Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed on March 25, 2020 (Application No. CN 202010219311.2) and a Chinese patent application filed on March 19, 2021 (Application No. CN 202110297397.5). Technical Field
[0002] This disclosure relates to a method for preparing a class of antibody-drug conjugates, and particularly to the synthesis and purification steps of a method for preparing a class of antibody-drug conjugates. Background Art
[0003] The statements herein merely provide background information related to this disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0004] Chemotherapy remains one of the most important anti-cancer means, including surgery, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy. Although there are many types of highly effective cytotoxic drugs, the difference between tumor cells and normal cells is very small, limiting the wide clinical application of these anti-tumor compounds due to their toxic and side effects. Anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies are specific for tumor cell surface antigens, and antibody drugs have become front-line drugs for anti-tumor treatment. However, when antibodies are used alone as anti-tumor drugs, the efficacy is often unsatisfactory.
[0005] An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) links a monoclonal antibody or antibody fragment to a bioactive cytotoxic drug through a stable chemical linker compound, making full use of the specificity of the antibody for binding to the surface antigens of normal cells and tumor cells and the high efficiency of the cytotoxic drug, while avoiding the defects of the low efficacy of the former and the excessive toxic and side effects of the latter. This means that, compared with traditional chemotherapy drugs in the past, antibody-drug conjugates can precisely bind to tumor cells and reduce the impact on normal cells (Mullard A, (2013) Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, 12:329–332; DiJoseph JF, Armellino DC, (2004) Blood, 103:1807-1814).
[0006] In 2000, the first antibody-drug conjugate, Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (Drugs of the Future (2000) 25(7):686; US4970198; US 5079233; US 5585089; US 5606040; US5693762; US 5739116; US 5767285; US 5773001).
[0007] In August 2011, (brentuximab vedotin, Seattle Genetics, Inc.) was approved through the US FDA's accelerated approval pathway for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (Nat. Biotechnol(2003) 21(7):778-784; WO2004010957; WO2005001038; US7090843; US7659241; WO2008025020). is a novel ADC drug that can directly act on the target CD30 on lymphoma cells and then undergo endocytosis to induce apoptosis of tumor cells.
[0008] Both Mylotarg and Adcetris are targeted therapies for hematological malignancies, which have relatively simple tissue structures compared to solid tumors. In February 2013, Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab emtansine, T-DM1) was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are resistant to both Tratuzumab (trade name: Herceptin) and paclitaxel (WO2005037992; US8088387). Kadcyla is the first ADC drug approved by the US FDA for the treatment of solid tumors.
[0009] There are several types of cytotoxic small molecules for antibody-drug conjugates. One of them is camptothecin derivatives, which have antitumor effects by inhibiting topoisomerase I. The literature reporting the application of the camptothecin derivative irinotecan (chemical name: (1S,9S)-1-amino-9-ethyl-5-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-9-hydroxy-4-methyl-1H,12H-benzo[de]pyrano[3’,4’:6,7]imidazo[1,2-b]quinoline-10,13(9H,15H)-dione) in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) includes WO2014057687; Clinical Cancer Research (2016) 22(20): 5097-5108; Cancer Sci (2016) 107: 1039-1046. However, further development of ADC drugs with better efficacy is still needed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0110] "Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)" refers to a conjugate that links an antibody or an antibody fragment to a bioactive cytotoxin or a small molecule drug with cell killing activity through a stable chemical linker compound, making full use of the specificity of the antibody for tumor cells or the specificity of binding to cells with highly expressed antigens and the high efficiency of the cytotoxin, and avoiding the toxic side effects on normal cells. Compared with traditional chemotherapy drugs in the past, antibody-drug conjugates can precisely bind to tumor cells and reduce the impact on normal cells.
[0111] "Buffer" refers to a buffer that tolerates pH changes through the action of its acid-base conjugate components. Examples of buffers for controlling pH within an appropriate range include acetate, succinate, gluconate, histidinate, oxalate, lactate, phosphate, citrate, tartrate, fumarate, glycylglycine, and other organic acid buffers.
