WuXi XDC and IntoCell announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a comprehensive partnership in drug-linker technology and CRDMO services spanning from discovery to commercialization. Under the agreement, IntoCell will provide proprietary drug-linker technologies using their Ortho-Hydroxy Protected Aryl Sulfate (OHPASTM) Linker and novel Camptothecin drugs called NexatecansTM, a new class of OHPAS-able Camptothecins. WuXi XDC will provide fully integrated, one-stop bioconjugate platform and end-to-end CRDMO services.

This synergy will empower clients of both parties to accelerate PCC (Pre-clinical candidates) selection further, develop more next-generation ADCs and other bioconjugates, and expedite the CMC development process.
