Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This international patent application claims the benefit of European Patent Application No. 22306696.0 filed on November 17, 2022, and European Patent Application No. 23305484.0 filed on April 3, 2023, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background Art

[0003] The present application relates to small molecule-drug conjugates (or "Compounds"), pharmaceutical compositions, methods for their preparation, and their use for treating, preventing, or managing diseases and conditions in humans and other mammals, including hyperproliferative disorders such as cancer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Provided herein are compounds comprising one or more active agents (i.e., payloads) having therapeutic activity (e.g., cytotoxic or immunostimulatory activity), which are conjugated to one or more target protein binding agents, preferably small molecule binding agents, via one or more linking units. The compounds provided herein may include one or more enzymatically cleavable peptide linkers that enable targeted release of the payload in the tumor microenvironment. The peptide linker can be cleaved, for example, by neutrophil elastase (a protease secreted by neutrophils), particularly in response to inflammation and / or disease. Neutrophil elastase can be overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment, thereby providing site-specific delivery of cytotoxic payloads to tumors. A particular advantage of use according to the present invention is a cell-permeable payload that can penetrate diseased cells (e.g., tumor cells) when released in the tumor microenvironment, thereby producing a cytotoxic / anti-tumor effect.

[0005] The compound may include one or more (e.g., one, two, etc.) payloads and / or one or more targeting groups conjugated via a linker, the linker including a cleavable peptide and optionally further including a solubility enhancing or tumor maintaining polymeric linker unit (e.g., polyethylene glycol, polyethyleneimine, polysarcosine, etc.) and / or a branching unit. The branching unit may be a trivalent or tetravalent group, which may optionally include an amino acid or a peptide. The payloads provided herein include, but are not limited to, PTEFb inhibitors, topoisomerase inhibitors, spindle kinesin inhibitors, tubulin inhibitors, and immune agonists. Specific examples include camptothecin and its derivatives (e.g., 7-ethylcamptothecin, exatecan and N-acetyl or N-alkyl exatecan derivatives, etc.), diterpenoids (e.g., triptolide, paclitaxel or its derivatives), auristatins (e.g., monomethyl auristatin E, monomethyl auristatin F, etc.), toll-like receptor agonists (e.g., resiquimod, imiquimod), or other small molecule cytotoxins that can be cleaved by neutrophil elastase. In some embodiments, the therapeutic payload is a novel cytotoxin with favorable permeability and / or low efflux. Advantageously, the payloads provided herein have been shown to be cleaved in the tumor microenvironment without the use of self-immolative groups, which can result in unwanted off-target release of the payload. An additional advantage is that the compounds provided herein do not need to be internalized within the cell to produce an anti-tumor effect.

[0006] The compounds provided herein further include at least one and optionally two target protein binding agents, which further direct the compound to the desired site of action (e.g., a tumor or tumor microenvironment). The target protein binding agents disclosed herein are generally small molecules (molecular weight of about 1000 g / mol or less). The target protein to which the binding agent can bind includes but is not limited to α v β3 (avb3) integrin binders, fibroblast activation protein (FAP) binders, folate receptor (FR) binders, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) binders, and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX or CA9) binders, etc.

[0007] Small molecules and their conjugates may have certain advantages over their antibody counterparts (e.g., antibody-drug conjugates) due to their lower molecular weight, plasma protein binding, or other pharmacological or pharmacokinetic considerations. In addition, the conjugates provided herein may provide additional advantages over the payload itself, because not only is the payload directed to the desired cells or tissues, but the payload is non-selectively distributed throughout the subject, the conjugates provided herein may also have novel and favorable pharmacokinetic benefits (e.g., distribution, metabolism, clearance, secretion, half-life, AUC, etc.). In some embodiments, the half-life of the conjugates provided herein is more than 24 hours. Also provided herein are novel conjugate designs and / or arrangements of binding agents, payloads, and linkers. In some embodiments, the conjugates further include a pharmacokinetic modulator that can regulate one or more pharmacokinetic parameters of the conjugate. In some embodiments, the pharmacokinetic modulator includes a charged or ionizable group (e.g., a carboxylate group, a sulfonate group, a sulfinate group, a phosphonate group, an amine group, an imine group, a guanidine group, etc.).

