Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to single molecular weight homopolymers, methods for preparing such homopolymers, and in particular its use in composite technology.

[0002] The present invention also provides ligases comprising single molecular weight homopolymers, particularly single molecular weight polysarcosines. This relates to Ligand-Drug-Conjugates (LDCs).

[0003] A Ligand-Drug-Conjugate (LDC) comprises at least one Ligand unit, The Ligand unit is linked to at least one therapeutic molecule, diagnostic molecule or A polypeptide or a marker molecule (hereinafter referred to as a drug or D) covalently linked to the marker molecule. This synthetic linker is a protein that connects the Ligand unit and the Drug unit. It may contain one or several bivalent arms for the purpose of The linker may also be selected from a group consisting of a group of molecules that are suitable for storage stability, plasma stability, or pharmacokinetic properties, etc. The LDC may have any monovalent moiety that can improve the LDC performance of a protein or The polypeptide is usually a targeting unit, but may have its own therapeutic properties. The ligand unit of the complex is an antibody or an antibody fragment, and the cytotoxic or chemotherapeutic agent In connection with the subject matter, the term "antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC)" is commonly used.

[0004] The design of ADCs (antibody-drug-conjugates) depends on a number of diverse factors: (i) on the ligand (ii) the nature, number, overall hydrophobicity and location of the synthetic linkers used for attachment at the The nature and mechanism of action; (iii) Structural elements involved in drug release after cellular internalization and during intracellular trafficking; (iv) Considerations of the properties of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and selected antigen targets. This includes investigations of... Recent methodologies have addressed some of the drawbacks of available ADCs, such as heterogeneous drug payloads (ADC subspecies with different pharmacological properties), limited mAb-linker stability or drug-linker stability, and suboptimal pharmacokinetic properties (Beck et al. Nat. Rev. Drug. Disco., 2017, 16(5), 315-337).

[0005] Another important factor to consider when designing the conjugate is the drug ratio (or drug-antibody-ratio (DAR) for ADCs), which is the average number of drug units attached to the antibody. As a result of recent research findings, the current trend in the ADC field is to generate homogeneous conjugates with low to medium DARs (usually 2-4) and bring them to the clinic. Nevertheless, more recently, new linker-drug technologies have emerged with the aim of overcoming the drawbacks of highly loaded ADCs (forming aggregates and thus complicating conjugate formulations, unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties and tendencies). Such technologies have the potential to bring to the clinic next-generation ADCs with improved efficacy, improved pharmacokinetic properties, and improved therapeutic indices, and can target tumors with low target expression, slow internalization or inefficient intracellular processing. To achieve such high payload loading without sacrificing pharmacokinetic properties and formulation stability, new linker-drug design approaches have been developed aimed at masking the putative hydrophobicity of the cytotoxic payload. ... ... ... ... It is necessary to do so.

[0006] In WO2014 / 093394A1, protein-polymer-drug conjugates showing high drug loading and strong binding to the target antigen have been reported. This conjugate contains a biodegradable and biocompatible poly-[1-hydroxymethylethylene hydroxymethyl formal] polymer entity, which enables a complex of about 12 to 25 cytotoxic molecules per mAb, having good pharmacokinetic properties. The main drawbacks of this approach are (i) the polydispersity of the linker, (ii) the non-uniform number of cytotoxic molecules per polymer arm, and (iii) the non-uniform number of grafted polymer arms per mAb, resulting in extreme polydispersity of the final conjugate.

[0007] In WO2015 / 057699A2 and WO2016 / 059377A1, formulation of 8 - 36 drug-loaded ADCs has been reported by including a polyethylene glycol (PEG) moiety orthogonal to the linker design. PEG is well-known for improving the hydrophilicity, stability and circulation time of small drugs, proteins, bioconjugates and nanoparticles due to its hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and high hydration shell. However, PEG is not free from drawbacks such as non-biodegradability, possible complement activation leading to hypersensitivity and unclear pharmacokinetics due to anti-PEG antibodies expressed by some healthy individuals.

