    Herein we report the use of next generation maleimides (NGMs) for the construction of a potent antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) via functional disulfide bridging. The linker has excellent stability in blood serum and the ADC, armed with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), shows excellent potency and cancer cell selectivity in vitro.
