Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceuticals. Specifically, this invention relates to a linker-drug molecule, an antibody-drug conjugate, and their uses, as well as their use in the prevention and / or treatment of diseases related to abnormal cellular activity, including but not limited to their use in the prevention and / or treatment of cancer. Background Technology
[0002] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a promising type of targeted therapy. They consist of three main parts: an antibody (Ab) that selectively recognizes tumor cell surface antigens, a small molecule cytotoxic drug (Payload) that kills tumor cells, and a linker that links the Payload to the Ab. The antibody acts as a carrier to deliver the small molecule cytotoxic drug to the target cells.
[0003] Antibody-associated drug (ADC) drugs enter cells via endocytosis after binding to tumor cell surface antigens. Then, small-molecule cytotoxic drugs dissociate from the ADC to exert their biological functions. Therefore, ADCs combine the potent killing effect of traditional small-molecule cytotoxic drugs with the tumor-targeting properties of antibodies. Currently, several ADC drugs are used to treat liquid tumors and solid tumors. For example, POLIVY (Polatuzumab vedotin-piiq, CD79b-MMAE) is approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R / RDLBCL); PADCEV (Enfortumab vedotin-ejfv, Nectin4-MMAE) is approved by the FDA for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC); Enhertu (Fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki, Her2-Dxd) is used to treat breast cancer, etc.; and Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy, TROP2-SN38) is used to treat patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
[0004] In typical antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), the choice of antibody and drug depends on the specific disease, significantly impacting the safety and efficacy of the ADC. Factors determining the efficacy of ADCs include the stability and breakage sensitivity of the linker unit, and the activation of internalization, transport, and cytotoxicity at the cell surface. For example, T... DM1 has a much lower cytotoxicity than some anthracycline antibiotics, but it is prone to premature degradation and release toxins before being internalized by antigen-binding proteins, causing side effects. In addition, the drug / antibody ratio obtained by conjugating it with antibodies is low and the distribution varies greatly, making it difficult to precisely control its efficacy and safety (e.g., patent applications WO2012061590A1 and WO201139721A1).
[0005] Therefore, there is still a great clinical need and application value in finding linkers with high stability and good water solubility, and then developing new ADC drugs with excellent permeability, metabolic stability and good cytotoxicity. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Detailed Description of the Invention Definitions and general terms Certain embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated by the accompanying structural and chemical formulas. The invention is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, all of which are included within the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. Those skilled in the art will recognize that many similar or equivalent methods and materials can be used to practice the invention. The invention is by no means limited to the methods and materials described herein. In the event that one or more of the incorporated documents, patents, and similar materials differ from or contradict this application (including, but not limited to, defined terminology, application of terminology, described techniques, etc.), this application shall prevail.
[0032] It should be further appreciated that certain features of the invention, for clarity, have been described in multiple independent embodiments, but may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention, for brevity, have been described in a single embodiment, but may also be provided individually or in any suitable sub-combination.
[0033] Unless otherwise stated, all technical terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. All patents and publications related to this invention are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0034] The term "antibody" "Drug conjugate" refers to a ligand linked to a biologically active drug via a stable linker unit. In this disclosure, "antibody" is used. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are monoclonal antibodies or antibody fragments linked to biologically active toxic drugs via stable linker units.
