[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This patent application claims the priority benefit of the Chinese invention patent application with application number CN202310655433.X filed on June 5, 2023, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular, the present invention relates to an antibody-drug conjugate targeting B7-H3 and application thereof in tumor treatment. Background Art
[0004] B7-H3, also known as B7H3 or CD276, is a type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the B7 immune co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory family. B7-H3 is encoded by chromosome 15q24 and consists of an extracellular region, a transmembrane region, and a short intracellular region. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of a large number of normal tissues showed that B7-H3 was only lowly expressed in a few tissues, or even undetectable. However, B7-H3 has been found to be overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors such as bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and melanoma; and as research deepens, more evidence shows that B7-H3 mainly plays a co-inhibitory role in immune cells, which helps tumor cells escape immune surveillance. Therefore, overexpression of B7-H3 is associated with poor prognosis in tumor patients and the invasion and metastasis potential of tumors in in vitro models.
[0005] Currently, more than 20 clinical trials have been or are testing the safety and effectiveness of monoclonal antibody immunotherapy strategies targeting B7-H3. In addition, several antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting B7-H3 have entered the clinical trial stage at home and abroad.
[0006] The ADC drug DS-7300 targeting B7-H3 developed by Daiichi Sankyo is prepared by randomly coupling the MC-GGFG-Dxd drug-containing linker with the hM30 antibody targeting B7H3 to obtain a B7-H3 targeting ADC drug with DAR=4. The structure is shown below:
[0007]
[0008] MGC018, an ADC drug targeting B7-H3 developed by MacroGenics, is formed by coupling anti-B7-H3 humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody to Duocarmycin (DUBA) via a cleavable Linker, with an average DAR of 2.7. The structure is shown below:
[0009]
[0010] BAT8009, an ADC drug targeting B7-H3 developed by BioAtla, is composed of a recombinant humanized anti-B7-H3 antibody and a DNA topoisomerase inhibitor coupled via a cleavable linker.
[0011] ABBV-155, an ADC drug targeting B7-H3 developed by AbbVie, is a conjugate of an anti-B7-H3 antibody and a BCL-XL inhibitor that promotes apoptosis through a linker. It is used to treat advanced solid tumors. The structure is shown below:
[0012]
[0013] The above ADC drugs have shown certain therapeutic effects, but there are also certain problems. For example, MacroGenics announced a Phase I clinical trial (cohort expansion, NCT03729596) of MGC018 for the treatment of advanced solid tumors in 2021. In terms of safety, 43 patients experienced grade 3 or above treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) (50%), and common serious TRAEs included neutropenia (22.1%) and thrombocytopenia (7%). The DS-7300 developed by Daiichi Sankyo uses a random coupling method, which will cause the ADC product to have greater heterogeneity.
[0014] At present, there are still relatively few available types of ADCs containing camptothecin compounds targeting B7-H3, and in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of such existing ADC drugs, there is still a need in the art to provide an ADC drug containing camptothecin compounds that has better targeting to B7-H3 and has lower product heterogeneity, less side effects, and thus better therapeutic effects.
[0015] Chinese patent application CN202111459992.0 (publication number CN114573695A), filed on December 2, 2021 and entitled "An anti-human B7-H3 monoclonal antibody and its application", discloses mouse and humanized anti-human B7-H3 monoclonal antibodies. In this application, the recombinant human B7-H3 extracellular region was used as an immunogen, and a mouse anti-human B7-H3 monoclonal antibody capable of binding to the B7-H3 extracellular region was prepared by hybridoma technology; a human-mouse chimeric antibody capable of specifically binding to B7-H3 on the cell surface was constructed on the basis of the mouse antibody; further, a humanized antibody was constructed by CDRs transplantation and CDRs region mutation, and the humanized antibody retained the ability to specifically bind to the human B7-H3 extracellular region and B7-H3 on the cell membrane surface, and could be internalized by B7-H3 on the cell membrane surface. However, although the mouse-derived and humanized antibodies in this application have excellent effects, there is still room for further improvement. Summary of the invention
[0016] The inventors of the present invention have found that although a strain of anti-B7-H3 humanized antibody disclosed in CN114573695A has a high affinity for human B7-H3, it is easy to break. In the actual application of antibodies, the easy breakage and even fragmentation of antibodies will lead to increased heterogeneity of products containing the antibodies, thereby increasing the immunogenicity of the products, reducing the efficacy, and even causing toxic side effects. Therefore, whether it is used alone or further developed into other products, the humanized antibody has certain defects.
