Abstract

The present invention is directed to novel bifunctional CTI-CTI and CBI-CTI dimers of the formula:

F 1 -L 1 -T-L 2 -F 2

where F 1 , L 1 , T, L 2 and F 2 are as defined herein, useful for the treatment for proliferative diseases, where the inventive dimers can function as stand-alone drugs, payloads in antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs), and linker-payload compounds useful in connection with the production or administration of such ADCs; and to compositions including the aforementioned dimers, linker-payloads and ADCs, and methods for using these dimers, linker-payloads and ADCs, to treat pathological conditions including cancer.
