Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and specifically relates to a linker containing azobenzene, a protein-coupled drug containing the linker, a pharmaceutical composition containing the protein-coupled drug, and the use of these protein-coupled drugs for treating and / or preventing diseases. Background Art
[0002] Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is composed of antibodies and effector molecules covalently coupled via linkers. It combines the strong targeting ability of antibodies with the high activity of effector molecules and is known as a "biological missile" for the precise delivery of effector molecules (Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2022, 7(1):93).
[0003] In essence, all ADCs on the market are macromolecular prodrugs, and their targeting efficiency is improved by more than 100 times compared with small molecule drugs (Clinical Cancer Research, 2015, 21 (22): 5131-5138). The linker is a key factor affecting the therapeutic index of ADC. At present, two recognized linker design principles, namely high stability during blood circulation and effective release of effector molecules in the lesion site, have achieved differential recognition of blood and lesion sites to a certain extent (Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, 2021, 18 (6): 327-344; Chemical Society Reviews, 2019, 48 (16): 4361-4374). Therefore, efficient cleavage enzymes widely distributed in human tissues, such as cathepsins and glucuronidases, are often considered for the design of linkers for macromolecular conjugates (Cancer Res, 2017, 77 (24): 7027-7037; Bioconjugate chemistry, 2006, 17 (3): 831-840). However, the above-mentioned lytic enzyme-responsive ADCs cannot achieve specific drug release at the lesion site and are prone to off-target toxicity and other related problems.
[0004] Specifically, ADC has been widely used in the field of anti-tumor. However, clinical studies have shown that only less than 0.1% of ADC drugs injected into the body can accumulate in the lesions, and the remaining more than 99% of ADCs are off-target (Clinical cancer research, 2011, 17 (20): 6389-6397; The AAPS journal, 2015, 17: 525-534). Therefore, ADCs targeted to normal tissues (such as liver and lungs) will inevitably lead to nonspecific release of effector molecules (such as MMAE) under the action of cleavage enzymes, resulting in serious off-target toxicity (such as bone marrow suppression and hepatotoxicity), thereby limiting the increase in effective clinical doses (Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2020, 10 (9): 1589-1600; Current opinion inimmunology, 2016, 40: 14-23; Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2019, 200: 110-125). Obviously, the existing linker technology does not truly achieve the specific release of effector molecules to the lesion site, but only relies on the targeting effect of antibodies, which will inevitably lead to off-target effector molecules and limit the advantages of ADC.
[0005] On the other hand, antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus remains a public health problem, and approximately 40% of bloodstream infections in the United States are caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). There are few FDA-approved treatment options for MRSA bloodstream infections, and vancomycin remains the antibiotic of choice. Despite appropriate antibiotic treatment, the mortality rate of Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections is still approximately 18%, which has prompted research on combinations / combinations that can improve treatment outcomes. ADC technology has been relatively rarely used in the antibacterial field. Reported antimicrobial conjugates rely on host cells rather than the lesion microenvironment to release antibiotics to exert their antibacterial effects (Nature 527.7578 (2015): 323-328), which to some extent limits the application of ADC technology in the antibacterial field.
[0006] Therefore, new linkers need to be developed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0007] The present invention provides a linker containing azobenzene, and also provides a protein-coupled drug containing the linker. Studies have shown that azoreductase is a type of reductase widely distributed in hypoxic tumors (Chemical Communications, 2019, 55 (22): 3235-3238; Chemical Communications, 2019, 55 (87): 13172-13175) and bacteria (Crit. Rev. Microbiol. 18: 175-190; Curr. Prot. Pept. Sci. 7: 101-111), which is rarely distributed in normal tissues. The protein-coupled drug provided by the present invention can be specifically recognized by azoreductase and reduce the azobenzene structure, causing the breakage of the azo bond, and specifically releasing the drug at the lesion site to achieve the effect of treating the disease.

[0319] definition
[0320] As used herein, the term "antibody" is a common immunoglobulin, a Y-shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects (such as bacteria and viruses). Antibodies can specifically recognize unique parts of foreign targets (called antigens) because each tip of the Y-shaped protein antibody contains a site that can specifically recognize the antigen. After the antibody binds to the specific antigen, it can mediate a variety of related biological effects. Antibodies are composed of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains, and the chains are connected by disulfide bonds formed by the sulfhydryl groups in the cysteine residues. "Monoclonal antibodies" are single-specific antibodies, all of which are composed of the same immune cells that are cloned as the only parental cells, so all antibody molecules are identical.
[0321] As used herein, the term "cytotoxin" refers to molecules that are toxic to cancer cells after release in the cancer cells. Toxins of particular interest in the present invention include methyl auristatin E (MMAE), auristatin, maytansinoid or its derivatives (e.g., maytansinoids, DM1, DM3, DM4), calicheamicin, duocarmycin, doxorubicin, camptothecin or PBD-type cytotoxins.
