AI Technical Summary
Existing aurstatin antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) have problems with insufficient safety and effectiveness, especially high cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity and hematotoxicity, and the hydrophobicity of linker leads to ADC precipitation and aggregation, limiting the improvement of DAR.
By forming an aminomethylene structural link with the enzyme-cleaved peptide unit at the hydroxyl site of the aurestatin drug, a more stable linker-payload was developed, which increased the DAR value to 8, enhanced plasma stability and water solubility, and specifically released toxins in tumor cells.
It achieves the same tumor suppression effect at low doses, reduces neurotoxicity and hematotoxicity, and improves the safety and effectiveness of the drug.

The contents of the above CN applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical field
[0003] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technologies, and particularly to ligand-drug conjugates, linker-drug compounds, their preparation methods and uses. Background art
[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), as a new type of targeted therapeutic drug, combine the advantages of high selectivity of antibodies and high activity of cytotoxic drugs, and have the advantage of "high efficiency and low toxicity", and have become a research hotspot in tumor targeted therapy. In recent years, ADCs have developed rapidly and have reached the third generation. Currently, 14 ADC drugs have been approved for marketing, namely Mylotarg, Adcetris, Kadcyla, Besponsa, Lumoxiti, Polivy, Enhertu, Padcev, Trodelvy, Blenrep, Zynlonta, Aidixi, Tivdak and Elahere, and more than 200 ADCs are in clinical trials. ADCs are playing an increasingly important role in the field of tumor targeted therapy.
[0005] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consist of three parts: an antibody (mAb) with high specificity and affinity, a linker with high stability, and a highly efficient small molecule cytotoxic drug (payload / warhead). The antibody part of ADCs is most commonly IgG1, and its warhead part is generally a cytotoxic drug that acts on microtubules, DNA or RNA, such as maytansinoids, auristatins, calicheamicin, camptothecins, pyrrolobenzodiazepines and phallotoxins, etc. Its linkers are mainly divided into two categories, one is a cleavable linker, and the other is a non-cleavable linker.
[0006] Auristatins are a class of tubulin inhibitors that can block the binding of tubulin to GTP and the binding of microtubules to the vinca alkaloid binding site, thereby inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor growth. Currently, MMAE (US6884869) and MMAF (US7498298) are the most commonly used ADC warheads, both of which are pentapeptides modified based on dolastatin 10. Both MMAE and MMAF exhibit good anti-tumor activity, but due to factors such as lack of selectivity and low therapeutic index, they cannot be used clinically as monotherapy. However, the high cytotoxicity of MMAE and MMAF makes them ideal warheads for ADCs. MMAE / MMAF has been widely used in the field of ADCs. Currently, 5 ADC drugs with MMAE as the warhead and 1 ADC drug with MMAF as the warhead have been launched, namely Adcetris, Polivy, Padcev, Aidixi, Tivdak and Blenrep. However, these ADCs based on auristatins have some deficiencies. For example, ADCs with MMAE as the toxin have adverse reactions such as neurotoxicity (peripheral neuropathy) and hematotoxicity (thrombocytopenia and neutropenia), and ADCs with MMAF as the toxin have ocular toxicity, etc., and their safety needs to be improved. In addition, most of the linkers used in these ADCs are VClinkers, and the maximum DAR is 4. This is because VClinker has strong hydrophobicity. However, high DAR is likely to cause precipitation and aggregation of ADCs, so the DAR cannot be increased to enhance the drug efficacy.
[0007] Furthermore, currently, for ADCs with MMAE as the warhead, most of them introduce the linker from the secondary amine at the N-terminus of MMAE, and there are few examples of introducing the linker from the hydroxyl group of MMAE. Only Seagen, Technical University of Denmark, Mersana and Shanghai New Ideas Company have reported it.
