Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a conjugate of a specific topoisomerase inhibitor and a drug linker for use in antibody-drug conjugates, and to a method for preparing the compound and related antibody-conjugated drugs and their use in the preparation of drugs for treating cancer, belonging to the technical field of medicinal chemistry. Background Art

[0002] The basic modules of antibody-drug conjugates include antibodies, linkers, and toxin molecules. Antibodies are used to transport toxin molecules to tumor sites for enrichment, thereby killing tumor cells. Traditional toxin molecules are mostly highly active tubulin inhibitors or direct DNA-targeting cytotoxic drugs, usually with large toxic side effects, which limits the application of ADCs.

[0003] Recently, Immunomedics has developed a novel ADC drug IMMU-132 with camptothecin compounds as warhead molecules, showing good anti-tumor effects. Daiichi Sankyo has developed another ADC drug DS-8201a with a camptothecin compound as a warhead molecule, also showing good anti-tumor effects.

[0004] In existing ADC technologies, camptothecin compounds are mainly linked to antibodies by modifying existing linker technologies. Generally speaking, an ideal linker in ADCs needs to meet the following requirements: First, it ensures that small molecule drugs do not detach from antibodies in plasma, and after entering cells, the linker breaks under appropriate conditions to rapidly release active small molecule drugs; second, the linker also needs to have good physicochemical properties to be able to form conjugates with antibodies; third, the linker should be easy to prepare to lay a foundation for the large-scale production of ADCs. IMMU-132 uses a pH-sensitive linker with poor stability. DS-8201a uses a structure containing a glycine-glycine-phenylalanine-glycine (GGFG) tetrapeptide, which has good stability. The toxins released by the above ADC drugs are SN38 and Dxd, both of which are Pgp substrates, and there are still problems such as tumor multi-drug resistance.

[0005] Therefore, there is still a need to further develop camptothecin derivatives and ADC drugs with better efficacy and / or safety. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation manners of the invention of the present application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the invention of the present application from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0042] Term definitions

[0043] In the present invention, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" component refers to a substance that is suitable for humans and / or animals without excessive adverse side effects (such as toxicity, irritation and allergic reactions), that is, a substance with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0044] In the present invention, the term "effective amount" refers to the amount of a therapeutic agent that treats, alleviates, or prevents a target disease or condition, or an amount that exhibits a detectable therapeutic or preventive effect. The precise effective amount for a particular subject depends on the subject's size and health, the nature and severity of the disorder, and the therapeutic agent and / or combination of therapeutic agents selected for administration. Accordingly, it is not useful to specify an exact effective amount in advance. However, for a given condition, the effective amount can be determined by routine experimentation and can be judged by a clinician.

[0045] Unless otherwise specified, in the present invention, all occurrences of a compound are intended to include all possible optical isomers, such as compounds of a single chirality, or mixtures of various different chiral compounds (i.e., racemates). Among all compounds of the present invention, each chiral carbon atom can optionally be of the R configuration or the S configuration, or a mixture of the R and S configurations.

[0046] As used herein, the term "compounds of the present invention" refers to compounds of formula I. The term also includes various crystalline forms, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, or solvates of the compounds of formula I.

[0047] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts of the compounds of the present invention formed with acids or bases that are suitable for use as pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include inorganic salts and organic salts. A preferred class of salts are salts of the compounds of the present invention formed with acids. Acids suitable for forming salts include, but are not limited to: inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid; organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, picric acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid; and acidic amino acids such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid.

[0048] Unless otherwise specified, the "amino acids" used herein are intended to include any conventional amino acids, such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid, cysteine, asparagine, phenylalanine, glutamine, tyrosine, serine, methionine, tryptophan, glycine, valine, leucine, alanine, isoleucine, proline, threonine, histidine, lysine, arginine.

[0049] When a trade name is used herein, the trade name is intended to include the trade name product formulation, its corresponding generic drug, and the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the trade name product.

[0050] The term "antibody" as used herein is used in its broadest sense and specifically encompasses monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, dimers, multimers, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments, provided that they exhibit the desired biological activity (Miller et al. (2003) Journal of Immunology 170:4854 - 4861). Antibodies can be murine, human, humanized, chimeric, or from other species. An antibody is a protein produced by the immune system that is capable of recognizing and binding a specific antigen (Janeway, C., Travers, P., Walport, M., Shlomchik (2001) ImmunoBiology, 5th Ed., Garland Publishing, New York). A target antigen generally has a large number of binding sites, also called epitopes, recognized by the CDRs of multiple antibodies. Each antibody that specifically binds a different epitope has a different structure. Thus, an antigen can have more than one corresponding antibody. Antibodies include full - length immunoglobulin molecules or the immunologically active portions of full - length immunoglobulin molecules, i.e., molecules that contain an antigen or a portion thereof that specifically binds a target of interest, such targets including, but not limited to, cancer cells or cells that produce autoantibodies associated with autoimmune diseases. The immunoglobulins disclosed herein can be of any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgA), class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2), or subclass of immunoglobulin molecule. Immunoglobulins can be from any species. However, in one aspect, the immunoglobulins are from human, murine, or rabbit.