[0008] In one aspect, provided herein is a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising one or more payloads conjugated to one or more target protein binding agents via a linker.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood by referring to the following detailed description, which describes illustrative embodiments utilizing the principles of the invention, and the accompanying drawings (also referred to herein as "Figures" or "FIG."), wherein:

[0032] Figure 1 Shown are cytokine release from freshly prepared PBMCs from three healthy donors following treatment with the indicated compounds (1 μM). DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] Although various embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described herein, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided for illustrative purposes only. Many variations, changes, and substitutions may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the present invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the present invention described herein may be used.

[0034] In some embodiments, provided herein are novel pharmaceutical compounds comprising one or more binding molecules that bind to a target molecule expressed on a tumor cell or on a cell present in the tumor microenvironment and are linked to one or more payload molecules via a protease-cleavable linker; methods for their preparation; and their use for treating, preventing, or managing diseases and conditions in humans and other mammals, including hyperproliferative disorders such as cancer.

[0035] Examples of binding molecules include those for cell adhesion proteins (e.g., integrins, such as α v β3 integrin, α vβ6 integrin, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), fibroblast activation protein (FAP), carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)) binders, chaperone protein heat shock protein 90 (Hsp 90) binders, folate receptor binders, glucose transporter 1 binders, somatostatin receptor binders, aminopeptidase N (APN) binders, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) binders, bombesin receptor binders, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH or LHRH) receptor binders, P32 binders, membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) binders, sortilin binders, and nectin-4 binders.

[0036] Protease cleavable linkers include peptide sequences that can be cleaved by tumor-associated enzymes present in the tumor microenvironment. Many of these enzymes have been shown to be part of a protease family of enzymes that primarily regulates the mobility of tumor stroma and tumor cells. Tumor microenvironment shaping proteases are, for example, serine proteases such as plasmin activators, seprase, type II transmembrane serine proteases (hepsin), or kallikreins. Another protease family in the TME is a cysteine ​​protease (such as cathepsin B and cathepsin K) or an aspartic protease (such as cathepsin D and cathepsin E), but other proteases (such as heparanase, endoglycosidase, and hyaluronidase) have been shown to be upregulated and activated within the TME. Such enzymes may be proteases, such as matrix metalloproteinases and neutrophil elastases.

[0037] The effective load employed in such conjugates may be a cytotoxic agent or an immunostimulatory agent. In some preferred embodiments, provided herein are compounds having an effective load such as a camptothecin derivative, an auristatin derivative, a CDK9 / PTEFb derivative, a spindle kinesin inhibitor derivative, or a toll-like receptor 7 and / or 8 ("TLR7 / 8") agonist derivative.

[0038] Cancer chemotherapy is often associated with severe side effects due to the toxic effects of the chemotherapeutic agents on proliferating cells of tissue types other than tumor tissue.For many years, scientists have been busy solving the problem of improving the selectivity of the active compounds employed.

[0039] 20(S)-camptothecin is a pentacyclic alkaloid isolated by Wall et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 88, 3888 (1966)) in 1966. It has high anti-tumor potential in many in vitro and in vivo tests. Unfortunately, however, due to toxicity and solubility issues, the promising potential was not realized during the clinical investigation stage.

[0040] A large number of camptothecin derivatives have been investigated in preclinical and clinical studies; among them, irinotecan, topotecan, and belotecan have been successfully approved (Li et al., Am J Cancer Res 2017;7(12):2350-2394). Some of these derivatives (AW) are listed below.

[0041]

[0042]

[0043] Improving the therapeutic window of cytotoxic agents such as camptothecin and its derivatives remains a challenge.

[0044] Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane proteins expressed on the cell surface that play an important role in cell attachment to the extracellular matrix. They recognize extracellular glycoproteins on the extracellular matrix, such as fibronectin or vitronectin, via the RGD sequence present in these proteins (RGD is the single letter code for the amino acid sequence Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic Acid). Typically, integrins (such as, for example, vitronectin receptors, which are also known as α v β3 receptor or alternatively called α v β5 receptors or GpIIb / IIIa receptors) play an important role in biological processes such as cell migration, angiogenesis and cell-matrix adhesion and therefore play an important role in diseases in which these processes are key steps. Examples include cancer, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, restenosis and ophthalmitis.

[0045] α v β3 receptors are present in large numbers on growing endothelial cells, for example, and make it possible for them to adhere to the extracellular matrix. v The β3 receptor therefore plays an important role in angiogenesis (ie, the formation of new blood vessels), a key prerequisite for tumor growth and metastasis formation in cancerous conditions.

