AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to effectively target and deliver payloads to specific locations within the body, particularly in cancer treatment and immunotherapy, leading to poor treatment outcomes.
Using antibody-tetraazine conjugates, the targeted delivery of payloads is achieved through bioorthogonal conjugation of the targeting moiety and the trans-cyclooctene moiety. The binding affinity of the antibody to the tumor receptor enhances the accumulation of the conjugate at the tumor site.
This enabled efficient accumulation of the payload at tumor sites, improving the effectiveness of cancer treatment and immune response, and enhancing the targeting and selectivity of treatment.

[0091] In some embodiments, the application is simultaneous.
[0092] In some embodiments, application is sequential. In some embodiments, the targeting portion is applied prior to the payload-TCO conjugate.
[0093] In some embodiments, the first dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject less than 48 hours after the administration of the targeted portion, or more than 4 hours but less than 48 hours after the administration of the targeted portion.
[0094] In some embodiments, a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject less than 48 hours after the administration of the targeted portion, or more than 4 hours but less than 48 hours after the administration of the targeted portion.
[0095] In some embodiments, a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject less than 48 hours after the administration of the targeted portion.
[0096] In some embodiments, a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject more than 4 hours but less than 48 hours after the administration of the targeted portion.
[0097] In some embodiments, the target portion is applied at least 8 to about 24 hours before the application of the payload-TCO conjugate.
[0098] In some embodiments, the targeting portion is administered over a period of 0 to 8 serum half-lives.

Because the targeting moiety is locally applied to the desired location on the subject as described above, the selective binding between the trans-cyclooctene of the payload-TCO conjugate and the tetrazine of the targeting moiety positions the payload at the desired target site.
[0102] The method disclosed herein allows for selective and safe delivery of the payload, thus reducing side effects or toxicity associated with off-target delivery. Furthermore, therapeutic efficacy is achieved with only a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate, administered using the two agents described herein.
[0103] As described herein, selective delivery of payloads can be achieved by administering payload-TCO conjugates within a specific therapeutic window following administration of the target agent. The relatively inert, systemically administered payload-TCO conjugates are activated at the target site (e.g., a tumor) via a covalent click chemistry reaction, followed by chemical rearrangement to release the active payload.

[0168] In some embodiments, the cancer is a solid tumor.
[0169] In some embodiments, the cancer is a soft tissue sarcoma.
[0170] In some embodiments, the soft tissue sarcoma is a fibrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, or Ewing's sarcoma.
[0171] In some embodiments, the method further includes enhancing or inducing an immune response. In some embodiments, the immune response is an increase in one or more of leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils.
[0172] In some embodiments, the method further includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of an additional therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of: anticancer agents, immunomodulators, or their trans-cyclooctene prodrugs. Anticancer agents, immunomodulators, and their trans-cyclooctene prodrugs are known in the art.
[0173] The indications for this method include both cancer, hematologic malignancies, and solid tumors. In some embodiments, the method can be used to treat and / or diagnose soft tissue sarcomas: rhabdomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and all different subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma, as well as osteosarcoma. The composition can be used to treat and / or diagnose pigmented villonodular synovitis.
[0174] In some embodiments, the method can be used to treat and / or diagnose hematologic malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, primary myelofibrosis, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, monoclonal gammaglobulinosis, plasma cell myeloma, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, lymphoproliferative disorder (NOS), T-cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, plasmacytoma, Burkitt lymphoma, T-cell leukemia, hairy cell leukemia, precursor T-lymphoblastic leukemia, nodular predominantly Hodgkin lymphoma, and others.
[0175] The compositions disclosed herein can be used to treat and / or diagnose a condition or disease in a subject who is readily treatable or diagnosable by administration of a payload (e.g., a parent drug (i.e., the drug prior to conjugation with the composition)). “Treatment” means at least achieving improvement in symptoms associated with a condition troubling the subject, where improvement is broadly defined as at least a reduction in the magnitude of parameters (e.g., symptoms) associated with the treated condition. Thus, treatment also includes the complete suppression (e.g., prevention of occurrence) or cessation (e.g., termination) of the pathological condition or at least the symptoms associated with it, such that the subject no longer suffers from the condition or at least no longer suffers from the symptoms characterizing the condition. Treatment may include suppression, i.e., preventing the development or further development of clinical symptoms, such as alleviating or completely suppressing active disease. Treatment may include remission, i.e., causing the disappearance of clinical symptoms. For example, in the context of cancer, the term “treatment” includes any or all of the following: reducing the growth of a solid tumor, inhibiting the replication of cancer cells, reducing the overall tumor burden, prolonging survival, and improving one or more symptoms associated with cancer.
