Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to a linker for ligand-drug conjugates, ligand-drug conjugates prepared from the linker, and the use of the ligand-drug conjugates in the treatment of tumors or other diseases. Background Technology
[0002] The statements herein are provided for relevant background information only and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Ligand-drug conjugates, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), are a new class of targeted therapeutic drugs, primarily used in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infections. Ligand-drug conjugates generally consist of three parts: an antibody or antibody-like ligand, a small molecule drug, and a linker that conjugates the ligand and drug. The mechanism of action of ligand-drug conjugates is as follows: the antibody or antibody-like ligand specifically recognizes and binds to cell surface antigens; the resulting conjugate enters the cell via endocytosis, simultaneously carrying the small molecule drug into the cell; subsequently, the antibody is enzymatically cleaved or the linker itself breaks down, releasing the small molecule drug in the form of an appropriate active ingredient, which kills the target cell.
[0004] Linkers are the core component of ADC drug design and are crucial for achieving targeted drug release. Highly hydrophobic ADC molecules can cause various problems, affecting their efficacy and safety, specifically in several aspects: (1) Highly hydrophobic drug loading may lead to ADC molecule aggregation in vivo, thus affecting drug stability and efficacy; (2) Highly hydrophobic ADC molecules may exhibit higher clearance rates and shorter half-lives, thus affecting drug stability and efficacy; (3) Highly hydrophobic ADC molecules are more easily taken up by non-targeted tissues, increasing drug toxicity in non-targeted tissues. Therefore, one challenge in ADC design and development is finding suitable hydrophilic linkers for antibody-drug conjugation. On the one hand, by using such hydrophilic linkers to adjust the overall hydrophobicity of the molecule, higher drug loading can be achieved, and localized dense distribution of drugs (especially hydrophobic drugs) can be avoided, preventing hydrophobic aggregation and thus reducing efficacy. On the other hand, the hydrophilic linkers used must not affect the overall function and effect of the ADC molecule, that is, they must not affect the normal cleavage of the linker in vivo or the normal release of the drug at the target site.
[0005] In WO2015 / 057699A2 and WO2016 / 059377A1, the preparation of ADCs loaded with 8-36 drugs using linkers containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) moieties orthogonally linked to linkers was reported. PEG is well known for its advantages such as non-toxicity, good water solubility, non-immunogenicity, and non-antigenicity, which can improve the hydrophilicity and stability of drugs, proteins, bioconjugates, and nanoparticles, and increase drug retention time in vivo, and is often used for drug delivery and modification. However, some studies have shown that PEG may also trigger immune responses, leading to the production of anti-PEG antibodies and affecting drug efficacy. In some cases, PEG may accumulate in vivo, leading to potential toxic reactions.
[0006] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology in preparing antibody-drug conjugates, there is still a need in the field to develop new linker technologies to make the obtained conjugates more stable and more effective. Summary of the Invention

[0093] definition The terminology used herein is for descriptive purposes only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0094] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the words “comprising,” “having,” “including,” etc., should be understood as meaning “including but not limited to.” Unless otherwise stated, “comprising” includes “consisting of.”
[0095] It should be understood that the ordinal numbers “first”, “second”, “Formula 1”, “Formula 2”, “1)”, “2)”, etc. in this application are only used to distinguish different technical features, elements, components and steps, and are not intended to impose restrictions on level, order or quantity.
[0096] Ligands are any large molecule (peptide, protein, peptide, typically antibody) commonly used in ligand-drug conjugate (e.g., antibody-drug conjugate) technology, or a small molecule (such as folic acid or aptamers) that can be covalently conjugated to the linker or drug-linker disclosed herein using bioconjugation techniques (Greg T. Hermanson, Bioconjugate Techniques, 3rd Edition, 2013, Academic Press). Ligands are traditionally selected compounds based on their targeting ability. A non-exhaustive list of ligands includes: proteins, peptides, peptides, antibodies, full-length antibodies and their antigen-binding fragments, interferons, lymphokines, hormones, growth factors, vitamins, transferrin, or any other cell-binding molecule or substance. The primary class of ligands used to prepare ligand-drug conjugates is antibodies.
[0097] End-capping group: An end-capping group is any chemical group that terminates one end of a peptide bond. This group is typically covalently linked to an amino or carboxyl (or carbonyl) group at the end of the peptide chain. Exemplary end-capping groups include: alkyl, aryl, alkyl, amino, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, alkyl ester, alkyl orthoester, aryloxy, aryl ester, arylalkoxycarbonyl, tertiary amine, hydroxy, aldehyde, or glycosyl-O-alkylyl-.
[0098] "Antigen" refers to a molecule or part thereof that can be selectively recognized or bound by antigen-binding molecules (such as the antibody-drug conjugate and anti-TROP2 antibody of this application). An antigen may have one or more epitopes.
[0099] An epitope is a region on an antigen that can specifically bind to an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment. Epitopes can be formed from consecutive amino acids (linear epitopes) or contain non-consecutive amino acids (conformational epitopes). Epitopes contain at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, or 8-10 amino acids. Antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments that bind to specific epitopes can be screened using methods routine in the art, such as, but not limited to, alanine scanning, peptide cleavage analysis, epitope extraction, and chemical modification of the antigen.
[0100] The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and encompasses a wide variety of antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), full-length antibodies, and antibody fragments (or antigen-binding fragments, or antigen-binding portions), as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. For example, a natural IgG antibody is a heterotetraglycoprotein of approximately 150,000 Daltons, composed of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains bound by disulfide bonds. From the N to C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable region (VH), also called a variable heavy domain or heavy chain variable region, followed by three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Similarly, from the N to C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL), also called a variable light domain or light chain variable domain, followed by a constant light domain (light chain constant region, CL). The light chains are either κ or λ. The heavy chain is divided into γ, μ, α, δ, or ε groups, and antibody isotypes are defined as IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, some of which can be further subdivided into subclasses (isotypes), such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. In both the light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are linked by "J" regions of approximately 12 or more amino acids, while the heavy chain also includes "D" regions of approximately 10 or more amino acids. (For general information, see *Basic Immunology*, Paul, W., ed.) , 2nd ed. Raven Press, NY, 1989, Ch. 7, all cited herein for various purposes.
