Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an anti-delta-like ligand 3 monoclonal antibody and application thereof, belonging to the field of biotechnology. Background Art
[0002] Delta-Like Ligand 3 (DLL3) is a single-pass transmembrane protein attached to the cell surface and a member of the Notch ligand family. DLL3 inhibits the activation of the Notch signaling pathway by interacting with the Notch receptor, contributing to processes such as tumor proliferation, migration, and invasion.
[0003] Delta-like ligand 3 is highly expressed on the cell membrane of neuroendocrine tumors. Therefore, delta-like ligand 3 is a potential drug target for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, especially in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The positive expression of delta-like ligand 3 (≥25%) reaches 85%, and the high expression of delta-like ligand 3 (≥75%) reaches 68%. In addition, its expression is low or not expressed in normal tissues.
[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are targeted therapeutics that combine the high targeting properties of monoclonal antibodies with the high activity of cytotoxic drugs. In ADCs, monoclonal antibodies are conjugated to biologically active cytotoxic small molecule drugs via cleavable or non-cleavable linkers. These ADCs can deliver cytotoxic drugs directly to tumor cells, minimizing damage to normal cells and thus improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects. The development of anti-DL-ligand-3 monoclonal antibodies with high affinity for DL-ligand-3 is crucial for the development of ADCs targeting neuroendocrine tumors. Summary of the Invention

[0086] In order to make the present invention easier to understand, certain technical terms are specifically defined below. Unless otherwise explicitly stated elsewhere in this document, the technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.
[0087] Antibody: refers to immunoglobulin molecules and immunologically active portions of immunoglobulin molecules, i.e., molecules that contain an antigen-binding site that immunospecifically binds to an antigen. Thus, the term antibody encompasses not only intact antibody molecules but also fragments of such antibodies and variants (including derivatives) of such antibodies and antibody fragments.
[0088] Antibody heavy chain: consists of a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as "VH") and a heavy chain constant region comprising three domains: CH1, CH2, and CH3.
[0089] Antibody light chain: comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as "VL") and a light chain constant region containing one domain, CL.
[0090] FR (Framework Region): The term framework region refers to four conserved polypeptide segments within the light chain variable domain and the heavy chain variable domain.
[0091] CDR (Complementarity Determining Region): The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the regions within the light and heavy chain variable domains that primarily contribute to antigen binding. The light and heavy chain variable domains each contain three CDR regions: LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3; and HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3. Antibodies of the present invention include, but are not limited to, monoclonal, multispecific, human, or chimeric antibodies, single-chain antibodies, scFv fragments, and Fab fragments. Antibody molecules of the present invention can be of any immunoglobulin type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA, and IgY), class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, gA1, and IgA2), or subclass.
[0092] Constant region: The constant region of an antibody is located near the carbon-terminus of the H chain and the L chain. The heavy chain constant region is divided into CH1, CH2, and CH3, while the light chain constant region is CL. The CH3 region is involved in binding to cell membrane receptors, while CH2 is involved in the complement activation pathway and serves as the complement binding site.
[0093] Antibody acquisition: The antibodies of the present invention can be prepared using techniques well known in the art, such as the hybridoma method, recombinant DNA technology, phage display technology, synthetic technology, or a combination of these technologies, or other techniques known in the art.
[0094] Antibody discovery: The monoclonal antibody of the present invention obtained by hybridoma method is preferably a mouse anti-human DLL3 monoclonal antibody.
[0095] Antibody humanization: The mouse anti-human DLL3 monoclonal antibody of the present invention is a monoclonal antibody with human FR regions formed by humanization engineering.
[0096] Antibody drug conjugate (ADC): A conjugate obtained by connecting an antibody (or its antigen-binding fragment) to a drug directly or through a linker.
[0097] Linker: A chemical structure or bond that is attached to an antibody at one end and to a drug at the other. Other linkers can also be attached to the antibody or drug. Linker attachment to antibodies can be accomplished in a variety of ways, such as via surface lysines, reductive coupling to oxidized carbohydrates, cysteine residues released by reduction of interchain disulfide bonds, reactive cysteine residues engineered at specific sites, and tags containing the acyl donor glutamine or endogenous glutamine made reactive by engineering the polypeptide in the presence of transglutaminase and an amine.
[0098] Drug loading, also known as the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), refers to the average number of drugs conjugated per antibody in an ADC. This can range, for example, from about 1 to about 10 drugs conjugated per antibody, and in certain embodiments, from about 1 to about 8 drugs conjugated per antibody. Drug loading can be expressed as p, which can be a decimal or integer. Drug loading can be measured using conventional methods such as UV / visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA, HIC, and RP-HPLC.

