Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biopharmaceuticals, and in particular to methods for preparing and using antibody-drug conjugates. [Background technology]
[0002] Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) as novel targeted therapeutic agents deliver drugs to the affected area via suitable carriers. However, due to technical limitations of antibodies and highly active cytotoxic drugs, only a limited number of ADCs have been approved for market launch, and rapid development is needed for the application of ADCs in the field of tumor therapy.
[0003] ADC drugs require cytotoxic substances to exert their effects, and camptothecin drugs have great prospects for application. Trodelvy and Enhertu, which have launched ADC drugs, use camptothecin drugs SN38 and DX-8951f as warhead molecules, respectively. However, the ADC finally prepared through camptothecin drugs has significantly changed the properties of monoclonal antibodies, and the stability and half-life have been greatly shortened. In the DESTINY-Breast03 clinical trial, the objective response rate (ORR) confirmed by Enhertu reached 79.7%, but according to the DS8201-A-J101 clinical trial, the objective response rate (ORR) confirmed by Enhertu for HER2 low-expressing breast cancer was 37.0%, and the treatment efficacy rate was significantly lower than that of high-expressing or medium-expressing breast cancer. In addition, ADC drugs have new symptoms in terms of toxic side effects, such as side effects such as pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia caused by the drug Enhertu. Patent Document 1 discloses a camptothecin compound containing a valine-citrulline (Val-Cit)-PAB linker, but the molecule cannot be conjugated with an antibody to obtain a quality-qualified ADC molecule (the aggregate content in a qualified ADC product is less than 5%). Therefore, it is an urgent task in this field to provide a more suitable antibody-drug conjugate based on camptothecin drugs (such as exatecan, belotecan, etc.), achieve efficient, simple and practical chemical preparation and conjugation, and improve the pharmaceutical properties, metabolic properties, efficacy and safety of conventional antibody-drug conjugates (such as improving the molecular stability of ADC, widening the therapeutic window, etc.).

[0005] [Non-Patent Document 1] Protein Science,1995,vol.4,2411-2423 Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present application provides antibody-drug conjugates, their intermediates, preparation methods and uses. The antibody-drug conjugates of the present application can realize the wide application of cytotoxic drugs in the ADC field to treat tumor diseases. The main technical effect of the present application is that the novel linker provided can bind highly hydrophobic antitumor drugs (such as topoisomerase inhibitors exatecan and belotecan) to antibodies through a specific chemical method, and the resulting conjugates have high hydrophilicity and stability; compared with conventional ADC linkers, the linkers provided in the present application make the antibody conjugates less likely to form aggregates at high drug-antibody ratios; compared with the same ADC drug, the toxin molecules released by the present application are the original molecules of topoisomerase inhibitors exatecan and belotecan, and tests have shown that the drug molecules have better biological activity, safety and other drug-related properties than the drug derivatives released by the same ADC drug. Therefore, the present application is capable of extending the in vivo half-life of the drug and increasing the drug concentration in tumor tissue, thereby improving the antitumor activity of the drug and / or widening the therapeutic window of the entire drug.

[0340] Preparation of antibody conjugate 13 The stock solution of hRS7 monoclonal antibody targeting Trop-2 was dialyzed into 50 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4) / 50 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), pH 7.0 buffer. After measuring the monoclonal antibody concentration in the solution, the antibody was diluted to 5 mg / mL with the above buffer. The reaction tube was placed in an ice bath and cooled for 10 minutes. Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) was added in a molar ratio of 2.5 times, and the reaction solution was stirred at 4°C overnight. After adding an appropriate amount of dimethylacetamide (DMA) to the above unpurified reaction solution, a 6.0-fold molar excess of the control drug molecule or drug linker conjugate A-11 (10 mM dissolved in DMA in advance) was added, so that the volume ratio of DMA in the reaction system did not exceed 10%, and the conjugation was carried out by stirring at 4°C for 2 hours. After the conjugation was completed, a 4.0-fold molar amount of cysteine small molecule was added to the reaction solution to consume excess drug-linker conjugate A-11, and the reaction was stopped by stirring at 4°C for 30 minutes. The conjugation reaction mixture was filtered and purified with histidine-acetic acid / sodium chloride at pH 5.5 using a desalting column, and the filtered sample was collected. A suspension of activated carbon-histidine-acetic acid / sodium chloride (300 mg / mL) was added to the sample in an amount of 1 / 10 of the volume, and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours to fully absorb the free drug small molecule. It was then sterilized by passing through a 0.22 micron filter and stored at -80°C. The aggregate content was analyzed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC-HPLC), and the analytical spectrum is shown in Figure 25. The purity of the antibody conjugate 13 monomer was 98.95%.