[0101] "Specific binding" refers to the phenomenon where an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment binds to a targeted antigen or epitope with a higher affinity than other antigens or epitopes. Typically, this is approximately 1 × 10⁻⁶. -7 A binding constant of M or smaller (KD) is considered "specific". KD can be measured using known methods such as FACS or surface plasmon resonance. "Specific binding" does not preclude cross-reactivity with homologous antigens from other species (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys). Macaca fascicularis ),chimpanzee( Pan troglodytes ) or marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ).
[0102] "Affinity" describes the strength of the non-covalent interaction between an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment and its antigen or epitope. Affinity is usually expressed by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). "kassoc" or "ka" refers to the association rate of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, while "kdis" or "kd" refers to the dissociation rate of a specific antibody-antigen interaction. "KD" is derived from the ratio of kd to ka (i.e., kd / ka) and is expressed as a molar concentration.
[0103] "Fully human antibodies" include antibodies that contain both variable and constant regions of human immunoglobulin sequences.
[0104] "Humanized antibody" refers to an antibody produced by transplanting a non-human CDR sequence into the variable region framework of a human antibody.
[0105] "Chimeric antibodies" are antibodies formed by fusing the variable region of an antibody from one species (such as a mouse or rabbit) with the constant region of an antibody from another species (such as a human).
[0106] An "antibody fragment" or "antigen-binding fragment" is different from a complete antibody molecule, but contains a portion of the complete antibody that retains the antigen-binding ability of the complete antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, single-domain antibodies, single-chain Fab (scFab), biantibodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibodies (e.g., scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
[0107] “Fab” consists of a light chain, a heavy chain CH1, and a variable region.
[0108] The “Fab” fragment is a Fab fragment with one or more cysteine residues at the C-terminus of the CH1 domain.
[0109] The “F(ab′)2 fragment” is a divalent fragment formed by connecting two Fab' fragments through a disulfide bridge in the hinge region.
[0110] "Fab'-SH" refers to a Fab' that has a free thiol group on the cysteine residue in the constant region.
[0111] A "single-chain Fab fragment" is a polypeptide composed of an antibody heavy chain variable domain (VH), an antibody constant domain 1 (CH1), an antibody light chain variable domain (VL), an antibody light chain constant domain (CL), and a linker, wherein the antibody domains and the linker have one of the following orders from the N-terminus to the C-terminus: a) VH-CH1-linker-VL-CL, b) VL-CL-linker-VH-CH1, c) VH-CL-linker-VL-CH1, or d) VL-CH1-linker-VH-CL; wherein the linker is a peptide linker. In some embodiments, the peptide linker is a polypeptide of at least 30 amino acids, preferably a polypeptide of 32-50 amino acids.
[0112] "Diabodies" have two antigen-binding sites, including a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a light chain variable domain (VL) that are linked together in the same polypeptide chain.
[0113] A “linear antibody” contains a pair of tandem Fd fragments (VH-CH1-VH-CH1) that together with a complementary light chain polypeptide form a pair of antigen-binding regions.
[0114] The “Fv fragment” contains the VL and VH domains of one arm of the antibody.
[0115] A "single-domain antibody" is an antibody fragment that contains all or part of the variable domain of the heavy chain or all or part of the variable domain of the light chain.
[0116] Single-chain antibodies (scFv) are antibodies composed of variable regions of heavy and light chains linked together by linkers.
[0117] "Fc" contains two heavy chain segments, each containing a CH2 and a CH3 domain. The two heavy chain segments are held together by disulfide bonds and through the hydrophobic interaction of the CH3 domain.
[0118] "Variable region" refers to the domain in an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that binds to the antigen.
[0119] The "complementarity-determining region," "hypervariable region," or "CDR" refers to the region within the variable region that primarily facilitates antigen binding. Both VH and VL contain four frame regions (FRs) and three complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). VH contains three CDRs: HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3; VL contains three CDRs: LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3. From N-terminus to C-terminus, each VH and VL region is named as follows: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4.
[0120] "Frame" or "FR" refers to the variable domain residues outside the hypervariable region (CDR). A variable domain FR typically consists of four FR domains: FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4. Therefore, HVR and FR sequences usually appear in VH (or VL) in the following order: FR1-H1(L1)-FR2-H2(L2)-FR3-H3(L3)-FR4.
[0121] The amino acid sequence boundaries of CDRs can be determined using various well-known schemes, such as the Kabat numbering system (see Kabat et al. (1991), “Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” 5th ed., Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD), the Chothia numbering system, and the ImMunoGenTics (IMGT) numbering system (Lefranc, MP et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol., 27, 55-77 (2003); Front Immunol. 2018 Oct 16;9:2278).
[0122] The correspondences between various numbering systems are well known to those skilled in the art. In other words, when a CDR sequence and its location in an antibody are provided under one numbering system, those skilled in the art are able to determine the corresponding CDR sequence and its location in an antibody under another numbering system. Technical solutions corresponding to different numbering systems are considered equivalent technical solutions.
[0123] The term "Fc region" or "fragment crystallizable region" is used to define the C-terminal region of an antibody heavy chain, including native and modified Fc regions. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises two identical or different subunits. In some embodiments, the Fc region of a human IgG heavy chain is defined as an amino acid residue extending from the Cys226 position or from Pro230 to its carboxyl terminus. Suitable native sequence Fc regions for the antibodies described herein include human IgG1, IgG2 (IgG2A, IgG2B), IgG3, and IgG4. Unless otherwise stated, the Fc region is numbered using the EU index. The C-terminus of the Fc region can be a full C-terminus ending with the amino acid residue PGK; or it can be a truncated C-terminus, for example, in which one or two C-terminal amino acid residues have been removed. In a preferred aspect, the C-terminus of the heavy chain is a shortened C-terminus ending with PG. Thus, in some embodiments, the composition of a complete antibody may comprise an antibody population with all K447 residues and / or G446+K447 residues removed. In some embodiments, the composition of intact antibodies may include an antibody population without the removal of K447 residues and / or G446+K447 residues. In some embodiments, the composition of intact antibodies has an antibody population consisting of a mixture of antibodies with and without K447 residues and / or G446+K447 residues.
[0124] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are molecules formed by linking an antibody (or its antigen-binding fragment) to a drug (such as a cytotoxic agent) via a linker.
