Fmoc-Val-Cit-PAB-MMAE CAS:1350456-56-2 is a type of small molecule drug that is composed of several functional groups. The Fmoc group is a protecting group that is commonly used in peptide synthesis to protect the N-terminal amino group. The Val and Cit groups are amino acids that are commonly found in peptides and proteins. The PAB group is a para-aminobenzoic acid group that is often used as a linker in drug conjugates. The MMAE group is a type of cytotoxic drug that is commonly used in cancer chemotherapy.
The combination of these functional groups in Fmoc-Val-Cit-PAB-MMAE is designed to create a drug that can selectively target cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells. The Fmoc group protects the amino group and helps to ensure that the drug is delivered intact to its target, while the Val and Cit amino acids provide a binding site for the drug to target specific cancer cells. The PAB linker ensures that the MMAE cytotoxic drug is delivered specifically to cancer cells, where it can exert its toxic effects and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
