Revolutionizing Targeted Therapies: Comprehensive ADC Services at Jubilant Biosys

In the rapidly evolving landscape of biopharmaceutical research, Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are redefining the way targeted therapies are developed and delivered. Combining the precision of monoclonal antibodies with the potent efficacy of cytotoxic drugs, ADCs offer a transformative approach to treating complex diseases such as cancer, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, pain and inflammation, and metabolic disorders.

At Jubilant Biosys, our ADC Services are built on cutting-edge science, integrated workflows, and deep domain expertise. From discovery to preclinical development, we empower our partners with tailored ADC solutions that enhance therapeutic potential while minimizing off-target effects.

 

What Are Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs)?

Antibody-Drug Conjugates are sophisticated biopharmaceuticals designed to deliver cytotoxic agents directly to diseased cells. By linking a monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific to a target antigen with a potent payload (drug), ADCs combine the specificity of antibodies with the lethality of small-molecule drugs. This unique mechanism enhances efficacy while significantly reducing systemic toxicity — a key advancement over traditional therapies.

An ADC typically comprises three critical components:

1. Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) – Precisely targets specific antigens on diseased cells.
2. Linker – Attaches the drug to the antibody and ensures stable circulation until the drug reaches the target site.
3. Payload (Cytotoxic Agent) – A powerful compound that induces cell death once internalized.

At Jubilant Biosys, our integrated ADC development services encompass target validation, linker chemistry, payload design, bioconjugation optimization, and bioanalytical characterization, ensuring high-quality and efficient ADC programs.

Therapeutic Focus Areas in ADC Development

1. Oncology: Targeted Cancer Therapies

The most prominent application of ADCs lies in oncology, where they have revolutionized cancer treatment by enabling precision drug delivery. Traditional chemotherapies, while effective, often harm healthy cells and cause severe side effects. ADCs overcome these limitations by delivering cytotoxic agents directly to cancer cells expressing specific tumor antigens.

At Jubilant Biosys, we leverage cutting-edge target identification, linker design, and payload selection strategies to develop ADCs that maximize tumor cell killing while sparing normal tissues. Our oncology-focused ADC platforms are being applied across multiple cancer types, including breast, lung, hematologic, and gastrointestinal cancers.

With a strong foundation in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) and bioanalytical testing, Jubilant Biosys supports the rapid development of oncology ADCs from discovery through IND-enabling studies.

 

2. Central Nervous System (CNS) Disorders: Overcoming Barriers in Neurological Drug Delivery

Treating CNS disorders poses a unique challenge due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts most therapeutic agents from reaching the brain. ADCs are now being explored as promising candidates for targeted CNS therapies, allowing delivery of bioactive molecules to specific neuronal targets.

Jubilant Biosys is pioneering ADC strategies that address the complexities of CNS disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s) and brain cancers (like glioblastoma). Our research integrates BBB permeability studies, targeted antibody engineering, and payload optimization to develop ADCs that safely and effectively cross into the CNS.

By applying our integrated DMPK and neuropharmacology capabilities, Jubilant Biosys aims to redefine ADC-based therapeutic approaches for challenging neurological conditions.

 

3. Pain and Inflammation: Precision Targeting for Chronic and Acute Conditions

Chronic pain and inflammatory diseases remain major areas of unmet medical need. Conventional therapies often lead to systemic side effects or tolerance issues. ADCs, with their selective targeting capabilities, present a novel approach to pain and inflammation management.

At Jubilant Biosys, we design ADCs that modulate specific inflammatory pathways, such as cytokine or receptor-mediated signaling, to reduce inflammation without compromising immune function. Our team employs biochemical screening, linker stability assessments, and in vivo efficacy models to evaluate and optimize ADC candidates for pain and inflammatory indications.

These innovative ADC platforms have the potential to transform treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, neuropathic pain, and autoimmune disorders, offering long-lasting relief and reduced systemic exposure.

 

4. Metabolic Disorders: Next-Generation Therapeutic Strategies

Metabolic disorders, including diabetes, obesity, and lipid metabolism dysfunctions, require precise modulation of metabolic pathways. ADCs are now being explored for their potential to selectively target metabolic regulators in specific tissues, offering improved efficacy and minimized off-target effects.

Jubilant Biosys applies its multidisciplinary expertise in biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmacology to develop ADCs tailored for metabolic diseases. By leveraging targeted delivery mechanisms, our scientists aim to improve the therapeutic index of metabolic drugs, ensuring enhanced bioavailability and safety profiles.

This innovative application of ADCs could revolutionize the treatment of metabolic disorders, creating new possibilities for long-term disease management.