[0008] In its patent application US2005009751A1, Seagen esterified the hydroxyl group of the MMAE analogue Auristatin E and then introduced a linker with a hydrazone bond. This type of linker with an ester bond and a hydrazone bond is unstable in human plasma and undergoes a certain degree of hydrolysis, resulting in some off-target toxicity (see Nat Biotechnol. 2003 Jul; 21(7): 778-84). In its patent CN105813653, Seagen introduced a self-eliminating group, methylene alkoxy carbamate (MAC), into the hydroxyl group of MMAE and then introduced a β-glucuronide linker. Although the ADC with this type of linker has good stability in human plasma, the release of its warhead involves the catalysis of β-glucuronidase and subsequent self-elimination processes, which is relatively complex.
[0009] In its patent application WO2020260597A1, the Technical University of Denmark introduced a linker onto the hydroxyl group of the MMAE analogue in a similar way to Seagen, that is, by esterification followed by the introduction of the linker. However, after the introduction of the linker, its ester bond is difficult to be hydrolyzed by enzymes and it is not easy to release the warhead. In its patent application CN110234357A, Mersana introduced a linker from the hydroxyl group of the MMAE analogue in a similar way to Seagen, introducing an ester bond or a carbonate structure. However, the ester bond is difficult to be hydrolyzed by enzymes, and the carbonate has poor plasma stability, which will reduce the drug efficacy. In its patent application CN106279352A, Shanghai New Concept Company introduced a carbamate onto the hydroxyl group of the MMAE analogue and then introduced a Mc-Vc-PAB linker. This carbamate has poor stability in plasma and has a potential off-target risk.
[0010] Therefore, developing a new way to introduce the linker to obtain auristatin-based ADC drugs with higher safety and effectiveness has very important clinical significance. Summary of the Invention
[0011] One technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to explore and discover a better anti-tumor auristatin-based ADC drug, making it have higher safety and effectiveness and better meeting the clinical needs.
[0012] In the present invention, auristatin or its derivative is linked to the enzyme-cleavable peptide unit through an aminomethylene structure at the hydroxyl site to form the corresponding linker-payload, which can increase the DAR value of the ADC to 8, have better hydrophilicity at high drug loading, better plasma stability at high drug loading values, and have more advantages in terms of efficacy.

[0155] Term Definitions
[0156] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can also be used to implement or test the present invention, the preferred methods and materials are described herein. When describing and claiming the present invention, the following terms are used according to the following definitions.
[0157] When a trade name is used in the present invention, the applicant intends to include the formulation of the product under that trade name, the generic drug of that trade name, and the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
[0158] Unless otherwise stated, the terms used in the specification and claims have the following meanings.
[0159] The term "ligand" is a targeting agent that specifically binds to a target moiety. The ligand is capable of specifically binding to a cellular component or to other target molecules of interest. The target moiety or target is typically on the cell surface. In some aspects, the role of the ligand is to deliver a drug moiety to a specific population of target cells with which the ligand moiety interacts. Ligands include, but are not limited to, proteins, polypeptides and peptides, and non-proteins such as sugars. Suitable ligand moieties include, for example, antibodies, such as full-length (intact) antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof. In embodiments where the ligand moiety is a non-antibody targeting reagent, it can be a peptide or polypeptide, or a non-protein molecule. Examples of such targeting reagents include interferons, lymphokines, hormones, growth factors and colony-stimulating factors, vitamins, nutrient transport molecules, or any other cell-binding molecule or substance. In some embodiments, the linker is covalently linked to a sulfur atom of the ligand. In some aspects, the sulfur atom is the sulfur atom of a cysteine residue that forms an interchain disulfide bond of the antibody. In another aspect, the sulfur atom is the sulfur atom of a cysteine residue that has been introduced into the ligand moiety and forms an interchain disulfide bond of the antibody. In another aspect, the sulfur atom is the sulfur atom of a cysteine residue introduced into the ligand moiety by, for example, site-directed mutagenesis or chemical reaction.
[0160] The term "drug" refers to a cytotoxic drug, i.e., a molecule that has a strong ability to disrupt the normal growth of tumor or cancer cells within the cells. In principle, cytotoxic drugs can kill tumor cells at a sufficiently high concentration. However, due to the lack of specificity, while killing tumor or cancer cells, they can also cause apoptosis of normal cells, easily leading to serious side effects.
