Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel antibody-drug conjugate, more particularly to an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a polyethylene glycol unit, a solvate thereof, a pharma-ceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising same. [Background technology]
[0002] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are compounds consisting of an antibody, a drug or payload, and a linker, and are prepared by covalently binding an antibody that binds to a specific target antigen with a drug that exhibits a pharmaceutical effect, such as an apoptotic effect. ADCs require targeting ability to selectively recognize antigens or receptors, ability to induce apoptosis of specific cells, and linker stabilization and dissociation ability, and antibody-drug conjugates that meet these requirements can selectively act only on specific cells through targeting, thereby reducing side reactions and increasing therapeutic effects. Research and development of antibody-drug conjugates has progressed in various ways and is developing rapidly, and drug conjugates such as Adcetris, Kadcyla, Besponsa, Mylotarg, Polivy, and Padcev have been approved by the FDA.
[0003] Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a water-soluble, biocompatible, and non-toxic polymer with ethylene oxide monomer as a unit, and is used in the pharmaceutical field to extend plasma half-life, prevent enzymatic degradation, and provide sustained release through PEGylation. There are also attempts to use polyethylene glycol to provide beneficial effects in the field of antibody-drug conjugates. In this regard, U.S. Pat. No. 11,103,593 discloses conjugates containing PEG units and discloses PEGylation to increase antitumor activity and improve stability. However, although PEGylation is performed, the drug properties are not improved in all antibody-drug conjugates, and the effect of the conjugate may vary depending on the linker, drug, etc. Therefore, there is still a demand for antibody-drug conjugates with high stability and improved physical properties.
