[0006] Cancer is one of the leading causes of death today. It is a disease caused by the malignant transformation of healthy cells, triggered by genetic alterations such as chromosomal translocations and mutations in tumor suppressor genes and growth factor receptors, leading to malignant cell proliferation. Defective apoptosis, or programmed cell death, further promotes the malignant transformation of cells that leads to cancer. According to the latest assessment by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the World Health Organization (WHO), 19.29 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed worldwide in 2020, including 10.06 million in men and 9.23 million in women. In 2020, 9.96 million deaths from cancer were reported worldwide, including 5.53 million in men and 4.43 million in women. In this century, cancer is expected to surpass cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of premature death in most countries.
[0007] PTK7 (protein tyrosine kinase 7) belongs to the receptor tyrosine kinase family and lacks kinase activity due to mutations in its kinase domain. The PTK7 protein consists of seven extracellular immunoglobulin domains, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Its ligand is unknown. Its extracellular domain can be cleaved by ADAM and MT1-MMP proteases, producing soluble fragments. The concentration of free PTK7 in healthy human serum is approximately 12.4 ± 3.3 ng / ml; in cancer patients, the concentration is higher, approximately 24.6 ± 3.8 ng / ml.
[0008] PTK7 is expressed in a variety of solid tumors: reportedly overexpressed in 47.4% of NSCLC, 45.1% of ovarian cancer, 28.6% of TNBC, and 60% of esophageal cancer. Studies have shown that PTK7 expression promotes tumor cell growth, and knocking out the PTK7 gene reduces tumor burden in mice. High PTK7 expression is positively correlated with disease stage and lymph node metastasis, and negatively correlated with survival. Currently, research is underway with therapies targeting PTK7, including antibody-drug conjugates and CAR-T cells. Preclinical studies have demonstrated high efficacy against PTK7-overexpressing tumor cell lines. Strong tumor suppressor activity has been demonstrated in human cell-derived xenograft (CDX) and patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) models. Cofetuzumab Pelidotin, an ADC targeting PTK7 developed by Pfizer, has demonstrated favorable safety and preliminary efficacy in Phase I clinical trials.
[0009] ADC drugs consist of antibodies, bioactive molecules, and linkers. The bioactive molecules are covalently coupled to the antibodies via the linkers. Antibodies (such as monoclonal antibodies) can specifically recognize targets on the surface of tumor cells, guiding the ADC to the cancer cell surface and allowing the ADC to enter the cancer cell through endocytosis. The bioactive molecules are then released inside the cancer cell, killing the cancer cells while minimizing damage to normal tissue cells. Developing antibodies with improved targeting, hydrophilicity, and endocytosis activity for coupling to cytotoxic small molecules to create ADC drugs with a wider therapeutic window will provide patients with better treatment options. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The present application relates to an antibody-drug conjugate for treating PTK7-positive cancers, and exemplarily discloses an antibody-drug conjugate with the general formula Ab-[MLED] using humanized antibodies 101A6HZ, 101A6HZm and 64A10HZ as targeting moieties. xAn antibody-drug conjugate with the structure shown.

Therefore, the present application provides an antibody-drug conjugate for treating cancers with high PTK7 expression, a pharmaceutical composition containing the antibody-drug conjugate, and their use in treating cancers with high PTK7 expression.

[0421] Specific description
[0422] definition
[0423] Unless otherwise defined below, the meanings of all technical and scientific terms used herein are intended to be the same as those generally understood by those skilled in the art. Reference to the techniques used herein is intended to refer to techniques generally understood in the art, including variations of those techniques that are obvious to those skilled in the art or replacements with equivalent techniques. Furthermore, laboratory procedures such as genomics, nucleic acid chemistry, and molecular biology used herein are conventional procedures widely used in the corresponding fields. Although it is believed that the following terms are well understood by those skilled in the art, the following definitions are still set forth to better explain the present invention.