[0322] As used herein, the term "linker" is a molecule with two reactive ends, one end of which can be coupled to an antibody, and the other end is used to couple to an active compound, such as a cytotoxin. The antibody coupling end of the linker is usually a site that can be coupled through the sulfhydryl group of the cysteine or the lysine amine group on the antibody, and the coupling end of the toxin of the linker is usually an active site that can be coupled through the sulfhydryl, amino, carboxyl or hydroxyl groups on the toxin molecule. When the term linker is used to describe the linker in a coupled form, since the linker has reacted with one or both of the antibody and the cytotoxin to form a covalent bond, it may no longer include one or two reactive terminal reaction sites (such as the leaving group of the sulfhydryl reactive group, the leaving group of the amine reactive group).
[0323] As used herein, the term "antibody-drug conjugate" or "ADC" or "antibody-drug conjugate" has the same meaning, which is a product formed by coupling multiple molecules (usually 1-8) of cytotoxins to antibody molecules through a linker.

[0395] Figure 1 The DAR and polymerization degree test results of compound III-2 are shown.
[0396] Figure 2 The DAR and polymerization degree test results of compounds III-1, 3, 4, 5 and VC-ADC are shown.
[0397] Figure 3 The results of stability evaluation of compound III-2 in plasma are shown.
[0398] Figure 4 The results of the study on the binding ability of compound III-2 to HER2 antigen are shown. The results show that ( Figure 4 ), compound III-2 and Herceptin have comparable binding affinity to HER2 antigen, EC 50 The values were 0.14 μg / mL and 0.042 μg / mL respectively.
[0399] Figure 5 The results of the binding study of compound III-2 on cell lines are shown. The results showed that Herceptin and compound III-2 both showed strong fluorescence in HER2-positive SKOV3 cells ( Figure 5 In the right figure), weak fluorescence was observed in HER2-negative MCF-7 cells ( Figure 5 ), indicating that compound III-2 specifically targets the HER2 antigen of tumor cells.
[0400] Figure 6 The results of the endocytosis study of compound III-2 on cell lines are shown. The results show that the internalization rate of compound III-2 is slightly higher than that of Herceptin, 34.1% vs. 22.1% at 8h and 41.7% vs. 31.1% at 24h.
[0401] Figure 7The binding and endocytosis imaging results of compound III-2 on cell lines are shown. The results show that Herceptin and compound III-2 were incubated with cells at 4°C, under which conditions the antibody bound to the antigen on the cell membrane surface but was not internalized. After incubation at 37°C for 24 hours, the intracellular protein signal co-localized with the lysosomal signal (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.87), indicating that compound III-2 was internalized and transported to the lysosome.
[0402] Figure 8 The results of the study on the cell proliferation inhibition activity of compound III-2 on HER2 antigen-positive and negative cell lines were shown. The results showed that compound III-2 showed strong cell proliferation inhibition activity on NCI-N87, BT-474 and SKBR3 cell lines under hypoxic conditions, EC 50 The values were 0.07nM, 0.026nM and 0.015nM, respectively, while the activity against HER2-negative cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231) was lower (EC 50 >100nM).
[0403] Fig. 9 The results of the hypoxia-dependent in vitro cytotoxicity study of compound III-2 are shown. The results show that compound III-2 exhibits oxygen concentration-dependent cell proliferation inhibitory activity, and the proliferation inhibitory activity increases with the decrease of oxygen concentration. Under oxygen concentrations of 20%, 5%, 1% and 0.1%, the EC of compound III-2 on SKOV3 cells 50 The values were 66.8nM, 3.74nM, 0.079nM, and 0.063nM, respectively, and the EC values on BT474-HDR cells were 50 The values are 109.1nM, 9.12nM, 0.57nM, and 0.19nM respectively.
[0404] Fig.10 The results of the bystander effect study of compound III-2 are shown. Under normoxic conditions, the cytotoxic activity of compound III-2 in the co-culture model was reduced to the μM level (EC 50 ≈0.1μM), which indicates that compound III-2 has high safety in normal tissues. Under hypoxic conditions, compound III-2 maintains high activity in the co-culture model, EC 50 =0.053 nM. The above results indicate that compound III-2 has a bystander effect in tumor tissues and also has a killing effect on tumor cells with low HER2 expression.
[0405] Fig.11The results of the study on the proliferation inhibition activity of compound III-2 on normal cell lines are shown. At the highest tested concentration (666nM) of normal cells NIH3T3 and 293T, compound III-2 only showed weak inhibitory activity, with a maximum inhibition rate of <50%. However, traditional VC-ADC still showed high off-target toxicity (EC 50 <10 nM, maximum inhibition rate >90%).
