Claims 7 / 7 Page 8 CN 121752295 A Cross-Reference to Related Applications Regarding Oxazine Antibody-Drug Conjugates and Methods of Use
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 524,400, filed June 30, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention generally relates to cancer treatment. Specifically, the present invention relates to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for cancer immunotherapy. Background Art
[0003] Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a recognized target in a variety of malignant tumors. Tumors that overexpress or amplify HER2 (e.g., breast cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal and gastric cancer, biliary tract cancer, salivary gland cancer) and tumors with HER2 mutations (e.g., NSCLC and more than 20 other tumor types) Raghav KPS and Moasser MM, Clin Cancer Res . 2023 July 05; 29(13): 2351–2361 . doi:10.1158 / 1078-0432.CCR-22-0283. The most prominent HER2-targeting antibodies and adjuvants (ADCs) are trastuzumab, trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd), and trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), which are the standard of care for HER2-positive breast and other tumor types, as well as HER2-mutant tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite the efficacy of ADCs, many patients develop resistance. For example, resistance to T-DXd can occur, and the most common cause appears to be resistance to topoisomerase inhibitor payloads, as HER2 expression loss occurs only in a minority of resistant cases. Another approved ADC using a topoisomerase inhibitor is sacituzumab govitecan, used to treat cancers with overexpression of trophoblast surface antigen 2 (TROP2), such as breast and bladder cancer. TROP2 is also expressed in a variety of malignant tumors, such as cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, gastric cancer, brain cancer, esophageal cancer, head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, and endometrial cancer. Part of the reason for resistance to goxatozumab is resistance to topoisomerase inhibitor payloads. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop ADCs targeting HER2 and TROP2 using alternative payloads. This invention describes the use of oxazine.(oxazaphosphorine) as an alternative potent drug payload to generate new ADCs. Summary of the Invention

[0107] Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, nearly one-sixth of all deaths. According to the American Cancer Society, by 2040, population growth and aging alone will lead to 27.5 million new cancer cases and 16.3 million cancer deaths globally.
[0108] Advances in novel cancer therapies, such as targeted chemotherapy, immunotherapies (such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)), cell therapies, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), have revolutionized cancer treatment and improved patient survival. However, given the still high mortality rates, the fact that most patients do not respond to existing treatments or develop resistance, and the inability to tolerate treatment due to toxicity, there is a need to develop newer therapies.
[0109] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are targeted chemotherapy molecules that combine the properties of antibodies and cytotoxic drugs to deliver the toxic agent to tumor cells expressing antigens. They are typically designed to bind to target cancer cells, and the release of the toxic agent may require internalization. Drug release occurs inside cancer cells after cleavage by enzymes or low-pH linkers. Alternatively, for non-internalized ADCs, the toxic agent is released via cleavage by low-oxygen or low-pH linkers within the tumor microenvironment (TME).
[0110] To date, clinically used ADCs consist of targeting monoclonal antibodies linked to highly toxic agents such as chalcogenide, auristatin, maytansinoids, or pyrrolobenzodiazepines. These agents produce cytotoxicity at extremely low (nanomolar or picomolar) concentrations. Upon delivery to the tumor, these highly toxic agents...The payload can re-enter circulation and distribute to other organs, where it can cause severe toxicities such as cardiotoxicity, neutropenia, anemia, fatigue, diarrhea, neurotoxicity, blindness, nephrotoxicity, or even death. Therefore, these ADCs are labeled with a “black box” warning. A black box warning is the most severe warning the FDA can issue for prescription drugs because such drugs can be fatal, life-threatening, or cause disabling adverse effects in patients. This means that such drugs must be restricted and closely monitored during and after administration. The effectiveness of immunotherapy depends on conditions within the TME, including the dominance of immunosuppressive cells. Poor prognosis is associated with increased infiltration of immunosuppressive cells within the TME.
[0111] A current challenge in cancer immunotherapy is that immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) within the TME are a major obstacle to developing effective immunotherapies for cancer patients. Current methods for depleting Tregs lack distribution specificity because they also deplete circulating Tregs, disrupting systemic immune homeostasis and leading to autoimmunity, systemic inflammation, and off-target toxicity. This disclosure describes a method for selectively depleting Tregs within the tumor microenvironment (TME) using an ADC, which delivers oxazine directly into the TME without disrupting systemic Treg immune homeostasis. It is known that oxazine metabolites induce antitumor immunity through selective cytotoxicity against Tregs (Eid RA et al, 2016, Cancer Immunol Res; 4(5); 377–82. doi: 10.1158 / 2326-6066.CIR-16-0048; Traverso I et al. Human Immunology 73 (2012) 207-213 , doi:10.1016 / j.humimm .2011 .12.020; Voelcker G 2018, Anti- Cancer Drugs 29:411–415; Heylmann D, Bauer M, Becker H, van Gool S, Bacher N, et al. (2013) ,PLoS ONE 8(12): e83384. (doi:10.1371 / journal.pone.0083384). The ADC targets and binds to cancer cells to release a therapeutic oxazine payload, which depletes Tregs within the TME. The dual killing effect of cancer cells and Tregs triggers immune memory, thereby prolonging anti-tumor immunity. By increasing the local delivery of the therapeutic payload within the TME, the therapeutic index is improved to minimize systemic toxicity and reactivate exhausted T cells to overcome immunotherapy resistance.
[0112] This invention describes an ADC with a safety profile superior to approved ADCs because the drug payload used is not supertoxic and drug-resistant cancer cells respond to the aforementioned oxazine payload. This invention relates to ADCs comprising tumor-targeting antibodies or antibody fragments conjugated to an oxazine payload via a linker. ADCs comprising antibodies conjugated to active oxazine have not previously been developed.
