Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are biopharmaceuticals composed of an antibody, a linker, and a cytotoxic drug. They combine the targeting capabilities of monoclonal antibodies with the potent cell-killing effects of cytotoxic drugs (usually small molecule chemotherapeutic drugs), representing an innovative class of targeted cancer treatments. The increasing application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the synthesis of ADCs has brought revolutionary changes to the research and development in this field. ‍