[0406] Fig.12 The results of the drug release study of compound III-2 under the action of azoreductase are shown. The results show that the release amount of MMAE is dually dependent on the concentration of azoreductase and oxygen concentration. Under hypoxic conditions (0.1% O 2 ), the amount of MMAE released increased with the increase of azoreductase concentration. After incubation of substrate and azoreductase (0.4 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL and 0.05 mg / mL) for 24 hours, the amount of MMAE released was 100%, 74.3% and 27.49%, respectively. Under normoxic conditions (20% O 2 ), after the substrate was incubated with 0.1 mg / mL azoreductase for 24 hours, only 14.99% MMAE was released. This result shows that the linker based on azoreductase cleavage provided by the present invention can be cleaved and release toxins under the combined action of hypoxic conditions and azoreductase, while the amount of toxin released is very small under the action of azoreductase alone.
[0407] Fig.13 The results of the study on the effects of oxidative, reductive and salt substances on the stability of compound II-2 were shown. The results showed that NAC-II-2 could release MMAE via azoreductase only under hypoxic conditions, and showed excellent stability when co-incubated with other redox-related substances, such as Cys, NADPH, and NaClO.
[0408] Fig.14 The results of the metabolite study of compound III-2 in cells are shown. The results show that compound III-2 was co-cultured with SKOV3 cells under hypoxia, MMAE was detected in SKOV3 cells, and the release of MMAE was time-dependent. This result directly indicates that compound III-2 can be cleaved and release MMAE in tumor cells under hypoxic conditions. More importantly, compound III-2 was co-cultured with SKOV3 cells under normoxic conditions, Cys-II-2 was the main metabolite and its release was time-dependent, while the amount of Cys-II-2 in cells under hypoxia was very low. This result indicates that under normoxic conditions, the antibody of compound III-2 is degraded and released Cys-II-2 will not be further cleaved by azoreductase.
[0409] Fig.15The results of the cytotoxicity study of Cys-II-2 are shown. The results show that the cytotoxic activity of Cys-II-2 is reduced by more than ten to hundreds of times compared with MMAE.
[0410] Fig.16 The results of the study on the inhibition of tubulin by Cys-II-2 are shown. The results show that the tubulin inhibitory activity of Cys-II-2 is lower than that of MMAE and is concentration-dependent.
[0411] Fig.17 The results of the cell cycle arrest study of compound III-2 are shown. The results showed that compound III-2 caused G2 / M phase arrest of tumor cells with hypoxia selectivity. Under normoxic conditions, after treatment with compound III-2 at concentrations of 0.3nM, 1nM and 3nM, the proportion of G2 / M phase cells was similar to that of the untreated group (17.50%). On the contrary, under hypoxia, after treatment with the same concentration of compound III-2, the proportion of G2 / M phase cells was maintained at 71.12%-87.22%.
[0412] Fig.18 The results of the study on the induction of cell apoptosis by compound III-2 are shown. The results show that under normoxic conditions (20% O 2 ) had little effect on cell apoptosis. In contrast, under hypoxic conditions (0.1% O 2 ) Compound III-2 induced apoptosis in more than half of the cells. The apoptosis results showed that compound III-2 had good hypoxia selectivity.
[0413] Fig.19 The distribution of compound III-2 labeled with DyLight-680 dye in mice is shown. The results showed that DyLight 680-Herceptin (25 mg / kg) and DyLight 680-III-2 (25 mg / kg) labeled with DyLight 680 were injected into mice by tail vein injection. A strong fluorescence signal could be clearly observed at the tumor site 6 hours after administration, and the fluorescence at the tumor site was clearly maintained for about 9 days. The fluorescence signal finally disappeared on the 15th day after administration. From the fluorescence signal intensity change curve, it was found that the DyLight 680-III-2 curve was almost consistent with the change curve of DyLight 680-Herceptin. The result showed that compound III-2 had similar metabolic properties to Herceptin. In addition, the fluorescence intensity at the tumor site was significantly higher than that of other normal tissues. The above results show that compound III-2 has excellent tumor targeting and a long half-life in vivo.
[0414] Fig. 20The drug distribution and metabolism of compound III-2 were shown. The results showed that high concentrations of prodrug Cys-II-2 were detected in the blood and peripheral tissues 6 hours after administration of compound III-2. In addition, the results showed that Cys-II-2 can be quickly cleared in normal tissues, and the half-life of Cys-II-2 in the blood is only 26 hours, which will further reduce its toxicity and side effects. After 96 hours of administration, Cys-II-2 was almost undetectable in the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs. The peak concentration and drug-time curve area of the toxin MMAE in the tumor were 293 times and 941 times that of the peripheral blood, respectively, which further confirmed that compound III-2 has excellent targeting. The drug-time curve area of MMAE in the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs accounted for 11%, 47%, 5%, and 7% of the drug-time curve area of the tumor, respectively. The results show that Cys-II-2 in peripheral tissues, except for the liver, cannot be metabolized into MMAE, while Cys-II-2 in tumors can effectively release MMAE.
[0415] Fig.21 The anti-tumor effect of compound III-2 on NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mice was shown. The results showed that in the NCI-N87 tumor xenograft model, compared with the control group, the compound III-2 group at a dose of 5 mg / kg could significantly inhibit tumor growth, with a tumor inhibition rate of 90.97%. This result shows that compound III-2 can achieve almost the same anti-tumor effect as traditional VC-ADC. More importantly, all mouse tumors in the 10 mg / kg dose group completely regressed, indicating that compound III-2 has excellent anti-tumor therapeutic potential.