[0112] "Histidinate buffer" is a buffer containing histidinate ions. Examples of histidinate buffers include buffers such as histidine-hydrochloric acid, histidine-acetate, histidine-phosphate, histidine-sulfuric acid, etc. The preferred histidinate buffer is histidine-hydrochloric acid buffer. The histidine-acetate buffer is prepared from histidine and acetic acid, and the histidine hydrochloride buffer is prepared from histidine and hydrochloric acid or histidine and histidine hydrochloride.
[0113] "Phosphate buffer" is a buffer including phosphate ions. Examples of phosphate buffers include disodium hydrogen phosphate - sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate - potassium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate - citric acid, etc. The preferred phosphate buffer is disodium hydrogen phosphate - sodium dihydrogen phosphate.
[0114] "Acetate buffer" is a buffer including acetate ions. Examples of acetate buffers include acetic acid - sodium acetate, histidine acetate, acetic acid - potassium acetate, calcium acetate acetate, acetic acid - magnesium acetate, etc. The preferred acetate buffer is acetic acid - sodium acetate.
[0115] As used herein, the terms "about" and "approximately" mean that a numerical value is within an acceptable error range of the specific value determined by those of ordinary skill in the art, and the numerical value depends in part on how it is measured or determined (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, in each practice in the art, "about" can mean within 1 or more than 1 standard deviation. Alternatively, "about" or "substantially comprises" can mean a range of up to 20%. In addition, particularly for biological systems or processes, the term can mean up to one order of magnitude or up to 5 times the numerical value. Unless otherwise specified, when a specific value appears in this application and the claims, the meaning of "about" or "substantially comprises" should be assumed to be within the acceptable error range of that specific value.
[0116] The three-letter and single-letter codes for amino acids used in this disclosure are as described in J. biol. chem, 243, p3558 (1968).
[0117] As used herein, "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin, which is a tetrapeptide chain structure formed by two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains connected by inter-chain disulfide bonds. The amino acid composition and arrangement order of the constant region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain are different, so its antigenicity is also different. Accordingly, immunoglobulins can be classified into five classes, or called isotypes of immunoglobulins, namely IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, and their corresponding heavy chains are μ chain, δ chain, γ chain, α chain, and ε chain, respectively. The same class of Ig can be further divided into different subclasses according to the differences in the amino acid composition of its hinge region and the number and position of the heavy chain disulfide bonds. For example, IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Light chains are divided into κ chains or λ chains according to the difference in the constant region. Each of the five classes of Ig can have κ chains or λ chains. The antibody described in this disclosure is preferably a specific antibody against cell surface antigens on target cells. Non-limiting examples of such antibodies include: anti-HER2 (ErbB2) antibody, anti-EGFR antibody, anti-B7-H3 antibody, anti-c-Met antibody, anti-HER3 (ErbB3) antibody, anti-HER4 (ErbB4) antibody, anti-CD20 antibody, anti-CD22 antibody, anti-CD30 antibody, anti-CD33 antibody, anti-CD44 antibody, anti-CD56 antibody, anti-CD70 antibody, anti-CD73 antibody, anti-CD105 antibody, anti-CEA antibody, anti-A33 antibody, anti-Cripto antibody, anti-EphA2 antibody, anti-G250 antibody, anti-MUC1 antibody, anti-Lewis Y antibody, anti-VEGFR antibody, anti-GPNMB antibody, anti-Integrin antibody, anti-PSMA antibody, anti-Tenascin-C antibody, anti-SLC44A4 antibody, or anti-Mesothelin antibody, one or more of them; preferably trastuzumab (trastuzumab, trade name Herceptin), pertuzumab (pertuzumab, also known as 2C4, trade name Perjeta), nimotuzumab (nimotuzumab, trade name Tai Xinsheng), Enoblituzumab, Emibetuzumab, Inotuzumab, Pinatuzumab, batimastat, gemtuzumab, Bivatuzumab, Lorvotuzumab, cBR96, and Glematumamab.
