Abstract
Description
[0001] This invention claims priority to an earlier application filed on July 25, 2024, with China National Intellectual Property Administration, patent application number 202411004557.2, entitled "Antibody-Drug Conjugates and Preparation Methods Thereof and Uses Thereof". The entire contents of the aforementioned earlier application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to novel antibody-drug conjugates, their preparation methods, and their uses. Background Technology
[0003] While immunotherapy, primarily based on immune checkpoint inhibitors, has improved the prognosis of patients with various malignant tumors, a significant portion of the population still fails to achieve effective clinical benefits or develops drug resistance. The E3 ligase CBL-b has been shown to play a crucial negative feedback regulatory role in the immune system. CBL-b inhibitors can significantly enhance immune system activity, promote the release of cytokines such as IL-2 and IFN-γ, promote T cell and NK cell proliferation, and enhance the tumor-killing ability of immune cells. Simultaneously, CBL-b inhibitors can restore the function of exhausted T cells and have shown synergistic effects with the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD1 antibody in multiple in vivo models.
[0004] Systemic CBL-b gene knockout in mice resulted in a significant and strong autoimmune response, indicating that systemic CBL-b inhibition carries the risk of inducing a cytokine storm or systemic immune response. Furthermore, due to the high homology (86% amino acid sequence similarity) between the functional regions of CBL-b and c-CBL, small molecule inhibitors struggle to achieve sufficient selectivity. Dual inhibition of CBL-b and c-CBL in dendritic cells (DCs) causes severe hepatotoxicity, leading to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Studies have shown that PD-1 is highly expressed in tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Attaching immune activators to PD-1 antibodies can specifically activate immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, reducing the risk of systemic adverse reactions. Therefore, to avoid direct systemic activation of immune cells, this study conjugated a CBL-b small molecule inhibitor as an immune agonist to a PD-1 antibody, constructing a novel antibody-drug conjugate. This aims to enhance the efficacy of PD-1 antibodies while reducing the toxic side effects of systemic administration of the CBL-b small molecule inhibitor. Summary of the Invention

When trade names appear herein, they are intended to refer to the corresponding product or its active ingredient.
[0092] The terms “comprising,” “including,” and “having” are used interchangeably in this document to indicate the inclusiveness of a scheme, meaning that the scheme may contain elements other than those listed. It should also be understood that the use of “comprising,” “including,” and “having” in this document also provides for schemes “consisting of…”.
[0093] The term "linker" or "linker unit" in this article refers to a chemical structural segment that is connected at one end to an antibody unit and at the other end to a drug unit.
[0094] The term "payload" in this article refers to a biologically active substance.
[0095] The term "antibody-drug conjugate" in this article refers to a monoclonal antibody or antibody fragment linked to a biologically active drug via a stable linker unit.
[0096] The term "DAR" or "drug-antibody ratio" in this document refers to the average number of drugs linked to each antibody molecule. In the antibody-drug conjugates disclosed herein, DAR is defined by the variable "q," which can be an integer or a decimal.
[0097] In this article, "antibody" or "antibody unit" refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that can specifically bind to a target antigen, such as monoclonal antibody, polyclonal antibody, monospecific antibody, multispecific antibody (e.g., bispecific antibody), monovalent antibody, multivalent antibody, complete antibody, fragment of complete antibody, naked antibody, conjugated antibody, chimeric antibody, humanized antibody, fully human antibody, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, Fv, VHH, and scFv, etc.
[0098] The term "antibody" as used in the broadest sense herein refers to a polypeptide or combination of polypeptides containing sufficient sequence from the variable region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain and / or sufficient sequence from the variable region of the immunoglobulin light chain to specifically bind to an antigen. The term "antibody" as used herein encompasses a variety of forms and structures, as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. For example, in some embodiments, the term "antibody," "antibody unit," or "Ab" as used herein refers to an antibody that does not include the N297-linked glycosyl group of the heavy chain. The terms "full-length antibody," "intact antibody," and "complete antibody" are used interchangeably herein and refer to a structure having a substantially similar structure to that of a natural antibody. The term "antibody" as used herein includes, but is not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), monovalent antibodies, multivalent antibodies, complete antibodies, fragments of complete antibodies, naked antibodies, conjugated antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, or fully human antibodies.