[0008] (i) High drug loading while maintaining favorable pharmacokinetic properties and stability, (ii) complete homogeneity of the conjugate at the drug-linker level (chemically monodisperse drug-linker) and at the conjugate level (homogeneously loaded conjugate), and (iii) as a hydrophobic masking moiety A ligand-drug complex that acts on and combines with a biodegradable hydrophilic homopolymer is required.

[0009] Polysarcosine (poly-N-methylglycine or PSAR) is an alternative to PEG and can be used to design novel protein complexes with improved properties. PSAR is a highly hydrophilic, biodegradable, non-immunogenic, water-soluble polymer and has been used in several drug delivery systems or diagnostics. So far, PSAR has only been available in a polydisperse form since it is obtained via a condensative ring-opening polymerization reaction of sarcosine N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) or sarcosine N-thiocarboxyanhydride (NTA). In certain applications that require the use of shorter homopolymer compounds with a defined length (a single and unique molecular weight) and thus absolute homogeneity, these polydisperse PSARs cannot be used. The use of discrete monodisperse PSARs for macromolecule modification is a prerequisite for developing complexes with absolute chemical homogeneity. Such homogeneous complexes have the advantage of sharing exactly the same pharmacological properties (pharmacokinetics and efficacy), making it easier to determine the properties, allowing for greater control of the reproducibility of the manufacturing process, and meeting the increasingly stringent regulatory requirements for biocomplexes. According to the present invention, a defined chain length is obtained using a stepwise resin-based submonomer approach. Although relatively well-defined with an acceptable dispersity (a Gaussian distribution of molecular weights with a polydispersity index > 1),

[0010] The use of discrete monodisperse PSARs for macromolecule modification is a prerequisite for developing complexes with absolute chemical homogeneity. Such homogeneous complexes have the advantage of sharing exactly the same pharmacological properties (pharmacokinetics and efficacy), making it easier to determine the properties, allowing for greater control of the reproducibility of the manufacturing process, and meeting the increasingly stringent regulatory requirements for biocomplexes.

[0011] According to the present invention, a defined chain length is obtained using a stepwise resin-based submonomer approach. ​​​​​​A discrete monodisperse PSAR homopolymer was obtained. This method is inexpensive and can be easily extended, giving a final product with an acceptable yield and excellent monomer purity These monodisperse PSAR homopolymers are used in protein binding technology to provide ligand-drug conjugates (LDCs) with improved drug loading capacity, pharmacokinetics and therapeutic effects.

[0012] Accordingly, the present invention provides a single molecular weight monofunctional homopolymer that meets the above requirements for use in conjugate technology, particularly LDCs.

[0013] This homopolymer has the following formula (I):

[0014] [Chemical formula]

[0015] In the formula, R1 and R2 are different, one of R1 and R2 is H or an inert group, and the other of R1 and R2 is a functionalized reactive group which is reactive to covalently bond with a bondable group under reaction conditions where the inert group does not react, Z1 and Z2 are the same or different and are any spacer, n is 1 or more and k is 2 or more.

[0016] Before explaining the present invention in detail, the definitions of the terms used in this specification are shown below.

[0017] [Definition] According to the present invention, any compound such as reactants, products, monomers, homopolymers, units, etc. is an acid addition salt, a base addition salt, a metal salt, ammonium and alkylated ammonium ​It may be in the form of a salt, including a salt. Such salts are well-known to those skilled in the art. For the intended use of the homopolymers of the present invention, they are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable in the form of salts.

[0018] A single molecular weight homopolymer has the same properties but is centered around the size distribution and average molecular weight as opposed to a mixture of homopolymers having a molecular weight distribution, and refers to a homopolymer having a unique and specific molecular weight. A single molecular weight homopolymer can be defined by one absolute molecular formula having an absolute number of atoms.