[0017] Therefore, based on the known anti-B7-H3 humanized antibody, the inventors of the present invention screened for a novel anti-B7-H3 antibody that can overcome the above-mentioned defects by using variable region site-directed mutagenesis; and further, attempted to couple the mutated antibody with a camptothecin compound of a specific structure to obtain an antibody-drug conjugate, in order to select an antibody-drug conjugate with better B7-H3 targeting and B7-H3-expressing cell killing effect.
[0018] Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide an antibody or a fragment thereof that specifically binds to B7-H3. Another object of the present invention is to provide an antibody-drug conjugate or a salt thereof that targets B7-H3 and is prepared using the antibody or a fragment thereof.
[0019] In the context of the present invention, halogen refers to fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) or iodine (I).
[0020] In the context of the present invention, "linker" is used interchangeably with "connector" or "linker compound".
[0021] In the context of the present invention, the term "drug-containing linker" refers to a compound in which a drug (eg, a small molecule drug such as a camptothecin compound) is directly or indirectly covalently bonded to a linker.
[0022] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows.
[0023] First aspect
[0024] The present invention provides an anti-B7-H3 antibody or a fragment thereof, wherein the antibody or the fragment thereof comprises a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein the heavy chain and the light chain comprise heavy chain complementary determining regions CDR-H1, CDR-H2 and CDR-H3 and light chain complementary determining regions CDR-L1, CDR-L2 and CDR-L3 from the following amino acid sequence combinations:

[0028] In the context of the present invention, the term "fragment" encompasses various functional fragments of the anti-B7-H3 antibody, which retain the antigen binding ability and corresponding biological activity of the antibody. It is well known in the art that the antigen binding ability and corresponding biological activity of the antibody can be achieved by fragments of intact antibodies, which can be obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art and screened for functionality in the same manner as for intact antibodies. For example, the antigen-binding fragment of the antibody can be produced by recombinant DNA technology or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. For example, the fragment can be a Fab, F(ab')2 or scFv fragment, etc.
[0029] The amino acid sequences of the above items are respectively the amino acid sequences of the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region of the specific anti-B7-H3 antibody provided by the present invention; see the "Specific Embodiments" section of the present invention. Using the definition tools of the complementary determining regions in the heavy chain or light chain variable region of antibodies known or conventional in the art (such as the Kabat scheme, the AbM scheme, the Chothia scheme, the Contact scheme, the IMGT scheme, the enhanced Chothia / Abm scheme), those skilled in the art can easily determine the heavy chain CDRs and light chain CDRs contained when the two are combined to form an antibody. For example, in Example 1 of the present invention, when defining CDRs according to the Kabat scheme, the position of the amino acid sequence of each CDR in the full length of the variable region is provided. Heavy chain CDRs and light chain CDRs combinations can be obtained according to the definition tools known or conventional in the art, and antibodies or fragments thereof containing each CDR combination in these heavy chain CDRs and light chain CDRs combinations are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] In the context of the present invention, the term "at least 75% identity" encompasses any percentage of identity between at least 75% identity and 100% identity, such as 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, even 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, even 100% identity. Depending on the use of the term, the up to 25% difference in amino acid sequence caused by the "at least 75% identity" may exist in the heavy chain or light chain CDRs, or in any region outside the heavy chain or light chain CDRs, such as the framework region of the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region of the antibody of the present invention or its fragment, or the heavy chain constant region and the light chain constant region of the antibody of the present invention or its fragment. The difference may be caused by deletion, addition or substitution of amino acids at any position, wherein the substitution may be a conservative substitution or a non-conservative substitution.

[0736] 1. General preparation method of antibody drug conjugates
[0737] a. General preparation method for site-directed coupling
[0738]
[0739] The antibody is reduced to open the disulfide bond, then coupled with the linker to form a bridged antibody-drug conjugate, then hydrolyzed to open the maleimide ring, and finally purified to obtain an antibody-drug conjugate with DAR=4. The details are as follows:
[0740] Reduction of antibodies: 120 mg of antibody sample was replaced with a buffer solution containing 50 mM sodium chloride and 50 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate at pH 7.0 using a NAP-25 column with a Sephadex G25 carrier, and the antibody concentration was diluted to 10 mg / ml. Take 10 ml of a total of 100 mg of antibody sample, add an aqueous solution of 10 mg / ml TCEP (Sigma-Aldrich) at an antibody-TCEP molar ratio of 1 to 10 equivalents, and the volume of the added TCEP aqueous solution is 2.1 ml. After incubation for 2 hours, the reaction solution was replaced with a Sephadex G25 column, and replaced with a buffer solution containing 50 mM sodium chloride and 50 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate at pH 6.5.
