Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology and relates to polysaccharide drug conjugates targeting PSMA, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein composed of 751 amino acids with a molecular weight of approximately 100 kDa. Its structure includes a short N-terminal intracellular region (19 amino acids), a transmembrane region (24 amino acids), and a large C-terminal extracellular region (708 amino acids). The C-terminal extracellular region contains a catalytically active site belonging to the M28 family of metalloproteinases and exhibiting glutamate carboxypeptidase activity.

[0004] PSMA is expressed at low levels in normal prostate epithelial cells, primarily located in the plasma membrane and intracellular portion of epithelial cells. However, in prostate cancer cells, PSMA expression is significantly upregulated, particularly in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), where expression levels are typically higher. Furthermore, PSMA has also been found expressed in some non-prostate-derived tumors, such as renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and certain types of gliomas. PSMA possesses gamma-glutamyl peptidase activity, hydrolyzing N-acetylaspartate-α-glutamylamine (NAAG) in the extracellular matrix to release glutamate, increasing free glutamate levels in the tumor microenvironment and thus promoting angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is crucial for rapid tumor growth and metastasis. PSMA can enhance tumor cell survival and tolerance to apoptosis by modulating signaling pathways in the tumor microenvironment, such as the PI3K / Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. PSMA is associated with cell adhesion and matrix degradation, promoting cancer cell penetration across the basement membrane and enhancing tumor invasiveness. Its enzymatic activity can regulate the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), promote the degradation of the extracellular matrix, and make it easier for cancer cells to migrate to distant tissues. Due to the high expression of PSMA in tumors such as prostate cancer, and the close correlation between its expression level and the malignancy of the tumor, PSMA has become a key target for multiple targeted therapy strategies.

[0005] In recent years, PSMA-targeted therapy has achieved some breakthroughs, especially in the field of targeted small-molecule radionuclide therapy. 2-[3-(1,3-dicarboxypropyl)ureo]glutaric acid (DUPA) is a small-molecule PSMA ligand that has become a promising candidate for designing novel PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals due to its high affinity and specific binding ability to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). In 2022, the US FDA approved 177Lu-PSMA-617 (trade name Pluvicto) for the treatment of mCRPC patients, becoming the first approved PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceutical. However, the toxicity and side effects of radiopharmaceuticals are a major drawback, requiring strict protective measures and high manufacturing standards, resulting in very high prices and significant inconvenience for patients. Furthermore, during radiopharmaceutical use, patients are restricted from contact with family members, impacting their quality of life. Alternatives to PSMA-targeted radiotherapy for tumors are currently being developed. Regarding the development of small-molecule PSMA-targeted tumor drugs, the literature has reported: 1) Small-molecule drug conjugates obtained by covalently coupling drugs (such as docetaxel) or toxins (such as MMAE) to DUPA via a linker arm, using DUPA and its derivatives as small-molecule PSMA ligands. Although these small-molecule drug conjugates show significant anti-tumor effects in animals, their molecular weight is below 5000, they are rapidly excreted by the kidneys, and have a very short half-life in vivo. 2) PMSA protein degrading agents (PROTACs) designed based on DUPA small-molecule ligands. To date, as a new type of drug, protein degrading agents have only a few precedents of approval for marketing.

[0006] In the development of macromolecular targeted therapies for PSMA tumors, the main approaches are antibodies such as J591 and D2B, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) such as MLN2704, PSMA-MMAE, MEDI3726, and ARX517. While two antibodies and three PSMA antibody-drug conjugates have been reported in the literature, they failed in clinical trials due to severe toxicity. To date, no macromolecular antibodies or ADCs have been approved for marketing for targeted therapy of PSMA tumors. Furthermore, both antibodies and ADCs are large molecules with poor penetration into solid tumors and exhibit antigenicity, leading to a high risk of drug resistance.

[0007] In summary, PSMA-targeted therapy still faces challenges, such as drug resistance and treatment-related toxicities, necessitating the development of novel, highly effective, and low-toxicity therapies targeting PSMA-related tumors. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a polysaccharide drug conjugate targeting PSMA, its preparation method, and its application.