[0161] The term "ligand-drug conjugate" refers to a molecule formed by linking a ligand to a drug through a stable linker unit. In the present invention, the "ligand-drug conjugate" is preferably an antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which refers to conjugating a monoclonal antibody, a functional antibody fragment, a targeting protein, etc. to a cytotoxic drug through a stable linker unit.
[0162] As used herein, "antibody" or "antibody unit" within its scope includes any part of the antibody structure. This unit can bind, reactively associate, or complex with a receptor, an antigen, or other receptor units possessed by a target cell population. An antibody can be any protein or protein-like molecule that can bind, complex, or react with a part of the cell population to be treated or biotransformed. The antibody constituting the antibody drug conjugate in the present invention retains its antigen-binding ability in its original wild state. Therefore, the antibody in the present invention can specifically bind to an antigen. The antigens involved include, for example, tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), cell surface receptor proteins and other cell surface molecules, cell survival regulators, cell proliferation regulators, molecules related to tissue growth and differentiation (such as those known or predicted to be functional), lymphokines, cytokines, molecules involved in cell cycle regulation, molecules involved in angiogenesis, and molecules related to angiogenesis (such as those known or predicted to be functional). Tumor-associated factors can be cluster of differentiation factors (such as CD proteins).
[0163] Antibodies used in antibody-drug conjugates include, but are not limited to, antibodies against cell surface receptors and tumor-associated antigens. Such tumor-associated antigens are well known in the art and can be prepared by methods and information well known in the art for preparing antibodies. To develop effective cell-level targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment, researchers have sought transmembrane or other tumor-associated polypeptides. These targets are specifically expressed on the surface of one or more cancer cells and are expressed little or not at all on the surface of one or more non-cancer cells. Generally, such tumor-associated polypeptides are more overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells relative to the surface of non-cancer cells. Identifying such tumor-associated factors can greatly improve the specific targeting characteristics of antibody-based cancer treatment. For convenience, antigen-related information well known in the art is labeled below, including the name, other names, and GenBank accession number. The nucleic acid and protein sequences corresponding to the tumor-associated antigens can be found in public databases such as GenBank. Antibodies targeting the corresponding tumor-associated antigens include all amino acid sequence variants and isotypes that have at least 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% homology with the sequences identified in the references, or have the exact same biological properties and characteristics as the tumor-associated antigen sequences cited in the references.
[0164] The antibodies of the present invention include, but are not limited to, murine antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and fully human antibodies, preferably humanized antibodies and fully human antibodies.
[0165] The term "inhibit" or "inhibition of" means a reduction in the detectable amount or complete prevention.
[0166] The term "cancer" refers to a physiological disorder or disease characterized by dysregulated cell growth. "Tumor" includes cancer cells.
[0167] The term "linker" or "linking fragment" or "linking unit" refers to a chemical structural fragment or bond that is connected to a ligand at one end and a drug at the other end, or can be connected to other linkers and then to the drug.
[0168] Linkers, including spacers, spacers, and amino acid units, can be synthesized by methods known in the art, such as those described in US2005-0238649A1. The linker can be a "cleavable linker" that facilitates the release of the drug in the cell. For example, acid-labile linkers (such as hydrazones), protease-sensitive (such as peptidase-sensitive) linkers, photo-labile linkers, dimethyl linkers, or disulfide-containing linkers (Chari et al. Cancer Research 52:127-131, 1992); US Patent No. 5,208,020 can be used.