[0113] Oxazine includes, but is not limited to, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, and trefophosphamide. Oxazine derivatives include, but are not limited to, malphosphamide, glucosfamide, β-D-glucosylisophosphamide nitrogen mustard, aldehydephosphamide perhydrothiazide, and aldehydephosphamide thiazolidinyl. Cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide are prodrugs that require hepatic cytochrome P450 activation. Zhang, et al. (2005) Drug Metabolism Reviews, 37:4, 611-703. 4-Hydroxycyclophosphamide is the major metabolite of cyclophosphamide. Figure 8 illustrates the structure and biotransformation pathway of oxazine, from Anderson et al., Cancer Control: Journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center, January 2008.
[0114] Oxazines are alkylating agents that have been used for decades in routine clinical treatment of cancer. They are prodrugs that require bioactivation of cytochrome p450 in the liver to generate 4-hydroxy derivatives, which are then transported to the tumor via the bloodstream. They possess tumor-killing and immunostimulatory properties. They kill cancer cells directly by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD). Their antitumor immunostimulatory properties occur because they selectively kill immunosuppressive cells, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), thereby reactivating and proliferating tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, and macrophages, which help kill cancer cells. The antibody portion of the ADC can also directly kill cancer cells after binding to the tumor. Local delivery and release of oxazine payloads within the tumor reduces systemic exposure, which is crucial for minimizing or reducing systemic toxicity and improving patient safety and tolerability. ADCs can also be combined with established standard treatments, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, gene therapy, or cell therapy, to maximize patient benefit.
[0115] Unlike previous ADCs that required highly potent and toxic drug payloads, low doses (concentrations) of oxazine are sufficient to exert their immunomodulatory effects. For example, it is well known that regular (rhythmic) administration of low doses of cyclophosphamide to patients is sufficient to stimulate the immune system by depleting or reducing immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs). However, due to the fact that oral or systemic administration can...This leads to drug distribution and exposure to normal tissues in the body, thus systemic toxicity can still occur. Based on decades of clinical experience, any toxicity of oxazine is predictable and manageable compared to the potent payloads used in other ADCs.
[0116] Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have also revolutionized cancer treatment. However, only 15–25% of patients respond to ICI therapy, and a large proportion experience systemic immune-related toxicities such as autoimmune diseases, cardiopulmonary complications, and most eventually develop resistance. Oxazine chemotherapeutic agents, such as cyclophosphamide, can serve as effective partners to immune checkpoint inhibitors because they can synergistically enhance antitumor immunity (George M et al., Cancer Manual 11 / 24 pages 19 CN 121752295 A Res (2022) 82 (12_Supplement): 4167. https: / / doi.org / 10.1158 / 1538-7445.AM2022-4167). In a mouse melanoma model, the combined use of cyclophosphamide with anti-CTLA-4 or anti-PD-1 antibodies demonstrated potent tumor control. Clinically, the combination of the ifosfamide derivative evaphosphamide with the anti-CTLA-4 ipilimumab showed good clinical activity in 15 of 22 patients, but drug-related toxicities were relatively common (Hegde A, Jayaprakash P, Couillault CA, Piha-Paul S, Karp D, Rodon J, et al., Clin Cancer Res 2021; 27:3050–60). These results suggest that while oxazine achieves synergistic effects when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, dose-limiting toxicities from systemic exposure can be mitigated by confining drug action to the tumor microenvironment. The main mechanism leading to cancer resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is the infiltration of immunosuppressive cells, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), into the tumor microenvironment (TME). Treg cells are a subset of CD4-positive T cells that play a central role in suppressing antitumor immunity by helping tumor cells evade immune surveillance (Lee, G.R., Phenotypic and functional properties of tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells. Mediators Inflamm. 2017. 2017: 5458178.). They are the main immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), accounting for 10-50% of CD4 T cells in human tumors.(Togashi, Y., Shitara, K. and Nishikawa, H., Regulatory T cells in cancer immunosuppression–implications for anticancer therapy. Nat. Rev. Clin. Oncol. 2019. 16: 356–371). In fact, the high frequency of invasive Tregs in the TME is associated with poor prognosis and low survival in many types of solid tumors, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, skin cancer, brain cancer, and head and neck cancer (Tanaka, A.; Sakaguchi, S. Regulatory T Cells in Cancer Immunotherapy. Cell Res. 2017, 27, 109–118; Ménétrier-Caux, C.; Curiel, T.; Faget, J.; Manuel, M.; Caux, C.; Zou, W. Targeting Regulatory T Cells. Target. Oncol. 2012, 7, 15–28; Revilla SA et al., Colorectal Cancer-Infiltrating Regulatory T-Cells, Frontiers in Immunology 2022, 13: https: / / doi.org / 10.3389 / fimmu.2022.903564. Based on the crucial role of Tregs in suppressing anti-tumor immune responses, blocking their function and / or depleting them has become a viable strategy for enhancing or stimulating anti-tumor immunity (Dees et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 2021. 51: 280–291). Several other approaches are currently being developed, including Treg cell depletion, inhibition of their activity, inhibition of their recruitment, and prevention of their differentiation within the tumor microenvironment (TME). The main challenge currently is how to specifically target Treg cells in tumor sites without affecting circulating Tregs. Avoiding the depletion of circulating Tregs is crucial because they play a key role in maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing the immune system from damaging its own tissues. Depletion or inhibition of circulating Tregs can lead to unwanted immune-related side effects such as autoimmunity or inflammation (Revilla SA et al.,Colorectal Cancer-Infiltrating Regulatory T-Cells, Frontiers in Immunology 2022, 13: https: / / doi.org / 10.3389 / fimmu.2022.903564). In fact, current treatments that deplete or interfere with the function of Tregs in the bloodstream can also lead to autoimmune and other immune-related toxicities. To date, there is no specific treatment that targets Tregs within the TME without affecting Tregs in the bloodstream.