[0176] Subjects to be treated can be subjects in need of therapy, wherein the subjects to be treated are suitable for treatment with the parent drug. Therefore, a variety of subjects can be treated using the compositions disclosed herein. Generally, such subjects are “mammals,” with humans being of interest. Other subjects may include domestic pets (e.g., dogs and cats), livestock (e.g., cattle, pigs, goats, horses, etc.), rodents (e.g., mice, guinea pigs, and rats, e.g., as in animal models of disease), and non-human primates (e.g., chimpanzees and monkeys).
[0177] In some embodiments, additional therapeutic agents and methods may be used to treat, prevent, and / or diagnose solid tumors, including but not limited to melanoma (e.g., unresectable metastatic melanoma), renal cell carcinoma (e.g., renal cell carcinoma), prostate cancer (e.g., metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer), ovarian cancer (e.g., epithelial ovarian cancer, such as metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer), endometrial cancer, breast cancer (e.g., triple-negative breast cancer), glioblastoma (e.g., glioblastoma multiforme), and lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer), soft tissue sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, head / neck squamous cell carcinoma, anal / vulvar cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, cervical cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, Wilms' tumor / neuroblastoma, bladder cancer, thyroid adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, prostate adenocarcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, etc. The disclosed methods are well-suited as adjuvant / neoadjuvant systems. For example, particles as disclosed herein can be placed during a biopsy, and once the results are obtained, the practitioner can deliver an appropriate mixture to the desired site in the body. This will minimize the size of the tumor, especially in the context of a tumor that can be surgically removed. Then, at the end of the surgery, the surgeon can administer additional targeted portions to the subject to target the surgical cavity and treat the patient with further therapeutic doses (e.g., chemotherapy performed using the disclosed methods), thereby minimizing the risk of any cancer cells remaining at the surgical margin.
[0178] In some embodiments, the targeted portions disclosed herein may be administered, and the practitioner may deliver an appropriate mixture to the desired site in the body. This will minimize the size of the tumor, particularly in the context of a tumor that can be surgically removed. Then, at the end of the surgery, the surgeon may administer additional targeted portions to the subject to target the surgical cavity and treat the patient with further therapeutic doses (e.g., chemotherapy performed using the disclosed methods), thereby minimizing the risk of any cancer cells remaining at the surgical margins.
[0179] In some embodiments, the disclosed method provides the ability to place particles as disclosed herein during a biopsy. When the results are returned, the practitioner can deliver the immunomodulator to the biopsy site.
[0180] In some embodiments, the disclosed methods provide practitioners with the ability to deliver immunomodulatory agents, such as TLR agonists, STING agonists, chemokines (agents that attract cancer cells and / or immune cells), and adjuvants, to enhance the immune system and reduce side effects, as well as chemotherapeutic agents in combination with immunotherapeutic agents. This combination approach is beneficial to patients. Chemotherapy drugs can treat solid tumors or specific sites, while the enhanced response to immunotherapy can help treat distant metastatic sites. For example, in some embodiments, the disclosed compositions and methods can be employed or used in conjunction with anthracyclines, taxanes, gemcitabine, and other agents to enhance the efficacy of one or more immunomodulatory agents, such as ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and avelumab (also known as MSB0010718C; Pfizer).
[0181] cancer The disclosed methods can be used to treat or prevent cancer, including metastatic cancer. Cancer is a group of related diseases that may include persistent proliferative signaling, evasion of growth inhibitors, resistance to cell death, replication immortality, induction of angiogenesis, and activation of invasion and metastasis. The disclosed methods can enhance or induce an immune response against cancer in a subject. The immune response may result in an increase in one or more of the following: leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils.
