[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Application No. 17 / 654,990, filed March 15, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT This invention was made with government support under grant GM067543 awarded by the National Institutes of Health and grant W81XWH-13-1-0062 awarded by the U.S. Army Medical Research Materiel Command. The government has certain rights in this invention.
[0003] Incorporation by reference of materials submitted as text files through the Patent Office Electronic Filing System The present disclosure contains one or more sequences in computer readable format in the attached text file entitled "047162-7250WO2_sequence_listing", which is 160.2 KB in size and created on March 14, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. [Background technology]
[0004] Background to the disclosure One mechanism that controls the transport of molecules into cells is receptor-mediated endocytosis. In this process, a receptor on the cell surface binds to a specific ligand (or a molecule containing the specific ligand) present on the outside of the cell. This ligand can be a small molecule, metabolite, hormone, protein, or even a virus. This binding process triggers the inward budding (invagination) of the plasma membrane, forming a vesicle containing the receptor-ligand complex. The vesicle then becomes an endosome and subsequently fuses with a lysosome, where the receptor, along with its bound ligand cargo, is degraded, or the receptor is recycled to the cell surface for further collection of circulating ligand.
[0005] One such receptor is the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR). This receptor is a C-type lectin whose primary biological role is to bind to glycoproteins containing terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residues (asialoglycoproteins), internalize them, and subsequently remove them from the circulation. ASGPR removes target glycoproteins from the circulation through endocytosis and subsequent lysosomal degradation. ASGPR is highly expressed on the surface of hepatocytes, several human cancer cell lines, and hepatomas, and is less expressed by glandular cells in the gallbladder and stomach. These receptors are known to be involved in the clearance of IgG subtypes and other antibody isotypes from the circulation, the removal of apoptotic cells, the clearance of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and chylomicron remnants, and the disposal of cellular fibronectin.
[0006] Tumor necrosis factor (TNF, also known as tumor necrosis factor alpha or TNFα) is a cell signaling protein (cytokine) involved in acute-phase systemic inflammatory responses. TNF is primarily produced by activated macrophages, but can also be produced by other cell types, such as CD4+ lymphocytes, NK cells, neutrophils, mast cells, eosinophils, and neurons. The primary role of TNF is in regulating immune cells. TNF is an endogenous pyrogen and can induce fever, apoptotic cell death, cachexia, and inflammation, while also inhibiting tumor development and viral replication and responding to sepsis through IL1- and IL6-producing cells. Dysregulation of TNF production is implicated in diseases such as, but not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, major depression, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
[0007] Autoantibodies are antibodies produced by the immune system that react with one or more of the subject's own proteins. Sometimes the immune system stops recognizing one or more normal components of the body as "self," resulting in the production of pathological (or disease-related) autoantibodies. These autoantibodies then attack the body's own healthy cells, tissues, or organs, causing inflammation and damage. Many autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, are caused by these autoantibodies.
[0008] Pathological autoantibodies can target specific organs or be systemic in nature. Autoantibodies contribute to the development and perpetuation of many diseases, including but not limited to Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), fulminant antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), pediatric autoimmune streptococcal infection-associated neuropsychiatric disorders, and Sydenham's chorea.
[0009] Removal of disease-associated autoantibodies has been shown to reduce symptoms and improve clinical outcomes. Currently, strategies for reducing antibody titers include plasma exchange, in which a patient's plasma is separated extracorporeally from whole blood by centrifugation / filtration and replaced with plasma from healthy donors or albumin; and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (IVIG), in which antibodies are pooled from human plasma from donors and injected intravenously into the patient. These approaches have limitations and drawbacks. Challenges with plasma exchange include high cost, inconvenience, and significant health risks and complications (e.g., stroke, hypotension, infection, and hypocalcemia). Similarly, IVIG has several drawbacks, including cost, long response time, and side effects (e.g., allergies).