[0424] The term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule typically composed of two pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one light chain (LC) and one heavy chain (HC). Antibody light chains can be classified as kappa (κ) and lambda (λ) light chains. Heavy chains can be classified as μ, δ, γ, α, or ε, and define the antibody's isotype as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are connected by a "J" region of approximately 12 or more amino acids, with heavy chains also containing a "D" region of approximately 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region is composed of three domains: CH1, CH2, and CH3. Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region is composed of one domain, CL. The constant domain is not directly involved in the binding of antibodies to antigens, but exhibits a variety of effector functions, such as mediating the binding of immunoglobulins to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can also be subdivided into regions of high variability, called complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL consists of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4 from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus. The variable regions (VH and VL) of each heavy chain / light chain pair form the antigen binding site, respectively. The allocation of amino acids to each region or domain can follow various numbering systems known in the art.
[0425] The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the amino acid residues in the variable region of an antibody that are responsible for antigen binding. The variable region of the heavy chain and light chain each contains three CDRs, designated CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3. The precise boundaries of these CDRs can be defined according to various numbering systems known in the art, for example, as defined in the Kabat numbering system (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991), the Chothia numbering system (Chothia & Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:878-883), the IMGT numbering system (Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003), or the AbM numbering system (Martin ACR, Cheetham JC, Rees AR (1989) Modelling antibody hypervariable loops: A combined algorithm. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86:9268-9272). For a given antibody, a person skilled in the art will readily identify the CDRs defined by each numbering system. Furthermore, the correspondence between different numbering systems is well known to those skilled in the art (e.g., see Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003).
[0426] In the present invention, the CDRs contained in an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof can be determined according to various numbering systems known in the art, such as those defined by the Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, or AbM numbering systems. In certain embodiments, the CDRs contained in an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof are defined by the Chothia numbering system.
[0427] The following general rules (published at www.bioinf.org.uk: Professor Andrew CR Martin's research group) can be used to define CDRs in antibody sequences, which include amino acids that specifically interact with amino acids that make up the epitope to which the antibody binds. In rare cases, these generally constant features do not appear; however, Cys residues are the most conserved feature.
[0428]
[0429] The entire amino acid sequence of a VH is generally numbered according to Kabat, while the three CDRs within the variable region can be defined according to any of the above numbering systems. In certain embodiments, amino acid positions in a VH can be numbered sequentially starting from amino acid position 1 and continuing to the end of the sequence, or numbered according to Kabat. Unless otherwise indicated, amino acid positions in VH and VL described herein are defined according to sequential numbering.
[0430] Amino acid positions in the heavy chain constant region can be numbered sequentially starting from amino acid position 1 and continuing to the end of the sequence, or numbered according to Eu. The amino acid sequence of the IgG1 heavy chain constant region has 330 amino acids, numbered sequentially from 1 to 330. The corresponding sequence numbered according to Eu begins at position 118 and ends at position 447. Unless otherwise indicated, amino acid positions in the heavy and light chains described herein are defined according to sequential numbering.
[0431] The term "framework region" or "FR" residues refers to those amino acid residues in the variable region of an antibody other than the CDR residues as defined above.
[0432] The term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody refers to polypeptides that are fragments of an antibody, such as polypeptides that are fragments of a full-length antibody, which retain the ability to specifically bind to the same antigen bound by the full-length antibody and / or compete with the full-length antibody for specific binding to the antigen, and are also referred to as "antigen-binding portions." See generally, Fundamental Immunology, Ch. 7 (Paul, W., ed., 2nd ed., Raven Press, NY (1989), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. Non-limiting examples of antigen-binding fragments include Fab fragments, Fab' fragments, F(ab)'2 fragments, F(ab)'3 fragments, Fd, Fv, scFv, di-scFv, (scFv)2, disulfide-stabilized Fv proteins ("dsFv"), single domain antibodies (sdAbs, nanobodies), and polypeptides that comprise at least a portion of an antibody sufficient to confer specific antigen-binding ability on the polypeptide. Engineered antibody variants are reviewed in Holliger et al., 2005; Nat Biotechnol, 23: 1126-1136.
[0433] The term "Fd" means an antibody fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; the term "dAb fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of the VH domain (Ward et al., Nature 341:544-546 (1989)); the term "Fab fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains; the term "F(ab')2 fragment" means an antibody fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; the term "Fab' fragment" means a fragment obtained after reducing the disulfide bonds linking the two heavy chain fragments in the F(ab')2 fragment, consisting of one complete light chain and the Fd fragment (consisting of the VH and CH1 domains) of the heavy chain.