[0051] "Antibody fragment" includes a portion of a full - length antibody, generally its antigen - binding region or variable region. Examples of antibody fragments include: Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; minibodies (Olafsen et al. (2004) Protein Eng. Design & Sel. 17(4):315 - 323); fragments prepared from Fab expression libraries; anti - idiotypic (anti - Id) antibodies; CDRs (complementary determining regions); and any of the above epitope - binding fragments that bind a cancer cell antigen, a viral antigen, or a microbial antigen in an immunospecific manner; single - chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.

[0052] In the present invention, the antibody constituting the antibody-drug conjugate preferably retains its antigen-binding ability in its original wild state. Thus, the antibody in the present invention can, preferably specifically, bind to an antigen. The antigens involved include, for example, tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), cell surface receptor proteins and other cell surface molecules, cell survival regulators, cell proliferation regulators, molecules related to tissue growth and differentiation (such as those known or predicted to have functionality), lymphokines, cytokines, molecules involved in cell cycle regulation, molecules involved in angiogenesis, and molecules related to angiogenesis (such as the antigens known to be bound by antibodies can be one or a subset of the above classifications, while other subsets contain other molecules / antigens with special properties (compared to the target antigen).

[0053] Antibodies applied in antibody-drug conjugates include, but are not limited to, antibodies against cell surface receptors and tumor-associated antigens. Such tumor-associated antigens are well-known in the art and can be prepared by methods and information well-known in the art for antibody preparation. To develop effective cellular-level targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment, researchers strive to find transmembrane or other tumor-associated polypeptides. These targets can be specifically expressed on the surface of one or more cancer cells and are rarely or not expressed on the surface of one or more non-cancer cells. Generally, such tumor-associated polypeptides are more overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells relative to the surface of non-cancer cells. Identifying such tumor-associated factors can greatly improve the specific targeting characteristics of antibody-based cancer treatment.

[0054] In the present application, the term "ligand" generally refers to a macromolecular compound that can recognize and bind to an antigen or receptor associated with a target cell. The function of the ligand can be to deliver a drug to a population of target cells that bind to the ligand, and these ligands include, but are not limited to, protein hormones, lectins, growth factors, antibodies, or other molecules that can bind to cells, receptors, and / or antigens. In the present application, the ligand can be represented as Ab, and the ligand antigen forms a linkage bond with the linking unit through a heteroatom on the ligand. It can be an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. The antibody can be selected from chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, fully human antibodies, or murine antibodies; the antibody can be a monoclonal antibody. For example, the antibody can be an antibody targeting the following targets: HER2, HER3, B7H, TROP2, Claudin 18.2, CD30, CD33, CD70, EGFR, 5T4, AGS-16, ANGPTL4, ApoE, CD19, CTGF, CXCR5, FGF2, MCPT8, MF12, MS4A7, NCA, Sema5b, SLITRK6, STC2, TGF, 0772P, ST4, ACTA2, ADGRE1, AG-7, AIF1, AKRIC1, AKR1C2, ASLG659, Axl, B7H3, BAFF-R, BCMA, BMPRIB, BNIP3, C1QA, C1QB, CA6, CADM1, CCD79b, CCL5, CCR5, CCR7, CD11c, CD123, CD138, CD142, CD147, CD166, CD19, CD22, CD21, CD20, CD205, CD22, CD223, CD228, CD25, CD30, CD33, CD37, CD38, CD40, CD45, CD45(PTPRC), CD46, CD47, CD49D(ITGA4), CD56, CD66e, CD70, CD71, CD72, CD74, CD79a, CD79b, CDS0, CDCP1, CDH11, CD11b, CEA, CEACAMS, c-Met, COL6A3, COL7A1, CRIPTO, CSF1R, CTSD, CTSS, CXCL11, CXCL10, DDIT4, DLL3, DLL4, DR5, E16, EFNA4, EGFR, EGFRVIII, EGLN, EGLN3, EMR2, ENPP3, EpCAM, EphA2, EphB2R, ETBR, FcRH2, FcRHI, FGFR2, FGFR3, FLT3, FOLR-ALPHA, GD2, GEDA, GPC-1, GPNMB, GPR20, GZMB, HER2, HER3, HLA-DOB, HMOX1, IFI6, IFNG, IGF-1R, IGFBP3,IL-13R, IL-2, IL20Ra, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IRTA2, KISS1R, KRT33A, LIV-1, LOX, LRP-1, LRRC15, LUM, LY64, LY6E, Ly86, LYPD3, MDP, MMP10, MMP14, MMP16, MPF, MSG783, MSLN, MUC-1, NaPi2b, Napi3b, Nectin-4, NOG, P2X5, pAD, P-Cadherin, PDGFRA, PDK1, PD-LI, PFKFB3, PGF, PGK1, PIK3AP1, PIK3CD, PLOD2, PSCA, PSCAh1g, PSMA, PTK7, P-cadherin, RNF43, NaPi2b, ROR1, ROR2, SERPINE1, SLC39A6, SLTRK6, STAT1, STEAP1, STEAP2, TCF4, TENB2, TGFB1, TGFB2, TGFBR1, TNFRSF21, TNFSF9, Trop-2, TrpM4, Tyro7, UPK1B, VEGFA, WNTSA, epidermal growth factor, short protein glycans, mesothelin, sodium phosphate cotransporter 2B, claudin 18.2, endodermal receptor, mucins (such as mucin 1 and mucin 16), guanylate cyclase C, integrin a4p7, integrin a5p6, trophoblast glycoprotein or tissue factor.,