[0182] Cancers that can be treated using the disclosed methods include, but are not limited to, astrocytoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, appendix cancer, basal cell carcinoma, bile duct cancer, bladder cancer, bone cancer, brain cancer, brainstem cancer, brainstem glioma, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, diffuse endogenous pontine glioma, ductal carcinoma, endometrial cancer, ependymoma, Ewing sarcoma, esophageal cancer, ocular cancer, fibrosarcoma, gallbladder cancer, gastric cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, germ cell tumors, gliomas, hepatocellular carcinoma, histiocytosis, Hodgkin's lymphoma, hypopharyngeal cancer, intraocular melanoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, kidney cancer, laryngeal cancer, leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, macroglobulinemia, melanoma, and interstitial lung cancer.

[0183] In some embodiments, the cancers treatable by the disclosed methods are melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, glioma, lung cancer, soft tissue cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, or pancreatic cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a solid tumor. In some embodiments, the cancer is a soft tissue cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a fibrosarcoma. In some embodiments, the cancer is a diffuse entropional glioma. In some embodiments, the cancer is a metastatic cancer.
[0184] In some embodiments, the cancers that can be treated by the disclosed methods are hematologic malignancies, such as myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, primary myelofibrosis, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, monoclonal globulinosis, plasma cell myeloma, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, lymphoproliferative disorder (NOS), T-cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, plasmacytoma, Burkitt lymphoma, T-cell leukemia, hairy cell leukemia, precursor T-lymphoblastic leukemia, nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, and other cancers.
[0185] Unbound by any particular theory, the local release of certain anticancer agents using the compounds and methods disclosed herein can induce or promote immunogenic cell death (ICD). For example, certain anticancer agents (e.g., anthracyclines, cyclophosphamide, oxaliplatin) have been reported to induce ICD. Kroemer et al. Annu. Rev. Immunol. 2013 (31), 51-72. Immunogenic apoptosis of cancer cells can induce a potent antitumor immune response by activating dendritic cells (DCs) and subsequently activating specific T cell responses. ICD is characterized by secretory damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Calreticulin (CRT) is one of the DAMP molecules, normally located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen, which translocates to the surface of dying cells after inducing immunogenic apoptosis, where it acts as a “eat me” signal for specialized phagocytes. Other important surface-exposed DAMPs are heat shock proteins (HSPs), namely HSP70 and HSP90, which also translocate to the plasma membrane under stress conditions. On cell surfaces, they have immunostimulatory effects based on their interactions with many antigen-presenting cell (APC) surface receptors, such as CD91 and CD40, and also promote the cross-presentation of tumor cell-derived antigens on MHC class I molecules, leading to CD8+ T cell responses. Other important DAMPs (characteristics of ICD) are secreted amphipathic protein (HMGB1) and ATP. HMGB1 is considered a marker of late apoptosis, and its release into the extracellular space appears to be essential for the optimal release and presentation of tumor antigens to dendritic cells. It binds to several pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 2 and 4 expressed on APCs. Recently, it has been found that the DAMP released during immunogenic cell death is ATP, which acts as a “find me” signal for monocytes upon secretion and induces them to be attracted to apoptotic sites. Kroemer et al. Curr. Op. Immunol. 2008 (20), 504-511.
[0186] Therefore, the local release of ICD inducers using the compounds and methods of this disclosure can be advantageously combined with one or more immunomodulators.
[0187] In some embodiments, the targeting portion may be used to treat, prevent, and / or diagnose solid tumors, including but not limited to melanoma (e.g., unresectable metastatic melanoma), renal cell carcinoma (e.g., renal cell carcinoma), prostate cancer (e.g., metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer), ovarian cancer (e.g., epithelial ovarian cancer, such as metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer), breast cancer (e.g., triple-negative breast cancer), glioblastoma (e.g., glioblastoma multiforme), and lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer), soft tissue sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, etc.