[0118] The sequences of approximately 110 amino acids near the N-terminus of the antibody heavy chain and light chain vary greatly and are the variable regions (Fv regions); the remaining amino acid sequences near the C-terminus are relatively stable and are the constant regions. The variable region includes 3 hypervariable regions (HVRs) and 4 relatively conserved framework regions (FRs). The 3 hypervariable regions determine the specificity of the antibody and are also called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). Each light chain variable region (LCVR) and heavy chain variable region (HCVR) consists of 3 CDR regions and 4 FR regions, and the order arranged sequentially from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus is: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The 3 CDR regions of the light chain refer to LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3; the 3 CDR regions of the heavy chain refer to HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3. The CDR amino acid residues in the LCVR region and HCVR region of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment described in this disclosure conform to the known Kabat numbering rules in terms of quantity and position (LCDR1-3, HCDR1-3).
[0119] In this disclosure, the antibody light chain described in this disclosure may further include a light chain constant region, and the light chain constant region includes human or murine κ, λ chains or variants thereof.
[0120] In this disclosure, the antibody heavy chain described in this disclosure may further include a heavy chain constant region, and the heavy chain constant region includes human or murine IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4 or variants thereof.
[0121] The antibodies of this disclosure include murine antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, preferably humanized antibodies.
[0122] The term "murine antibody" in this disclosure refers to the preparation of antibodies in mice according to the knowledge and skills in the art. When preparing, a specific antigen is injected into the test subject, and then the hybridomas expressing antibodies with the desired sequence or functional characteristics are isolated.
[0123] The term "chimeric antibody" is an antibody formed by fusing the variable region of a murine antibody with the constant region of a human antibody, which can reduce the immune response induced by the murine antibody. To establish a chimeric antibody, first establish a hybridoma secreting murine-specific monoclonal antibody, then clone the variable region gene from the murine hybridoma cells, then clone the constant region gene of the human antibody as needed, connect the murine variable region gene with the human constant region gene to form a chimeric gene and insert it into a human vector, and finally express the chimeric antibody molecule in a eukaryotic industrial system or a prokaryotic industrial system.
[0124] The term "humanized antibody", also known as CDR-grafted antibody, refers to an antibody generated by transplanting the CDR sequences of a mouse into the framework of the variable region of a human antibody, i.e., into different types of human germline antibody framework sequences. It can overcome the strong heterologous reactions induced by chimeric antibodies due to the presence of a large amount of mouse protein components. Such framework sequences can be obtained from public DNA databases including germline antibody gene sequences or published references. For example, the germline DNA sequences of human heavy and light chain variable region genes can be found in the "VBase" germline sequence database and in Kabat, E.A. et al., 1991 Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th edition. To avoid a decrease in activity while minimizing immunogenicity, the human antibody variable region framework sequences can be subjected to minimal back mutations or revertant mutations to maintain activity. The humanized antibodies disclosed herein also include humanized antibodies further affinity matured by phage display of the CDRs.
[0125] The term "naked antibody" refers to an antibody that is not conjugated to a heterologous module (e.g., a cytotoxic module) or a radiolabel.
[0126] The "antigen-binding fragment of an antibody" as described in this disclosure may refer to Fab fragments, Fab' fragments, F(ab')2 fragments having antigen-binding activity, and Fv fragments, scFv fragments that bind to an antigen. The Fv fragment contains the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody but no constant regions and is the smallest antibody fragment having all the antigen-binding sites. Generally, the Fv antibody also contains a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains and is capable of forming the structure required for antigen binding. Two antibody variable regions can also be linked into a single polypeptide chain using different linkers, referred to as single chain antibody or single chain Fv (sFv).
[0127] The term "antigen-binding site" as used in this disclosure refers to a three-dimensional site on an antigen, either continuous or discontinuous, recognized by the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments disclosed herein.
[0128] "ADCC" as described in this disclosure, namely antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, refers to the direct killing of antibody-coated target cells by cells expressing Fc receptors through recognizing the Fc segment of the antibody. The ADCC effector function of the antibody can be reduced or eliminated by modifying the Fc segment on IgG. The modification refers to mutating the constant region of the heavy chain of the antibody, such as N297A, L234A, L235A selected from IgG1; IgG2 / 4 chimera, F234A / L235A mutation of IgG4.
