Abstract
Description
[0001] Cyclic dinucleotides and conjugates thereof with antibodies Field of Art The present disclosure relates to cyclic dinucleotides and their conjugates with antibodies that may be useful in the treatment of diseases in which modulation of STING adaptor protein (STING = Stimulator of Interferon Genes) is beneficial. Background Art The innate immune system recognizes the presence of pathogens or disruptions in host homeostasis through a variety of Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs). These receptors detect a limited set of ligands associated with pathogens or damage, commonly referred to as Pathogen or Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs) (Takeuchi O et al., Cell, 2010:140, 805-820). Over the past three decades, several PRRs have been identified, including Toll-like receptors, retinoic acid-inducible gene (RIG-I)-like receptors, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like (NOD) receptors, C-type lectin receptors, and cytosolic DNA sensors (Brubaker SW et al., Annu Rev Immunol, 2015:33, 257- 290). Recognition of PAMPs and DAMPs by PRRs leads to the upregulation of cytokines and chemokines, including interferons, and recruits immune cells to sites of infection or damage. These processes contribute to the development of antitumoral adaptive immunity. In healthy cells, cellular DNA is typically confined to the nucleus and mitochondria. The presence of DNA in the cytosol is therefore an indicator of either pathogenic activity or disruption in host homeostasis. Cytosolic DNA sensing is initiated by various DNA sensors, such as DNA-dependent activator of IRFs (DAI), cyclic guanosine-adenosine synthase (cGAS), DEAD-box polypeptide 41 (DDX41), and absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) (Unterholzner L, Immunology, 2013: 218, 1312-1321). cGAS serves as the primary sensor of cytosolic DNA; upon DNA binding, it synthesizes a second messenger, cyclic dinucleotide (CDN), called 2'3'-cGAMP (Zhang et al., Molecular Cell, 2013:51, 226– 235). This CDN activates STING (Stimulator Of Interferon Genes, also known as TMEM173, MITA, ERIS), which in turn triggers the expression of type I and III interferons and proinflammatory cytokines via TBK1 / IKK kinases and transcription factors IRF3, STAT6, and NF-kB (Burdette et al., Nature, 2011: 478, 515–518; Motwani et al., Nat Rev Genet, 2019: 20, 657-674). CDNs that have an affinity for STING contain two purine nucleotide monophosphates linked with either two 3′-5′ (3′3′-CDNs), two 2′-5′ (2′2′-CDNs), or a combination of 2′-5′ and 3′-5′ phosphodiester bonds (2′3′-CDNs). The prototype 2'3' cGAMP (c[G(2’,5’)pA(3’,5’)p]) is synthesized by the cGAS enzyme, while 3′3′ cGAMP, 3′3′ c-diAMP, and 3′3′ c-diGMP are produced by bacterial dinucleotide cyclases (Zhang et al., Molecular Cell, 2013:51, 226–235; Novotna et al., Biochemistry, 2021:60, 3714-3727). Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are believed to foster the priming of both cellular and humoral immunity. For instance, type I IFNs, whose expression is triggered by STING activation, have shown promise in the treatment of various human cancers (Cohen et al., N Engl J Med, 2005:353, 2477-2490; Tsao et al., N Engl J Med, 2004:351, 998-1012). They can directly inhibit tumor cell proliferation and demonstrate synergy with many approved anticancer agents. Furthermore, type I IFNs can act on immune cells to trigger antitumor responses (Musella et al., Oncoimmunology, 2017:6, e1314424). In mouse models, type I IFN signaling was found to be essential for tumor-initiated T-cell priming. Animals lacking the IFN-α / β receptor in dendritic cells failed to reject immunogenic tumors and showed defects in antigen cross-presentation to CD8+ T cells (Fuertes et al., J Exp Med, 2011:208, 2005–2016; Diamond et al., J Exp Med, 2011:208, 1989–2003). Consistent with these findings, intratumoral injections of STING agonists have been shown to induce regression of established tumors in mice, generating substantial systemic immune responses capable of rejecting distant metastases and providing long-lasting immunological memory (Corrales et al., Cell Rep, 2015:11, 1018-1030).

In some embodiments, R1 is preferably H. In some embodiments, R1 is preferably F or Cl. In these embodiments, R1 increases the plasma stability of the compounds. Preferably, R3 is selected from C1-C6alkyl (preferably methyl), –(CH2)3-NH-C(O)-NH2. In some preferred embodiments, -K- is -C(O)-(CH2)m-. In some embodiments, m is 1 to 5. In some embodiments, p is 1. In some embodiments, C1-C6alkyl refers to linear or branched saturated alkyl chain. Examples include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl. In some embodiments, „amino acid sidechain“ refers to a side chain of an amino acid, said side chain being preferably selected from CH3–, HN=C(NH2)-NH-(CH2)3–, H2N-CO-CH2–, HOOC-CH2–, HS- CH2–, H2N-CO-(CH2)2–, HOOC-(CH2)2–, H–, CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)–, (CH3)2-CH-CH2–, H2N-(CH2)4–, CH3-S-(CH2)2–, Ph-CH2–, HO-CH2–, CH3-CH(OH)–, HO-Ph-CH2–, (CH3)2-CH–, –(CH2)3-NH-C(O)- In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a compound of formula II, and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates: The compound of formula II is a cyclic dinucleotide bearing one phosphorothioate group and one phosphonothioate group. Within the scope of the invention, cyclic dinucleotides were found to exhibit varying activation abilities for different STING haplotypes. Only a limited number of cyclic dinucleotides exhibited activity against all STING haplotypes identified in humans. Compound of formula II demonstrated a potent activatory activity against all STING haplotypes. Furthermore, it has been found that the activity of antibody-CDN conjugates containing phosphorothio / phosphonothio linkages was significantly improved compared to analogs containing phosphodiester / phosphonoester linkages in vivo. Moreover, it was found that it is advantageous to limit the number of free hydroxy and amino groups on the cyclic dinucleotide to a minimum in order to facilitate the synthesis of CDN conjugates. The compound of formula II complies with all these requirements. In a third aspect, the invention relates to compounds of general formula III and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates, wherein R1, R3, L and K are as defined herein above. The conjugates of formula III contain an active moiety corresponding to the compound of formula II and a linker moiety allowing to bind the active moiety to a targeting carrier such as an antibody. Within the framework of the invention, it was found that binding the linker moiety via the thiol group on phosphorus in the parent compound II leads to a significant decrease in plasma stability of antibody CDN cojugates, and presents challenges in synthesis such as difficult resolution of regiomers and low yields. It is therefore necessary to bind the linker moiety via the adenine base. The linker moieties are designed to allow for the targeting of the active moiety, to provide a sufficient stability of the conjugate and / or to enable a controlled release of the active