[0188] The disclosed methods are well-suited as adjuvant / neoadjuvant systems. For example, a targeted portion, as disclosed herein, can be placed during a biopsy, and once the results are available, a physician can administer an appropriate mixture to deliver treatment to the desired site in the body (such as the compounds disclosed herein and one or more optional additional therapeutic agents). Biopsy results can indicate the amount and type of treatment delivered to the tumor site. For example, chemokines (agents that attract cancer cells and / or immune cells) and adjuvants can be delivered and combined with chemotherapeutic agents to enhance the immune system with fewer side effects.
[0189] The disclosed methods can be used to deliver functionalized payloads to these sites via whole-body or local administration. In some embodiments, the target portion is delivered whole-body. In some embodiments, both the target portion and the payload-TCO conjugate are delivered whole-body.
[0190] The disclosed compounds and compositions can be administered prior to surgical resection. The disclosed methods can minimize tumor size prior to surgical resection. This minimizes tumor size, particularly in the context of tumors that are surgically resectable. The disclosed conjugates, compounds, and compositions can be administered during surgical resection. The disclosed conjugates, compounds, and compositions can be administered after surgical resection. Targeted portions can be placed around the surgical cavity at the end of surgical resection, and the subject can then be treated with further therapeutic doses to minimize the risk of any residual cancer cells at the surgical margins.
[0191] The functionalized payloads disclosed herein can act as adjuvants. This combination approach is beneficial to patients. Chemotherapy agents can treat solid tumors or specific sites and may enhance or elicit an immune response, while the enhanced response of functionalized payloads and / or immunotherapy with a single agent may help treat distant metastatic sites. For example, in some embodiments, the disclosed compositions and methods can be employed or used in conjunction with anthracyclines, regoxetine, vinca alkaloids, taxanes, gemcitabine, camptothecin analogs, and other agents to enhance ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, avelumab (also known as MSB0010718C; Pfizer).
[0192] The disclosed method can be used to treat diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). DIPG is a brainstem tumor in children that can be highly malignant and difficult to treat. There is no known curative treatment for DIPG, and survival rates have remained low over the past four decades. The median overall survival for DIPG patients is only 11 months, with a two-year survival rate of less than 10%. DIPG accounts for 75-80% of childhood brainstem tumors, affecting approximately 200-300 children annually in the United States. The rarity of this devastating disease and the previous lack of systematic experimental models have hampered research, and survival rates have remained unchanged over the past four decades. Diagnosis of DIPG can begin with clinical symptoms and can be confirmed by MRI. The disease may begin with systemic symptoms over several months, including behavioral changes and learning difficulties, diplopia, abnormal or limited eye movements, asymmetrical smiling, loss of balance, and weakness. Alternatively, severe neurological deterioration may occur much faster, with symptoms appearing less than a month before diagnosis. Clinical examination may reveal a triad of various cranial nerve disorders, long tract signs (such as hyperreflexia and clonic reflexes), and ataxia. Dilatation of the pons portion of the brainstem may cause obstructive hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure.
[0193] Cell nuclei, which are essential for life-sustaining functions such as breathing and heartbeat, are located in the pons, and breathing and heartbeat can be impaired by DIPG if left untreated.
[0194] In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein include both parenteral administration of the targeted portion and the payload-TCO conjugate. As used herein, the term "parenteral" refers to a mode of administration, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous, and intra-articular injection and infusion.

[0616] LCMS analysis method: According to the manufacturer's protocol, the test item is subjected to PNG enzyme F (IgG) and DTT or DTT (Fab) alone in RapiGest. The sample is diluted with water to 100 µg / mL and centrifuged at 16.1k RCF for 10 min at 4 °C. The sample is then analyzed by LCMS (LC-Q-TOF) and the mass spectrum is reconstructed based on the charge gradient.
[0617] Example 1: Synthesis of the targeting moiety of tetrazine-trastuzumab Trastuzumab (22.1 mg / mL, 1.1 mL) in 0.01 M PBS was mixed with 20 equivalents of methyltetrazine-PEG4-NHS (Clickchemtools #1069-10).
