AI Technical Summary
Existing anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugates are prone to drug resistance when treating HER2-positive, low-expression or mutant tumor diseases, resulting in poor treatment effect.
An antibody drug conjugate containing Pertuzumab is used to connect to the cytotoxic drug exitekan derivative through a lysable linker to form an antibody drug conjugate. The lysable linker is used to release the drug when the cancer cells are internalized, thereby improving the targeted killing effect on cancer cells, and reducing aggregation and increasing drug load by selecting suitable linkers such as Val-Cit or PEG moieties.
The therapeutic effect of resistant tumors against HER2 antibody drug conjugates has been improved, targeted killing of cancer cells has been enhanced, off-target killing of normal cells has been reduced, aggregation level has been reduced, and the targeting and cytotoxicity of the drug has been improved.

Abstract
Description
Use of eribulin derivative drug conjugates for treating tumors Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to the use of eribulin derivative drug conjugates for preparing tumor treatment. Background Art
[0002] Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) link monoclonal antibodies or antibody fragments to biologically active drugs via stable chemical linker compounds. They leverage the specificity of antibodies for binding to surface antigens on both normal and tumor cells and the high efficacy of drugs, while avoiding the drawbacks of the former, such as low efficacy, and the latter's excessive toxic side effects. This means that compared to traditional chemotherapy drugs, ADCs can precisely bind to tumor cells while minimizing their effects on normal cells.
[0003] Microtubules are powerful, filamentous cytoskeletal proteins associated with a variety of cellular functions, including intracellular migration and transport, cell signaling, and maintaining cell shape. Microtubules also play a key role in mitotic cell division by forming the mitotic spindle, which is required for the division of chromosomes into two daughter cells. The biological functions of microtubules in all cells are largely regulated by their polymerization dynamics, which is achieved by the reversible, non-covalent addition of α and β tubulin dimers to the ends of the microtubules. This dynamic behavior and the resulting control of microtubule length are indispensable for the proper function of the mitotic spindle. Even slight changes in microtubule dynamics can involve the axis checkpoint, inhibiting cell cycle progression during mitosis and subsequently causing cell death. Because cancer cells divide rapidly, they are generally more sensitive to compounds that bind to tubulin and disrupt its normal functions compared to normal cells. Therefore, tubulin inhibitors and their antibody-drug conjugates are expected to become a promising class of drugs for treating cancer.
[0004] Currently, clinically available ADCs targeting HER2 (such as DS-8201) have shown promising clinical efficacy in patients with HER2-expressing or mutated cancers. However, most of them ultimately lead to disease progression due to different mechanisms. Summary of the Invention

[0122] definition
[0123] In order to make the present disclosure more easily understood, certain technologies and sciences are specifically defined below. Unless otherwise explicitly defined in the present disclosure, all other technologies and sciences used in the present disclosure have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art to which the present disclosure belongs.
[0124] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the words "comprising," "having," "including," etc. should be construed to have an inclusive sense rather than an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is, in the sense of "including but not limited to."
[0125] Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are antibodies that are linked to biologically active cytotoxins or small molecule drugs with cell-killing activity through a linker.
[0126] "Drug loading" or "drug loading" is also called the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), which is the average number of drugs conjugated to each antibody in the ADC. It can be, for example, in the range of 1 to 10 drugs conjugated to each antibody, and in certain embodiments, in the range of 1 to 8 drugs conjugated to each antibody, preferably 2-8, 2-7, 2-6, 2-5, 2-4, 3-4, 3-5, 5-6, 5-7, 5-8 and 6-8. Exemplary, the drug loading can be an average of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The ADC formula of the present disclosure includes a collection of antibodies conjugated to drugs within the aforementioned ranges. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the drug loading can be represented as n. Drug loading can be determined by conventional methods such as UV / visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA assays and HPLC.
[0127] The term "linker unit" or "connection fragment" or "connection unit" refers to a chemical structure fragment or bond that is connected to an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment at one end and to a drug at the other end, and can also be connected to other linkers before being connected to the drug.
[0128] Linkers, including extenders, spacers, and amino acid units, can be synthesized by methods known in the art, such as those described in US20050238649A1. The linker can be a "cleavable linker" that facilitates release of the drug in the cell. For example, an acid-labile linker (e.g., a hydrazone), a protease-sensitive (e.g., a peptidase-sensitive) linker, a photolabile linker, a dimethyl linker, or a disulfide-containing linker can be used (Chari et al., Cancer Research 52:127-131 (1992); U.S. Patent No. 5,208,020).
