AI Technical Summary
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is an autoimmune disease with no cure, characterized by renal damage from galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) immune complexes, necessitating new treatments to address this progression.
Development of bifunctional molecules that bind and degrade galactose-deficient immunoglobulins through a glycan-specific IgG antibody portion and a cell receptor binding moiety, targeting hepatocytes via the asialoglycoprotein receptor to remove Gd-IgA1 from circulation.
The molecules effectively reduce Gd-IgA1 levels, attenuating IgAN symptoms and potentially curing or eliminating the disease by selectively binding and degrading the harmful immunoglobulins.

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 159,383, filed March 10, 2021, and any and all benefits arising therefrom under 35 U.S.C. § 119, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0002] The present invention relates to bifunctional molecules containing a circulating protein-binding moiety linked to a cell receptor-binding moiety via a linker group. Specifically, the present invention relates to bifunctional molecules containing a circulating protein-binding moiety that binds to galactose-deficient immunoglobulins. [Background technology]
[0003] IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is an autoimmune disease characterized by circulating nephritogenic immune complexes composed of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and glycan-specific IgG antibodies. These immune complexes accumulate in the glomerular mesangium and induce the mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis characteristic of IgAN, which is responsible for renal damage. This hypothesis is supported by the finding that IgG is enriched for Gd-IgA1-specific antibodies in renal immune deposits in patients with IgA neuropathy. Furthermore, serum levels of Gd-IgA1 (an autoantigen) and the corresponding autoantibodies have been found to correlate with the severity and progression of IgAN, respectively. Suzuki et al., “Aberrantly glycosylated IgA1 in IgA nephropathy patients is recognized by IgG antibodies with restricted heterogeneity,” J. Clin. Invest. 2009, 119(6), 1668-1677 (Appendix A), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0004] A recent study provided in vivo evidence for the nephritogenic role of IgG autoantibodies in IgAN. This study showed that immune complexes formed from human IgG autoantibodies and Gd-IgA1 injected intravenously into mice caused glomerular injury. The histopathological changes in the damaged tissue were characteristic of IgAN. Exploratory kidney-transcriptome profiling showed that these immune complexes altered gene expression in multiple pathways consistent with changes observed in kidney biopsies from patients with IgAN. Moldoveanu et al., "Experimental evidence of pathogenic role of IgG autoantibodies in IgG nephropathy," J. Autoimmun. 2021, 118, 102593 (Appendix B), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0005] IgAN is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide for which there is currently no cure. Therefore, there remains a need for new medicines that can treat the disease or slow its progression. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention is directed to bifunctional molecules that are capable of binding and degrading galactose-deficient immunoglobulins.
[0007] In one embodiment, the drug is a glycan-specific IgG antibody portion; a cell receptor binding moiety that binds to hepatocytes or other lysed cells via the hepatocyte asialoglycoprotein (ASGPR) receptor or other cell receptor on the surface of lysed cells in a patient or subject; Optionally, an agent is provided that includes a linker moiety connecting the glycan-specific IgG antibody moiety and the cell receptor binding moiety.
[0008] In another embodiment, a method is provided for removing galactosyl IgA1 in a patient or subject in need thereof by administering an agent to the mammal.
[0009] In another embodiment, a method is provided for treating a disease state and / or condition associated with upregulation of galactosyl IgA1 in a patient or subject in need thereof by administering an effective amount of an agent to the mammal.
[0010] In another embodiment, a composition is provided that includes a drug and at least one additional drug that includes a moiety that can bind to an antibody that forms the antibody portion of the first compound. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] The following detailed description is provided to assist those skilled in the art in practicing the present invention. Exemplary embodiments are described in detail hereinafter. However, these embodiments are exemplary only, and the disclosure is not limited thereto, but rather is defined by the scope of the appended claims. Those skilled in the art may make modifications and variations in the embodiments described herein without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure.
[0012] Accordingly, embodiments are described below merely by reference to structures and schemes to illustrate aspects of the specification. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. The term "or" means "and / or." Phrases such as "at least one of" preceding a list of elements modify the entire list of elements, and not individual elements of the list.
[0013] When an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it will be understood that it may be in direct contact with the other element, or there may be intervening elements between them. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there are no intervening elements present.
[0014] Terms such as first, second, and third may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and / or sections, but it should be understood that these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, or section discussed below could be referred to as a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the present embodiments.
[0015] As used herein, the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising" or "includes" and / or "including" specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but are to be understood as not excluding the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.
[0016] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is intended only to describe particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. Terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted to have a meaning consistent with their meaning in the relevant technical field and in the context of this disclosure, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined herein.
