Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to protein ligands for carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) as a biomedically relevant target. In particular, highly specific ligands can interact exclusively with an antigen, i.e., CAIX, expressed on the surface of tumor cells, sparing healthy target-expressing organs, thereby enabling efficient in vivo drug delivery applications. Ligands can exhibit particularly low dissociation constants and / or enzyme isoform specificity, making them suitable for targeted delivery of payloads, such as therapeutic and / or diagnostic agents, to sites affected by or at risk of diseases or disorders characterized by CAIX expression. [Background technology]
[0002] Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a zinc metalloenzyme, of which 15 isozymes have been reported in humans, most of which are involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis and carbon dioxide transport [Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2]. CAIX is expressed at low levels in healthy tissues (GI tract, liver, and gallbladder), but higher levels have been observed in certain solid tumors [Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3]. In particular, CAIX is the most validated marker of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and hypoxia, providing an attractive target for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches [Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5].
[0003] In clinical trials, radionuclide-loaded CAIX-targeting antibodies (i.e., girentuximab) are being used for the diagnosis of breast cancer (www.clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT04758780), urothelial carcinoma (NCT05046665), and renal cell carcinoma (NCT02883153, NCT02497599, NCT03849118), and are being tested in combination with nivolumab for the treatment of kidney cancer (NCT05239533). The poor penetration of solid tumors is a major limitation of antibody diagnostics and therapy [6]. Cazzamalli and coworkers have demonstrated the rapid extravasation of small organic ligands, in contrast to antibodies, highlighting the suitability of small molecules for targeted inhibition or delivery approaches [7].
[0004] Certain small molecule CAIX ligands are in clinical development as imaging agents or therapeutic agents (monotherapy or in combination with other treatment modalities) for various types of malignancies. For example, acetazolamide is being tested in combination with platinum for localized small cell lung cancer (NCT03467360) and in combination with temozolomide for malignant glioma (NCT03011671). SLC-0111 is being investigated as monotherapy for solid tumors (NCT02215850) or in combination with gemcitabine for metastatic pancreatic ductal carcinoma (NCT03450018). DTP348 is being tested as a radiosensitizer for solid tumors (NCT02216669). E7070 is being investigated for the treatment of gastric cancer (NCT00165594), metastatic breast cancer (NCT00080197), solid tumors (NCT00003976, NCT00003981), renal cell carcinoma (NCT00059735), stage IV melanoma (NCT00014625), and as a combination therapy for metastatic breast cancer (NCT00165880) and metastatic colorectal cancer (NCT00165867, NCT00165854). [F-18]VM4-037 is being applied as an imaging agent for different cancers (NCT00884520). The COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib is also being studied in the context of CAIX inhibition to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (NCT00081263), with radiation and surgery for advanced head and neck cancer (NCT04162873), and in combination with immunomodulatory agents or chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (NCT01729923), colorectal cancer metastasizing to the liver (NCT03403634), and early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (NCT04081389).
[0005] Most carbonic anhydrase (CA) ligands and inhibitors in clinical development share a sulfonamide functional group. Sulfonamides are a well-known class of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors [Non-Patent Documents 8 and 9]. Sulfonamides (e.g., acetazolamide), which have high affinity for CAIX, have been exploited as targeting moieties within small molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs) to deliver radionuclides and cytotoxic agents for imaging and therapeutic applications, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 [Non-Patent Documents 10-14]. Sulfonamides typically coordinate to a zinc ion within the highly conserved active site of CAs
[15] . Thus, sulfonamide-based CA binders are pan-isotype CA ligands and inhibitors, with only a few selective candidates, all of which remain cross-reactive with one or more isotypes [4, 9, and 15]. Due to the expression of CAs in healthy tissues, there is a need to identify specific CAIX ligands to further improve targeted delivery of diagnostic or therapeutic agents to disease sites, e.g., by providing high-affinity ligands that allow for lower doses and / or by reducing off-target toxicity.