If no manufacturer is specified for the reagents or instruments used, they are all commercially available conventional reagents.
[0101] The structures of the compounds described in the following examples were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (HNMR) and / or mass spectrometry (MS). HNMR was performed using a Bruker 400 MHz NMR instrument, with deuterated chloroform (CDCl3) or deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide (d6-DMSO) as the solvent, and tetramethylsilane (TMS) as the internal standard. All chemical shift values (δ) are given in parts per million (ppm). Mass spectrometry (MS) was performed using a Thermo Fisher Vanquish & TSQ Quantis™ instrument. Preparative liquid chromatography was performed using a Gilson GX-281 instrument and a Welch Xtimate C18 30×150 mm, 5 μm column. Reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), using developing systems including, but not limited to, dichloromethane and methanol and petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. The volume ratio of the solvents was adjusted according to the polarity of the compound, including, but not limited to, the addition of triethylamine or acetic acid.
[0102] Experimental Example 1: Preparation, Extraction and Identification of Monoclonal Antibodies Against Delta-like Ligand 3 (DLL3) 1. Mouse immunization Five BALB / c mice and five C57bl / 6 mice (purchased from Jiangsu Jicui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) were immunized with human DLL3 target protein (purchased from Biopsy). The specific immunization procedure was as follows: The mice were given the first immunization, the first booster immunization, the second booster immunization, and the third booster immunization on day 0, day 14, day 28, and day 56, respectively. During the immunization period, blood was collected from the mice 4 days before the first immunization, on day 21, and on day 35, and the serum was separated. The antibody titer in the mouse serum was detected by ELISA. Two mice with high antibody titers in the serum were selected for booster immunization to obtain δ-like ligand 3-immunized mice. During the first immunization, the human DLL3 target protein was first diluted with physiological saline to obtain a dilution (dilution ratio of 1 mg:1 mL); the dilution was then mixed with Freund's complete adjuvant (purchased from Shanghai Yisheng) at a volume ratio of 1:1 to obtain an immune preparation; the immune preparation was then subcutaneously injected into the mice at a dose of 50 μg protein per mouse to complete the first immunization; after the first immunization, Freund's incomplete adjuvant (purchased from Shanghai Yisheng) was used for subsequent booster immunizations, among which the first and third booster immunizations were intraperitoneal injections, and the second booster immunization was subcutaneous injection. The injection dose of the three booster immunizations was 25 μg protein per mouse.
[0103] 2. Spleen cell fusion Two mice with high neutralizing antibody titers were selected based on serum titers. The spleens were dissected and ground into single splenocytes. The single splenocytes were washed once with serum-free DMEM medium (purchased from Gibco) and centrifuged at 300 g for 8 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the spleen cell pellet was collected. The spleen cell pellet was resuspended in serum-free DMEM medium and the number of spleen cells was counted to obtain a spleen cell suspension. Mouse plasma cells were fused with sp20 cells (purchased from ATCC) to obtain fused cells (using the Edward A. Greenfield electrofusion protocol, with a fusion efficiency of approximately one hybridoma per 200 B cells; for details, see the reference "Schmitt, JJ et al. "Efficient generation of stable antibody forming hybridoma cells by electrofusion.").

[0104] 3. Monoclonal Antibody Screening The cell culture supernatant obtained by culture and screening was collected, and monoclonal antibody screening was performed by ELISA and flow cytometry to obtain the high-affinity antibody mJFab8.
