[0001] P23-058 HDO IDURONIDASE-CLEAVABLE COMPOUNDS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates to novel, iduronidase-cleavable compounds and related methods. Moreover, the present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such a compound and the use of such compounds in medical treatment methods. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to methods of increasing the cytotoxicity of a molecule and methods of reducing cellular proliferation. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) combine the specificity of a monoclonal antibody with the cytotoxicity of a potent small-molecule warhead (Beck et al., 2017; de Goeij and Lambert, 2016). In that manner, ADCs represent the next-generation of targeted chemotherapy with currently three FDA-approved molecules available on the market. Their high anti-tumor efficacy of ADCs, however, often comes at the cost of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) that are frequently observed during clinical development (Donaghy, 2016). Those DLTs include severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia as well as ocular toxicity or peripheral neuropathy, to name a few (Masters et al., 2018; Uppal et al., 2015; Zhao et al., 2017). While some of these DLTs can be associated with the antibody portion of an ADC due to the expression of the respective antigen on healthy tissue, others can be attributed to the linker-payload combination. Common strategies to overcome DLTs can range from an adjusted dosing regimen in the clinic to drug engineering efforts that are conducted at the drug discovery stage. In general, antibody-drug conjugates can be equipped either with a cleavable or a non-cleavable linker (Tsuchikama and An, 2018). While non-cleavable linkers exhibit improved stability in the circulation, they have been reported to be less efficient due to the lack of a bystander effect (Hamblett et al., 2015). In addition, linker sequences that can be cleaved by lysosomal enzymes P23-058 HDO can offer the inherent advantage of a selective cleavage in tumor tissues in contrast to normal tissue if the enzyme exhibits a differential expression profile. The most commonly employed enzyme-cleavable linker sequence is the valine-citrulline peptide sequence that is cleaved by cathepsin B (Chari et al., 2014; Dubowchik and Firestone, 1998). However, while overexpressed in a variety of different tumor types, cathepsin B is also highly expressed in a plethora of normal cells and immune cells. In combination with a tubulin- inhibiting agent such as monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), the clinical development of cathepsin B-cleavable ADCs is often hampered by severe neutropenia (Donaghy, 2016). This can potentially be attributed to the presence of cathepsin B in neutrophil progenitor cells. Once the ADC is taken up non-specifically by a rapidly dividing progenitor cell, the linker portion can be cleaved by cathepsin B and the MMAE warhead is released. Another cause for neutropenia is the instability of the commonly used Val-Cit linker in circulation (Donaghy, 2016). Interestingly, it was observed that the Val-Cit linker system is susceptible to enzyme- mediated hydrolysis in mouse and rat plasma and that rodent-specific carboxylesterase 1c (CES1c) is responsible for linker-drug instability (M. Dorywalska et al., 2016; R. Ubink et al., 2018). These findings motivated Dorywalska et al. to generate acetylated lysin derivatives of the Val-Cit linker system (e.g., K(Ac)-VC-linker) that showed resistance to CES1c-cleavage but not to degradation via lysosomal protease. In addition, not only off-target toxicity but also on-target toxicity can occur when the enzyme mediating the linker cleavage is highly expressed in the respective tissue. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for improved ADCs. Moreover, there is a need in the art for improved linkers for ADCs. Moreover, there is a need in the art for ADCs with improved tolerability and / or efficacy. Moreover, there is a need in the art for linkers with improved stability in the circulation and / or inside normal healthy cells. Moreover, there is a need in the art for linkers which allow for effective drug release inside diseased tissues. Moreover, there is a need in the art for ADCs with low tendency to undergo aggregation. Moreover, there is a need in the art for linkers that address these problems and that at the same time are inexpensive and allow for fast synthetic access. Moreover, there is a need in the art for linkers that, if used in an ADC context, combine any or all of the above characteristics. The present disclosure overcomes the above-described problems and addresses the above- described needs. P23-058 HDO SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure addresses the needs described above in the section "Background of the Invention" by the different aspects and embodiments described below. Linkers must be stable in the circulation and efficiently release the drug payload inside target cells. Thus, linker characteristics have a great impact on ADC pharmacokinetics and efficacy. The present invention is, in part, based on the surprising observation that the novel linkers of the present disclosure, in which hydrolysis by lysosomal α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) releases the active drug of the compound, allow for the generation of ADCs with superior characteristics. The compounds according to the present disclosure were found to provide high serum stability, target-dependent cell killing in the subnanomolar range and, compared to analogous compounds with a peptide-based linker, reduced toxic activity on normal cells. This implies a high stability of the novel linkers in the systemic circulation and in normal cells while still allowing effective cleavage in tumor cells, indicating reduced toxic side effects by ADCs utilizing the iduronide-based linkers of the present disclosure. In vivo evaluation of an iduronidase-cleavable ADC according to the present disclosure showed high antitumor activity. Thus, the studies reported herein demonstrate that the iduronide-based linkers according to the present disclosure provide a very advantageous combination of high efficacy and superior safety benefits.

A) First part of synthesis route from compound (2) and (3) to compound (7). B) Continuation of synthesis from compound (7) to compound (12). The synthesis of the protected iduronic acid precursor (2) can be found in the literature (Lu et al., 2013).4-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-2-nitrophenol (3) was glycosylated with the protected iduronic acid precursor via a Mitsunobu reaction. The acetal protecting group was removed under acidic conditions and the resultant aldehyde was reduced to the primary alcohol (5) using sodium borohydride. In the next step, the nitro group was catalytically hydrated followed by coupling of the resultant amine to Fmoc protected glycine. To attach exatecan (8) to the linker portion via a carbamate functionality, the primary alcohol (6) was activated and reacted with the secondary amine of exatecan (8). Subsequently, acetyl, methoxy and Fmoc protecting groups were removed under basic conditions and in the last step the maleimide handle was attached to yield MC-iduronide-exatecan (12). Figure 3 provides the structures of linker-payload compounds used for ADC generation. Figure 4 shows data from an experiment to characterize the release kinetics of ADCs with iduronide linker. (A) Payload release mechanism of N-acetylcysteine-quenched NAC-MC- iduronide-exatecan (16). (B) Release kinetics of NAC-MC-iduronide-exatecan (16) and NAC- MC-K(Ac)-VC-exatecan (18) using recombinant human α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) and recombinant human cathepsin B (CatB). Overall, 5 µM of linker-payload were incubated with 0.25 ng / µL enzyme at the pH optimum and 37 °C for 3h and the reaction was analyzed by LC- MS every 12 min. (C) pH dependency of IDUA and CatB enzymatic cleavage rates. Enzymatic cleavage rates (kenz) were obtained by fitting the decrease of parent species (16) and (18) by a non-linear regression (one-phase-decay) in GraphPad Prism. P23-058 HDO Figure 5 summarizes results from an experiment to study in vitro exatecan release from unconjugated linker-payload structures in cell lysates or lysosomal extract from different cell types. 5 µM quenched linker-payload was incubated together with 5 µM 7-Ethyl-d3- camptothecin (D3-CPT) internal standard in 20 µg cell lysate and catabolism buffer (pH 5.0) at 37 °C for up to 48 h. Free exatecan was quantified by LC-MS / MS and is depicted as %total exatecan (5 µM = 100%). A) MC-iduronide-exatecan and MC-K(Ac)VC-exatecan incubated in cell lysates from mononuclear cells (MNC), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), normal human dendritic cells (NHDC), normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) and liver lysosomes. B) MC-iduronide-exatecan and MC-AAN-exatecan are also known as substrates for lysosomal legumain and cathepsin B in human umbilical vein (HUVEC) lysates. Enhanced exatecan release from MC-K(Ac)VC-exatecan or MC-AAN-exatecan compared to MC-iduronide-exatecan reflects reduced IDUA concentration in cell lysates and lysosomal extracts. Figure 6 depicts the concept of ADC generation in Example 6 and summarizes experimental results obtained from the characterization of ADCs. (A) Iduronide-exatecan conjugated via its maleimide handle to all 8 interchain cysteine residues aimed at a DAR of 8. (B) Characteristics of the generated exatecan ADCs for this study. ADCs differ in their cleavable linker motif: i) iduronidase-cleavable iduronide linker, ii) cathepsin B-cleavable valine-citrulline linker and iii) legumain and cathepsin B-cleavable alanine-alanine-asparagine linker. (C) Serum stability of aCEA5(anti-CEACAM5)-iduronide-exatecan. Free exatecan was measured via LC MS / MS after incubation in mouse, cynomolgus and human sera at 37 °C for 96 h. No free exatecan was detected indicating that iduronide-exatecan is not cleaved by serum proteases in these species. Figure 7 summarizes in vitro cell viability data. A) Cell viability on CEA5 positive (SK-CO- 1, MKN-45, LS174T) and CEA5 negative cells (MDA-MB-231). Cells were incubated with serial dilution of ADCs and free exatecan for 6 days before cell viability was analyzed. Error bars represent standard deviation (SD) of triplicates. (B) Inhibitory activity of ADCs and free exatecan. IC50 values are given as mean of three independent experiments (IC50 ± SD). Figure 8 shows data confirming the broad applicability of the iduronide-cleavable linker upon conjugation to additional monoclonal antibodies targeting EGFR (matuzumab). (A) The resulting iduronide-exatecan ADCs demonstrated excellent stability in mouse serum. (B) For matuzumab-based ADCs, potent cell killing was observed in in vitro cytotoxicity assays. P23-058 HDO Figure 9 shows data for the in vitro release of exatecan from unconjugated linker-payload structures in primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) cell lysates as model system for ADC Payload Linker cleavage in normal epidermal cells. Overall, 5 µM of quenched MC-iduronide-exatecan and MC-K(Ac)VC-exatecan were incubated together with 5 µM 7- Ethyl-d3-camptothecin (D3-CPT) internal standard in 20 µg cell lysate and catabolism buffer (pH 5.0) at 37 °C for up to 48 h. Free exatecan was quantified by LC-MS / MS and is given as %total exatecan (5 µM = 100%). Enhanced exatecan release from MC-K(Ac)VC-exatecan or MC-AAN-exatecan compared to MC-iduronide-exatecan reflects reduced IDUA concentration in cell lysates. Figure 10 shows data confirming that iduronide linker can be applied with different warheads to generate functional ADCs. An aCEA5 antibody was conjugated at position Q295 to the MC- iduronide-duocarmycin (15) linker-payload. The resulting ADC showed selective cell killing of CEA5 positive MKN45 cells over CEA5 negative MKN45 CEA5 knock-out cells, while the free duocarmycin payload shows similar IC50 values on both cell lines irrespective of CEA5 expression status. Figure 11 shows data from experiments to analyze toxicity in different cell types. In vitro cell toxicity models were utilized to mimic (A) liver toxicity via mono- and co-cultures of primary hepatocytes and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). Cells were treated with 900 nM of each ADC (or 250 nM of exatecan) initially and re-treated after 3 days (medium exchange). ATP was measured after 6 days via a luminescence read-out. (B) HUVEC cells were used to assess toxicity on endothelial cells. HUVEC cells were seeded (1000 cells / well) and treated with ADCs or free exatecan at 25 nM for 6 days at 37 °C, 5% CO2 before cell viability was analyzed via a luminescence read-out. Figure 12 shows results from in vivo experiments to characterize the antitumor activity of an iduronidase-cleavable aCEA-duocarmycin ADC. A single dose of iduronide duocarmycin ADC (5 mg kg-1, square) and vehicle control (circle) were administered to SNU-16 subcutaneous tumor bearing H2d Rag2 mice when a mean tumor volume reached ~150-200 mm3. Error bars represent s.e.m.

The definitions and explanations provided below relate to any of the aspects, compounds, methods or uses defined above or below in this disclosure. Compound "Compound", as used with respect to compounds according to the present disclosure, is not particularly limited and refers to a chemical entity of any chemical class, provided that it comprises at least one Iduronide unit which is optionally linked to a Stretcher unit and optionally linked to a Spacer unit (and in addition to the different further components specified P23-058 HDO for the different aspects and embodiments defined above and below). Thus, the compound can e.g. be a small molecule compound (i.e. a compound with a molecular weight < 1000 Da) or a compound comprising a small-molecule part and a protein part. It can e.g. comprise a protein composed of a single amino acid chain or it can e.g. comprise a protein composed of multiple amino acid chains that are either non-covalently or covalently associated, or a non-covalent complex including an inorganic component. Typically, the compound is a molecule. Linker unit Together, the Stretcher unit (A), if present; the Iduronide unit (W); and the Spacer unit (Y), if present; form a Linker unit. The Linker unit is a molecular group that covalently links the Ligand unit and the Functional agent and that has the specific structural features as defined herein. For example, the Linker unit can be a bifunctional compound that links a drug moiety (as Functional agent) to an antibody (as Ligand unit that functions as targeting moiety) to form an ADC compound. The Linker unit according to the present disclosure can be cleaved by enzymatic cleavage with iduronidase enzyme under appropriate conditions (see below and Examples section). The Linker unit according to the present disclosure comprises a self- immolative group. Upon iduronidase-mediated cleavage of a bond within the Linker unit, the self-immolative group spontaneously decomposes such that the covalent link between the Ligand unit and the Functional agent formed by the Linker unit is disrupted and the Functional agent is released. A Linker unit in a compound according to the present disclosure is preferably stable extracellularly (i.e. outside of the cell, e.g. in plasma). Thus, before transport or delivery into a cell, the compound is preferably stable and remains intact, i.e. the Ligand unit remains linked to the Functional agent. An effective Linker unit will: (i) not interfere with the specific binding properties of the Ligand unit; (ii) allow intracellular delivery of the Functional agent; (iii) remain stable and intact, i.e. not cleaved, until the conjugate has been delivered or transported to its target site; and (iv) maintain the functional efficacy of the Functional agent (e.g. in case of a cytotoxic agent as Functional agent: the cytotoxic, cell-killing effect of the cytotoxic agent). Methods related to the preparation of linkers in general can be applied to the preparation and linkage of the Linker unit according to the present disclosure. Such method are e.g. described in WO 2004 / 010957. Further general information about different types of linkers is also e.g. available in Dubowchik and Walker, Pharm.