[0010] The present invention relates to potent, stereospecific ligands of, inter alia, CAIX, with particularly low dissociation constants (eg, in the nanomolar range). Because expression of carbonic anhydrase IX isozymes in healthy tissues can lead to the accumulation of nonspecific binders not only at disease sites but also in healthy organs, the present inventors performed quantitative biodistribution experiments in mice with CAIX ligand derivatives according to the present invention, which revealed high selectivity for CAIX-expressing tumors, using the kidney as the only healthy organ with detectable compound accumulation. Thus, the present invention provides CAIX ligands with surprisingly high target specificity. The ligands of the present invention can be applied, for example, as selective inhibitors or targeting agents for disease-related tissues associated with CAIX expression. The ligands of the present invention can be suitably conjugated to a variety of therapeutic and / or diagnostic payloads, including, for example, fluorophores, radioactive metal chelators, cytotoxic agents, immunomodulators, and therapeutic proteins.
[0011] The binders provided herein may have pharmaceutical potential. For example, selective CAIX binders that do not react with other carbonic anhydrases are provided herein. Previously, it has been difficult to isolate sulfonamides with high isoform selectivity for carbonic anhydrases. Surprisingly, the derivatives provided herein can exhibit greater than 100-fold selectivity for CAIX over other carbonic anhydrases, which are selectively localized to tumors in vivo, as confirmed, for example, by the results in Figures 27 and 28. Unlike the CAIX ligands of the present invention, AAZ* bound with high affinity to all carbonic anhydrases tested (bovine CAII, human CAIV, human CAXII, and human CAXIV). Thus, the present invention provides CAIX ligands with surprisingly high isozyme selectivity. Such derivatives may be useful as specific agents particularly suitable for imaging CAIX in hypoxic sites and renal tumors. In addition to imaging applications, CAIX-specific targeting agents can easily deliver cytotoxic agents and can be used as adapters for universal CAR-T cell conditioning therapy. The derivatives described herein can exhibit surprising synergistic affinity enhancement. This is confirmed by the results shown herein, for example, in Figure 26. To analyze which part of the molecule is important for CAIX binding, the sulfonamide-containing thiophene (compound C12) and each proline derivative (compound C14) were incubated with a micromolar CAIX binder (K D = 1.0 ± 0.1 μM and 1.1 ± 0.2 μM). 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)acetic acid proline derivative (compound C13) did not bind to CAIX. In contrast, when combined with sulfonamides, dissociation constants in the nanomolar range (K D =6±1 nM) resulted in a highly potent CAIX ligand (compound C8). The described derivatives also exhibit highly stereoselective binding. One of the four possible stereoisomers of the ligand showed strong binding to CAIX. Thus, well-defined, potent ligands with surprisingly high binding affinity are provided herein. The high stereospecificity translated into high isozyme selectivity for CAIX over other carbonic anhydrases (bovine CAII, human CAIV, human CAXII, and human CAXIV). We compared the CAIX ligands of the present invention with a fluorescent acetazolamide derivative (AAZ*), one of the most prominent CAIX binders applied in targeted therapy. This is confirmed by the results presented herein. The affinity for recombinantly expressed human CAIX via fluorescence polarization was measured for four stereoisomers (compounds C1, C3, C5, and C7). The stereoselective binding (2R,4R; K) of compound C7 was significantly higher than that of compound C8. D= 16 ± 2 nM) was observed, whereas binding of the other isomers (compounds C1, C3, and C5, see Figure 26) was not detected. Figure 34 shows that incorporation of the 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide derivative in the ligand further enhanced its affinity for CAIX. Figure 35 shows that the CAIX binding affinity of the ligand is substantially maintained regardless of changes in linker B. Exemplary compounds according to the present invention are listed in Table 1.

That is, improvements are expected to be observed for compounds that include moiety A over corresponding compounds lacking that moiety. The compounds of the present invention may have higher affinity and slower dissociation rates for their targets compared to prior art compounds, and thus are believed to have extended residence at the disease site at therapeutically or diagnostically relevant levels, preferably for more than 1 hour, more preferably for more than 6 hours after injection. Preferably, concentration is highest after 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, or 6 hours; and / or concentration at the disease site is maintained at a therapeutically or diagnostically relevant level for at least 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, or 6 hours after injection, more preferably for more than 6 hours.