[0125] The terms "drug fraction," "D," or "drug" refer to any compound having the desired biological activity and reactive functional group, which can be used to link the drug to the linker disclosed herein. The desired biological activity includes diagnosing, curing, alleviating, treating, or preventing diseases in humans or other animals. In one embodiment, the drug fraction (D) may be a cytotoxic drug or an immune enhancer (e.g., a STING agonist). Such cytotoxic drugs include microtubule inhibitors (e.g., alkaloids), DNA topoisomerase inhibitors, DNA damaging agents, antimetabolites, or antitumor antibiotics. Examples of such cytotoxic drugs include orisstatin derivatives (e.g., MMAE (Monomethyl auristatin E), MMAF (Monomethyl auristatin F)) or maytansine alkaloid derivatives (e.g., DM1, DM4, ansamitocin, maytansine, or dolastatin and their derivatives), or camptothecin analogs or DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors and their derivatives, such as eczetidine, DXD, SN38, irinotecan, irinotecan hydrochloride, camptothecin, 9-aminocamptothecin, 9-nitrocamptothecin, 10-hydroxycamptothecin, 9-chloro-10-hydroxycamptothecin, 22-hydroxyeclipticine, topotecan, letopotecan, belotecone, and homosilatecan.
[0126] "Cytotoxic drugs" are chemical molecules that disrupt cell growth within cells. In principle, cytotoxic drugs can kill cells at sufficient concentrations; however, due to their lack of specificity, while killing tumor cells, they can also cause apoptosis or death of normal cells, leading to side effects. Cytotoxic drugs include, but are not limited to, microtubule inhibitors (such as alkaloids), DNA topoisomerase inhibitors, DNA damaging agents, antimetabolites, or antitumor antibiotics.
[0127] The term "STING agonist" refers to a compound capable of binding to and activating the STING (Stimulator of interferon genes) receptor and STING signaling. For example, upon contact with the STING receptor, a STING agonist induces one or more of the following: (1) stimulation or activation of the STING receptor, (2) upregulation of the IRF3 and NFkB signaling pathways, and / or (3) induction of IFN-β and other cytokines. STING agonist activity can be measured in vitro by various assays known in the art, such as, but not limited to, measurements of cell signaling, cell proliferation, markers of immune cell activation, and cytokine production. STING agonist activity can also be measured in vivo by various assays measuring surrogate endpoints, such as, but not limited to, measurements of T cell proliferation or innate immune-related cytokine production, particularly type I interferon.
[0128] The term "glucocorticoid drugs" generally refers to naturally occurring or synthetic steroid hormones that interact with glucocorticoid receptors, as well as their derivatives or analogues. Exemplary examples include prednisolone hemisuccinate, methylprednisolone hemisuccinate, dexamethasone hemisuccinate, allogestrelone hemisuccinate, beclomethasone 21-hemisuccinate, betamethasone 21-hemisuccinate, pevidone hemisuccinate, prednisolone sodium hemisuccinate, prednisolone 21-hemisuccinate, nandrolone hemisuccinate, 19-nortestosterone hemisuccinate, deoxycorticosterone 21-hemisuccinate, dexamethasone hemisuccinate, dexamethasone hemisuccinate:semine, corticosterone hemisuccinate, and 11-deoxycorticosterone hemisuccinate.
[0129] The function of the "ligand-coupled extension unit" is to connect the ligand unit to the linker unit. In this regard, the extension unit has functional groups capable of forming bonds with the functional groups of the ligand. Useful functional groups on the ligand can be naturally present or provided by chemical manipulation, including but not limited to, thiol (-SH), amino, hydroxyl, carboxyl, anomeric hydroxyl groups of carbohydrates, and carboxyl groups. For example, the functional groups of the ligand are thiol and amino. The extension unit may contain, for example, maleimide groups, aldehydes, ketones, carbonyl groups, or haloacetamides for linking to the ligand. In some embodiments, the ligand is an antibody, and said antibody is linked to the extension unit (L1) via the sulfur atom of its cysteine residue.
[0130] The term "linker unit," "linker," or "connector" refers to a chemical structural fragment or bond that is linked at one end to a ligand (e.g., an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment) and at the other end to a drug. It may also be linked to other linkers before being attached to the drug. Linkers can be cleavable or non-cleavable. Degradable linkers are typically readily degraded in intracellular environments, such as at the target site, thereby releasing the drug from the antibody. Suitable cleavable linkers include, for example, enzymatically cleavable linkers, including peptide-containing linkers that can be cleaved by intracellular proteases (e.g., lysosomal proteases or endosomal proteases, such as cathepsins), or glycolinkers, such as glucuronidase-containing linkers. Peptide-containing linkers can include, for example, dipeptides such as valine-citrullyl, phenylalanyl-lysyl, or valine-alanyl; or tripeptides such as glycyl-phenylalanyl-glycyl; or tetrapeptides such as glycyl-glycyl-phenylalanyl-glycyl. Other suitable cleavable linkers include, for example, pH-sensitive linkers (e.g., linkers that hydrolyze at pH less than 5.5, such as hydrazone linkers) and linkers that cleave under reducing conditions (e.g., disulfide linkers). Non-cleavable linkers typically release the drug under conditions where the antibody is hydrolyzed by proteases.
[0131] Before being linked to a ligand (e.g., an antibody), the linker has a reactive group capable of reacting with certain amino acid residues, and the linking is achieved through the reactive group. Thiol-specific reactive groups are preferred and include, for example, maleimide compounds, haloamides (e.g., iodinated, brominated, or chlorinated); haloesters (e.g., iodinated, brominated, or chlorinated); halomethyl ketones (e.g., iodinated, brominated, or chlorinated); benzyl halides (e.g., iodinated, brominated, or chlorinated); vinyl sulfones; pyridyl disulfides; mercury derivatives such as 3,6-di-(mercurymethyl)dioxane, where the counterion is acetate, chloride, or nitrate; and polymethylene dimethyl sulfide thiosulfonate. The linker may include, for example, maleimide linked to the antibody via thiosuccinimide.
[0132] In this context, the term "peptide residue" refers to a short peptide formed by the linear linkage of amino acid residues through amide bonds.