[0017] As used in this application, except as expressly provided herein, each of the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below. Additional definitions are set forth throughout this application. If a term is not specifically defined herein, the term will be given the art-recognized meaning by those of ordinary skill in the art applying the term in connection with its use in describing the present invention.
[0018] The articles "a" and "an" refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. By way of example, "an element" means one element or more than one element.
[0019] Additional aspects are set forth in part in the description that follows, and in part will be apparent from the description.
[0020] In one embodiment, the drug is an antibody binding moiety; a cell receptor binding moiety that binds to hepatocytes or other lysed cells via the hepatocyte asialoglycoprotein (ASGPR) receptor or other cell receptor on the surface of lysed cells in a patient or subject; Optionally, an agent is provided that includes a linker moiety connecting the antibody moiety and the cell receptor binding moiety.
[0021] The antibody-binding moiety may be a glycan-specific IgG antibody moiety. The glycan-specific IgG antibody moiety may be configured to bind to galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1). In certain embodiments, the glycan-specific IgG antibody moiety may be a recombinant IgG antibody moiety (rIgG). In other embodiments, the glycan-specific IgG antibody moiety may be isolated from the serum of a patient with IgA nephropathy.
[0022] The presently claimed bifunctional compounds selectively bind to circulating galactose-deficient IgA1, forming a protein complex that then binds to a cellular receptor, is endocytosed, and degraded. As a result of this mechanism, galactose-deficient IgA1 is removed from the circulation by hepatocytes, macrophages, or other cell types, thus reducing the level of galactose-deficient IgA1 and potentially alleviating IgAN symptoms. In certain cases, galactose-deficient IgA1 may be removed, resulting in a substantial reduction, or even cure or elimination, of the symptoms of IgAN.

[0180] Those skilled in the art will understand that the provided agents may contain one or more stereocenters and may exist as racemic or diastereomeric mixtures. Those skilled in the art will also understand that there are many methods known in the art for the separation of isomers to obtain stereochemically enriched or stereochemically pure isomers of those compounds, including, but not limited to, HPLC, chiral HPLC, fractional crystallization of diastereomeric salts, kinetic enzymatic resolution (e.g., lipases or esterases of fungal, bacterial, or animal origin), and the formation of covalent diastereomeric derivatives using enantioenriched reagents.
[0181] Those skilled in the art will understand that various functional groups present in the compounds of the present disclosure, such as aliphatic groups, alcohols, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, aldehydes, halogens, and nitriles, can be interconverted by techniques well known in the art, including, but not limited to, reduction, oxidation, esterification, hydrolysis, partial oxidation, partial reduction, halogenation, dehydration, partial hydration, and hydration. See "March's Advanced Organic Chemistry," 5 th Ed., Ed.: Smith, M. B. and March, J., John Wiley & Sons, New York: 2001, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Such interconversions may require one or more of the techniques described above, and specific methods for synthesizing compounds of the disclosure are described in the Examples below.
[0182] As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the reaction partners are generally contacted with one another under conditions and for a time sufficient to produce a desired result, e.g., to form a product drug and compositions thereof to the desired extent. Many reaction conditions / reaction times may be evaluated and utilized in accordance with the present disclosure, provided they are suitable for the desired purpose; specific such conditions, reaction times, evaluations, etc. are described in the Examples.
[0183] In some embodiments, the drug formed, e.g., the product MATE drug, has a structure of formula M-I or M-II, or a salt thereof. In some embodiments, the cell receptor binding moiety in the product drug (e.g., a MATE drug) is the same as the cell receptor binding moiety in the reaction partner (e.g., a first drug comprising the cell receptor binding moiety) utilized to prepare the product drug. In some embodiments, the antibody moiety in the product drug (e.g., a MATE drug) is the same as the antibody moiety in the reaction partner (e.g., a second drug comprising the antibody moiety) utilized to prepare the product drug.
[0184] In some embodiments, the linker moiety (or a portion thereof) connected to the target binding moiety and / or antibody moiety is a linker moiety that is linked to a reactive partner (e.g., L of formula RI) RM or a salt thereof). In some embodiments, the linker moiety (L PM (e.g., L in formula M-I or M-II) refers to a linker moiety (e.g., between a reactive group and a cell receptor binding moiety, e.g., L RM In some embodiments, L PM L RM In some embodiments, L is or comprises PM -L RM -L RG2 In some embodiments, L RG2 is —C(O)—. In some embodiments, L RG2 is —C(O)— and is attached to —NH— of the targeting agent moiety, e.g., —NH— in the side chain of a lysine residue of the protein moiety, which in some embodiments is an antibody moiety.