[0169] According to the mechanism of intracellular drug release, as used herein, a "linker" or "linker of an antibody-drug conjugate" can be classified into two categories: non-cleavable linkers and cleavable linkers. For antibody-drug conjugates containing non-cleavable linkers, the drug release mechanism is as follows: after the conjugate binds to the antigen and is endocytosed into the cell, the antibody is enzymatically degraded in the lysosome, releasing an active molecule composed of a small molecule drug, a linker, and an antibody amino acid residue. The resulting change in the drug molecular structure does not weaken its cytotoxicity, but since the active molecule is charged (amino acid residue), it cannot penetrate adjacent cells. Therefore, such active drugs cannot kill tumor cells (bystander effect) that do not express the target antigen (antigen-negative cells) adjacent to them (Ducry et al., 2010, Bioconjugate Chem. 21:5-13). For antibody-drug conjugates containing cleavable linkers, the drug release mechanism is as follows: after the conjugate binds to the antigen and is endocytosed into the cell, it breaks in the target cell and releases the active ingredient (the small molecule drug itself). Cleavable linkers are mainly divided into: chemically sensitive linkers and enzyme-sensitive linkers. Chemically sensitive linkers can be selectively cleaved due to differences in the properties of plasma and cytoplasm or the tumor microenvironment. Such properties include pH value, glutathione concentration, etc. pH-sensitive linkers are relatively stable in the neutral or weakly alkaline environment of the blood (pH 7.3-7.5), but will be hydrolyzed in the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 5.0-6.5) and lysosome (pH 4.5-5.0), such as hydrazone, carbonate, acetal, ketal, etc. Due to the limited plasma stability of acid-cleavable linkers, antibody-drug conjugates based on such linkers usually have a short half-life (2-3 days). This short half-life limits to some extent the application of pH-sensitive linkers in the new generation of antibody-drug conjugates. For glutathione-sensitive linkers, also known as disulfide bond linkers. Drug release is caused by the difference in the high concentration of glutathione in the cell (in the millimolar range) and the relatively low concentration of glutathione in the blood (in the micromolar range). This is especially true for tumor cells, whose low oxygen content leads to enhanced activity of reductase, thus resulting in a higher glutathione concentration. Disulfide bonds have thermodynamic stability, so they have good stability in plasma. Enzyme-labile linkers, such as peptide linkers, can better control drug release. Peptide linkers can be effectively cleaved by proteases in the lysosome, such as cathepsin B. This peptide linker is considered to be very stable in plasma circulation because the inappropriate extracellular pH value and serum protease inhibitors cause proteases to usually be inactive outside the cell. Given the high plasma stability and good intracellular cleavage selectivity and effectiveness, enzyme-labile linkers are widely used as cleavable linkers for antibody-drug conjugates.
[0170] The term "antibody-drug conjugate" refers to an antibody linked to a bioactive drug via a stable linker unit. In the present invention, the "ligand-drug conjugate" is preferably an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), which refers to a monoclonal antibody or antibody fragment linked to a bioactive cytotoxic drug via a stable linker unit.

[0846] Example 168 Detection of the DAR of ADC by Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC)
[0847] As determined by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography using General Procedure B, the average drug / antibody ratio DAR of the corresponding ADCs is shown in Table 1 below. RC-48 was purchased from Rongchang Biologics (batch number: RC48-X1-202302003, the RP-HPLC test results are shown in Figure 3I , and the SEC-HPLC test results are shown in Figure 4C ). For ADC-C-1a and ADC-Dxd, DAR = n, and for the remaining ADCs other than these, DAR = n1 + n2 + n3. As can be seen from Table 1, the ADCs disclosed in the present invention have the excellent property of a high DAR value, and can significantly increase the drug concentration at the target site at the administration dose of the ADC drug at the same dose.
[0848] Table 1 DAR test results of ADCs
[0849]
[0850] Example 169 SEC detection of the monomer ratio of ADC
[0851] The aggregation degree of each ADC can be obtained by General Procedure C, and the SEC-HPLC results are shown in Figure 4A 、 Figure 4B 、 Figure 4C 、 Figure 4D 、 Figure 4E 、 Figure 4F 、 Figure 4G, the data are summarized in Table 2 below. As can be seen from Table 2, for RC-48 using the classical MC linker VcMMAE, its DAR is 4.19, the monomer ratio is greater than 99%, and the degree of aggregation and degradation is low. While for ADC-C-1a using VcMMAE as the linker-payload, its DAR is 7.63, the monomer ratio is 17.59%, and the degree of aggregation is high, indicating that ADCs using the classical MC linker VcMMAE are prone to aggregation when made into high DAR. In addition, as can be seen from the table, ADCs produced by coupling different HER2 antibodies with LP-1a have different degrees of aggregation. The ADC-1-1a obtained by coupling TA001 with LP-1a has the highest monomer ratio, indicating that TA001 is most suitable as the antibody for ADCs, and its properties are more stable than other antibodies. Using it as the antibody can result in low degrees of aggregation and degradation of the obtained ADCs.