[0341] The bound drug concentration in the antibody-drug complex can be calculated as follows by measuring the ultraviolet absorbance of an aqueous solution of the antibody-drug complex at wavelengths of 280 nm and 370 nm.
[0342] The total absorbance at a given wavelength is equal to the sum of the absorbance of all light-absorbing chemicals in the system (additivity of absorbance). Therefore, assuming that the molar extinction coefficients of the antibody and drug do not change before and after binding, the antibody and drug concentrations in the antibody-drug complex are expressed by the following equations:
[0343]
number
[0344] ε A,280 can be estimated from the amino acid sequence of the antibody by a known calculation method (Non-Patent Document 1), and ε A,370 is generally zero. From the absorbance of a solution of the drug-linker conjugate at a particular molar concentration, ε can be calculated based on the Beer-Lambert law: D,280 and ε D,370 Obtain the A using a microplate reader or UV spectrophotometer. 280 and A 370 The value of is measured, and by substituting the above four molar extinction coefficient values into the simultaneous equations (1) and (2), C A and C D The average number of drug molecules bound to each antibody molecule can be calculated as DAR = C D / C A The ultraviolet absorption coefficient of compound A-11 is ε D,280 = 6480, ε D,370= 16483, which was used to calculate the drug-antibody ratio in this example, and the DAR value of antibody conjugate 13 was approximately 4.0.
[0345] Preparation of antibody conjugate 14 The stock solution of hRS7 monoclonal antibody targeting Trop-2 was dialyzed into 50 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4) / 50 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), pH 7.0 buffer. After measuring the monoclonal antibody concentration in the solution, the antibody was diluted to 5 mg / mL with the above buffer. The reaction tube was placed in an ice bath and cooled for 10 minutes. Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) was added in a molar ratio of 2.5 times, and the reaction solution was stirred at 4°C overnight. After adding an appropriate amount of dimethylacetamide (DMA) to the above unpurified reaction solution, a 6.0-fold molar excess of the control drug molecule or drug linker conjugate A-14 (10 mM pre-dissolved in DMA) was added, so that the volume ratio of DMA in the reaction system did not exceed 10%, and the conjugation was carried out by stirring at 4°C for 2 hours. After the conjugation was completed, a 4.0-fold molar amount of cysteine small molecule was added to the reaction solution to consume excess drug-linker conjugate A-14, and the reaction was stopped by stirring at 4°C for 30 minutes. The conjugation reaction mixture was filtered and purified with histidine-acetic acid / sodium chloride at pH 5.5 using a desalting column, and the filtered sample was collected. A suspension of activated carbon-histidine-acetic acid / sodium chloride (300 mg / mL) was added to the sample in an amount of 1 / 10 of the volume, and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours to fully absorb the free drug small molecule. It was then sterilized by passing through a 0.22 micron filter and stored at -80°C. The content of aggregates was analyzed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC-HPLC), and the analytical spectrum is shown in Figure 26. The purity of the antibody conjugate 14 monomer was 98.20%. The ultraviolet absorption coefficient of compound A-14 is ε D,280 =5932, ε D,370 = 14997, which was used to calculate the drug-antibody ratio in this example, giving a DAR value of about 4.2 for antibody conjugate 14.