[0019] In contrast to the polydisperse homopolymers traditionally obtained by a one-pot polymerization process and having a PDI > 1, a single molecular weight homopolymer can also be called "monodisperse" having a polydispersity index (PDI: polydispersity index) equal to 1. Despite the fact that the term "monodisperse" does not accurately reflect the production procedure of the product, it is generally recognized herein that both the terms "monodisperse" and "discrete" which define a homopolymer having a unique and absolute molecular weight, molecular formula and molecular structure are interchangeable. An inert group or capping group refers to any chemical non-reactive group that terminates one end of the homopolymer, and said group is non-reactive when compared to a functionalized reactive group that terminates the other end of the homopolymer under certain reaction conditions. The resulting homopolymer

[0020] is, depending on the view, end-capped by this inert group and is specifically not intended to be covalently bonded when used in LDC technology. In one embodiment is end-capped by this inert group and is specifically not intended to be covalently bonded when used in LDC technology. In one embodiment ​​​In this case, the group only needs to be inactivated after covalent bonding to one end of the homopolymer. That's fine.

[0021] A non-exhaustive list of inert groups includes acyl groups, especially acetyl groups, amide groups, alkyl groups, especially C 1-20 alkyl groups, alkyl ether groups, alkyl ester groups, alkyl ortho ester groups, alkenyl groups, alkynyl groups, aryl groups, aryl ester groups, tertiary am ine groups, hydroxyl groups, aldehyde groups. The inert group may also be selected from the same list of groups that define the functionalized reactive group (see the definition of the following functionalized reactive group). (See the definition of the following functionalized reactive groups.)

[0022] A functionalized reactive group is any chemical moiety that is reactive to covalently bond with a bondable group Yes, it is reactive when compared to an inert group under certain reaction conditions. In particular, it can bind to the following groups: carboxylic acid; primary amine; secondary amine; tertiary amine; hydroxy l; halogen; N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, perfluoroester, nitro phenyl ester, aza-benzotriazole and benzotriazole activated ester, activated esters such as acyl urea; alkynyl; alkenyl; azide; isocyanate; i sothiocyanate; aldehyde; maleimide, halomaleimide, haloacetyl, pyridyl thiol-reactive moieties such as disulfide; thiol; acrylate; mesylate; tosylate tos; triflate, hydroxylamine; chlorosulfonyl; boronic acid - B(OR')2 derivatives (where R' is hydrogen or an alkyl group).

[0023] A non-exhaustive list of functionalized reactive groups includes the following: carboxylic acid; primary amine; Secondary amine; tertiary amine; hydroxyl; halogen; N-hydroxysuccinimide ester ter, perfluoroester, nitrophenyl ester, aza-benzotriazole and benzotriazole-activated ester, activated esters such as acylurea; alkynyl; al kenyl; azide; isocyanate; isothiocyanate; aldehyde; maleimide, halo maleimide, haloacetyl, pyridyldisulfide and other thiol-reactive moieties; thiol; acrylate; mesylate; tosylate; triflate, hydroxylamine; chloros ulfonyl; boronic acid -B(OR’)2 derivative (wherein R’ is hydrogen or an alkyl group ).

[0024] Regarding the terms "inert" and "functionalized reactive" for inert groups and functionalized reactive groups, it should be noted that they are interdependent. This means that under the predetermined reaction conditions of the homopolymers of the present invention defined in any one of formulas (I), (II) and (I II), the inert groups do not react, and the functionalized reactive groups react to form a covalent bond with the reactants. Therefore, the inert groups and the functionalized reactive groups in any one of the homopolymers of formulas (I), (II) and (III) are different, but they may be entirely selected from the same list of groups.

[0025] The term "group" in the functionalized reactive group or inert group according to the present invention should be understood as a group that can form a covalent bond with the reactant or does not show any function other than being inert under the predetermined reaction conditions.

[0056] The waveform bond represents the bonding point, and R6 is -C1-C 10 alkylene-, -C1-C 10 he teroalkylene-, -C1-C 10 alkylene-C(=O)-, -C1-C 10 hetero alkylene-C(=O)-, -arylene-C1-C 10 alkylene-C(=O)-, -a rylene-C1-C 10 alkylene-O-C(=O)-.

[0057] Any of the R6 groups is optionally substituted by one or more =O.

