Abstract
Description
[0001] Cross-references to related applications This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 551,273, filed February 8, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Technology
[0002] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have applications in many areas of medical and biological research, while antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) can be used in novel therapies for cancer treatment or other therapies. Conjugation with antibodies can result in random conjugations with multiple amino acid side chains, leading to a heterogeneous mixture of conjugated antibodies. In contrast, site-specific conjugation with antibodies produces a homogeneous population of antibody-drug conjugates with consistent and / or improved pharmacological properties compared to randomly conjugated ADCs. Therefore, new methods for preparing site-specific antibody-drug conjugates remain to be developed. Summary of the Invention

For example, "isomers" include geometric double-bond cis- and trans-isomers, also known as E- and Z-isomers; R- and S-enantiomers; diastereomers, (d)-isomers and (l)-isomers, racemic mixtures thereof; and other mixtures thereof falling within the scope of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated. As used herein, the term "tautomer" is a class of isomers comprising two or more interconvertible compounds produced by at least one formal migration of hydrogen atoms and at least one change in valence (e.g., from a single bond to a double bond, from a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa).
[0042] In some embodiments, compounds of formulas (I), (II), (III), and (IV) are administered to a therapeutic subject as a pharmaceutical composition. For this purpose, in one embodiment, the compound is combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, including carriers, diluents, or adjuvants, to form a suitable composition, which is described in more detail herein.
[0043] As used herein, the term “excipient” generally refers to any pharmaceutically acceptable additive, carrier, excipient or other suitable ingredient other than the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), which is typically included for formulation and / or administration purposes.
[0044] As used herein, the term "diluent" generally refers to a reagent used as a filler to achieve the desired volume or weight of the composition. The diluent may be present in the particles of the pharmaceutical composition in the form of a single compound or a mixture of compounds. Non-limiting examples of diluents include lactose, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose acetate, glucose, mannitol, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, calcium phosphate, fructose, maltose, sorbitol, or sucrose.
[0045] As used herein, the term "excipient" generally refers to any substance or mixture of substances that, when used in conjunction with the compounds disclosed herein, enhances the efficacy or potency of the compounds disclosed herein on their target. However, when the excipient is used alone, no pharmacological effect on the same target has been observed.
[0046] Non-natural amino acids As used herein, the term "unnatural amino acid" generally refers to an amino acid that is not one of the 20 common amino acids or of pyrrolidone or selenocysteine. Other terms that may be used synonymously with "unnatural amino acid" include "non-naturally encoded amino acid," "non-naturally occurring amino acid," and their various hyphenated and unhyphenated variations.
[0047] Compared to antibodies made from 20 naturally occurring amino acids, gene-incorporated non-natural amino acids (uAAs) enable unique orthogonal coupling strategies to yield antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Therefore, uAAs offer a new paradigm for the production of next-generation ADCs. The incorporation of uAAs allows for unique orthogonal biological recognition of modified antibodies via other proteins (e.g., enzymes). This recognition can trigger selective biological responses targeting antibodies containing specific uAAs.
[0048] Engineered orthogonal aaRS-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) and their respective homologous transfer RNA (tRNA) pairs can be used for site-specific incorporation of these uAAs by expanding the genetic code to encode the uAAs disclosed herein. For example, the engineered orthogonal aaRS / tRNA pair can suppress a reused nonsense codon to directly incorporate these uAAs into specific sites of desired proteins. The novel uAAs disclosed herein, with defined chemical functional groups (i.e., carbonyl groups) for coupling with other molecules, are ideal for mutant proteins. Using these defined chemical functional groups, mutant proteins containing these uAAs can be coupled with other proteins, cytotoxic agents, polymers, nucleic acids, etc. For example, the amber stop codon (UAG) can be used for the incorporation of these uAAs. The unique aaRS / tRNA pairs that serve as mechanisms for introducing these uAAs can be developed in a variety of hosts, including Escherichia coli, yeast, insect cells, and mammalian cells.