[0010] There is a need in the art for new compounds and methods that allow for the inhibition, removal, and / or degradation of TNF to treat, ameliorate, and / or prevent certain diseases and / or disorders in a subject.There is a need in the art for new compounds and methods that allow for the inhibition, removal, and / or degradation of specific extracellular proteins to treat, ameliorate, and / or prevent certain diseases and / or disorders in a subject.There is a need in the art for new compounds and methods that allow for the inhibition, removal, and / or degradation of specific autoantibodies that mediate certain diseases and / or disorders in a subject.The present disclosure addresses these needs.

[Figure 86]Figures 86A-C show that DNP-GN3 mediates ternary complex formation. Figure 86A: DNP-GN3 mediates ternary complex formation between hepatocytes and α-DNP antibody. Figure 86B: DNP-GN3-mediated ternary complex formation is inhibited by competitive binders of ASGPR or α-DNP antibody. Figure 86C: DNP-GN3-mediated ternary complex formation is inhibited by the previously reported ASGPR-binding proteins asialofetuin and asialoorosomucoid. [Figure 87] Figures 87A-87B show that endocytosis of α-DNP antibody depends on the concentration of both α-DNP antibody and DNP-GN3. Figure 87A: Endocytosis of α-DNP antibody after 6 hours. Figure 87B: Endocytosis of α-DNP antibody after 12 hours. [Figure 88] Figure 1 shows that DNP-GN3-mediated endocytosis is reduced by competitive binders of ASGPR or α-DNP antibodies. Controls are shown in gray, compounds predicted to inhibit the proposed mode of action of DNP-GN3 are shown in blue, and compounds predicted not to inhibit are shown in red. Data are shown as the mean ± SD of nine replicates across four experiments. Statistical significance was determined by Kruskall-Wallace test and post-hoc comparisons between each inhibitor group and the no-inhibitor group (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001, "ns" P>0.9999). [Figure 89] Figure 8 shows that clathrin-dependent endocytosis inhibitors reduce DNP-GN3-mediated uptake of α-DNP antibody. Data are shown as the mean ± SD of nine replicates across four experiments. Statistics were performed as outlined in Figure 88. [Figure 90] 1 shows that the accumulation of α-DNP antibody-derived fluorescence in cells depends on the presence of α-DNP antibody and DNP-GN3. [Figure 91]Figures 91A-91B show that endocytosed α-DNP antibody is transported to lysosomes after 12 hours. Figure 91A: Endocytosed α-DNP antibody does not colocalize with the early endosome marker EEA1. Figure 91B: Endocytosed α-DNP antibody does not colocalize with the late endosome and lysosomal protein LAMP2 in cells. [Figure 92] Figures 92A and 92B show accumulation tests of protein fragments derived from the α-DNP antibody. Figure 92A: Protein fragments derived from the α-DNP antibody accumulate in the cell lysate over time. Figure 92B: Cell supernatant does not accumulate α-DNP antibody fragments over time. [Figure 93] Figures 93A-93C show that DNP-GN3 and DNP-OH3 exhibit no toxicity to mice at all tested concentrations. Figure 93A: Body weight of mice after treatment with DNP-GN3 or DNP-OH3. Statistical significance was analyzed by T-test. Figure 93B: Levels of aspartate transaminase (AST) in treated mice. The dashed line represents the normal range. Figure 93C: Levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) in treated mice. The dashed line represents the normal range. [Figure 94] This shows that serum levels of α-DNP antibodies decrease more rapidly after repeated treatment with DNP-GN3. Serum antibody levels were measured using an ELISA assay. Each experimental group contained three mice. Statistical significance in experiments involving in vivo depletion of α-DNP antibodies was assessed by repeated measures two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test for post-hoc comparison of simple effects between each treatment group and the PBS group. [Figure 95] A significant decrease in serum levels of α-DNP antibodies was observed after treatment with DNP-GN3 but not with DNP-OH3. Each experimental group contained at least 5 mice. [Figure 96]This shows that a single dose of DNP-GN3 mediates a decrease in serum levels of α-DNP antibodies. Each experimental group contained at least eight mice. Statistical significance was assessed by repeated measures two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for post-hoc comparison of simple effects between each treatment group and the PBS group. [Figure 97] 1 shows that treatment with DNP-GN3 promotes the depletion of polyclonal α-DNP antibodies from serum. The PBS-treated group contained two mice, while the DNP-GN3 group contained three mice. [Figure 98] Figure 1 shows that the binding of α-DNP antibody to HepG2 cells is dependent on the concentration of DNP-AF3. Error bars represent the SD of three biological replicates. [Figure 99] Figure 1 shows that DNP-AF3-mediated antibody binding to HepG2 cells is inhibited by increasing concentrations of the α-DNP antibody-binding control DNP-OH3. