Description
[0001] POLYMERS WITH STEROIDS OR VITAMINS BACKGROUND Field Embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to polymeric biologically active compounds having steroids or vitamins, and methods for their preparation. Description of the Related Art Targeted drug conjugates, unlike, e.g., chemotherapy, deliver drugs to target cells, with little or no off-target activity. Typically, targeted drug conjugates comprise a targeting molecule that is linked to a biologically active payload or drug. By combining the unique targeting capability with the therapeutic effectiveness of a biologically active drug (or moiety), conjugates can deliver the drug only to the intended target and minimize potential side effects. Antibody- drug conjugates (ADCs) are one class of targeted drug conjugates that are of particular interest for treatments of various diseases. Although ADCs for cancer treatment have been getting more popularity, other uses of ADCs are in its infancy. Thus, there exists a need in the art for developing potent, targeting drug conjugates having a high therapeutic index beyond oncology and methods of preparing the same. The present disclosure fulfills this need and provides further related advantages.

In another aspect, therefore, the disclosure provides a method for visually detecting a biomolecule, comprising: (a) providing a biological system with a visually detectable biomolecule comprising the compound of structure (I) linked to a biomolecule; and (b) detecting the biomolecule by its visible properties. For purposes of the disclosure, the phrase “detecting the biomolecule by its visible properties” means that the biomolecule, without illumination or chemical or enzymatic activation, is observed with the naked eye, or with the aid of an optically based detection device, including, without limitation, absorption spectrophotometers, transmission light microscopes, digital cameras and scanners. A densitometer may be used to quantify the amount of visually detectable biomolecule present. For example, the relative quantity of the biomolecule in two samples can be determined by measuring relative optical density. If the stoichiometry of dye molecules per biomolecule is known, and the extinction coefficient of the dye molecule is known, then the absolute concentration of the biomolecule can also be determined from a measurement of optical density. As used herein, the term “biological system” is used to refer to any solution or mixture comprising one or more biomolecules in addition to the visually detectable biomolecule. Nonlimiting examples of such biological systems include cells, cell extracts, tissue samples, electrophoretic gels, assay mixtures, and hybridization reaction mixtures. “Solid support” or “solid resin” refers to any solid substrate known in the art for solid- phase support of molecules, for example a “microparticle” refers to any of a number of small particles useful for attachment to compounds of the disclosure, including, but not limited to, glass beads, magnetic beads, polymeric beads, nonpolymeric beads, and the like.

[0003] wherein Rais H or a solid support. In some specific embodiments, R2has one of the following structures: Certain embodiments of compounds of structure (I), (II), or (III) can be prepared according to solid-phase synthetic methods analogous to those known in the art for preparation of oligonucleotides. Accordingly, in some embodiments, L′ is a linkage to a solid support, a solid support residue or a nucleoside. Solid supports comprising an activated deoxythymidine (dT) group are readily available, and in some embodiments can be employed as starting material for preparation of compounds of structure (I), (II), or (III). Accordingly, in some specific embodiments, R1has the following structure: One of skill in the art will understand that the dT group depicted above is included for ease of synthesis and economic efficiencies only, and is not required. Other solid supports can be used and would result in a different nucleoside or solid support residue being present on L′, or the nucleoside or solid support residue can be removed or modified post synthesis. In some embodiments, the analyte molecule is a nucleic acid, amino acid or a polymer thereof. In some embodiments, the analyte molecule is an enzyme, receptor, receptor ligand, antibody, glycoprotein, aptamer or prion.

