abstract

  • Aryl sulfonamide-based endothelin antagonists were synthesized and covalently linked to the reactive lysine of the m38C2 antibody to create a series of CovX-Bodies. These chemically programmed antibodies behaved as potent endothelin receptor antagonists in vitro and had antitumor efficacy in a prostate cancer xenograft model which, on a molar basis, far exceeded the activity of the parent small molecule.