[0434] The term "Fv" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody. The Fv fragment is generally considered to be the smallest antibody fragment that can form a complete antigen-binding site. It is generally believed that the six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to an antibody. However, even a single variable region (e.g., an Fd fragment, which contains only three CDRs specific for an antigen) can recognize and bind to an antigen, although its affinity may be lower than that of the complete binding site.
[0435] The term "Fc" refers to an antibody fragment formed by disulfide bonds between the second and third constant regions of the first heavy chain and the second and third constant regions of the second heavy chain. The Fc fragment of an antibody has various functions but is not involved in antigen binding.
[0436] The term "scFv" refers to a single polypeptide chain comprising a VL and VH domain, wherein the VL and VH are connected by a linker (see, e.g., Bird et al., Science 242: 423-426 (1988); Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85: 5879-5883 (1988); and Pluckthun, The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, Vol. 113, Roseburg and Moore, eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994)). Such scFv molecules may have the general structure: NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable linkers in the art include repeated GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 55) amino acid sequences or variants thereof. For example, a linker having the amino acid sequence (GGGGS)4 (SEQ ID NO: 56) can be used, although variants thereof can also be used (Holliger et al. (1993), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 6444-6448). Other linkers useful in the present invention are described by Alfthan et al. (1995), Protein Eng. 8: 725-731, Choi et al. (2001), Eur. J. Immunol. 31: 94-106, Hu et al. (1996), Cancer Res. 56: 3055-3061, Kipriyanov et al. (1999), J. Mol. Biol. 293: 41-56, and Roovers et al. (2001), Cancer Immunol. In some cases, a disulfide bond may also be present between the VH and VL of the scFv. In certain embodiments, the VH and VL domains can be positioned relative to each other in any suitable arrangement. For example, a VH-VH-COOH domain comprising NH2-VH-VH-COOH, NH 2- VL-VL-COOH scFv.
[0437] The term "single-domain antibody (sdAb)" has the meaning generally understood by those skilled in the art, and refers to an antibody fragment composed of a single monomeric variable antibody domain (e.g., a single heavy chain variable region), and such an antibody fragment retains the ability to specifically bind to the same antigen as the full-length antibody (Holt, L. et al., Trends in Biotechnology, 21(11):484-490, 2003). Single-domain antibodies are also called nanobodies.
[0438] Each of the above antibody fragments retains the ability to specifically bind to the same antigen as the full-length antibody, and / or the ability to compete with the full-length antibody for specific binding to the antigen.
[0439] Herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, when referring to the term "antibody", it includes not only intact antibodies, but also antigen-binding fragments of antibodies.
[0440] Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies (e.g., those described above) can be obtained from a given antibody (e.g., an antibody provided herein) using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art (e.g., recombinant DNA technology or enzymatic or chemical cleavage methods), and the antigen-binding fragments of antibodies can be screened for specificity in the same manner as for intact antibodies.
[0441] The term "murine antibody" refers to antibodies obtained by fusing B cells from immunized mice with myeloma cells, screening for murine hybrid fusion cells that can both proliferate indefinitely and secrete antibodies, followed by screening, antibody preparation, and antibody purification; or refers to antibodies secreted by plasma cells formed by the differentiation and proliferation of B cells in mice after antigen invasion.
[0442] The term "humanized antibody" refers to a non-human antibody that has been genetically engineered and whose amino acid sequence has been modified to increase the homology with the sequence of a human antibody. Generally speaking, all or part of the CDR region of a humanized antibody comes from a non-human antibody (donor antibody), and all or part of the non-CDR region (e.g., variable region FR and / or constant region) comes from a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody). Humanized antibodies generally retain the expected properties of the donor antibody, including but not limited to, antigen specificity, affinity, reactivity, ability to increase immune cell activity, ability to enhance immune response, etc. The donor antibody can be a mouse, rat, rabbit or non-human primate (e.g., cynomolgus monkey) antibody with the expected properties (e.g., antigen specificity, affinity, reactivity, ability to increase immune cell activity and / or ability to enhance immune response).