Covalent linking of the Ligand and the Functional agent via a Linker unit can for example be achieved by a Linker unit having two reactive functional groups (i.e. a linker that is bivalent in a reactive sense). Bivalent linker reagents which are useful to attach two or more functional or biologically active components are known to the skilled person (see e.g. Hermanson, Bioconjugate Techniques (1996), Academic Press (New York), p 234-242). Alternatively, a Linker-Functional agent unit comprising Functional agent(s) covalently attached to a Linker unit linker may be prepared by methods of organic synthesis. In the case of an ADC, the Linker-Functional agent unit would be a linker-payload construct. Subsequently, one or more copies of this Linker-Functional agent unit can then be conjugated to the Ligand unit by methods known to the skilled person (see e.g. Behrens et al., Molecular Pharmaceutics (2015), vol. 12(11), p. 3986-3998; Stefano, Methods in Molecular Biology (2013), vol. 1045, p. 145-171; Dickgiesser et al., in: Methods in Molecular Biology: Enzyme- Mediated Ligation Methods (2019), editors Nuijens and Schmidt, vol. 2012, p. 135–149; Dickgiesser et al., Bioconjugate Chem. (2020), vol. 31(4), p. 1070-1076) and described in the Examples section below. A Linker unit according to the present disclosure is particularly preferred if the Functional agent is a therapeutic agent. For example, in a typical embodiment, the compound according to the present disclosure is an ADC, the Ligand unit is an antibody component (which functions as targeting antibody of the ADC) and the Functional agent is a drug payload (e.g. a cytotoxic agent like exatecan or duocarmycin). In this case, the Linker unit functions as linker that covalently links the targeting antibody to the drug payload of the ADC. Once the ADC comes into contact with iduronidase, the Linker unit is cleaved and the drug payload is released. P23-058 HDO Preferably, the Linker unit is stable in the extracellular space of the human body and in the intracellular environment of cells that do not express human α-L-iduronidase. Preferably, the Linker unit is cleavable in the intracellular environment of cells that express human α-L-iduronidase, such that cleavage of the Linker unit releases the Functional agent (e.g. a drug payload) from the antibody component in the intracellular environment of cells that express human α-L-iduronidase. Preferably, the target cell (i.e. the cell type to which the Ligand unit recruits the compound of the present disclosure) is a cell that expresses iduronidase enzyme in its cytoplasm. As the skilled person understands, in compounds according to the present disclosure comprising a Ligand, a Linker unit and a Functional agent this allows for release of the Functional agent (which initially is covalently attached to the Ligand via the Linker unit) into the target cells that express human α-L-iduronidase. Typically, there will be one Functional agent per Linker unit, i.e. one Linker unit molecule for each individual occurrence of a Functional agent in the compound (in the case of an ADC, one linker per payload). This means that, if e.g. two copies of a Functional agent are present in an ADC, there will usually be two Linker units, wherein the first Linker unit covalently links the first Functional agent to the Ligand, and the second Linker unit covalently links the second Functional agent to the Ligand. However, in certain embodiments it is also possible that one Linker unit links more than one Functional agent to the Ligand of the ADC (e.g. in cases where f > 1). Iduronide unit The Iduronide unit (W) is a component of the Linker unit that links a Stretcher unit to a Spacer unit if Stretcher and Spacer units are present in said compound, links a Stretcher unit to the Functional agent (such as the drug payload of an ADC or a fluorophore), if a Stretcher unit is present and no Spacer unit is present in said compound, links the Ligand unit (such as the antibody component of an ADC) to a Spacer unit, if no Stretcher unit is present and a Spacer unit is present in said compound, and links the Ligand unit to the Functional agent if neither a Stretcher unit nor a Spacer unit is present in said compound. P23-058 HDO The Iduronide unit comprises an iduronidase cleavage site. Preferably, the Iduronide unit (W) comprises (preferably is) a sugar moiety ("Sugar") linked via a glycosidic bond (–O’–) to a self-immolative group (Z), according to the formula: (Formula 9). The glycosidic bond (–O'–) is an iduronidase cleavage site, preferably a bond cleavable by α- L-iduronidase, more preferably a bond cleavable by human α-L-iduronidase. In general terms, an iduronidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of iduronosidic linkages. α-L-iduronidase is, more specifically, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of unsulfated α- L-iduronosidic linkages (enzyme classification number E.C.3.2.1.76). The systematic name of the enzyme is glycosaminoglycan α-L-iduronohydrolase. In nature, α-L-iduronidase is a glycoprotein enzyme found in the lysosomes of cells. It is involved in the degeneration of glycosaminoglycans such as dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. The enzyme acts by hydrolyzing the terminal α-L-iduronic acid residues of these molecules, thereby degrading them. As used herein in the context of an Iduronide unit, the term "self-immolative group" refers to a di- or tri-functional chemical moiety that is capable of covalently linking together two or three spaced chemical moieties into a stable molecule and that, upon cleavage of a certain bond, decomposes in such a way that the covalent linkage between said two (or three) chemical moieties is broken and the individual chemical moieties are released. In the present case, the self-immolative group may for example provide a covalent linkage between the sugar moiety (via a glycosidic bond), a Functional agent (e.g. a drug moiety; either directly or indirectly via a Spacer unit), and a Ligand unit (either directly or indirectly via a Stretcher unit). Once the P23-058 HDO glycosidic bond between the self-immolative group and the iduronide sugar is cleaved by enzymatic cleavage with iduronidase, the self-immolative group degrades in such a manner that also the linkage between the Functional agent and the Ligand unit is severed and the Functional agent is released. The sugar moiety is an iduronide moiety (i.e. an α-L-iduronic acid or β-L-iduronic acid linked to the self-immolative group Z via a glycosidic bond that is cleavable by iduronidase). Preferably, the sugar moiety is an α-L-iduronide moiety (i.e., α-L-iduronic acid linked to the self-immolative group Z via a glycosidic bond that is cleavable by α-L-iduronidase). Stretcher unit The Stretcher unit (A), when present in the compound of the present disclosure, is a molecular group that is covalently linked to the Ligand unit and the Iduronide unit (W) and thus forms a connection between these two molecular components of the compound according to the present disclosure. If the compound of the present disclosure comprises a Ligand unit, but no Stretcher unit, then the Ligand unit is linked to the Iduronide unit directly via a covalent bond. With respect to its chemical structure, the Stretcher unit is not particularly limited, provided that it forms a covalent connection between the Ligand unit and the Iduronide unit and does not interfere with the function of the compound according to the present disclosure (in particular with the binding / targeting function of the Ligand unit, the iduronidase-mediated cleavage of the Iduronide unit and the activity of the Functional agent). Formation of a covalent linkage between the Ligand unit and the Stretcher unit can for example be achieved through a functional group of the Ligand unit that allows to form a bond with a functional group of the Stretcher unit. Useful functional groups that can be present on a Ligand unit (either naturally or upon introduction via chemical manipulation) include, but are not limited to, sulfhydryl (–SH), amino, hydroxyl, carboxy, the anomeric hydroxyl group of a carbohydrate, and carboxyl. Preferably, the functional groups of the Ligand unit are sulfhydryl and / or amino groups. Sulfhydryl groups can be generated by reduction of an intramolecular disulfide bond of a Ligand. Sulfhydryl groups also can be generated by reaction of an amino group of a lysine P23-058 HDO moiety of a Ligand unit using 2-iminothiolane (Traut's reagent) or another sulfhydryl generating reagent. The Stretcher unit may form a bond with a sulfur atom of the Ligand unit. The sulfur atom for this bond formation can be derived from a sulfhydryl group of the Ligand unit. Exemplary Stretcher units can be e.g. of the general format depicted within the square brackets of the following two formulas: (Formula 10) Ligand CH2 CONH R' C(O) 0-1 Ww Yy F(Formula 11), wherein R' is a direct bond or selected from C1-C10alkylene, C3-C8carbocyclo, –O–(C1-C8alkyl), arylene, C1-C10 alkylene-arylene-, arylene-C1-C10 alkylene, C1-C10 alkylene (C3-C8 carbocyclo), (C3-C8 carbocyclo) –C1-C10 alkylene-, C3-C8 heterocyclo-, –C1-C10 alkylene-(C3- C8heterocyclo)-, ( C3-C8heterocyclo) –C1-C10alkylene, –(CH2CH2O)r–, –(CH2CH2O)r–CH2– , and –(CH2CH2O)r–CH2–CH2–; and r is an integer ranging from 1-10. A specific example of a Stretcher unit according to the present disclosure is a Stretcher unit according the following formula: (Formula 12). As the skilled person understands, this corresponds to Formula 10, wherein R' is —(CH2)2—. Another specific example of a Stretcher unit according to the present disclosure is a Stretcher unit according to the following formula: P23-058 HDO (Formula 13). As the skilled person understands, this corresponds to Formula 10, wherein R' is —(CH2)5—. A further specific example of a Stretcher unit according to the present disclosure is a Stretcher unit according to the following formula: (Formula 14). As the skilled person understands, this corresponds to Formula 10, wherein R' is— (CH2CH2O)r—CH2—; and r is 2. Alternatively, the Stretcher unit may be linked to the Ligand unit via a disulfide bond between a sulfur atom of the Ligand unit and a sulfur atom of the Stretcher unit. A representative Stretcher unit of this embodiment is depicted within the square brackets of the following formulas: Ligand (Formula 15) Ligand (Formula 16), wherein R' is a direct bond or selected from C1-C10alkylene, C3-C8carbocyclo, –O–(C1-C8alkyl), arylene, C1-C10alkylene-arylene-, arylene-C1-C10alkylene, C1-C10alkylene (C3-C8carbocyclo), (C3-C8 carbocyclo) –C1-C10 alkylene-, C3-C8 heterocyclo-, –C1-C10 alkylene-(C3- C8 heterocyclo)-, ( C3-C8 heterocyclo) –C1-C10 alkylene, –(CH2CH2O)r–, –(CH2CH2O)r–CH2– , and –(CH2CH2O)r–CH2–CH2–; and r is an integer ranging from 1-10. P23-058 HDO Within a Linker unit (resp. within a Linker-Functional agent unit), there may be one Stretcher unit A or more than one Stretcher unit A (as defined by the parameter a, wherein a > 1 indicates the presence of several Stretcher units A). At each such occurrence of the Stretcher unit, the structure of the Stretcher unit A is independently selected within the structural limits defined herein. Moreover, there may be more than one Linker-Functional agent unit in a compound according to the present disclosure (as defined by the parameter p), which can also result in a situation where there are multiple Stretcher units present in a compound according to the present disclosure. If there is more than one Stretcher unit present, these multiple Stretcher units may all have an identical structure or may not have an identical structure (within the limits set by the structural features as defined above or below). Preferably, if a Stretcher unit is present, there is only one Stretcher unit per Linker-Functional agent unit (i.e. that Stretcher unit is present in a single copy in said Linker-Functional agent unit, i.e. a is 1). Preferably, all Stretcher units within a compound according to the present disclosure have the same chemical structure. Spacer unit The Spacer unit (Y), when present in the compound of the present disclosure, is a molecular group that is covalently linked to the Iduronide unit (W) and the Functional agent and thus forms a connection between these two molecular components of the compound according to the present disclosure. If the compound of the present disclosure comprises a Functional agent, but no Spacer unit, then the Iduronide unit is linked to the Functional agent directly via a covalent bond. The Spacer unit(s) may be a self-immolative spacer. In this context, the term "self-immolative spacer" refers to a bifunctional chemical moiety that is capable of covalently linking together two spaced chemical moieties into a normally stable tripartite molecule. It will spontaneously separate from the second chemical moiety if its bond to the first moiety is cleaved. P23-058 HDO With respect to its chemical structure, the Spacer unit is not particularly limited, provided that it forms a covalent connection between the Iduronide unit and the Functional agent and does not interfere with the function of the compound according to the present disclosure (in particular with the binding / targeting function of the Ligand unit, the iduronidase-mediated cleavage of the Iduronide unit and the activity of the Functional agent). The Spacer unit may be linked to the Iduronide unit e.g. via the methylene carbon atom of the self-immolative group, and linked directly to the Functional agent via a carbonate, carbamate or ether group. Without being bound by any particular theory or mechanism, Figure 4A depicts a mechanism of release of a Functional agent (in this case the drug exatecan) of an iduronide-based linker which is attached directly to a Functional agent (in this case the drug exatecan) via a carbamate group. In one example, said Spacer unit is a meta-aminobenzyl alcohol unit whose phenylene portion is substituted with Qm wherein Q is —C1-C8 alkyl, -O-(C1-C8 alkyl), -halogen, -nitro or - cyano; and m is an integer ranging from 0-4. In another embodiment, -Yy- can be a carbonate group. Other examples of self-immolative spacers include, but are not limited to, aromatic compounds that are electronically similar to the meta-aminobenzyl alcohol group such as 2-aminoimidazol- 5- methanol derivatives (see, e.g., Hay et al., 1999, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.9:2237) and ortho or para-aminobenzylacetals. Spacers can be used that undergo cyclization upon amide bond hydrolysis, such as substituted and unsubstituted 4-aminobutyric acid amides (see, e.g., Rodrigues et al., 1995, Chemistry Biology 2:223), appropriately substituted bicyclo 2.2.1 and bicyclo2.2.2 ring systems (see, e.g., Storm et al., 1972, J. Amer: Chem. Soc. 94:5815) and 2- aminophenylpropionic acid amides (see, e.g., Amsberry et al., 1990, J. Org. Chem. 55:5867). Elimination of amine-containing drugs that are substituted at the a-position of glycine (see, e.g., Kingsbury et al., 1984, J. Med. Chem. 27:1447) are also examples of self-immolative spacers. Within a Linker-Functional agent unit, there may be one Spacer unit Y or more than one Spacer unit Y (as defined by the parameter y, wherein y > 1 indicates the presence of several Spacer P23-058 HDO units Y). At each such occurrence of the Spacer unit, the structure of the Spacer unit Y is independently selected within the structural limits defined herein. Moreover, there may be more than one Linker-Functional agent unit present in a compound according to the present disclosure (as defined by the parameter p), which can also result in a situation where there are multiple Spacer units present in a compound according to the present disclosure. If there is more than one Spacer unit present, these multiple Spacer units may all have an identical structure or may not have an identical structure (within the limits set by the structural features as defined above or below). Preferably, if a Spacer unit is present, there is only one Spacer unit per Linker-Functional agent unit (i.e. that Spacer unit is present in a single copy in said Linker-Functional agent unit, i.e. y is 1). Preferably, all Spacer units within a compound according to the present disclosure have the same chemical structure. Ligand unit The Ligand unit is a moiety (i.e. a molecular group or chemical structure) that is capable of directing the compound of the present disclosure to a target site, such as a binding site on a target cell. The target site will typically be a biological molecule or a certain part of a biological molecule. The Ligand unit binds to said biological molecule or part of a biological molecule, and through said binding directs the compound comprising said Ligand unit to said binding site. For example, the Ligand unit may be a moiety that specifically binds to EGFR and thus targets the compound to cells expressing EGFR at their cell surface. An example of a Ligand unit is an antigen-binding antibody fragment that is covalently linked via an Iduronide unit to a drug payload (i.e. a Functional agent) to form an ADC (i.e. a compound according to the present disclosure), wherein the antigen-binding fragment binds to a certain receptor present at the surface of a certain cell type (its antigen); binding of the antigen- binding fragment to this receptor results in recruitment of the compound to this cell (i.e. the antigen-binding fragment acts as targeting moiety). P23-058 HDO Non-targeted compounds such as non-targeted drugs typically reach their site of action by whole-body distribution and