[0105] The ELISA detection process is as follows: antigen A (human DLL3 protein, purchased from Biopsies, the complete amino acid sequence of human DLL3 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO. 16), antigen B (cynomolgus macaque DLL3 protein, purchased from Biopsies, the complete amino acid sequence of cynomolgus macaque DLL3 is shown in SEQ ID NO. 17) or antigen C (mouse DLL3 protein, purchased from Biopsies, the complete amino acid sequence of mouse DLL3 is shown in SEQ ID NO. 18) is coated with a coating buffer (Nanjing GenScript Co., Ltd.). NO.43) were diluted to a concentration of 0.5 μg / mL to obtain antigen dilution solutions; the antigen dilution solutions were added to the ELISA plate at a volume of 100 μL / well, incubated at 4°C overnight (16 h), and then the supernatant in the wells was discarded to obtain antigen-coated ELISA plates; blocking buffer (Nanjing GenScript Company) was added to the ELISA plate coated with the primary antibody at a volume of 100 μL / well, incubated at 37°C for 1 h, and then the supernatant in the wells was discarded to obtain blocked ELISA plates; human lovatuzumab ADC (purchased from Nanjing Pengbo Bio) and mouse lovatuzumab ADC (purchased from Nanjing Pengbo Bio) were used as positive controls, and human IgG (purchased from Nanjing Pengbo Bio) was used as a negative control. The antibody to be tested (i.e., the cell culture supernatant obtained by culture screening) was quantified and then serially diluted to obtain primary antibody dilution solutions of different concentrations; Different concentrations of primary antibody dilutions were added to the blocked ELISA plate at a volume of 100 μL / well, incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, and then the supernatant in the wells was discarded to obtain the ELISA plate incubated with the primary antibody; HRP-coupled goat anti-mouse IgG or HRP-coupled goat anti-human IgG (purchased from Jackson) was diluted to the recommended working concentration using blocking buffer according to the instructions of the secondary antibody to obtain the secondary antibody dilution; the secondary antibody dilution was added to the antibody-incubated ELISA plate at a volume of 100 μL / well, incubated at 37°C for 330 minutes, and then the supernatant in the wells was discarded to obtain the ELISA plate incubated with the secondary antibody; the absorbance of each well in the ELISA plate incubated with the secondary antibody at 450 nm was detected using a multifunctional microplate reader (purchased from Beijing Kaiao Technology Co., Ltd.); according to the measured absorbance, GraphPad Prism was used to fit the EC50 values of the test antibodies, which were used to measure their affinity for delta-like ligand 3. For ELISA assays, all test antibodies were initially diluted to a 10 mM concentration, followed by a three-fold serial dilution. The ELISA results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0106] The flow cytometric assay process involved testing each monoclonal antibody separately using CHO-K1 (purchased from Nanjing Pengbo Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) as the negative cell line and a CHO-K1 / DLL3-overexpressing cell line (purchased from Nanjing Pengbo Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) as the positive cell line. Human and mouse lovatuzumab ADCs served as positive controls, human IgG served as the isotype control, and PBS buffer served as the negative control. The assay process involved incubating the monoclonal antibody samples with each of the two cell lines at 4°C, washing, incubating with the secondary antibody, and then washing and analyzing the flow cytometer. (For detailed flow cytometric assay protocols, see the reference "Tabatabaei, Mahdis Sadat, and Marya Ahmed. "Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).") Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, NJ) vol. 2508 (2022): 115-134.”).

Flow cytometry results are shown in Table 3.
[0107] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, a total of 10 hybridoma cell lines producing mouse-derived monoclonal antibodies against delta-like ligand 3 were screened by ELISA. The 10 hybridoma cell lines and the mouse-derived monoclonal antibodies against delta-like ligand 3 secreted by them were named mJFab1, mJFab2, mJFab3, mJFab4, mJFab5, mJFab6, mJFab7, mJFab8, mJFab9, and mJFab10, respectively. Among these monoclonal antibodies, except for mJFab5 which has a poor affinity, the other antibody samples have high affinity for delta-like ligand 3.

Affinity measurements of the humanized antibodies JFab4, JFab12, JFab13, JFab12b, and JFab13b were performed using Biacore T200 (Cytiva) using the monoclonal antibody mJFab8 as a control. The affinity measurement results are shown in Tables 6-7.