[0741] Coupling and hydrolysis of antibody and drug-containing linker: dilute the above reduced antibody to 5 mg / mL, add 0.38 ml of N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) as a presolvent at 2% of the total reaction volume, and add 0.67 ml of DMA-drug-containing linker mixed solution containing 10 mg / mL drug-containing linker at a molar ratio of 1 to 5.5 times of antibody-small molecule drug as the reaction solution. Stir at room temperature for 30 minutes. Use the NAP-25 column with Sephadex G25 carrier to replace the reaction solution with a disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution at pH 8.0, remove excess drug-containing linker, and heat in a water bath at 37°C for 3 hours.
[0742] Purification of antibody drug conjugates: The above samples were concentrated using AMICOM ultrafiltration centrifuge tubes to about 15 mg / mL. Add 50 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate + 3 M ammonium phosphate buffer solution until the conductivity is 100 ms / cm. Load the sample onto a TOYOPEAL Butyl-650M filler (purchased from TOSOH) hydrophobic column, phase A is 50 mm disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate + 0.6 M ammonium sulfate, and phase B is 50 mm disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution. Phase B was eluted with a gradient of 0-100% for 8 times the column volume, and the main peak was collected.
[0743] The final sample was replaced with 50 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 using an AMICOM ultrafiltration centrifuge tube and filtered using a 0.22 um filter membrane (Sartorius stedim Ministart).
[0744] b. General preparation method for random coupling
[0745]
[0746] The antibody is reduced to open the disulfide bonds and then coupled with the linker to form a bridged antibody drug conjugate.
[0747] Specifically, it is prepared according to the preparation method disclosed in patent CN104755494B.
[0748] 2. General analytical methods for antibody-drug conjugates
[0749] a. Determination of drug-antibody coupling ratio (UV-DAR method) and concentration by ultraviolet spectrophotometry
[0750] The concentration of the antibody drug conjugate can be obtained by measuring the UV absorbance at 280 nm and the characteristic absorption wavelength of the small molecule, and then performing the following calculation.
[0751] a1. Determination of Drug-Antibody Conjugate Ratio (DAR) of Antibody Drug Conjugates
[0752] According to the literature [Clin Cancer Res. 2004 Oct 15; 10(20):7063-70] in, is the molar absorption coefficient of the antibody at 280 nm, A 280 is the UV absorption value of the antibody-drug conjugate at 280 nm, A z is the UV absorption value of the antibody-drug conjugate at the characteristic absorption wavelength Znm of the drug-containing linker, is the molar absorption coefficient of the antibody at the characteristic absorption wavelength Z nm of the drug-containing linker, is the molar absorption coefficient of the drug-containing linker at its characteristic absorption wavelength Z nm, is the molar absorption coefficient of the drug-containing linker at 280 nm.
[0753] in:
[0754]
[0755] a2. Determination of drug concentration
[0756] Since the total absorbance at a certain wavelength is equal to the sum of the absorbances of all absorbing chemical species present in the system (additivity of absorbance), assuming that the molar absorptivity of the antibody and the drug-containing linker does not change before and after the antibody is conjugated to the drug-containing linker, the concentration of the antibody-drug conjugate has the following relationship:
[0757]
[0758] therefore, From this we get
[0759] Substituting the DAR value into the formula will give the protein concentration.
[0760] Among them, MW ADC is the molecular weight of the antibody drug conjugate, MW Ab is the molecular weight of the antibody, MW D is the molecular weight of the drug-containing linker.

[0874]
[0875] The above results show that in the Pan05.04 human pancreatic cancer transplant tumor model, B7H3-ADC-6 has significant tumor inhibitory activity compared with the solvent group; at the same dose, B7H3-ADC-6 has better tumor inhibitory activity than DS-7300; in three different dose groups (1 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg), the tumor inhibitory activity of B7H3-ADC-6 alone is better than that of the combined administration group of anti-B7H3 antibody hz10B4m1 + compound 3 (B7H3 antibody 10 mg / kg + compound 3 0.11 mg / kg).
[0876] Embodiment 89 Study on ADC targeting B7H3 inducing cellular DNA damage
[0877] Calu-6 cells were seeded in 6-well plates and treated with drugs B7H3-ADC-6 (0.6572, 6.572, 65.72, 657.2, 1971.7 nM), DS-7300 (0.6649, 6.649, 66.49, 664.9 nM), B7H3-ADC-6 antibody hz10B4m1 (675.4, 2026.3 nM) and compound 3 (0.1, 1 nM) for 72 h. The cells were collected and lysed with lysis buffer (0.1 M MES, pH 6.6, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.5% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol), centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was removed, and 1× SDS sample buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 6.8, 100 mM DTT, 2% SDS, 0.1% bromophenol blue, 10% glycerol), denatured in a boiling water bath for 10 min, and then the γ-H2AX level in the cells was detected by Western blot.