[0852] On the other hand, for ADC-1-1b with an acid-stable linker introduced on the hydroxyl group of the toxin, its DAR is 7.48. Compared with RC-48, its DAR is nearly doubled, but the monomer ratio is similar to that of RC-48, and the degrees of aggregation and degradation are low. Compared with ADC-C-1a, ADC-1-1a has a similar DAR, and the monomer ratio is much greater than that of ADC-C-1a. This shows that high-DAR ADCs prepared by introducing an acid-stable linker on the hydroxyl group of the toxin have the characteristics of low degradation rate and low aggregation rate, and excellent properties of high monomer ratio.

[0854]
[0855] Example 170 ADC in vitro plasma stability
[0856] The plasma stability study of ADCs was carried out according to General Procedure D, and the results are shown in Table 3 below. The experimental results show that for ADCs with an acid-stable linker introduced on the hydroxyl group of the toxin, less drug loss occurred during plasma incubation. And ADC-1-1a with TA001 as the antibody is the most stable, while for the classical MC linker ADC (ADC-C-1a), the DAR decreased very significantly after 7 days of incubation. The experimental results prove that the ADC drugs disclosed in the present invention with an acid-stable linker introduced on the hydroxyl group of the toxin have good plasma stability, and no large changes in DAR values occurred.
[0857] Table 3 Test results of ADC in vitro plasma stability
[0858]
[0859] Note: Incubation for 0 days means the DAR value measured after starting the purification and extraction steps immediately after adding the ADC to the plasma; incubation for 3 days means the DAR value measured after starting the purification and extraction steps after placing the ADC in the plasma at 37°C for 3 days; incubation for 7 days means the DAR value measured after starting the purification and extraction steps after placing the ADC in the plasma at 37°C for 7 days.
[0860] Example 171 Antitumor Cell Activity Test of ADC 1
[0861] In this example, human tumor cell lines of different cancer types and a mixed tumor cell line (JIMT-1 + MDA-MB-468) were used as experimental models (the cell lines are shown in Table 4) to evaluate the in vitro tumor cell killing activity of antibody-drug conjugates. A certain number of tumor cells were inoculated into 96-well plates, and gradient-diluted test antibodies or ADC drugs were added to the cells. After treatment for 5 days, the Luminescent Cell Viability Assay was used to detect cell viability, and the killing effects of the test antibodies and ADC drugs on the tumor cell lines were evaluated by calculating the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50).
[0862] The starting dose of the antibody drug or ADC drug was 100 nM, and the dilution factor was 10-fold, with a total of 8 detection concentration points. After treatment for 5 days, the cell survival rate = (experimental group - blank) / (control group - blank group) × 100%.

[0865] The in vitro mixed tumor cell model of JIMT-1 + MDA-MB-468 (1:2.5) was constructed according to the following protocol:
[0866] Take the test cells in the logarithmic growth phase, discard the culture medium and rinse the cells with sterile 1×PBS. Add an appropriate amount of 0.25% Trpsin-EDTA to digest the cells according to the size of the culture flask. After the cells are digested, resuspended and counted, first inoculate the breast cancer cell line JIMT-1 with medium HER2 expression at a density of 2000 cells / well into 96-well plates, and then inoculate the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 with negative HER2 at a density of 5000 cells / well into 96-well plates. The inoculation quantity ratio of the two types of cells per well is 1:2.5. Finally, add 300 μL of sterile 1×PBS or sterile ddH2O to the 96-well plates without adding cell suspension at the edges for sealing, and place them in a CO2 incubator for overnight culture for later use.