[0117] Commonly used examples of oxazines are cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, and trefophosphamide. Trefophosphamide is mainly metabolized to ifosfamide, with a small amount metabolized to cyclophosphamide. Cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide are prodrugs that must be metabolized via the hepatic cytochrome p450 enzyme pathway to produce cytotoxic active metabolites (Figure 1). They undergo activation via 4-hydroxylation, followed by spontaneous degradation into the final active and inactive metabolites. Activation is primarily mediated by CYP2B6, leading to the formation of 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide, which is in equilibrium with the acyclic tautomers aldehydephosphamide and aldehyde isocyclophosphamide (Jeswani G and Paul SD, Recent Advances in the Delivery of Chemotherapeutic Agents. In Nano- and Microscale Drug Delivery Systems, 2017). These metabolites then enter the bloodstream and distribute throughout the body before reaching target cancer cells. Oxazine mustard and isophosphamide mustard are the final active antitumor metabolites of cyclophosphamide and isocyclophosphamide, respectively. Other byproducts of oxazine metabolism are acrolein and chloroacetaldehyde, which have known toxic effects (bladder bleeding, neurotoxicity, and urinary tract toxicity are the toxic effects of their precursors, and other dose-limiting toxicities include myelosuppression, cardiotoxicity, diarrhea, and fatigue). Oxazine mustard and isophosphamide mustard do not cause urinary tract toxicity or neurotoxicity because they do not contain acrolein or chloroacetaldehyde. Oxazine derivatives or analogs that do not require hepatic CYP enzyme bioactivation have also been synthesized. These include phosphatidylcholine, glucosfamide, palifosfamide, evaphosphatidylcholine, geranyloxy-isofosfamide, and their analogues or derivatives. Low doses of oxazine exhibit significant immunomodulatory activity, particularly in inhibiting or depleting regulatory T cells (Tregs), thereby counteracting immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment without affecting cytotoxic T cells or natural killer (NK) cells.
[0118] The method of directly delivering oxazine to the tumor microenvironment using ADCs can mitigate or significantly reduce systemic toxicity. Local delivery of the antibody portion of an ADC also contributes to the antitumor effect of the ADC. By engineering the Fc region, the optimal effector function of the antibody portion of the ADC can be improved to increase its cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. By engineering and modifying the Fc region, its affinity / affinity, antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) can be improved. Glycosylation engineering, such as defucosylation and amino acid mutation, can be used. Pharmacokinetic properties can also be improved by modifying the antibody to bind to the neonatal Fc receptor FcRn.
[0119] The theoretical basis for using oxazine as the payload in an ADC is based on existing literature reporting that oxazine has a synergistic effect with antibodies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, or vaccines after systemic administration. However, the toxicity of combined administration limits its use. For example, cyclophosphamide has been shown to have a survival synergistic effect when combined with mAbs such as rituximab (anti-CD20 mAb), trastuzumab (anti-HER2 mAb), cetuximab (anti-EGFR mAb), or alemtuzumab (anti-CD52 mAb) (Roghanian A et al 2019, Cancer Immunol Res 7:1876-90; Nickenig C et al 2006, Cancer 107:1014-22; Scott DW 2014, Nat Rev Cancer 14:517-34; Keating MJ et al 2005, J Clin Oncol 23:4079-88). Cyclophosphamide is also widely used in combination chemotherapy (as part of a combination with other chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of breast cancer, leukemia, multiple myeloma, ovarian cancer, lymphoma, etc.). While combination therapy offers synergistic benefits, it also presents dose-limiting toxicities and inconveniences. Combination therapy is time-consuming and inconvenient because each drug must be infused separately for an extended duration (2-4 hours per infusion), with rest periods required between infusions. This approach also reduces patient adherence. The advantage of using ADCs is that they combine two drugs in a single infusion, maximizing efficacy while minimizing systemic toxicity. ADCs can also be used in combination with other standard treatment therapies, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, gene therapy, cell therapy, oncolytic virus therapy, or vaccination.
[0120] The invention disclosed herein includes antibodies, adapters, and payloads. In embodiments, ADCs increase the tumor microenvironment...The accumulation of oxazine payload and reduction of systemic exposure and toxicity. In embodiments, the payload selectively depletes immunosuppressive cells, such as Tregs, within the tumor microenvironment; activates NK and effector T cells, reverses T cell exhaustion, and alters the function of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment to more effectively target cancer cells. The oxazine payload also induces immunogenic cell death (ICD) in cancer cells and generates tumor-specific antigens, thereby triggering durable tumor-specific immune responses.
[0121] The advantages of this disclosure include: applicability to solid tumors and hematologic malignancies; use of clinically validated combination therapies effective in cancer patients; novel immunomodulatory payloads and connectors; improved therapeutic index to eliminate or reduce systemic toxicity; convenient administration (one drug rather than two different administration routes); and reduced development timeline from discovery to clinical trials.
[0122] This method can be used as a monotherapy or in combination with standard treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy (including antibodies against immune checkpoint inhibitors), cell therapy, gene therapy, oncolytic virus therapy, or vaccines. In this context, “immunotherapy” refers to the administration of antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), etc., which bind to one or more proteins in the subject’s body, thereby affecting protein function and thus improving the subject’s cancer. Radiotherapy may involve focusing a beam of radiation onto the cancer site. Common radiotherapy regimens involve treatment once a week for 6–12 weeks.
[0123] Clinicians may select any one or a combination of these therapies based on one or more aspects of the subject’s cancer presentation, other aspects of the subject’s health, one or more demographic factors that may be medically significant, or one or more genetic markers of the subject. In embodiments, immunostimulatory antibody conjugates targeting proteins on cancer cells (such as HER2, EGFR, CD20, and TROP2) can be used to treat solid tumors or hematologic malignancies, including but not limited to colorectal cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, sarcoma or head and neck tumors, urothelial carcinoma, kidney cancer, brain cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, melanoma, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and HNSCC.
[0124] In embodiments, immunostimulatory ADCs include, but are not limited to, monospecific, bispecific, trispecific, or tetraspecific monoclonal antibodies.
