Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 2023116270832 with an application date of November 30, 2023. This application incorporates the entire text of the above-mentioned Chinese patent application by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and particularly to a high camptothecin antibody-drug conjugate, its preparation method and application. Background Art
[0003] Camptothecin (CPT) is a pentacyclic alkaloid isolated from the bark and stems of Camptotheca acuminata, which is native to China. Camptothecin can inhibit topoisomerase I, leading to cell death. Due to its cytotoxic mechanism and broad-spectrum antitumor activity, efforts have been made to develop clinical analogs of camptothecin.
[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are complexes that conjugate cytotoxic small molecule drugs to monoclonal antibodies through a rationally constructed linker, which can selectively deliver effective cytotoxic drugs into tumors, thereby increasing the targeting of drugs, improving efficacy, and reducing side effects. Recently, camptothecin-like compounds have been applied as small molecules in some antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). For example, SN38 and DXd are used as warhead molecules in the marketed ADC drugs Trodelvy and Enhertu, respectively. Patent applications WO2020063676 and CN 112125915 have made modifications to the DXD compound. However, compared with traditional camptothecin, high camptothecin (hCPT) compounds with a β-hydroxy lactone ring structure retain high antitumor activity (Bailly, C. Crit. Rev. Oncol. Hematol. 2003, 45, 91), and the Topo I inhibitory activity of Diflomotecan is stronger than that of camptothecin (Kroep, J. R.; Gelderblom, H. Expert.Opin. Investig. Drugs 2009, 18, 69). However, due to the lack of suitable conjugation sites, their application in ADCs has not been reported yet. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect that high camptothecin derivatives cannot be conjugated in the prior art and develop new high camptothecin antibody-drug conjugates. The antibody-drug conjugates provided by the present invention have good cytotoxic activity and can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells. The antibody-drug conjugates provided by the present invention also have good in vivo antitumor activity and can significantly inhibit tumor growth.

[0209] Experimental Example 1. Determination of the inhibitory activity of compounds on the proliferation of tumor cells
[0210] The SRB method was used to test the effects of homocamptothecin derivatives II-1, II-2, II-3, II-4, II-5, II-6 and DXd (CAS No. 1599440-33-1, purchased from Shanghai Xiyao Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.) on the proliferation ability of tumor cells. Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into 96-well culture plates at the corresponding concentrations, and each well was cultured overnight with 100 μL of complete medium. Different concentrations of the compounds were added, with three replicates for each concentration, and positive control wells without compound treatment and negative control wells without cells were set up. The cells were cultured at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 72 h. After the drug treatment, the inhibitory effect of the compounds on cell proliferation was detected by the sulforhodamine B (SRB) protein staining method. The specific operation steps were as follows: Pour out the culture medium, fix the cells with 10% trichloroacetic acid, place them at 4 °C for 1 h, then wash them 5 times with distilled water, and dry them in an oven. Add 100 μL / well of an SRB solution (4 mg / ml) prepared with 1% glacial acetic acid, stain at room temperature for 15 min, remove the supernatant, wash 5 times with 1% glacial acetic acid, and dry in an oven. Finally, add 150 μL / well of Tris solution, shake well, and measure the OD value at 560 nm with a full-wavelength microplate reader SpectraMax190. The inhibition rate of the compounds on cell proliferation was calculated by the following formula:
[0211] Inhibition rate (%) = [1 - (OD of drug-treated wells - OD of negative control wells) / (OD of positive control wells - OD of negative control wells)] × 100%.
[0212] The cell lines used in this screening are shown in Table 1, and the results of the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation by compounds II-1, II-2, II-3, II-4, II-5, II-6 and DXD are shown in Table 2.