moiety at the site of action. The linker connects the CDN and the antibody through a covalent linkage. Within the framework of the invention, the linker part is a cleavable linker comprising one or more cleavable elements. Each cleavable element is independently selected from spacer -L- containing a self-immolative linker or carbonyl group; an enzymatically-cleavable peptide linker containing preferably PAB-Cit-Val or PAB- Ala-Val spacer; and linker part -K- containing alkyl and / or PEG spacer which is connected to maleimide group. Maleimide group is typically suitable for a coupling with reactive thiol moieties of antibodies in antibody–drug conjugates. In some preferred embodiments, the invention relates to compounds of formula 3.3-3.10 and 3.13-3.18, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates. 5 5 In a fourth aspect, the invention relates to compounds of formula IV, V or VI, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates, wherein R1, R3, L and K are as defined herein above: (IV), In the compounds of formulas IV, V, VI the active moiety is bound via the linker to an antibody to form an antibody-CDN conjugate. The antibody is bound via its cysteine residue. „-S-antibody“ thus refers to an antibody bound via a cysteine residue. The antibody serves to target the active moiety as desired and / or to increase the therapeutic effect by increasing the amount of the active moiety at the site of the action. It is thus preferred if the target antigen of the antibody is a tumor antigen. It was found that the antibodies significantly improve pharmacokinetic properties of compounds of general formula (II), such as half-life in the organism (half-life in mice is <10 minutes for compounds of general formula (II), and more than 9 days when the compound of general formula (II) is conjugated to antibody via the linker as shown in formulas (IV), (V), (VI)). As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that specifically binds to a particular target antigen. Antibodies may be of human or non-human origin. In some embodiments, the antibodies may be humanized. The antibodies may be polyclonal, monoclonal, genetically engineered, and / or otherwise modified in nature. The antibodies composing the antibody CDN conjugates of the disclosure are suitable for administration to humans, for example, as humanized antibodies or fully human antibodies. Antibodies composing antibody CDN conjugates of the disclosure may be in the form of full-length antibodies that may be of any antibody isotype, or derived from any antibody isotype, including for example, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM, or IgY. In some embodiments, the antibody present in the antibody- CDN conjugates is an IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4). In some embodiments, the antibodies comprise all or a portion of a constant region of an antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a modified Fc region. The antibody is preferably a monoclonal antibody. The antibody is typically bound to the linker via a cysteine residue. The antibody is preferably engineered to contain at least one cysteine in the heavy or light chain portion, preferably at positions 110 (light chain) and 152, 375 (heavy chain, EU numbering). Such modifications are known in the art as Thiomab technology and are described, for example, in WO 2006 / 034488 A2. Antibodies may preferably be conjugated to the compounds of formulas 3.3-3.10 and 3.13-3.18 to form the antibody CDN conjugates of formulas (IV), (V), (VI), respectively. The antibodies present in the antibody-CDN conjugates of formulas (IV), (V) or (VI) as contemplated in the present disclosure specifically bind to one or more cancer related tumor or immune cell associated antigens. Such antibodies or manners of obtaining them are known to a person skilled in the art. The antigens are preferably Her2 (aliases ERBB2, CD340, HER-2, HER-2 / neu), TROP2 (aliases TACSTD2, EGP-1, EGP1, GA733-1, GA7331, GP50, M1S) and FOLR1 (aliases FBP, FOLR, Folate receptor 1, folate receptor alpha).

In a fifth aspect, the invention relates to the compounds of formula (I), (II), (IV), (V) and / or (VI) in the treatment or prevention cancers. Activation of the cGAS-STING pathway induces the expression of type I and III interferons as well as cytokines. This is achieved through the activation of downstream transcription factors, specifically STAT6 and IRF3 via TBK1 kinase, and NF-κB through IKKβ kinase. It is generally believed that this cascade ultimately results in the release of a variety of signaling molecules, including type I and III interferons, as well as cytokines like IL-6, TNF-α. Chemokines such as IP10 and RANTES are also released. The present invention also provides a method to induce a STING adaptor protein-dependent response in humans or animals. This involves administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of formula (I), (II), (IV), (V) and / or (VI), or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or formulation. Consequently, the compound formula (I), (II) and / or the immunoconjugate of formula (IV), (V) and / or (VI), or the cleavage product thereof, has STING agonist activity if it binds to STING and is able to stimulate production of one or more STING-dependent cytokines selected from interferon, type 1 interferon, IFN-^, IFN-β, type 3 interferon, IFNX, IP10, TNF, IL-6, CXCL9, CCL4, CXCL11, CCL5, CCL3, or CCL8.

After that, DCM was evaporated, the crude was diluted with pyridine (20 mL) and added to a stirred solution of 9-((6R,8R,9S,13aR,15R,16R,16aR,17R)-15-(6-amino-9H-purin- 9-yl)-16,17-difluoro-3,11-dimercapto-3,11-dioxidodecahydro-6,9-methanofuro[3,2- m][1,3,6,9,12]pentaoxa[2,10]diphosphacyclopentadecin-8-yl)-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one diTEA salt (0.23 g; 0.26 mmol; Compound 2.2). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at r.t. After that, the reaction mixture was cooled to 4oC and water (2 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was left to warm up to r.t. and evaporated. The crude was dissolved in DMSO (10 mL) and directly loaded on C18 column. The products were purified by reverse phase chromatography (Method P2) as HPLC faster eluting monocarbamate and HPLC slower eluting biscarbamate. The mono and biscarbamate derivatives were evaporated. The biscarbamate derivative was treated with 60 % pyridine in water for 16 h at 55oC affording monocarbamate derivative. Both portions of monocarbamate derivative were collected and lyophilized from dioxane / water (1:1) to yield 0.21 g (72 %). biscarbamate: UPLC-MS (Method A1): Rt = 2.73 min; m / z 1110.6 [M-H]-. monocarbamate: UPLC-MS (Method A1): Rt = 2.11 min; m / z 909.5 [M-H]-. ESI-HRMS calculated for C30H39O13N10F2P2S2(M+H)+911.15773, found 911.15756. Step 2: A mixture of 20 % TFA in DCM (50 mL) and triethylsilane (0.6 mL; 3.8 mmol) was added to monocarbamate derivative (0.21 g; 0.19 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at r.t. and evaporated. The product was purified by reverse phase chromatography (Method P3) and lyophilized from dioxane / water (1:1) to yield 0.11 g (46 %) of Compound 3.1.