[0416] Fig. 22 The results showed that compound III-2 had an anti-tumor effect on JIMT-1 tumor-bearing mice. The results showed that in the JIMT-1 xenograft model, compound III-2 still showed an anti-tumor effect at a dose of 12 mg / kg. Although the tumor did not completely disappear, the inhibition rate reached 62.36%.
[0417] Fig.23 The anti-tumor effect of compound III-2 combined with Herceptin, bevacizumab, sunitinib or docetaxel on NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mice was shown. The results showed that the compound III-2 combined with sunitinib administration group showed a stronger anti-tumor effect (p<0.01), which was better than compound III-2 and other combination groups. In the combined administration group, only 3mg / kg III-2 can almost achieve the effect of complete tumor regression, with a tumor inhibition rate of 98.93%. The above results show that the excellent tumor inhibition effect of combined administration may come from the fact that angiogenesis inhibitors can expand the range of tumor tissue hypoxia and enhance the degree of hypoxia in tumor tissue, thereby further improving the efficacy of compound III-2.
[0418] Fig.24 The results of the maximum tolerated dose study of compound III-2 are shown. The results show that the MTD of compound III-2 is >200 mg / kg, while the mice in the VC-ADC group and the T-DM1 group experienced continuous weight loss (>20%) and severe adverse reactions since the start of administration. For example, all mice in the VC-ADC group died after being administered 120 mg / kg.
[0419] Fig.25 The results of hematological and histopathological studies of compound III-2 on BALB / C mice were shown. The results showed that there were no significant differences in blood markers of biochemistry, blood routine and histopathology between the compound III-2 administration group and the control group, while in the VC-ADC treatment group, the changes in blood biochemistry reflected the side effects of VC-ADC on the liver, such as increases in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and creatine kinase (CK). The side effects of VC-ADC were also reflected in hematological changes, including increases in lymphocyte counts (LYMPH), monocyte counts (MONO), and neutrophil counts (NEUT).
[0420] Fig.26 It was shown that compound III-16 had excellent anti-Staphylococcus aureus effect. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The results show ( Figure 7 ), Herceptin and compound III-2 were incubated with cells at 4°C, under which the antibody bound to the antigen on the cell membrane surface but was not internalized. After incubation at 37°C for 24 hours, the intracellular protein signal co-localized with the lysosomal signal (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.87), indicating that compound III-2 was internalized and transported to the lysosome.

[0658] ④Co-incubation of drugs and cells
[0659] The medium in the 96-well plate seeded with cells was removed, and 150 μL of fresh medium was added to each well. Then, 50 μL of the prepared test drug was added to the 96-well plate. Drugs and cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO 2 , 0.1% O 2 After incubation in the incubator for 24 h, the drug was washed away with fresh culture medium and the cells were placed at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 , 20% O 2 Incubate in the incubator for 72 h or 120 h.

[0667] %Viability=100×(Sample / HC)
[0668] HCs are cells that were not treated with the test drug.
[0669] Cytotoxicity results showed ( Figure 8 , Table 1), all cell lines were highly sensitive to MMAE, and their EC 50 The activity of compound III-2 in NCI-N87, BT-474 and SKBR3 cell lines was 0.01nM to 0.56nM under hypoxic conditions. 50The values were 0.07nM, 0.026nM and 0.015nM ( Figure 8 ), while compound III-2 had lower inhibitory activity against HER2-negative cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231) (EC 50 >100nM). The above results confirmed that under hypoxic conditions, compound III-2 has the same proliferation inhibitory activity as the toxin MMAE only in HER2-positive cell lines, but has weaker activity in HER2-negative cell lines.

[0673] Example 18: Hypoxia-dependent cytotoxicity study of compound III-2
[0674] In this example, the hypoxia-activated compound III-2 was subjected to hypoxia-dependent in vitro cytotoxicity study. The culture process of the tested cell lines, the Herceptin-resistant HER2 antigen-positive breast cancer cell line BT474-HDR and the HER2 antigen-positive ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3, was as described in Example 14. The oxygen concentration in the cell culture incubator was set to 0.1%, 1.0%, 5.0% and 20.0%, respectively. The cytotoxicity results showed that ( Fig. 9 , Table 2), the cytotoxic activity of compound III-2 increased with the decrease of oxygen concentration. Under the conditions of oxygen concentration of 20%, 5%, 1% and 0.1%, the EC of compound III-2 on SKOV3 cells 50 The values were 66.8nM, 3.74nM, 0.079nM, and 0.063nM, respectively, and the EC values on BT474-HDR cells were 50 The values were 109.1nM, 9.12nM, 0.57nM, and 0.19nM, respectively. The results showed that compound III-2 2 <1%), but weak activity under normoxic conditions. The activity of traditional VC-ADC did not show oxygen concentration dependence, and had strong cell proliferation inhibition activity regardless of normoxic or hypoxic conditions. This result indicates that traditional ADC has the risk of off-target toxicity ( Fig. 9 , Table 2).