[0133] The term "amino acid" refers to an organic compound whose molecular structure contains both an amino group and a carboxyl group, with both groups directly attached to a -CH- structure. When amino acids combine with each other, a water molecule is lost due to the participation of some groups in the formation of an amide bond; therefore, the amino acid unit in a peptide is called an "amino acid residue." In this application, the amino acid can be an "L-configuration" amino acid or a "D-configuration" amino acid. For clarity, when any chemical structure listed in this application shows an L-configuration amino acid, D-configuration amino acids are also included. This also applies to peptides formed from multiple amino acids, where each amino acid residue can be independently selected from L-amino acids and D-amino acids.
[0134] The term "side chain" refers to all atoms of an amino acid residue that are not included in the "main chain" portion of the amino acid residue. The "main chain" refers to a structure formed by a series of peptide bonds connecting amino acids, wherein the α-nitrogen atom of an α-amino acid, the β-nitrogen atom of a β-amino acid, the γ-nitrogen atom of a γ-amino acid residue, the δ-nitrogen atom of a δ-amino acid, the ε-nitrogen atom of an ε-amino acid, or the ω-nitrogen atom of an ω-amino acid is attached to the C1 carbonyl atom of the preceding amino acid.
[0135] The term "reactive functional group" refers to any chemical moiety that is reactive to covalently bondable groups, and is reactive under defined reaction conditions compared to an inert group. Exemplary reactive functional groups include carboxylic acids; primary amines; secondary amines; tertiary amines; hydroxyl groups; halogens; activated esters such as N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, perfluorinated esters, nitrobenzene esters, azido-benzotriazole and benzotriazole activated esters, acylureas; alkynyl groups; alkenyl groups; azides; isocyanates; isothiocyanates; aldehydes; thiols; reactive moieties such as maleimides, halogenated maleimides, halogenated acetyl groups, pyridyl disulfides; thiols; acrylates; methanesulfonates; toluenesulfonates; trifluoromethanesulfonates; hydroxylamines; chlorosulfonyl groups; and so on.
[0136] The term "PAB" refers to the para-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl group, which undergoes spontaneous 1,6-elimination upon cleavage by a protease, such as cathepsin B, thereby releasing the drug or payload. Its structure is as follows: , where # and * represent connection points with the rest of the molecule.
[0137] The term "covalent bond" refers to the connection between two atoms of two separate parts via a covalent bond. Different types of bonds are formed depending on the type of reactive functional groups involved. For example, the connection between an amine-containing part and a carboxylic acid-containing part results in an amide bond (-C(O)-N-, or -NC(O)-), the connection between an isothiocyanate-containing part and an amine-containing part results in a thiourea bond (-NC(S)-N-), and the connection between a part containing an unsaturated carbon atom and a part containing a thiol group (-C-SH) results in a thioether bond (-CSC). Table 1 below lists common covalent bonds in the ADC field.

[0146] The term "isomer" includes structural isomers and stereoisomers. Structural isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different sequences of atoms or groups. Stereoisomers are molecules with the same molecular formula and atomic sequence but different spatial arrangements of atoms. Stereoisomers include cis-trans isomers, optical isomers, and trans-blocking isomers. Alternatively, stereoisomers can be classified into enantiomers and diastereomers. Enantiomers are mirror images of each other and cannot be superimposed; their configurations at the chiral centers are different, thus allowing plane-polarized light to be deflected by equal angles in different directions. Diastereomers refer to all stereoisomers that are not enantiomers, i.e., optical isomers that are not mirror images of each other, including meso compounds, cis-trans isomers, conformational isomers, and stereoisomers with one or more chiral centers but not mirror images of each other. The isomers described herein include any single enantiomer or diastereomer, and mixtures thereof in any proportion, including racemic mixtures.

[0186] The term "drug loading" refers to the average amount of drug conjugated to each ligand in a ligand-drug conjugate population, and can also be expressed as the ratio of the amount of drug to the amount of ligand (e.g., antibody). Drug loading can range from 1 to 20, preferably 1 to 10 drugs (e.g., cytotoxic agents), per ligand (e.g., antibody). In embodiments disclosed herein, drug loading is expressed as n, which can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or the average of any two values (which can be integers or decimals). n is preferably 1-10, more preferably 3-8, or an integer or decimal of 1-5. Drug loading can be determined using conventional methods such as UV / visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA assays, CE-SDS (monoclonal antibody molecular size variant assay), and HPLC characterization. While the drug-to-ligand ratio has a precise value for a particular conjugate molecule, it should be understood that when used to describe samples containing many molecules, this value will often be an average. In some implementations, the drug loading rate (DAR) is between about 1 and about 6, and typically about 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, and 6.0. In some implementations, 'approximately x' DAR means that the measured DAR value is within 20% of x.
[0187] The loading of ligand-drug conjugates can be controlled using the following non-limiting methods, including: (1) Controlling the molar ratio of drug linker fragments to ligands, (2) Control the reaction time and temperature. (3) Choose different reaction reagents.
[0188] The antibodies or antigen-binding fragments disclosed herein can be generated using recombinant methods.
[0189] In one specific implementation, host cells containing the expression vector are cultured under conditions suitable for antibody expression, and the antibody is recovered (optionally purified) from the host cells (or their culture).
[0190] "Pharmaceutical composition" means a mixture containing one or more antibody-drug conjugates disclosed herein and other chemical components, such as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, buffers or excipients.
[0191] "Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, buffers, or excipients" refer to components in a pharmaceutical preparation that are different from the active ingredient and are non-toxic to the subjects. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, buffers, or excipients include, but are not limited to, buffers, excipients, stabilizers, or preservatives.
[0192] "Pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic salt of a compound (e.g., a drug, a drug-linker, or a ligand-drug conjugate). The compound may contain at least one amino group and is therefore capable of forming an acid addition salt with the amino group. Exemplary salts include, but are not limited to: sulfates, trifluoroacetates, citrates, acetates, oxalates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, nitrates, bisulfates, phosphates, acid phosphates, isonicotinates, lactates, salicylates, acid citrates, tartrates, oleates, tannins, pantothenates, bitartrates, ascorbic acid salts, succinates, maleates, gentianates, fumarates, gluconates, glucurons, glycosides, formates, benzoates, glutamates, methanesulfonates, ethanesulfonates, benzenesulfonates, p-toluenesulfonates, and pyrates (i.e., 1,1'-methylenebis(2-hydroxy-3-naphthylcarbamate)). Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may contain another molecule of, for example, acetate ions, succinate ions, or other counterions. The counterion can be any organic or inorganic component that stabilizes the charge on the parent compound. Furthermore, pharmaceutically acceptable salts may have more than one charged atom in their structure. An example where multiple charged atoms are part of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have multiple counterions. Therefore, pharmaceutically acceptable salts can have one or more charged atoms and / or one or more counterions.