Example 4 Activity of cyclic dinucleotides in 293T reporter assay. Methods Digitonin Assay with 293T Reporter Cells. The generation of 293T reporter cells stably expressing different STING protein haplotypes (WT, HAQ, REF, AQ, or Q) was described previously (Novotna et al, J. Med. Chem.2019,62, 10676). The cells were seeded at a density of 250000 cells per cm2into 96 well white poly(D-lysine) coated plates in 100 μL of DMEM with high glucose supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS. Next day, the medium was removed, and compounds were added in 3-fold serial dilutions in a digitonin buffer containing 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.0), 100 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM DTT, 85 mM sucrose, 0.2% (w / w) BSA, 1 mM ATP, 0.1 mM GTP, and 10 μg / mL digitonin A. After 30 min incubation at 37 °C with 5% CO2, the digitonin buffer was removed, cells were washed once with 100 μL of the cultivation medium, and 100 μL of fresh medium was added to each well. The plates with cells were further incubated for 5 h at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Thereafter, 50 μL of the medium was removed, and 30 μL of Bright-Glo Luciferase Assay System reagent was added to each well. Luminescence was measured on Spark (TECAN, Grödig, Austria), and GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, USA) was used to calculate the 50% effective concentration (EC50) from an 8- point dose−response curve. Nonlinear regression curve fit with standard slope was used for EC50value calculations. The EC50value represents CDN concentration that gives half-maximal response of firefly luciferase in the 293T reporter assay. Results It has been previously reported that not all cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) exhibit equipotent activity against all STING haplotypes present in humans (Yi et al, PLoS One (2013), 8 (10), e77846CODEN). To evaluate this phenomenon, we investigated the activity of 2'3' CDNs in a 293T cell line expressing the five major STING haplotypes. In the assay we used the detergent digitonin A to permeabilize cellular membranes. This approach ensures that the uptake of negatively charged CDNs into cells is not a limiting factor in STING activation, thereby allowing us to characterize the inherent potency of cyclic dinucleotides. 2’3’ cyclic dinucleotides containing both adenosine nucleobases (Compounds 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7) had potent activity against WT, HAQ and AQ STING haplotypes, but were much less active against REF haplotype. Considering the synthesis of CDN conjugates, it is beneficial to minimize the number of reactive groups on CDNs. To achieve this, we synthesized CDN 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, utilizing hypoxanthine and adenine as nucleobases. Notably, compounds 2.2 and 2.3 demonstrated excellent activity against all STING haplotypes, including REF haplotype which is found in 13% of humans (Yi et al; PLoS One, 2013, 8: e77846). It is advantageous for CDNs to activate all STING haplotypes because this will avoid the need for genotyping patients and allow for targeting a broader population of patients with CDN therapy. As a result of their promising performance, these compounds 2.2 and 2.3 have were chosen for further evaluation in the context of CDN conjugate synthesis (Table 17).

Protein sequences were translated into DNA using https: / / www.bioinformatics.org / sms2 / rev_trans.html. HindIII cloning site, Kozak’s sequence, secretion signals (L chain and H chain specific) were cloned to 5’ end and two stop codons (usually Ochre and Opal), XhoI cloning site at 3’ end of the open reading frames for L and H chains. HindIII and XhoI restriction sites were selected for unique cloning of DNA cassettes into pTT5 vector. DNA cassette was subjected to the codon optimization for expression in HEK 293 cells except of the selected regions at 5’ and 3’ end (cloning sites, Kozak’s sequence, stop codons). DNA sequences were synthetically prepared by ThermoFisher (Czech Republic). In some cases, cysteine (Cys) mutations were introduced engineered into heavy and / or light chains by the site directed mutagenesis.

(National Research Council Canada) were cultured to a density of 1.5x106cells / ml in 140 ml of CD293 medium supplemented with 4 mM L-Glutamine and 25 μg / ml G418. A day prior to transfection, the cell culture was centrifuged and washed with Freestyle 293 medium. The cells were resuspended in 200 ml of fresh Freestyle 293 medium at a concentration of 1x106cells / ml and transferred into a 1L spinner flask. On the day of transfection, 400 μl of Lipofectamine 2000 in 10 ml of OptiMEM medium was prepared and allowed to incubate at room temperature for 2-5 minutes. In parallel, 140 μg of the expression pTT5 plasmid encoding the light chain and 60 μg of the expression pTT5 plasmid encoding the heavy chain were diluted in 10 ml of OptiMEM medium. This mixture was combined with the Lipofectamine 2000 solution in OptiMEM medium. The resulting mixture was incubated for 5-10 minutes at room temperature and then added to the cell culture. After four hours, 200 ml of Freestyle 293 medium was added to the cells. The cells were subsequently cultured for 10-14 days while monitoring the cell number and viability. To maintain the culture, fresh Freestyle 293 medium was added multiple times. The medium volume on the day of harvest ranged from 800-1000 ml. Cells were separated by centrifugation, and EDTA-free protease inhibitors (Roche) were added to the medium. This medium was then dialyzed against PBS buffer at pH 7.4. The medium containing the monoclonal antibody (mAb) was loaded onto a HiPrep rProtein A column (5 ml, GE Healthcare) pre- equilibrated with PBS at pH 7.4. The column was washed with 10 column volumes (CV) of PBS buffer at pH 7.4, and the mAb was eluted using 0.1 M citrate buffer at pH 3.0. Following pH adjustment to a range of 7-8 using 1 M Tris at pH 8.0, the mAbs were dialyzed against PBS buffer at pH 7.4, sterile- filtered, and stored at -80°C SEQ ID NO: 13, mAb1: Trastuzumab (anti

YEKHKVYACEVTHQGLSSPVTKSFNRGEC Example 5.3 Preparation of antibody CDN conjugates involving anti-Her2 (mAb1, mAb3), anti- TROP2 (mAb5), anti-FOLR1 mAb (mAb6) and anti-HBsAg mAb (isotype mAb) with engineered Cysteine (Cys) mutations Because engineered Cys residues in antibodies expressed in mammalian cells are modified by adducts (disulfides) such as glutathione (GSH) and / or cysteine during biosynthesis, the modified Cys as initially expressed are unreactive to thiol reactive reagents with maleimido group. To conjugate engineered Cys residues, glutathione or cysteine adducts need to be removed by reducing disulfides, which generally entails reducing all disulfides in the antibody. Monoclonal antibody (7-10 mg / ml) in PBS buffer containing 2mM EDTA were reduced overnight with 150-fold molar excess of DTT. Next day, the antibody was diluted with 15 volumes of 20 mM succinate buffer pH 5 and DTT was removed on cation exchanger GE HiTrap SP HP column (5mL) equilibrated in 20 mM succinate buffer pH 5. The column was washed with 10 column volumes of equilibration buffer and antibody was eluted with 50 mM Tris pH 7.5 containing 0.15 M NaCl. Antibody was re-oxidized by adding 15 equivalents of dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA) with re-oxidation