[0346] Preparation of antibody conjugate 15 The stock solution of hRS7 monoclonal antibody targeting Trop-2 was dialyzed into 50 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4) / 50 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), pH 7.0 buffer. After measuring the monoclonal antibody concentration in the solution, the antibody was diluted to 5 mg / mL with the above buffer. The reaction tube was placed in an ice bath and cooled for 10 minutes. Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) was added in a molar ratio of 2.5 times, and the reaction solution was stirred at 4°C overnight. After adding an appropriate amount of dimethylacetamide (DMA) to the above unpurified reaction solution, a 6.0-fold molar excess of the control drug molecule or drug linker conjugate A-24 (10 mM pre-dissolved in DMA) was added, so that the volume ratio of DMA in the reaction system did not exceed 10%, and the mixture was stirred at 4°C for 2 hours to allow binding. After the conjugation was completed, a 4.0-fold molar amount of cysteine small molecule was added to the reaction solution to consume excess drug-linker conjugate A-24, and the reaction was stopped by stirring at 4°C for 30 minutes. The conjugation reaction mixture was filtered and purified with histidine-acetic acid / sodium chloride at pH 5.5 using a desalting column, and the filtered sample was collected. A suspension of activated carbon-histidine-acetic acid / sodium chloride (300 mg / mL) was added to the sample in an amount of 1 / 10 of the volume, and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours to fully absorb the free drug small molecule. It was then sterilized by passing through a 0.22 micron filter and stored at -80°C. The content of aggregates was analyzed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC-HPLC), and the analytical spectrum is shown in Figure 27. The purity of the antibody conjugate 15 monomer was 96.36%. The ultraviolet absorption coefficient of compound A-24 was ε D,280 = 4723, ε D,370 = 12467, which was used to calculate the drug-antibody ratio in this example, and the DAR value for antibody conjugate 15 was approximately 4.0.
[0347] The compounds of the present application and the ADCs prepared therefrom have higher monomer purity at higher drug-antibody ratios than the ADC molecules prepared with the control molecules, suggesting that this type of ADC molecule has better stability. Furthermore, the results of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC-HPLC) analysis showed that the retention time of the ADC molecules of the present application is shorter than that of the control molecules and is closer to that of naked antibodies, suggesting that this type of ADC molecule has better hydrophilicity, a longer half-life in vivo, and may have stronger in vivo efficacy.
[0348] Example 3: Stability test of antibody complex Camptothecin topoisomerase inhibitor-based ADC drugs, such as Sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) and Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (Enhertu), usually have a high drug-antibody ratio (DAR), and camptothecin molecules have aromatic condensed ring structures and strong hydrophobicity, so the stability of this type of ADC molecule should be affected to some extent. The ADC prepared in the present invention introduces polysarcosine peptide chains at specific positions, which may have better "barrier effect" and better stability, and to verify this hypothesis, we designed an accelerated stability test of the antibody.
[0349] The molecules compared are as follows: 1. Trastuzumab 2. Antibody complex 2 3. Antibody complex 5 4. Antibody complex 6 5. Antibody complex 7 5. Antibody complex 8
[0350] The test molecule sample was diluted to a concentration of 5 mg / ml with formulation buffer (20 mM histidine-acetic acid, 150 mM NaCl, pH 5.5), and 50 μL was taken for direct testing or 55 μL was taken for testing. oAfter incubation in a water bath at 37 °C for 1, 2, 5, 24, 48, and 72 hours, respectively, tests (accelerated stability tests) were performed. The concentration changes of the samples were detected by UV method, and the contents of normal structure ADC molecules (main peak) and polymerized molecules in the samples were quantitatively analyzed using a TSK-GEL SWXL3000 molecular exclusion chromatography column on an Agilent 1260 Infinity II bio-inert LC system.
[0351] The HPLC mobile phase was 200 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) + 150 mM KCl + 15% IPA, the column temperature was 25°C, the injection volume was 7 μL, the flow rate was 0.75 ml / min, and the UV detection wavelengths were 280 nm and 370 nm.