In still other embodiments, Q is, at each occurrence, independently a moiety comprising a reactive group capable of forming a covalent bond with an analyte molecule or a solid support. In other embodiments, Q is, at each occurrence, independently a moiety comprising a reactive group capable of forming a covalent bond with a complementary reactive group Q′. For example, in some embodiments, Q′ is present on a further compound of structure (I), (II), or (III) (e.g., in the R1or R2position), and Q and Q′ comprise complementary reactive groups such that reaction of the compound of structure (I), (II), or (III) and the further compound of structure (I), (II), or (III) results in covalently bound dimer of the compound of structure (I), (II), or (III). Multimer compounds of structure (I), (II), or (III) can also be prepared in an analogous manner and are included within the scope of embodiments of the disclosure. The type of Q group and connectivity of the Q group to the remainder of the compound of structure (I), (II), or (III) is not limited, provided that Q comprises a moiety having appropriate reactivity for forming the desired bond. In certain embodiments, Q is a moiety which is not susceptible to hydrolysis under aqueous conditions, but is sufficiently reactive to form a bond with a corresponding group on an analyte molecule or solid support (e.g., an amine, azide or alkyne). Certain embodiments of compounds of structure (I), (II), or (III) comprise Q groups commonly employed in the field of bioconjugation. For example in some embodiments, Q comprises a nucleophilic reactive group, an electrophilic reactive group or a cycloaddition reactive group. In some more specific embodiments, Q comprises a sulfhydryl, disulfide, activated ester, isothiocyanate, azide, alkyne, alkene, diene, dienophile, acid halide, sulfonyl halide, phosphine, ^-haloamide, biotin, amino or maleimide functional group. In some embodiments, the activated ester is an N-succinimide ester, imidoester or polyfluorophenyl ester. In other embodiments, the alkyne is an alkyl azide or acyl azide. The Q groups can be conveniently provided in protected form to increase storage stability or other desired properties, and then the protecting group removed at the appropriate time for conjugation with, for example, a targeting moiety or analyte. Accordingly, Q groups include “protected forms” of a reactive group, including any of the reactive groups described above and in the Table 1 below. A “protected form” of Q refers to a moiety having lower reactivity under predetermined reaction conditions relative to Q, but which can be converted to Q under conditions, which preferably do not degrade or react with other portions of the compound of structure (I), (II), or (III). One of skill in the art can derive appropriate protected forms of Q based on the particular Q and desired end use and storage conditions. For example, when Q is SH, a protected form of Q includes a disulfide, which can be reduced to reveal the SH moiety using commonly known techniques and reagents. Exemplary Q moieties are provided in Table I below. Table 1. Exemplary Q Moieties
[0004] It should be noted that in some embodiments, wherein Q is SH, the SH moiety will tend to form disulfide bonds with another sulfhydryl group, for example on another compound of structure (I), (II), or (III). Accordingly, some embodiments include compounds of structure (I), (II), or (III), which are in the form of disulfide dimers, the disulfide bond being derived from SH Q groups. In other embodiments, the Q moiety is conveniently masked (e.g., protected) as a disulfide moiety, which can later be reduced to provide an activated Q moiety for binding to a desired analyte molecule or targeting moiety.

[0035] A REPRESENTATIVE DNA SYNTHESIS CYCLE Oligomerization is initiated, typically, through the removal of a protecting group (e.g., a dimethoxytrityl group, DMTr) to reveal a free –OH (hydroxyl) group (Step 1, DETRITYLATION). In a subsequent coupling step, a phosphoramidite monomer is introduced that reacts with the free OH group making a new covalent bond to phosphorus, with concomitant loss of the diisopropyl amine group (Step 2, COUPLING). The resultant, phosphite triester is oxidized (e.g., with I2 and pyridine) to the more stable phosphate ester (Step 3, OXIDATION) and a capping step renders unreactive any remaining free OH groups (Step 4, CAPPING). The new product, phosphate oligomer, contains a DMTr protected OH group that can be deprotected to reinitiate the synthetic cycle so another phosphoramidite monomer can be appended to the oligomer. Customization occurs at step 2 through the choice of phosphoramidite monomer. The nature of L (i.e., a linker group) and M (i.e., a chemotherapeutic agent) in the scheme above are selected such that a desired compound of Structure (I), (III), or (IV) is synthesized. M can be optionally absent to incorporate desired spacing between M moieties. A person of ordinary skill in the art can select multiple monomer types to arrive at compounds of the disclosure containing multiple therapeutic agents and / or other moieties (e.g., fluorophores or chromophores) with concurrent variability in linker groups. Several steroid phosphoramidites and vitamin phosphoramidites are commercially available and can be used in the above DNA synthesis cycle. This includes cholesterol phosphoramidite and tocopherol / tocotrienol phosphoramidite as shown below: EXAMPLES General Methods Mass spectral analysis is performed on a Waters / Micromass Quattro micro MS / MS system (in MS only mode) using MassLynx 4.1 acquisition software. Mobile phase used for LC / MS on dyes is 100 