[0618] Methyltetraazine-PEG4-NHS The reactants were thoroughly mixed and aged at room temperature for 1 hour, during which the reaction was quenched by adding 1 volume of 0.1 M Tris buffer. The resulting solution was buffer-exchanged to 0.01 M PBS to remove excess reagents and buffer salts. The resulting targeted moiety solution (6.3 mg / mL, 1.6 mL) was analyzed by SDS-Page and LCMS (data not shown) to confirm the formation of the targeted moiety and thus for use in subsequent studies. Based on the analysis, it is hypothesized that up to 12 methyltetraazine-PEG4 units are covalently bonded to the antibody.
[0619] Example 2: Tetraazine-Fab Targeted Component Fab was prepared from trastuzumab using a commercial kit (Pierce™ Fab Preparation Kit #44985) according to the manufacturer's protocol and purified using protein G resin (BioVision #6511-25). The purified Fab in 0.01 M PBS was mixed with 20 equivalents of methyltetrazine-PEG4-NHS (Clickchemtools #1069-10). The reaction mixture was thoroughly mixed and aged at room temperature for 1 hour, at which point the reaction was quenched by adding 1 volume of 0.1 M Tris buffer. The resulting solution was buffer-exchanged to 0.01 M PBS to remove excess reagents and buffer salts. The resulting target moiety solution (1.0 mg / mL, 10.3 mL) was analyzed by SDS-Page and LCMS (data not shown) to confirm the formation of the target moiety and thus for subsequent studies. Based on the analysis, it is hypothesized that up to approximately six methyltetrazine-PEG4 units are covalently bonded to Fab.

The antibody was prepared in PBS buffer (10 mg, 0.5 mg / mL) at pH 7.4. The pretreated papain was mixed with the antibody at a (1:100) molar ratio and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. The digestion mixture was loaded onto an anti-CH1 affinity column, washed with 25 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0, and eluted with 50 mM sodium citrate, 150 mM NaCl, pH 3.0. The filtrate containing the Fab product was dialyzed into PBS. The purified Fab was concentrated to 0.2 mg / mL in PBS. Fab was mixed with Me-Tet-PEG9-NHS (prepared in 10 mM DMSO) at a 3:1 molar ratio and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. The conjugate was analyzed by LCMS and the DAR was calculated to be 2.66.
[0621] Example 4: Tetraazine-Fab Targeted Component Fab was prepared from brentuximab using the following method. 0.1 mg of papain was pretreated with 1 mM DTT and 2 mM EDTA at a concentration of 0.5 mg / mL and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The antibody was prepared in PBS buffer (10 mg, 0.5 mg / mL) at pH 7.4. The pretreated papain was mixed with the antibody at a (1:100) molar ratio and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. The digestion mixture was loaded onto an anti-CH1 affinity column, washed with 25 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8.0, and eluted with 50 mM sodium citrate, 150 mM NaCl, pH 3.0. The filtrate containing the Fab product was dialyzed into PBS. The purified Fab was concentrated in PBS to a concentration of 0.2 mg / mL. Fab was mixed with Me-Tet-PEG9-NHS (prepared in 10 mM DMSO) at a molar ratio of 3:1 and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. The resulting conjugate was analyzed by LCMS and the calculated DAR was 4.57.
[0622] Example 5A: Tetraazine-Fab Target Component Fab was prepared from sacitrus bacillus using a commercial kit (Pierce™ Fab Preparation Kit #44985) according to the manufacturer's protocol, and purified using protein G resin (BioVision #6511-25). Purified Fab 10 mM Me-Tet-PEG9-NHS was prepared in DMSO. The two components were reacted at 25°C for 2 hours at a drug-to-protein molar ratio of 3:1, followed by dialyzing with PBS (pH 7.4) to remove excess Me-Tet-PEG9-NHS compound from the protein fraction. The resulting targeted moiety solution was analyzed by SDS-Page and LCMS to confirm the formation of the targeted moiety. It was assumed that approximately two methyltetraazines were covalently bonded to each Fab, as confirmed by LCMS.