being monitored by LC on Agilent, PLRP-S 1000A 8µM 150x2.1mm column. The antibody was loaded on the size exclusion GE HiLoad 26 / 60 Superdex 200 pg column equilibrated in PBS with 2 mM EDTA buffer to remove DHAA. Reduced-oxidized mAb were next incubated with 8 molar protein equivalents of a CDN conjugate for 3 hours at room temperature. The conjugation was quenched by adding 8 equivalents of Cys and ADC was further purified using SEC Superdex 200 Increase 10 / 300 GL equilibrated in PBS buffer. Antibody CDN conjugates were profiled by MS and analytical SEC as described below. Drug antibody ratio (DAR) ranged between 3.5 to 3.9. Example 5.4 Generation of anti-HER2 and anti-TROP2 antibody CDN conjugates through partial reduction of native disulfide bonds of non-engineered anti-HER2 (mAb2) and anti-TROP2 (mAb4) monoclonal antibodies The compounds of the invention can also be conjugated to native cysteine residues of non-engineered antibodies using a procedure that involves partial reduction of the antibodies (Doronina, S. O. et al„ Nat. Biotechnol.21, 778-784, 2003). Interchain disulfides bonds of anti-HER2 mAb2 and anti-TROP2 mAb4 (at a concentration of 7-10 mg / ml) were first partially reduced in PBS pH 7.4 containing 2 mM EDTA by adding 2-8 equivalents of TCEP and incubating the mixture at 37°C for 2 hours. Next, the antibody reacted for two hours at RT with 8 equivalents of a CDN-conjugate. The conjugation was quenched with 8 equivalents of Cys and ADC was purified using SEC Superdex 200 Increase 10 / 300 GL equilibrated in PBS buffer. Antibody CDN conjugates were profiled by MS and analytical SEC as described below. Drug antibody ratios for different ADC are shown in Tables 18 and 19. Example 5.5 Characterization of the anti-HER2, anti-TROP2, anti-FOLR1 and anti-HBsAg antibody CDN-conjugates Antibody CDN-conjugates were analyzed to determine the extent of conjugation. A compound-to- antibody ratio was extrapolated from LC-MS data for reduced samples. LC-MS allows quantitation of the average number of molecules of linker-payload attached to an antibody in a conjugate sample. Mass spectral data enables identification of the component species in the mixture, e.g., LC, LC+1, LC+2, HC, HC+1, HC+2, etc. From the average loading on the LC and HC chains, the average compound to antibody ratio can be calculated for an antibody conjugate. A compound-to-antibody ratio for a given conjugate sample represents the average number of compound (linker-payload) molecules attached to a tetrameric antibody containing two light chains and two heavy chains. The samples were reduced with 40 mM TCEP or 5.5 mM DTT, injected onto a MassPREP Micro Desalting column (20 μm, 5-mm by 2.1-mm ID, Waters) equilibrated in 0.1% formic acid (FA) in H2O and eluted by a fast gradient (4min) to 0.1% FA in acetonitrile. The separation was carried out by AQUITY UPLC I-Class system (Waters) and was on-line coupled to Mass Spectrometer Synapt G2 (Waters) to acquire mass spectra using electrospray ionization in positive mode. The TOF mass range was set from m / z 500 to 4000. The raw spectrum was subtracted and deconvoluted (MaxEnt 1, Waters) to produce the final spectrum. Conjugates were profiled using analytical size-exclusion chromatography on Superdex 200 equilibrated in PBS pH7.4; aggregation was analyzed based on analytical size exclusion chromatography. Example 6 In vivo testing of anti-HER2 mAb1 conjugated with compounds 3.4 or 3.11 in Her2 expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenograft model Methods Compounds 3.4 and 3.11 were attached to engineered C152 and C375 on the heavy chain of anti-Her2 mAb1. For in vivo testing in the Her2 expressing HCC1954 breast cancer xenograft mouse model, female SCID-beige mice at 8 to 12 weeks of age (purchased from Charles River Lab) were used for implantation. HCC1954 cells (obtained from ATCC) were cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2.On the day of implantation, 1 x 107HCC1954 cells were re-suspended in 100^L RPMI1640 serum free media containing 50% Matrigel and implanted subcutaneously in the right flank. After implant, tumors were measured by caliper and mice were weighed two times per week once tumors were palpable. Tumor volumes were calculated from caliper measurements using formula (L x W2) / 2. Animals were pair matched when tumor reached volume 100 - 150 mm³ (designated as day 1). Two i.v. injections were performed on day 1 and 8 (D1 and D8) of 5mg / kg of anti-Her2 mAb1-3.4 (DAR 3.9), 5mg / kg mAb1-3.11 (DAR 3.9), 5mg / kg isotype mAb-3.4 (DAR 3.9), 5mg / kg anti-Her2 mAb1 or PBS vehicle. Results HCC1954 breast tumor xenograft mice were treated intravenously with two doses (on day one and eight) of anti-HER2 mAb1-3.4 and mAb1-3.11 conjugate, unconjugated mAb1, and isotype mAb-3.4 (6 mice per group). Treatment with anti-HER2 mAb1-3.4 led to complete regression of human HCC1954 xenograft tumors (Fig.1). Tumor regression was not observed in mice treated with isotype control mAb- 3.4 or un-conjugated mAb1 (Fig.1). Surprisingly, anti-HER2 mAb1-3.11 exhibited only a partial tumor growth inhibition even though the payload CDN 2.3 present in compound 3.11 had similar potency in STING 293 digitonin reporter assay as payload CDN 2.2 present in compound 3.4 (Table 17). The treatments were well tolerated by all animals. These data demonstrate unexpected advantage of CDN payload 2.2 over 2.3 and its ability to induce tumor regression in HER2-expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenografts when conjugated to anti- HER2 mAb1 using compound 3.4. Notably, the isotype control mAb-3.4 showed no activity, underscoring the specificity of the treatment. Example 7 Effect of intratumoral injection of the compound 2.2 on tumor growth, induction of tumor specific CD8 T cells and immunological memory The CT26 mouse colon carcinoma cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC®, CRL-2638). The cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 100 units / mL penicillin G sodium, and 100 μg / mL streptomycin sulfate at 37oC in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. On the day of tumor implantation in ten-week-old female BALB / c mice (Charles River Laboratories), CT26 cells harvested during the exponential growth phase were resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at a concentration of 1 x 107cells / mL. Tumors were initiated by subcutaneous implantation of 1 x 106CT26 cells (in a 0.1 mL suspension) into the right flank of each test animal. Tumor dimensions were measured in two directions, and tumor volumes were calculated using the formula (L x W2) / 2. Animals were pair matched when tumor reached volume 100 - 150 mm³ (designated as day 1) and injected intratumorally (i.t.) on day 1, 4 and 8 with 5mg / kg or 1.5mg / kg Compound 2.2 or PBS in total volume 20 µL. The induction of tumor specific AH1+ CD8 T cells was monitored in response to Compound 2.2 treatment. Blood immune cells were collected on day 14 and red blood cells were lysed using red blood cell lysis buffer. Immune cells were immunophenotyped using viability dye (Zombie NIR Fixable Viability Kit, BioLegend) and monoclonal antibodies: BUV395 rat anti-mouse CD19, BUV395 hamster anti-mouse CD49b, APC hamster anti-mouse CD3, BV605 rat anti-mouse CD4, BV510 rat anti-mouse CD8, (all BD Biosciences). Specific staining using MHC-I dextramer: PE labelled