AI Technical Summary
Current bone-targeted biotherapeutics have limited efficacy and retention on the bone surface, with only one approved therapy for human use, and there is a lack of understanding about the key features necessary for optimal protein delivery.
Development of bone targeting therapeutic conjugates comprising a therapeutic antibody for treating bone diseases, such as anti-sclerostin, anti-RANKL, or anti-TGFβ antibodies, conjugated with bone targeting moieties like bisphosphonates or acidic oligopeptides, which are site-specifically attached to the antibody using sortase/sortag labeling and click chemistry.
The bone targeting therapeutic conjugates demonstrate enhanced pharmacokinetic properties, including increased circulation time and avidity, leading to improved bone surface targeting and retention, which results in increased therapeutic efficacy for bone diseases like osteoporosis, potentially allowing for lower doses and less frequent dosing.