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three biological replicates. [Figure 100] Figure 1 shows that DNP-AF3-mediated binding of α-DNP antibody to HepG2 cells is inhibited by increasing concentrations of the ASGPR-binding control monosaccharide AF. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three biological replicates. [Figure 101] Figure 1 shows that DNP-AF3-mediated binding of α-DNP antibody to HepG2 cells is inhibited by increasing concentrations of the ASGPR-binding protein ASOR, but not by ORM. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three biological replicates. [Figure 102] Figure 1 shows that DNP-AF3-mediated binding of α-DNP antibody to HepG2 cells is not inhibited by increasing concentrations of the ASGPR-binding protein ASF or the protein fetuin. Data points represent a single flow cytometry experiment at each concentration. Data are expressed as the mean fluorescence intensity of the cell population, as internal controls for 100% and 0% ternary complex formation were not included in this assay. [Figure 103A]Figures 103A-C show that DNP-AF3-mediated endocytosis of α-DNP antibody depends on the concentration of both α-DNP antibody and DNP-AF3. Each data point represents an individual biological experiment. Figure 103A: DNP-AF3-mediated endocytosis of α-DNP antibody after 6 hours. [Figure 103B] Figures 103A-C show that DNP-AF3-mediated endocytosis of α-DNP antibody depends on the concentration of both α-DNP antibody and DNP-AF3.

The antibody was present at a concentration of 100 nM, and DNP-AF3 was present at a concentration of 40 nM. The number and darkness of the puncta increase over time. [Figure 108] We demonstrate that both DNP-AF3 and α-DNP antibody are required for the observation of fluorophore-containing puncta in HepG2 cells. In the absence of DNP-AF3 or α-DNP antibody, no puncta are observed. [Figure 109] 1 shows that the fluorescent signal generated by endocytosed α-DNP antibody does not colocalize with the early endosomal protein EEA1.

Statistical significance was determined by the Kruskall-Wallace test and post-hoc comparisons between each inhibitor group and the inhibitor-free group (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001, "ns" P>0.9999). [Figure 133] Figure 1 shows that cells treated with MIF-GN3 and exogenous MIF accumulate MIF puncta in the cells. The MIF signal strongly colocalizes with LAMP2 but not with EEA1. MIF was present at a concentration of 100 nM, and MIF-GN3 was present at a concentration of 200 nM. [Figure 134] This shows that cells treated with MIF-GN3 showed more rapid clearance of human MIF from the circulation in mice 4 hours after treatment. Each data point represents the mean and SD of three mice in each group. T-test analysis at 4 hours showed no significant difference (p=0.1525). [Figure 135] This shows that cells treated with MIF-GN3 exhibited more rapid clearance of human MIF from the circulation in mice. Each data point represents the average of two (MIF intraperitoneal PBS group) or three (all other groups) serum sample readings. [Figure 136] This shows that mice treated with MIF-GN3 exhibit rapid clearance of human MIF from the circulation at early time points. Each data point represents the mean concentration of MIF in serum collected from four or five mice. Statistical significance was assessed by repeated measures two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test for post-hoc comparison of simple effects between each treatment group and the PBS group. [Figure 137] 1 shows that treatment of mice with MIF-GN3 did not decrease serum levels of mouse MIF. Each point represents the mean value of 10 serum samples, and error bars are SD. Immediately after the 0-hour time point, animals received a single dose of MIF-GN3. [Figure 138] Administration of MIF-GN3 and α-MIF antibodies slowed the growth of PC3 human prostate cancer cells in mice. Each group consisted of