[0193] "Subject" or "individual" refers to an animal, preferably a mammal. Depending on the specific implementation plan, the subject is a mammal, including, for example, a camel, horse, cow, pig, sheep, cat, dog, rabbit, rat, guinea pig, mouse, or primate (e.g., human). In a specific implementation plan, the subject is a human.
[0194] In the specific implementation plan, the subjects are individuals who are susceptible to, suspected of having, or already have the disease.
[0195] "Treatment" means providing a subject with the antibody-drug conjugate or a pharmaceutical composition thereof disclosed herein. The subject has symptoms of one or more diseases. Typically, the antibody-drug conjugate is administered to the treated subject or a group of subjects in an amount that effectively relieves disease symptoms.
[0196] In specific implementation schemes, those skilled in the art can determine the selection of an effective dose based on consideration of a variety of factors (e.g., through clinical trials), including the disease to be treated, the symptoms involved, the route of administration, the severity of the disease, the subject's weight, the subject's immune status, and other factors known to those skilled in the art.
[0197] The effective dosage in a specific implementation can be obtained from dose-response curves derived from animal model testing systems, and can be determined based on the physician's judgment and the individual subject's condition. As an example, the amount of drug required for a single administration to a subject can be conveniently obtained by calculating the product of the subject's weight and the dose per unit body weight required for that single administration. For instance, in the drug preparation process, it is generally assumed that an adult's weight is 50-70 kg, and the dosage can initially be determined using the equivalent dose conversion relationship between experimental animals and human body weight doses. For example, it can be determined according to guidelines issued by drug regulatory agencies such as the SFDA and FDA. In some implementations, the dosage for humans and mice can be converted using a conversion factor of 0.0026 based on the body surface area of humans and mice.
[0198] The active ingredient (e.g., antibody-drug conjugate) described herein may be administered in a single dose or divided into many smaller unit doses administered at regular time intervals. It should be understood that the dosage, duration, and intervals of treatment are functions of the disease being treated and can be inferred from animal or clinical trial data. Administration may include a single dose or two or more doses at appropriate time intervals. Intervals between consecutive doses may be 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes, 60 minutes, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 14 hours, 16 hours, 18 hours, 20 hours, 22 hours, 24 hours, one and a half days, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, or 12 months.

[0356] Example 4. Synthesis of ADC The disclosed antibody was reacted with a drug-linker molecule (PL) to prepare an ADC drug, and the DAR value of the ADC was determined.
[0357] In simple terms, antibodies are treated with reducing agents (such as tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) or dithiothreitol (DTT)) to reduce some or all of the cysteine disulfide residues, forming highly nucleophilic cysteine thiol groups (-CH2SH).

[0358] DAR value determination method: The DAR values of the ADCs disclosed herein were analyzed using hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC). The ADCs were separated in the column using a MabPac HIC-Butyl analytical column (4.6 × 100 mm, 5 μm, catalog number 088558, Thermo Fisher, USA).

[0380] The results showed that ADC-2 and ADC-3 completed the coupling reaction after 1 hour at room temperature; however, 29% of ADC-1 remained incompletely reacted after 1 hour at room temperature; and 6% of ADC-1 remained incompletely reacted after 4 hours at room temperature. The coupling reaction was only fully completed after overnight reaction at room temperature. This clearly demonstrates that the coupling speed between linkers containing PA and HyPA side chains and antibodies is significantly faster than that between linkers without PA and HyPA side chains.
[0381] Test Example 2. Detection of hydrophilicity and aggregate content of ADC 2.1 Hydrophilicity The hydrophilicity of the ADC disclosed herein was analyzed using hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC). The ADC was separated in the column using a MabPac HIC-Butyl analytical column (4.6 × 100 mm, 5 μm, catalog number 088558, ThermoFisher, USA).
[0382] The chromatographic conditions are as follows: Mobile phase A is a 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) containing 1.5 M ammonium sulfate, and mobile phase B is a 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) containing 25% acetonitrile.
[0383] Gradient elution: 0-2 min 15% buffer B, 2-12 min 15%-85% buffer B, 12-15 min 85% buffer B, 15-18 min 85%-15% buffer B, 28-30 min 15% buffer B.
[0384] The flow rate and temperature were set to 0.5 mL / min and 25 °C.
[0385] The elution time of the ADC was detected at 280nm. The earlier the elution, the higher the hydrophilicity of the ADC and the more stable the ADC is in vivo.
[0386] 2.2 Aggregates The aggregate content of the ADCs disclosed herein was analyzed using size exclusion chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC). The ADCs were separated in the column using a Biozen dSEC-2 analytical column (4.6 × 150 mm, 3 μm, catalog number 00F-4788-E0, Phenomenex, USA).
[0387] The chromatographic conditions are as follows: The mobile phase was 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) containing 10% acetonitrile. The flow rate and temperature were set to 0.35 mL / min and 25 °C, respectively.
[0388] The ADC elution time was detected at 280 nm. The ADC aggregates, with their relatively large molecular weight, elute before the main peak. The aggregate content was calculated. The results are shown in Table 7.
[0389] Table 7. Hydrophilicity and Aggregates of ADCs
[0390] The results showed that ADC-2 and ADC-3 with PA or HyPA side chains had the fewest aggregates, while ADC-5 and ADC-4 with hydrophilic polysarcosine side chains both contained a certain amount of aggregates (4-5%). ADC-1, without hydrophilic side chains, had the highest hydrophobicity and the highest aggregate content, exceeding 10%. This clearly demonstrates that using PA hydrophilic side chains can significantly reduce the formation of ADC aggregates. Moreover, the aggregate reduction effect of PA hydrophilic side chain linkers is better than that of polysarcosine side chain linkers.