[0129] The term "drug linker fragment" or "drug-linker fragment" refers to a fragment formed by linking a drug to a linker unit, which can be linked to an antibody through the other end of the linker unit.
[0130] Cytotoxic drug loading can be controlled by the following non-limiting methods, including:
[0131] (1) Control the molar ratio of the drug linker fragment and the monoclonal antibody,
[0132] (2) Control reaction time and temperature,
[0133] (3) Select different reaction reagents.
[0134] The three letter and one letter codes for amino acids used in this disclosure are as described in J. biol. chem, 243, p3558 (1968).
[0135] The term "antibody" as used herein is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to full-length antibodies and antibody fragments (or antigen-binding fragments, or antigen-binding portions), as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. Typically, a natural intact antibody consists of a tetrapeptide chain structure consisting of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected by interchain disulfide bonds.
[0136] The engineered antibodies or antigen-binding fragments disclosed herein can be prepared and purified using conventional methods. For example, cDNA sequences encoding heavy and light chains can be cloned and recombined into GS expression vectors. The recombinant immunoglobulin expression vector can be stably transfected into CHO cells. As a more preferred existing technology, mammalian expression systems result in glycosylation of antibodies, particularly at the highly conserved N-terminal site in the Fc region. Positive clones are expanded in serum-free culture medium in a bioreactor to produce antibodies. The culture fluid that secretes antibodies can be purified using conventional techniques. For example, purification can be performed using an A or G Sepharose FF column containing an adjusted buffer. Non-specifically bound components are washed away. The bound antibodies are then eluted using a pH gradient method, and the antibody fragments are detected by SDS-PAGE and collected. The antibodies can be filtered and concentrated using conventional methods. Soluble mixtures and polymers can also be removed using conventional methods, such as molecular sieves and ion exchange. The resulting product should be immediately frozen, such as at -70°C, or freeze-dried.
[0137] As used herein, "Pertuzumab" refers to an antibody comprising the light chain and heavy chain variable region amino acid sequences in SEQ ID Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. If Pertuzumab is a complete antibody, it preferably comprises the light chain and heavy chain amino acid sequences in SEQ ID Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.
[0138] The numerical values in this disclosure are instrumental measurements or calculated values after instrumental measurement, and are subject to a certain degree of error. Generally speaking, a value within a reasonable error range of plus or minus 10% is within the reasonable error range. Of course, the context in which the numerical value is used must be considered. For example, the total impurity content, which is a value with an error variation of no more than plus or minus 10% after measurement, can be plus or minus 9%, plus or minus 8%, plus or minus 7%, plus or minus 6%, plus or minus 5%, plus or minus 4%, plus or minus 3%, plus or minus 2%, or plus or minus 1%, preferably plus or minus 5%.

Typically, a therapeutic agent is administered in an amount effective to alleviate one or more disease symptoms in a treated subject or population, by preventing or delaying the onset of symptoms or complications, alleviating symptoms or complications, or eliminating the disease, condition, or disorder to any clinically measurable extent. The amount of a therapeutic agent effective to alleviate any specific disease symptom (also referred to as a "therapeutically effective amount") can vary according to a variety of factors, such as the disease state, age, and weight of the subject, and the ability of the drug to produce the desired therapeutic effect in the subject. Whether the disease symptoms have been alleviated can be evaluated by any clinical test method commonly used by a physician or other health care professional to evaluate the severity or progression of the symptoms. Although the embodiments of the present disclosure (e.g., methods of treatment or articles of manufacture) may not be effective in alleviating the symptoms of the target disease in a subject, they should alleviate the symptoms of the target disease in a statistically significant number of subjects as determined by any statistical test known in the art, such as Student's t-test, chi-square test, U test according to Mann and Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis test (H test), Jonckheere-Terpstra test, and Wilcoxon test.

[0155] The terms "subject" and "patient" refer to mammals, particularly primates, and especially humans.
[0156] Overall survival (OS) is defined as the period from randomization to death from any cause. For subjects alive at the last follow-up, their OS was censored based on the last follow-up visit. For subjects lost to follow-up, their OS was censored based on the last confirmed survival time before loss to follow-up. OS for censored patients was defined as the time from randomization to censoring.