[0021] Moiety A has the following structure:

[0024] [Table 5] A particularly preferred structure of moiety A, which exhibits extremely high target selectivity, stereospecificity and binding affinity for CAIX, is as follows:
[0025] [ka] is. A further particularly preferred structure of moiety A, which exhibits extremely high target selectivity, stereospecificity and binding affinity for CAIX, is the following:
[0026] [ka] is. A further particularly preferred structure of moiety A is:
[0027] [ka] is.
[0028] Part B Moiety B is a moiety that includes a covalent bond or a chain of atoms that covalently attaches A to payload C, e.g., via one or more covalent bonds. Moiety B can be a cleavable or non-cleavable multifunctional moiety that can be used to link one or more payload and / or binding agent moieties to form a targeting complex of the invention. Specifically, moiety B is a polyfunctional moiety that links one or more moieties C and / or A. B can be a single bond or an optionally substituted C 1-50 may be an aliphatic group, optionally with one or more carbon atoms replaced by a heteroatom, C 3-12 Carbocyclic group or C 1-12 The compound may be substituted by a heterocyclic group, may be saturated, and may optionally contain one or more double or triple bonds. The compound structure contains more than one moiety A per molecule, preferably two or three moieties. The compound structure may contain more than one moiety C per molecule, preferably two or three moieties C. Preferably, the compound structure contains two moieties A and one moiety C, or two moieties A and one moiety C per molecule. If a cleavable linker unit is present in moiety B, the release mechanism may be the same as that specific for the antibody linked to the cytotoxic payload. Indeed, the nature of the binding moiety is independent in that respect. Therefore, pH dependence [Leamon, CP et al (2006) Bioconjugate Chem., 17, 1226; Casi, G. et al (2012) J. Am. Chem. Soc., 134, 5887], reducibility [Bernardes, GJ et al (2012) Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 51. 941; Yang, J. et al (2006) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 103, 13872], and enzyme release [Doronina SO et al (2008) Bioconjugate Chem, 19, 1960; Sutherland, MSK (2006) J. Biol. Chem, 281, 10540] are expected. In certain settings, when functional groups are present on either the binding moiety or the payload (e.g., thiol, alcohol), a linkerless connection can be established, thus releasing the intact payload, substantially simplifying pharmacokinetic analysis.
[0029] Moiety B may comprise or consist of the units shown in Table 5 below, with the substituents R and R shown in the formula n may be independently selected from H, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted (hetero)alkyl, (hetero)alkenyl, (hetero)alkynyl, (hetero)aryl, (hetero)arylalkyl, (hetero)cycloalkyl, (hetero)cycloalkylaryl, heterocyclylalkyl, peptide, oligosaccharide or steroid group. Preferably, R, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are each independently selected from H, OH, SH, NH, halogen, cyano, carboxy, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl, each of which is substituted or unsubstituted. Suitably, R and R n are independently selected from H, or C1 to C7 alkyl or heteroalkyl. More suitably, R and R n is independently selected from H, methyl or ethyl.
[0030] Table 5
[0031] [Table 6] Part B, Unit B L and / or Unit B S may suitably contain disulfide bonds as cleavable bonds, since these bonds are stable to hydrolysis while providing suitable drug release kinetics at the target in vivo and allowing traceless cleavage of drug moieties containing thiol groups. Part B, Unit B L and / or Unit B SThe linker may be polar or charged to improve the water solubility of the conjugate. For example, the linker may contain about 1 to about 20, preferably about 2 to about 10, residues of one or more known water-soluble oligomers, such as peptides, oligosaccharides, glycosaminoglycans, polyacrylic acid or its salts, polyethylene glycol, polyhydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, polysulfonates, etc. Preferably, the linker may contain a polar or charged peptide moiety containing, for example, 2 to 10 amino acid residues. The amino acid may be any natural or unnatural amino acid. The peptide linker suitably contains a free thiol group, preferably an N-terminal cysteine, to form the cleavable disulfide bond with a thiol group on the drug moiety. Any peptide containing L- or D-amino acids may be suitable; particularly suitable peptide linkers of this type are Asp-Arg-Asp-Cys and / or Asp-Lys-Asp-Cys.