[0087] The examples and preparation instructions provided below illustrate the compounds described herein and methods for preparing such compounds. Generally, the compounds described herein can be prepared using methods known in the general field of chemistry.
[0088] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared from commercially available materials using a variety of synthetic routes (including those described below). The starting materials of the present invention are known, commercially available, or can be synthesized by reference to or according to methods known in the art. Many starting materials can be prepared according to known methods, particularly those described in the examples. In some cases, when synthesizing starting materials, functional groups are protected with suitable protecting groups, if necessary. Functional groups can be removed according to steps known in the art.
[0089] Protection of functional groups by protecting groups, the protecting groups themselves, and their removal reactions (often referred to as "deprotection") are described in, for example, standard reference works such as J.F.W. McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press, London and New York (1973), in T.W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley, New York (1981), in The Peptides, Vol. 3, edited by E. Gross and J. Meienhofer, Academic Press, London and New York (1981).
[0090] All synthetic steps described herein can be carried out under known reaction conditions, preferably under the conditions described herein, or in the absence or presence of (typically) solvents or diluents.
[0091] This invention also covers "intermediate" compounds, including structures produced by the synthetic steps prior to obtaining the final desired compound, regardless of whether they have been isolated. Structures obtained from transient starting materials through the steps, structures obtained at any stage deviating from the method, and structures that form the starting materials under the reaction conditions are all "intermediates" covered by this invention. Furthermore, structures produced from starting materials using reactive derivatives or salts, structures produced from compounds obtainable by the method described in this invention, and structures obtained by in-situ treatment of the compounds of this invention are also within the scope of this invention.
[0092] Novel starting materials and / or intermediates, as well as methods for their preparation, are also the subject of this invention. In selected embodiments, such starting materials are used and reaction conditions are chosen to obtain the desired compound.
[0093] The starting materials of this invention are known, commercially available, or synthesized by reference to or according to methods known in the art. Many starting materials can be prepared according to known methods, and in particular, by the methods described in the examples. In some cases, when synthesizing the starting materials, the functional groups are protected with suitable protecting groups, if necessary. Protecting groups, their introduction, and removal are described above.
[0094] Unless otherwise stated, all reagents and solvents are commercially available. Unless otherwise stated, all commercially available reagents and solvents are used without purification. If necessary, some reagents and solvents are purified using standard techniques. For example, tetrahydrofuran can be purified by sodium distillation.
[0095] The reaction progress was monitored by reversed-phase HPLC and / or thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was performed using a Waters or Shimadzu 2010EV LCMS instrument with water and acetonitrile or methanol doped with 0.1% formic acid. TLC was performed on 0.25 mm plates pre-coated with silica gel 60 F254. Rapid chromatography was performed using silica gel (particle size 32-63 μm). Chromatographic purification was performed using either silica gel (m), activated basic alumina (approximately 150 mesh), or alumina (activated, basic, approximately 150 mesh). Automated chromatographic purification was performed using pre-packed silica gel or C18 columns (from RediSep and Luknova) and eluted using an ISCO Companion system. Reversed-phase purification was performed using water and acetonitrile or methanol doped with 0.1% formic acid. All final product compounds were purified using one of these two chromatographic methods. The purity and characterization of the compounds were determined by combined TLC, LC-MS, and NMR analysis. 1 H and 13 CNMR spectra were obtained at 400 MHz and 101 MHz on a Joel 400 spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported as δ (ppm), with the deuterated solvent signal as an internal reference.
[0096] The size and scale of the synthetic method will vary depending on the amount of the desired end product. It should be understood that although specific reactants and amounts are provided in the examples, those skilled in the art will recognize other alternative and equally feasible combinations of reactants that will yield the same compound. Therefore, when using general oxidizing agents, reducing agents, and solvents of various properties (aprotic, nonpolar, polar, etc.), equivalents will be known in the art and considered herein for use in this method.