[0055] Enzyme-labile linkers, such as peptide linkers, can better control drug release. Peptide linkers can be effectively cleaved by lysosomal proteases, such as cathepsin B or plasmin (the content of such enzymes increases in some tumor tissues). This peptide linkage is considered to be very stable in plasma circulation because the inappropriate extracellular pH value and serum protease inhibitors render proteases usually inactive. Given the high plasma stability and good intracellular cleavage selectivity and effectiveness, enzyme-labile linkers are widely used as cleavable linkers for antibody-drug conjugates. Typical enzyme-labile linkers include Val-Cit (VC), Phe-Lys, etc.

[0056] Self-immolative linkers are generally embedded between the cleavable linker and the active drug, or are themselves part of the cleavable linker. The mechanism of action of self-immolative linkers is that when the cleavable linker breaks under appropriate conditions, the self-immolative linker can spontaneously rearrange its structure, thereby releasing the active drug connected to it. Common self-immolative linkers include p-aminobenzyl alcohols (PAB) and β-glucuronides (β-Glucuronide), etc.

[0057] Preparation Method of Antibody-Drug Conjugate

[0058] The inter-chain disulfide bonds of the antibody are reduced to produce a total of 8 mercapto groups. The substituted maleimide linker drug conjugate crosslinks with the reduced antibody mercapto groups to generate the corresponding antibody-drug conjugate.

[0059] Dilute the antibody stock solution with reaction buffer to 2 - 10 mg / mL, add 6.0 - 20-fold excess molar ratio of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP), or add 140 - 200-fold excess molar ratio of dithiothreitol (DTT). Stir the reaction solution at 25 °C for 2 - 4 hours; herein, the reaction buffer is 50 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate-sodium hydroxide (KH2PO4-NaOH) / 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) / 1 mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), pH = 6 - 9; 50 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate-citric acid / 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) / 1 mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), pH = 6 - 9; 50 mM boric acid-borax / 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) / 1 mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), pH = 6 - 9; 50 mM histidine-sodium hydroxide / 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl) / 1 mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), pH 6 - 9 and PBS / / 1 mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), pH = 6 - 9.

[0060] Cool the above reaction solution to 0 - 10 °C. If TCEP is used for reduction, the maleimide compound (previously dissolved at 10 mg / mL in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF) or diethylacetamide (DMA)) can be directly added without purification, and ensure that the volume ratio of the organic solvent in the reaction solution does not exceed 15%. The coupling reaction is stirred at 10 - 25 °C for 2 hours. If DTT is used for reduction, after the reduction reaction is completed, excess DTT needs to be removed by passing through a desalting column or ultrafiltration, and then the substituted maleimide compound is added for coupling.

[0061] Use a desalting column to purify the coupling reaction mixture by gel filtration with sodium succinate / 150 mM NaCl buffer or histidine-acetate / sucrose, and collect the eluted samples according to the UV280 absorbance value. Or ultrafilter several times. Then sterilize through a filtration device with a pore size of 0.22 μm and store at -80 °C.