[0867] The corresponding in vitro data are shown in Table 5, and Figure 5A 、 Figure 5B 、 Figure 5C 、Figure 5D , Figure 5E , Figure 5F , Figure 5G . As can be seen from Table 5, in the HER2 high-expression, medium-expression, and low-expression cell models, the tumor cell killing activity of ADC-1-1a obtained by conjugating antibody TA-001 with LP-1a was overall superior to that of ADCs obtained by conjugating other Anti-HER2 antibodies with LP-1a. Moreover, in the mixed tumor cell model (JIMT-1 + MDA-MB-468), ADC-1-1a exhibited a more excellent bystander effect and the strongest tumor cell killing activity, indicating that ADC obtained by conjugating TA001 as an antibody with LP-1a has more advantages in vitro anti-tumor activity compared with ADCs obtained by conjugating other Anti-HER2 antibodies with LP-1a.
[0868] In addition, the tumor cell killing activity of ADC-1-1a was superior to that of ADC-Dxd, which indicates that compared with ADCs with Dxd as the toxin, the ADCs disclosed in this application with auristatin as the toxin have advantages in vitro anti-tumor activity.

[0871] In vivo pharmacodynamic evaluation of HER2-ADC in single tumor (JIMT-1) in Example 172
[0872] In this example, a subcutaneous xenograft tumor model of HER2+ human breast cancer cell JIMT-1 in BALB / c-nu mice was established to evaluate the in vivo pharmacodynamics of HER2-ADC. JIMT-1 (5×10 6 / mouse) cell suspension (0.1 mL / mouse) was subcutaneously injected into the right scapular region of 6- to 7-week-old BALB / c-nu mice. When the average tumor volume of the mice grew to 166 mm 3Around [time], they were randomly divided into 13 groups, namely the vehicle control group (Vehicle), the treatment groups of ADC-1-1a (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the treatment groups of ADC-1-1b (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the treatment groups of ADC-1-1c (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the treatment groups of ADC-1-1d (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the treatment groups of ADC-1-1e (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the treatment groups of ADC-Dxd (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), with 6 mice in each group, and drug administration was started (D0). Each treatment group was administered by tail vein injection at 10 mL / kg body weight. Each 7 days was a dosing cycle (QW), and continuous dosing was carried out for 4 cycles. All groups were observed for 28 days (D28) after grouped drug administration to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the test ADC drug on tumor growth.
[0873] After the dosing cycle ended, statistical analysis was performed on the average tumor volume in each treatment group over 28 days. The results are shown in Table 6 and Figure 6 As shown, in the JIMT-1 xenograft tumors with HER2 positive expression, in the treatment groups of ADC-1-1a at 0.25 mg / kg and 5 mg / kg, compared with the ADC treatment groups obtained by conjugating other Anti-HER2 antibodies with LP-1a at the same dose, the average tumor volume decreased. The in vivo antitumor effect of ADC-1-1a was better than that of other HER2-ADCs. This indicates that as an ADC obtained by conjugating an antibody with LP-1a, TA001 has an advantage in the treatment of xenograft tumors compared with the ADCs obtained by conjugating other HER2-targeted antibodies with LP-1a.
[0874] In addition, the antitumor effect of ADC-1-1a was also stronger than that of ADC-Dxd. This indicates that the ADC disclosed in this application, which uses auristatin as the toxin, has an advantage in the treatment of xenograft tumors compared with the ADC using Dxd as the toxin.

[0877] Example 173 In vivo pharmacodynamic evaluation of HER2-ADC in mixed tumors (JIMT-1 + MDA-MB-468)
[0878] In this example, a subcutaneous mixed xenograft tumor model of HER2+ human breast cancer cell JIMT-1 and HER2- human breast cancer cell MDA-MB-468 in BALB / c-nu mice was established to evaluate the in vivo pharmacodynamics of HER2-ADC. Using JIMT-1 (1×10 6 ) and MDA-MB-468 (2.5×106 ) The cell mixture (0.1 mL / rat) was subcutaneously injected into the right scapular region of BALB / c-nu mice at 6 - 7 weeks of age. When the average tumor volume of the mice grew to about 172 mm 3 , they were randomly divided into 13 groups, namely the vehicle control group (Vehicle), the ADC-1-1a treatment groups (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the ADC-1-1b treatment groups (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the ADC-1-1c treatment groups (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the ADC-1-1d treatment groups (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the ADC-1-1e treatment groups (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), the ADC-Dxd treatment groups (0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg), with 6 mice in each group, and drug administration was started (D0). Each treatment group was administered by tail vein injection at 10 mL / kg body weight. Each 7-day period was a dosing cycle (QW), and continuous dosing was carried out for 4 cycles. All groups were observed for 28 days (D28) after grouped dosing to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the test ADC drugs on tumor growth.