[0097] The following steps describe various post-treatments following reaction termination. One post-treatment typically involves quenching the reaction to terminate any residual catalytic activity and starting reagents. An organic solvent is then typically added, and the aqueous layer is separated from the organic layer. The product is usually obtained from the organic layer, while unused reactants and other byproducts and unwanted chemicals are typically retained in the aqueous layer and discarded. Post-treatments in standard organic synthesis steps seen in the literature typically involve drying the product by exposure to a desiccant such as anhydrous Na₂SO₄ to remove any residual excess water or aqueous byproducts partially dissolved in the organic layer and to concentrate the remaining organic layer. Concentration of the product dissolved in the solvent can be achieved by any known method, such as pressure evaporation, temperature-pressure evaporation, etc. Such concentration can be achieved using standard laboratory equipment, such as rotary evaporator distillation, etc. Optionally, one or more purification steps are then performed, which may include, but are not limited to: rapid column chromatography, filtration through various media, and / or other preparative methods known in the art, and / or crystallization / recrystallization. (See, for example, Addison Ault, “Techniques and Experiments for Organic Chemistry”, 6th ed., University Science Books, Sausalito, Calif., 1998, edited by Ann B. McGuire, pp. 45–59).
[0098] General synthetic route There are many routes available for synthesizing compounds of formulas (I), (II), (III), and (IV). The following are synthetic routes for obtaining specific compounds of formulas (I), (II), (III), and (IV). The synthetic routes shown are not limiting but are examples among many feasible routes.
[0099] In one embodiment of obtaining compound (I), as shown in Scheme 1, the ketal group of compound A-1 is protected as a ketal under acid catalysis to give ester compound A-2 without affecting the stereochemistry at the α-carbon. The ester of compound A-2 is hydrolyzed under basic conditions to give the carboxylic acid in compound A-3. The unmasked carboxylic acid is converted to an activated ester compound A-4, which reacts with amine compound A-4A to give amide compound A-5. Ring A in compound A-5 is as defined in formula (I). The ketal protecting group on compound A-5 is hydrolyzed (treated with TsOH in acetone) to demask the cyclic ketone in compound A-6, and further deprotected using TFA to remove the tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group to give compound A-7 of formula (I). Alternatively, the free carboxylic acid in compound A-6 reacts with alcohol compound A-6A (R 1The reaction of OH (e.g., azirmonotriazole tetramethyluranium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) or diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) in acetonitrile) yields α-amino acid ester compound A-8. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group on compound A-8 is removed using TFA to give compound A-9 of formula (I).
[0100] Scheme 1: Synthesis of compounds A-7 and A-9 The coupling reaction between compound A-6 and compound A-6A can be carried out under different conditions, including but not limited to: (1) HATU, DIEA, dimethylformamide (DMF), at room temperature; (2) benzotriazole tetramethylureonium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), DIEA, DMF, at room temperature; (3) 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC), hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), DIEA, DMF, at room temperature; (4) benzotriazole-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP), TEA, DMF, at room temperature; and (5) benzotriazole-1-yloxytripyrrolidinylphosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP), TEA, DMF, at room temperature. Other conditions may also be used.
[0101] As shown in Scheme 1, the chirality of the amino acid moiety can be controlled by the chirality of the amine compound A-4A. The chirality of ring A can be controlled by the chirality of compound A-1. There are multiple synthetic methods for chiral α-amino acids. See (1) Y. Zou et al., Asymmetric Synthesis of Tailor-Made Amino Acids Using Chiral Ni(II) Complexes of Schiff Bases. An Update of the Recent Literature. Molecules , 2020; 25(12):2739; (2) AS Saghyan and P. Langer, Asymmetric Synthesis of Non-proteinogenic Amino Acids (Wiley-VCH, 2016); (3) C. Nájera and JM Sansano, Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of α-amino acids. Chem. Rev.2007; 107, 4584-4671; (3) Y.-P. Xue et al., Enzymatic Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Amino Acids. Chem. Soc. Rev. , 2018, 47: 1516-1561. Racemic amino acid products can be resolved by: (1) forming diastereomer salts with pure chiral acids or bases; or (2) enzymatic identification using enzymes such as aminoacylases during amide hydrolysis. Some commonly used chiral resolving agents for amino acid resolution include, but are not limited to, tartaric acid, camphor sulfonic acid, strychnine, strychnine, and various synthetic chiral amines. In general, there are also many chemical or enzymatic methods or methods for synthesizing chiral compounds by resolving racemic products.