[0217] Experimental Example 2. Test methods for HER2-ADC1~ADC7 and HER2-GGFG-DXD on the proliferation ability of tumor cells:
[0218] Digest the NCI-N87 cells, resuspend the cells, count them, centrifuge to remove the supernatant, and adjust the cell density. Count the cells with a cell counter, aspirate 20 μL of the cell suspension, mix it with 20 μL of VisStain AOPI staining solution, take 20 μL of the liquid, and count the cells. Seed the cells into a 96-well cell culture plate, add 180 μL to each well, seed 1000 cells or 2000 cells per well. Gently tap to mix, and place the cell culture plate in a 37°C cell incubator for 16 hours. Dilute the compound with RPMI1640 medium / 10% FBS, add 20 μL to each well, with the maximum concentration being 100 nM, 3-fold dilution, 10 points. The vehicle control is DMSO, and add 20 μL of RPMI1640 medium / 10% FBS to the blank control. Gently tap to mix, and place the cell culture plate in a 37°C cell incubator for 7 days. After 7 days of culture, take the cell plate out of the incubator, aspirate the culture medium, add 20 μL of the culture medium, and then add 20 μL of CTG to each well. Oscillate on an oscillator for 5 min, let it stand at room temperature for 10 min, take 30 μL of the reaction solution into a Viewplate-96 white clear-bottom microplate, and perform data analysis on an EnVision microplate reader.
[0219] Calculation formula: Use the following formula to calculate the inhibition rate (IR) of the test antibody: IR (%) = (1 – (RLU antibody – RLU blank control) / (RLU vehicle control – RLU blank control)) * 100%. Calculate the inhibition rate of antibodies at different concentrations in Excel, and then use GraphPad Prism software to make an inhibition curve and calculate relevant parameters. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0221]
[0222] Experimental Example 3. Antitumor efficacy test of HER2-ADCs on a xenograft NCI-N87 cell animal model in NOG mice:
[0223] In this experiment, the antitumor effect of HER2-ADCs was determined by subcutaneous inoculation of NCI-N87 cells into NOG mice.
[0224] NOG mice: Female NOG mice (6 weeks old) were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. The mice were adaptively fed for 7 days after arrival and then the study began.
[0225] Cells: Human gastric cancer NCI-N87 cells (from ATCC, catalog number CRL-5822), were routinely passaged and cultured according to the instructions; the cells were resuspended in serum-free medium and the cell density was adjusted. On day 0, the cell suspension was subcutaneously inoculated into the right axilla of female NOG mice to establish an NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mouse model.
[0226] Drug administration:
[0227] On the 10th day after tumor cell inoculation, the tumor volume of each mouse was measured, and mice with a tumor volume in the range of 130 mm 3 ~250 mm 3 were selected and evenly grouped according to tumor volume (5 mice in each group). Drugs were administered on the 11th day after inoculation, including negative control antibody (human IgG Control, source: Hangzhou Haoyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number: HSP067-F1), positive control antibody Trastuzumab (HER2 antibody, CAS: 180288-69-1, purchased from Hangzhou Haoyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), positive control HER2-GGFG-DXd, HER2-ADC3, and HER2-ADC5. During drug administration, the tumor volume and body weight changes of each group of mice were monitored, and the monitoring frequency was 2 times / week for 3 consecutive weeks. Body weight and tumor volume were measured before each drug administration. On the 30th day after inoculation, the tumor volume inhibition rate (TGI%) was calculated. The calculation formula was as follows: TGI (%) = [1 - (Ti - T0) / (Vi - V0)] × 100; where Ti: the average tumor volume of the drug administration group, T0: the average tumor volume of the drug administration group on day D0, Vi: the average tumor volume of the isotype control group, V0: the average tumor volume of the isotype control group on day D0. Tumor volume measurement: The long diameter (a) and short diameter (b) of the tumor were measured using a vernier caliper, and the tumor volume was calculated according to the following formula: TV = 1 / 2 × a × b 2 . Body weight was measured using an electronic balance.
[0228] The drug administration dose and method are shown in Table 4.
[0229] Table 4. Drug administration experimental design
[0230]
[0231] As shown in Table 5 and Figure 1 indicated, on the 30th day after inoculation, the tumor volume inhibition rate of the positive control antibody HER2-GGFG-DXd was 107.03%; HER2-ADC3 and HER2-ADC5 also significantly inhibited tumor growth at a dose of 4 mg / kg, and the tumor volume inhibition rates were 115.16% and 114.52%, respectively.