[0676]
[0677] Example 19: Study on the bystander effect of compound III-2
[0678] In this example, the bystander effect of hypoxia-activated type III-2 was studied. The HER2 antigen-positive ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 and the HER2 antigen-weakly positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were inoculated in a well plate with a cell density of 1:1. The cell culture process was as described in Example 14, and the oxygen concentration in the cell culture incubator was set to 0.1% and 20.0%, respectively. The results showed that ( Fig.10 , Table 3), under normoxic conditions, the cytotoxic activity of compound III-2 in the co-culture model was reduced to μM level (EC 50 ≈0.1μM), which indicates that compound III-2 has high safety in normal tissues ( Figure 3 ). Under hypoxic conditions, compound III-2 maintained high activity in the co-culture model, EC 50 =0.053 nM. This result shows that compound III-2 has a bystander effect in tumor tissues and also has a killing effect on tumor cells with low HER2 expression ( Fig.10 , Table 3).

[0680]
[0681] Example 20: Cytotoxicity study of compound III-2 on normal cells
[0682] In this example, the toxicity of the hypoxia-activated compound III-2 to normal cells was studied. The cell lines tested were mouse embryonic fibroblasts NIH3T3, human renal epithelial cells 293T and human normal liver cells LO 2 The culture process is as described in Example 14. At the highest tested concentration (666 nM) of normal cells NIH3T3 and 293T, compound III-2 showed only weak inhibitory activity, with a maximum inhibition rate of <50% ( Fig.11 , Table 4). However, traditional VC-ADCs still exhibit high off-target toxicity (EC 50 <10nM, maximum inhibition rate>90%, Fig.11 , Table 4).

[0684]
[0685] Example 21: MMAE release study of compound II-2
[0686] This example evaluates the release of SN-38 by compound II-2 under the action of azoreductase. Compound II-2 was reacted with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA, 10 equivalents) to prepare a stock solution of MPA-II-2. The preparation method of MPA-II-2 was described in reference (Y. Wang, S. Fan, W. Zhong, X. Zhou, S. Li, Int. J. Mo. l Sci. 2017, 18, e1860.). At 0.1% O 2 MPA-II-2 (6 μL, 100 mM), NADPH (20 μL, 100 mL) and human NADPH-CYP reductase (5 μL, 10 μL or 40 μL, 18.8 mg / mL) were added to phosphate buffered saline containing 1% DMSO (v / v) and the mixture was incubated at 37°C. 2 ) were treated with human NADPH-CYP reductase (10 μL, 18.8 mg / mL), and other factors were consistent with the hypoxia group. Aliquots were collected at each set time point and quenched with acetonitrile before freezing at -80°C. After collecting the final aliquot, all samples were centrifuged to remove protein and analyzed by LC-MS / MS.
[0687] The results show that Fig.12 ), the release of MMAE showed a dual dependence on azoreductase concentration and oxygen concentration. Under hypoxic conditions (0.1% O 2 ), the amount of MMAE released increased with the increase of azoreductase concentration. After incubation of substrate and azoreductase (0.4 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL and 0.05 mg / mL) for 24 hours, the amount of MMAE released was 100%, 74.3% and 27.49%, respectively. Under normoxic conditions (20% O 2 ), after the substrate was incubated with 0.1 mg / mL azoreductase for 24 hours, only 14.99% of MMAE was released. This result shows that the linker based on azoreductase cleavage provided by the present invention can be cleaved and release toxins under the combined action of hypoxic conditions and azoreductase, while the amount of toxin released is very small when only azoreductase is used ( Fig.12 ).
[0688] Example 22: Effects of oxidizing properties, reducing properties, and salts on the stability of compound II-2
[0689] This example evaluates the effects of oxidative, reductive and salt substances on the stability of compound II-2. Compound II-2 was reacted with acetylcysteine (NAC, 10 equivalents) to prepare a stock solution of NAC-II-2. The preparation method of NAC-II-2 was described in reference (Y. Wang, S. Fan, W. Zhong, X. Zhou, S. Li, Int. J. Mo. l Sci. 2017, 18, e1860.). NAC-II-2 was reacted with Ary, Cys, NaCl, KCl, MgCl 2 ,CaCl 2 ,H 2 O 2 ,NaClO,Arg,Glu,Ser,Vc,Glucose,NADPH in 20% O 2 Incubated for 24 h in the presence of 0.1% O 2 The samples were incubated for 24 hours under the same environment. After incubation for 24 hours, all samples were quenched with methanol and the release of MMAE in the samples was detected by LC-MS / MS. The results showed that ( Fig.13 ), NAC-II-2 can release MMAE via azoreductase only under hypoxic conditions and exhibits excellent stability when co-incubated with other redox-related substances, such as Cys, NADPH, and NaClO.