AH1 peptide (SPSYVYHQF, Immudex) was performed according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. Specific and control samples of unstained cells, positive control for dead cells (cells in PBS incubated for 10 min at 65 °C and further stained with a live / dead marker), fluorescence minus one (FMO) and isotype controls (ISO) were prepared. Samples were measured immediately without a fixation step in a single tube format using BD LSRFortessa flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) in 250 µl of FC buffer (PBS containing 5% FBS). Data was acquired using FACS Diva software (version 8.0.1, BD Biosciences). Debris was excluded by forward and side scatter gating followed by doublet and dead cell exclusion. The population of interest was gated as AH1+ CD8+ T cells, specifically CD19- CD49b- CD3+ CD4- CD8+ AH1+ cells. The data were analyzed using FlowJo software (version 10, BD Biosciences) and expressed as a frequency (%) of parent population, i.e. CD3+ T cells. Induction of antitumoral immunologic memory was monitored using ten animals from above mentioned 1.5mg / kg CT26 efficacy study which were tumor free on day 65. The animals were split equally into two groups (five animals per group) and treated intraperitoneally with 0.4 mL (250 ^g / mL in PBS) of isotype mAb (BXC-BP0090, BioXCell) or anti CD8 T cell mAb (BXC-BP0061, BioXCell) four and three days before and three days after 1 x 106CT26 cells (in a 0.1 mL suspension) were implanted into the left flank of animals (day when cell were implanted is designated as day 1). Efficiency of CD8 T cell depletion was monitored by flow-cytometry on day 3 post first i.p. of mAbs. In parallel, naïve Balb / c mice were implanted with the same number of cells into the left flank. Tumors were measured in two dimensions and tumor volumes were calculated from caliper measurements using formula (L x W2) / 2 to monitor growth. Results Twelve and ten out twelve tumor bearing animals treated intratumorally with 5mg / kg or 1.5mg / kg Compound 2.2 were tumor free on day 65 post first application of the compound (Fig 2). This contrasted with all animals treated with vehicle succumbing to the disease by day 40. Animals treated with Compound 2.2 also had statistically significantly increased frequency of tumor specific CD8 T cell recognizing AH1 peptide presented on MHC-1 compared to the vehicle arm (Fig 2). Finally, when the animals previously cured in the efficacy study were rechallenged with CT26 cells, they rejected the implants if they were pretreated with the isotype mAb. Conversely, the kinetics of CT26 tumor growth in the cured animals in which CD8 T-cells were depleted were comparable to that of naive animals (Fig. 2). This data indicated that animals cured with Compound 2.2 developed CD8 T cell dependent adaptive antitumoral immunity. All together the presented data show that Compound 2.2 can induce robust antitumoral effect and antitumoral adaptive immunity in vivo when applied i.t. Example 8 In vitro and in vivo stability of antibody-CDN conjugates In vitro plasma stability of ADC was performed by spiking mouse plasma with antibody-CDN conjugates (final concentration 100µg / mL). Samples were incubated in a 37°C incubator with 5% CO2, aliquots were taken at various time points and stored frozen for analysis. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the antibody-CDN conjugates were studied following i.v. injection of 1 to 5 mg / kg ADCs into Balb / c, SCID Beige or CD1 mice. Serum samples were taken at various time points and stored frozen for analysis. Plasma levels of cytokines were determined using ProcartaPlex Immunoassays following manufacture’s protocol and measured on MagPix instrument. The total level of the human antibodies or antibody conjugates in plasma samples was measured by immunoassays. The capture was performed with F(ab')2-Goat anti-Human IgG Fc (Invitrogen cat # A24478) and detection with goat anti Human IgG F(ab) FITC (Invitrogen cat # 31628). Payload CDN 2.2 retention on mAbs was studied by LC-MS. Briefly, 25µL of plasma samples were incubated with biotinylated anti-human Fcγ fragment mAb (final concetration 0.18mg / mL, Jackson ImmunoResearch cat # 109-065-098) for 30 min and then mixed with 30 ^L Dynabead MyOne Streptavidin T1 (Invitrogen cat # 65604D) and 70 ^L PBS. After 1 hour incubation, the beads were separated on a magnet, washed with PBS containing 0.05% Tween20, PBS and water, and ADCs were eluted in the presence of 0.2% of formic acid in water. Eluate was neutralized by adding ammonium formate (400mM final concentration) and ADCs were reduced with TCEP (40mM final concentration) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Samples were then measured by LC-MS and analyzed for compound-to-antibody ratio as described above. Pharmacokinetics of Compound 2.2 applied I.V. at dose 5mg / kg was determined in Balb / c mice. Plasma samples were precipitated with methanol (final concetration 70%) spiked with internal standard, the precipited proteins were removed by centrigugation and supernatant was evaporated. The analytes were dissolved in 100 µL of 10 mM CH3COONH4by vortexing for 5 min. Compound 2.2 along with the corresponding internal standard were separated and detected using a liquid chromatograph Exion LC AD with tandem mass spectrometer QTrap 6500+ (both Sciex) equipped with a separation column Acquity BEH C181.7 µm, 50 × 2.1 mm, as well as a guard column 1.7 µm C18, 5 × 2.1 mm (both Waters). The mobile phase (A) used for separation consisted of 10 mM CH3COONH4in deionized water, while mobile phase (B) was composed of 10 mM CH3COONH4in methanol. The separation was carried out by using the following gradient: 0 – 2 min of 5% B, 2 – 10 min of 90% B, 10 – 15 min of 90% B, 15 – 15.1 min of 5% B, and 15.1 – 20 min of 5% B with a flow rate of 0.2 mL / min. Analytes were monitored through their specific multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions by utilizing electrospray ionization (ESI) in a positive mode with the following parameters: 50 msec dwell time, entrance potential 10 V, ion source temperature 350°C, ion spray voltage 5.5 kV, curtain gas (40 psi), GS1 gas (50 psi), and GS2 gas (50 psi). Quantification of Compound 2.2 was conducted using a weighted calibration curve (1 / x²) with a structurally similar internal standard. Results Various antibody CDN conjugates were prepared by attaching compounds to anti Her2 mAb2 via interchain cysteines as described above and their retention on mAb2 was assessed in mouse plasma in vitro. Anti Her2 mAb2-3.4, mAb2-3.6, mAb2-3.5 had moderate retention of the CDN warhead compound 2.2 (T1 / 27-8 days). Importantly, compound 3.19, in which the linker is attached to the warhead CDN 2.2 via sulfur, was quite unstable (T1 / 24 days) when attached to mAb2. On the contrary, attachment of compounds 3.3, 3.7, and 3.8 to anti Her2 mAb2 was stable over period up to 15 days (Fig. 3, Table 18). In conclusion, it is disadvantegous to perfom attachment of the warhead CDN 2.2 and the linker via thiophosphate group.

As shown in Table 19 and Figure 4, with exemption of compound 3.13 all compounds had an excellent retention on anti-TROP2 mAb5. Unexpectedly, substitution of para-amino benzyl group of compound 3.13 with 2-F, 2-Cl, and 3-F groups resulted in improved plasma stability of antibody-CDN conjugates (compounds 3.16, 3.17, and 3.18).