[0125] Antibody-drug conjugates can be synthesized using a variety of methods. Yao et al., Int J Mol Sci. 2016 Feb; 17(2): 194.
[0126] The subject to be treated can be a mammal, such as a human, dog, cat, horse, or any other animal requiring cancer treatment.
[0127] In an embodiment, the drug can be attached to an antibody or antibody fragment using a linker. In an embodiment, the linker can be cleavable or non-cleavable. In an embodiment, the linker can be cleaved by a variety of methods, including proteolysis, reduction or hydrolysis, hypoxia or low pH.
[0128] In an embodiment, RTX5007, RTX5014, and RTX5015 are linker payloads.
[0129] In an embodiment, the synthesis of RTX5007 is carried out using the chemical methods illustrated in FIG. 10 and Example 2.
[0130] In an embodiment, the synthesis of RTX5014 is carried out using the chemical methods illustrated in FIG. 11 and Example 3.
[0131] In an embodiment, the synthesis of RTX5015 is carried out using the chemical methods illustrated in FIG. 12 and Example 4.
[0132] In an embodiment, the antibody-drug conjugate is Herceptin-RTX-5007. In an embodiment, Herceptin-RTX-5007 is prepared as in Example 5.
[0133] RTX-5007 conjugation amplified the reaction up to 7.4 mg, with Herceptin at 4.9 mg / mL.
[0134] Herceptin was reduced for 1.5 h at 37°C using 6 equivalents of 10 mM TCEP (29.4 µL). After reduction, 1 mM EDTA (from a 250 mM stock solution, 6.1 µL) was added to the protein. Before adding the payload, the buffer composition was adjusted to 10% DMA with an additional 150 µL of DMA. After adding the organic solvent, 15 equivalents of RTX-5007 (73.5 µL of 10 mM RTX-5007 in DMA) were added to the mAb. The mAb solution was mixed at room temperature for 1.5 h, and then the DAR was checked. After confirming the target DAR, 30 equivalents of 10 mM N-acetylcysteine (147 µL) were added to the reaction to quench RTX-5007. Following conjugation, the mixture was dialyzed with 1×PBS (pH 7.4) to remove excess payload. After three buffer exchanges over 12 hours, the final buffer was replaced with 1×PBS (pH 7.4).
[0135] After payload removal, 6.4 mg of ADC was recovered, and the DAR was determined to be 7.8 by LC-MS. The monomer purity was determined to be 100% by SEC. Its concentration was determined to be 4.0 mg / mL by A280.
[0136] Figure 1-3 depicts the determination of Herceptin-RTX-5007 monomer by SEC (20 µg of conjugate injected into a TSKgel G3000SWXL, mobile phase: 10% IPA in 1×PBS).
[0137] Figures 14A-14B depict the determination of the drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of Herceptin-RTX-5007 by LC-MS (0.2 µg of the reduced substance was injected into a PLRP-S (1000 Å, 8 μm, 2.1 mm x 50 mm)).
[0138] Figure 15 depicts the determination of the concentration of Herceptin-RTX-5007 by A280 at an extinction coefficient of 14.8 on a nanodrop 2000C E1%.
[0139] In this embodiment, the antibody-drug conjugate saltuzumab-RTX-5007 conjugate was prepared as in Example 6.
[0140] Prior to conjugation, saltuzumab was dialyzed into 1×PBS at pH 7.4. The RTX-5007 conjugate amplifies the reaction up to 10 mg, wherein saltuzumab is 5.0 mg / mL.
[0141] Sastuzumab was reduced for 1.5 h at 37°C using 6 equivalents of 10 mM TCEP (40 µL). After reduction, 1 mM EDTA (8.2 µL from 250 mM stock solution) was added to the protein. Before adding the payload, the buffer composition was adjusted to 10% DMA with an additional 200 µL of DMA. After adding the organic solvent, 20 equivalents of RTX-5007 (133.3 µL of 10 mM RTX-5007 in DMA) were added to the mAb. The mAb solution was mixed at room temperature for 1.5 h, and then the DAR was checked. After confirming the targeting of the DAR, 40 equivalents of 10 mM N-acetylcysteine (266.6 µL) were added to the reaction to quench RTX-5007. After conjugation, the protein was dialyzed with 1×PBS (pH 7.4) to remove excess payload. After three buffer exchanges over 12 hours, the final buffer was replaced with 1×PBS (pH 7.4).
[0142] After removing the payload, 5.4 mg of ADC was recovered, and the DAR was determined to be 8.0 by LC-MS. The monomer showed a purity of 100% by SEC. Its concentration was determined to be 3.0 mg / mL by A280.
[0143] Figure 16 depicts the determination of saltuzumab-RTX-5007 monomer by SEC (20 µg of conjugate was injected into a TSKgel G3000SWXL, with 10% IPA in 1×PBS as the mobile phase).

[0146] In this embodiment, the binding kinetics of the antibody-drug conjugate using an anti-HER2 antibody (Herceptin) and the antibody-drug conjugate using an anti-TROP2 antibody (saltuzumab) were determined.
[0147] Different concentrations of Herceptin-ADC or saltuzumab-ADC were used to determine the interaction kinetics. Herceptin or saltuzumab was used as a positive control, and human isotype IgG was used as a negative control at the same concentration dilution.
[0148] His-tagged human HER2 or His-tagged human Trop2 (~35 nM and 150 nM, respectively) were loaded onto the Ni-NTA probe by immersing the probe in the probe for 180–300 seconds. The probe loaded with the His-tagged receptor was immersed in different concentrations (500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM) of Herceptin-ADC / Sastuzumab-ADC or mAb for 300 seconds to determine the association kinetics. The His-tagged receptor probe was immersed in Q buffer for 300 seconds to determine the dissociation kinetics of the bound ADC / mAb.
[0149] Figures 19A-19B depict the binding kinetics of Herceptin with HER2.
[0150] Figures 20A-20B depict the binding kinetics of Herceptin-ADC with HER2.
