Abstract
Description
Background Technology
[0001] Protein modification can endow proteins with new properties and functions. A common protein modification strategy involves modifying amino acid residues on proteins. Because lysine and cysteine have high affinity reactivity, protein modifications are often targeted at these two amino acids.
[0002] In 2019, three antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) received FDA approval: Fam-trastuzumab Deruxtecan (for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer), Polotuzumab Vedotin (for the treatment of relapsed / refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), and Enfortumab Vedotin (for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma). These ADCs are synthesized by modifying the reduced interchain disulfide bonds on the antibody, with maleimide as the linker. It is well known that maleimide-thiol adducts are unstable and readily undergo thiol exchange reactions under physiological conditions. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) synthesized via the addition reaction between maleimide and thiol groups can lead to premature drug release, which may severely affect the stability and efficacy of the ADC.
[0003] Despite the progress made by chemists in improving the stability of maleimides and finding new stable linkers, problems remain unsolved. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a linker that meets the requirements for conjugate preparation, especially one that balances activity and stability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a potential linker that holds promise for the preparation of conjugates (e.g., ADCs). This linker is capable of reacting with nucleophilic functional groups (e.g., -SH of cysteine) of biomolecules with relatively high efficiency and / or chemoselectivity. In this application, the linker and / or conjugates containing and / or prepared via the linker remain stable in both in vitro and in vivo environments. For example, the conjugates (e.g., ADCs) described in this application can kill target cells more effectively and / or more efficiently due to their better stability and / or safety (especially at relatively high concentrations). In this application, the conjugates address the balance between activity and stability.

For example, compounds of Formula VI or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may exist in both non-solventized and solvated forms. When the solvent or water is tightly bound, the complex will have a well-defined stoichiometry independent of humidity. However, when the solvent or water is weakly bound, as in channel solvates and hygroscopic compounds, the water / solvent content will depend on humidity and drying conditions. In such cases, non-stoichiometry will serve as the standard.
[0285] Compounds of Formula III (or Formula IV, V, VI) may have asymmetric carbon atoms. For example, the carbon-carbon bonds in compounds of Formula VI may be depicted herein using solid lines, solid wedges, or dashed wedges. Using solid lines to depict bonds with asymmetric carbon atoms is intended to indicate that all possible stereoisomers (e.g., specific enantiomers, racemic mixtures, etc.) are included at that carbon atom. Using solid or dashed wedges to depict bonds with asymmetric carbon atoms is intended to indicate that only the stereoisomers shown are included. Compounds of this application may contain more than one asymmetric carbon atom. In these compounds, using solid lines to depict bonds with asymmetric carbon atoms is intended to indicate that all possible stereoisomers are included. For example, unless otherwise stated, it is intended that compounds of Formula III (or Formula IV, V, VI) may exist as enantiomers and diastereomers, or as racemic mixtures and mixtures thereof. Solid lines are used to depict bonds with one or more asymmetric carbon atoms in compounds of Formula III (or Formula IV, V, VI), and solid or dashed wedges are used to depict bonds with other asymmetric carbon atoms in the same compound, intended to indicate the presence of a mixture of diastereomers.
[0286] The compounds of this application (e.g., compounds of “Formula III” (or Formula IV, V, VI)) may exist as cage compounds or other complexes. The scope of this invention includes complexes such as cage compounds, drug-host inclusion compounds, etc., wherein the drug and host are present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts compared to the aforementioned solvates.

[0537] Example 1: Screening Michael acceptors as connectors
[0538] Michael acceptors are commonly used reagents for addition reactions of cysteine with antibodies. A novel Michael acceptor has been investigated to demonstrate its efficient and chemoselective reaction with cysteine on antibodies. Furthermore, modification of the Michael acceptor with antibodies did not result in serum degradation. Based on this, candidate Michael acceptors were used as reaction reagents, with green fluorescent protein (GFP) serving as a template protein for screening. Considering reactivity, chemoselectivity, and stability, Michael acceptors capable of highly efficient reactions with cysteine were screened.
[0539] The reaction process is shown in Figure 1 Furthermore, the chemical structures of the following Michael acceptor candidates are in... Figure 2 It is displayed in the middle.
[0540] Table 4. Screening of Michael's acceptors
[0541]
[0542] 1Reaction conditions: sfGFP E124C (320 μM, 5 μL), Michael acceptor (6.4 μL, 5 mM), PBS buffer (40 μL, pH=8), 37℃, 2 h. 2 The bonus number has no affiliation.
[0543] The Michael acceptor MA 2 was named Reagent 1 or PhESF.
[0544] Example 2: Modification of Connectors
[0545] Reagent 1 in Modification Example 1 (the chemical structure of the modified Michael acceptor candidate is as follows) Figure 3 (as shown in the image).
[0546] The effect of different substituents on the addition reaction (e.g., addition activity) was investigated when the benzene ring of reagent 1 was modified with different substituents (Michael acceptors 1-1 to 1-4) (Table 5). Michael acceptors 1-1 to 1-4 reacted with sfGFP-TEV. When the para-thiofluorine group was attached to the strongly electron-withdrawing trifluoromethoxy group, the addition activity was significantly reduced (item 4); when the electron-donating methoxy and hydroxymethyl groups were attached to the para-thiofluorine group and the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group was attached to the meta-position, the addition activity did not change significantly (items 2-3, item 5). When the sulfonyl fluoride group was attached to allyl 1-5, the addition activity was significantly reduced (item 6).
[0547] The reaction process is visible Figure 4 .