[0058] The ligand refers to any macromolecule (polypeptide, protein, peptide, typically an antibody) as commonly used in LDC (e.g., antibody-drug conjugate) technology, or a small molecule such as folic acid or an aptamer. Using bioconjugate technology, the synthetic phosphorus in this study ​​​It may be covalently linked to a car or drug linker (see Greg T. Hermanson, Bioconjugate Tech niques, 3rd Edition, 2013, Academic Press). Ligands are traditionally compounds selected for their targeting ability. A non-exhaustive list of ligands includes proteins, polypeptides, peptides, antibodies, full-length antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, interleukins, lymphokines, hormones, growth factors, vitamins, transferrin, or any other cell-binding molecule or substance. The main classification of ligands used to prepare the complex is antibodies. As used herein, the term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and includes monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, modified monoclonal antibodies and modified polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies such as bispecific antibodies, single specificity antibodies, antibody fragments, and antibody mimetics (Affibody®, Affilin®, Affimer®, Nanofitin®, Cell Penetrating Alphabody®, Anticalin®, Avimer® Fynomer®, Monobodies or nanoCLAM P®). An example of an antibody is trastuzumab. An example of a protein is human serum albumin.

[0059] As referred to herein, the term "antibody" includes whole antibodies and any antigen-binding fragment (i.e., "antigen-binding portion"), or a single chain thereof.

[0060] Naturally occurring "antibodies" are composed of at least two It is a glycoprotein containing a heavy (H) chain and two light (L) chains. Each heavy chain is composed of a heavy chain variable region ( abbreviated as V H in this specification) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region is composed of three domains, CH1, CH2, and CH3. Each light chain is composed of a light chain variable region (in this specification abbreviated as V L ) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region is composed of one domain C L . V H and V L regions can be further subdivided into hypervariable regions named complementarity determining regions (CDRs) in which more conserved regions named framework regions (FRs) are interspersed. Each V and V H and V L is composed of three CDRs and four FRs arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus: FR 1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen. The constant region of the antibody may mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system ( e.g., effector cells) and the first component of the classical complement system (Clq).

[0061] The term "antigen-binding portion" (or simply "antigen portion") of an antibody, as used herein, refers to the full-length antibody or one or more fragments thereof that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen-binding function of an antibody can be carried out by fragments of the full-length antibody. Examples of binding fragments included in the term "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody are V , V L , V H , C L and CH1 dom A Fab fragment, which is a monovalent fragment consisting of the main part; two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge in the hinge region An F(ab)2 fragment, which is a divalent fragment containing two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge in the hinge region; V H and CH An Fd fragment consisting of the V L and V H domains of a single arm of the antibody; an Fv fragment consisting of the V and V H domains (Ward et al., 1989 Nature 341:544-546); and Isolated complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), or any fusion protein containing such antigen-binding portions are included.

[0062] Furthermore, the two domains of the Fv fragment, V L and V H are encoded by separate genes, but they can be linked using recombinant methods by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single-chain protein, in which the V and V regions pair to form a monovalent molecule (known as a single-chain Fv (scFv); see, for example, Bird et al., 1988 Science 242:423-426; and Huston et al., 1988 Proc Natl Acad. Sci L i. 85:5879-5883). Such single-chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed by the term H "antigen-binding portion" of the antibody. These antibody fragments can be obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as the complete antibody. In certain embodiments, the ligand of the LDC is a chimeric antibody, a humanized antibody, or a human anti body. These antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as the complete antibody. These antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as the complete antibody. These antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as the complete antibody.

[0063] In certain embodiments, the ligand of the LDC is a chimeric antibody, a humanized antibody, or a human anti It is a body.

[0064] As used herein, the term "human antibody" is intended to include antibodies having a variable region in which both the framework region and the CDR region are derived from sequences of human origin. Further, when the antibody includes a constant region, the constant region is also derived from such human sequences, such as human germline sequences, or mutant versions of human germline sequences, or consensus framework sequences derived from human framework sequence analysis (e.g., as described in Knappik et al. (2000. J Mol Biol 296, 57-86)). Moreover, a human antibody may contain amino acid residues not encoded by human sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutations in vivo). However, as used herein, the term "human antibody" is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, are grafted onto human framework sequences. As used herein, "isotype" refers to the antibody class provided by the heavy chain constant region gene (e.g., IgG such as IgM, IgE, IgG1 or IgG4). The phrases "antibody that recognizes an antigen" and "antibody specific for an antigen" are synonymous with the term "antibody specific for an antigen".