[0009] This invention demonstrates through a series of experiments that the polysaccharide-PSMA ligand-taxane (or with added lipid compound units) conjugate of general formula I is an effective drug for targeted therapy of PSMA tumors. The general formula I structure can optionally consist of six parts: a modified or unmodified polysaccharide, a taxane drug and a structurally similar compound, an unsaturated fatty acid unit, a PSMA ligand, a linker arm, and a spacer group, with an average molecular weight of 1.0k to 1000k Daltons. The mechanism of action of Formula I: A dual-drug conjugate of a large polymer polysaccharide (especially dextran) (or a modified glutamate fragment carrying a negative charge in the blood) is non-antigenic, thus rarely exhibiting the "protein crown phenomenon" where it is recognized as a foreign substance by immune cells, a common problem with traditional nanomedicines. It is not rapidly cleared by the reticuloendothelial system, thus avoiding accumulation in the liver and spleen, significantly reducing hepatotoxicity, a major cause of antitumor drug failure. The Formula I dual-drug conjugate also accumulates in tumor tissue through its leakage and retention effect (commonly known as the "EPR effect"). The PSMA ligand in Formula I actively binds to the PSMA protein of tumor cells, further enriching the drug in tumor tissue. Once inside tumor cells, under enzymatic catalysis, dextran is completely degraded into small glucose molecules, allowing one or two drugs with different mechanisms of action, including taxanes and structurally similar compounds such as docetaxel or cabazitaxel, along with unsaturated fatty acids like gamma-linolenic acid, to be fully released. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) has a synergistic antitumor effect against docetaxel or cabazitaxel without increasing the toxicity of docetaxel or cabazitaxel to normal cells. Furthermore, some PSMA tumors exhibit macropinocytosis activity, actively phagocytosing bivalent conjugates for highly efficient intracellular entry. This efficiency in penetrating the cell is a characteristic not found in other types of antitumor drugs such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), small molecule kinase inhibitors, and peptides.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: In the first aspect, a polysaccharide drug conjugate targeting PSMA has the structure shown in general formula I, or its isomers or derivatives, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof.

[0011] General Formula I Among them, spacer 4, linker arm 3, or target PSMA ligand are covalently linked to the polysaccharide binding site of the polysaccharide, and spacer 4, linker arm 3 and target PSMA ligand are covalently linked. Spacer 1, linker arm 1, branched structural unit, spacer 2, linker arm 2, or taxane compound are covalently linked to the polysaccharide binding site of the polysaccharide. Spacer 1, linker arm 1, branched structural unit, spacer 2, linker arm 2 are covalently linked to the taxane compound, and branched structural unit, spacer 3, and unsaturated fatty acid unit are covalently linked. The covalent bonds are selected from amide bonds, carbamate bonds, aminothiocarbamate bonds, ester bonds, isourea bonds, thiourea bonds, urea bonds, disulfide bonds, carbonate bonds, phosphate ester bonds, phosphoamide bonds, sulfonamide bonds, α-glycosidic bonds, β-glycosidic bonds, and triazole-containing covalent bonds.

[0012] In some embodiments, the polysaccharide binding site is selected from the hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, phosphate, and sulfonic acid groups of the polysaccharide.

[0013] In some embodiments, the polysaccharide is selected from dextran, levtran, hyaluronic acid, cyclodextrin (α, β, or γ), hydroxyethyl starch, xylan, polysialic acid, Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide, lentinan, and amylose, and the molecular weight of the polysaccharide ranges from 0.3k to 3000k Daltons; preferably, it is dextran. Dextran is a high molecular weight polymer formed by glucose condensation, which has the characteristics of good water solubility, biodegradability, high biocompatibility with human tissues, non-immunogenicity, and good safety. It is widely used in clinical practice as a blood volume expander and as a drug carrier. Dextran can deliver drugs through physical encapsulation or chemical coupling, and the conjugates generated by chemical coupling are more stable than those generated by physical encapsulation. In addition, dextran-carrier nanoparticles are less likely to form protein corona in plasma, which can better avoid clearance by the mononuclear macrophage system and complement system, and prolong the half-life. Polymer dextran exhibits superior permeability and retention in tumor tissues (commonly known as the "EPR" effect), leading to its enrichment at tumor sites. Furthermore, it can be efficiently concentrated within tumor cells through macropinocytosis, resulting in excellent tumor-targeting enrichment. Therefore, using dextran as a drug carrier, combined with ligands targeting PSMA, allows for precise drug delivery to PSMA-affected tumor tissues, demonstrating promising clinical application value.

