Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of biomedical technology and prodrug design for pharmaceutical formulations, and relates to a cleavable linker compound, its preparation, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Many low-molecular-weight drugs used as chemotherapy agents face limitations in disease treatment due to their physicochemical properties. For example, they may be metabolized too quickly in the body or fail to accumulate accurately in diseased tissues, both of which can reduce therapeutic efficacy. To address these issues, research into drug delivery systems has been actively pursued. Currently, drug delivery systems have seen significant advancements. For instance, semaglutide binds to albumin via its side chain, extending its half-life in vivo to one week, thus greatly reducing the frequency of drug administration. Drug delivery technologies are even more widely used in the anti-tumor field, with the development of small molecule-drug conjugates (SMDCs), peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs), and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
[0003] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are the most representative category of targeted anticancer agents in drug delivery systems. They aim to effectively release antibody-bound drugs into cancer cells through the selective binding between antigens and antibodies. Currently, the most popular ADC drug globally is trastuzumab deruxtecan, developed by Daiichi Sankyo. It is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting HER2, conjugated with the supplemental isomerase inhibitor Dxd. It received FDA approval in 2019 and 2022, respectively, and achieved sales of $2.5 billion in 2023. Currently, there are hundreds of ADCs in clinical trials.
[0004] In the field of modern pharmaceuticals, a considerable number of drugs contain hydroxyl groups. However, many hydroxyl compounds suffer from problems such as poor water solubility, rapid drug metabolism, and lack of targeting due to their inherent properties, leading to difficulties in administration, unsatisfactory efficacy, and significant side effects. Therefore, modifying these drugs to increase their targeting, solubility, stability, and improve their clinical suitability has become a major challenge in drug development. The novel linker of this invention, which simultaneously provides a trigger, a linker site for modifying side chains, and enables self-cleavage under specific conditions to release the active drug, represents one approach to solving this problem.
[0005] Glucuronate prodrugs are selectively activated by β-glucuronidase, an enzyme that is almost absent in the blood but highly expressed in the microenvironment of many solid tumors, including lung cancer, breast cancer, and gastrointestinal cancers. This enzyme has been used for drug delivery around tumors for the past two decades. Regarding conjugate-drugs containing β-glucuronide hydrolyzed by this enzyme, the drug is almost not released into the bloodstream but is selectively released into target cancer cells. In particular, β-glucuronide linkers are more hydrophilic than peptide linkers, thus having a significant advantage in improving the physical properties of conjugates and are widely used in the preparation of antibody-drug conjugates. Galactose prodrugs are selectively activated by β-galactosidase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes β-galactosidic bonds and exists as a protein in lysosomes within cells. Because this enzyme forms an active dimer only at low pH and exists as an inactive monomer at physiological pH 7.4, introducing novel β-galactosidase linkers can also significantly reduce the risk of drug release during in vivo circulation. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to propose a general formula compound for a cleavable linker used in prodrug delivery systems, and compounds synthesized by combining it with antibodies, albumins, proteins, peptides, and various small molecules with targeting effects, as well as its preparation method and applications, including its application in prodrug delivery systems. This invention proposes a novel approach to trigger drug release via β-glucuronidase or β-galactosidase. Specifically, the linker compound of this invention, applicable to prodrug delivery systems, releases the corresponding active drug through a self-closing ring process after glycosidic bond hydrolysis by β-glucuronidase or β-galactosidase to form a hydroxyl group.
[0007] This invention proposes a cleavable linker compound for use in prodrug delivery systems. This compound has one or more independently modifiable sites, allowing for the combination of different triggers, modified side chains, and / or active pharmaceutical ingredients to form a novel compound. The structure of the cleavable linker compound is shown in formula (1-1).