[0035] The term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that specifically binds to a target, such as a protein, polypeptide, peptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid, or a combination thereof, via at least one antigen recognition site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. It is denoted by Ab. This encompasses complete polyclonal antibodies, complete monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments (e.g., Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments), single-chain Fv (scFv) mutants, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies, antibodies with two complementary sites, etc.), multivalent antibodies (e.g., trivalent, tetravalent, etc. antibodies with three, four, or more antigen-binding sites), chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, human antibodies, fusion proteins containing the antigen-determining portion of an antibody, and any other modified immunoglobulin molecule containing an antigen recognition site, provided that the antibody exhibits the desired biological activity. The antigenicity of immunoglobulins varies depending on the amino acid composition and sequence of the constant region of the heavy chain. Accordingly, immunoglobulins can be classified into five classes, or isotypes of immunoglobulins, namely 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, based on differences in the amino acid composition of its hinge region and the number and position of disulfide bonds in its heavy chain, it can be further divided into different subclasses; for example, IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Light chains are classified into κ or λ chains based on differences in their constant regions. Each of the five classes of Ig can have either a κ or λ chain. The antibodies described in this invention are preferably specific antibodies against cell surface antigens on target cells. Non-limiting examples include the following antibodies: anti-HER2 (ErbB2) antibody, anti-EGFR antibody, and anti-B7 antibody. H3 antibody, anti-c Met antibody, anti-HER3 (ErbB3) antibody, anti-HER4 (ErbB4) antibody, anti-CD20 antibody, anti-CD22 antibody, anti-CD30 antibody, anti-CD33 antibody, anti-CD44 antibody, anti-CD56 antibody, anti-CD70 antibody, anti-CD73 antibody, anti-CD105 antibody, anti-CEA antibody, anti-A33 antibody, anti-Cripto antibody, anti-EphA2 antibody, anti-G250 antibody, anti-MUGI antibody, anti-Lewis Y antibody, anti-VEGFR antibody, anti-GPNMB antibody, anti-Integrin antibody, anti-PSMA antibody, anti-Tenascin C antibody, anti-SLC44A4 antibody, anti-CD79 antibody, anti-TROP 2. Antibody, anti-CD79B antibody, anti-Mesothelin antibody, or their antigen-binding fragments. In some embodiments, the antibody is selected from trastuzumab, pertuzumab, nimotuzumab (trade name: Taixinsheng), enoblituzumab, emibetuzumab, Inotuzumab, and Vitin. Pinatuzumab, Brentuximab, Gemtuzumab, Bivatuzumab, Lorvotuzumab, cBR96, and Glematumamab.
[0036] The term "heavy chain variable region (VH)" refers to the amino-terminal variable region domain of the immunoglobulin heavy chain.
[0037] The term "light chain variable region (VL)" refers to the amino-terminal variable region domain of the immunoglobulin light chain.
[0038] The term "CDR (Complementarity Determinant Region)" refers to the amino acid sequence that defines the binding affinity and specificity of the Fv region of an antibody. This is because antibody specificity depends on the structural complementarity between the antibody binding site and the antigenic determinant. The antibody binding site consists primarily of residues from the so-called hypervariable region or complementarity determinant (CDR), with relatively conserved framework regions (FRs) scattered throughout other regions. The light chain (L) and heavy chain (H) of an antibody each have three CDRs, named Light Chain Complementarity Determinant Region 1 (LCDR1), Light Chain Complementarity Determinant Region 2 (LCDR2), Light Chain Complementarity Determinant Region 3 (LCDR3), and Heavy Chain Complementarity Determinant Region 1 (HCDR1), Heavy Chain Complementarity Determinant Region 2 (HCDR2), Heavy Chain Complementarity Determinant Region 3 (HCDR3), respectively. Therefore, the antigen-binding site of a conventional antibody comprises six CDRs, containing a set of CDRs from each of the heavy chain and light chain variable regions. Each VH and VL consists of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4.
[0039] The term "antigen-binding fragment" refers to an antibody fragment such as Fv, Fab, F(ab')2, or Fab', or any fragment that should be able to increase its half-life through chemical modification or incorporation into liposomes. This chemical modification includes, for example, the addition of a poly(alkylene) glycol such as polyethylene glycol ("PEGylated," or "PEGylated") (the PEGylated fragment referred to as Fv-PEG, scFv-PEG, Fab-PEG, F(ab')2-PEG, or Fab'-PEG) ("PEG" stands for polyethylene glycol), which has CD73 binding activity. Preferably, the functional fragment will consist of or contain a portion of the variable region of the heavy or light chain of its source antibody, the portion of which is sufficient to retain the same binding specificity and sufficient affinity as its source antibody. Such a functional fragment will contain at least 5 amino acids, preferably 10, 15, 25, 50, and 100 consecutive amino acids from the sequence of its source antibody. Examples of antigen-binding fragments include, but are not limited to: (1) Fab fragments, which may be monovalent fragments having VL-CL chains and VH-CH1 chains; (2) F(ab')2 fragments, which may be divalent fragments having two Fab' fragments connected by disulfide bridges (i.e., Fab' dimers) in the hinge region; and (3) Fv fragments with VL and VH domains on a single arm of antibody.