[0046] It is possible to show that blocking the above-mentioned receptors is an important starting point for the treatment of this type of disease. If the adhesion of growing endothelial cells to the extracellular matrix is ​​inhibited by blocking their corresponding integrin receptors (for example by cyclic peptides or monoclonal antibodies), angiogenesis will not occur, leading to cessation or regression of tumor growth. Although strong preclinical results suggest that the inhibition of integrins has therapeutic potential, clinical trials using integrin inhibitors targeting those integrins have repeatedly failed to show therapeutic benefit in cancer patients.

[0047] The conjugates provided herein can be selectively concentrated in tumor tissue by introducing one or more binding molecules (i.e., target protein binding agents), and the binding molecules can be combined with target proteins (e.g., receptors) expressed in tumor tissue, preferably overexpressed. The conjugates provided herein may include one or more protease cleavable payloads (e.g., therapeutic payloads) that exhibit cytotoxicity or immunostimulatory properties when cleaved by protease. In order to reduce off-target cytotoxicity or immunostimulatory properties, the payload can be bound to the conjugate (as provided herein) via a protease cleavable linker, wherein the protease is selectively expressed (e.g., overexpressed) by tumor cells or by cells present in the tumor microenvironment. When the release of payload occurs near tumor tissue (immediate vicinity) (i.e., within the tumor microenvironment) or in tumor cells, the targeted cytotoxicity or immunostimulatory effects of the conjugates provided herein (or the therapeutic payload conjugated thereto) can be further enhanced. Additional advantages and practicality are therapeutic payloads that can penetrate tumor cells when released from the conjugate. Preferably, the therapeutic payload is not effluent or transported to the extracellular space.

[0048] WO 2000 / 069472 discloses enzyme-activated anti-tumor prodrug compounds that are specifically cleavable by collagenase (IV) and elastase. Regarding the linker unit that can be cleaved by elastase, the present application describes the specific tetrapeptide sequences Ala-Ala-Pro-Val and Ala-Ala-Pro-Nva as suitable. In addition, in this reference, there is no mention of including anti-α v Y.Liu et al. (Mol.Pharmaceutics 2012, 9, 168) described a conjugate of a portion of the β3 integrin receptor and a cytostatic. v Conjugate of auristatin with a β3 integrin targeting moiety.

[0049] EP1238678 discloses conjugates with cytotoxic agents that target α v β3 integrin and having a peptide linker specifically cleavable by elastase. Regarding the linker unit cleavable by elastase, the present application describes peptide sequences comprising Pro-Val and Pro-Leu, as exemplified by the toxophore moieties camptothecin and quinolone carboxylic acid.

[0050] Specific challenges for this type of conjugate include:

[0051] Sufficient solubility to enable intravenous administration in an appropriate vehicle,

[0052] High tumor penetration of the intact conjugate,

[0053] High stability in plasma to avoid systemic deconjugation,

[0054] Effectively binds to target receptors in the tumor microenvironment,

[0055] Efficiently cleaved by enzymes present in the tumor microenvironment,

[0056] The high cell permeability and low efflux ratio of the lysed toxin-producing fraction enhances tumor cell uptake and redistribution.

[0057] Therefore, the goal is to develop conjugates that include a moiety directed against a tumor target and a payload that is preferably released from the conjugate in the tumor microenvironment, wherein the moiety in the conjugate that is directed against a receptor in tumor tissue retains its ability to bind to the receptor and thus provides tissue selectivity for such compounds. In addition, the cleavage of the conjugate and drug release should be mediated by enzymes present and active in the tumor environment (such as neutrophil elastase). Finally, the profile of the toxin bolus should be suitable for extracellular cleavage and release mechanisms. The toxin bolus should be highly permeable to tumor cells and tissues and not a substrate for drug transporters.

[0058] WO2020094471 describes α v A conjugate of β3 integrin with 7-ethylcamptothecin, and in WO2020094471, a negatively charged carboxyl group and a PEG unit were introduced into the linker to address solubility. Many camptothecin derivatives have been studied as payloads in antibody-drug conjugates, such as DxD in Enhertu (Modi et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 382, ​​610-621) and SN38 in Trodelvy (Rugo et al., Future Oncol. 16, 705-715), both of which have recently been approved.