[0443] The term "identity" is used to refer to the match of sequences between two polypeptides or between two nucleic acids. When a position in both sequences being compared is occupied by the same base or amino acid monomer subunit (e.g., a position in each of the two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, or a position in each of the two polypeptides is occupied by lysine), then the molecules are identical at that position. "Percent identity" between two sequences is the function obtained by the following formula: the number of matching positions shared by the two sequences divided by the number of positions compared × 100. For example, if 6 out of 10 positions in two sequences match, then the two sequences have 60% identity. For example, the DNA sequences CTGACT and CAGGTT share 50% identity (3 out of 6 total positions match). Typically, two sequences are compared when they are aligned for maximum identity. Such alignment can be achieved, for example, by using the method of Needleman et al. (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443-453, which can be conveniently performed using a computer program such as the Align program (DNAstar, Inc.). The percent identity between two amino acid sequences can also be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller (Comput. Appl Biosci., 4:11-17 (1988)), which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4. In addition, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences can be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch (J Mol. Biol. 48:444-453 (1970)) algorithm, which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at www.gcg.com), using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
[0444] The term "conservative substitution" means an amino acid substitution that does not adversely affect or change the expected properties of the protein / polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence. For example, conservative substitutions can be introduced by standard techniques known in the art such as site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Conservative amino acid substitutions include substitutions in which amino acid residues are substituted with amino acid residues having similar side chains, such as substitutions with residues that are physically or functionally similar to the corresponding amino acid residues (e.g., having similar size, shape, charge, chemical properties, including the ability to form covalent bonds or hydrogen bonds, etc.). Families of amino acid residues with similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, and histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Thus, it is preferred to replace the corresponding amino acid residue with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Methods for identifying conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art (see, e.g., Brummell et al., Biochem. 32: 1180-1187 (1993); Kobayashi et al. Protein Eng. 12(10): 879-884 (1999); and Burks et al. Proc. Natl Acad. Set USA 94: 412-417 (1997), which are incorporated herein by reference).
[0445] The twenty conventional amino acids referred to herein are denoted according to conventional usage. See, for example, Immunology-A Synthesis (2nd Edition, E.S. Golub and D.R. Gren, Eds., Sinauer Associates, Sunderland, Mass. (1991)), which is incorporated herein by reference. In the present invention, amino acids are generally represented by single-letter and three-letter abbreviations known in the art. For example, alanine can be represented by A or Ala.
[0446] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or excipient" refers to a carrier and / or excipient that is pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient, which is well known in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. Edited by Gennaro AR, 19th edition. Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Company, 1995), and includes, but is not limited to, pH regulators, surfactants, adjuvants, ionic strength enhancers, diluents, agents that maintain osmotic pressure, agents that delay absorption, and preservatives. For example, pH regulators include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffers. Surfactants include, but are not limited to, cationic, anionic, or nonionic surfactants, such as Tween-80. Ionic strength enhancers include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride. Preservatives include, but are not limited to, various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. Agents that maintain osmotic pressure include, but are not limited to, sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Agents that delay absorption include, but are not limited to, monostearate and gelatin. Diluents include, but are not limited to, water, aqueous buffers (such as buffered saline), alcohols, and polyols (such as glycerol). Preservatives include, but are not limited to, various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as thimerosal, 2-phenoxyethanol, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. Stabilizers have the meanings generally understood by those skilled in the art, and can stabilize the desired activity of the active ingredient in the drug, including, but not limited to, sodium glutamate, gelatin, SPGA, sugars (such as sorbitol, mannitol, starch, sucrose, lactose, dextran, or glucose), amino acids (such as glutamic acid, glycine), proteins (such as dry whey, albumin, or casein), or degradation products thereof (such as whey protein hydrolyzate), and the like.
[0447] The terms "comprises," "comprising," "having," "containing," or "involving," and other variations thereof herein, are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional unrecited elements or method steps.