[0040] The term "drug" refers to a cytotoxic drug or immunomodulator. Cytotoxic drugs are chemical molecules that strongly disrupt the normal growth of tumor cells. In principle, cytotoxic drugs can kill tumor cells at sufficiently high concentrations; however, due to their lack of specificity, they can also cause apoptosis of normal cells while killing tumor cells, leading to serious side effects. The term includes toxins, such as small molecule toxins or enzyme-active toxins derived from bacteria, fungi, plants, or animals; radioactive isotopes (e.g., radioactive isotopes of At211, I131, I125, Y90, Re186, Re188, Sm153, Bi212, P32, and Lu); toxic drugs; chemotherapeutic drugs; antibiotics; and ribolysins. Immunomodulators are inhibitors of immune checkpoint molecules. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the drug is designated as D and belongs to the category of immunomodulators, particularly TLR8 agonists.
[0041] The terms “linker,” “linker unit,” “connector unit,” “connector,” or “linker fragment” refer to a chemical structural segment or bond that is connected to a ligand at one end and to a drug at the other end. It can also be connected to other linkers before being connected to a drug.
[0042] The term "DAR" or "drug loading" typically refers to the average number of cytotoxic drugs loaded onto each ligand, or it can be expressed as the ratio of cytotoxic drug to antibody. The range of cytotoxic drug loading can be 0-12 cytotoxic drugs linked to each ligand (Ab), for example, 1-10 cytotoxic drugs. In embodiments of this application, the drug loading is expressed as t, which can be an average of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, as exemplarily. The drug loading of each ADC molecule after the coupling reaction can be identified using conventional methods such as UV / Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA assays, and HPLC characterization.
[0043] A joint may include one or more joint components. An exemplary joint component includes 6... Maleiminohexanoyl (MC), Maleiminopropionyl (MP), Valine Citrulline (Val Cit or vitamin C), alanine Phenylalanine (ala) phe), p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PAB), and those derived from coupling with linker reagents: N Succinimide 4 (2 Pyridylthiovalerate (SPP), N Succinimide 4 (N (maleiminomethyl)cyclohexane 1. Carboxylic acid ester (SMCC, also referred to as MCC in this invention) and N Succinimide (4) iodine Acetylaminobenzoate (SIAB). The linker may include stretching units, spacer units, amino acid units, and extension units. It can be synthesized by methods known in the art, such as US2005. As described in 0238649A1, the adapter can be a "cleavable adapter" that facilitates drug release into the cell. For example, acid-labile adapters (e.g., hydrazones), protease-sensitive adapters (e.g., peptidase-sensitive adapters), light-labile adapters, dimethyl adapters, or disulfide-containing adapters can be used (Chari et al., Cancer Research 52:127). 131 (1992); U.S. Patent No. 5,208,020).
[0044] The term "antigen-binding fragment" refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that maintain its ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that fragments of full-length antibodies can be used for antigen-binding function. Examples of binding fragments included in "antigen-binding fragments" include (i) Fab fragments, monovalent fragments consisting of VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains; (ii) F(ab′)2 fragments, bivalent fragments comprising two Fab fragments connected by disulfide bridges on the hinge region; (iii) Fd fragments consisting of VH and CH1 domains; (iv) Fv fragments consisting of VH and VL domains of a single arm of the antibody; and (v) single-domain or dAb fragments (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341:544). 546), which consists of the VH domain; and (vi) a separate complementarity-determining region (CDR) or (vii) a combination of two or more separate CDRs connected by a synthetic linker. Furthermore, although the two domains VL and VH of the Fv fragment are encoded by separate genes, they can be connected by a synthetic linker using recombination methods, thereby enabling the production of a single protein chain (called a single-stranded Fv (scFv)) in which the VL and VH regions pair to form a monovalent molecule; see, for example, Bird et al. (1988) Science 242: 423. 426; and Huston et al. (1988) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 85: 5879 5883). Such single-chain antibodies are also intended to be included in the term "antigen-binding fragment" of antibody. Such antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and are screened for functionality in the same manner as for intact antibodies. The antigen-binding portion can be generated by recombinant DNA technology or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact immunoglobulins. Antibodies can be different isotypes of antibodies, such as IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 subtypes), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM antibodies.
