Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to camptothecin-based drugs used as antitumor agents and their antibody-drug conjugates. Prior Technology
[0002] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), as novel targeted therapies, generally consist of three parts: an antibody or antibody-like ligand, a small molecule drug, and a linker that conjugates the ligand and drug. ADCs utilize the specific recognition of antigens by antibodies to transport drug molecules to the vicinity of target cells and effectively release the drug molecules, achieving therapeutic goals. In August 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Adecteis™, a novel ADC developed by Seattle Genetics, for the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma and relapsed large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Clinical applications have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this type of drug.
[0003] Camptothecin derivatives, small molecule compounds with antitumor properties, are known to exhibit antitumor activity by inhibiting DNA topoisomerase I. These include irinotecan, eciletcan, and SN38. Many camptothecin derivatives are widely used clinically, primarily for bone cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Unlike irinotecan currently used clinically, eciletcan does not require enzyme activation. Furthermore, compared to SN38, the pharmacodynamic component of irinotecan, and topotecan, which is also used clinically, eciletcan exhibits stronger topoisomerase I inhibitory activity and stronger cell-damaging activity against various cancer cells in vitro. In particular, it shows efficacy against cancer cells resistant to SN38, which express P-glycoprotein. Ecinotecan has not yet been successfully marketed as a standalone chemotherapy drug, presumably due to its high cellular activity, resulting in a narrow therapeutic window.
[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) offer advantages such as increased water solubility, improved targeting, and the specific binding of antibodies to antigens, delivering the drug to the vicinity of target cells. By releasing the drug near the target cells, they effectively kill tumor cells and reduce toxic side effects. Camptothecin-based drugs show considerable promise for application in ADCs.
[0005] The technical problem this patent aims to solve is to explore and discover better anti-tumor camptothecin compounds, improve the safety and efficacy of small molecule compounds against tumors in ADC drug applications, and obtain anti-tumor drugs with excellent efficacy.
[0006] Based on a comprehensive understanding of ADC drugs, the inventors designed a series of antitumor camptothecin active derivatives. Through experiments, they found that the small molecule compounds exhibited higher antitumor activity in cell experiments. Summary of the Invention

[0020] In this article, the term "derivative" refers to a substance that has a similar chemical structure to the compound but also contains at least one chemical group not present in the compound and / or lacks at least one chemical group present in the compound. The compound to which the derivative is compared is called the "parent" compound. Typically, the "derivative" can be generated from the parent compound in one or more chemical reaction steps. L-ligands
[0021] A ligand unit is a targeting agent that specifically binds to a target moiety. The ligand is capable of specifically binding to cellular components or other target molecules of interest. The target moiety or target is typically located on the cell surface. In some aspects, the role of the ligand unit is to deliver a drug unit to a specific target cell population with which the ligand unit interacts. Ligands include, but are not limited to, proteins, polypeptides, and peptides, as well as non-proteins such as sugars. Suitable ligand units include, for example, antibodies, such as full-length (intact) antibodies and their antigen-binding fragments. In embodiments where the ligand unit is a non-antibody targeting agent, it may be a peptide or polypeptide, or a non-protein molecule. Examples of such targeting agents include interferons, lymphocytes, hormones, growth factors and colony-stimulating factors, vitamins, nutrient transport molecules, or any other cell-binding molecules or substances. In some embodiments, a linker is covalently linked to a sulfur atom of the ligand. In some aspects, the sulfur atom is a sulfur atom of a cysteine residue that forms an interchain disulfide bond in the antibody. In another aspect, the sulfur atom is a sulfur atom of a cysteine residue that has been incorporated into the ligand unit, forming an interchain disulfide bond of the antibody. In yet another aspect, the sulfur atom is a sulfur atom of a cysteine residue that has been incorporated into the ligand unit (e.g., by site-directed mutagenesis or chemical reaction). In still another aspect, the sulfur atom bound to the linker is selected from cysteine residues that form an interchain disulfide bond of the antibody or cysteine residues that have been incorporated into the ligand unit (e.g., by site-directed mutagenesis or chemical reaction). In some embodiments, the EU indexing system is followed as in Kabat (Kabat EA et al., (1991)), Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Edition, NIH Publication 91-3242.