[0123] 8. Humanized Antibody Internalization Detection The endocytic activity of the antibodies was detected using human small cell lung cancer SHP-77 (purchased from the Shanghai Cell Bank, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and human small cell lung cancer NCI-H82 (purchased from the Shanghai Cell Bank, Chinese Academy of Sciences). The endocytic activity assay was performed as follows: the antibody to be tested was diluted to a concentration of 15 μg / mL in PBS buffer containing 2% (v / v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) to obtain the antibody dilution solution; for each antibody, 4 aliquots of 1.5×10 5After the cells were plated in a 96-well U-shaped plate, the supernatant was discarded by centrifugation. The antibody dilution to be tested was added to the 96-well U-shaped plate at a volume of 200 μL / well and incubated on ice for 45 min. After the incubation, the cells were centrifuged at 4°C and the supernatant was discarded. 150 μL / well of PBS buffer containing 2% (v / v) FBS (fetal bovine serum) was added to the 96-well U-shaped plate and the supernatant was discarded by centrifugation. This operation was repeated twice. After the cells in the 96-well U-shaped plate were resuspended with 200 μL / well PBS buffer, three aliquots of cells were taken out and incubated in a 37°C cell culture incubator for 4 h, 1 h, and 0 h respectively. The remaining aliquot of cells was placed on ice for 4 h. After the incubation time was completed, all sample cells were placed at 4°C and centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded. Alexa Fluor 647-labeled goat anti-human IgG (Jackson, Cat. No. 109-605-098, 2% FBS-PBS) was added. 1:800 dilution) was added to a 96-well U-shaped plate at a volume of 100 μL / well and incubated on ice for 30 minutes. After the incubation, the cells were centrifuged at 4°C and the supernatant was discarded. 150 μL / well of PBS buffer containing 2% (v / v) FBS (fetal bovine serum) was added to a 96-well U-shaped plate and the supernatant was discarded. The operation was repeated twice. The cells in the 96-well U-shaped plate were resuspended with 200 μL / well of PBS buffer containing 2% (v / v) FBS (fetal bovine serum) and the cells were incubated with Attune ® The mean fluorescence intensity in the wells was detected by NxT (purchased from Thermo). The internalization rate of different test antibodies in SHP-77 cells or NCI-H82 cells was calculated according to the formula: internalization rate (%) = 100-(MFI of the sample incubated at 37°C at that time point / MFI of the control sample incubated at 4°C at that time point) × 100. The internalization effect of the test antibodies in small cell lung cancer cells with high expression of delta-like ligand 3 was then evaluated. The fluorescence value statistics are shown in Tables 9 and 10, and the internalization rate (%) is shown in Figure 1~Figure 2 .
[0124] The cell surface antibody loading can be expressed by the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), and the fluorescence intensity decreases with the extension of incubation time, which indicates that the antibody is internalized by the cell, the cell surface antibody loading decreases, and the fluorescence intensity decreases. Figure 1~Figure 2 It can be seen that the humanized antibodies JFab12, JFab13, JFab12b and JFab13b can all be internalized by small cell lung cancer cells with high expression of delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) and the internalization efficiency is high.

[0127] 9. Study on the specificity of humanized antibodies Immunoblotting was performed using the JFab13b antibody with human DLL1 recombinant protein (purchased from Yisheng Biotechnology, with the complete amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.41), human DLL3 recombinant protein (purchased from Biopsies, with the complete amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.16), or human DLL4 recombinant protein (purchased from Huamei Biotechnology, with the complete amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.42) to determine the specificity of the antibody (for details of the immunoblotting assay, see the reference “Hirano, Seishiro. “Western blot analysis.”). Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, NJ) vol. 926 (2012):87-97.”). In immunoblotting experiments, all antigens contained a histidine His tag and could also be detected by immunoblotting using anti-His tag antibodies. JFab13b and anti-His tag antibodies (purchased from Mitaka Bio) were used as primary antibodies and were conjugated with rabbit anti-human IgG-HRP (purchased from Solebro) and rabbit anti-mouse IgG-HRP (purchased from Solebro) for color development, respectively. The color development results are shown in Figure 3 .
[0128] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that JFab13b only binds to human DLL3 recombinant protein, and does not bind to DLL1 recombinant protein and DLL4 recombinant protein, proving that JFab13b specifically binds to DLL3 recombinant protein.

Deruxtecan (purchased from Shanghai Xiyao Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd., CAS No. 1599440-13-7, using an MC-GGFG peptide as the linker) and the compounds from Examples 2-1 to 2-19 (LP-1 to LP-19) were dissolved in DMSO to a 10 mM solution. 12.0 eq of each solution was added to Reaction Solution A, and DMSO was supplemented to a final concentration of 10% (v / v) to obtain a reaction system. The reaction system was reacted in a 25°C water bath for 2 hours to obtain Reaction Solution B. Reaction Solution B was purified using Amicon Ultra 30K ultrafiltration tubes or Protein A 4FF agarose purification resin (purchased from Sangon) to remove unconjugated small molecules, yielding the corresponding ADC, which was stored at -80°C. The antibody-drug conjugation ratio (DAR) was determined using RP-HPLC / MS. Purity was determined using SEC-HPLC.