[0045] As used in this invention, the term "test subject" refers to an animal. Typically, the animal is a mammal. Test subjects also include, for example, primates (e.g., humans, males or females), cattle, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, fish, birds, etc. In some embodiments, the test subject is a primate. In other embodiments, the test subject is a human.
[0046] As used in this invention, the term "patient" refers to a person (including adults and children) or other animal. In some embodiments, "patient" refers to a person.
[0047] The term "comprising" is an open-ended expression, meaning it includes the contents specified in this invention, but does not exclude other aspects.
[0048] "Stereoisomers" refer to compounds that have the same chemical structure but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms or groups. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformational isomers (rotational isomers), geometrical isomers (cis / trans isomers), trans-blocking isomers, and so on. Unless otherwise stated, all stereoisomers or mixtures of stereoisomers of the structural formulas described in this invention are within the scope of this invention. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, the structural formulas of the compounds described in this invention include enriched isotopes of one or more different atoms.
[0049] The stereochemical definitions and rules used in this invention generally follow those of S.P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984), McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds,” John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994.
[0050] Any mixture of stereoisomers obtained can be separated into pure or substantially pure geometric isomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers based on differences in the physicochemical properties of the components, for example, by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization.
[0051] The terms "tautomer" or "tautomer form" refer to structural isomers with different energies that can interconvert through a low energy barrier. If tautomerism is possible (e.g., in solution), chemical equilibrium can be achieved in the tautomer. For example, proton tautomers (also called prototropic tautomers) involve interconversions via proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers involve interconversions via the rearrangement of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomers is the interconversion between pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one. Another example of tautomerism is phenol-keto tautomerism.

[0199] Prep-HPLC conditions: Feromon C18 column, 50 mm 250mm 10 μm, mobile phase A: 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution, mobile phase B: acetonitrile, flow rate: 100.0 ml / min, detection wavelength: 260 nm, eluted isocratically with phase A: phase B - 55: 45 for 20 min.
[0200] Example 5: Phage screening technology and flow cytometry screening of MUC1 monoclonal antibodies A gene encoding the C-terminus and SEA domain of the MUC1 protein (120 amino acids) was designed using the NCBI database and constructed into a mammalian eukaryotic expression system. The resulting protein, MUC1-P120, containing the C-terminus and SEA domain, was expressed and used for mouse immunization and screening of monoclonal antibodies from a mouse immune library. After four intramuscular injections into Balb / C mice, serum antibody titers were measured by ELISA, reaching 10... 5 Level. Lymphocyte mRNA was extracted from mouse spleens and then reverse transcribed to obtain corresponding cDNA. Using the corresponding cDNA as a template, the VH and VK sequences of the antibody were amplified. Gene fragments were linked using a linker to establish an immune library. Phages in the immune library were panned using the MUC1-P120 protein. After three rounds of panning, monoclonal antibody phages that could bind to the MUC1-P120 protein were screened using ELISA. The binding results of candidate phage 82 with MUC1-P120 are shown in Table 2 (1H7 is the positive control scfv antibody). The ELISA results showed that both the positive antibody 1H7 and the screened phage 82 could specifically bind to the MUC1 protein.

[0202] Example 6: Antibody Expression and Purification A series of antibody expression vectors were constructed using molecular cloning methods and recombinantly expressed in the 293F expression system. The nucleotide sequences encoding the light and heavy chains of a series of monoclonal antibodies were obtained by extracting plasmids from panning phage cultures. Heavy and light chain expression plasmids were constructed separately, and finally co-transformed to obtain Fab-form monoclonal antibodies.