[0185] The reactive partner, e.g., a compound of Formula RI or a salt thereof, typically does not contain a moiety capable of reacting with the reactive group under conditions in which the reactive group reacts with a targeting drug. In some embodiments, to the extent that some moieties in the reactive partner are capable of reacting with the reactive group under conditions in which the reactive group reacts with a targeting drug, the reaction between such moieties and the reactive group is significantly slower and / or less efficient than the reaction between the reactive group and the targeting drug. In some embodiments, the reaction between such moieties and the reactive group does not significantly reduce the efficiency, yield, rate, and / or conversion rate, etc., of the reaction between the reactive group and the targeting drug (e.g., by no more than about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, etc.). In some embodiments, the reactive group (e.g., an ester group, an activated carboxylic acid derivative, etc.) reacts with an amino group (e.g., an —NH group) of a targeting drug (e.g., a protein drug such as an antibody drug). In some embodiments, the reaction partner, e.g., a compound of formula RI or a salt thereof, does not contain an amine group. In some embodiments, a compound of formula RI or a salt thereof (or a portion thereof, e.g., R LG , L LG , L LG1 , L LG2 , L LG3 , L LG4 , L RG1 , L RG2 , L RM , and / or MOI) do not contain amine groups. In some embodiments, they do not contain primary amine groups (—NH). In some embodiments, they do not contain —CHNH. In some embodiments, they do not contain —CHCHNH. In some embodiments, they do not contain —CHCHCHNH. In some embodiments, they do not contain —CHCHCHCHNH. In some embodiments, they do not contain —CHCHCHCHNH. In some embodiments, amine groups, e.g., primary amine groups, are capped (e.g., by introduction of an acyl group (e.g., RC(O)— (e.g., acetyl)) to form an amide group) to prevent or reduce undesired reactions.
[0186] In some embodiments, the reaction is carried out in a buffer system. In some embodiments, the buffer system of the present disclosure maintains the structure and / or function of the targeting agent, cell receptor binding moiety, etc. In some embodiments, the buffer is a phosphate buffer. In some embodiments, the buffer is a PBS buffer. In some embodiments, the buffer is a borate buffer. In some embodiments, the buffer of the present disclosure provides, and optionally maintains, a specific pH value or range. For example, in some embodiments, a useful pH is about 7-9, e.g., 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 9.0, etc. In some embodiments, the pH is 7.4. In some embodiments, the pH is 7.5. In some embodiments, the pH is 7.8. In some embodiments, the pH is 8.0. In some embodiments, the pH is 8.2. In some embodiments, the pH is 8.3.
[0187] The provided technology can offer various advantages. Notably, in some embodiments, the connection of a cell receptor-binding moiety in a reaction partner (e.g., a compound comprising a reactive group located between the antibody-binding moiety and the cell receptor-binding moiety (e.g., a compound of formula RI or a salt thereof)) to a drug comprising an antibody moiety (e.g., a second drug such as an antibody drug), and the release of the antibody-binding moiety in the provided reaction partner can be accomplished in one reaction and / or one pot. Thus, in many embodiments, a separate reaction / step to remove the antibody-binding moiety is not performed. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, by performing the attachment of the cell receptor binding moiety and the release of the antibody-binding moiety in a single reaction / operation, the provided techniques can avoid a separate step for antibody-binding moiety removal, improving overall efficiency (e.g., by simplifying the operation, increasing overall yield, etc.), reducing production costs, and improving product purity (e.g., by avoiding exposure to antibody-binding moiety removal conditions, which typically involve one or more of conditions such as reduction, oxidation, hydrolysis (e.g., ester groups), etc., and which may damage the target drug moiety (e.g., protein drug moiety, protein amino acid residues, overall structure, and / or post-translational modifications (e.g., glycans of an antibody)). In some embodiments, among other things, the provided techniques can provide improved efficiency (e.g., in terms of reaction rate and / or conversion percentage), increased yield, increased purity / homogeneity, and / or enhanced selectivity, especially compared to reference techniques in which reaction partners that do not contain the antibody-binding moiety are used and which do not introduce a step for antibody-binding moiety removal (e.g., in which the antibody-binding moiety is removed in the same step as cell receptor binding moiety conjugation).