[0233] Method 2: Different monoclonal antibodies (purity greater than 95%) obtained in Experimental Example 1 were exchanged into PBS (0.012 M PBS buffer, pH 7.4; final monoclonal antibody concentration 5.0 mg / mL, 1.0 eq) using Amicon Ultra 30K ultrafiltration tubes to obtain exchange solutions. An aqueous solution containing 10 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) (2.5 eq) was added to the exchange solutions. The mixture was reacted in a 37°C water bath for 1.5 hours to completely open the disulfide bonds between the antibodies, yielding reaction solution A. Reaction solution A was cooled to 25°C in a water bath. MC-VC-PAB-MMAE (purchased from Shanghai Haoyuan Biopharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd., using the linker MC-Val-Cit-PAB), MC-VA-PABC-Exatecan (purchased from Shanghai Haoyuan Biopharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd., using the linker MC-Val-Ala-PAB), and the compounds from Examples 2-1 to 2-19 (LP-1 to LP-19) were dissolved in DMSO to a 10 mM solution. 6.0 eq of each solution was added to reaction solution A, and DMSO was supplemented to a final concentration of 10% (v / v) to obtain a reaction system. The reaction system was reacted in a 25°C water bath for 2 hours to obtain reaction solution B. Reaction solution B was purified using Amicon Ultra 30K ultrafiltration tubes or Protein A 4FF agarose purification resin (purchased from Sangon) to remove unconjugated small molecules, yielding the corresponding ADC, which was stored at -80°C. The antibody-drug conjugation ratio (DAR) was calculated using RP-HPLC / MS. The purity was checked using SEC-HPLC method.
[0234] Method 3: The different monoclonal antibodies (purity greater than 95%) obtained in Experimental Example 1 were exchanged into PBS (0.012 M PBS buffer, pH 7.4; final monoclonal antibody concentration 5.0 mg / mL, 1.0 eq) using Amicon Ultra 30K ultrafiltration tubes to obtain exchange solutions. An aqueous solution containing 10 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) (3.4 eq) was added to the exchange solutions, and the mixture was reacted in a 37°C water bath for 1.5 hours to completely break the disulfide bonds between the antibodies, yielding Reaction Solution A. Reaction Solution A was cooled to 25°C in a water bath. Compounds (LP-1 to LP-19) from Examples 2-1 to 2-19 were dissolved in DMSO to prepare 10 mM solutions. Each solution was then added at a 10.0 eq volume to Reaction Solution A. DMSO was then added to a final concentration of 10% (v / v) to obtain a reaction system. The reaction system was reacted in a 25°C water bath for 2 hours to obtain Reaction Solution B. Reaction solution B was purified using Amicon Ultra30K ultrafiltration tubes or Protein A 4FF agarose purification resin (purchased from Sangon) to remove unconjugated small molecules. The corresponding ADC was obtained and stored at -80°C. The antibody-drug conjugate ratio (DAR) was calculated using RP-HPLC / MS. Purity was assessed using SEC-HPLC.
[0235] Among them, the antibody-drug coupling ratio (DAR value) detection method is as follows: The sample was diluted to a concentration of 1 mg / mL with 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate aqueous solution, and 1 μL of N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) was added. The reaction was allowed to react at room temperature for 2 hours. After the reaction was complete, dithiothreitol (DTT) was added to a final concentration of 20 mM. The reaction was allowed to react at room temperature for 1 hour before analysis was performed directly on the instrument. Instrument model: Thermo Fisher Vanquish & QE-HF-X. LC parameters are shown in Table 11. Mass spectrometry conditions were: ESI ion source, spray voltage 3.8 kV, sheath gas (N2) flow rate 40 arb, scan range (m / z) 400-6000; data acquisition was performed in positive ion mode using data-dependent ionization (DDA) mode.
[0236] Purity detection method is as follows: SEC purity analysis - SEC-HPLC (size exclusion chromatography). Instrument model: Agilent 1260 liquid chromatograph. Sample preparation: Dilute the sample to approximately 1 mg / mL with mobile phase, centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 5 minutes, and sample the supernatant for analysis. Chromatographic conditions are shown in Table 12.

[0239] Experimental Example 2: Evaluation of the drugability of antibody-drug conjugates The drugability of the antibody-drug conjugate of Example 3-1 was evaluated (drugability evaluation consisted of measuring the DAR value by RP-HPLC / MS and measuring purity by SEC-HPLC, as described in patent application publication number CN116271079A). The evaluation results are shown in Table 13 (in Table 13, ADC-1 to ADC-12, ADC-13 to ADC-18, ADC-21-8, ADC-22, ADC-23, ADC-24-8, ADC-25, ADC-26, ADC-27-8, and ADC-28 were prepared using Method 1 of Example 3-1; ADC-MMAE, ADC-19, ADC-20, ADC-21-4, ADC-24-4, and ADC-27-4 were prepared using Method 2 of Example 3-1; and ADC-27-6 was prepared using Method 3 of Example 3-1).
