Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of antibody-drug conjugates, and more specifically to an antibody-drug conjugate intermediate and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), as a novel type of biological targeted therapy, combine the targeted action of monoclonal antibodies with the cytotoxicity of small molecule drugs, and have become one of the fastest-growing areas in targeted cancer therapy. The three components of an ADC (antibody, cytotoxic agent, and linker) together form a targeted drug delivery system. The antibody enables targeting, the linker ensures the stability of the ADC during blood transport, and upon reaching the target site, the toxin exerts its killing effect on cancer cells. Currently, more than 60 ADC drugs are undergoing clinical trials for anti-tumor therapy, the vast majority of which are microtubule inhibitors, with a smaller number being DNA inhibitors. DNA inhibitors have two advantages over microtubule inhibitors: 1) DNA inhibitors (picomolar IC50 values) have higher activity than microtubule inhibitors (sub-nanomolar IC50 values), playing a better role in treating tumors with fewer antigens; 2) They can kill cancer cells not in the dividing phase, giving them an advantage in the treatment of solid tumors.

[0003] Camptothecin compounds are topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitors used clinically, showing good efficacy against slow-growing solid tumors. However, the unique structure of camptothecin results in poor water and lipid solubility, necessitating water solubility modification. Antibody-adjuvant (ADC) drugs using camptothecin as the target offer a new solution to overcome these limitations.

[0004] Currently, two ADC drugs using camptothecin derivatives as projectiles have been approved for marketing: Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) and Trodelvy (Sacituzumab govitecan). These drugs address significant clinical needs in the treatment of tumors, particularly malignant tumors. Enhertu, developed by AstraZeneca / Daiichi Sankyo, uses a cathepsin B-activated GGFG tetrapeptide as a linker and incorporates a short self-cleaving structure, releasing the exatecan derivative Dxd. In HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, Enhertu achieved an objective response rate of 54.5% and a disease control rate of 93.9% in 99 patients. Sacituzumab govitecan uses the Mcc-triazole spacer-PEG7-x-lysine-PABC linker, which breaks down in lysosomes (at approximately pH 5) to release camptothecin (SN38). Phase II clinical trial results for Sacituzumab govitecan in triple-negative breast cancer showed an efficacy rate of up to 30%, with tumor shrinkage in 69.5% of patients, a condition in which triple-negative breast cancer was previously considered "untreatable." Furthermore, in small cell lung cancer that had failed multiple lines of therapy, Sacituzumab govitecan reduced tumor size in 60% of patients; and in non-small cell lung cancer that had failed chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and PD-1 therapy, Sacituzumab govitecan achieved a control rate of up to 43%. However, despite its significant therapeutic effects, clinical trials also revealed serious safety concerns related to ADC toxicity, including hematologic toxicity, neurotoxicity, pulmonary toxicity, skin toxicity, hepatotoxicity, ocular toxicity, metabolic abnormalities, and cardiotoxicity. Therefore, improving the safety of ADC drugs is a crucial issue that requires significant attention and resolution in current drug development.

[0005] Furthermore, the synthesis of some ADC linkers and loads also presents the problem of difficult removal of metal ion reaction products. For example, the CL2A-SN38 used in Sacituzumab govitecan involves a click reaction during its synthesis (see Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN102448494A, page 50, paragraph

[0273] ), which leads to the presence of Cu in the reaction product. 2+ And it is not easy to remove.

[0006] Linkers play a crucial role in the structure of ADCs (Advanced Drug Acquisition-Contractant) systems, influencing their pharmacokinetic parameters, therapeutic index, and efficacy. Linkers maintain the stability of the ADC complex in the bloodstream. Linker design must prioritize stability because ADC drugs have relatively long half-lives, requiring stable linker properties to prevent premature decomposition and toxin release in the blood. Instability in the bloodstream can lead to ADC degradation before reaching tumor cells, reducing the drug's effectiveness against tumors and potentially causing the death of other cells. Furthermore, during ADC internalization in tumor cells, the linker should rapidly release the cytotoxic drug. Therefore, linkers significantly determine the safety and efficacy of developed ADC drugs. Different linker structures also greatly influence the complexity, production cost, and environmental friendliness of ADC manufacturing processes, significantly impacting ADC drug quality, such as stability, and consequently, safety.

[0176] 1. Experimental Methods

[0177] After resuscitation, BT474 cell lines were passaged 1-2 times. Once cell growth stabilized, the cells were expanded for culture, and tumor cell suspensions were prepared. 0.2 x 10⁻⁶ cells were then inoculated onto the milk fat pads of nude mice. 7 One BT474 cell line was inoculated into 60 female BALB / c nude mice. The average tumor volume reached approximately 70 mm. 3 Forty-two animals were selected and randomly divided into six groups according to tumor volume: the negative control group consisted of control group 1 (saline group), control group 2 (ADC-17), experimental group 1 (ADC-4), experimental group 2 (ADC-12), experimental group 3 (ADC-1), and experimental group 4 (ADC-9), with seven animals in each group. After successful model establishment, control group 1 was given intravenous saline, while the other groups were given intravenous drugs at the following doses: control group 2 5 mg / kg, experimental group 1 5 mg / kg, experimental group 2 5 mg / kg, experimental group 3 5 mg / kg, and experimental group 4 5 mg / kg, once a week for 21 weeks. Tumor volume was weighed and measured three times a week, with the final measurement taken on day 21.

[0183] (ADC-17 group), Experimental group 1 (ADC-4), Experimental group 2 (ADC-12), Experimental group 3

[0184] There was no significant difference in body weight between group (ADC-1) and experimental group 4 (ADC-9), as detailed in Table 5. Figure 1 .

[0185] 2) Tumor volume in mice:

[0188] Note: Compared with the control group (saline group), each group, " * "Indicates P < 0.05;" ** " indicates P < 0.01;

[0189] Compared with control group 2, each group, # " indicates P < 0.05, ## "" indicates that P < 0.01

[0190] Twenty-one days after drug administration, the tumor volume in control group 1 reached 107 ± 19.30 mm. 3 The tumor volumes of the five groups (control group 2, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3, and experimental group 4) were 49.17±13.29, 57.12±20.28, 66.26±21.37, 61.32±12.82, 75.76±46.18, and 75.19±25.99 mm, respectively. 3 (See Table 6) The differences between control group 2, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, and experimental group 3 and control group 1 (saline group) were statistically significant (P < 0.01), and the difference between experimental group 4 and control group 1 was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in tumor volume between experimental group 1, experimental group 2, and experimental group 3 and control group 2 (P > 0.05), and their relative tumor volumes were also not significantly different (P > 0.05), indicating comparable efficacy. The relative tumor proliferation rates (T / C) of control group 2, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3, and experimental group 4 were 49.30%, 55.00%, 62.58%, 62.48%, 67.19%, and 63.20%, respectively. The data above show that the four antibody-drug conjugates in control group 2, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, and experimental group 3 all significantly inhibited BT474 tumor growth with comparable effects, while experimental group 4 also inhibited BT474 tumor growth. The changes in tumor volume and relative tumor volume in each group during the experiment are shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0191] In summary, the ADCs constructed using the drug conjugate intermediates of this invention showed significant antitumor activity against the BT474 breast cancer cell model. The preferred ADCs-1, ADC-4, and ADC-12 have significant advantages and are expected to significantly improve safety under in vivo conditions while also achieving tumor inhibition effects comparable to those of the ADC-17 group.