[0626] Formation of sacitrulline Fab-tetraazine conjugate The coding sequences for the heavy and light chain variable regions of sacitrus (human anti-TROP2) antibody were used to generate a construct expressing TROP2 Fab. The coding sequences were synthesized and subcloned into the PCDN3.4 expression vector. The constructed plasmid was transformed into... E. coliThe plasmids were proliferated and amplified. The purified plasmids were confirmed by sequencing. The constructs containing the heavy and light chains of TROP2 Fab were transfected into HEK293 cells (suspension) using a polymeric polyethyleneimine (PEI) reagent. The culture medium was harvested 6–7 days post-transfection. The TROP2 Fab-containing medium was centrifuged, filtered, and then loaded onto a KappaSelect affinity column (Mabselect Prism). The loading buffer was 25 mM Tris containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 8.0), and eluted with 100 mM sodium citrate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 2.5). The collected solution was neutralized with 1 M arginine and 400 mM succinate buffer (pH 9.0). The affinity-purified proteins were further purified by gel filtration (using a Superdex S-200 5 / 150GL column chromatography). The samples were eluted with 2X PBS (pH 7.4) as the mobile phase. The purified TROP2 Fab was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and SEC-HPLC.
[0627] Tetraazine conjugation of TROP2 Fab: The TROP2 Fab buffer was replaced with PBS (pH 7.4) overnight. Methyltetraazine-PEG9-NHS (SiChem #SC-8808) was dissolved in DMSO to prepare a 10 mM stock solution. For conjugation, the two components were reacted at 25°C for 2 hours at a molar ratio of 3:1 (methyltetraazine-PEG9-NHS to TROP2 Fab). The amount of Fab used for tetraazine conjugation varied between 30 mg and 100 mg, but the 3:1 ratio was maintained throughout the conjugation procedure. The solution buffer was then replaced with PBS (pH 7.4) to remove excess methyltetraazine-PEG9-NHS and buffer salts.
[0628] Characterization of sacitrulline Fab-Tz conjugate (compound TM-2):The prepared Fab-Tz conjugate samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Q Exactive HF-X LC-MS (Thermo Scientific) equipped with an AcquityUPLC protein BEH C4 column (300A, 1.7 µm, 2.1 x 50 mm) to confirm conjugate formation and determine the tetrazine to antibody ratio. HPLC-SEC analysis was performed using an UltiMate 3000 HPLC (Thermo Scientific) equipped with an Xbridge BEH 200A SEC column (7.8 x 300 mm, Waters Corp). Proteins were eluted with PBS containing 15% isopropanol (pH 7.4). Size exclusion chromatograms showed that the Fab-tetrazine conjugates were 99% monomeric with minimal aggregation (1.0%). The tetrazine to antibody ratio was calculated to be 2.3.

[0634] Generation of HER2 Fab The coding sequences for the heavy and light chain variable regions of trastuzumab (human anti-HER2) antibody were used to generate a construct expressing HER2 Fab. The coding sequences were synthesized and subcloned into the PCDN3.4 expression vector. The constructed plasmid was transformed into... E. coliThe plasmids were proliferated and amplified. The purified plasmids were confirmed by sequencing. The heavy and light chain constructs containing HER2 Fab were transfected into HEK293 cells (suspension) using a polymeric polyethyleneimine (PEI) reagent. Six to seven days post-transfection, 6 liters of culture medium were harvested. The HER2 Fab-containing medium was centrifuged, filtered, and then loaded onto a KappaSelect affinity column (Mabselect Prism). The loading buffer was 25 mM Tris containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 8.0), and eluted with 100 mM sodium citrate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 2.5). The collected solution was neutralized with 1 M arginine and 400 mM succinate buffer (pH 9.0). The affinity-purified proteins were further purified by gel filtration (using a Superdex S-200 5 / 150GL column chromatography). The sample injection volume was 20 mL, the flow rate was 0.3 mL / min, and the mobile phase was 2X PBS (pH 7.4). The purified HER2 Fab was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and SEC-HPLC. The final yield was 742 mg, and the purified product was stored at -80°C for long-term storage.