five mice (except for the DNP-GN3 group, which had four mice). [Figure 139] This shows that administration of MIF-GN3 and α-MIF antibodies reduces circulating human MIF protein levels in mice injected with PC3 prostate cancer cells. Each group consisted of five mice (except for the DNP-GN3 group, which had four mice). [Figure 140] We show that administration of MIF-GN3 and α-MIF antibodies increases the survival rate of mice injected with human prostate cancer PC3 cells. Each group consisted of five mice (except for the DNP-GN3 group, which had four mice). [Figure 141] 1 shows the synthesis of the bifunctional molecule FcIII-BCN-GN3. [Figure 142]Figure 1 shows that FcIII-GN3 mediates endocytosis of human IgG across a range of concentrations.

[0019] Detailed Description of Disclosure In one aspect, the present disclosure provides bifunctional compounds that can be used to promote and / or enhance the degradation of extracellular proteins (or "proteins," which, in non-limiting examples, can be circulating proteins and / or cell surface proteins that can be bound to or embedded in a cell membrane) in a subject. In certain embodiments, treatment or management of a disease and / or disorder contemplated in this disclosure requires the degradation, removal, and / or reduction in the concentration of the extracellular protein in the subject. Thus, in certain embodiments, administration of a compound of the present disclosure to a subject removes the extracellular protein and / or reduces the circulating concentration of the extracellular protein, thereby treating, ameliorating, and / or preventing the disease and / or disorder in the subject. In some embodiments, the extracellular protein includes TNF. In some embodiments, the extracellular protein is TNF.
[0020] In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure include a group that binds to an extracellular protein. In other embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure further include another group (such as, but not limited to, a small molecule) that binds to a cellular receptor, whereby binding results in endocytosis of the compound (and / or the extracellular protein-compound complex). The receptor binder and the extracellular protein binder can be linked by a linker, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), any other linker described herein with a tunable length, or other linkers described herein and including one or more connector molecules, herein referred to as CON. When the extracellular protein-compound complex undergoes endocytosis, the extracellular protein is eventually degraded, and the compound can be degraded or recycled outside the cell. In some embodiments, the extracellular protein is TNF, and the compound of the present disclosure is a TNF binder.
[0021] In another aspect, the present disclosure provides bifunctional compounds that can be used to promote or enhance the degradation of a specific autoantibody of interest. In certain embodiments, the autoantibody mediates a disease and / or disorder in a subject, and treatment or management of the disease and / or disorder requires the degradation, removal, or reduction of the concentration of the autoantibody in the subject. Thus, in certain embodiments, administration of a compound of the present disclosure to a subject removes the autoantibody and / or reduces the circulating concentration of the autoantibody, thereby treating, ameliorating, or preventing the disease and / or disorder in the subject.
[0022] In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure include another group (such as, but not limited to, a small molecule) that binds to a cellular receptor, thereby resulting in endocytosis of the compound (and / or the extracellular protein-compound complex). Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure include an autoantibody targeting moiety (AATM), such as, but not limited to, an autoantibody ligand, such as, but not limited to, a small molecule, peptide, and / or nucleic acid aptamer, that can bind to an autoantibody of interest. The receptor binder and AATM can be linked by a linker, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), any other linker described herein with a tunable length, or other linkers described herein and including one or more connector molecules, referred to herein as CON. When the autoantibody-compound complex undergoes endocytosis, the autoantibody is eventually degraded, and the compound can be degraded or recycled to the outside of the cell.