[0879] After the dosing cycle ended, the average tumor volume in each treatment group over 28 days was statistically analyzed. The results are shown in Table 7 and Figure 7 as follows. In the mixed tumors of JIMT-1 with positive HER2 expression and MDA-MB-468 without HER2 expression, the tumor inhibitory effects of the ADC-1-1a treatment groups at 0.25 mg / kg and 5 mg / kg were better than those of the ADC treatment groups obtained by conjugating other Anti-HER2 antibodies with LP-1a at the same dose. This indicates that TA001, as an ADC obtained by conjugating an antibody with LP-1a, has an advantage in treating mixed tumors compared to other ADCs targeting the HER2 target.
[0880] In addition, the tumor inhibitory effect of ADC-1-1a was also stronger than that of ADC-Dxd, which indicates that the ADC disclosed in this application, using auristatin as the toxin, has an advantage in treating mixed tumors compared to the ADC using Dxd as the toxin.

A certain number of tumor cells were inoculated into 96-well plates, and gradient-diluted test antibodies or ADC drugs were added to the cells and treated for 5 days. The Luminescent Cell Viability Assay was used to detect cell viability, and the killing effects of the test antibodies and ADC drugs on the tumor cell lines were evaluated by calculating the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50).
[0886] The starting dose of the antibody drug or ADC drug was 100 nM, the dilution factor was 10-fold, and there were a total of 8 detection concentration points, and the treatment was for 5 days. Cell survival rate = (experimental group - blank) / (control group - blank group) × 100%.

[0889] The in vitro mixed tumor cell model of JIMT-1+MDA-MB-468 (1:1) was constructed according to the following protocol:
[0890] Take the test cells in the logarithmic growth phase, discard the culture medium and rinse the cells with sterile 1×PBS. Add an appropriate amount of 0.25% Trpsin-EDTA to digest the cells according to the size of the culture flask. After the cells are digested, resuspended and counted, first inoculate the breast cancer cell line JIMT-1 with medium HER2 expression at a density of 3500 cells / well into 96-well plates, and then inoculate the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 with negative HER2 expression at a density of 3500 cells / well into 96-well plates. The inoculation quantity ratio of the two kinds of cells per well is 1:1. Finally, add 300 μL of sterile 1×PBS or sterile ddH2O to the 96-well plates where the cell suspension was not added to the edge for sealing, and place them in a CO2 incubator for overnight culture for standby.
[0891] The corresponding in vitro data are shown in Table 9, and Figure 8A 、 Figure 8B 、 Figure 8C 、 Figure 8D 、 Figure 8E 、 Figure 8F 、 Figure 8G 、 Figure 8HThe results showed that in HER2 highly expressed and moderately expressed cell models, the tumor cell killing activity of ADC-1-1a was stronger than that of FITC-IgG1-LP-1a. The killing effect of FITC-IgG1-LP-1a was poor and it had no targeting ability, indicating that the killing of tumor cells by ADC was due to antibody-mediated ADC. In HER2 highly expressed, moderately expressed and lowly expressed cell models, the tumor cell killing activity of ADC-1-1a was stronger than that of the marketed drug RC-48. In addition, in the mixed tumor cell model (JIMT-1+MDA-MB-468), compared with RC-48, ADC-1-1a showed a stronger bystander effect and stronger killing activity.