[0157] The objective response rate (ORR) refers to the proportion of patients whose tumor shrinkage reaches a certain level and is maintained for a certain period of time, including both complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). Objective response is assessed using the RECIST 1.1 criteria. Subjects must have measurable tumor lesions at baseline. Response assessment is based on RECIST 1.1 criteria, with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD).
[0158] Disease control rate (DCR) refers to the percentage of confirmed complete remission, partial remission and stable disease (≥8 weeks) among patients who can be evaluated for efficacy.
[0159] Complete remission (CR): All target lesions disappear and the short diameter of all pathological lymph nodes (including target nodules and non-target nodules) must be reduced to <10mm.
[0160] Partial response (PR): The sum of the target lesion diameters decreased by at least 30% compared with the baseline level.
[0161] Disease progression (PD): The minimum value of the sum of all target lesion diameters measured during the entire experimental study is used as a reference, and the relative increase in the diameter sum is at least 20% (if the baseline measurement value is the minimum, the baseline value is used as a reference); in addition, the absolute value of the diameter sum must increase by at least 5 mm (the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered as disease progression).
[0162] Stable disease (SD): The target lesion has not decreased to the level of PR, nor increased to the level of PD, but is somewhere in between. The minimum sum of the diameters can be used as a reference for research. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0174] 3. Test methods and steps
[0175] 1) Drug preparation
[0176] The compound A solution was stored at 4°C. Before use, 0.1 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution was aspirated, 1.9 mL of PBS was added, and the mixture was pipetted and mixed to obtain a homogeneous transparent liquid, thereby obtaining a working solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0177] The compound B solution was stored at 4°C. Before use, 0.1 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution was aspirated and added to 1.9 mL of PBS. The mixture was pipetted and mixed to obtain a homogeneous transparent liquid. This was the working solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0178] Compound I solution was stored at 4°C. Before use:
[0179] Pipette 0.025 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution, add 1.97 mL of PBS, and mix thoroughly with a pipette to obtain a uniform, transparent liquid. This is the working solution with a concentration of 0.25 mg / mL.
[0180] Pipette 0.05 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution, add 1.94 mL of PBS, and mix thoroughly with a pipette to obtain a homogeneous transparent liquid. This is the working solution with a concentration of 0.5 mg / mL.
[0181] Pipette 0.1 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution, add 1.9 mL of PBS, and mix thoroughly with a pipette to obtain a uniform transparent liquid, which is the working solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0182] 2) Construction of mouse subcutaneous transplant tumor model
[0183] Tumor recovery: The JIMT-1 breast cancer tumor mass induced by compound A and compound B with dual drug resistance was removed from liquid nitrogen, quickly placed in a 37°C water bath for recovery, and cut into uniform tumor masses for later use.
[0184] Tumor inoculation: 70 female mice were inoculated with 10 mm tumor subcutaneously in the right upper limb of each experimental mouse. 3 Tumor tissue block. Regularly monitor tumor growth.
[0185] 3) Grouped medication
[0186] 35 days after the inoculation of JIMT-1 breast cancer cells with dual resistance to Compound A and Compound B, 42 tumors with a volume of 69.50-203.79 mm were selected. 3 Mice were randomly divided into six groups of seven animals each using the randomized block method. The day of grouping was designated D0. Dosing was performed twice according to the protocol in Table 1, on D0 and D14. Dissection was performed on D42. Tumor size and animal body weight were measured twice weekly during the experiment. Clinical symptoms were observed and recorded daily. All animals were euthanized after the final dose.
[0187] Table 1. Dosage regimen Note: ip intraperitoneal injection; “ / ” indicates not applicable
[0188] 4) Calculation
[0189] The calculation formula of tumor volume (TV) is: V = L × W 2 / 2. Where L and W represent the measured length and width of the tumor, respectively.
[0190] The relative tumor volume (RTV) was calculated as follows: RTV = Vt / V0, where V0 is the tumor volume measured at the time of dosing, and Vt is the tumor volume at the end of the treatment.
[0191] Relative tumor growth rate T / C (%) = (RTV of drug-treated group / RTV of vehicle group) × 100%.
[0192] Relative tumor change rate ΔT / ΔC (%) = (tumor volume at the end of the drug administration group - tumor volume at the beginning of the drug administration group) / (tumor volume at the end of the vehicle group - tumor volume at the beginning of the vehicle group) × 100%
[0193] Tumor growth inhibition rate TGI% = (1-ΔT / ΔC) × 100%
[0194] Body Weight (BW): The mice were weighed and monitored twice a week. The percentage body weight change (%BWC) was calculated as follows: %BWC = (BWc – BWi) / BWi × 100%, where c represents the current value and i represents the starting value.