passive diffusion. In contrast, targeted compounds are not distributed evenly across the whole body. Due to the interaction of targeting moiety with its target molecule, a compound including a targeting moiety is concentrated preferentially at its site target site. Therefore, e.g. therapeutic compounds with a targeting moiety (e.g. a Ligand unit as described herein) require lower dosages to be therapeutically effective, thus improving the therapeutic window. The Ligand unit is covalently linked to the Linker unit. Specifically, the Ligand unit is covalently linked to the Iduronide unit, either directly or indirectly via a Stretcher unit, if present (see e.g. in Formula 5 above). With respect to its structure, the Ligand unit is not particularly limited, provided that it specifically binds to a desired binding site in such a manner that it can recruit the compound of the present disclosure to the desired target site. The Ligand unit may for example be a protein, such as a protein ligand of a receptor on the target cell. Thus, upon binding of said protein ligand to its receptor on the cell surface of said target cell, the compound of the present disclosure (of which said protein ligand is a part) is recruited to the surface of said target cell. Alternatively, the Ligand unit may for example be a peptide, a peptide mimetic, a nucleic acid, an oligonucleotide or a small molecule. As used herein, a small molecule is a molecule with a molecular weight < 1000 Da. Alternatively, the Ligand unit may be (or comprises) an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody. For example, the Ligand unit may be an antibody, which specifically binds to an antigen that is present on the surface of a target cell and thus recruits the compound of the present disclosure (of which that Ligand unit is a part) to said target cell. An "antibody" is a polypeptide substantially encoded by an immunoglobulin gene or immunoglobulin genes, or antigen binding fragment thereof, which specifically binds and recognizes an analyte (antigen). Immunoglobulin genes include the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon and mu constant region genes, as well as the myriad immunoglobulin variable region genes. P23-058 HDO Preferably, the term "antibody", as used herein, refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that is used or can be used as part of a compound according to the present disclosure, e.g. an immunoglobulin molecule that is used or can be used as part of an antibody-drug conjugate. The term "antibody" can encompass full-length antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of full-length antibodies (i.e. fragments of an full-length antibody that are still capable of binding the same antigen to which the corresponding full-length antibody binds). In some embodiments, the term also includes molecules in which a full-length antibody or antigen-binding fragment of a full-length antibody is covalently linked to one or more further full-length antibodies and / or one or more further antigen-binding fragments of antibodies and / or another molecular structure. Thus, the antibody is an immunoglobulin molecule that recognizes and specifically binds to a target (the antigen, see below), through at least one antigen-binding site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. In primates such as humans, a heavy and the light chain variable domain of an antibody combine to specifically bind the antigen. Generally, a naturally occurring primate (e.g., human) or murine immunoglobulin has heavy (H) chains and light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. There are two types of light chain, lambda (λ) and kappa (κ). There are five main heavy chain classes (or isotypes) which determine the functional activity of an antibody molecule: IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA and IgE. Primate antibodies can be class switched. The antibody according to the present disclosure can be of any class (e.g. IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, preferably IgG), or subclass (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2, preferably IgG1). The different classes of immunoglobulins have different and well-known subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations (Immunobiology, 5th ed. (2001), editors Janeway et al., Garland Publishing (USA)). Specifically, each light and heavy chain of an antibody contains constant domains and variable domains. References to "VH" or "VH" refer to the variable region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, including that of an antibody fragment. References to "VL" or "VL" refer to the variable region of an immunoglobulin light chain, such as in a primate antibody. Light and heavy chain variable domains contain a "framework" region interrupted by three hypervariable regions, also called "complementarity determining regions" or "CDRs" (see, e.g., Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, U.S. Department of Health and P23-058 HDO Human Services, 1991). The sequences of the framework regions of different light or heavy chains are relatively conserved within a species. The framework region of an antibody, that is the combined framework regions of the constituent light and heavy chains, serves to position and align the CDRs in three-dimensional space. The CDRs are primarily responsible for antigen binding. The CDRs are typically referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 (from the N-terminus to C- terminus), and are also typically identified by the chain in which the particular CDR is located. Thus, a VH CDR3 is located in the variable domain of the heavy chain of the antibody in which it is found, whereas a VL CDR1 is the CDR1 from the variable domain of the light chain of the antibody in which it is found. Light chain CDRs are sometimes referred to as CDR L1, CDR L2, and CDR L3. Heavy chain CDRs are sometimes referred to as CDR H1, CDR H2, and CDR H3. VHH monoclonal antibodies have only a heavy chain, and thus include only one CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3. Generally, the CDR3 is primarily responsible for antigen specificity. The extent of the framework region and CDRs have been defined (see, Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1991). The Kabat database is now maintained online. The antibody that is included as Ligand unit in the compound according to the present disclosure may for example be an antibody selected from the group consisting of an IgG1 antibody, an IgG2 antibody, an IgG3 antibody, IgG4 antibody, an IgA antibody, an IgM antibody, and hybrids thereof. An antibody consisting of a "hybrid" of two antibodies of different class / subclasses refers to an antibody that contains sequences from these two antibodies of different class / subclass. For example, a bispecific antibody prepared by the SEED technology (WO 2016 / 087650) typically contains sequences from both IgG and IgA and thus would be considered a "hybrid" of an IgG antibody and an IgA antibody. As used herein, a "full-length" antibody refers to an antibody that includes the complete, full- length sequence of an antibody of the respective antibody class. Thus, a full-length antibody includes the antigen-binding region(s) (i.e. the complete VL and VH domains), as well as complete light and heavy chain constant domains, as appropriate for the antibody class, wherein the antibody domains remain associated through at least one non-covalent interaction. The P23-058 HDO constant domains may be native sequence constant domains (e.g., human native sequence constant domains) or amino acid sequence variants thereof. As used herein, a "fragment" of an antibody is a portion of a full-length antibody. An "antigen- binding fragment" of a (full-length) antibody is a portion of said antibody that binds the same antigen as the full-length antibody. For example if a full-length antibody is directed against and binds to cMET, an antigen-binding fragment of said antibody also binds to cMET. Thus, said antigen-binding fragment binds to the same antigen as the full-length antibody from which said fragment is derived (namely, in this example, cMET). Typically, this means that the fragment comprises the same antigen-binding region as the corresponding full-length antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments and single chain Fv (scFv) antibodies. In some embodiments, the term "fragment" of an antibody also encompasses bi- or multivalent antibody constructs generated by joining two or more of the aforementioned antibody fragments together. As used herein, "antigen" refers to a substance that can specifically bind to the variable region of an antibody. An antigen may e.g. be a protein, polypeptide, peptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid, or a combination of the foregoing. A "variable region" of an antibody refers to the variable region of the antibody light chain or the variable region of the antibody heavy chain, either alone or in combination. The variable regions of the heavy and light chain each consist of four framework regions (FR) connected by three complementarity determining regions (CDRs) also known as hypervariable regions. The CDRs in each chain are held together in close proximity by the FRs and, with the CDRs from the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antigen-binding site of the antibody. There are at least two techniques for determining CDRs: (1) an approach based on cross-species sequence variability (Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed. (1991), editors Kabat et al., National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, USA)); and (2) an approach based on crystallographic studies of antigen-antibody complexes (Al-Lazikani et al., J. Molec. Biol. (1997), vol.273, p.927-948)). In addition, combinations of these two approaches are sometimes used in the art to determine CDRs. The terms "epitope" or "antigenic determinant" are used interchangeably herein and refer to the portion of an antigen that is recognized and specifically bound by a particular antibody. When P23-058 HDO the antigen is a polypeptide, epitopes can be formed both from contiguous amino acids and noncontiguous amino acids juxtaposed by tertiary folding of a protein. Epitopes formed from contiguous amino acids are typically retained upon protein denaturing, whereas epitopes formed by tertiary folding are typically lost upon protein denaturing. An epitope typically includes at least 3, and more usually, at least 5 or 8-10 amino acids in a unique spatial conformation. Standard techniques of antibody design and preparation are known to a skilled person (see e.g. Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd edition (2014), editor Greenfield, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (U.S.); Antibody Engineering - Methods and Protocols, 2nd edition (2010), editors Nevoltris and Chames, publisher Springer (Germany); Handbook of Therapeutic Antibodies (2014), editors Dübel and Reichert, publisher Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA (Germany); Harper, Methods in Molecular Biology (2013), vol. 1045, p. 41-49). With respect to the type and source of the antibody, the antibody according to the present disclosure (i.e. the antibody that is included as Ligand unit in the compound according to the present disclosure) is not particularly limited, as long as it contains at least one antigen-binding site and shows binding to its target antigen. Thus, the antibody that is included as Ligand unit in the compound according to the present disclosure may not only be a "classical" full-length antibody or fragment thereof, but can e.g. also be a Fab, a Fab', a (Fab')2, a Fv, a scFv, a diabody or a VHH. "Fab" fragments are obtained by papain digestion of an antibody, which produces two identical antigen-binding fragments, called "Fab" fragments, and a residual "Fc" fragment, a designation reflecting the ability to crystallize readily. The Fab fragment consists of an entire L chain along with the variable region domain of the H chain (VH), and the first constant domain of one heavy chain (CH1). Each Fab fragment is monovalent with respect to antigen binding, i.e., it has a single antigen-binding site. "F(ab')2" fragments are obtained by pepsin treatment of an antibody, which yields a single large F(ab')2 fragment which roughly corresponds to two disulfide linked Fab fragments having different antigen-binding activity and is still capable of cross-linking antigen. P23-058 HDO "Fab' " fragments differ from Fab fragments by having a few additional residues at the carboxy terminus of the CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab'-SH is the designation for Fab' in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. F(ab')2 antibody fragments originally were produced as pairs of Fab' fragments which have hinge cysteines between them. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known. The Fc fragment comprises the carboxy-terminal portions of both H chains held together by disulfides. The effector functions of antibodies are determined by sequences in the Fc region, the region which is also recognized by Fc receptors (FcR) found on certain types of cells. "Fv" is the minimum antibody fragment which contains a complete antigen-recognition and - binding site. This fragment consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable region domain in tight, non-covalent association. From the folding of these two domains emanate six hypervariable loops (3 loops each from the H and L chain) that contribute the amino acid residues for antigen binding and confer antigen binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three HVRs specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although at a lower affinity than the entire binding site. "Single-chain Fv", also abbreviated as "scFv", are antibody fragments that comprise the VH and VL antibody domains connected into a single polypeptide chain. Preferably, the scFv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains which enables the scFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding. For a review of the scFv, see Pluckthun, in: The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113 (1994), editors Rosenburg and Moore, Springer-Verlag (New York), p. 269-315. The term "diabody" refers to a small antibody fragment prepared by constructing scFv fragments (see preceding paragraph) with short linkers (about 5-10) residues) between the VH and VL domains such that inter-chain but not intra-chain pairing of the V domains is achieved, thereby resulting in a bivalent fragment, i.e., a fragment having two antigen-binding sites. Bispecific diabodies are heterodimers of two "crossover" scFv fragments in which the VH and VL domains of the two antibodies are present on different polypeptide chains. Diabodies are P23-058 HDO described in greater detail in, for example, EP 0404097; WO 93 / 11161; Hollinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (1993), vol. 90, p. 6444-6448. As used herein, the terms "VHH" and "nanobody" have the same meaning. They refer to single- domain antibodies which are antibody fragments consisting of a single monomeric variable region of a heavy chain of an antibody. Like a whole antibody, a VHH is able to bind selectively to a specific antigen. With a molecular weight of only 12–15 kDa, VHHs are much smaller than common antibodies (150–160 kDa). The first single-domain antibodies were engineered from heavy-chain antibodies found in camelids. (Gibbs and Wayt, Nanobodies, Scientific American Magazine (2005)). Generally, the antibodies with a natural deficiency of the light chain and the heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1) are first obtained, the variable regions of the heavy chain of the antibody are therefore cloned to construct a single domain antibody (VHH) consisting of only one heavy chain variable region. The antibody that is included as Ligand unit in the compound according to the present disclosure may be a monovalent, bivalent or multivalent antibody, it may be a monospecific or a bispecific antibody, and / or it may be a chimeric, a humanized or a human antibody. A "monospecific antibody", as used herein, is an antibody that is capable of binding only to one antigen. The term "bispecific antibody", as used in the present disclosure, refers to an antibody that is capable of specifically binding to two different epitopes at the same time. The epitopes can be from the same antigen or from two different antigens. Preferably, the epitopes are from two different antigens. Typically, a bispecific antibody has two antigen-binding sites, wherein e.g. each of the two pairs of heavy chain and light chain (HC / LC) is specifically binding to a different antigen, i.e. the first heavy and the first light chain are specifically binding together to a first antigen, and, the second heavy and the second light chain are specifically binding together to a second antigen. Methods for making bispecific antibodies are known in the art. For example, bispecific antibodies can be produced recombinantly using the co-expression of two immunoglobulin heavy chain / light chain pairs (see e.g. Milstein et al., Nature (1983), vol.305, p. 537-539). Alternatively, bispecific antibodies can be prepared using chemical linkage (see e.g. Brennan et al., Science (1985), vol.229, p.81). A bispecific antibody can also for example be prepared by the SEED technology (an approach for generation of bispecific antibodies in P23-058 HDO which structurally related sequences within the conserved CH3 domains