[0151] Figures 21A-21B depict the binding kinetics of the isoform with HER2.
[0152] Figures 22A-22B depict the binding kinetics of Sastuzumab with TROP2.
[0153] Figures 23A-23B depict the binding kinetics of sastuzumab-ADC with TROP2.
[0154] Figures 24A-24B depict the binding kinetics of the isoform with TROP2.
[0155] Both Herceptin and its ADC derivatives showed comparable binding ability to the HER-2 receptor (approximately 0.5-2 nM), indicating that the conjugation has little effect on the receptor binding ability of the mAb. Similarly, sastuzumab and its ADC showed comparable binding ability to the TROP-2 receptor (approximately 0.04-0.1 nM). In this embodiment, in vitro cytotoxicity data were determined for the antibody-drug conjugate using an anti-HER2 antibody (Herceptin) and the antibody-drug conjugate using an anti-TROP2 antibody (sastuzumab).
[0156] Herceptin-ADC is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Her2, which delivers a small molecule (oxazine) with antitumor activity. It has been reported that the N87 cell line expresses high levels of Her2 mRNA transcripts and proteins.
[0157] Satuzumab-ADC is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Trop2, which delivers small molecules (oxygen)The azirmonium (azirmonium) payload has antitumor activity. The N87 cell line has been reported to express moderate levels of Trop2 mRNA transcripts.
[0158] Figures 25A-25B depict live-cell imaging analysis (IncuCyte S3) of NCI-N87 cells at a range of seeding densities (Figure 25A for low density; Figure 25B for high density) in 96-well plates to monitor cell growth for up to 120 hours. In this embodiment, the in vitro cytotoxicity study was designed as follows: NCI-N87 cells were seeded at 30,000 cells / well in 96-well plates and allowed to adhere overnight in normal growth medium (RPMI-10% FBS). N87 cells were treated with sastuzumab-ADC (NJBP-0165-126) or Herceptin-ADC (NJBP-0165-129) at dose levels ranging from 30 mg / mL to 0.03 mg / mL in the presence of caspase 3 / 7. Phase-contrast microscopy was used to monitor confluence percentages every six hours, and apoptosis was monitored under 488 nm fluorescence. IC50 curves were plotted after 24, 48, 72–74, and 96 hours of culture. In this embodiment, cell density may be varied depending on the cell line used.
[0159] Figure 26A depicts N87 cells treated with Herceptin-ADC (NJBP-0165-129) at dose levels ranging from 30 mg / mL to 0.03 mg / mL in the presence of caspase 3 / 7, with phase contrast microscopy imaging every six hours to monitor confluence % and cell apoptosis monitored under 488 nm fluorescence. Figures 26B-26E depict IC50 curves plotted at 24 hours (26B), 48 hours (26C), 72 hours (26D), and 96 hours (26E) of culture.
[0160] Figure 27A depicts N87 cells treated with sastuzumab-ADC (NJBP-0165-126) at dose levels ranging from 30 mg / mL to 0.03 mg / mL in the presence of caspase 3 / 7, with phase-contrast microscopy imaging every six hours to monitor confluence percentage and cell apoptosis monitored under 488 nm fluorescence; Figures 27B-27E depict IC50 curves plotted at 24 hours (27B), 48 hours (27C), 72 hours (27D), and 96 hours (27E) of culture.
[0161] The results showed that the response to the ADC was dose- and target-dependent. The results also showed that the cytotoxicity of both Herceptin-ADC and sastuzumab-ADC in N87 cells was target-dependent (HER2 expression) and dose-dependent. At 96 hours, N87 cells were more sensitive to Herceptin-ADC (IC50 = 0.026 μg / mL) than to sastuzumab-ADC (IC50 = 0.440 μg / mL).

[0183] Example 1. Preparation of trastuzumab-THLP1 as a prototype oxazine-ADC using a hydrazone linker.
[0184] The preparation of trastuzumab-THLP1 was completed in two parts: first, the linker payload was synthesized, and second, the corresponding ADC, namely trastuzumab-THLP1, was prepared. The synthesis of the linker payload was completed as depicted in Figure 4.

[0186] 1-[4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]ethyl-1-one (1) was treated with tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane and imidazole in DMF to give a protective alcohol 2 in 98% yield. The protective alcohol was treated with hydrazine hydrate and acetic acid in ethanol to give the desired hydrazone 3 in 86% yield. 6-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo-1-yl)hexanoic acid was activated with oxalyl chloride in dichloromethane using a catalytic amount of DMF to give the corresponding acyl chloride, which was coupled with hydrazone 3 to give acylhydrazone 5. TBAF buffered with acetic acid was used to treat tert-butyldiphenyl ether.The methylsilyl group was deprotected to give alcohol 6. Finally, it was treated with POCl3 in dichloromethane at -78°C, and then treated with 2-chloroethylamine hydrochloride and triethylamine to give target compound 7.
[0187] Using the adapter payload, the target ADC was prepared according to the following procedure: TCEP solution in PBS buffer (156.7 µL, 0.5 mM, pH=7) was added to trastuzumab solution (800.0 µL, 5 mg / mL), and the solution was gently shaken and incubated at 33°C for 1 hour; the adapter payload THLP-1 (66.0 µL, 2.5 mM in DMSO) was added, and the solution was gently shaken and kept at 25°C for 0.5 hours.