[0894] Example 175 In vivo pharmacodynamic evaluation of ADC-1-1a in a single tumor (JIMT-1)
[0895] In this example, a human tumor cell line (JIMT-1) was subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c-Nude as an experimental model to evaluate the in vivo pharmacodynamics of ADC-1-1a. A certain number of tumor cell suspensions were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB / c-Nude. When the tumor volume grew to about 170 mm 3 or so, vehicle, naked antibody control (TA001), irrelevant antibody ADC control (FITC-IgG1-LP-1a), payload control (Auristatin E), positive control (RC-48) and the corresponding ADC drug (ADC-1-1a) were injected via the tail vein once a week for four times. Continuous observation was carried out, and the tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured twice a week to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the tested ADC drug on tumor growth. The results are shown in Table 10, Table 11 and Figure 9 as follows. In the HER2-positive JIMT-1 single tumor, 1 mg / kg of ADC-1-1a showed stronger tumor inhibitory effects compared with 1 mg / kg of naked antibody control (TA001), 1 mg / kg of irrelevant antibody ADC control (FITC-IgG1-LP-1a), and 0.039 mg / kg of payload control (Auristatin E); at equimolar doses of payload, 0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg and 1 mg / kg of ADC-1-1a showed stronger tumor inhibitory effects compared with 0.5 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg and 2 mg / kg of positive control (RC-48); the mice had good tolerance to ADC-1-1a. This indicates that ADC-1-1a has significant in vivo anti-tumor activity and safety.

[0901] In Vivo Pharmacodynamic Evaluation of ADC-1-1a in Hybridoma (JIMT-1 + MDA-MB-468) in Example 176
[0902] In this example, a human tumor cell line (JIMT-1 + MDA-MB-468) was subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c-Nude as an experimental model to evaluate the in vivo pharmacodynamics of ADC-1-1a. A certain number of tumor cell suspension was inoculated subcutaneously into BALB / c-Nude. When the tumor volume grew to about 160 mm 3 or so, vehicle, naked antibody control (TA001), irrelevant antibody ADC control (FITC-IgG1-LP-1a), payload control (Auristatin E), positive control (RC-48) and the corresponding ADC drug (ADC-1-1a) were injected via the tail vein once a week for four times. Continuous observation was carried out, and the tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured twice a week to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the tested ADC drug on tumor growth. The results are shown in Table 12, Table 13 and Figure 10 as follows. In the hybridoma of HER2-positive-expressing JIMT-1 and HER2-non-expressing MDA-MB-468, ADC-1-1a at 1 mg / kg showed stronger antitumor effects compared with naked antibody control (TA001) at 1 mg / kg, irrelevant antibody ADC control (FITC-IgG1-LP-1a) at 1 mg / kg, and payload control (Auristatin E) at 0.039 mg / kg; at equimolar doses of payload, ADC-1-1a at 0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg and 1 mg / kg showed stronger antitumor effects compared with positive control (RC-48) at 0.5 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg and 2 mg / kg; the mice tolerated ADC-1-1a well. This indicates that ADC-1-1a has significant in vivo antitumor activity and safety.

A certain number of tumor cell suspensions were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB / c-Nude. When the tumor volume grew to about 180 mm 3 or so, vehicle, naked antibody control (TA001), irrelevant antibody ADC control (FITC-IgG1-LP-1a), payload control (Auristatin E), positive control (RC-48) and the corresponding ADC drug (ADC-1-1a) were injected via the tail vein once a week for four times. Continuous observation was carried out, and the tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured twice a week to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the tested ADC drug on tumor growth. The results are shown in Table 14, Table 15 and Figure 11 as shown. In the NCI-N87 xenograft tumors with positive HER2 expression, 1 mg / kg of ADC-1-1a showed stronger tumor inhibitory effects compared with 1 mg / kg of naked antibody control (TA001), 1 mg / kg of irrelevant antibody ADC control (FITC-IgG1-LP-1a), and 0.039 mg / kg of payload control (Auristatin E); at equimolar doses of payload, 0.25 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg and 1 mg / kg of ADC-1-1a showed stronger tumor inhibitory effects compared with 0.5 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg and 2 mg / kg of positive control (RC-48); the mice tolerated ADC-1-1a well. This indicates that ADC-1-1a has significant in vivo anti-tumor activity and safety.