of human IgA and IgG are exchanged to form two asymmetric but complementary domains, see WO 2016 / 087650). A "monovalent" antibody has one antigen-binding site. A "bivalent" antibody has two antigen- binding sites. These two antigen-binding sites may bind the same or different antigens. A "multivalent" antibody has more than two antigen-binding sites. These more than two antigen- binding sites may bind the same or different antigens. As used in this disclosure, a "chimeric" antibody is an antibody in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is / are identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity (U.S. Patent 4,816,567; Morrison et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA (1984), vol. 81, p. 6851- 6855). As used herein, "humanized antibody" is used a subset of "chimeric antibodies." A "humanized antibody", as used herein, is a "humanized" form of non-human (e.g., murine) antibody. A "humanized antibody", is a chimeric antibody that contains minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In one embodiment, a humanized antibody is a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) in which residues from an HVR (hereinafter defined) of the recipient are replaced by residues from an HVR of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit or non-human primate having the desired specificity, affinity, and / or capacity. In some instances, framework (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, humanized antibodies may comprise residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody. These modifications may be made to further refine antibody performance, such as binding affinity. In general, a humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin sequence, and all or substantially all of the FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence, although the FR regions may include one or more individual FR residue substitutions that improve antibody performance, such as binding affinity, isomerization, immunogenicity, etc. The number of these amino acid substitutions in the FR are typically no more than 6 in the H chain, and in the L chain, no more P23-058 HDO than 3. The humanized antibody optionally will also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. For further details, see e.g. Jones et al., Nature (1986), vol. 321, p. 522-525; Riechmann et al., Nature (1988), vol. 332, p. 323-329; and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. (1992), vol. 2, p. 593-596. See also, for example, Vaswani and Hamilton, Ann. Allergy, Asthma & Immunol. (1998), vol. 1, p.105-115; Harris, Biochem. Soc. Transactions (1995), vol.23, p.1035-1038; Hurle and Gross, Curr. Op. Biotech. (1994), vol. 5, p. 428-433; U.S. Patent 6,982,321; U.S. Patent 7,087,409. A "human antibody" is an antibody that possesses an amino-acid sequence corresponding to that of an antibody produced by a human and / or has been made using any of the techniques for making human antibodies as disclosed herein. This definition of a human antibody specifically excludes a humanized antibody comprising non-human antigen-binding residues. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art, including phage-display libraries (Hoogenboom and Winter, J. Mol. Biol. (1991), vol. 227, p. 381; Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol. (1991), vol. 222, p. 581). Also available for the preparation of human monoclonal antibodies are methods described in Cole et al., in: Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy (1985), editors Reisfeld and Sell, publisher Alan R. Liss Inc. (New York), p.77-96; Boerner et al., J. Immunol. (1991), vol. 147(1), p. 86-95; van Dijk and van de Winkel, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. (2001), vol.5, p.368-374. Human antibodies can be prepared by administering the antigen to a transgenic animal that has been modified to produce such antibodies in response to antigenic challenge, but whose endogenous loci have been disabled, e.g., immunized xenomice (see e.g. U.S. Patent 6,075,181 and U.S. Patent 6,150,584 regarding XENOMOUSE™ technology). See also, for example, Li et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2006), vol. 103, p. 3557-3562 regarding human antibodies generated via a human B-cell hybridoma technology. The antibody that is included as Ligand unit in the compound according to the present disclosure may be a monoclonal antibody or a polyclonal antibody. A "monoclonal" antibody", as used herein, means an antibody arising from a nearly homogeneous antibody population. More particularly, the individual antibodies of a population are identical except for a few possible naturally-occurring mutations which can be found in minimal proportions. In other words, a monoclonal antibody consists of a homogeneous antibody arising from the growth of a single cell clone and is generally characterized by heavy chains of one (i.e. only one) class and subclass, and light chains of only one type. Monoclonal P23-058 HDO antibodies are directed against a single antigen. In addition, in contrast with preparations of polyclonal antibodies which typically include various antibodies directed against various epitopes, each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single epitope of the antigen. Monoclonal antibodies are typically produced by a single clone of B lymphocytes ("B cells"). Monoclonal antibodies may be obtained using a variety of techniques known to those skilled in the art, including standard hybridoma technology (see e.g. Köhler and Milstein, Eur. J. Immunol. (1976), vol. 5, p. 511-519; Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd edition (2014), editor Greenfield, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (USA); Immunobiology, 5th ed. (2001), editors Janeway et al., Garland Publishing (USA)) and e.g. expression from a eukaryotic host cell transfected with a DNA molecule coding for the homogeneous antibody or from a prokaryotic host cell transfected with a DNA molecule coding for the homogeneous antibody. As used herein, "polyclonal" antibody refers to a heterogeneous population of antibodies, typically obtained by purification from the sera of immunized animals by standard techniques known to a skilled person (see e.g. Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd edition (2014), editor Greenfield, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (USA)). Typically, each compound according to the present disclosure comprises one antibody (but may comprise e.g. more than one Linker unit and more than one Functional agent). In some embodiments, the Ligand unit comprises additional molecular group(s) in addition to the part of the molecule that is directly involved in the binding to the target site. In some embodiments, the Ligand unit does not comprise additional molecular groups in addition to the part of the molecule that is directly involved in the binding to the target site. Functional agent The Functional agent is a chemical entity which is capable of fulfilling a biological, chemical, therapeutic and / or diagnostic function in the human body. The terms "Functional agent" and "payload" are used synonymously herein. As the skilled person understands, the term "chemical entity" includes any type of chemical group or molecule of any substance class and is only limited by the recited requirement that it P23-058 HDO must be capable of fulfilling (in the context of the compound according to the present disclosure) a biological, chemical, therapeutic and / or diagnostic function in the human body. For example, the Functional agent can be a therapeutic agent or a detectable label. A "therapeutic agent", as used herein, is an agent that exerts an effect that is linked to a therapeutic benefit if administered to a patient (e.g. by killing a tumor cells, reducing an undesired inflammation, stimulating the activity of the immune system against an infection, or suppressing the immune response in case of an autoimmune disease). The terms "therapeutic agent" and "drug moiety" (D) are used synonymously herein. Different therapeutic agents, their preparation, conjugation and use in compounds like antibody-drug conjugates are described e.g. in Nicolaou and Rigol, 2019; Maderna and Leverett, 2015; Gromek and Balunas, 2014. Therapeutic agents useful in accordance with the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, cytotoxic agents, anti-inflammatory agents, immunostimulatory agents and immunosuppressive agents. Thus, the therapeutic agent may be a cytotoxic agent. As used herein, a "cytotoxic agent" is a substance that is toxic to cells (i.e. causes cell death or destruction). A cytotoxic agent according to the present disclosure is typically a small molecule chemical compound, peptide, or nucleic acid molecule. Various cytotoxic agents that can be used in compounds according to the present disclosure (such as ADCs) are known to the skilled person (Nicolaou and Rigol, 2019; Maderna and Leverett, 2015; Gromek and Balunas, 2014; Garcia-Echeverria, 2014). Cytotoxic agents may achieve cell killing by different mechanisms and thus divided into different classes according to their mechanism of action (Nicolaou and Rigol, 2019). In some embodiments, the cytotoxic agent included in the compound of the present disclosure is selected from the group consisting of an inhibitor of microtubule formation, an EG5 inhibitor and a DNA damaging agent (e.g. Anderl et al., 2013). P23-058 HDO An "inhibitor of microtubule formation", as used herein, is an inhibitor that acts by inhibiting tubulin polymerization or microtubule assembly, and thus has anti-proliferative / toxic effects on cells. For example, said inhibitor of microtubule formation may be an auristatin, a maytansinoid or tubulysin. An "EG5 inhibitor", as used herein, is an inhibitor that inhibits the protein EG5, and thus is toxic to cells. EG5 refers to member 11 of the human kinesin family, which is also known as KIF11, HKSP, KNSL1 or TRIP5. EG5 inhibitors are for example those described in Marconi et al., 2019 or Karpov et al., 2019. For example, said EG5 inhibitor may be ispinesib, filanesib, litronesib or K858 (Chen et al., 2017). A "DNA damaging agent", as used herein, is an agent that acts to damage cellular DNA, e.g. by inducing double-strand breaks, cross-linking specific sites of DNA or intercalating between DNA base pairs. Said DNA damaging agent may for example be a topoisomerase I inhibitor (e.g. exatecan, or camptothecin), a topoisomerase II inhibitor (e.g. doxorubicin or a variant thereof) or a DNA alkylating agent (e.g. a duocarmycin, a CBI dimer, a pyrrolobenzodiazepine or a variant thereof). Therapeutic agents that can be used as Functional agent in the compound according to the present disclosure include all cytotoxins commonly utilized in ADCs to date. Most classes of cytotoxins act to inhibit cell division and are classified based on their mechanism of action. Exemplary cytotoxins that are conceivable as part of the inventive conjugates include, without limitation, anthracycline, doxorubicin, methotrexate, auristatins including monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF), maytansines and their maytansinoid derivatives (DMs), calicheamicins, duocarmycins and pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimers, topoisomerase I inhibitors, e.g. camptothecins and camptothecin derivates, triptolides. The therapeutic agent may for example be a topoisomerase I inhibitor (e.g. exatecan, camptothecin, SN38, Dxd or a variant thereof), a topoisomerase II inhibitor (e.g. doxorubicin or a variant thereof), a DNA alkylating agent (e.g. duocarmycin, a CBI dimer, a pyrrolobenzodiazepine or a variant thereof), a transcription inhibitor (e.g. triptolide, CDK inhibitors), a Bcl-xL inhibitor (e.g. clezutoclax), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (e.g. neolymphostin, P23-058 HDO dasatinib or staurosporine), an immune-stimulating agent (e.g. a STING or TLR agonist), an HSP90 inhibitor (e.g. a geldanamycin derivate), a splicing inhibitor (e.g. a pladienolide), a translation inhibitor (e.g. psymberin), a proteasome inhibitor (e.g. a carmaphycin B analogue) or a PROTAC (e.g GNE-987). In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of a V- ATPase inhibitor, a pro-apoptotic agent, a Bcl2 inhibitor, an MCL1 inhibitor, a HSP90 inhibitor, an IAP inhibitor, an mTor inhibitor, a microtubule stabilizer, a microtubule destabilizer, an auristatin, an amanitin, a pyrrolobenzodiazepine, an RNA polymerase inhibitor, a dolastatin, a maytansinoid, a MetAP (methionine aminopeptidase), an inhibitor of nuclear export of proteins CRM1, a DPPIV inhibitor, proteasome inhibitors, inhibitors of phosphoryl transfer reactions in mitochondria, a protein synthesis inhibitor, a kinase inhibitor, a CDK2 inhibitor, a CDK9 inhibitor, a kinesin inhibitor, an HDAC inhibitor, a DNA damaging agent, a DNA alkylating agent, a DNA intercalator, a DNA minor groove binder and a DHFR inhibitor. In some embodiments, the cytotoxic agent is a maytansinoid, wherein the maytansinoid is N(2')- deacetyl-N(2')-(3-mercapto-l-oxopropyl)-maytansine (DM1), N(2')-deacetyl-N(2')-(4- mercapto-l-oxopentyl)-maytansine (DM3) and N(2')-deacetyl-N2-(4- mercapto-4-methyl- 1 - oxopentyl)-maytansine (DM4). Preferably, the cytotoxic agent is selected from the group consisting of: anthracycline, doxorubicin, methotrexate, an auristatin including monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF), maytansines and their maytansinoids derivatives (DMs), calicheamicins, duocarymycins and pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimers, a V-ATPase inhibitor, a pro-apoptotic agent, a Bcl2 inhibitor, an MCL1 inhibitor, a HSP90 inhibitor, an IAP inhibitor, an mTor inhibitor, a microtubule stabilizer, a microtubule destabilizer, an amanitin, a pyrrolobenzodiazepine, an RNA polymerase inhibitor, a dolastatin, a maytansinoid, a MetAP (methionine aminopeptidase), an inhibitor of nuclear export of proteins CRM1, a DPPIV inhibitor, proteasome inhibitors, inhibitors of phosphoryl transfer reactions in mitochondria, a protein synthesis inhibitor, a kinase inhibitor, a CDK2 inhibitor, a CDK9 inhibitor, a kinesin inhibitor, an HDAC inhibitor, a DNA damaging agent, a DNA alkylating agent, a DNA intercalator, a DNA minor groove binder and a DHFR inhibitor. In a particular preferred embodiment, the drug is the tubulin inhibitor monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). P23-058 HDO Methods for attaching each of these to a compound as according to the present disclosure are known in the art (see e.g. Singh and Erickson, 2009). Further details about cytotoxic payloads for ADCs can for example be found in Cytotoxic Payloads for Antibody-Drug Conjugates (Drug Discovery, Band 71), 1st edition (2019), editors Thurston and Jackson, Royal Society of Chemistry (U.K.). A cytotoxic agent may for example be a radioactive isotope. Examples for cytotoxic agents that are radioactive isotopes are At211, I131, I125, Y90, Re186, Re188, Sm153, Bi212, P32, P212, Zr89and radioactive isotopes of Lu. In some embodiments, the Functional agent is a cytotoxic agent that shows a higher cytotoxicity after linker cleavage and release compared to the previous state when the cytotoxic agent is still covalently attached via the linker to the compound according to the present disclosure (e.g. to an ADC). The compound according to the present disclosure may comprise only one type of payload (i.e., if the compound according to the present disclosure is e.g. an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), one ADC molecule according to the present disclosure is linked to only one kind of payload, e.g. auristatin E, wherein one or more copies of the payload (in this example auristatin E) may be linked to the ADC molecule). Alternatively, the compound according to the present disclosure may comprise several types of payloads (i.e., if the compound according to the present disclosure is e.g. an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), one ADC molecule is linked to two or more kinds of therapeutic agent, e.g. auristatin E and DM4, wherein one or more copies of each payload (in this example one or more copies of auristatin E and one or more copies of DM4) may be linked to the ADC molecule). Preferably, the compound according to the present disclosure comprises only one kind of payload. If the compound according to the present disclosure is an ADC, the copy number of Functional agents linked to one compound (i.e. in the first example above the number of auristatin E molecules linked to one ADC molecule, and in the second example above the number of P23-058 HDO auristatin E molecules plus the number of DM4 molecules linked to one ADC molecule) is reflected in the drug-antibody ratio (DAR). Alternatively, the therapeutic agent may be an anti-inflammatory agent. As used herein, an "anti-inflammatory agent" is a substance that reduces inflammation. This means that said anti-inflammatory agent results in the reduction of an undesired inflammation as compared to the administration of a control molecule that does not include said anti- inflammatory agent. By recruiting the anti-inflammatory agent to specific immune cells as target cells, the anti-inflammatory effects can be focused to the site of inflammation (where these immune cells may be enriched) or to a specific type of immune cell. The anti-inflammatory agent may be a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. For example, the anti- inflammatory agent may be a steroid, preferably, selected from the group consisting of cortisol, cortisone