The yield was 76% after purification by silica gel column chromatography; the purity was confirmed by 1H NMR (NMR purity > 95%). Ester 2 was treated with (3-bromopropoxy)-tert-butyldimethylsilane in DMF in the presence of potassium carbonate to give protected ester 3. A quantitative yield was obtained after purification by silica gel column chromatography; the purity was confirmed by 1H NMR (NMR purity > 95%). Protected ester 3 was reduced in THF with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) to give alcohol 4. The yield was 87% after purification by silica gel column chromatography; the purity was confirmed by 1H NMR (NMR purity > 95%). Alcohol 4 was treated with bis(trimethylsilyl)aminolithium at -78°C, followed by treatment with bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphoramide dichloride, and then with ammonia in THF to give phosphoramide 5. The yield was 79% after purification by silica gel column chromatography; the purity was confirmed by 1H NMR (NMR purity > 95%). Phosphoramide 5 was deprotected in methanol with aqueous hydrochloric acid (1M) to give alcohol 6. Purified by silica gel column chromatography, the yield was 56%; confirmed by 1H NMR (NMR purity > 95%). Alcohol 6 was treated with carbon tetrabromide and triphenylphosphine in dichloromethane to give bromide 7. Purified by silica gel column chromatography, the yield was 60%; confirmed by 1H NMR and MS ES+ = 492, 494 (NMR purity > 95%). Bromide 7 was substituted with 10-oxa-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.0,2.6]dec-8-en-3,5-dione in DMF in the presence of potassium carbonate to give protected phthalimide 8. Purified by silica gel column chromatography, the yield was 57%; confirmed by 1H NMR and MS ES+ = 577 (NMR purity > 95%).
[0192] Finally, compound 8 was subjected to reverse Diels-Alder reaction in toluene at 120 °C to give the target compound RTX5007. Crude RTX5007 was purified by silica gel column chromatography in 55% yield. The product was confirmed by 1H NMR, 31P NMR, MS ES+=509, and HPLC (purity = 98.1%). Prepare 100mg for biological testing.
[0193] Example 3. Synthesis of connector-payload RTX5014 (isophosphoramide mustard). Specification 19 / 24 pages 27 CN 121752295 A
[0194] The synthesis of RTX5014 was carried out in 5 steps from commercially available maleic anhydride 1 and furan 2. The synthesis of RTX5014 was carried out using the chemical method illustrated in Figure 11.
[0195] Reagents & conditions: a) diethyl ether, room temperature, 24 h; b) 3-amino-1-propanol, MeOH, 0℃-room temperature, overnight; c) toluene, 130℃, 6 h; f) MeOH, anodizing; g) BF3.OEt2, DCM.
[0196] Procedure: Maleic anhydride (25 g, 253.5 mmol, 1 equivalent) was reacted with furan (34.5 g, 507 mmol, 1 equivalent) in diethyl ether (250 ml) overnight at room temperature, yielding a bicyclic Diels-Alder adduct 3 (21 g) in 50% yield as a white powder, which was filtered and washed with cold diethyl ether. The crude substance was of sufficiently high purity by NMR and could be used in the next step without further purification. 3-Amino-1-propanol (4.5 g, 60 mmol, 1 equivalent) was reacted with adduct 3 (10 g, 60 mmol, 1 equivalent) in MeOH, yielding compound 4 (5.6 g) as a white solid in 42% yield, which could also be used in the next step without further purification. Compound 4 (3 g, 13.44 mmol) was refluxed in toluene (10 ml) at 130 °C for 6 h, followed by silica gel column chromatography purification to yield the desired compound 5 (1.6 g) in 75% yield as a waxy solid (structure confirmed by 1H NMR, purity 95%).
[0197] Commercially available ifosfamide 6 (300 mg, 1.1 mmol, 1 equivalent) was subjected to electrochemical anodic oxidation (J. Med. Chem. 2015, 58, 705 717) to yield compound 7 (300 mg, crude yield 96%), which was used immediately without any further purification due to its high instability. The formation of compound 7 was confirmed by TLC (DCM:acetone 1:1). In DCM, at -78 °C, in the presence of BF3·OEt (152 mg, 1.1 mmol, 1 equate), compound 7 (300 mg, 1.1 mmol, 1 equate) reacted with compound 5 (356 mg, 2.3 mmol, 2 equates) to provide the crude product RTX5014 (523 mg). Mass spectrometry analysis of the crude reaction mixture confirmed the formation of the product. The crude reaction mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography. 1H NMR of the isolated compounds showed that the desired product contained minor impurities and the yield (87%) was [not specified].mg, 18%, purity ~85% by NMR). NMR of the sample recorded 4 days later showed further decomposition. The bulk-stored sample was purified again to remove impurities to provide 27 mg of RTX5014 (purity ~85% by NMR).
[0198] Example 4. Synthesis of the connector-payload RTX5015.
[0199] The synthesis of RTX5015 was carried out in 7 steps from commercially available maleic anhydride 1 and furan 2. The synthesis of RTX5015 was carried out using the chemical method illustrated in Figure 12.
[0200] Reagents & Conditions: a) Diethyl ether, room temperature, 24 h; b) 3-amino-1-propanol, MeOH, 0℃-room temperature, overnight; c) PPh3, DIAD, 4-hydroxyacetophenone, 0℃-room temperature, overnight; d) DCM:MeOH (3:1), NaBH4, room temperature, 4 h; e) Toluene, 130℃, 6 h; f) MeOH, anodizing; g) BF3.OEt2, DCM.
[0201] Procedure: Maleic anhydride (25 g, 253.5 mmol, 1 equivalent) was reacted with furan (34.5 g, 507 mmol, 1 equivalent) in diethyl ether (250 ml) overnight at room temperature, yielding a bicyclic Diels-Alder adduct 3 (21 g) in 50% yield as a white powder, which was filtered and washed with cold diethyl ether. The crude compound was of sufficiently high purity by NMR and could be used in the next step without further purification. The reaction of 3-amino-1-propanol (4.5 g, 60 mmol, 1 equivalent) with adduct 3 (10 g, 60 mmol, 1 equivalent) in MeOH yielded compound 4 (5.6 g) as a white solid in 42% yield, which could also be used in the next step without further purification. Compound 4 (6 g, 27 mmol, 1 equivalent) was reacted with 4-hydroxyacetophenone (3.7 g, 27 mmol, 1 equivalent), DIAD (6 g, 30 mmol, 1.1 equivalent), and PPh3 (7.7 g, 30 mmol, 1 equivalent) in THF under Mitsunobu conditions. Column chromatography purification yielded compound 5 (5.2 g) in 58% yield (structure confirmed by 1H NMR, purity 95%). Compound 5 (5 g, 14.6 mmol, 1 equivalent) was reduced with NaBH4 (1.1 g, 29.3 mmol, 2 equivalent) in a DCM:MeOH (3:1) mixture, and purified by column chromatography to give the desired alcohol 6 (1 g) in 20% yield (structure confirmed by 1H NMR). Compound 6 (175 mg, 0.5 mmol) was refluxed in toluene (3 ml) at 130 °C for 6 h, and purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the desired compound 7 (115 mg, 1 g) in 20% yield.The yield was 82%, and the product was a waxy solid (page 20 / 24, CN 121752295 A, structure confirmed by 1H NMR, purity 95%).