[0059] Since small molecule drug conjugates can show advantageous features over ADC, such as higher tumor penetration (Cazzamalli et al., J.Am.Chem.Soc.2018, 140, 1617), the present invention includes small molecule drug conjugates with selected camptothecin derivatives. Preferred camptothecin derivatives should show high efficacy, high membrane penetration properties and low efflux ratio. Exemplary camptothecin derivatives described herein include 7-ethylcamptothecin ("7EC"), 10,11-methylenedioxy-camptothecin ("FL118") and exotecan or its derivatives (e.g., N-alkyl or N-acyl derivatives of exotecan provided herein).

[0060] In order to improve tumor targeting and accumulation in the tumor microenvironment, the present invention relates to conjugates comprising one or more tumor binding molecules, a linker unit that can be selectively cleaved by a tumor-associated enzyme (such as neutrophil elastase), and one or more payload molecules. The special structural features of such conjugates may be, but are not limited to, polyalkylamine spacers, multimeric binding achieved by two or more binding molecules in the conjugate through a dendrimer approach, and / or slow release of prodrug residues to modulate (i) the PK of the conjugate, (ii) drug release from the conjugate, and / or (iii) the PK of the released free drug. Such conjugates have tumor-specific effects because they are linked to tumor homing molecules (such as binding agents) via preferred linkers that can be selectively cleaved by tumor-associated enzymes (such as neutrophil elastase). Preferred linkers provide sufficient stability of the compound / conjugate in biological media (e.g., culture medium or serum) and at the same time, due to their specific enzymatic or hydrolytic cleavability, the drug moiety is released, resulting in the desired intracellular effect within the tumor tissue.

[0061] In particular, the compounds of the present invention exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:

[0062] The modified alkyl spacer is interrupted by one or more N-alkylamino groups, which has a beneficial effect on retention in the tumor microenvironment with acidic pH, and also allows for high solubility

[0063] One or more tumor-binding moieties enable high or moderate affinity

[0064] One or more payload moieties enable high anti-proliferative potency

[0065] Despite significant steric challenges, these novel linkers appear to be highly susceptible to cleavage by enzymes present in the tumor stroma, such as neutrophil elastase

[0066] High stability of the conjugate in plasma and increased cytotoxic activity in the presence of elastase

[0088] The term "carbocyclic" or "carbocycle" refers to a ring or ring system in which the atoms forming the backbone of the ring are all carbon atoms. The term thus distinguishes carbocycle from a "heterocyclic" ring or "heterocycle" in which the ring backbone contains at least one atom other than carbon. In some embodiments, at least one of the two rings of a bicyclic carbocycle is aromatic. In some embodiments, both rings of a bicyclic carbocycle are aromatic.

[0094] As used herein, "small molecule" generally refers to any molecule with a molecular weight of about 1000 atomic mass units (Daltons) or less. In some embodiments, a portion within a compound described herein is considered a small molecule, meaning that the portion has a molecular weight of about 1000 Da or less. As used herein, small molecules do not include proteins or antibodies, but may include peptides or amino acids. In some cases, the compounds described herein are conjugates of two small molecule moieties. Therefore, the compounds described herein may be referred to as "small molecule drug conjugates" (SMDC) or "small molecule prodrug conjugates" (SMPC). For example, SMPC may include a cleavable group (e.g., enzymatic cleavage or chemical cleavage), such as an ester, which produces an SMDC when cleaved. In some instances, an SMPC described herein (sometimes referred to as a prodrug) may first be cleaved (e.g., in plasma) before an enzyme can effectively recognize and cleave the SMDC, thereby releasing the active agent in two steps. In some embodiments, SMPC achieves a slow conversion to SMDC, which is cleaved more rapidly (i.e., in the presence of a suitable enzyme (e.g., a tumor-associated enzyme such as elastase, legumin, or cathepsin)), thereby enhancing the therapeutic window or reducing side effects.

[0095] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to a material, such as a carrier or diluent, that does not abrogate the biological activity or properties of the compound and is relatively nontoxic at the concentrations or amounts employed, e.g., when administered to a subject without causing undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any component of a composition in which it is contained.