acetate, beclometasone, prednisone, prednisolone, methylprednisolone, betamethasone, trimcinolone, budesonide, dexamethasone, fluticasone, fluticasone propionate, fluticasone furoate and a mometasone; or the anti-inflammatory agent may be a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, e.g. a Cox2 inhibitor. Alternatively, the therapeutic agent may be an immunostimulatory agent. As used herein, an "immunostimulatory agent" is a substance that enhances the development or maintenance of an immunologic response. The immunostimulatory agent may be an agonist of an immunostimulatory molecule or an antagonists of a molecule inhibiting an immunologic response. In some embodiments, the immunostimulatory agent comprises an agonist of an immunostimulatory molecule, such as an agonist of a costimulatory molecule found on immune cells such (as T cells) or an agonist of a costimulatory molecule found on cells involved in innate immunity (such as NK cells). In some embodiments, the immunostimulatory agent comprises an antagonist of an immunosuppressive molecule, e.g. an antagonist of a cosuppressive molecule found on cells involved in innate immunity (such as NK cells). Preferably, administration of an compound with an immunostimulatory agent as payload results in an improvement of a desired immune response. In some embodiments, administration of an ADC with an immunostimulatory agent as payload results in an improved anti-tumor response P23-058 HDO in an animal cancer model, such as a xenograft model, as compared to the administration of a control molecule that does not include said immunostimulatory agent. In some embodiments, the immunostimulatory agent is or comprises an antagonist of an inhibitor of T cell activation. In some embodiments, the immunostimulatory agent is or comprises an agonists of a stimulant of T cell activation. In some embodiments, the immunostimulatory agent is or comprises an agent that antagonizes or prevents cytokines that inhibit T cell activation, such as IL-6, IL-10, TGFβ, VEGF. In some embodiments, the at least one immunostimulatory agent comprises an antagonist of a chemokine such as CXCR2, CXCR4, CCR2 or CCR4. In some embodiments, the immunostimulatory agent is or comprises an agonist of a cytokine that stimulates T cell activation, such as IL-2, IL-7, IL-12, IL-15, IL- 21 and IFNα. In preferred embodiments, the immunostimulatory agent is selected from the group consisting of a TLR7 agonist, a TLR8 agonist, a TLR7 antagonist, a TLR8 antagonist, a Sting inhibitor, a TGF beta inhibitor, an a2A inhibitor and an a2B inhibitor. Alternatively, the therapeutic agent may be an immunosuppressive agent. As used herein, an "immunosuppressive agent" is an agent that inhibits the development or maintenance of an immunologic response. Such inhibition by an immunosuppressive agent can be effected by, for example, elimination of immune cells (e.g., T or B lymphocytes); induction or generation of immune cells that can modulate (e.g., down-regulate) the functional capacity of other cells; induction of an unresponsive state in immune cells (e.g., anergy); or increasing, decreasing or changing the activity or function of immune cells, including, for example, altering the pattern of proteins expressed by these cells (e.g., altered production and / or secretion of certain classes of molecules such as cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, transcription factors, kinases, costimulatory molecules or other cell surface receptors, and the like). In typical embodiments, an immunosuppressive agent has a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect on an immune cell that promotes an immune response. In some embodiments, said immunosuppressive agent results in the reduction of an undesired immune response as compared to the administration of a control molecule that does not include said immunosuppressive agent. P23-058 HDO "Immune cell", as used herein, means any cell of hematopoietic lineage involved in regulating an immune response against an antigen (e.g., an autoantigen), such as a T cell (T lymphocyte), a B cell (B lymphocyte) or a dendritic cell. Preferably, an immune cell according to the present disclosure is a T cell or B cell. In preferred embodiments, the immunosuppressive agent according to the present disclosure is selected from the group consisting of an IMDH (inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase) inhibitor, an mTor (mechanistic target of rapamycin) inhibitor, a SYK (spleen tyrosine kinase) inhibitor, a JAK (janus kinase) inhibitor and a calcineurin inhibitor. As a further alternative, the Functional agent can be a detectable label. As used herein, "detectable label" refers to a molecule capable of detection (i.e. capable of being detected by methods known in the art, e.g. detection methods based on radiography, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, enzymatic activity or absorbance). A compound according to the present disclosure with a detectable label as Functional agent (e.g. an ADC according to the present disclosure with a detectable label as payload), can be useful for diagnosing a disease, identifying the site of a disease, or for monitoring or prognosing the onset, development, progression and / or severity of a disease or disorder as part of a clinical testing procedure, such as determining the efficacy of a particular therapy. There are even situations where a detectable label and a therapeutic agent can be used in combination (e.g. Rondon and Degoul, 2020). A detectable label as Functional agent may e.g. be an enzyme (such as horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, or acetylcholinesterase), a prosthetic group (such as streptavidin / biotin and avidin / biotin), a fluorescent material (such as Alexa Fluor® 350, Alexa Fluor® 405, Alexa Fluor® 430, Alexa Fluor® 488, Alexa Fluor® 500, Alexa Fluor® 514, Alexa Fluor® 532, Alexa Fluor® 546, Alexa Fluor® 555, Alexa Fluor® 568, Alexa Fluor® 594, Alexa Fluor® 610, Alexa Fluor® 633, Alexa Fluor® 647, Alexa Fluor® 660, Alexa Fluor® 680, Alexa Fluor® 700, Alexa Fluor® 750, umbelliferone, fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylamine fluorescein, dansyl chloride or phycoerythrin), a luminescent material (such as luminol), a bioluminescent material (such as luciferase, luciferin or aequorin), a radioactive material (such as iodine (131I,125I,123I or121I), P23-058 HDO carbon (14C), sulfur (35S), tritium (3H), indium (115In,113In,112In or111In), technetium (99Tc), thallium (201Ti), gallium (68Ga,67Ga), palladium (103Pd), molybdenum (99Mo), xenon (133Xe), fluorine (18F),153Sm,177Lu,159Gd,149Pm,140La,175Yb,166Ho,90Y,47Sc,186Re,188Re,142Pr,105Rh,97Ru,68Ge,57Co,65Zn,85Sr,32P,153Gd,169Yb,51Cr,54Mn,75Se,64Cu,113Sn, and117Sn), a positron-emitting metal (for positron emission tomography), or a non-radioactive paramagnetic metal ion. Alternatively, a detectable label can for example be a fluorophore, a spin label, an infrared probe, an affinity probe, a spectroscopic probe, a radioactive probe, or a quantum dot. Preferably, said detectable label is a radioisotope, fluorophore, chromophore, enzyme, dye, metal ion, ligand (such as biotin, avidin, streptavidin or hapten) or quantum dot. Within a Linker-Functional agent unit, there may be one Functional agent or more than one Functional agent (as defined by the parameter f, wherein f > 1 indicates the presence of several Functional agents). Moreover, there may be more than one Linker-Functional agent unit per compound (as defined by the parameter p). At each such occurrence of the Functional agent F, the structure of the Functional agent is independently selected within the structural limits defined herein. Preferably, all Functional agents present in a compound according to the present disclosure have the same chemical structure. Preparation of compound according to the present disclosure The compound of the present disclosure can be prepared by standard methods of synthetic organic chemistry known to the skilled person and standard methods of genetic engineering and recombinant protein technology known to the skilled person (see e.g. Green and Sambrook, "Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual", 2014; Coligan et al., "Current Protocols in Protein Science", 1997). Exemplary methods are also described in the Examples section of the present disclosure. General methods for the preparation of compounds like ADCs by different approaches can be found for example in Matsuda et al., Organic Process Research & Development (2019), vol. 23(12), p. 2647-2654; Walker et al., Bioconjugate Chemistry (2019), vol. 30(9), p.2452-2457; Barfield and Rabuka, Methods in Molecular Biology (2018), vol. 1728 (Noncanonical Amino Acids), p. 3-16. P23-058 HDO Individual parts of the compound can be prepared separately and later covalently coupled by methods for covalently conjugating chemical compounds that are known to a person of skill in the art of chemical synthesis. For example, if the compound according to the present disclosure is an ADC, a drug-linker construct can be prepared by chemical synthesis and this drug-linker construct can then subsequently be conjugated to an antibody as Ligand unit by a chemical reaction with appropriate reactive groups (e.g. linkage by maleimide chemistry) or by enzymatic linkage (e.g. transglutaminase-catalyzed linkage). By use of orthogonal conjugation methods for the successive linkage of different components (such as combination of transglutaminase and cysteine conjugation), a high level of control can be achieved. If one of the components to be covalently linked contains or is a protein, care must be taken not to damage the protein during the conjugation. While the reaction environment during enzymatic addition is typically not harmful to a protein component like an antibody, the conditions for attachment by chemical reaction must be appropriately chosen to avoid damage to the protein components. Conjugation to a sensitive component may for example be carried out via a cycloaddition reaction such as Click Chemistry or Diels Alder type modifications (Rossin et al., Bioconjugate Chemistry (2016), vol.27(7), p.1697-1706) or using aldehydes (Barfield and Rabuka, Methods in Molecular Biology (2018), vol. 1728, p. 3-16). Suitable conditions can also be inferred from the conditions for chemical linker conjugation to the antibody component as described in Example 1 below. Chemical linkage of two previously prepared individual molecular parts of the compound according to the present disclosure (a first and a second molecule) may be carried out by use of an activated intermediate compound. Such an activated intermediate compound may be obtained by introducing an activator group to the first or second molecule by standard methods of organic synthesis. The activator group is a reactive functional group. The activator group may for example be an activator group for chemical coupling such as a maleimide, an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, a halogen-acetamide, an alkyl halogen, a Michael acceptor (wherein said Michael acceptor is preferably a vinyl-pyridine) and a group suitable for cycloaddition (wherein said group suitable P23-058 HDO for cycloaddition is preferably a ketone, hydrazone, semicarbazone, carboxylic acid, alkene or alkyne suitable for cycloaddition). Alternatively, the activator group may be an activator group for enzymatic coupling, such as a triple glycine GlyGlyGly (for sortase oder transglutaminase coupling) or a primary amine (for transglutaminase coupling). Subsequently, the activated intermediate compound is covalently linked to the second molecular part of the compound by a reaction of said activator group with an appropriate molecular group within the second part of the compound.

P23-058 HDO As used herein, an "antigen that is present on the surface of a target cell" is an antigen that is present on the surface of the target cell in such a manner that it is accessible from the extracellular environment (i.e. an antibody can bind to it from the extracellular environment). For example, CD8 is a transmembrane protein of cytotoxic T cells, and its extracellular domain is accessible for antibodies directed against the extracellular domain of CD8 from the extracellular environment. Thus, in the sense of the present disclosure, CD8 is an antigen that is present on the surface of cytotoxic T cells. In an embodiment, said "antigen that is present on the surface of a target cell" is a protein that is present on the surface of a target cell. An antibody "binds" an antigen of interest is an antibody that is capable of binding that antigen with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful in targeting to a cell expressing the antigen. If the present disclosure refers to a first molecule / molecular group (e.g. an antibody) "specifically binding" / that "specifically binds" to a second molecule / molecular group (e.g. an antigen of interest), this means that the first molecule / molecular group (in this example the antibody) binds to said second molecule / molecular group (in this example the antigen of interest) with an affinity that is at least ten-fold greater than its affinity for other molecules / molecular groups, in particular other molecule / molecular group in the human body (in this example at least ten-fold greater than its affinity for binding to non-specific antigens (e.g., BSA, casein) other than said antigen of interest (or closely related antigens)). In a preferred embodiment, a first molecule / molecular group (e.g. an antibody) that "specifically binds" to a second molecule / molecular group (e.g. an antigen of interest) binds to said antigen with an affinity that is at least 100-fold greater than its affinity for other molecules / molecular groups, in particular other molecule / molecular group in the human body (in this example at least 100-fold greater than its affinity for binding to non-specific antigens other than said antigen of interest (or closely related antigens)). Typically said binding will be determined under physiological conditions. A first molecule / molecular group that "specifically binds" to a second molecule / molecular group may bind to that second molecule / molecular group with a KD of 1x10-7M or stronger. An antibody that "specifically binds" to an antigen of interest may bind to that antigen with a KD of 1x10-7M or stronger. In some embodiments, said KD value is measured by kinetic measurements by biolayer interferometry at 25°C and 1000 rpm in KB Buffer (PBS + 0.1 % Tween-20 + 1% BSA).

Embodiment 158: The compound according to any one of embodiments 5 to 157, wherein said Ligand unit / said antibody is capable of specifically binding to a tumor antigen. As used herein, a "tumor antigen" is, in its broadest sense, an antigen that allows recruitment of a compound according to the present disclosure to the site of a tumor. Upon recruitment of said compound, a therapeutic action or diagnostic action (e.g. labelling of the tumor site) can be achieved. The tumor antigen may either be an antigen that is present on the surface of the tumor cells or an antigen associated with the tumor microenvironment. P23-058 HDO The term "tumor", as used herein, refers to an abnormal cell mass formed by neoplastic cell growth. A tumor can be benign or malignant. Preferably, in the present disclosure the term "tumor" refers to a malignant tumor. The tumor can for example be, but is not limited to, a tumor present in myeloma, hematological cancers such as leukemias and lymphomas (such as B cell lymphoma, T cell lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), sarcoma, lung cancer, liver cancer, or bladder cancer (see Rosenberg, Ann. Rev. Med. (1996), vol. 47, p. 481-491). As used herein, the term "cancer" refers to a malignant neoplasm. Cancer can include a hematological cancer or a solid tumor. For example, the cancer can be a leukemia (e.g., acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoma (e.g., non- Hodgkin lymphoma), lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer; NSCLC), ovarian cancer, or breast cancer. Preferably, in the present disclosure the term "cancer" refers to a solid malignant tumor. Non-limiting examples of tumor antigens are EGFR, c-MET and CEA5 (Carcinoembryonic antigen 5). Insofar as the designations of antigens indicated in the present disclosure are gene designations, these designations refer to the protein(s) encoded by said gene.

Embodiment 361: The compound according to any one of embodiments 3 to 360, wherein said compound comprises two different types of Functional agents. As the skilled person understands, this designates that the compound comprises two different types of functional agent. In other words, the compound comprises a functional agent with a certain structure, and in addition a second functional agents with a different structure. For example, the compound may comprise one type of duocarmycin and one type of maytansine, but in addition no other type of drug moiety or no other type of functional agent. Or, in another example, the compound may comprise two different types of duocarmycins, but in addition no other type of drug moiety and no other type of functional agent. Each of these two different types of functional agent (in the first example a type of duocarmycine and a type of maytansine; in the second example the two different types of duocarmycines) may be present in the compound in one or more copies. Embodiment 362: The compound according to any one of embodiments 3 to 360, wherein said compound comprises only one type of Functional agent.