[0448] The term "effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to achieve the desired clinical effect in the individual being treated. For example, this may be the amount necessary to alleviate any particular disease symptom or to inhibit or reduce the severity of the disease or its complications. Determining such an effective amount is entirely within the capabilities of those skilled in the art. For example, the effective amount for therapeutic use will depend on the severity of the disease to be treated, the general state of the patient's own immune system, the patient's general condition (e.g., age, weight, and sex), the mode of administration of the drug, and other treatments administered simultaneously. The therapeutically effective amount of an ADC may vary according to the following factors: the severity of the disease to be treated, the general state of the patient's own immune system, the patient's general condition such as age, weight, and sex, the mode of administration of the drug, and other treatments administered simultaneously.
[0449] The term "treatment" refers to methods implemented to obtain a beneficial or desired clinical outcome in a subject (human or animal subject) who exhibits symptoms of a disease or has been diagnosed with a disease ("in need of treatment"). For purposes of the present invention, beneficial or desired clinical outcomes include, but are not limited to, relief of symptoms, reduction in the extent of the disease, stabilization of the disease state (i.e., no worsening), delay or slowing of disease progression, improvement or alleviation of the disease state, and relief of symptoms (whether partial or complete), whether detectable or not. In addition, "treatment" may also refer to prolonging survival compared to the expected survival if not receiving treatment.
[0450] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to a mammal, such as a primate mammal, such as a human. In certain embodiments, the subject (eg, human) suffers from a tumor, or is at risk of suffering from the above-mentioned disease.
[0451] The terms "cancer" and "tumor" are used interchangeably to refer to a broad category of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Uncontrolled cell division may lead to the formation of malignant tumors, or cells that invade neighboring tissues and may metastasize to distant sites in the body via the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Cancer includes both benign and malignant cancers, as well as dormant tumors or micrometastases. Cancer also includes hematologic malignancies.
[0452] The term "hematological malignancy" includes lymphomas, leukemias, myelomas or lymphoid malignancies, as well as tumors of the spleen and lymph nodes. Exemplary lymphomas include B-cell lymphomas and T-cell lymphomas. B-cell lymphomas include, for example, Hodgkin's lymphoma. T-cell lymphomas include, for example, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Hematological malignancies also include leukemias, such as secondary leukemias or acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Hematological malignancies also include myeloma (e.g., multiple myeloma) and other blood and / or B-cell or T-cell related cancers.
[0453] The term "alkyl" refers to a group obtained by removing one hydrogen atom from a straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group, for example, "C 1-20 Alkyl", "C 1-10 Alkyl", "C 1-6 Alkyl", "C 1-4 Alkyl", "C 1-3alkyl”, etc., specific examples include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, 2-methylbutyl, neopentyl, 1-ethylpropyl, n-hexyl, isohexyl, 3-methylpentyl, 2-methylpentyl, 1-methylpentyl, 3,3-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 2,3-dimethylbutyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, etc.

[1293] Coupling
[1294] In another aspect, the present application provides a method for conjugating the drug-linker described herein to the antibody described herein to prepare the antibody drug conjugate (ADC) described herein.
[1295] In certain embodiments, an antibody described herein is conjugated to a drug-linker described herein via a lysine in the antibody.
[1296] In certain embodiments, the antibodies described herein are conjugated to the drug-linkers described herein via cysteine residues in the antibodies. In certain embodiments, the cysteine residues are derived from reduced intrachain disulfide bonds in the antibodies. In certain embodiments, the cysteine residues are derived from reduced interchain disulfide bonds in the antibodies.