These animals received a single intravenous bolus injection of antibody-CDN conjugates at doses of 1.5 mg / kg (mAb5-3.13) and 5 mg / kg (mAb2-3.4, mAb2-3.3, mAb5-3.3), respectively. Blood samples were collected from the treated animals at various time points, and plasma was stored frozen for subsequent analysis. Warhead CDN 2.2 retention on anti-HER2 mAb2 and anti-TROP2 mAb5 was quantified using immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis, as described above. The half-life for the warhead retention with compound 3.3 attached to both monoclonal antibodies exceeded 10 days. In line with impaired stability observed in mouse plasma in vitro (Table 18 and 19), compound 3.4 attached to anti-HER2 mAb2 had a half-life of approximately 3.7 days, while compound 3.13 conjugated to anti-TROP2 mAb5 exhibited a half-life of approximately 12 days (Fig. 5). Lastly, we evaluated the pharmacokinetics of Compound 2.2 in Balb / c mice treated with 5mg / kg i.v (Fig 5). Compound 2.2 exhibited efficient clearance with a half-life of less than 10 minutes, highlighting the advantage of conjugating Compound 2.2 to a monoclonal antibody via a linker for improved pharmacokinetics. Example 9 Activation of the STING pathway in HCC1954 and 293T STING reporter cells with antibody-CDN conjugates HCC1954 and 293T reporter cells were cultured as previously described. HCC1954 cells, which naturally express both Her2 and TROP2, were seeded into collagen-coated 96-well plates at a density of 0.5x106cells / ml (100 µl / well) in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FBS and Penicillin / Streptomycin. The following day, the medium was completely removed, and serial dilutions of mAb2-CDN and mAb5-CDN conjugates in medium were added to the wells. Levels of the STING- dependent cytokine IP10 (CXCL10) induction were determined in the medium using ProcartaPlex Immunoassays after 24 hours of incubation following the manufacturer's protocol and measured on a MagPix instrument. GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, USA) was utilized to calculate the 50% effective concentration (EC50) from a 6-point dose-response curve. Nonlinear regression curve fitting was applied for EC50value calculations. The EC50value represents the concentration of the payload CDN 2.2 conjugated to anti-Her2 mAb2 or anti-TROP2 mAb5 that results in half-maximal levels of IP-10. Twenty million 293T WT STING reporter cells were seeded into two T150 flasks, each containing 30 mL of DMEM with high glucose supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS. One flask was designated for transfected cells, and the other served as a non-transfected control. After 24 hours, the cell culture medium was replaced with 27 mL of fresh media. For the transfection process, a transfection mixture was prepared for each T150 flask. In one tube, 1500 μL of OptiMedium was combined with 40 μg of Her2 or TROP2 expression plasmid and 45 μL of Reagent P3000. In another tube, 1500 μL of OptiMedium was mixed with 45 μL of Lipofectamine 3000. The contents of these two tubes were then combined, and after a 10-minute incubation, the mixture was added to the cells. After 24 hours, the cell culture medium was aspirated, and the cells were washed with PBS and detached using trypsin-EDTA. Following trypsin inactivation with medium, the cells were centrifuged at 200g for 5 minutes. A total of 0.1 million cells were collected for control flow cytometry to confirm TROP2 or Her2 expression. For the antibody-CDN conjugate experiments, 25,000 cells in 50 μL were seeded into half-area 96-well plates coated with poly-lysine-D and incubated overnight. The next morning, the cell culture medium was aspirated, and the Her2 or TROP2 expressing cells were treated with 30 μL of serially diluted anti- Her2 mAb2-CDN-conjugates or anti-TROP2 mAb5-CDN conjugates, respectively. Furthermore, cells were also treated with compound 2.2, isotype mAb-CDN conjugates, or unconjugated mAb2 or mAb5. After 7-hour incubation, 20 μL of medium and 30 μL of BrightGlo per well were added, and the plates were placed on an orbital shaker (500 RPM, room temperature) for 5 minutes. A 50 μL mixture was transferred to white 96-well plates, and luminescence was measured using a TECAN reader. EC50values were calculated from an 8-point dose-response curve using GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, USA) with nonlinear regression curve fitting. The EC50represents the concentration of the payload CDN 2.2 conjugated to anti-Her2 mAb2 or anti-TROP2 mAb5 that results in half-maximal levels of luminescence. Results As evident from Table 18 and 19, the anti-HER2 and anti-TROP2 antibody-CDN conjugates effectively elicited the expression of the STING-dependent cytokine IP-10 in HCC1954 cells. Notably, the attachment of the warhead CDN compound 2.2 to both mAb2 and mAb5 resulted in a nearly three- order-of-magnitude reduction in the EC50values compared to cells treated with free compound 2.2. Similarly, in 293T STING reporter cells transiently expressing either TROP2 or HER2, mAb2 and mAb5 CDN conjugates exhibited significantly lower EC50values than the warhead CDN compound 2.2. It's important to emphasize that isotype ADCs or unconjugated mAb2 or mAb5 failed to induce IP-10 or luciferase in these assays (Table 18 and 19). In summary, these findings strongly underscore the advantages of conjugating the disclosed CDN compound 2.2 to tumor-targeted monoclonal antibodies. Moreover, they demonstrate that compound 2.2 and its conjugates, when attached to tumor-targeted mAbs, induce a STING adaptor protein- dependent response, and stimulate the production of STING-dependent cytokine IP10. Example 10 Comparative analysis of in vivo plasma cytokine induction by anti-Her2 mAb2 conjugated with compound 3.3 at the inter-chain Cys sites vs. anti-HER2 mAb3 conjugated with compound 3.3 at engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 sites Compound 3.3 was conjugated to the engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-Her2 mAb (mAb3) as described above (mAb3-3.3). Furthermore, the compound was also conjugated to anti- Her2 mAb (mAb2) via inter-chain Cys (mAb2-3.3). A single intravenous injection of 5 mg / kg mAb2- 3.3 (DAR 3.8) and 5 mg / kg mAb3-3.3 (DAR 3.6) was administered to Balb / C mice via tail vein injection. Blood samples were collected from the injected animals at 2, 4, 8, and 20 hours post-injection, and plasma cytokines were measured using multiplex ELISA (Luminex). Results Mice injected with anti-Her2 mAb2-3.3, in which conjugation was done via inter-chain Cys, induced higher levels of plasma cytokines (Fig. 6). Surprisingly, the peak levels of cytokines induced by anti- Her2 mAb3-3.3 in which conjugation was performed to engineered Cys were significantly lower. It can be advantageous to have an antibody-CDN conjugate that induces lower plasma levels of cytokines, as high levels of circulating cytokines can potentially lead to a severe inflammatory response, causing damage to tissues and organs, and possibly leading to multiple organ failure and death (Tisoncik et al; Microbiol. Mol. Biol. Rev.2012, 76:16) Therefore, it is beneficial to conjugate warhead CDN compound 2.2 to the engineered light chain 110 and heavy chain 375 cysteines. Example 11 Comparative analysis of in vivo plasma cytokine induction by anti-TROP2 mAb4 conjugated with Compound 3.3 at the inter-chain Cys sites vs. anti-TROP2 mAb5 conjugated with Compound 3.3 at engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 sites Compound 3.3 was conjugated to anti-TROP2 mAb4 via inter-chain Cys and to the engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-TROP2 mAb5, as described above. A single intravenous injection of 5mg / kg anti-TROP2 mAb4-3.3 (DAR 3.8), 5mg / kg anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 (DAR 3.8), 5mg / kg unconjugated anti-TROP2 mAb5, and 1.7mg / kg warhead CDN compound 2.2 were administered to Balb / C mice via tail vein injection. Blood samples were collected from the injected animals at 2, 4, 8, and 20 hours post-injection, and plasma cytokines were measured using multiplex ELISA (Luminex). Results Mice injected with anti-TROP2 mAb4-3.3, where conjugation was done via inter-chain Cys, induced high levels of plasma cytokines (Fig. 7). Similarly, the payload CDN compound 2.2, injected at a dose that only weakly inhibited tumor growth (see Compound 2.2, Fig. 8), also induced high plasma levels of cytokines (Fig. 7). In contrast, the peak levels of cytokines induced by anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3, with conjugation performed to engineered Cys, were significantly lower. Having an antibody-CDN conjugate that induces lower plasma levels of cytokines can be advantageous, as high levels of circulating cytokines can potentially lead to a severe inflammatory response, causing damage to tissues and organs, and possibly leading to multiple organ failure and death (Tisoncik et al; Microbiol. Mol. Biol. Rev.2012, 76:16). Therefore, it is beneficial to conjugate warhead CDN 2.2 to the engineered light chain 110 and heavy chain 375 cysteines. Example 12 Activity of anti-HER2 mAb3 conjugated with Compound 3.3 to light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 in Her2 expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenograft model Compound 3.3 was conjugated to the engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-Her2 mAb (mAb3), as described earlier. An animal study was conducted using a Her2-expressing HCC1954 breast cancer xenograft mouse model as described above. Animals were pair-matched when the tumor reached a volume of 100 - 150 mm³ (designated as day 1). For in vivo testing of the anti-Her2 mAb3- 3.3 (DAR 3.8), single intravenous doses of 2.5, 1, and 0.3 mg / kg were administered on day 1. Unconjugated mAb3 and isotype mAb-3.3 (DAR 3.8) were administered at a single intravenous dose of 2.5 mg / kg. The payload CDN compound 2.2 was tested using a single intravenous dose of 1.7 mg / kg. Results HCC1954 breast tumor xenograft mice treated intravenously with anti-HER2 mAb3-3.3, at doses of 2.5 and 1 mg / kg, achieved complete regression of HCC1954 tumors (Fig.8). Tumor growth inhibition was observed when a dose of 0.3 mg / kg of anti-Her2 mAb3-3.3 was used. In contrast, tumor regression was not observed in mice treated with 2.5 mg / kg of unconjugated mAb3 or isotype mAb-3.3 ADC (Fig. 8). Payload CDN compound 2.2, injected at a 40x higher dose than in the 2.5 mg / kg anti-Her2 mAb3-3.3 treatment, only triggered tumor growth inhibition. These data demonstrate that that conjugation of the warhead CDN 2.2 to tumor targeted mAb3 is highly advantegous and that tumor regression in HER2-expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenografts can be achieved through treatment with anti-HER2 mAb3-3.3 when conjugation is performed with the light chain C110 and heavy chain C375. Example 13 Activity of anti-TROP2 mAb5 conjugated with Compound 3.3 to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 in TROP2 expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenograft model Compound 3.3 was conjugated to the engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-TROP2 mAb (mAb5), following the previously described method. An animal study was conducted using a TROP2-expressing HCC1954 breast cancer xenograft mouse model, with animals being pair-matched when the tumor reached a volume of 100 - 150 mm³ (designated as day 1). They were then injected with a single intravenous dose of 2.5 or 1 mg / kg of the anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 conjugate (DAR 3.6), 2.5 mg / kg of isotype mAb-3.3 conjugate (DAR 3.8), 5 mg / kg of mAb5, or PBS vehicle. Results As depicted in Fig. 9, the administration of 2.5 mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 resulted in tumor regression, and treatment with 1 mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 led to the tumor growth inhibition of human breast cancer tumors expressing TROP2. In contrast, unconjugated anti-TROP2 mAb5 and isotype mAb-3.3 had no discernible effect on tumor growth. These results demonstrate that tumor regression can be achieved in TROP2-expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenografts through treatment with anti-TROP2 mAb5-VAP-2218 when conjugation is executed with light chain C110 and heavy chain C375. Example 14 Activity of anti-TROP2 mAb5 conjugated with Compound 3.3 to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 in TROP2 expressing Bx-PC3 prostate tumor xenograft model Compound 3.3 was conjugated to the engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-TROP2 mAb (mAb5), following the previously described method. The Bx-PC3 human pancreatic carcinoma cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC®, CRL-1687™) and maintained in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 100 units / mL penicillin G sodium, 100 μg / mL streptomycin sulfate, 25 μg / mL gentamicin, 10 mM HEPES, 0.075% sodium bicarbonate, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. The tumor cells were grown in tissue culture flasks in a humidified incubator set at 37oC and an atmosphere of 5% CO2and 95% air. On the day of tumor implantation to female CB.17 SCID mice (Charles River Laboratories), the Bx-PC3 cells were harvested during the exponential growth phase and resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and 50% Matrigel™ (BD Biosciences) mixture at 1 x 108cells / mL concentration. Tumors were initiated by subcutaneous implantation of 1 x 107Bx-PC3 cells (in a 0.1 mL suspension) into the right flank of each test animal. Tumors were measured in two dimensions and tumor volumes were calculated from caliper measurements using formula (L x W2) / 2. Animals were pair matched when tumor reached volume 100 - 150 mm³ (designated as day 1) and injected with a single I.V. dose of 5mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5- 3.3 conjugate (DAR 3.6), 5mg / kg isotype mAb-3.3 conjugate (DAR 3.8), 5mg / kg mAb5 or PBS vehicle on day 1. Results As illustrated in Fig. 10, the administration of 5 mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 resulted in tumor regressions, while unconjugated anti-TROP2 mAb5 and isotype mAb-3.3 did not exhibit any impact on tumor growth. These findings indicate that tumor regression can be attained in TROP2-expressing Bx-PC3 pancreas tumor xenografts through treatment with anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 when conjugation is carried out using light chain C110 and heavy chain C375. Example 15 Activity of anti-TROP2 mAb5 conjugated with Compound 3.3 to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 in TROP2 expressing Colo205 colon tumor xenograft model Compound 3.3 was conjugated to the engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-TROP2 mAb (mAb5), following the previously described method. The COLO-205 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC®, CCL-222™) and maintained in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 10 mM HEPES, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 4.5g / L glucose. The tumor cells were grown in tissue culture flasks in a humidified incubator set at 37oC and an atmosphere of 5% CO2and 95% air. On the day of tumor implantation, the COLO205 cells were harvested during the exponential growth phase and resuspended in 50% Geltrex™ (ThermoFisher; A14132-02) prepared in Dulbecco’s Phosphate - Buffered Saline (DPBS) at 6 x 107cells / mL concentration. Tumors were initiated by subcutaneous implantation of 3 x 106COLO205 cells (in a 0.1 mL suspension) into the right flank of female CD-1 nude mice (CR - Crl:CD1-Foxn1nu). Tumors were measured in two dimensions and tumor volumes were calculated using formula (L x W2) / 2. Animals were pair matched when tumor volumes reached 80-140 mm3(designated as day 1) and injected with a single i.v. dose of 5mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 (DAR 3.6), 5mg / kg isotype mAb-VAP-3.3 (DAR 3.8), 5mg / kg mAb5 or PBS vehicle. Results As depicted in Fig. 11, the administration of 5 mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 resulted in tumor regressions, while unconjugated anti-TROP2 mAb5 and isotype mAb-3.3 did not exhibit any effect on tumor growth. These findings demonstrate that tumor regression can be achieved in TROP2-expressing Colo205 colon tumor xenografts through treatment with anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 when conjugation is performed using light chain C110 and heavy chain C375. Example 16 Intratumoral cytokines induced in TROP2 positive HCC1954 mouse model treated with anti-TROP2 mAb5 conjugated with Compound 3.3 to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 Compound 3.3 was conjugated to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-TROP2 mAb (mAb5) as described previously. For in vivo testing in the TROP2 expressing HCC1954 breast cancer xenograft mouse model, female CD-1 Nude (CR - Crl:CD1-Foxn1nu) immunodeficient outbred mice (Charles River Laboratories) at 9 to 10 weeks of age were used. HCC1954 cells (ATCC®, CRL- 2338™) were cultivated in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 10 mM HEPES, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 4.5g / L glucose. The cells were grown in a humidified incubator set at 37oC and an atmosphere of 5% CO2and 95% air. On the day of tumor implantation, the HCC1954 cells were harvested during the exponential growth and resuspended in 50% Geltrex™ (ThermoFisher; A14132-02) prepared in Dulbecco’s Phosphate - Buffered Saline (DPBS) at 1 x 107cells / mL. Tumors were initiated by subcutaneous implantation of 1 x 106HCC1954 cells (in a 0.1 mL suspension) into the right flank of each test animal. Tumors were measured in three dimensions using digital calipers to monitor growth. Animals were pair-matched when tumor volumes reached 80-140 mm3and injected with a single i.v. dose of 5mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 (DAR 3.6), 5mg / kg isotype mAb-3.3 (DAR 3.8), 5mg / kg mAb5 or PBS vehicle. Tumors were collected 20 h post i.v., and immediately stored in RNAprotect® Tissue Reagent (Qiagen) untill further processing. Tissue was homogenized using Polytron homogenizer (Kinematica) and total RNA was isolated using RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen). Relative expression of mouse and human cytokines was measured by using Luna Universal One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (Promega) according to the manufacturer protocol. qRT-PCR was run on Light Cycler 480 II (Roche) with annealing time 60oC for all tested primers.