[0188] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides, inter alia, products of the provided processes that include a lower level of damage to the antibody moiety compared to processes that include steps performed for the removal of the antibody-binding moiety but not for the substantial conjugation of the moiety of interest (e.g., target-binding moiety). In some embodiments, the provided product drug compositions have a higher degree of uniformity (e.g., with respect to the number of cell receptor-binding moieties per antibody moiety and / or the position of the amino acid residue in the antibody moiety conjugated to the moiety of interest) compared to a reference product composition (e.g., from a technology that does not use an antibody-binding moiety or that utilizes an additional step for antibody-binding moiety removal (e.g., that does not utilize a reaction partner described herein that includes a reactive group located between the antibody-binding moiety and the cell receptor-binding moiety)).
[0189] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides product drugs that are drugs comprising an antibody portion, a cell receptor binding portion, and optionally a linker portion connecting the antibody binding portion and the cell receptor binding portion, hi some embodiments, the present disclosure provides compositions of such drugs.
[0190] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a composition comprising multiple agents, each agent independently: an antibody portion; and a cell receptor binding portion; Optionally, a linker moiety connecting the antibody-binding moiety and the cell receptor-binding moiety is provided.
[0191] In some embodiments, the product drug is a MATE drug. In some embodiments, the antibody drug portion comprises an IgG Fc region. In some embodiments, the antibody portion is connected to the cell receptor binding portion through an amino group, optionally via a linker. In some embodiments, it is through a lysine residue whose side chain amino group is connected to the cell receptor binding portion (e.g., as part of an amide group, carbamate group, etc., to form -NH-C(O)), optionally via a linker.
[0192] In some embodiments, selected positions of the antibody moiety are utilized for conjugation, for example, in some embodiments, K246 or K248 (EU numbering, or corresponding residues) of an antibody agent is a conjugation position. In some embodiments, the conjugation position is K246 of the heavy chain (unless otherwise specified, positions herein include, for example, the corresponding residue in a modified sequence (e.g., a longer, shorter, rearranged, etc. sequence). In some embodiments, the position is K248 of the heavy chain. In some embodiments, the position is K288 or K290 of the heavy chain. In some embodiments, the position is K288 of the heavy chain. In some embodiments, the position is K290 of the heavy chain. In some embodiments, the position is K317. In some embodiments, the antibody moiety is a portion of an IgG1 antibody or fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the antibody moiety is a portion of an IgG2 antibody or fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the antibody moiety is a portion of an IgG4 antibody or fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the composition comprises multiple MATE agents, and the antibody moieties of the multiple MATE agents are independently antibody moieties of an IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4 antibody, or fragment thereof.
[0193] In some embodiments, the antibody heavy chain is selectively conjugated / labeled over the light chain.
[0194] Among other things, the present disclosure can provide controlled cell receptor binding moiety (e.g., cell receptor binding moiety) / antibody moiety ratios (e.g., when the cell receptor binding moiety is a peptide cell receptor binding moiety, peptide cell receptor binding moiety / antibody ratio (PAR)). In some embodiments, the ratio is from about 0.1 to 10, 0.5 to 6, etc., e.g., about 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, or 0.9 to about 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 21.0, 22.0, 23.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0, 27.0, 28.0, 29.0, 29.0, 30.0, 31.0, 32.0, 33.0, 34.0, 35.0, 36.0, 37.0, 38.0, 39.0, 40.0, 41.0, 42.0, 0.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, about 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc.).

[0302] The present invention is further illustrated by the following non-limiting examples. [Example]
[0303] Proper protein aging and turnover are processes necessary for maintaining homeostasis. Newly synthesized proteins targeted for secretion are first trafficked to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are post-translationally modified with N-linked glycan chains terminating in sialic acid. As proteins age, terminal sialic acid residues are removed by circulating endogenous glycosidases. This natural protein aging process unmasks galactose and N-acetylgalactose (GalNAc) residues that bind to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) on the surface of hepatocytes. ASGPR is a C-type lectin that removes aged circulating proteins with exposed GalNAc residues from the circulation by trafficking them to lysosomes. Multiple galactose or GalNAc residues displayed on the protein surface are required for high-affinity binding to and subsequent endocytosis by the ASGPR. Once these proteins are endocytosed, they are released from the ASGPR by calcium depletion from the endosome and changes in binding site amino acid protonation due to a drop in pH, which then recycles the ASGPR back to the hepatocyte surface. Endocytosed proteins are trafficked to late endosomes, where they fuse with lysosomes. Lysosomal proteases then degrade the endocytosed proteins, permanently removing them from circulation (M).
[0304] Non-glycosylated proteins (e.g., immunoglobulins) are not known to be natural targets of ASGPR. One such protein is galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1), which has been shown to be involved in the pathophysiology of IgA nephropathy. We propose a bifunctional molecule for degrading circulating Gd-IgA1 that utilizes ASGPR as a pathway for protein entry into the endosomal-lysosomal degradation pathway.