[0129] "Mutation" in the mutant sequences described in this disclosure includes but is not limited to "reverse mutation", "conservative modification" or "conservative substitution or replacement". "Conservative modification" or "conservative substitution or replacement" as described in this disclosure refers to the substitution of an amino acid in a protein by other amino acids with similar characteristics (such as charge, side chain size, hydrophobicity / hydrophilicity, backbone conformation and rigidity, etc.), so that the change can be carried out frequently without changing the biological activity of the protein. Those skilled in the art know that generally, a single amino acid substitution in a non-essential region of a polypeptide basically does not change the biological activity (see, for example, Watson et al. (1987) Molecular Biology of the Gene, The Benjamin / Cummings Pub. Co., page 224, (4th edition)). In addition, the substitution of amino acids with similar structures or functions is unlikely to destroy the biological activity.
[0130] The "mutant sequence" described in this disclosure refers to a nucleotide sequence and / or amino acid sequence obtained by performing appropriate mutation modifications such as substitution, insertion or deletion on the nucleotide sequence and / or amino acid sequence of this disclosure, and having a different percentage sequence identity degree with the nucleotide sequence and / or amino acid sequence of this disclosure. The sequence identity described in this disclosure can be at least 85%, 90% or 95%, preferably at least 95%. Non-limiting examples include 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%. The sequence comparison and determination of the percentage identity between two sequences can be carried out by the default settings of the BLASTN / BLASTP algorithm available on the website of the National Center For Biotechnology Institute.
[0131] The term "linker unit" or "linking fragment" or "linking 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 an antibody or a drug after connecting to other linkers.
[0132] Linkers, including spacers, linkers and amino acid units, can be synthesized by methods known in the art, such as those described in US2005-0238649A1. The linker can be a "cleavable linker" that facilitates the release of the drug in the cell. For example, acid-labile linkers (e.g., hydrazones), protease-sensitive (e.g., peptidase-sensitive) linkers, photo-labile linkers, dimethyl linkers, or disulfide-containing linkers can be used (Chari et al., Cancer Research 52:127-131 (1992); US Patent No. 5,208,020).
[0133] The engineered antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure can be prepared and purified by conventional methods. For example, the cDNA sequences encoding the heavy and light chains can be cloned and recombined into a GS expression vector. The recombinant immunoglobulin expression vector can be stably transfected into CHO cells. As a more recommended prior art, mammalian expression systems result in glycosylation of the antibody, particularly at the highly conserved N-terminal site in the Fc region. Positive clones are expanded in a serum-free medium in a bioreactor to produce the antibody. The culture broth secreting the antibody can be purified by conventional techniques. For example, purification can be performed using an A or GSepharose FF column with adjusted buffer. Non-specifically bound components are washed away. The bound antibody is then eluted using a pH gradient, and the antibody fragments are detected by SDS-PAGE and collected. The antibody can be filtered and concentrated by conventional methods. Soluble mixtures and polymers can also be removed by conventional methods, such as molecular sieving and ion exchange. The resulting product should be immediately frozen, such as at -70°C, or lyophilized.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the drug - loading amount is denoted as n, and can exemplarily be the average value of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The average number of drugs per ADC molecule after the conjugation reaction can be identified by conventional methods such as UV / visible light spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA assays, and HPLC.
[0167] The term "drug - loading distribution" refers to the distribution of antibodies conjugated with different numbers of drugs in a population of antibody - drug conjugates. For example, the distribution of antibodies conjugated with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 drugs in the population. It should be noted that due to the possible generation of degradation products, DARs of 1, 3, 5, and 7 may also be included in the mixture. In the present disclosure, the antibody - drug loading distribution can be characterized by heavy chains of antibodies conjugated with different numbers of drugs. For example: H0 represents the heavy chain not conjugated with drugs, H1 represents the heavy chain conjugated with one drug, H2 represents the heavy chain conjugated with two drugs, H3 represents the heavy chain conjugated with three drugs, and H4 represents the heavy chain conjugated with four drugs. Exemplarily, an H3 ratio of 4% means that in the heavy - chain population of the antibody - drug conjugate, the proportion of heavy chains conjugated with three drugs is 4%. Correspondingly, in the present disclosure, the antibody - drug loading distribution can also be characterized by light chains of antibodies conjugated with different numbers of drugs. L0 represents the light chain of the antibody not conjugated with drugs, and L1 represents the light chain of the antibody conjugated with 1 drug.