[0023] While not wishing to be bound by theory, the bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure, which can be used to promote or enhance the degradation of specific autoantibodies of interest, offer clear advantages over existing methods for removing autoantibodies from a subject. AATM confers specificity to the bifunctional compounds. ATM can be used to target specific populations of autoantibodies. As shown elsewhere herein, compounds of the present disclosure, including anti-DNP IgG as a model autoantibody, successfully induced the degradation of anti-DNP IgG injected into mice.
[0024] The present disclosure provides a molecular approach to achieve similar goals as plasma exchange therapy in autoantibody-driven diseases. Unlike plasma exchange therapy, this technology can be easily performed by a variety of medical professionals (not limited to transfusion medicine specialists). Because this approach is based on small molecules derived from synthetic approaches, the present disclosure avoids the need for expensive equipment and materials and complex manufacturing practices. Compared to plasma exchange therapy and IVIG, this approach is cost-effective, safe, and accessible to patients.
[0025] Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a less invasive and safer route of administration compared to extracorporeal procedures, which may introduce additional complications. The compounds described herein are modular and versatile. The targeting motifs (CRBM and AATM) on either end of the linker can be modified to bind with high specificity to various autoantibodies of interest. Furthermore, the defined composition of the compounds allows for simpler and more consistent manufacturing practices and reduces batch-to-batch variability. The fact that AATM binds to autoantibodies predictably allows for prediction of treatment outcomes, drug-drug interactions, and possible side effects.
[0026] In certain embodiments, the receptor is the hepatocyte asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR). In that case, the binding moiety is referred to herein as an ASGPR binding moiety or ASGPRBM. The present disclosure is not limited to this receptor, but rather contemplates the use of other receptors described herein or any other endocytic receptor known in the art.
[0027] Furthermore, the present disclosure is not limited to degradation that takes place in hepatocytes, rather, the present disclosure contemplates that non-hepatic cells in the body present specific degradation receptors, which are contemplated as being within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0028] In one aspect, the compounds of the present disclosure bind to extracellular proteins and / or autoantibodies and remove them from the internal circulation (and the body) through the liver. In some embodiments, the extracellular protein is extracellular TNF. Thus, the compounds of the present disclosure utilize the body's own mechanisms to degrade proteins and / or autoantibodies. Without wishing to be limited by theory, the compounds of the present disclosure bind to specific receptors located on specific cells, such as, but not limited to, hepatocytes, such as, but not limited to, ASGPR. This binding induces degradation of the protein target by intralysosomal proteolysis. As a result of this mechanism, the circulating levels of the extracellular protein target and / or extracellular autoantibody are reduced. In some embodiments, the extracellular protein target is TNF. As a result, the corresponding disease symptoms are attenuated in the subject to whom the compound is administered and / or disappear from the patient.
[0029] ASPGR functions to eliminate desialylated glycoproteins with exposed non-reducing D-galactose (Gal) or N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNac) terminal groups. ASGPR is expressed at a level of approximately 500,000 per hepatocyte and is minimally present elsewhere in the body. ASGPR-mediated internalization of target glycoproteins exhibits a half-life of approximately 3 minutes. The bifunctional compounds disclosed herein selectively bind to extracellular proteins through the extracellular protein binder portion of the compound, thereby forming a protein complex. When this protein complex reaches the liver, the asialoglycoprotein receptor-binding portion (ASGPRBM) of the molecule engages the intralysosomal pathway in hepatocytes via ASGPR. Endosome-bound ASPGR releases extracellular protein ligands at pH 5.4, which are then removed from the circulation by hepatocytes. However, ASPGR remains available for recycling and buds into recycling endosomes, escaping lysosomal degradation. Indeed, depending on the cell line, ASPGR can recycle up to approximately 200 times with a recirculation rate of approximately 15-20 min. ASPGR exhibits very rough ligand size requirements, possibly reaching a diameter of approximately 70 nm. In contrast, IgM pentamers are approximately 20 nm in diameter and therefore fit the ligand size requirements of ASPGR.