[0102] The synthetic route shown in Scheme 1 can be modified to synthesize the uAA compounds disclosed herein, particularly those uAAs shown in Schemes 16 to 26.
[0103] Compounds A-7 and A-9 can also be synthesized via other routes. For example, as shown in Scheme 2, the primary amine of compound A-20 is coupled with a carboxylic acid compound A-21 (e.g., tetramethyluranium hexafluorophosphate azirmonazine (HATU), diisopropylethylamine in acetonitrile (DIEA)) to give amide compound A-22. Ring A in compound A-4 is as defined in formula (I). Acidification (H3PO4, toluene) removes the tert-butyl ester, and hydrogenation (H2 via Pd / C) removes the Cbz protecting group from compound A-22 to give compound A-7. Alternatively, the tert-butyl ester in compound A-21 is selectively removed in the presence of the Boc protecting group, followed by unmasked carboxylic acid and R 1 The coupling reaction between OH (compound A-6A) and the hydrogenation reaction yielded α-amino acid ester compound A-9.
[0104] Option 2: Another synthesis of compounds A-7 and A-9 Similarly, other protecting groups, different from tert-butyl ester and Cbz group, can be used to react the primary amine in compound A-20 with compound A-21. The ketone group in compound A-21 can be protected as a ketal, similar to the strategy used in Scheme 1, and then the route in Scheme 2 is completed by adding several deprotection steps. See Scheme 3 below, for example.
[0105] Option 3: Another synthesis of compounds A-7 and A-9 Example 1: Synthesis of LUX 102-6 Option 4: Step 1: LUX 102-2 1,2-Ethylene glycol (1.2 equivalents) and TsOH (0.05 equivalents) were dissolved in benzene, and the solution was stirred under reflux using a Dean-Stark apparatus to remove H₂O from the reagents. After 1.5 h, LUX 102-1 (1 equivalent) was added, and stirring was continued under reflux for another 2.5 h. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was diluted with EtOAc, poured into a saturated NaHCO₃ solution, and the two phases were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄, and filtered. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was then purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain LUX 102-2.
[0106] Step 2: LUX 102-3 LUX 102-2 (1.0 equivalent) was stirred overnight in a mixture of THF / water (10:1, v / v) and NaOH (0.05 equivalent). The mixture was quenched with aqueous NH4Cl solution, the pH was adjusted to approximately 2 with hydrochloric acid (1 M), and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to give product LUX 102-3.

The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the desired LUX 102-7.
[0110] Step 6: LUX 102-8 The mixture of LUX 102-7 in TFA / DCM (1:1, v / v) was stirred for 4 hours. The mixture was concentrated. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with aqueous NaHCO3 solution and brine, then dried, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain the desired LUX 102-8.
[0111] Other compounds of formula (I) can be prepared using a similar method. For example, according to scheme 6, another compound, LUX 103-8, was prepared. Analytical analysis / data confirmed the structure of LUX 102-8.
[0112] Option 5: The ketal group of LUX 103-1 is protected as a ketal under acid catalysis to give the ester LUX 103-2 without affecting the stereochemistry at the α-carbon. The ester of LUX 103-2 is hydrolyzed under basic conditions to give the carboxylic acid in LUX 103-3. The unmasked carboxylic acid is converted to the activated ester LUX 103-4, which reacts with the amine LUX 102-5 to give the amide LUX 103-6. The ketal protecting group on LUX 103-6 is hydrolyzed (treated with TsOH in acetone) to demask the cyclic ketone in LUX 103-7. Further deprotection is performed using TFA to remove the tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group, giving LUX 103-8 of formula (I). Analytical analysis / data confirm the structure of LUX 103-8.