[0099] The terms "antibody fragment" or "antigen-binding fragment" used herein refer to a portion of an antibody, such as F(ab')2, F(ab)2, Fab', Fab, etc., regardless of its structure. Antibody fragments bind to the same antigen recognized by the intact antibody. "Antibody fragment" or "antigen-binding fragment" also includes any synthetic or genetically engineered protein that functions like an antibody by binding to a specific antigen and forming a complex. For example, antibody fragments include isolated fragments consisting of light chain variable regions, "Fv" fragments consisting of heavy and light chain variable regions, recombinant single-chain polypeptide molecules (scFv) in which the light and heavy chain variable regions are linked by peptide linkers, and the smallest recognizing unit consisting of amino acid residues mimicking hypervariable regions. The terms "antigen-binding fragment" and "antibody fragment" are used interchangeably herein and do not possess the full structure of a complete antibody, but only contain a portion or a partial variant of the complete antibody capable of binding antigens. "Antigen-binding fragment" or "antibody fragment" as used herein includes, but is not limited to, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, Fv, VHH, and scFv.
[0100] The term "antibody" in this article also includes alternative protein scaffolds or artificial scaffolds having a transplantable complementarity-determining region (CDR) or a CDR derivative. Such scaffolds include antibody-derived scaffolds (which contain mutations introduced to, for example, stabilize the three-dimensional structure of the antibody) and fully synthetic scaffolds containing, for example, biocompatible polymers. See, for example, Korndorfer et al., 2003, Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 53(1):121-129 (2003); Roque et al., Biotechnol. Prog. 20:639-654 (2004). Such scaffolds may also include non-antibody-derived scaffolds, such as scaffold proteins known in the art for transplanting CDRs, including but not limited to tendinins, fibronectin, peptide aptamers, etc.
[0101] The term "antibody" in this article includes typical "quadruple-chain antibodies," which belong to immunoglobulins composed of two heavy chains (HC) and two light chains (LC). The heavy chain refers to a polypeptide chain consisting of a heavy chain variable region (VH), a heavy chain constant region CH1 domain, a hinge region (HR), a heavy chain constant region CH2 domain, and a heavy chain constant region CH3 domain in the N-to-C-terminal direction. Optionally, when the full-length antibody is an IgE isotype, it also includes a heavy chain constant region CH4 domain. The light chain is a polypeptide chain consisting of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL) in the N-to-C-terminal direction. Heavy chains are linked to each other and to each other with disulfide bonds, forming a "Y"-shaped structure. Because the amino acid composition and sequence of the immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region differ, their antigenicity also differs. Based on this, the "immunoglobulins" in this article can be divided into five classes, or isotypes of immunoglobulins: IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, with their corresponding heavy chains being μ, δ, γ, α, and ε chains, respectively. Within the same class of Ig, differences in the amino acid composition of the hinge region and the number and position of disulfide bonds in the heavy chain can further lead to different subclasses. For example, IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, and IgA into IgA1 and IgA2. Light chains are classified as κ or λ chains based on differences in their constant regions. Each of the five classes of Ig can possess either a κ or λ chain.
[0102] The term "antibody" in this article also includes antibodies that do not contain light chains, such as heavy-chain antibodies (HCAbs) produced by camels such as dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius), Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus), llamas (Lama glama), guanacos (Lamaguanicoe), and alpacas (Vicugna pacos), as well as immunoglobulin new antigen receptors (IgNARs) found in cartilaginous fish such as sharks.