Antibody fragments also include human or humanized antibodies, or portions of human or humanized antibodies.
[0051] As used herein, the term "antigen" or "Ag" is defined as a molecule that elicits an immune response. This immune response may involve antibody production, activation of specific immunocompetent cells, or both. Those skilled in the art will understand that any macromolecule, including virtually any protein or peptide, can serve as an antigen. Furthermore, antigens can be derived from recombinant or genomic DNA. Those skilled in the art will understand that any DNA containing a nucleotide sequence or partial nucleotide sequence encoding a protein that elicits an immune response, therefore, encodes an "antigen," as the term is used herein. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that an antigen is not necessarily encoded solely by the full-length nucleotide sequence of a gene. It is understood that the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, the use of partial nucleotide sequences of two or more genes, and that these nucleotide sequences may be configured in various combinations to elicit a desired immune response. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that an antigen is not necessarily encoded by a "gene." It is understood that an antigen may be synthetically produced or derived from a biological sample, including, but not limited to, a tissue sample, a tumor sample, cells, or biological fluid.
[0052] As used herein, the term "aptamer" refers to a small molecule capable of specifically binding to another molecule. Aptamers are typically polynucleotide- or peptide-based molecules. Polynucleotide aptamers are DNA or RNA molecules, typically containing several nucleic acid strands that adopt highly specific three-dimensional conformations designed to exhibit appropriate binding affinity and specificity for specific target molecules, such as peptides, proteins, drugs, and vitamins, both organic and inorganic. These polynucleotide aptamers can be selected from large populations of random sequences through in vitro evolution. Peptide aptamers are typically loops of about 10 to about 20 amino acids attached to a protein scaffold that binds to a specific ligand. Peptide aptamers can be identified and isolated from combinatorial libraries using methods such as the yeast two-hybrid system.

The antisense strand is the complement of the nucleic acid, from which the coding sequence can be deduced. In contrast, the term "non-coding sequence" as used herein refers to a nucleic acid or its complementary sequence, or a portion thereof, that is not translated into amino acids in vivo, i.e., that does not interact with or attempt to arrange amino acids in the way that tRNA arranges amino acids. Non-coding sequences include both intron sequences in genomic DNA or premature primary RNA transcripts and gene-related sequences such as promoters, enhancers, and silencers.
[0056] As used herein, the terms "complementary" or "complementarity" are used in reference to polynucleotides (i.e., nucleotide sequences) related by base-pairing rules.

Alternatively, there can be "complete" or "total" complementarity between nucleic acids. The degree of complementarity between nucleic acid strands has a significant impact on the efficiency and strength of hybridization between nucleic acid strands. This is particularly important in amplification reactions and detection methods that rely on binding between nucleic acids.

The term "cycloalkenyl," alone or in combination, refers to a cyclic alkenyl group.
[0060] "Disease" refers to a state of health in an animal where the animal is unable to maintain homeostasis and where the animal's health continues to deteriorate unless the disease is remitted.
[0061] In contrast, a "disorder" in an animal is a state of health in which the animal is able to maintain homeostasis, but in which the animal's health is less favorable than it would be in the absence of the disorder. If left untreated, the disorder does not necessarily cause a further deterioration in the animal's health.
[0062] A disease or disorder is "in remission" when the severity of a symptom of the disease or disorder, the frequency with which the patient experiences the symptom, or both, is reduced.
[0063] As used herein, the terms "effective amount," "pharmaceutically effective amount," and "therapeutically effective amount" refer to a non-toxic but sufficient amount of an agent to produce a desired biological result.