[0690] Example 23: Study on the metabolites of compound III-2 in cells
[0691] This example evaluates the activity of compound III-2 in normoxia (20% O 2 ), hypoxia (0.1% O 2 ) under the condition of , its metabolite form in cells. 5 Cells / well) were seeded in a 12-well plate, 100 nM compound III-2 was added to the cells, and compound III-2 and cells were incubated at an oxygen content of 20% or 0.1% O 2The cells were co-incubated under the same conditions for 6 hours, 17 hours or 24 hours. At the set time points, the cells were collected and washed three times with cold PBS. Methanol was added to the sample and placed at -20°C for 2 hours to completely break the cells, followed by centrifugation at 13,000 g for 20 minutes. 50 μL of supernatant was taken from each sample, and after vacuum drying, 100 μL of methanol was added to re-dissolve the sample, and LC-MS / MS was used to analyze the MMAE and Cys-II-2 content in the sample. The results showed that compound III-2 was co-cultured with SKOV3 cells under hypoxia, MMAE was detected in SKOV3 cells, and the amount of MMAE released was time-dependent. This result directly indicates that compound III-2 can be cleaved and release MMAE in tumor cells under hypoxic conditions ( Fig.14 More importantly, when compound III-2 was co-cultured with SKOV3 cells under normoxic conditions, Cys-II-2 was the main metabolite and its release was time-dependent, while the amount of Cys-II-2 in the cells was very low under hypoxic conditions. This result showed that under normoxic conditions, the antibody of compound III-2 was degraded and the released Cys-II-2 would not be further cleaved by azoreductase ( Fig.14 ).
[0692] Example 24: Cytotoxicity study of Cys-II-2
[0693] This example evaluates the toxicity of Cys-II-2 on BT474 and SKBR3 cells. Compound II-2 was reacted with L-cysteine (Cys, 10 equivalents) to prepare a stock solution of Cys-II-2. BT-474 and SKBR3 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and incubated in an incubator for 24 hours. Equally diluted MMAE and Cys-II-2 were added to the cells, and the cells and drugs were incubated at 20% O 2 After 24 hours of incubation, the drug was washed out with culture medium, and SKBR3 was cultured in the incubator for 3 days, and BT474 was cultured for 5 days. Cell viability was detected using the CellTiter-Glo assay kit. The results showed ( Fig.15 ), the cytotoxic activity of Cys-II-2 was reduced by more than ten to hundreds of times compared with MMAE.
[0694] Example 25: Study on the inhibition of tubulin by Cys-II-2
[0695] Tubulin inhibition experiments were performed using a tubulin polymerization assay kit (BK011P, Cytoskeleton, USA). 5 μL of different concentrations of MMAE, Cys-II-2 or DMSO were added to a 96-well plate and incubated at 37°C for 1 min, followed by the addition of 50 μL of the prepared tubulin reaction solution. The fluorescence signal at 420 nM was immediately monitored and recorded on an ELISA reader. The results showed ( Fig.16 ), the tubulin inhibitory activity of Cys-II-2 was lower than that of MMAE and showed concentration dependence.
[0696] Example 26: Cell cycle arrest study of compound III-2
[0697] This example evaluates the cell cycle arrest of SKOV3 cells by compound III-2. 5 Cells / well) were seeded in 12-well plates and incubated for 24 hours. Compound III-2 at different concentrations (0.3, 1 and 3 nM) was added to the cells. 2 After 1 day of incubation, cells were transferred to 20% O 2 The normoxic group was kept in 20% O 2 The cells were cultured for 2 days. All cells in each well were collected into a 1.5 mL EP tube and fixed with 70% cold ethanol. Before sending the samples, they were washed once with cold PBS, stained with propidium iodide solution at 37°C for 30 minutes in the dark, and then analyzed using FACSCalibur. The cycle arrest results showed ( Fig.17 ), compound III-2 caused G2 / M phase arrest of tumor cells with hypoxia selectivity. Under normoxic conditions, after treatment with compound III-2 at concentrations of 0.3nM, 1nM and 3nM, the proportion of cells in the G2 / M phase was similar to that of the untreated group (17.50%). On the contrary, under hypoxia, after treatment with the same concentration of compound III-2, the proportion of cells in the G2 / M phase was maintained at 71.12%-87.22%.
[0698] Example 27: Study on the apoptosis induced by compound III-2
[0699] This example evaluates the effect of III-2 on apoptosis of SKOV3 cells. 5 Cells / well) were seeded in 12-well plates and incubated for 24 hours. Compound III-2 at different concentrations (0.3, 1 and 3 nM) was added to the cells. 2 After 1 day of incubation, cells were transferred to 20% O 2The normoxic group was cultured in 20% O 2 All cells in each well were collected into a 1.5 mL EP tube and washed once with cold PBS. The samples were stained with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide solution at room temperature for 20 minutes in the dark and then analyzed using FACSCalibur. The results showed ( Fig.18 ), under normoxic conditions (20% O 2 ) had little effect on cell apoptosis. In contrast, under hypoxic conditions (0.1% O 2 ) Compound III-2 induced apoptosis in more than half of the cells. The apoptosis results showed that compound III-2 had good hypoxia selectivity.