[0062] The drug-antibody conjugate ratio (DAR8) of the obtained antibody-drug conjugate is relatively uniform. Using the drug linker compounds described in this patent for antibody-drug conjugates with certain differences in product uniformity, if a sample with better uniformity is needed, it can be further separated and purified by, but not limited to, the following methods: hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and ion exchange chromatography (IEC).

[0063] Drug Compositions and Methods of Administration

[0064] Because the antibody-drug conjugates provided by the present invention can target specific cell populations, bind to specific proteins (antigens) on the cell surface, and thus release the drug in an active form into the cell through conjugate endocytosis or drug infiltration, the antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention can be used to treat target diseases. The above-mentioned antibody-drug conjugates can be administered to a subject (such as a human) in a therapeutically effective amount by a suitable route. A subject in need of treatment can be a patient at risk or suspected of having a disorder related to the activity or expression level of a specific antigen. Such patients can be identified by routine medical examinations.

[0065] Conventional methods, known to those of ordinary skill in the medical art, can be used to administer the pharmaceutical composition to the subject, depending on the type of disease to be treated or the location of the disease. This composition can also be administered by other conventional routes, for example, orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally, or by implantation. As used herein, the term "parenteral" includes subcutaneous, intradermal, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intra-arterial, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional, and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. In addition, it can be administered by the depot injectable route, for example, using 1-, 3-, or 6-month depot injectable or biodegradable materials and methods.

[0066] Injectable compositions can contain various carriers such as vegetable oils, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, ethyl lactate, ethyl carbonate, isopropyl myristate, ethanol, polyols (glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, etc.). For intravenous injection, water-soluble antibodies can be administered by drip method, whereby a pharmaceutical preparation containing the antibody and a physiologically acceptable excipient is infused. Physiologically acceptable excipients can include, for example, 5% dextrose, 0.9% saline, Ringer's solution, or other suitable excipients. Intramuscular preparations, for example, sterile preparations of a suitable soluble salt form of the antibody, can be dissolved and administered in a pharmaceutical excipient such as water for injection, 0.9% saline, or 5% dextrose solution.

[0067] When treating with the antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention, delivery can be carried out by conventional methods in the art. For example, it can be introduced into cells by using liposomes, hydrogels, cyclodextrins, biodegradable nanocapsules, or bioadhesive microspheres. Alternatively, the nucleic acid or vector can be delivered locally by direct injection or by using an infusion pump. Other methods include the use of various transport and carrier systems by using conjugates and biodegradable polymers.

[0068] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention contains a safe and effective amount of the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Such carriers include (but are not limited to): saline, buffer solution, glucose, water, glycerol, ethanol, and combinations thereof. Generally, the pharmaceutical preparation should be matched with the mode of administration. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be made into a solution form, for example, prepared by conventional methods with physiological saline or an aqueous solution containing glucose and other adjuvants. The said pharmaceutical composition should preferably be manufactured under aseptic conditions. The dosage of the active ingredient is a therapeutically effective amount.

[0069] The effective amount of the antibody-drug conjugate described in the present invention may vary with the mode of administration and the severity of the disease to be treated, etc. The selection of the preferred effective amount can be determined by those of ordinary skill in the art according to various factors (such as through clinical trials). The said factors include but are not limited to: the pharmacokinetic parameters of the bifunctional antibody conjugate such as bioavailability, metabolism, half-life, etc.; the severity of the disease to be treated in the patient, the patient's body weight, the patient's immune status, the route of administration, etc. Generally, when the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention is administered at a dose of about 0.0001 mg - 50 mg / kg of animal body weight per day (preferably 0.001 mg - 10 mg / kg of animal body weight), satisfactory effects can be obtained. For example, due to the urgency of the treatment situation, several separate doses may be administered per day, or the dose may be proportionally reduced.

[0070] The dosage forms of the compounds of the present invention for topical administration include ointments, powders, patches, sprays, and inhalants. The active ingredient is mixed with a physiologically acceptable carrier and any preservatives, buffer solutions, or propellants that may be required under aseptic conditions.

[0071] The compounds of the present invention can be administered alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically acceptable therapeutic agents.

[0072] When using the pharmaceutical composition, a safe and effective amount of the compound of the present invention is applied to a mammal (such as a human) in need of treatment, wherein the dosage during administration is a pharmaceutically recognized effective dosage. For a person with a body weight of 60 kg, the daily dosage is usually 1 - 2000 mg, preferably 5 - 500 mg. Of course, the specific dosage should also consider factors such as the route of administration and the patient's health status, which are all within the scope of the skills of a skilled physician.