In vitro inhibition of PSMA tumor proliferation assay Two cell lines with high PSMA expression (22rv1 and LNCaP) and one cell line with low PSMA expression (PC3) were selected and cultured in culture medium until they were in good growth condition. The cells were then digested with trypsin, centrifuged, collected, resuspended in serum-containing medium, and diluted to 1×10⁻⁶. 5 Single-cell suspension of 100 µL cells / mL was added to each well of a 96-well plate and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 h. After 48 hours, the culture medium was aspirated, and drug-containing medium was added to the experimental group, while drug-free medium was added to the control group. The plates were incubated for 72 h. After the incubation period, the culture medium was discarded, and 100 µL of CCK-8 (basal culture medium: CCK-8 reagent = 9:1) was added to each well. After completing the above steps, the plates were incubated at 37°C for 1.5 h, and the absorbance was measured using a microplate reader.

[0098] Table 1. IC50 of the coupling agent on each cell at 72 h. 50 value

[0099] Conclusion: The conjugate with the PSMA-targeting ligand exhibited stronger inhibitory activity against the PSMA-overexpressing cell line than against the low-PSMA-expressing cell line, and also stronger inhibitory activity against the PSMA-overexpressing cell line without the PSMA-targeting ligand. In the PSMA-low-expressing cell line, the IC50 of the conjugate was significantly higher. 50 The values ​​were no different from those of the original drug CTX. Experimental results indicate that the PSMA-targeting ligand conjugate has enhanced cytotoxicity in PSMA-high expressing tumor cells.

[0100] Animal tumor targeted trials Fluorescent dyes and their conjugates were injected intravenously into nude mice with 22Rv1 prostate cancer cell xenografts, and the fluorescence intensity of the tumors was measured at different time points. Results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The results showed that: (1) the fluorescence intensity in the tumor of the Cy7.5 group was very low, significantly lower than that of the two conjugate groups, and gradually decreased after 4 h. (2) the fluorescence intensity in the tumor of the two conjugate groups first increased with time, and began to decrease after 8 h, Dextran-Cy7.5-L PSMA The fluorescence intensity of the conjugate was significantly higher than that of the Dextran-Cy7.5 conjugate group from 1 to 96 h. (3) At 96 h, the fluorescence intensity of the Dextran-Cy7.5-L PSMA The fluorescence intensity of the conjugate in tumors was higher than that in normal tissues (heart, liver, spleen, lung). (4) At 96 h, Dextran-Cy7.5-L PSMA The fluorescence intensity of the conjugate in the tumor was higher than that of the Cy7.5 and Dextran-Cy7.5 conjugate groups.

[0101] Conclusion: The above results indicate that the coupling Dextran-Cy7.5-L PSMA Couplers have tumor targeting and tissue selectivity, and can remain in tumors for a long time.

[0102] In vivo antitumor activity and safety evaluation of conjugates In vivo antitumor experiments were conducted using two batches of 22Rv1 and PC-3 / PSMA tumor-bearing nude mouse models. The antitumor activity of the conjugate was evaluated by monitoring changes in tumor volume and body weight in the nude mice during drug administration.

[0103] Results of in vivo tumor suppression assay and survival curve analysis in 22Rv1 tumor-bearing nude mice Evaluation of the prototype drug cabazitaxel (CTX), conjugate 35 (Dextran-CTX), and conjugate 31 (Dextran-CTX-L) using a 22Rv1 tumor-bearing nude mouse model. PSMA ) and coupling 30b (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L PSMA The antitumor activity of ) was observed. Results were as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The results showed that: (1) there was a dose-dependent relationship between the tumor inhibition rates of the two dose groups of each drug. (2) at a dose of 5 mg / kg, the tumor inhibition rates of all three conjugate groups were higher than those of the original drug CTX.