[0168] "Administer", "administered", and "treatment" when applied to animals, humans, experimental subjects, cells, tissues, organs, or biological fluids refer to the contact of an exogenous drug, therapeutic agent, diagnostic agent, or composition with the animal, human, subject, cell, tissue, organ, or biological fluid. "Administer", "administered", and "treatment" can refer to, for example, therapeutic, pharmacokinetic, diagnostic, research, and experimental methods. The treatment of cells includes the contact of a reagent with the cells and the contact of the reagent with a fluid that contacts the cells. "Administer", "administered", and "treatment" also mean the treatment of cells in vitro and ex vivo by a reagent, diagnostic, binding composition, or by another cell. "Treatment" when applied to humans, veterinary medicine, or research subjects refers to therapeutic treatment, preventive or prophylactic measures, research, and diagnostic applications.
[0169] "Treatment" means administering to a patient a therapeutic agent, either internally or externally, such as a composition comprising any of the binding compounds disclosed herein, to a patient having one or more disease symptoms, where the therapeutic agent is known to have a therapeutic effect on such symptoms. Generally, the therapeutic agent is administered to the treated patient or population in an amount effective to relieve one or more disease symptoms, to induce regression of such symptoms or to inhibit the development of such symptoms to any clinically measurable extent. The amount of a therapeutic agent effective to relieve any specific disease symptom (also referred to as the "therapeutically effective amount") can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the patient's disease state, age and weight, and the ability of the drug to produce the desired effect in the patient. Whether a disease symptom has been alleviated can be evaluated by any clinical test method commonly used by a doctor or other professional healthcare provider to evaluate the severity or progression of the symptom. Although the embodiments disclosed herein (such as treatment methods or articles) may not be effective in relieving each target disease symptom, they should alleviate the target disease symptoms in a statistically significant number of patients as determined by any statistical test method known in the art, such as the Student t-test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test (H test), Jonckheere-Terpstra test, and Wilcoxon test.
[0170] "Effective amount" includes an amount sufficient to ameliorate or prevent the symptoms or conditions of a medical disease. An effective amount also means an amount sufficient to permit or facilitate diagnosis. The effective amount for a particular patient or veterinary subject can vary depending on factors such as, for example, the condition to be treated, the overall health of the patient, the route and dosage of administration, and the severity of side effects. The effective amount can be the maximum dose or dosing regimen that avoids significant side effects or toxic effects.
[0171] "Replacement" refers to the replacement of the solvent system in which the antibody protein is dissolved. For example, the high-salt or hypertonic solvent system containing the antibody protein is replaced by a buffer system of a stable formulation through physical manipulation means, so that the antibody protein is present in the stable formulation. The so-called physical manipulation means include, but are not limited to, ultrafiltration, dialysis, or redissolution after centrifugation. Description of the Drawings

[0787] Analysis of drug loading of ADC stock solution
[0788] Experimental Purpose and Principle
[0789] The ADC stock solution is a drug of the antibody conjugate type. The mechanism of treating diseases depends on the targeting of the antibody to transport the toxin molecule into the cell and then kill the cell. The drug loading plays a decisive role in the drug efficacy. The ultraviolet method was used to determine the drug loading of the ADC stock solution.
[0790] Experimental Method
[0791] After placing the cuvette filled with sodium succinate buffer in the reference absorption cell and the sample measurement absorption cell respectively, and subtracting the solvent blank, then place the cuvette filled with the test solution in the sample measurement absorption cell, and measure the absorbance at 280 nm and 370 nm.