mM 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), 8.6 mM triethylamine (TEA), pH 8. Phosphoramidites and precursor molecules are also analyzed using a Waters Acquity UHPLC system with a 2.1 mm × 50 mm Acquity BEH-C18 column held at 45 °C, employing an acetonitrile / water mobile phase gradient. Molecular weights for monomer intermediates are obtained using tropylium cation infusion enhanced ionization on a Waters / Micromass Quattro micro MS / MS system (in MS only mode). Excitation and emission profiles experiments are recorded on a Cary Eclipse spectra photometer. All reactions are carried out in oven dried glassware under a nitrogen atmosphere unless otherwise stated. Commercially available DNA synthesis reagents are purchased from Glen Research (Sterling, VA). Anhydrous pyridine, toluene, dichloromethane, diisopropylethyl amine, triethylamine, acetic acid, pyridine, and THF are purchased from Aldrich. All other chemicals are purchase from Aldrich or TCI and are used as is with no additional purification. EXAMPLE 1 SYNTHESIS OF COMPOUND I-1 Stock solution preparation Borate buffer prepared at 250 mM, pH 10 Fluorscein-NHS solution prepared at 350 mM (300 mg in 1.35 mL DMSO: acetonitrile at 25:75) Solid Phase Synthesis Compound I-1 is prepared on the DNA synthesizer via solid support using standard DNA synthesis techniques (i.e., DMT protected 2-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite). The polymer is removed from the solid support with ammonium hydroxide and lyophilized to a paste. 250 mg aliquots are reconstituted in water. A small aliquot is removed and serial dilutions are prepared in 100 mM NaCO3at pH 9 to determine concentration (A 263 ε = 10,000). Final stock concentration is found to be 14.5 mM. Dye Coupling Reaction In 50 mL centrifuge tube equipped with magnetic stir bar is placed water (1.110 µL), borate buffer (1.800 µL), Compound I-1 polymer solution (466 µL), acetonitrile (137.5 µL), triethylamine (313 µL) and fluorescein-NHS solution (675 µL). The tube is wrapped in aluminum foil and the mixture stirred overnight at room temperature. Size Exclusion Filtration To an Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal filter (Millipore UFC900324, MW cutoff = 3000) is added 1 mL of water. The crude reaction from the dye coupling reaction (4.5 mL) is added to the filtration setup. The reaction vessel is rinsed 2 × with 4 mL of 100 mM NaOH and the rinseates are transferred to the filtration setup. The filtration setup is centrifuged at max speed (3220 g, swing bucket, 30 minutes). The filtrate is removed and the retentate treated with an additional 10 mL of 100 mM NaOH. The filtration setup is centrifuged as before. Again, the filtrate is removed and a third 10 mL 100 mM NaOH aliquot is added to the retentate. The setup is centrifuged as before and the filtrate removed. A fourth 10 mL 100 mM NaOH aliquot is added to the retentate and centrifuged as before. The filtrate is removed and 10 mL of water are added to the filtration setup. The mixture is centrifuged as before. The retentate is removed, the filtration vessel is washed with water and the rinesates are added to the final volume (3.5 mL). The desired product is confirmed by LC-MS and absorbance is used to determine concentration. EXAMPLE 2 ACTIVATION AND ANTIBODY CONJUGATION OF COMPOUND I-1 The maleimide functionalized Compound I-1 is prepared according to the method described in Example 1. In parallel, an UCHT-1 antibody is treated with bis-maleimidoethane (“BMOE”) to reduce disulfide bonds. The reduced antibody is reacted with Compound I-1 in a 5:1 molar ratio of polymer to antibody. The reaction results in a final product having a polymer to antibody ratio of 1:1 as detected by size exclusion chromatography. In some embodiments, anti-CD33, anti-CD70, or anti-CD123 may be used with bis-maleimidoethane (“BMOE”) to reduce disulfide bonds. EXAMPLE 3 GENERAL SYNTHESIS OF PEPTIDE BACKBONES VIA SOLID PHASE SYNTHESIS The reaction scheme above illustrates an exemplary method for preparing an intermediate useful for preparation of compounds of structure (II), where PG is a suitable protecting group, X is a functional unit that a peptide chain can be built on, the shaded circle is a suitable solid support, and “BAM” is a biologically active moiety, or fragment thereof, a prodrug of a biologically active moiety, or fragment thereof, a fluorescent dye, an imaging agent, or a radioisotope binding site, provided at least one occurrence of M is not a fluorescent dye. Small porous beads are initially treated with functional units, which bind to the surface of the porous beads. Peptide chains are built upon the functional units sites and remain covalently bonded to the bead until they are cleaved. When attached, a peptide chain is immobilized on the solid phase and retained during a filtration process, wherein liquid reagents and by-products of the synthesis are washed away. The general cycle of solid phase synthesis is one of repeated cycles of deprotection-wash- coupling-wash. A free N-terminal amine of a peptide, attached to a solid support, is coupled to an N-protected amino acid group (e.g., with Fmoc or Boc). The newly introduced amino acid unit is deprotected to reveal a new N-terminal amine, which is further reacted with additional amino acids. The process is repeated and the peptide chain is elongated. When the peptide chain has incorporated all desired amino acid and monomer units, it is cleaved from the bead. Cleaving reagents such as anhydrous hydrogen fluoride or trifluoroacetic acid can be used to cleave peptide chains from beads. The peptide chain is then collected, purified and characterized.