[0240] As can be seen from Table 13, at an appropriate drug loading amount, the JFab12b antibody can be normally coupled to Deruxtecan, LP-1, LP-2, LP-3, LP-4, LP-5, LP-6, LP-7, LP-8, LP-9, LP-10, and MC-Vc-PAB-MMAE; the JFab13 antibody can be normally coupled to LP-3 and LP-7; the JFab13b antibody can be normally coupled to LP-7, LP-8, LP-11, LP-12, Deruxtecan, LP-13, LP-14, LP-15, LP-16, LP-17, LP-18, and LP-19; the drug-antibody coupling ratio and aggregation degree obtained by coupling meet the expected requirements; however, the aggregation degree after coupling of JFab12b and JFab13b antibodies with MC-VA-PAB-Exatecan exceeds the acceptable range even at the lowest drug loading amount. It can be seen that except for the MC-VA-PAB-Exatecan coupling, the druggability of other studied cases is feasible.

[0242] Experimental Example 3: Evaluation of in vitro cytotoxic activity of antibody-drug conjugates The in vitro cytotoxic activity of the antibody-drug conjugate described in Example 3-1 was evaluated using NCI-H82, SHP-77, and DMS-53 cells (all purchased from the Shanghai Cell Bank, Chinese Academy of Sciences). The in vitro cytotoxic activity evaluation method was as follows: a cell suspension was prepared in cell culture medium supplemented with 10% (v / v) fetal bovine serum. 135 μL of the cell suspension was added to each well of a 96-well plate. Cells were not plated in the first and twelfth columns, and only 135 μL of culture medium was added. The plates were then incubated at 37°C in 5% (v / v) CO2 for 16 hours. The ADC sample to be tested was prepared in PBS buffer to a working solution (10× concentration) in the first well. Serial dilutions were then performed using PBS buffer at the corresponding dilution multiples. 15 μL of the 10× concentration ADC solution was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 5 days. Add 15 μL of CCK-8 solution (APExBIO) to each well, incubate in 5% CO2 at 37°C in the dark for 1–4 hours, read absorbance at 450 nm with a microplate reader, and analyze data using GraphPad Prism 5. See Table 14 for different cell plating densities, initial working solution concentrations (10× concentration), and ADC sample dilution factors. See Table 15 for in vitro cytotoxic activity evaluation results.
[0243] As shown in Table 15, with the exception of ADC-20, which exhibited relatively weak in vitro cytotoxic activity, the remaining ADCs in Example 3-1 all exhibited significant in vitro cytotoxic activity against NCI-H82 cells. Furthermore, their cytotoxicity was not significantly different from that of ADC-1 and ADC-18, which were conjugated to deruxtecan. This indicates that the antibody-drug conjugates in Example 3-1 exhibited strong target cell cytotoxic activity, specifically against NCI-H82 cells expressing delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3).
[0244] As shown in Table 15, the antibody-drug conjugates of Example 3-1 all exhibited significant in vitro cytotoxicity against SHP-77 cells. Furthermore, when conjugated with JFab12b, ADC-8 exhibited a lower IC50 compared to ADC-1 conjugated with deruxtecan. When conjugated with JFab13b, ADC-15, ADC-27-6, and ADC-27-8 exhibited lower IC50s compared to ADC-18 conjugated with deruxtecan. ADC-16, ADC-25, and ADC-27-4 showed no significant differences. The remaining ADCs tested exhibited higher IC50s. Consequently, ADC-1, ADC-8, ADC-9, ADC-15, ADC-16, ADC-18, ADC-25, ADC-27-4, ADC-27-6, and ADC-27-8 exhibited potent cytotoxicity against SHP-77 cells expressing delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3).
[0245] As shown in Table 15, the antibody-drug conjugates of Example 3-1 all exhibited significant in vitro cytotoxicity against DMS-53 cells. Furthermore, when conjugated with JFab13b, ADC-16, ADC-24-4, ADC-24-8, ADC-27-4, ADC-27-6, and ADC-27-8 exhibited lower IC50 values compared to ADC-18 conjugated with deruxtecan. There was no significant difference for ADC-25, while the IC50 values for the remaining ADCs tested were higher. Consequently, ADC-16, ADC-18, ADC-24-4, ADC-24-8, ADC-25, ADC-27-4, ADC-27-6, and ADC-27-8 exhibited potent cytotoxic activity against DMS-53 cells expressing delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3).