[0096] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a form of a therapeutically active agent consisting of a cationic form of the therapeutically active agent in combination with a suitable anion, or in alternative embodiments, a form of the therapeutically active agent consisting of an anionic form of the therapeutically active agent in combination with a suitable cation. Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection and Use. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Wiley-VCH 2002. SM Berge, LD Bigley, DC Monkhouse, J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19. PH Stahl and CG Wermuth, eds., Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection and Use, Weinheim / Zürich: Wiley-VCH / VHCA, 2002. Pharmaceutical salts are generally more soluble and dissolve more rapidly in gastric and intestinal fluids than non-ionic species and are therefore suitable for use in solid dosage forms. Furthermore, since their solubility is generally a function of pH, selective solubility in one part of the digestive tract or another is possible and this ability can be manipulated as an aspect of delayed and sustained release behavior. Furthermore, since salt-forming molecules can be equilibrated in neutral form, delivery across biological membranes can be modulated.

[0097]

[00146] The term "acceptable," with respect to a formulation, composition or ingredient, as used herein, means having no persistent detrimental effect on the general health of the subject being treated.

[0098] As used herein, the terms "administer," "administering," and "administration" refer to methods that can be used to achieve delivery of a compound or composition to a desired biological site of action. These methods include, but are not limited to, oral routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intravascular, or infusion), topical, and rectal administration. Those skilled in the art are familiar with the administration techniques that can be employed for the compounds and methods described herein. In some embodiments, the compounds and compositions described herein are administered orally.

[0099] As used herein, the term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of an agent or compound administered that is sufficient to alleviate to some extent one or more symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. Results include alleviation or relief of signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. For example, an "effective amount" for therapeutic use is the amount of a composition comprising a compound disclosed herein required to provide a clinically significant reduction in disease symptoms. Techniques such as dose escalation studies are optionally used to determine an appropriate "effective" amount in any individual case.

[0100] As used herein, the terms "enhance" or "enhancing" mean to increase or prolong either the potency or duration of a desired effect. Thus, with respect to enhancing the effect of therapeutic agents, the term "enhancing" refers to the ability to increase or prolong either the potency or duration of the effect of other therapeutic agents on a system. As used herein, an "enhancing-effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to enhance the effect of other therapeutic agents in a desired system.

[0101] The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the subject matter described.

[0102] Small molecule-drug conjugates

[0103] Cancer cells or tumor microenvironments overexpress certain enzymes, including but not limited to neutrophil elastase. The conjugates described herein can generally be enzymatically cleaved by neutrophil elastase. In some embodiments, the conjugates described herein are selectively cleavable in the microenvironment of cancer cells, with less cleavage occurring in the circulation or in healthy tissues. In some embodiments, the conjugates described herein are cytotoxic or immunostimulatory after activation by tumor-related enzymes (such as neutrophil elastase and / or legumin). In some embodiments, the conjugates described herein are non-toxic at therapeutic concentrations in the absence of the activation. The cytotoxic agents described herein are topoisomerase (topoisomerase I) inhibitors, cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) / positive transcription elongation factor (P-TEFb) inhibitors, spindle kinesin (KSP) inhibitors, or tubulin polymerization inhibitors. In some embodiments, the cytotoxic agent is a small molecule, peptide, peptide derivative (e.g., auristatin). In some embodiments, the conjugates described herein are immunostimulatory upon activation by neutrophil elastase (e.g., via activation of a toll-like receptor (TLR), which may include TLR 7 and / or TLR 8 (TLR7 / 8)). The cytotoxic agent or immunostimulatory agent may also be conjugated to a protein-binding moiety, e.g., via an enzymatically cleavable linker or spacer, or to a multivalent linker attached to two or more protein-binding agents. In some embodiments, the protein of interest is αv β3 (avb3) integrin, α v beta6 (avb6) integrin, fibroblast activation protein (FAP), folate receptor (FR), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), or carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX or CA9).

[0104] In some embodiments, provided herein are small molecule-drug conjugates (SMDCs) designed for payload release and activation in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The linkers disclosed herein have been optimized to substrate sequences for enzymes that are upregulated in the tumor microenvironment. Many of these enzymes are part of a protease family of enzymes that are involved in regulating the motility of tumor stroma and tumor cells. Some of these tumor microenvironment-forming proteases are, for example, serine proteases, such as plasmin activators, separases, type II transmembrane serine proteases, or kallikreins. Another protease family in the TME is a cysteine ​​protease (such as cathepsin B and cathepsin K) or an aspartic protease (such as cathepsin D and cathepsin E), but other proteases (such as heparanase, endoglycosidase, and hyaluronidase) have been shown to be upregulated and activated in the TME. Such enzymes may be proteases, such as matrix metalloproteinases, cathepsins, and neutrophil elastases.