However, as used herein, the term "human antibody" is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, are grafted onto human framework sequences.

[0066] As used herein, the term "human monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody that exhibits a single binding specificity and has a variable region in which both the framework region and the CDR region are derived from human sequences.

[0067] As used herein, "isotype" refers to the antibody class provided by the heavy chain constant region gene (e.g., IgG such as IgM, IgE, IgG1 or IgG4).

[0068] The phrases "antibody that recognizes an antigen" and "antibody specific for an antigen" are synonymous with the term "antibody specific for an antigen". ​​​​​​​​​"an antibody that binds to", which is used interchangeably herein.

[0069] A cleavable group (also referred to as a "releasable assembly unit") links the drug unit to the remainder of the ligand-drug complex. The function of the cleavable group is to release the drug at the site targeted by the ligand. This unit can thus form a cleavable bond for release of the drug unit, for example, by enzymatic processing or disulfide removal mechanisms. Recognition sites for enzymatic processing are usually dipeptide cleavage sites (e.g., Val-Cit, Val-Ala, or Phe-Lys), or sugar cleavage sites (e.g., glucuronide cleavage sites). For example, the cleavable group is a glucuronide group. This technology is well known to those skilled in the art, and from his knowledge, he can select a suitable cleavable group for the drug of an LDC (e.g., ADC) compound. For example, the cleavable group includes a disulfide-containing linker cleavable by disulfide exchange, an acid-labile linker cleavable at acidic pH, and a linker cleavable by hydrolytic enzymes (e.g., peptidases, esterases, and glucuronidases). The cleavable group can be in a form selected from: - one or more natural or unnatural amino acids, e.g., a cleavable peptide containing 2 to 12 amino acids, - a sugar moiety linked to a self-destructive group via an oxygen glycosidic bond, - a disulfide linker, and - an acid-labile linker hydrolyzable in lysosomes. - one or more natural or unnatural amino acids, e.g., a cleavable peptide containing 2 to 12 amino acids, - a sugar moiety linked to a self-destructive group via an oxygen glycosidic bond, - a disulfide linker, and - an acid-labile linker hydrolyzable in lysosomes.

[0070] Advantageously, the cleavable group can be in a form selected from: ​- One or more natural or non-natural amino acids, e.g., a cleavable peptide containing 2 to 12 amino acids, and - A sugar moiety linked to a self-destructive group via an oxygen glycosidic bond. When the sugar moiety is used, the self-destructive group is considered to be part of a cleavable group. The "self-destructive group" is a trifunctional chemical moiety that can covalently link three separated chemical moieties together: a sugar moiety (via a glycosidic bond), a drug D (directly or indirectly via a spacer Z), and an orthogonal linker L (directly or indirectly via a spacer Z). The glycosidic bond can be cleaved at the target site to initiate a self-destruction reaction sequence that results in the release of the drug.

A variety of disulfide linkers are known in the art and can be adapted for use in the present disclosure, including those that can be formed using SATA (N-succinimidyl-S-acetylthioacetate), SPDP (N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate), SPDB (N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)butyrate), SMPT (N-succinimidyl-oxycarbonyl-α-methyl-α-(2-pyridyl-dithio)toluene), and SPP (N-succinimidyl 4-(2-pyridyldithio)penta-noate).

[0364] Example 12: Non-polysarcosine-based antibody-drug conjugate (ADC-PSAR0), Polysarcosine-based antibody-drug conjugate with orthogonal configuration (ADC-PSAR12) and polysarcosine-based antibody-drug conjugate with linear configuration (ADC-PSAR 12L) hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) characteristics Relative exposure of the payload bound to the bulk solvent and trastuzumab-based DAR8 The apparent hydrophobicity of the ADC was evaluated by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) on a Tosoh TSK- GEL BUTYL-NPR column according to the method described in Example 11. The results are shown in Figure 1. When polysarcosine is grafted in a parallel (i.e., orthogonal) orientation with respect to the drug unit, efficient hydrophobic masking properties are obtained when grafted in a parallel (i.e., orthogonal) orientation with respect to the drug unit, efficient hydrophobic masking properties are obtained , the apparent hydrophobicity of the conjugate (ADC-PSAR12) decreases. However, when the polysialic acid is in a linear (i.e., continuous) arrangement, a decrease in the apparent hydrophobicity of the conjugate is not observed (ADC-PSAR12L).

