Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular relates to a polypeptide conjugate compound, the resulting polypeptide conjugate drug, and its uses. Background Technology
[0002] Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Most existing anti-tumor chemotherapy drugs suffer from drawbacks such as poor solubility, significant toxicity, and the development of drug resistance, resulting in unsatisfactory treatment outcomes. Peptide-conjugate drugs (PDCs), however, overcome the shortcomings of conventional chemotherapy drugs due to their selectivity for both autologous and tumor cells, and have become a new focus of anti-tumor drug research in recent years.
[0003] PDC comprises three components: a homing peptide, a linker, and a payload. All three components synergistically deliver chemotherapeutic drugs by targeting receptors on tumor cells, thus amplifying the therapeutic effect. Peptides offer better tissue penetration, lower manufacturing costs, and higher potency, activity, selectivity, and specificity. Furthermore, chemical modifications to peptides can improve the solubility (including water and lipid solubility) of peptide-conjugated drugs compared to the original payload.
[0004] The development of peptide-conjugated drugs faces numerous challenges and problems. Peptide molecules are easily affected by various factors in vivo, such as enzymatic hydrolysis, oxidation, and polymerization, leading to loss of activity or toxicity. Linkers, which act as bridges between peptides and drug molecules, suffer from poor plasma stability, low release rates, and insufficient pharmacokinetic properties. Therefore, this research aims to design and synthesize corresponding peptide-conjugated drugs targeting the amino functional groups in amino acids. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and technological innovation, a series of peptide-conjugated drugs with high stability, high release rates, high antitumor activity, and high solubility have been designed and synthesized.

[0101] The following discussion uses compounds a1 and a2 as examples to explore the relevant activities of PDC compounds.
[0102] Example 6: In vitro reducing release and stability study of compound a2:
[0103] Compound a2 is a PDC compound containing disulfide bonds as linkers. These disulfide bonds can be cleaved by reducing agents such as dithiothreitol (DTT) or glutathione (GSH), releasing 10,11-methylenedioxy-camptothecin. Therefore, we investigated whether compound a2 can release 10,11-methylenedioxy-camptothecin. This experiment used DTT as the reducing agent and employed HPLC analysis. The results are attached. Figure 2 As shown, a2 was stable in PBS solution without DTT, releasing almost no FL118 within 10 h. In contrast, a2 was unstable in PBS solution with 10 mM DTT; after 15 min, the release of 10,11-methylenedioxy-camptothecin was 64.37%, and complete release was achieved after 3 h. These results indicate that compound a2 is stable under normal physiological conditions, but the disulfide bonds can be cleaved under the influence of a reducing agent (DTT), increasing the rate of release of the cytotoxic molecule 10,11-methylenedioxy-camptothecin.
[0104] Example 7: In vivo antitumor activity assay of PDC compounds a1 and a2:
[0105] To verify the antitumor activity of compounds a1 and a2 in vivo, an NCI-H446 xenograft model was established. The tumor volume was increased to 100 mm². 3 Subsequently, the mice were divided into five groups: a solvent control group, an irinotecan (CPT-11) and 10,11-methylenedioxycamptothecin (FL118) positive control group, and groups a1 and a2 (see attached table). Figure 3 a1 was administered via tail vein injection at a dose of 4.17 mg / kg (equivalent to 2 mg / kg for FL118); a2 was administered via tail vein injection at a dose of 5.01 mg / kg (equivalent to 2 mg / kg for FL118); FL118 and CPT-11 were administered via tail vein injection at doses of 2 mg / kg and 100 mg / kg, respectively; all were administered twice weekly for a total of 4 weeks. Experimental results are as follows: Figure 1As shown, a2 significantly inhibited tumor growth with a tumor inhibition rate of 56.66%, which was slightly lower than that of the positive control drug irinotecan (65.24%) and higher than that of FL118 (33.14%), while the tumor inhibition rate of a1 was only 16.57%.