[0203] Translational-level analysis was performed on a series of antibodies. Cell culture media were purified using a Protein A chromatography column, and absorption peaks were collected for mass spectrometry analysis. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the molecular weights of the Fab antibodies were approximately 150 kDa, consistent with the theoretical molecular weight, indicating a dimeric form. Simultaneously, the collected samples were analyzed by 10% SDS-PAGE electrophoresis after reduction and non-reduction. Reduced SDS-PAGE electrophoresis showed bands of approximately 50 kDa and 25 kDa, while non-reduced SDS-PAGE electrophoresis showed a single band at approximately 150 kDa, consistent with theoretical band sizes. The purified samples were dialyzed overnight at 4°C using 0.02 M PBS buffer (pH 7.4).
[0204] Example 7: The binding specificity of the antibody to the antigen described in this invention The binding of HEK23T cells stably overexpressing human MUC1 to the candidate antibody was detected by flow cytometry. The positive control antibody 1H7 is derived from patent CN111201240A. 1.5 10 5 Cells were resuspended in 96-well plates and incubated with different concentrations of antibody at 4°C for 2 h. The cells were then washed twice in PBS. PE-Goat anti-human IgG Fc (Jackson Immuno Research) was diluted 1:500 and incubated at 4°C for 30 min to detect the binding of candidate antibodies. The cells were then washed three times in PBS and analyzed on FACS (Beckman). The results are shown in Table 3. The experimental results indicate that the candidate antibody has a higher affinity (top value) for HEK23T cells overexpressing human MUC1 than the positive antibody 1H7.

[0206] The binding of candidate antibodies to NCI-H1650 tumor cells endogenously expressing human MUC1 was detected using flow cytometry. The positive control antibody 1H7 is derived from patent CN111201240A. 1.5 105 cells were resuspended in 96-well plates and incubated with different concentrations of antibody at 4°C for 2 h. The cells were then washed twice in PBS. PE-Goat anti-human IgG Fc (Jackson Immuno Research) was diluted 1:500 and incubated at 4°C for 30 min to detect the binding of candidate antibodies. The cells were then washed three times in PBS and analyzed on FACS (Beckman). The results are shown in Table 4. The experimental results indicate that the candidate antibody has a better affinity and TOP value than the positive antibody 1H7 for NCI-H1650 tumor cells overexpressing human MUC1.

[0208] The binding of antibodies to the cross-species recombinant cynomolgus monkey and human MUC1 was detected using ELISA. Recombinant cynomolgus monkey and human MUC1 proteins were purchased from Acro. Antigen at 1 μg / ml was coated onto ELISA plates and incubated overnight at 4°C. Non-specific binding sites were then blocked with 3% BSA for 1 h at RT, followed by incubation with 3 μg / ml antibody for 1 h. The bound mAbs were detected using HRP-goat anti-human antibody, followed by washing, addition of TMB substrate (Yunqiao Biotechnology), and readings at 450 nm. The experimental results are shown in Table 5. The results indicate that the candidate antibodies showed better affinity for human MUC1 protein than the positive antibody 1H7; all MUC1 candidate antibodies bound to the monkey antigen, while the 1H7 antibody did not show any binding to the monkey antigen.
[0209] Table 5. Binding of candidate antibodies to human and monkey-derived MUC1 proteins.
[0210] The binding of antibodies to human and monkey MUC1 antigens was confirmed using biomembrane interference technology. An AHC2 (octet) sensor chip was activated in SD buffer (PBS solution, 0.1% BSA, 0.02% Tween), and antibodies (5 μg / ml) were immobilized on the sensor chip. Binding to different concentrations of human and monkey MUC1 was detected, and the association and dissociation constants were calculated using ForteBio Data Analysis software (version 9.0). The results are shown in Table 6. As can be seen from Table 6, compared with 1H7, the screened MUC1 candidate antibodies exhibited stronger affinity for both human and monkey MUC1 proteins.