[0195] 5) Test results
[0196] i. Effects of the test substance on the body weight of the JIMT-1 nude mouse xenograft tumor model with dual resistance to Compound A and Compound B
[0197] Compared to D0, the average body weight of mice in each group increased on D42 (the day of autopsy). The body weight changes in the control group, Compound A 10 mg / kg, Compound B 10 mg / kg, and Compound I 2.5 mg / kg, 5 mg / kg, and 10 mg / kg groups were 9.39%, 7.53%, 11.68%, 8.10%, 6.48%, and 3.76%, respectively. This indicates that the test drugs were safe. Detailed results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 1.
[0198] Table 2.
[0199] ii. Effects of the test substance on the tumor volume of the JIMT-1 nude mouse xenograft tumor model with dual resistance to Compound B and Compound A
[0200] At D42, the relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI%) of 10 mg / kg Compound A was 17.11%, and the TGI% of 10 mg / kg Compound B was -7.03%, indicating that the model was dual-resistant to Compound B and Compound A. Compound I at 2.5, 5, and 10 mg / kg significantly inhibited the growth of transplanted tumors (P < 0.01), with TGI% of 84.96%, 101.64%, and 113.11%, respectively.
[0201] The above results show that Compound I can significantly inhibit the growth of JIMT-1 breast cancer tumors that are dual-resistant to Compound B and Compound A in a dose-dependent manner. Detailed results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 2.

[0204] At D42, the relative tumor growth rate T / C% of 10 mg / kg compound A was 92.88%, and the relative tumor growth rate T / C% of 10 mg / kg compound B was 103.51%; the relative tumor growth rates T / C% of 2.5, 5, and 10 mg / kg compound I were 32.50%, 12.24%, and 3.92%, respectively.
[0205] These results demonstrate that the tumor inhibition rate calculated based on tumor weight on the day of dissection is consistent with that calculated based on tumor volume. Compound I significantly and dose-dependently inhibits the growth of JIMT-1 breast cancer xenografts in nude mice that are dual-resistant to both Compound B and Compound A. Detailed results are shown in Table 4.
[0206] Table 4.
[0207] 6) Experimental Conclusion
[0208] The results of this experiment showed that in JIMT-1 breast cancer cells that are dual-resistant to both Compound B and Compound A, Compound I can significantly inhibit the growth of JIMT-1 tumors that are dual-resistant to both Compound B and Compound A in a dose-dependent manner.

[0211] (1) Compound I, wherein n=4.1.
[0212] (2) Compound A, wherein k1 = 7.2.
[0213] (3) Compound B, wherein k2 = 6.0.
[0214] 2. Experimental animals: Female Balb / c Nude mice
[0215] 3. Test methods and steps
[0216] 1) Drug preparation
[0217] The compound A solution was stored at 4°C. Before use, 0.1 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution was aspirated, 1.9 mL of PBS was added, and the mixture was pipetted and mixed to obtain a homogeneous transparent liquid, thereby obtaining a working solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0218] The compound B solution was stored at 4°C. Before use, 0.1 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution was aspirated and added to 1.9 mL of PBS. The mixture was pipetted and mixed to obtain a homogeneous transparent liquid. This was the working solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0219] Compound I solution was stored at 4°C. Before use:
[0220] Pipette 0.03 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution, add 1.97 mL of PBS, and mix thoroughly with a pipette to obtain a uniform, transparent liquid. This is the working solution with a concentration of 0.3 mg / mL.
[0221] Pipette 0.06 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution, add 1.94 mL of PBS, and mix thoroughly with a pipette to obtain a uniform, transparent liquid. This is the working solution with a concentration of 0.6 mg / mL.
[0222] Pipette 0.1 mL of the 20 mg / mL stock solution, add 1.9 mL of PBS, and mix thoroughly with a pipette to obtain a uniform transparent liquid, which is the working solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.
[0223] 2) Construction of mouse subcutaneous transplant tumor model
[0224] Tumor recovery: The JIMT-1 breast cancer tumor mass that had been induced to resist drug by two generations of compound B was removed from liquid nitrogen, quickly placed in a 37°C water bath for recovery, and cut into uniform tumor masses for later use.
