Abstract
Towards the goal of identifying an intrinsically polar linker domain, we report that benzyl α-ammonium carbamates (BAC) undergo a tandem 1,6–1,2 elimination sequence to release secondary amines. A zwitterionic BAC linker variant is found to improve the labeling and reduce antibody aggregation when compared to a conventional and a cationic BAC linker. Finally, fluorescence imaging studies demonstrate that the model payload is released in antigen-expressing cells and tumors with high specificity.