[0218] Biological tests Example A: Detection of the cytotoxic activity of the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC molecule) of the present invention against cells in vitro. Tumor cells (human skin squamous cell carcinoma cell line A431, human non-small cell lung cancer cell line HCC827, human non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H1650, human lung adenocarcinoma cell line NCI-H1975, human gastric cancer cell line NUGC4, and human pancreatic cancer cell line HPAC) in the logarithmic growth phase were digested with trypsin, and cell counts and viability were recorded. Cells were resuspended in complete culture medium and added to 96-well plates at 3000 cells / well / 90 μL, and incubated overnight at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The next day, after cell attachment, the ADC of this embodiment was diluted with complete culture medium, and 10 μL was added to each well. The final ADC concentration started at 500 nM and was 3-fold diluted (9 concentration gradients). The cells were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 5 days. The inhibitory effect of ADCs on tumor cell growth was evaluated using the Promega CellTiter-Glo chemiluminescence immunoassay (CELISA) on cell viability in the CellTiter-Glo 2.0 Assay (Promega, G9243). Relative light units (RLU) were read from cell culture plates using a microplate reader. The IC50 was calculated using Graphpad Prism 8.0 software to analyze the experimental data. 50 The results are shown in Table A.
[0219] Table A: Inhibitory IC50 of the ADC of the present invention on a series of tumor cells 50 (nM)
[0220] Test results: The ADC molecule of this invention has a strong tumor cell killing effect, and the tumor killing ability is positively correlated with the expression abundance of the target.
[0221] Example B: Pharmacodynamic experiment of the ADC molecule of the present invention in a human gastric cancer NUGC4 xenograft model. Human gastric cancer cells NUGC4 in logarithmic growth phase were harvested, centrifuged, and counted. The cell density was then adjusted to 5.0 g / cm³ using serum-free RPMI-1640 medium and Matrigel mixture (1:1 ratio). 10 7 / mL. Inject 0.1 mL / mouse subcutaneously into the back of Babl / c-nude mice. Wait until the average tumor volume reaches 200 mm. 3and randomly grouped for administration. The corresponding ADC was intravenously administered once a week for 2 weeks. Starting from day 0 of administration, tumor diameter was measured and the body weight of mice was weighed twice a week, for calculating the tumor volume and the trend of body weight change. The relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) or relative tumor proliferation rate T / C (%) was calculated based on the results on the 19th day after administration for efficacy evaluation, and safety evaluation was performed based on animal body weight changes and mortality. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. When there are three or more groups, if the data of each group are in normal distribution, one-way ANOVA test is used for inter-group comparison, LSD is used for inter-group comparison with homogeneous variance, and Dunnett's T3 is used for inter-group comparison with heterogeneous variance. P < 0.5 indicates statistically significant difference.
[0222] T / C % is the relative tumor proliferation rate, that is, the percentage value of the relative tumor volume of the treatment group and the control group at a certain time point. T and C are the relative tumor volume (RTV) of the treatment group and the control group at a specific time point, respectively.
[0223] The calculation formula is as follows: T / C % = T RTV / C RTV ×100% (T RTV : mean RTV of the treatment group; C RTV : mean RTV of the control group; RTV=V t / / V0, where V0 is the tumor volume of the animal at the time of grouping, and V t is the mean tumor volume at a certain measurement, and T RTV and C RTV use data from the same day).
[0224] The calculation method of TGI (%) is as follows: (1) If V t >V0, relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI)% = [1-T / C] ×100%; (2) If V t <V0, relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI)% = [1-(V t - V0) / V0] ×100%.
[0225] The experimental results are shown in the attached Figure 1 , on the 19th day after grouped administration, the mean tumor volume of the control group mice was 1789.82mm 3 ; the mean tumor volume of the MUC1-ADC-01 4.53mpk group was 24.18mm 3The T / C value was 1.35%, and the TGI value was 188.78%; the mean tumor volume in the EGFR-ADC-05 4.53mpk group was 73.91 mm. 3 The T / C value was 4.12%, and the TGI value was 165.67%.