Or, in another example, the compound may comprise one type of maytansine, but in addition no other type of maytansine, no other type of drug moiety and no other type of functional agent. The one type of functional agent (in the first example the one type of duocarmycin; in the second example the one type of maytansine) may be present in the compound in one or more copies. Embodiment 363: The compound according to any one of embodiments 1 to 362, wherein said compound is an ADC (antibody-drug conjugate). Embodiment 364: The compound according to any one of embodiments 5 to 363, wherein the Ligand unit is an antibody component (which functions as targeting antibody of the ADC) and the Functional agent is a drug payload (e.g. a cytotoxic agent). As used herein, an "antibody-drug conjugate" (abbreviated "ADC") is a molecule comprising an antibody as Ligand unit, a Linker unit, and a payload (either a drug moiety or a detectable agent) as Functional agent. The different components of the antibody-drug conjugate are covalently linked. By binding to its antigen, the antibody component of the ADC serves as targeting component that can direct the ADC to its target site. For example, if the antigen of the antibody component is a tumor antigen, the ADC will e.g. be directed to tumor cells expressing this tumor antigen at their cell surface. Upon recruitment of the ADC to the target site, the payload can mediate a therapeutic action (e.g. killing of a cancer cell, local reduction of an inflammation, local stimulation or suppression of the immune system). Non-targeted drugs typically reach their site of action by whole-body distribution and passive diffusion. In contrast, ADCs are targeted compounds that are not distributed evenly across the whole body. Due to the interaction of the antibody component with its target antigen, an ADC is concentrated preferentially at its site target site. Therefore, ADCs with a therapeutic agent as payload require lower dosages to be therapeutically effective, thus improving the therapeutic window. P23-058 HDO In many cases, upon binding to its target cell an ADC will be internalized into the cell, e.g. by receptor-mediated endocytosis. The Linker unit may be cleaved after cellular incorporation by enzymatic cleavage. Alternatively, the antibody may be degraded inside of the cell. In either case, the payload is released into the cellular interior. If the payload is a medical drug, it can then fulfill its therapeutic function inside of the cell. If the payload is a detectable agent the agent may be detected e.g. to identify the target site. Antibody-drug conjugates, their structure, preparation and use are described in detail e.g. in Antibody-Drug Conjugates: Fundamentals, Drug Development, and Clinical Outcomes to Target Cancer, 1st edition (2016), editors Olivier and Hurvitz, publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (U.S.); Toader, Topics in Medicinal Chemistry (2018), vol. 28 (Cancer II), p. 289-332; Chau, Lancet (2019), vol. 394 (10200), p. 793-804; Nimoy, Pharmaceuticals (2018), vol. 11 (2), p. 32 / 1-32 / 22; Fei et al., Journal of Biomedical Nanotechnology (2018), vol. 14(3), p. 405- 429; Gorka et al., Accounts of Chemical Research (2018), vol. 51(12), p. 3226-3235; Tiberghien et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry (2019), vol. 84(8), p. 4830-4836; Rohrer, in: Process Scale Purification of Antibodies, 2nd edition (2017), editor: Gottschalk, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., p. 595-614; Vaklavas and Forero, Methods in Molecular Biology (2012), vol. 899, p. 489-497. The term "payload", as used herein, refers to a chemical moiety that is conjugated to an antibody component as part of an antibody-drug conjugate. In the antibody-drug conjugate according to the present disclosure, the payload is linked to the antibody component by covalent binding through a linker. As described above, the payload in the ADC of the present disclosure (resp. the functional moiety) is a therapeutic agent or a detectable label. Upon recruitment of the ADC to its target site by binding of the antibody component to its target antigen, the payload can fulfill its function at the target site. For example, if the antibody component is specific for the tumor antigen, the payload may be a cytotoxic agent that kills tumor cells, e.g. a maytansinoid or duocarmycin. Or if the antibody component is specific for an antigen indicating inflammation, the payload may be an anti-inflammatory agent, e.g. a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist like cortisol or prednisolone. Or the payload may be a detectable agent that allows to detect the presence of the target antigen or identify the target site. The payload can be introduced into the ADC at different stages of preparation. In one approach, a linker-payload construct (i.e. a construct in which the payload is covalently linked to the P23-058 HDO linker) is synthesized by standard methods of organic chemistry (as shown in the examples) and subsequently this linker-payload payload construct is conjugated to the antibody component. However, the antibody component, linker and payload can also be prepared and conjugated in different order (e.g. the linker is conjugated to the antibody component and subsequently the payload attached to the linker). Different payloads, their preparation, conjugation and use in antibody-drug conjugates are described e.g. in Nicolaou et al., Accounts of Chemical Research (2019), vol. 52(1), p. 127- 139; Maderna et al., Molecular Pharmaceutics (2015), vol.12(6), p.1798-1812; Gromek et al., Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry (2014), vol. 14(24), p. 2822-2834. The ADC according to the present disclosure may comprise only one type of payload (i.e. one ADC molecule is linked to only one kind of payload, e.g. auristatin E, wherein one or more copies of the payload (in this example auristatin E) may be linked to the ADC molecule) or several types of payloads (i.e. one ADC molecule is linked to two or more kinds of payload, e.g. auristatin E and DM4, wherein one or more copies of each payload (in this example one or more copies of auristatin E and one or more copies of DM4) may be linked to the ADC molecule). Preferably, the antibody-drug conjugate according to the present disclosure comprises only one kind of payload. The copy number payloads linked to one ADC molecule (i.e. in the first example above the number of auristatin E molecules linked to one ADC molecule, and in the second example above the number of auristatin E molecules plus the number of DM4 molecules linked to one ADC molecule) is reflected in the drug-antibody ratio. As a skilled person will understand, in practice ADCs are often populations of molecules that slightly vary with regard to their characteristics. For example, a population of ADC molecules may for the most part include ADC molecules with 4 payloads per ADC molecule, but may also contain a small fraction of ADC molecules with 3 payloads and a small fraction of ADC molecules with 5 payloads per ADC molecule. In such a case where there is slight variation in an ADC population with regard to a characteristic, the numbers indicated below will typically relate to the rounded average number over the population. P23-058 HDO For the purposes of the present disclosure, a high homogeneity between the ADCs within the population of interest is usually desirable. A higher homogeneity can typically be achieved by additional steps of purification / separation, e.g. by HIC (hydrophobic interaction chromatography), SEC (size exclusion chromatography) and HPLC / reversed phase HPLC. The homogeneity of an ADC population can be determined e.g. by HIC, HPLC / reversed phase HPLC, SDS-PAGE analysis and MS (mass spectrometry) analysis. For an analysis differentiating between the antibody heavy and light chain, SEC under reducing conditions or SDS-PAGE followed by MS analysis can be carried out. The copy number payloads linked to one ADC molecule (i.e. in the first example above the number of auristatin E molecules linked to one ADC molecule, and in the second example above the number of auristatin E molecules plus the number of DM4 molecules linked to one ADC molecule) is reflected in the drug-antibody ratio. As used herein, the "drug-antibody ratio" of an ADC (abbreviated as "DAR") is the (average) number of payloads (or generally, Functional agents) per ADC molecule divided by the number of antibody components per ADC molecule. The DAR of an ADC can e.g. be determined by identifying the molecular components of an ADC molecule by mass spectrometry and subsequently dividing the number of Functional agents (e.g. drug moyeties or detectable labels, if the Functional agent is a detectable label) in an ADC molecule to the number of antibody components in the ADC molecule (the ADC according to the present disclosure contains one antibody component per ADC molecule). The DAR values of the embodiments defined below are preferably determined by this approach, i.e. calculated from structural information obtained by mass spectrometry. ADCs with different DAR can be prepared by linking different numbers of payloads to the ADC molecule. For example, a linker-payload construct including one payload copy per linker can be prepared, and subsequently multiple copies of this linker-payload construct are linked to each antibody component. The number of linker-payload constructs that are linked per antibody component can be influenced by the reaction conditions (e.g. the concentrations of the components, degree of activation of components, duration of conjugation reaction etc.), as known to a skilled person and described in Example 3 below.

Seventh aspect of the present disclosure (also referred to as "Embodiment 425"): According to a seventh aspect, the present disclosure relates to the use of a molecule in the preparation of a compound according to any one of embodiments 5 to 422, wherein said molecule comprises an Iduronide unit covalently linked to an activator group. Preparation of a compound according to the present disclosure may be achieved by "activating" the Linker unit or the Functional agent (i.e. by forming an intermediate with a reactive chemical P23-058 HDO group) and subsequently carrying out a reaction in which that activated intermediate is covalently linked to the other components of the compound according to the present disclosure. As used herein, an "activator group" is a reactive chemical group useful for covalently linking the Iduronide unit to another molecule, e.g. a Ligand unit (such as an antibody) or a Functional agent (e.g. a drug payload of an ADC), as defined in the present disclosure. Thus, the above- described molecule comprising an Iduronide unit covalently linked to an activator group can be used advantageously as a "building block" for the preparation of a compound according to the present disclosure by standard methods of synthetic organic chemistry. As the skilled person understands, the reactive groups must be selected based on compatibility and selectivity as described above for conjugation reactions. Said activator group may be an activator group for chemical coupling, such as a maleimide, an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, a halogen-acetamide, an alkyl halogen, a Michael acceptor (wherein said Michael acceptor is preferably a vinyl-pyridine) and a group suitable for cycloaddition (wherein said group suitable for cycloaddition is preferably a ketone, hydrazone, semicarbazone, carboxylic acid, alkene or alkyne suitable for cycloaddition). Alternatively, the activator group may be an activator group for enzymatic coupling, such as a triple glycine GlyGlyGly (for sortase oder transglutaminase coupling) or a primary amine (for transglutaminase coupling).

Embodiment 428: The use according to any one of embodiments 424 to 427, wherein said activator group is an activator group for enzymatic coupling. Embodiment 429: The use according to any one of embodiments 424 to 428, wherein said activator group is a triple glycine GlyGlyGly or a primary amine. Embodiment 430: The use according to any one of embodiments 424 to 429, wherein said activator group is a maleimide. Embodiment 431: The use according to any one of embodiments 424 to 430, wherein said molecule has a structure according to the following formula: (Formula 54). P23-058 HDO Eighth aspect of the present disclosure (also referred to as "Embodiment 432"): According to an eighth aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for increasing the cytotoxicity of a molecule, said molecule comprising a Ligand unit, wherein said method comprises covalently linking at least one Functional agent to said molecule, thus providing a compound according to any one of embodiments 5 to 422, wherein said Functional agent is a cytotoxic agent (i.e. a therapeutic agent which is a cytotoxic agent). If the present disclosure indicates that a modification or action is for "increasing the cytotoxicity of a molecule ", this refers to a situation where the cytotoxicity of said molecule after carrying out said method is higher than before carrying out said method. Preparation of a "compound in which said molecule is covalently linked to at least one Functional agent" may be achieved either by preparing and characterizing the individual components (i.e. the Ligand unit, Linker unit and Functional agent) as described above for the method for increasing the solubility of a molecule, and then linking them covalently. The order in which the individual components are linked is not limited. Thus, it is e.g. possible to prepare by methods of synthetic organic chemistry a Linker unit covalently linked to a Functional agent and conjugate this construct in a final step to the Ligand unit by standard methods of conjugation as described in the literature and in Example 1 below). Or it is possible to first prepare a Linker unit covalently linked to a Ligand unit and subsequently carry out a reaction for covalent attachment of a cytotoxic agent as Functional agent to the Ligand unit-Linker unit construct. For covalent linkage of the individual components, any standard methods of synthetic organic chemistry and enzymatic reactions can be used (e.g. Behrens et al., Molecular Pharmaceutics (2015), vol. 12(11), p. 3986-3998; Stefano, Methods in Molecular Biology (2013), vol. 1045, p. 145-171; Dickgiesser et al., in: Methods in Molecular Biology: Enzyme-Mediated Ligation Methods (2019), editors Nuijens and Schmidt, vol. 2012, p. 135–149; Dickgiesser et al., Bioconjugate Chem. (2020), vol. 31(4), p. 1070-1076)), provided that the chosen methods do not damage the molecular components to be linked. Confirmation of successful preparation of the compound according to the present disclosure including a cytotoxic agent and verification P23-058 HDO that inclusion of the Functional agent indeed results in an increased cytotoxicity can then be carried out as described above and in the examples. An increase of the cytotoxicity of a molecule A comprising a Ligand unit by covalent attachment of a molecule B can for example be determined in a tissue culture assay. Target cells to which said Ligand unit binds are cultured by ways of tissue culture. To the target cells, either said molecule A with molecule B covalently attached or said molecule A without molecule B covalently attached is added. Cytotoxicity can be determined by subsequently determining the microscope the number of target cells killed upon addition of said molecule A with resp. without molecule B covalently attached to it. If desired, non-target cells (i.e. cells to which said Ligand unit does not bind to) can be included in the experiment to determine the specificity of the observed effects. Nineth aspect of the present disclosure (also referred to as "Embodiment 433"): According to a nineth aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for increasing the cytotoxicity of a molecule, said molecule comprising a Ligand unit, but no Functional agent, wherein said method comprises the preparation of a compound according to any one of embodiments 5 to 422, wherein said Functional agent is a cytotoxic agent (i.e. a therapeutic agent which is a cytotoxic agent). Tenth aspect of the present disclosure (also referred to as "Embodiment 434"): According to a tenth aspect, the present disclosure relates to the use of a molecule comprising a Functional agent for increasing the cytotoxicity of a molecule comprising a Ligand unit, wherein said use involves the step of covalently linking at least one molecule comprising a Functional agent to said molecule comprising a Ligand unit, thus providing a compound according to any one of embodiments 5 to 422, wherein said Functional agent is a cytotoxic agent (i.e. a therapeutic agent which is a cytotoxic agent).