[0225] Tumor inoculation: 100 female mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 10 mm tumor tissue in the right upper limb of each experimental mouse. 3 Tumor tissue block. Regularly monitor tumor growth.
[0226] 3) Grouped medication
[0227] 35 days after the inoculation of compound B-induced drug-resistant breast cancer JIMT-1, 42 tumors with a volume of 70.3-189.9 mm were selected. 3 Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups of 7 animals each using the randomized block method. The day of grouping was designated as D0. Dosing was performed twice as described in Table 5 on D0 and D14. Dissection was performed on D42. Tumor size and animal body weight were measured twice weekly during the experiment. Clinical symptoms were observed and recorded daily. All animals were euthanized after the final dose.
[0228] Table 5. Dosage regimen Note: ip intraperitoneal injection; “ / ” indicates not applicable
[0229] 4) Calculation
[0230] The calculation formula of tumor volume (TV) is: V = L × W 2 / 2. Where L and W represent the measured length and width of the tumor, respectively.
[0231] The relative tumor volume (RTV) was calculated as follows: RTV = Vt / V0, where V0 is the tumor volume measured at the time of dosing, and Vt is the tumor volume at the end of the treatment.
[0232] Relative tumor growth rate T / C (%) = (RTV of drug-treated group / RTV of vehicle group) × 100%.
[0233] Relative tumor change rate ΔT / ΔC (%) = (tumor volume at the end of the drug administration group - tumor volume at the beginning of the drug administration group) / (tumor volume at the end of the vehicle group - tumor volume at the beginning of the vehicle group) × 100%
[0234] Tumor growth inhibition rate TGI% = (1-ΔT / ΔC) × 100%
[0235] Body Weight (BW): The mice were weighed and monitored twice a week. The percentage body weight change (%BWC) was calculated as follows: %BWC = (BWc – BWi) / BWi × 100%, where c represents the current value and i represents the starting value.
[0236] 5) Test results
[0237] i. Effects of the test substance on the body weight of the JIMT-1 nude mouse xenograft tumor model induced by compound B
[0238] Compared to D0, the average body weight of mice in each group increased on D42 (the day of autopsy). The body weight changes in the control group, Compound B 10 mg / kg, Compound A 10 mg / kg, Compound I 3 mg / kg, 6 mg / kg, and 10 mg / kg groups were 7.06%, 7.68%, 8.46%, 7.84%, 3.74%, and 1.84%, respectively, indicating the good safety of the test drugs. Detailed results are shown in Table 6 and Figure 3.
[0239] Table 6
[0240] ii. Effects of the test substance on the tumor volume of the JIMT-1 nude mouse xenograft tumor model induced by compound B
[0241] At D42, 10 mg / kg of compound B had no inhibitory effect on the tumor (TGI% was 7.62%), indicating that the tumor had developed resistance to compound B; the TGI% of 10 mg / kg of compound A was 30.58%; 3, 6, and 10 mg / kg of compound I could significantly inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors (P<0.001), with TGI% of 109.13%, 115.70%, and 116.01%, respectively, and the efficacy was stronger than 10 mg / kg of compound A.
[0242] The above results show that Compound I can significantly inhibit the growth of JIMT-1 breast cancer xenograft tumors in nude mice that are resistant to Compound B. Detailed results are shown in Table 7 and Figure 4.
[0243] Table 7.
[0244] iii. Effects of the test substance on the weight of JIMT-1 breast cancer xenograft tumors in nude mice induced by compound B
[0245] At D42, the relative tumor growth rate T / C% of 10 mg / kg compound B was 93.53%; the relative tumor growth rate T / C% of 10 mg / kg compound A was 69.24%; the relative tumor growth rates T / C% of 3, 6, and 10 mg / kg compound I were 5.61%, 0.57%, and 0.16%, respectively.
[0246] These results demonstrate that the tumor inhibition rate calculated based on tumor weight on the day of dissection is consistent with that calculated based on tumor volume, demonstrating that Compound I significantly inhibits the growth of JIMT-1 breast cancer xenografts in nude mice that are resistant to Compound B. Detailed results are shown in Table 8.
[0247] Table 8
[0248] 6) Experimental Conclusion
[0249] The results of this experiment showed that in the JIMT-1 nude mouse xenograft tumor model of breast cancer that is resistant to Compound B, Compound I can inhibit tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner, and its anti-tumor activity is significantly better than that of Compound A. Tumor-bearing mice tolerated the test drugs well.