[0391] Test Example 3. Pharmacokinetic Detection of ADC ADC-1 and ADC-2 were intravenously injected at a dose of 5 mpk into Sprague Dawley rats (purchased from Charles River, train code 001), with two rats in each group. Whole blood was collected via jugular vein at 5 minutes, 1 hour, 12 hours, day 1, day 2, day 7, day 14, and day 21 after ADC injection. After clotting for 30 minutes, serum was obtained by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 30 minutes at 4°C. Total antibodies and ADC levels in the serum were measured using ELISA.
[0392] When detecting total antibodies, the ADC specifically binds to the coated hTrop2 antigen (purchased from Acrobiosystems Cat# TR2-H5223). Then, Peroxidase-conjugated AffiniPure Goat anti-Human IgG (purchased from Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories, INC Cat# 109-035-190) is added to specifically bind the antibody portion of the ADC. Finally, a substrate is added to perform a colorimetric reaction. The color intensity is positively correlated with the ADC concentration within a certain range.
[0393] In the ADC detection, the ADC specifically binds to the coated hTrop2 antigen (purchased from Acrobiosystems, Cat# TR2-H5223). Then, mouse anti-Exatecan / DXD antibody (purchased from Acrobiosystems, Cat# DXD-M684) is added to specifically bind to the sample containing Exatecan. Next, Peroxidase-conjugated AffiniPure Goat anti-Mouse IgG (purchased from Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories, INC, Cat# 115-035-164) is added to bind to the mouse Exatecan antibody. Finally, the substrate is added for a colorimetric reaction. The color intensity is positively correlated with the ADC concentration within a certain range. The results are shown in Table 8. Figure 2A and Figure 2B .
[0394] Table 8. Half-life of ADCs
[0395] The results showed that the total antibody t1 / 2 of ADC-2 was 8.1 days, higher than that of ADC-1 (6.64 days). The ADC half-life showed a similar trend, with the t1 / 2 of ADC-2 being 7.4 days, higher than that of ADC-1 (7.0 days). These results indicate that ADCs with hydrophilic PA side chains have a longer in vivo half-life than ADCs without hydrophilic chains.
[0396] Test Example 4: Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) Killing Experiment on Tumor Cells This experiment used CellTiterGlo2 (Promega) to evaluate cell death induced by drugs conjugated with antibodies using different linkers.
[0397] The tumor cell lines BxPC-3 (human pancreatic cancer cells, CRL-1687, ATCC) and HCC1954 (human breast cancer cells, CRL-2338, ATCC) used in the experiment were both purchased from ATCC. The culture medium for both BxPC-3 and HCC1954 cells, as well as the test medium, was Gibco RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 100 units of penicillin-0.1 mg / mL streptomycin. The tumor cells were cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator.
[0398] The experimental procedure is as follows: Logarithmic growth phase BxPC-3 and HCC1954 tumor cells were dissociated with 0.25% Trypsin, centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant was removed, and the cells were resuspended in fresh culture medium. Cell counts were performed twice, the cells were mixed, and the cell density was adjusted to 4-10 × 10⁻⁶ cells / cm². 4 Cells / mL were seeded at 50 μL / well in 96-well white transparent substrate cell culture plates. After 24 hours of culture, antibody-drug conjugates diluted with different concentrations of culture medium were added at 50 μL / well, for a final volume of 100 μL / well. Each concentration was replicated, and corresponding solvent control wells were included. After culturing at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 144 hours, 100 μL of CellTiterGlo2 was added to each well, and the mixture was placed on a shaker at room temperature for 15 minutes. The luminescence value was then measured. After exporting the data, the IC50 of the test drug against various tumor cells was calculated using Prism10. 50 Value (nM), IC 50 See Table 9 for a summary.
[0399] Table 9. Inhibition IC50 of Trop2 antibody-drug conjugates on the proliferation of various tumor cells 50 Value (nM)
[0400] The results showed that the cytotoxic activity of the Trop2 antibody-drug conjugates using different linkers disclosed in this study was comparable against BxPC-3 and HCC1954 tumor cells, with no significant difference. This demonstrates that using linkers with hydrophilic PA side chains does not affect the overall function and cellular activity of the ADC molecule.
[0401] Table 9-1. IC50 of Trop2 antibody-drug conjugate on the inhibitory effect of HCC1954 cell proliferation. 50 Value (nM)
[0402] The results showed that the Trop2 antibody-drug conjugates ADC29, ADC2, ADC30, and ADC31, with 2–12 PA linkers, exhibited comparable cytotoxic activity against HCC1954 tumor cells to those of ADC1, which lacked hydrophilic side chains. This demonstrates that using linkers with hydrophilic PA side chains does not affect the overall function and cellular activity of the ADC molecule.
[0403] Meanwhile, the antibody-drug conjugates ADC32 and ADC33, containing PPA and PAA side chains, exhibited comparable killing activity against HCC1954 tumor cells, and were comparable to those of the antibody-drug conjugate ADC1, which lacked hydrophilic side chains. This indicates that the addition of PPA and PAA hydrophilic side chains does not affect the overall function and cellular activity of the ADC molecule.
[0404] Test Example 5. Effects of Linkers of Different Lengths and Structures on the Hydrophilicity and Aggregate Content of ADCs 5.1 Coupling Reaction Add 2 mM EDTA to antibody RS7 dissolved in PBS at pH 8.0, and reduce the antibody with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (molar ratio of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride to antibody 10:1). After incubation at 37°C for approximately 120 minutes, add drug-linker PL29:DiBr-VA-PAB(PA2)-Exatecan, PL30:DiBr-VA-PAB(PA8)-Exatecan, PL31:DiBr-VA-PAB(PA12)-Exatecan, PL32:DiBr-VA-PAB(PPA5)-Exatecan, or PL33:DiBr-VA-PAB(PAA5)-Exatecan to the reduced antibody (molar ratio of drug-linker to antibody 6:1), react at room temperature for 1 hour, and then sample for analysis using hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC) to determine the completeness of the coupling reaction. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was eluted and purified with G25 resin and desalted. The mixture was then filtered through a 0.2 μm filter under sterile conditions to obtain ADC-30, ADC-31, ADC-32, ADC-33 and ADC-34, which were then frozen and stored.