Treatment with anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 (Fig. 12) resulted in statistically significant overexpression of mouse INF^, IL6, RANTES and IP-10 and human IP10 and RANTES compared to controls. This data show that anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 can selectively deliver warhead CDN compound 2.2 to the tumor tissue. Moreover, they demonstrate that anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 induce a STING adaptor protein- dependent response, and stimulate the production of STING-dependent cytokines in vivo. Example 17 Activity of anti-HER2 mAb3 conjugated with Compound 3.13 to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 in Her2 expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenograft model Compound 3.13 was conjugated to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-Her2 mAb (mAb3) as described above. For in vivo testing in the HCC1954 breast cancer xenograft mouse model, female SCID-beige mice at 8 to 12 weeks of age (purchased from Charles River Lab) were used for implantation. HCC1954 cells (obtained from ATCC) were cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. On the day of implantation, 1 x 107HCC1954 cells were re-suspended in 100^L RPMI1640 serum free media containing 50% Matrigel and implanted subcutaneously in the right flank. After implant, tumors were measured by caliper and mice were weighed two times per week once tumors were palpable. Tumors were measured in two dimensions and tumor volumes were calculated from caliper measurements using formula (L x W2) / 2. Animals were pair matched when tumor reached volume 100 - 150 mm³ (designated as day 1) and injected with single I.V dose 1, 0.4 and 0.2 mg / kg anti-Her2 mAb3-3.13 (DAR 3.8), 1mg / kg isotype mAb-3.13 (DAR 3.8), and PBS vehicle. Results Treatment with single dose 1, 0.4 and 0.2 mg / kg anti-Her2 mAb3-3.13 led to regression of human HCC1954 xenograft tumors (Fig.13). Tumor regression was not observed in mice treated with 1 mg / kg of isotype mAb-3.13 ADC (Fig.13). These data show that tumor regression can be achieved in Her2 expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenograft by treatment with anti-Her2 mAb3-3.13. Surprisingly, mAb3-3.13 achieved tumor regression at dose 0.2mg / kg whereas mAb3-3.3 triggered only tumor growth inhibition at dose 0.3mg / kg (Fig 8) even though both conjugates contain the same warhead CDN 2.2. Therefore, it may be advantageous to exclude the self-immolative N-methylethanolamine part from the linker of the conjugate. Example 18 Activity of anti-TROP2 mAb5 conjugated with Compound 3.13 to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 in TROP2 expressing HCC1954 breast tumor xenograft model Compound 3.13 was conjugated to engineered light chain C110 and heavy chain C375 of anti-TROP2 mAb5 as described above. For in vivo testing in the HCC1954 breast cancer xenograft mouse model, female SCID-beige mice at 8 to 12 weeks of age (purchased from Charles River Lab) were used for implantation.

Animals were pair matched when tumor reached volume 100 - 150 mm³ (designated as day 1) and injected with a single i.v. dose 1 and 0.4 mg / kg anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.13 (DAR 3.6), 5mg / kg unconjugated mAb5 or 1mg / kg isotype mAb-3.13 (DAR 3.8). Results As depicted in Fig.14, treatment with 1 and 0.4 mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.13 induced regressions of the human breast cancer tumors whereas un-conjugated anti-TROP2 mAb5 and isotype mAb-3.13 did not have any effect on tumor growth. Unexpectedly, 0.4 mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.13 had superior activity compared to 1 mg / kg of anti-TROP2 mAb5-3.3 in the same mouse model (Fig. 9 and 14) despite both conjugates containing the same warhead CDN compound 2.2. Therefore, it is advantageous to remove N-methylethanolamine from the linker of the conjugate. Example 19 Activity of anti-FOLR1 mAb6 conjugated with Compound 3.3 to engineered heavy chain C152 and C375 in FOLR1 expressing KB cervical tumor xenograft model Compound 3.3 was conjugated to the engineered heavy chain C152 and C375 of anti-FOLR1 mAb (mAb6), following the previously described method. The KB human cervical carcinoma cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC®, CRL-3596™) and maintained in Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. The tumor cells were grown in tissue culture flasks in a humidified incubator set at 37oC and an atmosphere of 5% CO2and 95% air. On the day of tumor implantation, the KB cells were harvested during the exponential growth phase (60-70% confluency) and resuspended in 50% Geltrex™ (ThermoFisher; A14132-02) prepared in Dulbecco’s Phosphate - Buffered Saline (DPBS) at 3 x 107cells / mL concentration. Tumors were initiated by subcutaneous implantation of 3 x 106KB cells (in a 0.1 mL suspension) into the right flank of female CD-1 nude mice (CR - Crl:CD1-Foxn1nu). Tumors were measured in two dimensions and tumor volumes were calculated from caliper measurements using formula (L x W2) / 2. Animals were pair matched when tumor volumes reached 100-140 mm3(designated as day 1) and injected with three i.v. doses of 2.5mg / kg of anti-FOLR1 mAb6-3.3 (DAR 3.8), 2.5mg / kg isotype mAb-VAP-3.8 (DAR 3.8), 2.5mg / kg mAb6 or PBS vehicle on day 1, 8 and 15. Results As depicted in Fig. 15, the administration of 2.5 mg / kg of anti-FOLR1 mAb6-3.3 resulted in tumor growth inhibition, while unconjugated anti-FOLR1 mAb6 and isotype mAb-3.3 did not exhibit any effect on tumor growth. These findings demonstrate that tumor inhibition can be achieved in FOLR1-expressing KB tumor xenografts through treatment with anti-FOLR1 mAb6-3.3 when conjugation is performed using heavy chain chain C152 and C375.