EXAMPLES The following examples describe the preparation and characterization of iduronidase-cleavable linkers as disclosed in the present disclosure, as well as related compounds (such as ADCs) and methods, along with comparative disclosure. It is understood that various embodiments of the disclosure reflected in the examples may be practiced, given the general description provided above. Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, the description and examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Example 1 Preparation of antibodies The antibody preparation was conducted as previously described (Jaeger et al., 2021). In brief, anti-Ceacam5 mAb was expressed by a transient transfection of heavy chains and light chains in Expi293F cells following the manufacturer’s instructions using the corresponding transfection kit and media from Life Technologies. Supernatant was harvested 5 days post transfection. Antibodies were purified by protein A affinity chromatography using HiTrap Mab Select SuRe 5 mL columns (GE Healthcare) and subsequently formulated in PBS at pH 6.8 P23-058 HDO using HiPrep 26 / 10 desalting columns using an ÄKTA Pure device (GE Healthcare). Antibody purity was analyzed by analytical SE-HPLC using a TSKgel SuperSW3000 column (Tosoh Bioscience) and by SDS gel electrophoresis. The identity of proteins was confirmed via an intact mass analysis by LC-MS using a TripleTOF 6600+ mass spectrometer (AB Sciex). Antibodies were concentrated using Ultra centrifugal filter units (3000 molecular weight cutoff (MWCO), Amicon) and sterile filtered, and the protein concentration was determined by UV−vis spectroscopy at 280 nm. Antibody fragments were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C. Cell lysate generation For the generation of cell lysates, cells (mononuclear cells (MNC, Lonza), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC, Charles River), normal human dendritic cells (NHDC, Lonza), normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK, Promo Cell), human umbilical vein (HUVEC, Lonza)) were harvested at 2000 rpm for 2 min, followed by application of three wash cycles with PBS. After final suspension of cells in 300 µL cell lysis buffer (100mM Na-Citrate, 1mM Na3-EDTA, 1% Octyl-ß-glucopyranoside pH 5.8), three consecutive freeze-thaw cycles were applied at -80 °C followed by removal of cell debris by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 12 min and final storage at -80 °C. In vitro drug release assay with cellular extracts Maleimide payload-linker constructs were quenched with N-acetylcysteine to avoid adduct formation. For this, 100 mM N-acetylcysteine solution was prepared in DI-water with 0.1 M Bis-Tris buffer pH 7.0, 15% (v / v) DMSO and 100 µM linker-payload. Samples were supplemented with 100 µM deuterated 7-ethyl-d3-camptothecin (D3-CPT) as an internal standard and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Afterwards, 5 µM quenched linker-payload and D3-CPT was incubated together with 20 µg cell lysate or lysosomal extract (Xenotech, H0610.L) in a total volume of 100 µL of catabolism buffer (Xenotech, pH 5.0) at 37 °C for up to 48 h. Time-series of 10 µL samples were taken, each mixed with 40 µl methanol supplemented with 1:200 Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Set III (Merck KGaA) for protein precipitation followed by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 5 min and quantification of Exatecan in the supernatant via LC-MS / MS. P23-058 HDO In vitro drug release assay with recombinant enzymes For cleavage assays, recombinant human α-L-Iduronidase (IDUA, R&D Systems) was incubated together with fluorescent substrates to demonstrate IDUA substrate specificity. The compound 4-methylumberlliferyl-α-L-iduronide (ChemCruz) served as substrate for IDUA. The compounds 4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucuronide (Sigma) and 4-Methylumbelliferyl-β- D-galactopyranoside (Sigma) were included as alternative substrates. In brief, IDUA and fluorescent substrates were separately diluted in respective assay buffers according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Enzyme and substrate containing assay buffers were combined on F16 Black Maxisorp Plates (Thermofisher) and fluorescence was measured on a plate reader (Synergy Neo2, Biotek) for 6 h at excitation and emission wavelengths of 365 and 445 nm, respectively. Substrate blank measurements without enzymes were included to calculate the specific activity. Besides fluorescence substrates, quenched linker-payloads were applied in cleavage assays with their specific enzymes (IDUA or recombinant human Cathepsin B (CatB, R&D Systems)). For IDUA cleavage, 5 µM quenched linker-payload was incubated with 0.25 ng / µL IDUA in 100 mM sodium acetate buffer at pH 4.5. For CatB cleavage, 0.25 ng / µL CatB was activated at room temperature with 2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) in 100 mM sodium acetate, 1 mM EDTA buffer at pH 5.0 for 20 min. Afterwards, 5 µM quenched linker-payload was added. Enzymatic reaction mixes were incubated at 37 °C for 3 h and the reaction was analyzed by LC-MS every 12 min to follow enzymatic cleavage. Separated analytes were detected at 360 nm. Peak integration and quantification were performed with the SCIEX OS software. Peak areas were normalized to the total peak area of the t0sample and plotted as percentage of peak area. Resulting curves were fitted and the degradation constants were calculated using the following coupled reaction kinetics: ADC preparation ADC preparation with constructs 12, 13, 14 was carried out as previously described (Jaeger et al., 2021; Kaempffe et al., 2021). Antibody was diluted to a final concentration of 5 mg / mL in 1 mM EDTA and partially reduced with an excess of 40 equiv of tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine (TCEP) for 2 h at 37 °C. TCEP was removed via two consecutive 5 mL HiTrap Desalting P23-058 HDO Columns (GE Healthcare), and the reduced antibody was reoxidized with 20 equiv of dehydroascorbic acid for 2 h at 25 °C. To this mixture, 8 equiv of linker payload (1, 2 or 3) were added and incubated for 1 h at 25 °C before the reaction was stopped by the addition of 25 equiv of N-acetylcysteine (15 min at 25 °C) and purified by preparative SEC. Preparative SEC was performed using a HiLoad Superdex 200 prep grade 16 / 60 column in a 1260 liquid chromatography system (Agilent Technologies) with PBS at pH 6.8 as a running buffer. Purified ADCs were concentrated using centrifugal filter units (Amicon) and sterile-filtered. Protein concentration was determined by UV−vis spectroscopy at 280 nm and purified conjugates were subjected to analysis by SE-HPLC and DAR determination (HI-HPLC, RP- HPLC, LC-MS) as described elsewhere (Dickgiesser et al., 2020), snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80 °C. Conjugation of MC-iduronide-duocarmycin (15) was conducted as previously described in Dickgiesser et al., 2020. In brief, site-specific conjugation of a reactive handle cysteamine to native glycosylated antibody was performed using engineered MTG (microbial transglutaminase), followed by drug-linker attachment in a second step. For the preparative conjugation of reactive handle cysteamine to native antibody via MTG, 34.4 µM (1 eq.) antibody was mixed with 20 eq. cysteamine and 100 U / mL MTG in buffer with 10% DMSO. The solution was incubated for 40 h at 37 °C with gentle shaking, stopped with MTG blocker (Zedira) and subjected to SEC purification. Resulting cysteamine-conjugate solution (34.4 µM, 1 eq.) was mixed with 40 eq. TCEP in PBS pH 7.4 containing 1 mM EDTA and incubated for 2 h at 37 °C for full reduction. Afterwards, TCEP was removed via desalting with PD MiniTrap column according to the manufacturer’s gravity protocol. The reaction mixture was concentrated using Amicon Ultra-2 concentrator units to a concentration >34.4 µM. Next, 20 eq. dhAA were added for re-oxidation and it was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C followed by the addition of 6 eq. of drug-linker (15) and incubation for 1 h at 25 °C. The reaction was quenched by addition of 25 eq. N-acetylcysteine and incubation for 0.5 h at 25 °C. The ADC was subsequently purified from the reaction mixture using SEC. Serum stability The serum stability assay was conducted as previously described (Dickgiesser et al., 2020; Jaeger et al., 2021; Kaempffe et al., 2021) applying some minor modifications: Exatecan conjugates were incubated at a final concentration of 5 μM conjugated exatecan (considering P23-058 HDO the DAR (drug antibody ratio) of each construct) in human, mouse and cyno serum. Moreover, serum samples were supplemented with 5 μM deuterated 7-ethyl-d3-camptothecin (D3-CPT) as an internal standard. Cancer cell cytotoxicity assay Cell culture was conducted as previously described (Jaeger et al., 2021): Human cancer cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (CEA5-positive: SK-CO-1, MKN-45, LS174T; CEA5-negative: MDA-MB-231) and maintained according to standard culture conditions (37 °C, 5% CO2, 95% humidity). SK-CO-1 cells were cultured in Minimum Essential Medium Eagle (Sigma-Aldrich, FG0325) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM L-glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. LS174T cells were cultured in Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium (DMEM) (Sigma-Aldrich, FG0435) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 1% (v / v) Non-Essential Amino Acid 100x mix (Sigma- Aldrich, M7145). MDA-MBA-231 cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. MKN-45 cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) (Sigma-Aldrich, FG1215) 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. For subculturing, adherent grown cells were detached by the addition of 0.05% trypsin−EDTA, diluted with fresh medium, and transferred into a new culturing flask. For the evaluation of exatecan and exatecan conjugates, 90 μL of viable cell (vc) suspension was seeded into 96-well plates (SK-CO-12,500 vc / well, MKN-45500 vc / well, LS174T 2,500 vc / well, negative MDA-MB-2311,500 vc / well) followed by incubation (37 °C, 5% CO2) in a humid chamber overnight. Test compounds were formulated at 10-fold the starting concentration, prepared in serial dilution (1:4) and 10 µL were added to cells for each dilution in triplicates. The cell viability was determined after six days using Cell Titer Glo reagent (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Luminescence values were measured using a Varioskan plate reader (Thermo Fisher) and normalized to the luminescence of nontreated cells. Dose response was fitted using the using log (inhibitor) vs. response variable slope 4-parameter fitting function of GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, Inc.). Data was depicted as % relative cell viability versus molar compound concentration. Error bars indicating standard deviation (SD) of triplicates. Geometric mean values of IC50s derived from multiple experiments were calculated. P23-058 HDO In vitro liver toxicity cell assay Primary Human Liver Sinusoidal Microvascular Endothelial Cells (LSECs; Cell system, ACBRI 566 V, Lot: 566.04.03.05.0M) and Primary Human Hepatocytes (PHH; Gibco, HMCPIS, Lot: HU1951) were cultured according to the manufacturer’s protocol. William’s E medium without phenol red (Gibco, A1217601) containing 1x Penicillin-Streptomycin (Sigma- Aldrich, P4333), 1x GlutaMax (Gibco, 3505-061), 1x ITS (Sigma-Aldrich, I3146), dexamethasone, ascorbic acid and 1% (v / v) (LSECs) or 5% (v / v) (PHH) Fetal Bovine Serum (Sigma-Aldrich, F2442) was used for plating. For co-culture, plating medium was supplemented with 2.3% (v / v) Matrigel. For LSEC monoculture, 10,000 cells / well (100 µL) were seeded into a 96 well plate (Nunc Maxisorp). For LSEC / PHH co-culture, 10,000 LSEC cells / well and 50,000 PHH cells / well (100 µL) were seeded into a 96 well plate. Cells were treated with ADCs (900 nM), exatecan (250 nM), metformin (500 µM) as negative control, and tamoxifen (1, 20, 60 µM) and staurosporine (0.001, 0.1, 5 µM) as positive controls. Cells were incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2for 24 h or 6 days (including medium exchange after 3 days), before ATP was measured using CellTiter-Glo assay (Promega, G7573) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cell viability (%) was calculated based on the ATP luminescence signal and normalized to untreated cells (100%). In vitro endothelial cell toxicity assay Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC; PromoCell, C-12203, Lot: 8071401) were cultured according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were diluted in Endothelial Cell Growth Medium MV (PromoCell, C-22020) and seeded into a 96 well plate (1000 cells / well, 100 µL / well). Cells were treated with ADCs (25 nM) or free exatecan (25 nM) at 37 °C, 5% CO2for 6 days before cell viability was analyzed using CellTiter-Glo assay (Promega, G7573) as described before. In vivo xenograft study Anti-tumor efficacy in vivo has been evaluated in the human gastric carcinoma xenograft model SNU-16. Six to eight week old immunodeficient female mice (C;129P2-H2d- TgH(II2rg)tm1Bm-TgH(Rag2)tm1AltN4) were injected subcutaneously in the right flank with 5 million SNU-16 cells. When tumors reached a mean volume of 139 mm³ (in the range of 105- 201 mm³, n=10 per treatment arm) mice were treated once intravenously with vehicle (saline P23-058 HDO solution; 5 ml / kg) or with aCEA-duocarmycin ADC (5 mg / kg; 5ml / kg). Tumor size and body weight were examined twice per week. Tumor length (L) and width (W) were measured with calipers and tumor volumes were calculated using L×W^2 / 2. Insofar as not noted otherwise, all methods in Examples 2 to 13 were carried out as described in Example 1. Example 2 Iduronidase substrate cleavage and reduced normal tissue RNA expression To evaluate the specificity of α-L-iduronidase substrate cleavage, recombinant α-L-iduronidase was co-incubated with fluorogenic substrates for α-L-iduronidase, β-D-glucuronidase, β- galactosidase. Substrate cleavage was measured by changes of relative fluorescence units over time (Figure 1 A). Interestingly, the iduronidase substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl α-L-iduronide (4-MU) was cleaved only by recombinant α-L-iduronidase, but did not serve as a substrate for β-D-glucuronidase and β-galactosidase, indicating great selectivity of IDUA substrate and enzyme. Cathepsin B is a prominent lysosomal protease known to catalyze drug release from approved ADCs, but is also known to be widely and highly expressed in both diseased tissues and normal healthy cells. mRNA expression profiles of both α-L-iduronidase and cathepsin B were evaluated in normal healthy cells and several tumor tissues (Figure 1 B-D). To this end, α-L- iduronidase mRNA expression was evaluated based on data from the GTEx database encompassing endothelial cells of different normal tissues, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and immune cells, representing the cell types most frequently affected by unspecific ADC uptake. The α-L-iduronidase mRNA expression was then compared to cathepsin B mRNA profiles (Figure 1 B and C). Surprisingly, α-L-iduronidase mRNA expression was much lower than cathepsin B mRNA expression profiles in all tissue and cell types. In a next step, α-L-iduronidase mRNA expression was determined also in primary human tumors (stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC)) and compared with normal adjacent tissues. α-L-iduronidase RNA expression levels were elevated in tumor samples P23-058 HDO compared to normal adjacent tissues (Figure 1 D), indicating elevated enzyme expression in diseased tissue compared to normal tissue. This implies the possibility that an iduronidase- cleavable linker could be used for the release of an efficacious dose of the cytotoxic drug in the tumor to kill the tumor cells while limiting the general toxicity to normal, healthy tissues. Overall, α-L-iduronidase substrate cleavage and reduced normal tissue α-L-iduronidase RNA expression suggest potential of iduronide-based ADC linkers to reduce side effects in healthy tissues. Example 3 Synthesis of linker-payload compounds for ADC generation Linker-payload compounds with different warhead moieties (exatecan, duocarmycin) were synthesized (Fig. 3). Besides iduronide-based linker-payloads (compounds 12 and 15), also compounds based on the cathepsin B-cleavable peptide-linkers VC, AAN were prepared as controls (compounds 13 and 14). The synthesis of the linker-payload MC-iduronide-exatecan (12) followed the scheme shown in Fig. 2. The synthesis of the protected iduronic acid precursor (2) has been previously described (Lee et al., 2004; Lu et al., 2013). 4-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-2-nitrophenol (3) was glycosylated with the protected iduronic acid precursor via a Mitsunobu reaction. The acetal protecting group was removed under acidic conditions and the resultant aldehyde was reduced to the primary alcohol (5) using sodium borohydride. In the next step, the nitro group was catalytically hydrated followed by coupling of the resultant amine to Fmoc protected glycine. To attach exatecan (8) to the linker portion via a carbamate functionality, the primary alcohol (6) was activated and reacted with the secondary amine of exatecan (8). Subsequently, acetyl, methoxy and Fmoc protecting groups were removed under basic conditions and in the last step the maleimide handle was attached to yield MC-iduronide-exatecan (12). Details of the different steps of the synthesis are described in detail below. P23-058 HDO 200 mg (0.598 mmol, 1 eq) hemiacetal (2), 190 mg (0.897 mmol, 1.5 eq) 4-(1,3-dioxolan-2- yl)-2-nitrophenol (3), and 299 mg polymer-bound triphenylphosphine (0. 897 mmol, 1.5 eq) were dissolved in 3 mL absolute dichloromethane under argon atmosphere and 141 μL (0.897 mmol, 1.5 eq) DEAD were added at 0 °C.