[0700] Example 28: Distribution of Compound III-2 Labeled with DyLight-680 Dye in Mice
[0701] This example evaluates the distribution of compound III-2 in mice.
[0702] DyLight 680-Herceptin and DyLight 680-III-2 were prepared using DyLight 680 NHS ester dye (purchased from ThermoFisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Specifically, NaHCO 3 Herceptin or compound III-2 in a buffer solution (pH=8.3) was stirred and reacted with a fluorescent dye (DyLight 680NHSester) for 3 hours to label the dye on the antibody, and then the obtained DyLight 680-Herceptin and DyLight 680-III-2 were replaced in a PBS buffer solution for use.
[0703] SKOV3 ovarian cancer-bearing mice (purchased from Yikang (Beijing) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.) were injected with 0.2 mL PBS, DyLight 680-Herceptin and DyLight 680-III-2 by tail vein injection, and then the mice were imaged at time points (6h, 24h, 30h, 48h, 72h, 120h, 216h, 360h) using the Maestro in vivo fluorescence imaging system. The results showed ( Fig.19), DyLight 680-Herceptin (25 mg / kg) and DyLight 680-III-2 (25 mg / kg) labeled with DyLight 680 were injected into mice by tail vein injection. A strong fluorescence signal could be clearly observed in the tumor site 6 hours after administration, and the fluorescence of the tumor site was clearly maintained for about 9 days. The fluorescence signal finally disappeared on the 15th day after administration. From the fluorescence signal intensity change curve, it was found that the DyLight680-III-2 curve was almost consistent with the change curve of DyLight 680-Herceptin. This result shows that compound III-2 has similar metabolic properties to Herceptin. In addition, the fluorescence intensity of the tumor site is significantly higher than that of other normal tissues ( Fig.19 ). The above imaging results show that compound III-2 has excellent tumor targeting and a long half-life in vivo.
[0704] Example 29: Drug distribution and metabolism studies of compound III-2
[0705] This example evaluates the drug distribution and metabolism of compound III-2. SKOV3 ovarian cancer-bearing mice were divided into 6 groups. After a single dose of compound III-2 (25 mg / kg) was injected into the tail vein, the mice were euthanized at 6h, 24h, 72h, 96h, 168h, and 192h, and blood, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and tumor samples were collected. Blood and tissue samples were stored at -80°C for further analysis. The results showed ( Fig. 20 , Table 5), high concentrations of prodrug Cys-II-2 were detected in the blood and peripheral tissues 6 hours after administration of compound III-2. In addition, the results showed that Cys-II-2 can be quickly cleared in normal tissues, and the half-life of Cys-II-2 in the blood is only 26 hours, which will further reduce its toxicity and side effects. After 96 hours of administration, Cys-II-2 was almost undetectable in the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs. The peak concentration and drug-time curve area of the toxin MMAE in the tumor are 293 times and 941 times that of the peripheral blood, respectively, which further confirms that compound III-2 has excellent targeting. The drug-time curve area of MMAE in the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs accounted for 11%, 47%, 5%, and 7% of the tumor drug-time curve area, respectively. The results show that Cys-II-2 in peripheral tissues, except the liver, cannot be metabolized into MMAE, while Cys-II-2 in tumors can effectively release MMAE (Table 6).

[0712] Example 30: Pharmacodynamic study of compound III-2 in NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mice
[0713] This example evaluates the antitumor effect of compound III-2 on NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mice (purchased from Hangzhou Tsinghua Kerui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). 3 At the time of the study, NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: PBS group, Herceptin group, III-2 group and VC-ADC group. The drugs were injected into the tail vein once a week for a total of 4 times. The tumor size was measured with a caliper twice a week, and the tumor volume was calculated as 1 / 2×length×width×width (mm). When the tumor volume of any mouse exceeded 2000mm 3 The mice were euthanized. Fig.21 ), in the NCI-N87 tumor xenograft model, compared with the control group, the compound III-2 group at a dose of 5 mg / kg can significantly inhibit tumor growth, with a tumor inhibition rate of 90.97%. This result shows that compound III-2 can achieve almost the same anti-tumor effect as traditional VC-ADC. More importantly, all mouse tumors in the 10 mg / kg dose group completely regressed, indicating that compound III-2 has excellent anti-tumor therapeutic potential.