[0405] 5.2 Detection of hydrophilicity and aggregate content of ADC The hydrophilicity of the ADC disclosed herein was analyzed using hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC), and the aggregate content of the ADC disclosed herein was analyzed using size exclusion chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC). The results are shown in Table 10.
[0406] Table 10. Hydrophilicity and Aggregates of ADCs
[0407] The results showed that the peak times of ADC-30, ADC-31, ADC-32, and ADC-33, which have 2 to 12 PA and 5 PPA or PAA side chains, were similar to those of ADC-2 with 5 PA side chains, and the aggregate content was around 2.0%. This fully demonstrates that using PA hydrophilic side chains of different lengths, or PPA and PAA side chains composed of proline and alanine, can significantly improve the hydrophilicity of ADC molecules and reduce the formation of ADC aggregates.
[0408] Test Example 6. Effect of PA linkers on the hydrophilicity and aggregate content of ADCs conjugated with different antibodies and toxins. 6.1 Coupling Reaction Add 2 mM EDTA to the antibody Trastusumab dissolved in PBS at pH 8.0, and reduce the antibody with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (the molar ratio of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride to antibody is 10:1). After incubation at 37°C for approximately 120 minutes, the drug-linker PL7:DiBr-VA-PAB-MMAE, PL8:DiBr-VA-PAB(PA5)-MMAE, PL9:DiBr-VA-PAB(HyPA5)-MMAE, PL17:DiBr-VA-PAB(PA2)-MMAE, PL18:DiBr-VA-PAB(PA8)-MMAE, PL19:DiBr-VA-PAB(PA12)-MMAE, PL20:DiBr-VA-PAB(PPA5)-MMAE, or PL21:DiBr-VA-PAB(PAA5)-MMAE were added to the reduced antibody (the molar ratio of drug linker to antibody was 6:1). After reacting at room temperature for 1 hour, the reaction was analyzed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC) to determine the degree of completion of the coupling reaction. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was eluted and purified with G25 resin and desalted. The mixture was then filtered through a 0.2 μm filter under sterile conditions to obtain ADC-7, ADC-8, ADC-9, ADC-17, ADC-18, ADC-19, ADC-20, and ADC-21, which were then frozen and stored.
[0409] 6.2 Detection of hydrophilicity and aggregate content of ADC The hydrophilicity of the ADC was analyzed using hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC), and the aggregate content of the ADC was analyzed using size exclusion chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC). The results are shown in Table 11.
[0410] Table 11. Hydrophilicity and Aggregates of ADCs
[0411] The results showed that the peak times of ADCs with 2 to 12 PA and 5 PPA or PAA side chains were significantly earlier than those of ADC-7 without side chains, indicating that the use of PA hydrophilic side chains in ADCs can significantly improve the hydrophilicity of ADC molecules.
[0412] Test Example 7. Killing Experiment of Antibody-Drug Conjugate on Tumor Cells HT29 This experiment used CellTiterGlo2 (Promega) to evaluate cell death induced by drugs conjugated with Trastuzumab antibody and linked by different linkers to small molecule MMAE.
[0413] The tumor cell line HT29 (human colon cancer cells, HTB-38, ATCC) used in the experiment was purchased from ATCC. Both the culture medium for HT29 tumor cells and the test medium were Gibco RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 100 units of penicillin-0.1 mg / mL streptomycin. Tumor cells were cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator.
[0414] The experimental procedure is as follows: HT29 tumor cells in logarithmic growth phase were dissociated with 0.25% Trypsin, centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant was removed, and the cells were resuspended in fresh culture medium. Cell counts were performed twice, the cells were mixed, and the cell density was adjusted to 4-10 × 10⁻⁶ cells / cm². 4 CellTiterGlo2 was seeded at 50 μL / well in 96-well white transparent substrate cell culture plates. After 24 hours of culture, different concentrations of medium diluted with the Her2 antibody-drug conjugate were added at 50 μL / well, for a final volume of 100 μL / well. Each concentration was replicated, and corresponding solvent control wells were included. After culturing at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 96 hours, 100 μL of CellTiterGlo2 was added to each well, and the mixture was placed on a fixed-track shaker at room temperature for 15 minutes. The luminescence value was measured, and the data were exported and used to calculate the IC50 of the test drug against various tumor cells using Prism10. 50 Value (nM), IC 50 See Table 12 for a summary.
[0415] Table 12. Inhibition IC50 of Trop2 antibody-drug conjugate on HT29 tumor cell proliferation 50 Value (nM)
[0416] The results showed that Her2 antibody-drug conjugates ADC17, ADC8, ADC18, and ADC19, with 2–12 PA linkers, exhibited superior cytotoxic activity against HT29 tumor cells compared to ADC7, which lacked hydrophilic side chains. The more PA repeats, the higher the activity. This demonstrates that using linkers with hydrophilic PA side chains can enhance the overall function and cellular activity of ADC molecules.
[0417] Meanwhile, the antibody-drug conjugates ADC20, ADC21, and ADC9, which contain PPA, PAA, and HyPA side chains, exhibited comparable cytotoxic activity against HT29 tumor cells, and all showed superior activity compared to the antibody-drug conjugate ADC7, which lacked hydrophilic side chains. This indicates that the addition of hydrophilic side chains can enhance the overall function and cellular activity of ADC molecules.
[0418] Test Example 8. Effect of PA linkers on the hydrophilicity and aggregate content of ADCs conjugated with different antibodies and non-toxic drugs. 8.1 Coupling Reaction 2 mM EDTA was added to the antibody Pertuzumab dissolved in PBS at pH 8.0, and the antibody was reduced with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (molar ratio of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride to antibody was 10:1). After incubation at 37°C for approximately 120 minutes, drug-linkers PL12:DiBr-VA-PAB-Pz-Sting3, PL13:DiBr-VA-PAB(PA5)-Pz-Sting3, and PL14:DiBr-VA-PAB(HyPA5)-Pz-Sting3 were added to the reduced antibody (molar ratio of drug-linker to antibody was 6:1). PL12 was reacted at room temperature for 4 hours, and the other linkers were reacted at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was then analyzed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC) to determine the completeness of the coupling reaction. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was eluted and purified with G25 resin and desalted. The mixture was then filtered through a 0.2 μm filter under sterile conditions to obtain ADC-12, ADC-13, and ADC-14, which were then frozen and stored.