[0202] Commercially available cyclophosphamide 8 (300 mg, 1.1 mmol, 1 equivalent) was subjected to electrochemical anodization (J. Med. Chem. 2015, 58, 705 717) to provide compound 9 (300 mg, crude yield 96%). Since compound 9 was reported to be very unstable, it was used immediately without any further purification. The formation of compound 9 was confirmed by TLC (DCM:acetone 1:1). In a DCM at -78 °C, compound 9 (300 mg, 1 mmol, 1 equivalent) reacted with compound 7 (443 mg, 16 mmol, 1.5 equivalent) in the presence of BF3.OEt (152 mg, 1 mmol, 1 equivalent) to provide the crude product RTX5015 (533 mg). Mass spectrometry analysis of the crude reaction mixture confirmed product formation. The crude reaction mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography. 1H NMR analysis of the isolated compounds revealed multiple stereoisomers of the desired product in yield (38 mg, 7%, NMR purity ~85%). However, the presence of multiple product stereoisomers made it difficult to calculate their precise ratios and total purity. The characteristic product signals present in 1H NMR and the mass spectrometry data supported product formation and total purity. After 48 h, the stability of the product was examined by NMR and found to be stable at -20 °C.
[0203] Example 5. Preparation of antibody-drug conjugates using anti-HER2 antibody (trastuzumab (Herceptin)).
[0204] Herceptin-RTX-5007 RTX-5007 conjugates were expanded to a maximum of 7.4 mg, with Herceptin at 4.9 mg / mL.
[0205] Herceptin was reduced at 37°C for 1.5 h with 6 equivalents of 10 mM TCEP (29.4 µL). After reduction, 1 mM EDTA (from 250 mM stock solution, 6.1 µL) was added to the protein. Before adding the payload, the buffer composition was adjusted to 10% DMA with an additional 150 µL of DMA. After adding the organic solvent, 15 equivalents of RTX-5007 (73.5 µL of 10 mM RTX-5007 in DMA) were added to the mAb. The mAb solution was mixed at room temperature for 1.5 h, and then the DAR was checked. After confirming DAR targeting, 30 equivalents of 10 mM N-acetylcysteine (147 µL) were added to the reaction to quench RTX-5007. Following conjugation, dialysis with 1×PBS (pH 7.4) was performed to remove excess payload. The reaction was carried out over 12 hours.After three buffer exchanges, the final buffer was replaced with 1×PBS (pH 7.4).
[0206] After removing the payload, 6.4 mg of ADC was recovered, and the DAR was determined to be 7.8 by LC-MS. The monomer purity was determined to be 100% by SEC. Its concentration was determined to be 4.0 mg / mL by A280.
[0207] Figure 13 depicts the determination of Herceptin-RTX-5007 monomer by SEC (20 µg of conjugate was injected into a TSKgel G3000SWXL, and the mobile phase was 10% IPA in 1×PBS).

[0211] Saltuzumab-RTX-5007 conjugate.
[0212] Before conjugation, satuzumab was dialyzed into 1×PBS at pH 7.4. The RTX-5007 conjugation was amplified to a maximum of 10 mg, with satuzumab at 5.0 mg / mL.
[0213] Saltuzumab was reduced at 37°C for 1.5 h using 6 equivalents of 10 mM TCEP (40 µL). After reduction, 1 mM EDTA (taken from 250 mM stock solution, 8.2 µL) was added to the protein. Before adding the payload, the buffer composition was adjusted to 10% DMA with an additional 200 µL of DMA. After adding the organic solvent, 20 equivalents of RTX-5007 (133.3 µL of 10 mM RTX-5007 in DMA) were added to the mAb. The mAb solution was mixed at room temperature for 1.5 h, and then the DAR was checked. After confirming the targeting DAR, 40 equivalents of 10 mM N-acetylcysteine (266.6 µL) were added to the reaction to quench RTX-5007. After conjugation, the excess payload was removed by dialysis with 1×PBS (pH 7.4). After 3 buffer exchanges over 12 hours, the final buffer was replaced with 1×PBS (pH 7.4).
[0214] After removing the payload, 5.4 mg of ADC was recovered, and the DAR was determined to be 8.0 by LC-MS. The monomer was analyzed by SEC.The purity is shown to be 100%. Its concentration was determined to be 3.0 mg / mL by A280.

[0221] Different concentrations of Herceptin-ADC / saltuzumab-ADC were used to determine the interaction kinetics. Herceptin / saltuzumab was used as a positive control, and human isotype IgG was used as a negative control at the same concentration dilution.
[0222] His-tagged human HER2 or His-tagged human Trop2 (~35 nM and 150 nM, respectively) were loaded onto Ni-NTA probes by immersing the probes for 180–300 seconds; additional probes without His-tagged receptors but using ADC / mAbs in the association step were used for background correction.
[0223] His-tagged receptor-loaded probes were immersed in different concentrations (500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM) of Herceptin-ADC / saltuzumab-ADC or mAb for 300 seconds to determine association kinetics.
[0224] His-tagged receptor probes were immersed in Q buffer for 300 seconds to determine the dissociation kinetics of bound ADC / mAbs.