[0073] The present invention will be further illustrated below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. The experimental methods without specific conditions noted in the following embodiments are usually carried out under conventional conditions or according to the conditions recommended by the manufacturer.

[0307] Example 2. Preparation of antibody conjugate

[0308] The targeted HER2 antibody Trastuzumab was replaced into 50 mM PB / 1.0 mM EDTA buffer (pH 7.0) using a G25 desalting column. 8 equivalents of TECP were added, and the mixture was stirred at 37 °C for 2 hours to completely open the interchain disulfide bonds of the antibody. Subsequently, the pH of the reduced antibody solution was adjusted to 6.0 using phosphoric acid, and the water bath temperature was lowered to 25 °C for the conjugation reaction. The linker-drug conjugate and GGFG-Dxd (control compound) prepared according to the method of Example 1 above were each dissolved in DMA. 12 equivalents of the linker-drug conjugate were pipetted dropwise into the reduced antibody solution, and DMA was added to make its final concentration 10% (V / V). The reaction was stirred at 25 °C for 0.5 hours. After the reaction was completed, the sample was filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane. The excess conjugated small molecules were removed by purification using a tangential flow ultrafiltration system, and the buffer was 50 mM PB / 1.0 mM EDTA solution (pH = 6.0). After purification, 6% sucrose was added at the final concentration and stored in a -20 °C refrigerator. The absorbance values were measured at 280 nm and 370 nm using the UV method, and the DAR value was calculated. In this technical solution, most of the linker-drug conjugates did not produce precipitation during the conjugation process. The DAR values of the conjugates were all 6 - 8. The DAR value was measured by HIC-HPLC, RP-HPLC or LCMS. The aggregate ratio of the conjugate was detected by SEC-HPLC to be in the normal range, indicating that the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention has good solubility and drug-forming properties, and no precipitation occurs during the conjugation process.

[0309] Example 3 In Vitro Cytotoxic Activity Test

[0310] Stably transfected SK-BR-3 and BT-474 human breast cancer cells with high expression of Her2 and NCI-N87 human gastric cancer cells were selected as the cell lines for in vitro activity detection in this experiment to observe the dose-effect of different antibody-drug conjugates on cell killing. The initial seeding density of each type of cell was preliminarily selected: 2×10 3 cells / well. After 16 - 24 hours, the cytotoxic activity was measured. Secondly, the final concentration of the antibody-drug conjugate prepared in Example 2 was set at 5000 nM as the starting concentration, and 10 concentrations in a series (4 - 10-fold serial dilution) from 5000 - 0.006 nM were designed. The killing (or inhibition) changes were observed for 120 hours. After chemiluminescent staining (Luminescent Cell Viability Assay), the fluorescence data was read and the IC 50 .

[0311] All linkers in the present invention are cleavable linkers. Therefore, the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the released camptothecin analogues was first tested, and the results are shown in the following table. The test results show that the cell killing activity of most compounds is better than that of the control compound Dxd.

[0315] Example 4 Determination of Anti-Tumor Efficacy in Vivo

[0316] The efficacy of the combination of the present invention was measured in vivo, that is, allografts or xenografts of cancer cells were implanted in rodents, and the tumors were treated with the said combination. The test mice were treated with the drug or the control, and monitored for several weeks or longer to measure the time to tumor doubling, log cell kill, and tumor inhibition.

[0317] 1) Experimental Animals

[0318] BALB / cA-nude nude mice, 6-7 weeks old, female, purchased from Shanghai Lingchang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0319] 2) Experimental Procedures

[0320] The nude mice were subcutaneously inoculated with human gastric cancer NCI-N87 cells. After the tumors grew to 100-250 mm 3 , the animals were randomly grouped (D0). The tumor volume was measured 2-3 times a week, the body weight of the mice was weighed, and the data were recorded. The formula for calculating the tumor volume (V) is: V = 1 / 2 × a × b 2 where a and b represent the length and width respectively. T / C(%) = (T - T0) / (C - C0) × 100%, where T and C are the tumor volumes at the end of the experiment for the test group and the control group respectively; T0 and C0 are the tumor volumes at the start of the experiment for the test group and the control group respectively.

[0321] From the results of the activity test, the ADCs prepared from the compounds of the present application all showed certain anti-tumor activity in vivo, and could show significantly stronger anti-tumor activity compared with the control sample. The tumor-bearing mice could well tolerate the above drugs, and no symptoms such as weight loss occurred.
