The patent US12071477B2 describes an innovative antibody conjugate that specifically targets the folate receptor alpha (FOLR1). This conjugate is characterized by a site-specific linkage to at least one payload moiety, which can include various non-natural amino acids and hemiasterlin residues. The claims detail the structural formulas of the antibody conjugate, emphasizing the inclusion of monoclonal antibodies, humanized antibodies, and antibody fragments. Additionally, the conjugate may incorporate non-natural amino acids, enhancing its therapeutic potential. The claims also specify various combinations of heavy and light chain complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), providing a comprehensive framework for the design of these antibody conjugates.

Furthermore, the patent outlines the potential applications of these antibody conjugates in pharmaceutical compositions, which may include excipients, carriers, or diluents to facilitate their use in therapeutic settings. The specificity of the antibody for FOLR1 suggests potential utility in targeting cancer cells that overexpress this receptor, thereby enhancing the efficacy of the payload moieties linked to the antibody. The extensive list of CDR sequences and structural variations indicates a robust approach to optimizing the performance of these conjugates in clinical applications. Overall, this patent presents a significant advancement in the field of targeted therapies, particularly in the context of cancer treatment.