[0226] The ADC molecules of the present invention can effectively kill human gastric cancer NUGC4 cells in vivo, producing an anti-tumor effect, and the ADC molecules of the present invention are well tolerated in mice.
[0227] Example C: Pharmacodynamic experiment of the ADC molecule of the present invention in a human non-small cell lung cancer NCI-H1975 xenograft model. Logarithmic growth phase human non-small cell lung cancer cells (NCI-H1975) were harvested, centrifuged, and counted. The cell density was then adjusted to 5.0 g / cm³ using serum-free RPMI-1640 medium and Matrigel mixture (1:1 ratio). 10 7 / mL. Inject 0.1 mL / mouse subcutaneously into the back of Babl / c-nude mice. Wait until the average tumor volume reaches 200 mm. 3 Mice were randomly assigned to groups and administered the corresponding ADC intravenously for 2 weeks, once a week. Starting from day 0 of administration, tumor diameter and body weight were measured twice a week to calculate the trend of tumor volume and body weight changes. The relative tumor inhibition rate (TGI) or relative tumor proliferation rate (T / C) (%) was calculated based on the results on day 18 after administration to evaluate efficacy. Safety was evaluated based on changes in body weight and mortality. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. When there were three or more groups and the data were normally distributed, one-way ANOVA was used for comparisons between groups. LSD was used for comparisons between groups with homogeneous variances, and Dunnett's T3 was used for comparisons between groups with unequal variances. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
[0228] T / C % represents the relative tumor proliferation rate, which is the percentage of tumor volume in the treatment group and the control group at a specific time point. T and C are the relative tumor volumes (RTV) in the treatment group and the control group at a specific time point, respectively.
[0229] The calculation formula is as follows: T / C % = T RTV / C RTV 100% (T RTV : Mean RTV in the treatment group; C RTV : Average RTV of the control group; RTV=V t / V0, where V0 is the tumor volume of the animal at the time of grouping, V tis the average tumor volume at a certain measurement, T RTV and C RTV take data from the same day).
[0230] The calculation method of TGI (%) is as follows: (1) If V t >V0, relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI)% = [1-T / C] 100%; (2) If V t <V0, relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI)% = [1-(V t - V0) / V0] 100%.
[0231] The experimental results are shown in the attached Figure 2 as follows: on day 18 after grouped administration, the average tumor volume of mice in the control group was 1036.43 mm 3 ; the average tumor volume of the MUC1-ADC-01 2.5mpk group was 308.61 mm 3 , the T / C value was 29.53%, and the TGI value was 70.50%; the average tumor volume of the EGFR-ADC-05 2.5mpk group was 403.49 mm 3 , the T / C value was 38.93%, and the TGI value was 61.60%.
[0232] The ADC molecules of the present invention can effectively kill human lung cancer NCI-H1975 cells in vivo to produce an anti-tumor effect, and the ADC molecules of the present invention have good tolerance in mice.
[0233] Example D: Detection of plasma stability of the ADC molecules of the present invention in human, monkey and mouse plasma The ADC molecule to be tested was diluted to 100 μg / mL with human, monkey and mouse plasma. The prepared drug-containing plasma was placed in an incubator at 37°C for incubation. On day 0, day 3, day 5, day 9, day 15, day 22 and day 25, 100 μL of plasma from each species was taken out and added to a 1.5 mL EP tube, then 300 μL of internal standard (propranolol) working solution was added for precipitation. After centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 5 min, 120 μL of the supernatant was taken, 120 μL of ultrapure water was added and mixed uniformly for LC-MS / MS analysis to detect the concentration of free payload and calculate the payload release rate. The experimental results are shown in Table B. According to the experimental results in Table B, after the ADC molecules of the present invention were incubated in plasma of different species for 25 days, the payload release rate did not exceed 1.2%. In particular, no payload was detected in the plasma of humans and monkeys for MUC1-ADC-01, indicating that the ADC molecules of the present invention maintain good plasma stability in the plasma of different species. The results are shown in Table B.