Supplementary active compounds may also be incorporated into the compositions. "Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers" may further include pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein.Other additional ingredients that may be included in the pharmaceutical compositions used in the methods or compounds described herein are known in the art and are described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Genaro, Ed., Mack Publishing Co., 1985, Easton, PA), which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0089] As used herein, the term "polypeptide" refers to a polymer composed of amino acid residues, related natural structural variants, and synthetic, non-natural analogs thereof, linked through peptide bonds. Synthetic polypeptides can be synthesized, for example, using an automated polypeptide synthesizer. Generally, as used herein, the term "protein" refers to a large polypeptide. As used herein, the term "peptide" refers to a short polypeptide. Conventional notation is used herein to represent polypeptide sequences: the left-hand end of a polypeptide sequence is the amino-terminus, and the right-hand end of a polypeptide sequence is the carboxyl-terminus.
[0090] As used herein, the term "efficacy" refers to the half-maximal response (ED 50 ) means the dose required to produce
[0091] As used herein, the term "protein" refers to an extracellular protein of interest.
[0092] As used herein, the term "REAG" refers to any reagent comprising -CON, -linker, -CON-linker, -linker-CON, -CON-linker-CON, -CRBM, -CON-CRBM, -linker-CRBM, -CON-linker-CRBM, -linker-CON-CRBM, and / or -CON-linker-CON-CRBM. In certain embodiments, the REAG reacts with a TNF binder group to incorporate the TNF binder into a compound of the present disclosure, or a fragment thereof, a derivative thereof, or an intermediate thereof.
[0093] As used herein, the term "room temperature" means a temperature of about 15°C to 28°C.
[0094] The term "specifically binds" as used herein with respect to antibodies refers to an antibody that recognizes a specific antigen but does not substantially recognize or bind to other molecules in a sample. For example, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen from one species may also bind to that antigen from one or more species. However, this cross-species reactivity, in and of itself, does not change the classification of the antibody as specific. In another example, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen may also bind to different allelic forms of the antigen. However, this cross-reactivity, in and of itself, does not change the classification of the antibody as specific. In some cases, the terms "specific binding" or "specifically binds" can be used with respect to the interaction of an antibody, protein, or peptide with a second chemical species to mean that the interaction is dependent on the presence of a particular structure (e.g., an antigenic determinant or epitope) on the chemical species, e.g., the antibody recognizes and binds to a specific protein structure rather than proteins in general. If an antibody is specific for epitope "A," the presence of a molecule containing epitope A (or free, unlabeled A) in a reaction involving labeled "A" and the antibody reduces the amount of labeled A binding to the antibody.

Non-limiting examples of substituents that can be attached to a substituted carbon atom (or other atom) include F, Cl, Br, I, OR, OC(O)N(R), CN, NO, NO, ONO, azido, CF, OCF, R, O(oxo), S(thiono), C(O), S(O), methylenedioxy, ethylenedioxy, N(R), SR, SOR, SO, SO, N(R), SO, R, C(O)R, C(O)C(O)R, C(O)CHC(O)R, C(S)R, C(O)OR, OC(O)R, C(O)N(R), OC(O)N(R), C(S)N(R), (CH) 0~2 N(R)C(O)R, (CH2) 0~2 N(R)N(R), N(R)N(R)C(O)R, N(R)N(R)C(O)OR, N(R)N(R)CON(R), N(R)SOR, N(R)SON(R), N(R)C(O)OR, N(R)C(O)R, N(R)C(S)R, N(R)C(O)N(R), N(R)C(S)N(R), N(COR)COR, N(OR)R, C(=NH)N(R), C(O)N(OR)R, and C(=NOR)R, where R can be hydrogen or a carbon-based moiety, e.g., R can be hydrogen, (C1-C 100) hydrocarbyl, alkyl, acyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, or heteroarylalkyl, or two R groups attached to a nitrogen atom or adjacent nitrogen atoms can be taken together with one or more of the nitrogen atoms to form a heterocyclyl.
