Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology and relates to camptothecin compounds and their conjugates, their preparation methods, and their use in the prevention and / or treatment of proliferative diseases (including but not limited to tumors) associated with abnormal cell activity. Background Technology

[0002] Camptothecin (CPT) is a cytotoxic alkaloid isolated from the camptotheca tree (Campanula stenoptera), a plant in the Davidiaceae family. It forms a ternary complex with cellular DNA topoisomerase I, thereby inhibiting DNA unwinding, leading to DNA replication arrest and ultimately cell death (Cancer Res. 1989, 49, 6365), exhibiting broad-spectrum antiproliferative activity. However, its low solubility, instability, acquired tumor cell resistance, and significant toxicity make it unsuitable for clinical development. Camptothecin derivatives can increase water solubility and improve drugability by introducing water-soluble groups or preparing prodrugs. Several camptothecin derivatives with significantly improved solubility have been approved for marketing (Med. Res. Rev. 2015, 35, 753), such as topotecan, irinotecan, and beloteccan, for the treatment of various types of cancer.

[0003] Camptothecin derivatives are also used in antibody conjugation as small molecule toxins in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), also known as payloads. ADCs combine the high potency of cytotoxic small molecules with the high selectivity of antibodies for specific tumor cells. Compared to traditional chemotherapy drugs, ADCs can more precisely kill tumor cells and reduce the impact on normal cells. In recent years, ADCs using camptothecin derivatives as small molecule toxins have made significant progress. Two camptothecin-based ADCs have been approved for cancer treatment: DS-8101a, where the camptothecin analog dxd is conjugated to the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab via a cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker; and Immu-132, where the camptothecin analog SN-38 is conjugated to the anti-Trop-2 antibody cetuzumab via a hydrolyzable pH-sensitive linker.

[0004] However, ADCs using camptothecin-based drugs or derivatives as toxins generally have a high drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), are difficult to manufacture, and are prone to instability. Furthermore, camptothecin compounds often exhibit bone marrow suppression leading to hematologic toxicity, such as neutropenia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia, as well as gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

[0005] Therefore, there is still a high clinical demand and application value for developing camptothecin compounds and their conjugates with novel structures that can improve efficacy and safety. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the laboratory procedures for cell culture, molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry, and immunology used herein are all standard procedures widely used in their respective fields. To better understand this disclosure, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.

[0237] In this application, the term "pharmaceutical excipients" refers to excipients and additives used in the production of pharmaceuticals and the formulation of prescriptions. These are substances, other than the active ingredient, that have undergone reasonable safety assessments and are included in the pharmaceutical preparation. Besides acting as a formifier, carrier, and improving stability, pharmaceutical excipients also have important functions such as solubilization, co-solubilization, and sustained-release. They are important components that may affect the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceuticals. Based on their origin, they can be classified as natural substances, semi-synthetic substances, and fully synthetic substances. Based on their function and use, pharmaceutical excipients can be classified as follows: solvents, propellants, solubilizers, cosolvents, emulsifiers, colorants, binders, disintegrants, fillers, lubricants, wetting agents, osmotic pressure regulators, stabilizers, flow aids, flavoring agents, preservatives, suspending agents, coating materials, fragrances, anti-adhesion agents, antioxidants, chelating agents, penetration enhancers, pH adjusters, buffers, plasticizers, surfactants, foaming agents, defoamers, thickeners, inclusion agents, humectants, absorbents, diluents, flocculants and anti-flocculation agents, filter aids, release inhibitors, etc. Based on their route of administration, they can be classified as oral, injection, mucosal, transdermal or local, nasal or oral inhalation, and ocular administration, etc. The same pharmaceutical excipient can be used in pharmaceutical preparations with different routes of administration and has different functions and uses.

[0238] In this application, the term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a dosage form that can be formulated according to various suitable routes of administration. Examples include tablets, capsules, granules, oral solutions, oral suspensions, oral emulsions, powders, tinctures, syrups, injections, suppositories, ointments, creams, pastes, ophthalmic preparations, pills, implants, aerosols, powder inhalers, sprays, etc. The pharmaceutical composition or suitable dosage form may contain 0.01 mg to 1000 mg of the compound disclosed herein or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or conjugates, preferably 0.1 mg to 800 mg, preferably 0.5-500 mg, more preferably 0.5-350 mg, and particularly preferably 1-250 mg.

[0243] In this application, the term "ligand-drug conjugate" generally refers to a ligand linked to a biologically active cytotoxic drug via a stable linker unit. In some embodiments of this application, "ligand-drug conjugate" can be an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), whereby an ADC can refer to a monoclonal antibody or antibody fragment linked to a biologically active cytotoxic drug via a stable linker unit.

[0244] In this application, the term "ligand" generally refers to small molecules, peptides, RNA, DNA, carbohydrates, and macromolecules that can recognize and bind to antigens or receptors associated with target cells. The role of a ligand can be to present a drug to a target cell population that has bound the ligand. 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 this application, a ligand can be represented as Ab. The ligand antigen forms a linker bond with a linker unit (also called a "linker" or "connector") through a heteroatom on the ligand. The ligand can be an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment. 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, B7H3, TROP2, Claudin18.2, CD30, CD33, CD70, or EGFR.