[0365] Example 13: Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) properties of polysialic acid- and polyethylene glycol-based antibody-drug-conjugates The relative exposure of the payload bound to the bulk solvent and the apparent hydrophobicity of trastuzumab-based DAR8 ADCs were evaluated by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) on a Tosoh TSK- GEL BUTYL-NPR column according to the method described in Example 11. The results are shown in Figure 2. At equal length (n = 12 monomer units), polysialic acid gives better hydrophobic masking properties than polyethylene glycol (lower retention time).

[0366] Example 14: Pharmacokinetic properties (total antibody concentration over time) in mice after single intravenous administration of 3 mg / kg dose of non-polysialic acid-based antibody-drug-conjugate (AD C-PSAR0) and polysialic acid-based antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC-PSAR1 2) Male SCID mice (4-6 weeks old) were injected with ADC at 3 mg / kg via the tail vein (5 mice per treatment group, randomly assigned). Blood was collected into citrate tubes via retro-orbital bleeding at various time points and processed into plasma. Total ADC concentration was evaluated using a human IgG ELISA kit (Stemcell (trademark ) Technologies) according to the manufacturer's protocol. A standard curve of trastuzumab was used for quantification. Pharmacokinetic parameters (clearance and AUC ) ​​​​) was calculated by non-compartmental analysis using Microsoft (R) Excel (R) software incorporating PK function (add-in developed by Usansky et al., Department of Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism, Allergan, Irvine, USA). The results are shown in Figure 3. ADCs containing polysarcosine show favorable pharmacokinetics when compared to ADCs not containing polysarcosine.

[0367] Example 15: Tumor volume (mm ) and survival curves of non-polysarcosine-based ADC (ADC-PSAR0) and polysarcosine-based ADC (ADC-PSAR12) at a single intravenous dose of 3 mg / kg in a BT-474 breast cancer xenograft model 3 BT-474 breast cancer cells were subcutaneously transplanted into female SCID mice (4 weeks old). The ADCs from Example 14 were intravenously administered at a dose of 3 mg / kg when the tumors had grown to approximately 150 mm 3 (day 20, 5 animals per group, assigned to minimize the difference in initial tumor volume between groups). The results are shown in Figures 4A and 4B. Tumor volume was measured every 3 - 5 days using a caliper device and calculated using the formula (L × W ) / 2. Mice were sacrificed when the tumor volume exceeded 1000 mm 2 3 . No significant weight change was observed in the treated mice.

[0368] Example 16: Polysarcosine-based antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) at a dose of 3 mg / kg -PSAR12) and polyethylene glycol-based antibody-drug conjugates (ADC -PEG12) after single intravenous administration in mice (total antibody concentration over time ) The experiment was conducted in male CD-1 mice (4-6 weeks old) according to the procedure described in Example 14 as shown in Figure 5. The ADC containing polysarcosine has improved pharmacokinetic parameters compared to the ADC containing polyethylene glycol .

[0369] Example 17: 2.5 mg / kg of polysarcosine-based antibody-drug conjugates (ADC-PSAR6, ADC-PSAR12, ADC -PSAR18, ADC-PSAR24) with different PSAR lengths in orthogonal orientations; orthogonal polyethylene glycol-based antibody -drug conjugates (ADC-PEG12) and linear polysarcosine-based antibody-drug conjugates (ADC-PSAR12L) were intravenously administered once to a BT-474 breast cancer xenograft model for tumor volume (mm ) 3 ) The experiment was conducted as described in Example 15. BT-474 breast cancer cells were subcutaneously transplanted into female SCID mice (4 weeks old). When the tumors grew to approximately 150 mm 3 , the ADC was intravenously administered once at a dose of 2. 5 mg / kg (on day 13, 6 animals per group, assigned to minimize the initial tumor volume difference between groups ). The results are shown in Figure 6. No significant weight changes were observed in the treated mice .