[0792] Result Calculation: The ultraviolet spectrophotometry (instrument used: Thermo nanodrop2000 ultraviolet spectrophotometer) was used to determine the drug loading of the ADC stock solution. The principle is that the total absorbance value of the ADC stock solution at a certain wavelength is equal to the sum of the absorbance values of the cytotoxic drug and the monoclonal antibody at this wavelength, that is:
[0793] (1) A 280nm = ε mab-280 bC mab + ε Drug-280 bC Drug
[0794] ε Drug-280 : The average molar extinction coefficient of the drug at 280 nm is 5100;
[0795] C Drug : The concentration of the drug;
[0796] ε mab-280 : The average molar extinction coefficient of trastuzumab stock solution or pertuzumab stock solution at 280 nm is 214600;
[0797] C mab : The concentration of trastuzumab stock solution or pertuzumab stock solution;
[0798] b: The optical path length is 1 cm.
[0799] Similarly, the total absorbance value equation of the sample at 370 nm can be obtained:
[0800] (2) A 370nm = ε mab-370 bC mab + ε Drug-370 bC Drug
[0801] ε Drug-370:The average molar extinction coefficient of the drug at 370 nm is 19,000;
[0802] C Drug :The concentration of the drug;
[0803] ε mab-370 :The extinction coefficient of the trastuzumab or pertuzumab stock solution at 370 nm is 0;
[0804] C mab :The concentration of the trastuzumab stock solution;
[0805] b: The optical path length is 1 cm.
[0806] Combining equations (1) and (2) with the extinction coefficient and concentration data of the monoclonal antibody and the drug at two detection wavelengths, the drug loading can be calculated.
[0807] Drug loading = C Drug / C mab .
[0808] Biological evaluation

Cells were treated in vitro with different concentrations of the compound. After 6 days of culture, the CTG ( Luminescent Cell Viability Assay, Promega, catalog number: G7573) reagent was used to detect the proliferation of the cells, and the in vitro activity of the compound was evaluated based on the IC50 value.
[0812] II. Experimental method
[0813] Taking the test method for the in vitro proliferation inhibition of U87MG cells as an example, it is used to illustrate the method for testing the in vitro proliferation inhibition activity of the compounds disclosed in this disclosure against tumor cells. This method is also applicable to, but not limited to, the in vitro proliferation inhibition activity test of other tumor cells.
[0814] 1. Cell culture: U87MG and SK-BR-3 cells were cultured with EMEM medium containing 10% FBS (GE, catalog number SH30024.01) and McCoy's 5A medium containing 10% FBS (Gibco, catalog number 16600-108), respectively.
[0815] 2. Cell preparation: Take U87MG and SK-BR-3 cells in the logarithmic growth phase, wash once with PBS (phosphate buffered saline, Shanghai Yuanpei Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), add 2-3mL trypsin (0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (1x), Gibico, Life Technologies) to digest for 2-3min. After the cells are completely digested, add 10-15mL cell culture medium to wash the digested cells, centrifuge at 1000rpm for 5min, discard the supernatant, and then add 10-20mL cell culture medium to resuspend the cells to make a single cell suspension.

Cell plating: Mix the single cell suspension of U87MG and SK-BR-3, and adjust the live cell density to 2.75×10 3 cells / mL and 8.25×10 3 cells / mL, mix the cell suspension after density adjustment, and add 180μL / well to a 96-well cell culture plate. Add only 200μL of culture medium to the peripheral wells of the 96-well plate. Incubate the culture plate in an incubator for 24 hours (37°C, 5% CO2).
[0817] 4. Compound preparation: Dissolve the compound in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide, Shanghai Titan Technology Co., Ltd.) and prepare a storage solution with an initial concentration of 10 mM.
[0818] The initial concentration of the small molecule compound was 500 nM, and the preparation method was as follows.

Take 10 μL of the sample in the first column and add it to 20 μL of DMSO in the second column, mix well, take 10 μL to the third column, and so on to column 10. Take 5 μL of the drug in each well of the drug plate and add it to 95 μL of EMEM culture medium, mix well, and set aside.
[0820] The starting concentration of ADC was 10 nM or 500 nM, and the preparation method was as follows.