[0635] Generation of the same type of Fab: The coding sequence was synthesized and subcloned into the pTT5 expression vector. The constructed plasmid was then transformed into... E. coli The plasmids were proliferated and amplified. The purified plasmids were confirmed by sequencing. The constructs containing the heavy and light chains of the isotype Fab were transfected into HEK293 cells (suspension) using a polymeric polyethyleneimine (PEI) reagent. Two liters of culture medium were harvested 7 days post-transfection. The culture medium containing the isotype Fab was centrifuged, filtered, and then loaded onto a KappaSelect affinity column (Mabselect Prism). The loading buffer was 25 mM Tris containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 8.0), and eluted with 50 mM sodium citrate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 3). The collected solution was neutralized with 1 M arginine and 400 mM succinate buffer (pH 9.0). The affinity-purified proteins were further purified by gel filtration (using a Superdex S-200 5 / 150GL column chromatography). The sample injection volume was 3 mL, the flow rate was 0.3 mL / min, and the mobile phase was 2X PBS (pH 7.4). The purified isoform Fab was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and SEC-HPLC. The final yield was 200 mg and the purified product was stored at -80°C for long-term storage.
[0636] Tetraazine conjugation of HER2 Fab and homologous Fab:The HER2 Fab and isotype Fab buffer were replaced with PBS (pH 7.4) overnight. Methyltetraazine-PEG9-NHS (SiChem #SC-8808) was dissolved in DMSO to prepare a 10 mM stock solution. For conjugation, the two components were reacted at 25°C for 2 hours at a 3:1 molar ratio (methyltetraazine-PEG9-NHS to HER2 Fab). The amount of Fab used for tetraazine conjugation varied between 30 mg and 100 mg, but the 3:1 ratio was maintained throughout the conjugation procedure. The solution buffer was then replaced with PBS (pH 7.4) to remove excess methyltetraazine-PEG9-NHS and buffer salts.
[0637] Methyltetraazine-PEG9-NHS Characterization of compound TM-1 and its isotype Fab-Tz: Samples of the prepared compound TM-1 or isoform Fab-Tz conjugates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Q Exactive HF-X LC-MS (Thermo Scientific) equipped with an Acquity UPLC protein BEHC4 column (300A, 1.7 µm, 2.1 x 50 mm) to confirm the formation of compound TM-1 and determine the tetrazine to antibody ratio. HPLC-SEC analysis was performed using an UltiMate 3000 HPLC (Thermo Scientific) equipped with an xBridge BEH 200A SEC column (7.8 x 300 mm, Waters Corp). Proteins were eluted with PBS containing 15% isopropanol (pH 7.4). Size exclusion chromatograms of compounds TM-1 and isoform Fab-Tz showed that >97% of the Fab-tetrazine conjugates were monomeric and exhibited minimal aggregation (≤3.0%). The ratio of tetrazine to antibody in compound TM-1 was calculated to be 2.2, and the ratio of tetrazine to antibody in isotype Fab-Tz was calculated to be 1.8.
[0638] Flow cytometry analysis of compound TM-1 and isotype Fab-Tz:Cell binding assays using NCI-N87 (HER2-positive) cells were performed by flow cytometry, with unconjugated HER2 Fab, compound TM-1, or isotype Fab-Tz controls as controls. NCI-N87 (HER2-positive) human gastric cancer cells were collected by centrifugation and resuspended in FACS buffer (PBS containing 2% FBS, pH 7.4). Cells were seeded into 96-well plates (200,000 cells per well) and centrifuged at 400 xg for 5 min. The supernatant was removed, and cells were incubated at 4°C for 1 h with a 10-fold titration starting at 400 nM of compound TM-1, unconjugated HER2 Fab, or isotype control (IgG). For isotype Fab-Tz cell binding assays, a 3-fold titration starting at 300 nM was performed. Centrifuge the plate, wash three times with FACS buffer, and resuspend in 100 mL of secondary antibody containing goat anti-human IgG Alexa 488 (catalog number #A-11013, Thermo Fisher Scientific, 1:500 dilution) or goat anti-human (Fab')2 fragment specific (109-116-097, Jackson Immunoresearch, PA, USA, 1:200 dilution) and incubate in the dark at 4°C for 1 hour. Remove the supernatant, wash the cells twice with PBS, and analyze using a CytoFLEX flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA) or Attune NxT (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA). Calculate the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) value and plot it against antibody concentration. The binding of compound TM-1 to HER2-positive cells was observed to be comparable to that of unconjugated HER2 Fab, and no binding to isotype Fab-Tz was detected.