[0551] Using different configurations of alkenyl sulfonyl fluoride (the chemical structure of the modified Michael acceptor candidate is in...) Figure 5 The effects of different configurations of olefin sulfonyl fluoride on addition reactions were investigated (Table 6). When 5 equivalents of the Michael acceptor were used to react with sfGFP E124C, Michael acceptors 1, 1a, 1b, and 1a-1 all exhibited good chemoselectivity; however, Michael acceptor 1b-1 reacted with both cysteine and lysine. When 20 equivalents of the Michael acceptor were used to react with sfGFP E124C, only Michael acceptor 1 showed good chemoselectivity.

[0556] 4.1 Selectivity
[0557] To further verify the reactivity, chemoselectivity, and stability of Michael acceptor 1, linkers reported in previous literature (e.g., linkers used in ADCs) were selected as comparative examples to demonstrate that Michael acceptor 1 has good reactivity selectivity.
[0558] The previously reported chemical structure of the linker is in Figure 7 The reaction process between sfGFP E124C and the previously reported linker is shown in the figure. Figure 8 The reaction results are in Figure 9 The reaction conditions are as follows: sfGFP E124C (320 μM, 5 μL), linker (5 mM, 6.4 μL), PBS buffer (40 μL, pH=8), 37℃, 2 h.
[0559] 4.2 Competitiveness
[0560] To verify their differences in reactivity, comparative examples were conducted in a competitive test. Figure 10 The results showed that Michael acceptor 1 was moderately reactive: this means that it was more reactive than alkenylsulfonamide and alkynyl phosphate, but less reactive than maleimide (5) and carbonylacrylamide (4) (Table 7).

[0564] 4.3 Stability
[0565] Linkers 5 and 4, which exhibited higher reactivity, were used as controls to verify the stability of sfGFP-modified PhESF as a linker. After modification, sfGFP was added to a buffer containing GSH and incubated at 37°C for different times, followed by mass spectrometry analysis. The mass spectrometry results showed that linkers 4 and 5, containing modified sfGFP, underwent significant thiol exchange. However, under the same conditions, Michael acceptor 1 did not undergo thiol exchange. Figure 11 a to Figure 11c).
[0566] Example 5: Generation of conjugates containing linkers and antibodies

[0570] Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the modified antibody did not undergo elimination in serum after 7 days. Figure 13 a to Figure 13 C). In Figure 13 middle, Figure 13 a shows Herceptin chemoselectively modified with N3-PhESF; Figure 13 b shows the mass spectrometry results of the N3-PhESF modified antibody; Figure 13 c shows the results of Herceptin-PhESF-N3 in the serum stability test.
[0571] Example 7: Generation of conjugates containing linkers and drugs

Figure 15a The results of ADC stability testing in human serum are shown; Figure 15b The mass spectrometry results of Herceptin-PhESF-PEG4-MMAE in serum at different time points are shown; Figure 15c The mass spectrometry results of Herceptin-PhESF-PEG4-MMAE in serum at different time points are shown.
[0578] 8.2 DAR = 3.8
[0579] The DAR value of ADCs using MMAE as the drug is generally no more than 4. To enhance the killing effect, an ADC with a DAR value of approximately 3.8 was synthesized and verified using mass spectrometry. Figure 16 a to Figure 16 b). As a comparative example, an ADC (Herceptin-Mar-MMAE) with a DAR of approximately 3.8 was also synthesized.

The results showed that both ADCs were effective against HER2. + The killing efficiency of cells SKBR3, NCI-N87, and MDA-MB-435 was similar. Figure 17 a to Figure 17 c).

[0584] For HER -Cellular MDA-MB-231 and HER - Cellular MDA-MB-435, neither of the two ADCs showed a significant killing effect. Figure 17 d to Figure 17 e).
[0585] Herceptin-Mal-MMAE was found to significantly kill HER2 at high concentrations. - Cells, while Herceptin-PhESF-PEG4-MMAE did not show significant killing effect at high concentrations ( Figure 17 f).
[0586] Then, bystander lethality tests were conducted on the ADC, and it was found that stable Michael acceptor 1 did not affect its bystander lethality. Figure 17 g).