[0103] The “antibody” in this article can be derived from any animal, including but not limited to humans and non-human animals. The non-human animals can be selected from primates, mammals, rodents and vertebrates, such as camels, llamas, guanacos, alpacas, sheep, rabbits, mice, rats or cartilaginous fish (e.g., sharks).

[0105] The diagrammatic representation of racemic or enantiomerically pure compounds in this article is derived from Maehr, J. Chem. Ed. 1985, 62:114-120. Unless otherwise specified, wedge bonds and virtual wedge bonds are used. and ) represents the absolute configuration of a solid center, using black solid bonds and imaginary bonds ( and ) indicates the relative configuration of a stereocenter (such as the cis-trans configuration of alicyclic compounds).
[0106] The term "tautomer" refers to a functional group isomer resulting from the rapid movement of an atom between two positions within a molecule. The compounds disclosed herein can exhibit tautomerism. Tautomers can exist in two or more interconvertible forms. Tautomers generally exist in equilibrium, and attempts to isolate a single tautomer typically yield a mixture whose physicochemical properties are consistent with those of the mixture of compounds. The equilibrium position depends on the intramolecular chemical characteristics. For example, in many aliphatic aldehydes and ketones such as acetaldehyde, the ketone form is dominant; while in phenols, the enol form is dominant. This disclosure encompasses all tautomeric forms of the compounds.
[0107] The term "stereoisomer" refers to isomers that are produced by different spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule, including cis-trans isomers, enantiomers and diastereomers.
[0108] The compounds disclosed herein may have asymmetric atoms such as carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and phosphorus atoms, or asymmetric double bonds; therefore, the compounds disclosed herein may exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. Specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms may be cis and trans isomers, E-type and Z-type geometric isomers, (-)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, and racemic mixtures thereof or other mixtures, such as mixtures enriched with enantiomers or diastereomers. All such isomers and mixtures thereof are within the scope of the definition of the compounds disclosed herein. Structure The double bond can be either E-configuration or Z-configuration. Alkyl groups and other substituents may contain additional asymmetric carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, or phosphorus atoms. All isomers involved in all substituents, as well as mixtures thereof, are included within the scope of the definition of compounds disclosed herein. Compounds containing asymmetric atoms disclosed herein can be isolated in optically active pure form or in racemic form. The optically active pure form can be resolved from racemic mixtures or synthesized using chiral starting materials or chiral reagents.
[0109] The term "substituted" refers to the substitution of one or more hydrogen atoms on a specific atom by a substituent, provided that the valence state of the specific atom is normal and the resulting compound is stable. When the substituent is oxo (i.e., =O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are substituted; oxo substitution does not occur on aromatic groups.
[0110] The terms “optional” or “optionally” mean that the event or condition subsequently described may or may not occur, including both the occurrence and non-occurrence of said event or condition. For example, “optionally” substituted with a halogen means that the ethyl group can be unsubstituted (CH2CH3), monosubstituted (CH2CH2F, CH2CH2Cl, etc.), polysubstituted (CHFCH2F, CH2CHF2, CHFCH2Cl, CH2CHCl2, etc.), or fully substituted (CF2CF3, CF2CCl3, CCl2CCl3, etc.). Those skilled in the art will understand that for any group containing one or more substituents, no substitution or substitution pattern that is spatially impossible and / or cannot be synthesized is introduced.
[0111] When any variable (e.g., R) a R b When a group appears more than once in the composition or structure of a compound, its definition is independent in each case. For example, if a group is surrounded by two R... b Replaced, then each R b Each has its own independent options.
[0112] Unless otherwise specified, the linking direction of the linking groups mentioned in this article is arbitrary.
[0113] C in this article m -C n , refers to having an integer number of carbon atoms in the range mn.
[0114] The term "alkyl" refers to a compound with the general formula C1. n H 2n+1 A monovalent hydrocarbon group, which can be straight-chain or branched. The term "C1-C" is used. 10 "Alkyl" refers to a straight-chain or branched saturated hydrocarbon group having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 carbon atoms.