[0714] Example 31: Pharmacodynamic study of compound III-2 in JIMT-1 tumor-bearing mice
[0715] This example evaluates the antitumor effect of compound III-2 on JIMT-1 tumor-bearing mice (purchased from Hangzhou Tsinghua Kerui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). To evaluate the antitumor effect of compound III-2 in JIMT-1 tumor-bearing mice with low HER2 antigen expression, when the tumor volume grows to 150 mm 3 The mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: PBS group and III-2 group. The drug was injected into the tail vein once a week for a total of 4 times. The tumor size was measured with a caliper twice a week. The results showed that ( Fig. 22 ), in the JIMT-1 xenograft model, at a dose of 12 mg / kg, compound III-2 still showed an anti-tumor effect. Although the tumor did not completely disappear, the inhibition rate reached 62.36%.
[0716] Example 32: Pharmacodynamic study of compound III-2 in combination with Herceptin, bevacizumab, sunitinib or docetaxel in NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mice
[0717] This example evaluates the antitumor efficacy of compound III-2 in combination with Herceptin, bevacizumab, sunitinib or docetaxel on NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mice. The mice were randomly divided into 7 groups (PBS group, III-2 administration group (3 mg / kg), sunitinib administration group (54 mg / kg), III-2 (3 mg / kg) and Herceptin (12 mg / kg) combination group, III-2 (3 mg / kg) and bevacizumab (5 mg / kg) combination group, III-2 (3 mg / kg) and sunitinib (54 mg / kg) combination group, III-2 (3 mg / kg) and docetaxel (8 mg / kg) combination group). When the tumor volume grows to ~100 mm 3 PBS, Herceptin, III-2 and docetaxel were administered once a week by tail vein injection for a total of 3 times. Docetaxel was administered 6 hours in advance. Sunitinib was administered by gavage once a day for 3 consecutive weeks. The results showed that ( Fig.23 ), the III-2 combined with sunitinib group showed a stronger anti-tumor effect (p<0.01), which was better than III-2 and other combination groups. In the combined administration group, only 3mg / kg III-2 can almost achieve the effect of complete tumor regression, with a tumor inhibition rate of 98.93%. The above results show that the excellent tumor inhibition effect of combined administration may come from the fact that the angiogenesis inhibitor sunitinib can expand the range of tumor tissue hypoxia and strengthen the degree of tumor tissue hypoxia, thereby further improving the efficacy of III-2.
[0718] Example 33: Study on the maximum tolerated dose of compound III-2
[0719] This example evaluates the tolerance and adverse reactions of healthy female CD-1 mice (purchased from Hangzhou Tsinghua Core Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) to compound III-2. Female CD-1 mice aged 7-9 weeks were adapted to the environment for at least 3 days before administration, and each dose group consisted of 3 mice. Healthy female CD-1 mice were administered 120, 160, 200, and 240 mg / kg of compound III-2 by a single tail vein injection. At the same time, the marketed drug T-DM1 and the traditional ADC drug VC-ADC were used for control studies. After administration by tail vein injection, the weight changes and behavior of the mice were monitored every day. The results show ( Fig.24), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of compound III-2 was >200 mg / kg, while the mice in the VC-ADC group and the T-DM1 group experienced continuous weight loss (>20%) and exhibited severe adverse reactions since the start of administration. For example, all the mice in the VC-ADC group died after being administered 120 mg / kg.
[0720] Example 34: Hematological and histopathological studies of compound III-2 in BALB / C mice
[0721] This example evaluates the hematology and histopathology of compound III-2 on BALB / C mice (purchased from Hangzhou Tsinghua Kerui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). Female BALB / C mice (n=3 / group) were administered with III-2 (60 mg / kg), VC-ADC (60 mg / kg) and PBS by tail vein injection. After administration, the weight of the mice was monitored every 3 days, and the mice were euthanized on the 7th day for whole blood hematology and histopathology analysis. The results showed ( Fig.25 ), there were no significant differences in blood markers of biochemistry, blood routine and histopathology between the III-2 administration group and the control group, while in the VC-ADC treatment group, the changes in blood biochemistry reflected the side effects of VC-ADC on the liver, such as increases in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and creatine kinase (CK). The side effects of VC-ADC were also reflected in hematological changes, including increases in lymphocyte counts (LYMPH), monocyte counts (MONO), and neutrophil counts (NEUT).
[0722] Example 35: Antibacterial study of compound III-16 against Staphylococcus aureus
[0723] This example evaluates the antibacterial effect of compound III-16 on Staphylococcus aureus in macrophages. 37.5 μg / mL of compound III-16 and 150 μg / mL of antibacterial antibody (whose heavy chain and light chain sequences are shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 and 4, respectively) were added to the well plate and incubated with macrophages infected with Staphylococcus aureus for 24 hours, and then the colonies were counted and photographed. The results show ( Fig.26 ), compound III-16 has excellent anti-Staphylococcus aureus effect.
[0724] The above experimental results show that the ADC provided by the present invention (such as the ADC shown in III-2) can be quickly recognized and cleaved by azoreductase and efficiently release MMAE, and it exhibits anti-tumor effects in both in vivo and in vitro activity evaluations. In addition, the ADC provided by the present invention (such as the ADC shown in III-16) exhibits excellent antibacterial effects.