[0022] As used herein, "antibody" or "antibody unit" within its scope includes any part of an antibody structure. This unit may bind, reactively associate, or chelate a receptor, antigen, or other receptor units present in a target cell population. An antibody can be any protein or protein-like molecule that can bind, chelate, or react with a portion of a cell population to be treated or bioengineered.
[0023] In this invention, the antibodies constituting the antibody-drug conjugate preferably retain their original wild-state antigen-binding ability. Therefore, the antibodies in this invention can, preferably specifically, bind to antigens. The antigens involved include, for example, tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), cell surface receptor proteins and other cell surface molecules, cell survival regulators, cell proliferation regulators, molecules associated with tissue growth and differentiation (such as those known or anticipated to be functional), lymphocytes, cytokines, molecules involved in cell circulation regulation, molecules involved in angiogenesis, and molecules associated with angiogenesis (such as those known or anticipated to be functional). Tumor-associated factors may be cluster differentiation factors (such as CD proteins). [This is consistent with the description in this invention.]
[0024] Antibodies used in antibody-drug conjugates include, but are not limited to, antibodies targeting cell surface receptors and tumor-associated antigens. Such tumor-associated antigens are well-known in the industry and can be prepared using well-known antibody preparation methods and information. To develop effective cellular-level targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment, researchers seek transmembrane or other tumor-associated peptides. These targets are specifically expressed on the surface of one or more cancer cells, while being expressed sparingly or not at all on the surface of one or more non-cancer cells. Typically, such tumor-associated peptides are more overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells compared to non-cancer cells. Identifying such tumor-associated factors can significantly improve the specific targeting properties of antibody-based cancer therapies.
[0025] Tumor-associated antigens include, but are not limited to, the tumor-associated antigens listed below (1)-(36). For convenience, information on antigens well-known in the industry is indicated below, including name, other names, and gene bank accession number. Nucleic acid and protein sequences corresponding to tumor-associated antigens can be found in public databases, such as GenBank. Tumor-associated antigens targeted by antibodies include all amino acid sequence variants and homologs, and have at least 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% homology with the sequences identified in the reference documents, or have biological properties and characteristics completely consistent with the tumor-associated antigen sequences in the cited documents.
[0026] The term "inhibition" or "suppression of" refers to reducing the detectable amount or completely blocking it.
[0027] The term "cancer" refers to a physiological condition or disease characterized by disordered cell growth. "Tumor" includes cancer cells.
[0028] The term "autoimmune disease" refers to a disease or disorder that affects an individual's own tissues or proteins.
[0029] As used herein, the phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic salt of a compound (e.g., a drug, drug-connector, or ligand-connector-drug conjugate). The compound may contain at least one amino or carboxyl group and is therefore capable of forming an addition salt with the corresponding acid or base. Exemplary salts include, but are not limited to: sulfates, trifluoroacetates, citrates, acetates, oxalates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, nitrates, bisulfates, phosphates, acid phosphates, isonicotinates, lactates, salicylates, acid citrates, tartrates, oleates, tannates, pantothenates, bitartrates, ascorbic acid salts, salicylates, formates, benzoylformates, glutamates, methanesulfonates, ethanesulfonates, benzenesulfonates, p-toluenesulfonates, potassium salts, sodium salts, etc. Furthermore, pharmaceutically acceptable salts have more than one charged atom in their structure. Examples where multiple charged atoms are part of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have multiple counterexamples. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts have one or more charged atoms and / or one or more counter atoms.
[0030] Based on the mechanism of drug release within cells, as used in this article, "linkers" or "linkers of antibody-drug conjugates" can be divided into two categories: unbreakable linkers and breakable linkers.