[0821] Add 100 μL of different samples to be tested into the first column of the 96-well plate, with the sample concentrations being 100 nM or 5 μM; add 100 μL of PBS to each well in the second to eleventh columns. Take 50 μL of the samples in the first column and add them to 100 μL of PBS in the second column, mix well, then take 50 μL and add it to the third column, and so on for three-fold dilution to the tenth column.
[0822] 5. Sample addition operation: Add 20 μL of the prepared samples with different concentrations to be tested into the culture plate, with two replicates for each sample. Incubate the culture plate in an incubator for 6 days (37 °C, 5% CO2).
[0823] 6. Color development operation: Take out the 96-well cell culture plate and add 90 μL of CTG solution to each well, then incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
[0824] 7. Plate reading operation: Take out the 96-well cell culture plate and place it in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay instrument (BMG labtech, PHERAstar FS), and use the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay instrument to measure chemiluminescence.

[0928] 3. Test Method
[0929] BALB / cA-nude nude mice were used in the experiment. They were female, 6 - 7 weeks old, and were subcutaneously inoculated with human pharyngeal cancer pleural effusion metastatic cells Detroit 562 cells (ATCC, Catalog CCL-138 TM ). On the tenth day after inoculating the cells, the animals were randomly grouped (D0), with 8 animals in each group. Intraperitoneal injection of the drug was started once a week for a total of 3 times. The tumor volume and body weight were measured 2 - 3 times a week, and the data were recorded. The formula for calculating the tumor volume (V) is:
[0930] V = 1 / 2 × a × b 2
[0931] where: a and b represent the length and width respectively.
[0932] Relative tumor volume (RTV) = V T / V0
[0933] Tumor inhibition rate (%) = (C RTV - T RTV ) / C RTV (%)
[0934] where V0 and V T are the tumor volumes at the start and end of the experiment respectively. C RTV , T RTV are the relative tumor volumes of the control group (negative control) and the experimental group at the end of the experiment respectively.
[0935] 4. Test results
[0936] When intraperitoneal injection of the drug was given once a week for a total of 3 times and observed until the 28th day, the tumor inhibition rates of the tested ADCs were as follows: the tumor inhibition rate of ADC-29 at 3 mg / kg (3mpk) reached 72.27% (P < 0.001); the tumor inhibition rate of ADC-28 at 3 mg / kg (3mpk) reached 56.2% (P < 0.001). ADC-29 showed stronger anti-tumor efficacy than ADC-28 in all cases.
[0937] During the drug administration process, the body weights of the animals in each group were normal, indicating that ADC had no obvious toxic and side effects. The test results are shown in Table 4 and Figure 6 as follows. The detected antibodies could effectively inhibit the growth of Detroit 562 xenografts in tumor-bearing nude mice, and showed a dose-dependent manner.

[1021] Injected sample volume: 1.0 μL
[1022] 1.2. Data Analysis
[1023] When compared with the light chain (L0) and heavy chain (H0) of the antibody not bound to the drug, in the case of the light chain bound to the drug (one light chain bound to the drug: L1) and the heavy chain bound to the drug (one heavy chain bound to the drug: H1, two heavy chains bound to the drug: H2, three heavy chains bound to the drug: H3, four heavy chains bound to the drug: H4), the hydrophobicity increases in proportion to the number of drugs bound, and the retention time is prolonged. Therefore, elution is carried out in the order of L0, L1, H0, H1, H2, H3, and H4.
[1024] Since the drug linker absorbs UV, according to the following expression, using the molar extinction coefficients of the light chain, heavy chain, and drug linker, the obtained peak area is corrected according to the number of drugs bound. The calculation formula is as follows:
[1025] Light chain (εLC-280) / (εLC-280 + number of drugs linked × εdrug-280)
[1026] Heavy chain (εHC-280) / (εHC-280 + number of drugs linked × εdrug-280)
[1027] Note: εLC-280: Molar extinction coefficient of the light chain at 280 nm;
[1028] εHC-28: Molar extinction coefficient of the heavy chain at 280 nm;
[1029] εdrug-280: Molar extinction coefficient of the toxin at 280 nm.