[0878] The experimental results showed that B7H3-ADC-6, DS-7300 and compound 3 could induce DNA damage in Calu-6 cells, while hz10B4m1 had no obvious DNA damage induction effect. Figure 4 .
[0879] Embodiment 90Study on the inhibition of proliferation of different tumor cells by ADC drugs targeting B7H3
[0880] The SRB method was used to detect the effect of drugs on the proliferation of tumor cells cultured in vitro. A certain number of cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into a 96-well culture plate. After the cells were grown overnight, different concentrations of drugs were added. After 144 hours of drug action, the cells were fixed with trichloroacetic acid. After staining with SRB solution (prepared with 1% glacial acetic acid, concentration of 4 mg / mL), 10 mM Tris solution was added to each well to dissolve. The OD value was read at a wavelength of 510 nm using an enzyme reader.
[0881] Inhibition rate (%) = (OD value control well - OD value drug well) / OD value control well × 100%
[0882] The MTT method was used to detect the effect of drugs on the proliferation of tumor cells cultured in vitro. A certain number of cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated in 96-well culture plates. After overnight adherence, different concentrations of drugs were added. After 144 hours of drug action, MTT was added to each well and cultured for 4 hours in a 37°C 5% CO2 saturated humidity incubator. 100 μL of the triple solution was added to each well, and the OD value was measured at 570nm and 690nm wavelengths on the microplate reader.
[0883] According to the inhibition rate of each concentration, the half inhibitory concentration IC was calculated using Graphpad Prism 8.0 software. 50 The experiment was repeated once, and the data were expressed as mean ± SD, and a concentration (logarithm)-inhibition rate graph was generated. The results are shown in Table 10.

[0885]
[0886]
[0887] The above studies show that B7H3-ADC-6 has a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of BxPC-3, ES-2, PANC05.04, Calu-6, Calu-3, HCT-116, MDA-MB-468, and PANC-1 tumor cells, which are superior to the B7H3 antibody hz10B4m1.
[0888] Embodiment 91 Study on the bystander killing effect of ADC targeting B7H3
[0889] B7H3-positive Calu-6 cells (purchased from ATCC) and B7H3-negative MV-4-11 / luc (MV-4-11 transferred with luciferase, purchased from Nanjing Kebai Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) cells were plated in 96-well plates at a ratio of 1:1 or B7H3-negative MV-4-11 / luc cells were inoculated in 96-well plates alone (control). After that, drug B7H3-ADC-6 (1000, 3000, 10000, 30000, 100000 ng / mL) was added to each well for treatment for 144 hours, followed by centrifugation, removal of supernatant, addition of lysis buffer to lyse cells, centrifugation, removal of supernatant, addition of substrate luciferin, and detection of fluorescence intensity by microplate reader.
[0890] Inhibition rate (%) = (OD value control well - OD value drug well) / OD value control well × 100%
[0891] The above studies show that B7H3-ADC-6 has a strong bystander effect: it kills B7H3-positive Calu-6 cells and B7H3-negative MV-4-11 / luc cells at the same time; but it has no significant effect on the proliferation of MV-4-11 / luc cells cultured alone. Figure 5 .

[0893] Calu-6 cells (purchased from ATCC) were seeded in 6-well plates, and the drug B7H3-ADC-6 (0.6752, 6.752, 67.52, 675.2, 1971.7 nM), B7H3-ADC-6 antibody hz10B4m1 (675.4, 2026.3 nM) and compound 3 (0.01, 0.1, 1 nM) were added. After 48 hours of treatment, the cells were collected and fixed with ethanol overnight. Then RNase and PI were added, mixed, and stained at 37°C in the dark for 30 minutes. Finally, the DNA content in the cells was detected by flow cytometry (BD FACS CALIBUR 4), and 1×10 4 Calu-6 cells cultured alone were used as controls. The experimental results were analyzed using ModFit Lt Mac V3.0 software.
[0894] The above studies show that B7H3-ADC-6 and compound 3 both significantly induced G2 / M phase arrest in Calu-6 cells; the anti-B7H3 antibody hz10B4m1 had no significant cell cycle arrest effect. In addition, the results showed that B7H3-ADC-6 induced cell cycle arrest in the G2 / M phase, which is consistent with the action characteristics of compound 3. Figure 6 .