[0031] For antibody-drug conjugates containing unbreakable linkers, the drug release mechanism is as follows: after the conjugate binds to the antigen and is endocytosed by the cell, the antibody is enzymatically cleaved in lysosomes, releasing an active molecule composed of a small molecule drug, the linker, and antibody amino acid residues. This alteration in drug molecular structure does not weaken its cytotoxicity; however, because the active molecule is charged (amino acid residues), it cannot penetrate neighboring cells. Therefore, such active drugs cannot kill neighboring tumor cells that do not express the target antigen (antigen-negative cells) (bystander effect) (Ducry et al., 2010, Bioconjugate Chem. 21:5-13).
[0032] Twisterable linkers, as the name suggests, can break down within target cells and release the active drug (the small molecule drug itself). Twisterable linkers can be divided into two main categories: chemically unstable linkers and enzyme-unstable linkers.
[0033] Chemically unstable linkers can be selectively broken due to differences in plasma and cytoplasmic properties. Such properties include pH value and glutathione concentration.
[0034] pH-sensitive linkers are often called acid-splitting linkers. Such linkers are relatively stable in the neutral environment of blood (pH 7.3-7.5), but will be hydrolyzed in weakly acidic endosomes (pH 5.0-6.5) and lysosomes (pH 4.5-5.0). First-generation antibody-drug conjugates mostly utilize these types of linkers, such as hydrazones, carbonates, acetals, and ketals. Due to the limited plasma stability of acid-splitting linkers, antibody-drug conjugates based on these linkers typically have a short half-life (2-3 days). This short half-life limits the application of pH-sensitive linkers in next-generation antibody-drug conjugates to some extent.
[0035] For glutathione-sensitive linkers, also known as disulfide linkers, drug release is based on the difference between the high intracellular glutathione concentration (millimolar range) and the relatively low blood glutathione concentration (micromolar range). This is especially true for tumor cells, where low oxygen levels lead to increased reductase activity, resulting in even higher glutathione concentrations. Disulfide bonds are thermodynamically stable, thus exhibiting good stability in plasma.
[0036] Unstable enzyme linkers, such as peptide linkers, offer better control over drug release. Peptide linkers can be effectively cleaved by lysosomal proteases, such as cathepsin B or plasmin (which is found in increased amounts in some tumor tissues). These peptide links are considered highly stable in plasma circulation because unsuitable extracellular pH and serum protease inhibitors typically render the proteases inactive. Given their high plasma stability and good intracellular cleavage selectivity and efficiency, unstable enzyme linkers are widely used as cleavable linkers for antibody-drug conjugates. Typical unstable enzyme linkers include Val-Cit(vc) and Phe-Lys.
[0037] Suicide linkers are typically embedded between a breakable linker and the active drug, or are themselves part of a breakable linker. The mechanism of action of suicide linkers is that when the breakable linker breaks under suitable conditions, the suicide linker spontaneously rearranges its structure, thereby releasing the attached active drug. Common suicide linkers include para-aminobenzyl alcohols (PABs) and β-glucuronides.
[0038] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Test methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions are generally performed under general conditions or as recommended by the manufacturer. Unless otherwise stated, all percentages, proportions, ratios, or parts are by weight.

Furthermore, any methods and materials similar to or equivalent to those described herein may be applied to the methods of this invention.

Example 24: Cell activity test of camptothecin
[0065] The cytotoxic activity of camptothecin was determined using the following experimental procedure: Camptothecin was added to the culture medium of human tumor cells expressing A431, Fadu, Bxpc-3 (EGFR-positive cells) and U87-MG, SW620 (negative control cells), respectively. Cell viability was measured after 72 hours of cell culture. In vitro cell-based experiments were used to determine cell viability, cytotoxicity, and programmed cell death induced by the camptothecin drug of this invention.