[0099] As used herein, the term "synthetic antibody" refers to an antibody produced using recombinant DNA techniques, such as an antibody expressed by a bacteriophage as described herein. The term should also be taken to mean an antibody produced by synthesis of a DNA molecule encoding the antibody and expressing the antibody protein, or by synthesis of an amino acid sequence specifying the antibody, wherein the DNA or amino acid sequence is obtained using DNA and amino acid sequence synthesis techniques that are available and well known in the art.
[0100] A "therapeutic" treatment is a treatment administered to a subject who exhibits symptoms of a pathological condition with the intent of reducing or eliminating those symptoms.

[0103] As used herein, the term "wild-type" refers to a gene or gene product isolated from a natural source. A wild-type gene is a gene that is most frequently observed in a population and is therefore arbitrarily intended to be the "normal" or "wild-type" form of the gene. In contrast, the term "modified" or "mutant" refers to a gene or gene product that exhibits modified sequence and / or functional properties (i.e., altered characteristics) compared to a wild-type gene or gene product. Note that naturally occurring mutants can be isolated. Naturally occurring mutants are identified by the fact that they exhibit altered characteristics (including altered nucleic acid sequences) compared to a wild-type gene or gene product.
[0104] The term "autoimmune disease" refers to a disease or illness that occurs when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Examples of autoimmune diseases include, for example, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile (type 1) diabetes, polymyositis, scleroderma, Addison's disease, vitiligo, pernicious anemia, glomerulonephritis, and pulmonary fibrosis, among others.

[0106] Throughout this specification, the terms "cancer" or "neoplasia" are used to refer to a pathological process resulting in the formation and proliferation of cancerous or malignant neoplasms, i.e., abnormal tissues that grow by cell proliferation, often more rapidly than normal tissues, and continue to grow even after the stimulus that initiated the new growth has ceased. Malignant neoplasms exhibit a partial or complete lack of structural organization and functional coordination with normal tissues; most infiltrate surrounding tissues, metastasize to several sites, likely recur after attempted removal, and likely cause patient death if not treated appropriately. As used herein, the term neoplasia is used to describe all cancerous conditions and encompasses or includes the pathological processes associated with malignant hematogenous, ascites, and solid tumors. Neoplasia includes, but is not limited to, morphological irregularities in cells in the tissues of a subject or host, and a pathological proliferation of cells in the tissues of a subject relative to normal proliferation in the same type of tissue. Furthermore, neoplasia includes benign and malignant tumors, both invasive and non-invasive (e.g., colon tumors). Malignant neoplasms (cancers) are distinguished from benign neoplasms in that the former exhibit a greater degree of anaplasia, or loss of cellular differentiation and orientation, and are invasive and metastatic.Examples of neoplasms or neoplasias from which target cells of the present disclosure may be derived include cancers (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma), particularly bladder, intestinal, breast, cervical, colon, esophageal, head, kidney, liver, lung, neck, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and gastric cancer; leukemias; benign and malignant lymphomas, particularly Burkitt's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; benign and malignant melanomas; myeloproliferative disorders; sarcomas, particularly Ewing's sarcoma, angiosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, liposarcoma, myosarcoma, peripheral neuroepithelioma, and synovial sarcoma; central nervous system tumors (e.g., glioma, astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, ependymoma, glioblastoma, neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, ganglioglioma, medulloblastoma, pineal cell tumor, meningioma, meningeal sarcoma, neurofibroma, and schwannoma); Germline tumors (e.g., intestinal, breast, prostate, cervical, uterine, lung, ovarian, testicular, thyroid, astrocytoma, esophageal, pancreatic, gastric, liver, colon, and melanoma); mixed neoplasias, particularly carcinosarcoma and Hodgkin's disease; and mixed origin tumors, such as Wilms' tumor and teratocarcinoma (Beers and Berkow (eds.), The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, 17). th ed. (Whitehouse Station, NJ: Merck Research Laboratories, 1999) 973-74, 976, 986, 988, 991). All of these neoplasms are treatable using the compounds of the present disclosure.