[0105] Another key aspect of SMDC performance is the physicochemical properties of the released payload. The payload cleaved extracellularly by the SMDC disclosed in the present invention should be membrane permeable and effectively penetrate into tumor tissue in the TME. The release of cell-permeable payloads is associated with a bystander killing effect, which is believed to be particularly beneficial for the treatment of tumors with heterogeneous target expression.

[0106] Disclosed herein are conjugates comprising one or more small molecule target protein binders connected via a linker and one or more therapeutic payloads connected via a protease cleavable linker. The linker may further include a non-cleavable linker. The non-cleavable linker described herein may be divalent or multivalent. For example, in some embodiments, a conjugate is provided herein comprising a non-cleavable linker that links a target protein binder to multiple therapeutic payloads, wherein each therapeutic payload is linked to the non-cleavable linker via a protease cleavable linker. In other embodiments, the non-cleavable linker links a single target protein binder to a single therapeutic payload, but a given conjugate may include multiple non-cleavable linkers, each of which is linked to a therapeutic payload via a protease cleavable linker. The non-cleavable linker may include functional elements, including physicochemical regulatory elements (e.g., solubility enhancers), pharmacokinetic regulatory elements (e.g., tumor targeting or tumor retention groups), proximity regulatory elements (e.g., spacers), or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the non-cleavable linker disclosed herein (e.g., L 1 , L 2 ) is linked to a protease-cleavable linker (e.g., P 1 、P 1a ).

[0107] The therapeutic payload used according to the present invention can be, for example, a drug. Therefore, conjugates are generally referred to as SMDCs in this article. However, the term SMDC used herein may refer to any conjugate including a target protein binding agent and a therapeutic payload, and is not particularly limited to therapeutic payloads that must be defined as "drugs". The therapeutic payload can be, for example, a cytotoxic agent or an immunostimulant. Preferably, the therapeutic payload can permeate cell membranes (e.g., tumor cell membranes). More preferably, the therapeutic payload can penetrate into tumor cells and produce cytotoxic or antiproliferative effects in cells. The therapeutic payload can be configured to be released extracellularly in the tumor microenvironment (e.g., via cleavage of a protease cleavable linker by an extracellular tumor-associated protein (e.g., neutrophil elastase)). The therapeutic payload released extracellularly (e.g., tumor penetrating therapeutic payload) can enter tumor cells and produce potent cytotoxic or immunostimulatory effects. In some cases, the therapeutic payload is a microtubule toxin, a DNA toxin, a transcriptional toxin, or an immunostimulant. In some cases, the microtubule toxin is a maytansinoid, an auristatin, an epithilone, a taxoid, a tubulysin, an eribulin alkaloid, a vinca alkaloid, eribulin, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the DNA toxin is an anthracycline, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, a duacarmycin or its analog, a calicheamicin, a DNA cross-linking agent, bleomycin A2, dactinomucin, mitomycin C, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the transcriptional toxin is an amatoxin, thailanstatin A, an oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor, a protein kinase inhibitor, a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor, or a histone deacetylase inhibitor.

[0108] The present invention may further include one or more small molecule binders (SMBs) to a target protein. In some cases, the target protein is a target protein on a tumor cell. In some embodiments, the target protein is selected from α-vβ-3 ("α v β3" or "avβ3") integrin, α-vβ-6 ("α vβ6 or “avβ6”) integrin, carbonic anhydrase IX (“CA9” or “CAIX”), fibroblast activation protein (“FAP”), prostate-specific membrane antigen (“PSMA”), heat shock protein 90 (“Hsp90”), folate receptor, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), somatostatin receptor, aminopeptidase N (APN), low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), bombesin receptor, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor, p32, membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), sortilin or adhesion protein-4.