[0066] The in vitro efficacy of camptothecin was determined using a cell proliferation assay. The CellTiter 96® Aqueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay was commercially available (Promega Corp., Madison, WI). The CellTiter 96® AQueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay(a) is a colorimetric assay for determining the number of viable cells in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. This assay contains a novel tetrazolium compound [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt; MTS] and an electron coupling agent (phenazine ethosulfate; PES). PES provides enhanced chemical stability, allowing it to be mixed with MTS to form a stable solution. This convenient "single solution" mode is an improvement on the first-generation CellTiter 96® AQueous Assay. The electron coupling agent PMS used in CellTiter 96® AQueous Assay is provided separately from the MTS solution. MTS (Owen's reagent) is biologically reduced by cells to a colored formazan product, which is directly soluble in the culture medium (the structures of MTS tetrazolium salt and its formazan product are shown below). This transformation is likely accomplished by NADPH or NADH produced by dehydrogenases in metabolically active cells. For detection, simply add a small amount of CellTiter 96® AQueous One Solution Reagent directly to the culture medium in the wells of the culture plate, incubate for 1–4 hours, and then read the absorbance value at 490 nm using a microplate reader.
[0067] The amount of formazan product detected at 490 nm is directly proportional to the number of viable cells in culture. Because the formazan product of MTS is soluble in tissue culture medium, the CellTiter 96® AQueous One Solution Assay requires fewer steps compared to the MTT or INT methods.
[0068] This invention uses A431, Fadu, Bxpc-3 (EGFR-positive cells) and U87-MG, SW620 (negative control cells) as the in vitro efficacy assay system. In 96-well plates, cells were seeded at an appropriate density, and camptothecin was added 24 hours later. 24 hours later, the camptothecin was diluted with assay medium (1 μM starting, 5-fold dilution, 9 concentrations; assay medium was added to the 10th column as a blank control). The diluted camptothecin was added to the corresponding wells, and the plates were shaken for 3 minutes at 550 rpm / min using a microplate shaker (MX100-4A). After shaking, the plates were incubated in a CO2 incubator for 3 days. After 3 days, 20 μL of MTS (Promega, G3581) was added to each well, and the reaction was carried out for 2 hours. The reading was 490 nM using a microplate reader (Molecular Device, SpectraMAX190). The inhibitory effect of camptothecin on cell proliferation was evaluated by detecting the activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenases.

[0069] SN38 is a classic, highly active camptothecin drug, and its efficacy has been clinically demonstrated in IMMU-132 ADC. Through cell activity experiments, the inventors have demonstrated that the camptothecin derivatives described in this invention exhibited comparable or higher cell activity than SN38 in representative tumor cell lines such as Fadu, BXPC-3, A431, U87-MG, and SW620. Example 25: General Method for Coupling Fabrication of ADC
[0070] Antibody molecule C, after preliminary purification with a monomer content greater than 95%, was transferred to phosphate buffer (10 mg / ml) using an ultrafiltration centrifuge tube. TCEP (20 times the molar number of antibody molecules) was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 4 hours to open the interchain disulfide bonds. Then, payload (20 times the molar number of antibody molecules) was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 2 hours. After the reaction, the sample was transferred to PBS using an ultrafiltration centrifuge tube with a molecular weight cutoff of 30 kDa, and any unconjugated payload was removed. The ADC sample after the buffer exchange was filtered using a 0.22-micron sterile sieve for later use. Conjugation compounds 11, 20, 21, 23, and 24 were conjugated to antibody molecule C using the conjugation method described in Example 25.

[0071] Similar to the method for testing the cell activity of camptothecin, this invention uses A431, Fadu, Bxpc-3 (antigen-positive cells), and SW620 (antigen-negative control cells) as the in vitro efficacy assay system. Cells were seeded at appropriate density in 96-well plates, and ADC drugs were added after 24 hours.

Example 27: In vivo efficacy test of ADC
[0073] In this invention, an A431 tumor-bearing mouse model was established to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of the toxin-ADC conjugate drug. Specifically, 3 × 10⁶ A431 cells were subcutaneously injected into the right side of 4-6 week old BALB / c nude mice. When the average tumor size reached 140-150 mm³, the mice were randomly sealed, with 5 mice per group. On days 0, 7, 14, and 21, mice were administered a blank control (buffered buffer solution blank) and the antibody-drug conjugate C-11 intravenously at a dose of 10 mg / kg, respectively. Tumor volume measurements are shown as mean tumor volume ± SE at the time of measurement. Mouse weight changes were also recorded to observe the preliminary in vivo toxicity of the ADC drug.