[1297] In some embodiments, the antibody is conjugated to the drug-linker via reduced interchain disulfide bonds in the antibody. For example, an IgG1 antibody is composed of four polypeptide chains, two heavy chains comprising VH, CH1, and Fc (e.g., hinge, CH2, and CH3) domains, and two light chains comprising VL and CL domains, connected by interchain cysteine disulfide bonds (-SS-) (e.g., two heavy chain-light chain interchain disulfide bonds and two hinge heavy chain-heavy chain interchain disulfide bonds). In certain embodiments, when these disulfide bonds are cleaved under reducing conditions, eight (8) reactive cysteine thiol moieties are generated. In certain embodiments, each of the eight reactive cysteine thiol moieties is a site of attachment for a drug-linker, such that a maximum of eight (x=8) drug-linkers can be attached to the reduced antibody. In certain embodiments, any one of the four disulfide bonds is cleaved under reducing conditions, resulting in two (2) reactive cysteine thiol moieties. In further embodiments, each of the two reactive cysteine thiol moieties is a site of attachment for a drug-linker, such that two (x=2) drug-linkers can be attached to the reduced antibody. In certain embodiments, any two of the four disulfide bonds are cleaved under reducing conditions, resulting in four (4) reactive cysteine thiol moieties. In further embodiments, each of the four reactive cysteine thiol moieties is a site of attachment for a drug-linker, such that four (x=4) drug-linkers can be attached to the reduced antibody. In certain embodiments, any three of the four disulfide bonds are cleaved under reducing conditions, resulting in six (6) reactive cysteine thiol moieties. In further embodiments, each of the six reactive cysteine thiol moieties is a site of attachment for a drug-linker, such that six (x=6) drug-linkers can be attached to the reduced antibody.
[1298] In some embodiments, the interchain disulfide bond is located between two cysteine residues, which break under reducing conditions to produce two reactive cysteine sulfhydryl moieties. In a further embodiment, the interchain disulfide bond in the antibody is located between the heavy chain and the light chain, for example, between C220 of the heavy chain according to EU numbering and C214 of the kappa light chain, or between C220 of the heavy chain according to EU numbering and C214 of the lambda light chain according to Kabat numbering. In addition, or alternatively, the interchain disulfide bond in the antibody is located between the two heavy chains, for example, between C226 and / or C229 of the first heavy chain according to EU numbering and C226 and / or C229 of the second heavy chain. In some embodiments, the cysteine residue is located in the hinge region of the antibody. In some embodiments, according to EU numbering, the cysteine residue is located at any one or more of positions 220, 226, or 229 in the heavy chain (also referred to herein as C220, C226, or C229, respectively). In some embodiments, the cysteine residue is located at position 214 of the light chain (also referred to herein as C214, e.g., at position 214 of a kappa light chain according to EU and / or Kabat numbering, or at position 214 of a lambda light chain according to Kabat numbering) according to EU and / or Kabat numbering. In one embodiment, the cysteine residue is located at position 220, 226, and 229 of the heavy chain according to EU and / or Kabat numbering, or at position 214 of a light chain according to EU or Kabat numbering. In one embodiment, the cysteine residue is located at position 220, 226, and 229 of the heavy chain according to EU and / or Kabat numbering, or at position 214 of a kappa light chain according to EU and Kabat numbering. In one embodiment, the cysteine residue is located at position 220, 226, and 229 of the heavy chain according to EU and Kabat numbering, or at position 214 of a lambda light chain according to Kabat numbering. In one embodiment, the cysteine residue is located at any one or more of the following positions:
[1299] (i) any one, any two, any three, or all four of positions 220, 226, and 229 in the first heavy chain, according to EU numbering;
[1300] (ii) any one, any two, any three, or all four of positions 220, 226, and 229 in the second heavy chain, according to EU numbering;
[1301] (iii) position 214 in the first light chain according to Kabat numbering; and / or
[1302] (iv) Position 214 in the second light chain according to Kabat numbering.
[1303] As used herein, C220, C226, and C229 refer to amino acid residues of immunoglobulins identified according to EU numbering (cysteine, Cys, C). As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, such numbering correspondingly represents amino acid residues of polypeptides that align with the defined amino acid residues of immunoglobulins, as shown in www.imgt.org / IMGTScientificChart / Numbering / Hu_IGHGnber.html.
[1304] As used herein, the cysteine residue at position 214 of the kappa light chain refers to the amino acid residues of immunoglobulins identified according to Kabat numbering (cysteine, Cys, C). As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, such numbering correspondingly represents amino acid residues of polypeptides that align with the defined amino acid residues of immunoglobulins, as shown in www.imgt.org / IMGTScientificChart / Numbering / Hu_IGKCnber.html.
[1305] As used herein, the cysteine residue at position 214 of the lambda light chain refers to the amino acid residues of immunoglobulins identified according to Kabat numbering (cysteine, Cys, C).