[0104] (3) At doses of 5 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg, the tumor inhibition rates of conjugate 31 (Dextran-CTX) were 75.2% and 80.5%, respectively, and those of conjugate 35 (Dextran-CTX-L) were 80.5%. PSMA The tumor inhibition rates of the two drugs were 80.2% and 90.7%, respectively, and the conjugate 31 (Dextran-CTX-L) showed similar results. PSMA The activity of conjugate 30b (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L) was stronger than that of conjugate 35 (Dextran-CTX). (4) At doses of 5 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg, conjugate 30b (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L) was more active than that of conjugate 35 (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L). PSMA Due to the synergistic antitumor effect of the contained GLA, the tumor inhibition rates increased to 93.5% and 95.2%, respectively. These results indicate that conjugate 30b (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L) exhibits significant antitumor activity. PSMA The conjugate has the strongest antitumor activity.

[0105] Figure 3 The study showed changes in body weight in nude mice during administration. Both dosage groups of the parent drug cabazitaxel (CTX) experienced a sustained decrease in body weight. Specifically, the 10 mg / kg CTX group showed a 20% decrease in body weight on day 14, while the 5 mg / kg group showed a 10% decrease on day 28. This indicates that both doses of the parent drug cabazitaxel (CTX) exhibit strong general toxicity in nude mice. In contrast, the control and conjugate groups showed stable body weight with a slight upward trend, suggesting that the conjugate significantly improved safety.

[0106] Conclusion: The above results indicate that in nude mice with PSMA-overexpressing prostate cancer cell 22Rv1 xenografts, conjugates 31 and 30b exhibit high antitumor activity and safety, and significantly reduce the toxicity of the antitumor drug cabazitaxel, suggesting that the tolerable dose of the drug can be significantly improved to achieve optimal anticancer efficacy.

[0107] Results of in vivo tumor suppression assay in nude mice with PC-3 / PSMA tumor-bearing cells Evaluation of the prototype drug cabazitaxel (CTX), conjugate 35 (Dextran-CTX), and conjugate 31 (Dextran-CTX-L) using a PC-3 / PSMA tumor-bearing nude mouse model PSMA ) and coupling 30b (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L PSMA The result is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown: (1) There was a dose-dependent relationship between the tumor inhibition rates of the two dose groups for each drug. (2) At a dose of 5 mg / kg, the tumor inhibition rates of all three conjugate groups were higher than those of the parent drug cabazitaxel (CTX). (3) At doses of 5 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg, the tumor inhibition rates of conjugate 35 (Dextran-CTX) were 34.7% and 47.6%, respectively, and those of conjugate 31 (Dextran-CTX-L) were higher. PSMA The tumor inhibition rates of conjugate 30b (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L) were 66.5% and 86.9%, respectively, and the activity of conjugate 31 was stronger than that of conjugate 35. (4) At doses of 5 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg, the tumor inhibition rates of conjugate 30b (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L) were 66.5% and 86.9%, respectively, and the activity of conjugate 31 was stronger than that of conjugate 35. PSMA Due to the synergistic antitumor effect of the contained GLA, the tumor inhibition rates increased to 89.1% and 96.6%, respectively. These results indicate that conjugate 30b (Dextran-CTX-GLA-L) exhibits significant antitumor activity. PSMA PC-3 / PSMA exhibits the strongest antitumor activity. In vivo safety evaluation in nude mice bearing tumors. During the administration period, the body weight of nude mice in both dose groups of cabazitaxel (CTX) showed a continuous decreasing trend; after 14 days of administration, the average body weight of nude mice in the 5 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg dose groups decreased by 10% and 20%, respectively; at the end of the 21-day experiment, there was no significant difference in body weight between the control group and the conjugate group, and there was a slight increasing trend. Figure 6 The nude mice were healthy and in good spirits.

[0108] Conclusion: The above results indicate that in nude mice with PSMA-expressing prostate cancer cell line PC-3 / PSMA xenografts, conjugates 31 and 30b exhibit high antitumor activity and safety, significantly reduce the toxicity of the antitumor drug cabazitaxel, and increase the tolerable dose of the drug.