[0881] Prodrug

[0882] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as prodrugs. "Prodrug" refers to an agent that is converted into a parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are generally useful because they are easier to administer than the parent drug in some cases. They are, for example, bioavailable by oral administration, while the parent drug is not. Additionally or alternatively, compared to the parent drug, the prodrug also has improved solubility in the pharmaceutical composition. In some embodiments, the design of the prodrug increases effective water solubility. Examples of prodrugs (not limited to) are compounds described herein, which are administered as esters ("prodrugs"), but are then metabolically hydrolyzed to provide an active entity. Another example of a prodrug is a short peptide (polyamino acid) bonded to an acid group, wherein the peptide is metabolized to display an active portion. In certain embodiments, in the case of in vivo administration, the prodrug is chemically converted into a biologically, pharmaceutically, or therapeutically active form of the compound. In certain embodiments, the prodrug is enzymatically metabolized to a biologically, pharmaceutically, or therapeutically active form of the compound by one or more steps or processes.

[0883] In some embodiments, the prodrug is activated when an enzyme cleaves the prodrug (e.g., a tumor-associated enzyme such as neutrophil elastase). In some embodiments, the prodrug comprises a peptide sequence recognized by a given enzyme. In some embodiments, the prodrug is selectively cleaved by a specific enzyme.

[0884] In some embodiments, the prodrug further comprises a non-peptide prodrug moiety (e.g., an ester) that is released in vivo. The non-peptide prodrug moiety indicates that the bond that is metabolized or broken to release the active agent is not a peptide bond (-C(O)--NH-). In some embodiments, the non-peptide prodrug moiety is an alkyl ester (including substitutions, such as alkyl substitutions on alkyl groups). In some embodiments, the non-peptide prodrug moiety is an ester of an amino acid, such as an aspartic acid or glutamic acid residue. In some embodiments, the alkyl ester prodrug is represented by Asp* or Glu*, indicating that the alkyl (e.g., substituted alkyl) group masks the carboxylic acid portion of the side chain. In some embodiments, provided herein are prodrug compounds wherein the alkylamine (-C 1-6 Alkyl-NR2) or alkylammonium (-C 1-6 Alkyl-NR3 + ) group in vivo (wherein "R" as used herein is hydrogen or C 1-6In some embodiments, the non-peptide prodrug portion (e.g., an ester (e.g., an alkylamine or alkylammonium ester)) is released from an amino acid ester (e.g., Asp* or Glu*) to liberate the acid portion. In some embodiments, the non-peptide prodrug portion (e.g., an ester (e.g., an alkylamine or alkylammonium ester)) is released (i.e., cleaved) in plasma, while the enzymatically cleavable portion remains intact (e.g., when the cleavage enzyme is absent or sufficient). In some embodiments, the prodrug ester is slowly cleaved in plasma, and there is no detectable release of the enzymatically cleavable portion or the payload (e.g., a cytotoxic or cytostatic ligand) attached thereto. In some embodiments, the non-peptide (i.e., ester) prodrug portion is cleaved before the peptide prodrug portion. In some embodiments, the non-peptide (i.e., ester) prodrug portion is cleaved independently of protease activity (e.g., non-proteolytic cleavage). In some embodiments, the non-peptide (i.e., ester) prodrug portion is slowly cleaved to an extent of about 50% (± 5%). As used herein, "slowly" means that the prodrug is cleaved to an extent of about 50% after at least two hours in plasma. In some embodiments, slow cleavage constitutes about 50% prodrug release (i.e., release of the ester portion to produce the active carboxylic acid) in plasma after about 2, about 3, about 4, about 5, about 6, about 8, about 10, or about 12 hours. In some embodiments, slow cleavage constitutes about 50% prodrug release in plasma after about 2 to about 12 hours. In some embodiments, the ester prodrug is cleaved to about 50% in plasma after about 2 to about 6 hours. In some embodiments, the ester prodrug is cleaved to about 50% in plasma after about 2 to about 4 hours. As previously described, the non-peptide (i.e., ester) prodrug portion is cleaved independently of (e.g., in the absence or presence of) proteolytic enzymes (such as cathepsin B, legumin, or neutrophil elastase). As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the ester prodrug portion is cleaved to about 50% after about 3 or 4 hours of in vivo administration (and within about 6 hours). In some embodiments, the degradation product of such prodrugs is the parent conjugate without the alkyl ester, meaning that the enzymatically cleavable moiety, the cytotoxic or cytostatic moiety, the linker / spacer, and the integrin binding agent remain intact. In some embodiments, enzymatic cleavage occurs after the release of the ester prodrug moiety. In some embodiments, the protease responsible for cleaving the enzymatically cleavable moiety recognizes free Asp or Glu residues rather than the Asp* or Glu* prodrug ester.