[0352] The statistical results of the sample concentration change are shown in Figure 23. Trastuzumab and its corresponding antibody-drug conjugate 5 and antibody-drug conjugate 6 both have good thermal stability, and the difference in concentration change from 0 to 72 hours is small, but the samples of antibody-drug conjugate 2, antibody-drug conjugate 7, and antibody-drug conjugate 8 showed a sharp decrease in ADC concentration after 24 hours, and the precipitation phenomenon occurred, which caused a rapid decrease in the sample concentration.
[0353] The change results of the increase rate of polymerized molecules in the above accelerated stability test samples were further analyzed by molecular size exclusion chromatography. The statistical results are shown in Figure 24, which is consistent with the change trend of the sample concentration, and the ranking of the samples from high to low stability is Trastuzumab ≒ antibody conjugate 5> antibody conjugate 6> antibody conjugate 7> antibody conjugate 8 ≒ antibody conjugate 2.
[0354] The above results confirmed that the hydrophilic polysarcosine peptide chain at a specific position in the present invention has a "barrier effect" and brings about an "unexpected" stability-improving effect on the antibody-drug conjugate molecule.
[0355] Example 4: In vitro cytotoxic activity test Human lung squamous cell carcinoma cells NCI-H2170 and LK-2, and human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 were selected as cell lines for in vitro activity detection in this experiment, and the expression level of TROP2 antigen (represented by rMFI) on the surface of the above human tumor cells was detected by flow cytometry (FACS), while observing the effective amount status of antibody conjugate 13, DS-1062a (control drug, prepared with reference to the method described in Patent Document 10), hIgG-deruxtecan conjugate, and hIgG-A-11 conjugate for cell killing. After adding the sample to the antibody-drug conjugate, the final concentration was set to 500 nM, and 9 levels of concentration (5-fold dilution) from the initial concentration were designed from 500 to 0.1 nM. The killing (or inhibition) changes were observed for 120 hours, and chemiluminescent staining (Luminescent Cell Viability Assay) was performed, and the fluorescence data was read, followed by IC 50 was calculated.
[0356] As shown in Table 1, both antibody conjugate 13 and DS-1062a (control drug) can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation, and are significantly stronger than the negative control drugs IgG-deruxtecan conjugate and IgGA-1 conjugate. The antibody conjugate 13 of the present invention is significantly superior to the clinical drug DS-1062a.
[0357] [Table 1]
[0358] According to the above activity test results, all ADCs prepared with the compounds of the present application showed good in vitro antitumor activity, and the advantages of the antibody conjugates of the present application are even more prominent, especially against tumor cells with low expression of relevant antigens.
[0359] Example 5: Measurement of in vivo antitumor effect The effect of the combination of the present invention can be measured in vivo, i.e., rodents are implanted with allografts or xenografts of cancer cells and tumors are treated with the combination. Test mice are treated with drug or control and monitored over several weeks to measure tumor doubling time, log cell kill and tumor inhibition.
[0360] In vivo antitumor experiments Human lung squamous cell carcinoma NCI-H2170 (ATCC) cells were suspended in saline at 4 × 10 7 The cells were subcutaneously transplanted into the right flank of female nude mice, and the mice were randomly divided into groups on day 6. The day of grouping was designated as day 0, and antibody conjugate 2 (DS8201) and antibody conjugate 13 were administered at a dose of 5 mg / kg into the tail vein on day 0. As control groups, DS-1062a (positive control drug) and hIgG-A-11 conjugate were used as negative controls.
[0361] The results are shown in Figure 28. In the case of human lung squamous cell carcinoma NCI-H2170, both DS-1062a and antibody conjugate 13 at 5 mg / kg showed antitumor activity, and at a single dose of 5 mg / kg, the antitumor activity of antibody conjugate 13 was significantly stronger than that of the control drug DS-1062a. The change in mouse body weight (Figure 29) suggests that antibody conjugate 13 has a good safety profile.
[0362] According to the results of the activity test, the ADCs prepared with the compounds of the present application all exhibited a certain in vivo antitumor activity, and showed significantly stronger antitumor activity than the control sample. The tumor-bearing mice tolerated the above drugs well, and did not suffer from symptoms such as weight loss.