Probes loaded with the His-tagged receptor were immersed in different concentrations (500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM) of Herceptin-ADC or mAb for 300 seconds to determine the association kinetics. Figure 19B depicts the concentration-dependent calculations (local fitting).
[0227] Figures 20A-20B depict the binding kinetics of Herceptin-ADC with HER2. Probes loaded with the His-tagged receptor were immersed in different concentrations (500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM) of Herceptin-ADC for 300 seconds to determine the association kinetics. Figure 20B depicts the concentration-dependent calculations (local fitting).
[0228] Figures 21A-21B depict the binding kinetics of the isotype with HER2. The probe loaded with the His-tagged receptor was immersed in different concentrations (500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM) of Herceptin-ADC for 300 seconds to determine the association kinetics. Figure 21B depicts the concentration-dependent calculations (local fitting) alone.
[0229] Figures 22A-22B depict the binding kinetics of sautuzumab with TROP2.

Figure 22B depicts the concentration-dependent calculations (local fitting) alone. Specification 22 / 24 pages 30 CN 121752295 A
[0230] Figures 23A-23B depict the binding kinetics of sautuzumab-ADC with TROP2. The probes loaded with the His-tagged receptor were immersed in sastuzumab-ADC at different concentrations (500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM) for 300 seconds to determine the association kinetics. Figure 23B depicts the concentration-dependent calculations (local fitting) alone.
[0231] Figures 24A-24B depict the binding kinetics of the isoform with TROP2. The probes loaded with the His-tagged receptor were immersed in mAbs at different concentrations (500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM) for 300 seconds to determine the association kinetics. Figure 24B depicts the concentration-dependent calculations (local fitting) alone.
[0232] Both Herceptin and the ADC derivative showed comparable binding abilities to the HER-2 receptor (approximately 0.5-2 nM range), indicating that conjugation has little effect on the receptor binding ability of the mAb.
[0233] Similarly, sastuzumab and its ADC have comparable binding affinity to the TROP-2 receptor (approximately 0.04–0.1 nM).
[0234] Human isotype IgG (negative control) does not bind to any receptor.
[0235] Example 8. In vitro cytotoxicity data of antibody-drug conjugates using anti-HER2 antibody (Herceptin) and antibody-drug conjugates using anti-TROP2 antibody (satruzumab).
[0236] Herceptin-ADC is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Her2, which delivers a small molecule (oxazine) with antitumor activity.
[0237] It has been reported that the N87 cell line expresses high levels of Her2 mRNA transcripts (https: / / www.proteinatlas.org / ENSG00000141736-ERBB2 / cell+line) and proteins (Cancer Cell International. 2014: https: / / cancerci.biomedcentral.com / articles / 10.1186 / 1475-2867-14-10).
[0238] Satuzumab-ADC is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting Trop2, which delivers a small molecule (oxazine) payload with antitumor activity.
[0239] The N87 cell line has been reported to express moderate levels of Trop2 mRNA transcripts (https: / / www.proteinatlas.org / ENSG00000184292-TACSTD2 / cell+line).
[0240] Figures 25A-25B depict live-cell imaging analysis (IncuCyte S3) of NCI-N87 cells at a range of seeding densities (Figure 25A for low density; Figure 25B for high density) in 96-well plates to monitor cell growth for up to 120 hours.
[0241] In this embodiment, the in vitro cytotoxicity study was designed as follows. The NCI-N87 cell line was purchased from ATCC and expanded in vitro before use. First, cells across a range of seeding densities were assessed in 96-well plates using live-cell imaging analysis (IncuCyte S3) to monitor cell growth for up to 120 hours. For dose-response studies, a seeding density of 30,000 cells per well was selected. NCI-N87 cells were seeded at 30,000 cells / well in 96-well plates and allowed to adhere overnight in normal growth medium (RPMI-10% FBS). Saltozumab-ADC was administered at dose levels ranging from 30 mg / mL to 0.03 mg / mL in the presence of caspase 3 / 7 (CellEvent™ Green Reagent, Invitrogen).N87 cells were treated with either Herceptin-ADC (NJBP-0165-129) or NJBP-0165-129, with phase-contrast microscopy imaging every six hours to monitor confluence percentage and apoptosis monitored at 488 nm fluorescence. IC50 curves were plotted after 24, 48, 72–74, and 96 hours of culture. Figure 26A depicts N87 cells treated with Herceptin-ADC (NJBP-0165-129) at dose levels ranging from 30 mg / mL to 0.03 mg / mL in the presence of caspase 3 / 7 (CellEvent™ Green Reagent, Invitrogen), with phase-contrast microscopy imaging every six hours to monitor confluence percentage and apoptosis monitored at 488 nm fluorescence. Figures 26B–26E depict IC50 curves plotted after 24 hours (26B), 48 hours (26C), 72 hours (26D), and 96 hours (26E). Instructions for Use, pages 23 / 24, 31 CN 121752295 A
[0242] Figure 27A depicts N87 cells treated with sastuzumab-ADC (NJBP-0165-126) at dose levels ranging from 30 mg / mL to 0.03 mg / mL in the presence of caspase 3 / 7 (CellEvent™ Green Reagent, Invitrogen), with phase-contrast microscopy imaging every six hours to monitor confluence % and cell apoptosis monitored under 488 nm fluorescence; Figures 27B-27E depict IC50 curves plotted at 24 hours (27B), 48 hours (27C), 72 hours (27D), and 96 hours (27E) of culture.
[0243] The results showed that the response to ADC was dose- and target-dependent. The results showed that the cytotoxicity of both Herceptin-ADC and sastuzumab-ADC in N87 cells was target- (HER2 expression) and dose-dependent. At 96 hours, N87 cells were more sensitive to Herceptin-ADC (IC50 = 0.026 μg / mL) than to Saltuzumab-ADC (IC50 = 0.440 μg / mL).