[0419] 8.2 Detection of hydrophilicity and aggregate content of ADC The hydrophilicity of ADC-12, ADC-13, and ADC-14 was analyzed using hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC). The aggregate content of ADC-12, ADC-13, and ADC-14 was analyzed using size exclusion chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC). The results are shown in Table 13.
[0420] Table 13. Hydrophilicity and Aggregates of ADCs
[0421] The results showed that the conjugation of the linker-drug load containing PA and HyPA side chains to the antibody was completed within 1 hour, significantly faster than that of the linker-drug load without PA and HyPA side chains (completed within 4 hours). The aggregates of ADC-13 and ADC-14 with PA and HyPA side chains were reduced, while the aggregates of ADC-12 without hydrophilic side chains were the highest, reaching 7.6%. This indicates that using PA and HyPA hydrophilic side chains in ADCs can accelerate the conjugation reaction and significantly reduce the formation of ADC aggregates.
[0422] Test Example 9. Immune Cell Activation Assay with STING Agonists and Antibody-Drug Conjugates The tumor cell lines used in the experiment were HCC1954 (human breast cancer cells, CRL-2338, ATCC) which highly expressed the Her2 antigen, and HT29 (human colon cancer cells, HTB-38, ATCC) which lowly expressed the Her2 antigen. The Invivogen THP1-Dual-KI-hSTING-R232 reporter cell line and QUANTI-Luc™ 4 Lucia / Gaussia reagent were used to evaluate the activation of the IRF pathway in immune cells by STING agonists and their antibody-drug conjugates. Tumor cells HCC1954 and HT29 were cultured in Gibco RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The reporter cell line was cultured in Gibco RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 25 mM HEPES, 100 µg / mL Normocin™, 0.1 mg / mL streptomycin, 100 units of penicillin, 10 µg / mL methimazole, and 100 µg / mL bleomycin in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C.
[0423] The experimental procedure is as follows: Tumor cells at 2×10 3 -5×10 3 Seed cells at a density of 50 μL / well in a 96-well plate and cultured for 24 h. Then add 5 × 10⁶ reporter cells. 4 25 μL of antibody-drug conjugate diluted with different concentrations of culture medium per well, for a final volume of 100 μL per well. Each concentration was replicated, and corresponding solvent control wells were included. After incubation at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 h, 10 μL of supernatant was collected per well of the 96-well plate, and 15 μL of QUANTI-Luc™ 4 Lucia / Gaussia reagent was added per well. The luminescence value was measured, and the EC50 of the antibody-drug conjugate for immune cell activation was calculated. 50 Value (nM). The results are shown in Table 14.
[0424] Table 14. Effects of antibody-drug conjugates on EC activation of immune cells 50 Value (nM)
[0425] The results showed that antibody-drug conjugates can effectively activate the IRF pathway in reporter cells after antigen-antibody binding, thus more effectively activating immune cells. ADC-12, along with ADC-13 and ADC-14 (which have hydrophilic side chains), showed comparable activity in activating the STING pathway; this indicates that the hydrophilic side chains do not affect the activity of the antibody-drug conjugates, and all can effectively activate the STING pathway in effector cells through target cells.
[0426] Test Example 10. IL-4R ADC Activity Test 10.1 Affinity detection of antibody-drug conjugates and monoclonal antibodies with human IL-4Rα antigen protein Affinity assays were performed using a Gator affinity analyzer (Gator Bio). First, the anti-His probe (GatorBio, Cat: 160009) was immersed in PBS for 300 seconds to establish a baseline signal. Then, the probe was loaded with 5 µg / mL human IL-4Rα protein (Sino Biological, Cat: 10402-H08H), pre-diluted in PBS, for approximately 180 seconds, followed by a 30-second PBS wash. Next, the bound IL-4Rα was interacted with 400 nM to 6.25 nM IL-4R-ADC (ADC-40) or BR206 antibody for 180 seconds, followed by a 300-second dissociation step. Binding and dissociation curves were analyzed using GatorPrime software (Gator Bio, version 1.0), and binding kinetic parameters (koff, kon, and KD) were calculated. The results are shown in Table 15.
[0427] The results showed that the binding activity of IL-4R-ADC (ADC-40) with hydrophilic side chains to human IL-4Rα antigen protein was comparable to that of naked anti-BR206.
[0428] Table 15. Affinity of IL-4R antibody or ADC-40 to human IL-4Rα protein
[0429] 10.2 ADC-induced FKBP5 expression in PBMCs Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy donors were seeded into 96-well plates (Costar, Corning, Cat: 3595) at a density of 200,000 cells per well. The cells were incubated with BR206 monoclonal antibody or IL-4R-ADC (ADC-40) (initial concentration 800 nM, serially diluted 1:4) at 37°C for 24 hours. After culture, the PBMCs were washed with PBS and stained for viable cells using the LIVE / DEAD™ Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit (Thermo Fisher, Cat: L34957). Surface staining was performed using the following markers: CD3 (BioLegend, Cat: 300408), CD14 (BioLegend, Cat: 325608), CD16 (BioLegend, Cat: 302008), and CD19 (BioLegend, Cat: 302228). For intracellular staining, cells were fixed at 4°C for 45 min using True-Nuclear™ Transcription Factor Fixation Buffer (BioLegend, Cat: 424401). After fixation, cells were washed twice with True-Nuclear™ Permeabilization Buffer (BioLegend, Cat: 424402) and resuspended in the same buffer. Cells were then incubated at room temperature in the dark for 45 min with Alexa Fluor 647-labeled anti-FKBP51 antibody (Abcam, Cat: ab228086) or isotype control antibody (Abcam, Cat: ab199093). After incubation, cells were washed twice again with buffer containing permeabilizing agent and resuspended in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer (PBS containing 0.5% BSA). Fluorescence signals were detected using a flow cytometer (Agilent Technologies, NovoCyte), and data analysis was performed using FlowJo software (FlowJo, LLC). Unstained samples and isotype control samples were used to determine background fluorescence and the location of negative cell populations. Results are as follows: Figure 3A and 3B As shown.
[0430] The results showed that IL-4R-ADC (ADC-40) could induce FKBP5 expression in monocytes and B cells, indicating that the drug load of IL-4R-ADC could effectively activate the transduction of downstream hormone receptor signals.