Example 4 Profiling of iduronidase-mediated iduronide drug-linker cleavage in direct comparison with peptide-based Cathepsin B-mediated cleavage The susceptibility of the iduronidase linker to enzymatic cleavage was evaluated by treatment of the cysteine adduct of compound 12 (16) with recombinant α-L-iduronidase (Figure 4A-C). To identify pH optima for recombinant α-L-iduronidase and recombinant cathepsin B as reference control, an HPLC assay at different pH levels was applied to monitor payload release rates from cysteine adducts of the iduronidase linker (16) or peptide linker (cys-13), respectively (Figure 4C). Correlation of applied pH with the cleavage rates (Kenz [1 / h]) indicated pH 4.5 and 5.0 as pH optima for α-L-iduronidase and recombinant cathepsin B, respectively. Next, an HPLC assay was applied to monitor the loss of the iduronide moiety (17, “intermediate”) and release of the free warhead (18, exatecan) (Figure 4A) at 37 °C and pH 4.5 (Figure 4C). Similarly, the cysteine adduct of a peptide linker (derivative of 13) was monitored during cleavage with recombinant cathepsin B at pH 5.0. The cleavage of iduronide from 16 resulted in the rapid formation of the exatecan intermediate (17) from which exatecan (18) was released in a following step by 1,6 elimination (18), as confirmed by LC-MS. Interestingly, an exatecan intermediate (17) was rapidly formed upon iduronide cleavage followed by rapid 1,6 elimination of exatecan (Figure 4, B). In a similar experiment with peptide linker cysteine adduct (cys-13) and cathepsin B treatment, no exatecan intermediate, but only the direct formation of free exatecan could be detected by LC-MS (18) with similar release kinetics when compared to the iduronide linker. Overall, it was demonstrated that the iduronide linker is a substrate for the recombinant α-L-iduronidase suggesting that the linker is likely also a substrate for the human lysosomal α-L-iduronidase. Moreover, it was shown that the payload was rapidly liberated upon iduronidase-mediated hydrolysis. P23-058 HDO Example 5 Profiling of iduronidase-mediated drug-linker cleavage in direct comparison with cathepsin B-mediated cleavage Uptake of intact ADCs into normal cells was described as main driver of ADC toxicity. ADCs enter lysosomal trafficking followed by the release of payloads from the ADC inside of non- targeted healthy cells, potentially leading to unwanted toxicities (Nguyen et al., 2023). Moreover, it was described that the linker component can contribute to ADC-induced toxicities as the lysosomal payload release rate impacts the concentration of free payload (Colombo and Rich, 2022). To explore whether iduronidase-mediated payload release could be reduced compared to legumain- (another peptidase which can be leveraged for prodrug cleavage) and / or cathepsin B-mediated release, payload liberation profiles were monitored in cell lysates or lysosomal extracts from different human normal cell types that served as model systems for tissues or cells often affected by ADC toxicity including hematopoietic cells (e.g. cells of myeloid lineage) or hepatocytes (Masters et al., 2018) (Figure 5 A and B). Cysteine adducts of iduronidase- (16) or peptide-linkers (cys-13 or cys-14) were applied in cell lysates from mononuclear cells (MNC), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), normal human dendritic cells (NHDC), normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK), human umbilical vein (HUVEC) cell or liver lysosomes. Payload (18, exatecan) liberation profiles were obtained for up to 48 h from quantification by LC-MS / MS and calculated as %total exatecan (5 µM = 100%). Interestingly, enhanced exatecan release from MC-K(Ac)VC-exatecan or MC-AAN-exatecan (cleavable by the enzyme legumain) compared to MC-iduronide-exatecan was observed which reflects reduced iduronidase concentration in cell lysates and lysosomal extracts (Figure 5 A and B). Moreover, these findings indicate that iduronidase-mediated payload release could be reduced in associated cell types and hence ADCs equipped with iduronidase-cleavable linkers may have the potential to reduce on-target toxicity effects. P23-058 HDO Example 6 Generation and stability assessment of peptide- and iduronid-based conjugates, exemplarily described for anti-CEACAM5(aCEA5)-based ADCs The ADC preparation with 12 (Figure 6A), 13, 14 was conducted as previously described (Jaeger et al. 2021; Kaempffe et al., 2021). Conjugation of MC-iduronide-duocarmycin (15) was conducted as previously described in Dickgiesser et al., 2020. Conjugation reactions resulted in homogenous ADCs of high purity (SEC (size exclusion chromatography) purities ranging between 93.6%-99.8% (Figure 6B)) with DARs ranging from 7.7 to 8.0 for conjugation of the interchain cysteines or a DAR of 2 for the MTG-catalyzed conjugations (Figure 6 B). For the produced ADCs, the apparent hydrophobicity was further analyzed using HIC (Figure 6 B). Interestingly, all ADC variants exhibited similar relative retention times (RRTs) by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) in the range of 1.05−1.38 when compared to ADCs equipped with Iduronid-based linkers (1.05 and 1.09), whereas ADCs equipped with peptide-based linkers showed higher HIC RRTs (1.22 and 1.38). Several studies have shown that conjugate pharmacokinetics and efficacy can strongly be influenced by serum stability (Dorywalska et al., 2015; Shen et al., 2012). Therefore, ADC stability was assessed in mouse, human and cynomolgus serum, followed by free payload determination using LC-MS / MS. Only minor amounts of payload (below 1% of total calculated conjugated payload) were released within 96 h of incubation indicating high in vitro serum stability for tested iduronide-ADC (Figure 6 C). Example 7 Iduronide-based and petide-based aCEA5-exatecan conjugates can specifically kill cancer cells in vitro with high potency Human cancer cell lines were used to assess the potential to kill cancer cells of aCEA5- iduronide-exatecan and aCEA5-K(Ac)VC-exatecan along with free exatecan as control. Both aCEA5-iduronide-exatecan and aCEA5-K(Ac)VC-exatecan ADCs showed sub-nanomolar in vitro potency against different CEACAM5-positive (SK-CO-1, MKN-45, LS174T) and minor effect on CEACAM5-negative cell lines (MDA-MB-231) (Figure 7B). As shown in the P23-058 HDO respective dose-response curves (Figure 7 A), aCEA5-iduronide-exatecan and aCEA5- K(Ac)VC-exatecan were very potent against CEACAM5-positive cell lines SK-CO-1, MKN- 45 and LS174T. In contrast, effects of aCEA5-iduronid-exatecan and aCEA5-K(Ac)VC- exatecan on antigen-negative MDA-MB-231 were limited to the highest concentrations tested (Figure 7 A). In conclusion, aCEA5-iduronide-exatecan specifically kills CEACAM5 expressing human cancer cell lines in vitro with high potency. Example 8 In vitro serum stability and in vitro killing of cancer cells by iduronide-based aEGFR- exatecan conjugates Characterization of iduronide-based conjugates included also the assessment of the stability in mouse serum followed by free payload determination using LC-MS / MS. Only minor amounts of payload (below 1% of total calculated conjugated payload) were released within 96 h of incubation indicating high in vitro serum stability for tested iduronide-ADC (Figure 8 A). Human cancer cell lines were used to assess the potential of aEGFR(anti-EGFR)-iduronide- exatecan and aEGFR-K(Ac)VC-exatecan to kill cancer cells, along with free exatecan as control. Both, the aEGFR-iduronide-exatecan and aEGFR-K(Ac)VC-exatecan ADCs showed sub-nanomolar in vitro potency against EGFR-positive MDA-MB-468 and minor effects on the EGFR-negative cell line A673 (Figure 8 B). As shown in dose-response curves (Figure 8 B), aEGFR-iduronide-exatecan and aEGFR-K(Ac)VC-exatecan were potent against the EGFR- positive cell line MDA-MB-468. In contrast, effects of aEGFR-iduronide-exatecan and aEGFR-K(Ac)VC-exatecan on antigen-negative MDA-MB-231 were limited to the highest concentrations tested (Figure 8). In conclusion, aEGFR-iduronide-exatecan specifically kills EGFR expressing human cancer cell lines in vitro with high potency, indicating broad applicability of the iduronide-based conjugates. P23-058 HDO Example 9 In vitro exatecan release in cell lysates. In most patients which undergo anti-EGFR therapy, dermatological on-target toxicity side effects occur, which takes the form of skin rashes and can impact the patient’s adherence to the therapy regime (Fakih et al., 2010). Side effects arise from effects on EGFR expressing keratinocytes in the basal layer in the epidermis, ultimately leading to various morphological effects like papulopustular eruption or xerosis, telangiectasias and pruritus. To evaluate the ADC payload linker cleavage in normal epidermal cells, cell lysates from primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) were chosen as model system (Figure 9). Payload liberation profiles for unconjugated iduronide-based structures compared to a peptide-based exatecan linker were obtained by calculating free exatecan (initial conc. ~10 µM exatecan) from normalized data. Interestingly, pronounced payload release was observed for peptide-based exatecan linker mediated payload liberation (~100% of initial total payload linker), while almost no payload release was observed for the iduronide-based structure (<1% of initial total payload linker) (Figure 9). In conclusion, greatly reduced payload liberation from iduronide-based structures in normal epidermal cells indicate a potential to reduce on-target toxicity effects for EGFR-directed ADCs. Example 10 An iduronide-based ADC conjugate can effectively kill cancer cells in vitro with high potency Iduronide-based aCEA5 duocarmycin conjugates were synthesize and successfully characterized in vitro, demonstrating the broad applicability of iduronide-based linkers. The CEA5-positive human cancer cell line MKN45 and the corresponding CEA5-negative MKN45- CEA5 knock-out cell lines were used to assess the potential of aCEA5-iduronide-duocarmycin along with free duocarmycin as control to kill cancer cells. The aCEA5-iduronide-duocarmycin ADC showed nanomolar in vitro potency against CEACAM5-positive MKN-45 cells and minor effect on CEACAM5-negative knock-out cells (MKN-45 CEA knock-out) (Figure 10). As shown in the respective dose-response curves (Figure 10), aCEA5-iduronide-duocarmycin P23-058 HDO ADC was very potent against the CEACAM5-positive cell line MKN-45. In contrast, effects of aCEA5-iduronide-duocarmycin ADC on antigen-negative MKN-45 CEA knock-out cells were limited to the highest concentrations tested (Figure 10). In conclusion, the resulting aCEA5-iduronide-duocarmycin ADC specifically killed CEACAM5 expressing human cancer cell lines in vitro with high potency, indicating potential broad applicability of the iduronide-based conjugates. Example 11 Cell killing effects of aCEA5-iduronide-exatecan in mono- and co-cultures To explore if reduced iduronidase mRNA expression (Figure 1) and reduced payload release profiles (Figure 5) may translate into beneficial reduction of cell killing effects, antigen- negative primary hepatocytes and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) were used along with the aCEA5-iduronide-exatecan ADC in cell viability assays. The potential of the aCEA5-iduronide-exatecan construct to mediate reduced cell killing effects was compared to peptide-linker-based exatecan ADCs including aCEA5-K(Ac)VC-exatecan and aCEA5-AAN-exatecan, along with free exatecan as a control (Figure 11, A and B). The aCEA5-iduronide-exatecan ADC showed reduced cell killing effects on mono- and co- cultured LSECs / hepatocytes and HUVESs, compared to the peptide-linker-based exatecan ADCs. These findings demonstrate that iduronide-based linkers can reduce toxicity effects on antigen-negative normal cells. Example 12 Efficacy of an iduronide-based ADC in a SNU-16 gastric cancer (GC) xenograft (CDX) mouse model Anti-tumor efficacy in vivo has been evaluated in the human gastric carcinoma xenograft model SNU-16. Six to eight week old immunodeficient female mice (C;129P2-H2d- TgH(II2rg)tm1Bm-TgH(Rag2)tm1AltN4) were injected subcutaneously in the right flank with 5 million SNU-16 cells. When tumors reached a mean volume of 139 mm³ (in the range of 105- P23-058 HDO 201 mm³, n=10 per treatment arm) mice were treated once intravenously with vehicle (saline solution; 5 ml / kg) or with aCEA-duocarmycin ADC (5 mg / kg; 5 ml / kg). Tumor length (L) and width (W) were measured with calipers and tumor volumes were calculated using L×W^2 / 2. Tumor size and body weight have been investigated twice per week. The single treatment with aCEA-duocarmycin ADC at a dose of 5 mg / kg led to a significant anti-tumor effect (Figure 12). Treatment with aCEA-duocarmycin ADC had no significant impact on body weight (data not shown). Example 13 Evaluation of the effect of an iduronidase-cleavable ADC on human neutrophil differentiation The neutrophil differentiation assay is performed to verify that an iduronidase-cleavable aCEA- duocarmycin ADC results in reduced toxicity effects on neutrophil cells, compared to an aCEA5-VC-duocarmycin ADC. The assay is performed according to Zhao et al., 2017 including the minor variations that X-Vivo serum free medium (ReachBio) and mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cells are used. In that manner, CD34+ cells (10,000 per well of a round bottom 96-well plate) are set up in a media formulation containing X-Vivo medium with rhFLT- 3 ligand, rhSCF, rhIL-3 and rhIL-6 for 3 days. The plates are then washed and new X-Vivo medium containing rhFLT-3 ligand, rhSCF, rhIL-3, rhGM-CSF and rhG-CSF is applied for 4 days. The plates are then washed again and the cells are resuspended in X-vivo containing rhIL- 3 and rhG-SCF for an additional 4 days. The plates are then washed one last time and the cells are resuspended in X-Vivo medium containing just rhG-CSF. At this time point, iduronidase- cleavable aCEA-duocarmycin ADC or aCEA5-VC-duocarmycin ADC or free duocarmycin payload as control are added for 6 days (6 concentrations in triplicate). Appropriate solvent controls are included as well. The percentage and number of CD66b+ cells are analyzed by flow cytometry. In comparison to the aCEA5-VC-duocarmycin ADC, the iduronidase-cleavable aCEA- duocarmycin ADC shows decreased in vitro potency against neutrophil cells indicating the potential to reduce undesired toxicity side effects on cells of the neutrophil cell lineage.