[0885] Prodrugs of the compounds described herein include, but are not limited to, esters, ethers, carbonates, thiocarbonates, N-acyl derivatives, N-acyloxyalkyl derivatives, N-alkoxyacyl derivatives, quaternary derivatives of tertiary amines, N-Mannich bases, Schiff bases, amino acid conjugates, phosphates, and sulfonates. See, for example, Design of Prodrugs, Bundgaard, A. Ed., Elsevier, 1985, and Method in Enzymology, Widder, K. et al., eds.; Academic, 1985, vol. 42, p. 309-396; A Textbook of Bundgaard, H. "Design and Application of Prodrugs" in Drug Design and Development, Krosgaard-Larsen and H. Bundgaard, eds., 1991, Chapter 5, p. 113-191; and Bundgaard, H., Advanced Drug Delivery Review, 1992, 8, 1-38, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. In some embodiments, the hydroxyl groups in the compounds disclosed herein are used to form prodrugs, wherein the hydroxyl groups are introduced into acyloxyalkyl esters, alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl esters, alkyl esters, aryl esters, phosphate esters, sugar esters, and ethers, etc. In some embodiments, the hydroxyl groups in the compounds disclosed herein are prodrugs, wherein the hydroxyl groups are subsequently metabolized in vivo to provide a carboxylic acid group. In some embodiments, the carboxyl group is used to provide an ester or amide (e.g., a prodrug), which is subsequently metabolized in vivo to provide a carboxylic acid group. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as alkyl ester prodrugs.

[0886] Prodrug forms of the compounds described herein, wherein the prodrug as described herein is metabolized in vivo to produce the conjugates described herein are included within the scope of the claims.In some cases, some of the compounds described herein are prodrugs of another derivative or active compound.

[0887] In some embodiments, any of the hydroxyl group, amino group, or carboxylic acid group is functionalized in a suitable manner to provide a prodrug moiety. In some embodiments, the prodrug moiety is as described above.

By way of example only, the compounds described herein can be administered topically to the area in need of treatment, for example, by local infusion during surgery, topical application such as cream or ointment, injection, catheter, or implant. Administration can also be by direct injection at the site of the diseased tissue or organ.

[0892] In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions suitable for oral administration are presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets, or tablets, each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion. In some embodiments, the active ingredient is presented as a bolus, electuary, or paste.

[0893] Orally usable pharmaceutical compositions include tablets, push-fit capsules made of gelatin, and soft sealed capsules made of gelatin and plasticizers such as glycerol or sorbitol. Tablets can be manufactured by compressing or molding together with one or more auxiliary ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing the active ingredient in a free-flowing form (such as powder or granules) in a suitable machine, optionally mixed with a binder, an inert diluent or lubricant, a surfactant or a dispersant. Molded tablets can be manufactured by molding a mixture of powdered compounds moistened with an inert liquid diluent in a suitable machine. In some embodiments, the tablets are coated or scored and formulated to provide a slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. All formulations for oral administration should be in a dosage suitable for such administration. Push-fit capsules can contain a mixture of the active ingredient and fillers such as lactose, binders such as starch, or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate, and optionally stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compound can be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin or liquid polyethylene glycol. In some embodiments, a stabilizer is added. The dragee core has a suitable coating. For this purpose, a concentrated sugar solution can be used, which can optionally include gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbomer gel, polyethylene glycol or titanium dioxide, lacquer liquid and a suitable organic solvent or solvent mixture. Dyes or pigments can be added to tablets or dragee coatings for identification or in order to characterize the different combinations of active compound dosages.

[0894] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for parenteral administration by injection (e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion). Injectable formulations can be presented in unit dosage form, for example, in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with the addition of preservatives. The composition can be in the form of a suspension, solution, or emulsion in an oily or aqueous solvent, and can include preparatons such as suspending agents, stabilizers, or dispersants. The composition can be present in unit dose or multi-dose containers, such as sealed ampoules and vials, and can be stored in powder form or stored under freeze-dried (lyophilized) conditions requiring only the addition of a sterile liquid carrier (e.g., saline or sterile pyrogen-free water) immediately prior to use. Ready-to-use injection solutions and suspensions can be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets of the type previously described.

[0895] Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous (oily) sterile injection solutions of the active compound that may contain antioxidants, buffers, antibacterial agents, and solutes that make the preparation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions that may include suspending agents and thickening agents.