[0032] In these and other embodiments, moiety B, unit B L and / or Unit B S The peptide units may comprise cleavable or non-cleavable peptide units specifically tailored for selective enzymatic cleavage from the drug moiety by one or more proteases on the cell surface or extracellular region of the target tissue. The amino acid residue chain length of the peptide units suitably ranges from a single amino acid to approximately eight amino acid residues. Numerous specific cleavable peptide sequences suitable for use in the present invention can be designed and optimized for their selectivity for enzymatic cleavage by specific tumor-associated enzymes, e.g., proteases. Cleavable peptides for use in the present invention include those optimized for proteases MMP-1, 2, or 3, or cathepsin B, C, or D. Peptides cleavable by cathepsin B are particularly suitable. Cathepsin B is a ubiquitous cysteine protease. It is an intracellular enzyme except in pathological conditions such as metastatic tumors or rheumatoid arthritis. An example of a peptide cleavable by cathepsin B comprises the sequence Val-Cit.
[0033] In any of the above embodiments, moiety B, in particular unit BL Preferably, the self-immolative linker further comprises a self-immolative moiety, which may or may not be present after the linker. Self-immolative linkers are also known as electronic cascade linkers. The linker undergoes elimination and fragmentation upon enzymatic cleavage of the peptide, releasing the active, preferably free, form of the drug. The conjugate is stable extracellularly in the absence of an enzyme capable of cleaving the linker. However, upon exposure to an appropriate enzyme, the linker is cleaved, initiating a spontaneous self-immolative reaction, releasing the drug in its underivatized or pharmacologically active form upon cleavage of the bond covalently linking the self-immolative moiety to the drug. In this embodiment, the self-immolative linker is coupled to the binding moiety via an enzymatically cleavable peptide sequence that provides a substrate for the enzyme to cleave the amide bond and initiate the self-immolative reaction. Suitably, the drug moiety is linked to the self-immolative moiety of the linker via a chemically reactive functional group pendant from the drug, such as a primary or secondary amine, hydroxyl, sulfhydryl, or carboxyl group. An example of a self-immolative linker is PABC or PAB (para-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl), which connects the drug moiety to the linker in the conjugate (Carl et al. (1981) J. Med. Chem. 24: 479-480; Chakravarty et al. (1983) J. Med. Chem. 26: 638-644). The amide bond connecting the carboxy terminus of the peptide unit and the para-aminobenzyl of PAB is a substrate that can be cleaved by specific proteases. The aromatic amine becomes electron donating, initiating an electronic cascade that leads to the elimination of the leaving group, which releases the free drug after elimination of carbon dioxide (de Groot, et al. (2001) Journal of Organic Chemistry 66 (26): 8815-8830). Further self-immolative linkers are described in WO 2005 / 082023.
[0034] In yet another embodiment, the linker contains a glucuronyl group that can be cleaved by glucuronidase present on the cell surface or in the extracellular space of the target tissue. Lysosomal β-glucuronidase has been shown to be released extracellularly at high local concentrations in necrotic regions of human cancers, providing a route to targeted chemotherapy (Bosslet, K. et al. Cancer Res. 58, 1195-1201 (1998)).
[0035] In any of the above embodiments, moiety B suitably further comprises a spacer unit. The spacer unit is unit B S and which may be linked to the binding moiety A via, for example, an amide, amine, or thioether bond. The spacer unit may, for example, be of a length that allows the cleavable peptide sequence to be contacted by a cleaving enzyme (e.g., cathepsin B), suitably hydrolyzing the amide bond coupling the cleavable peptide to the self-immolative moiety X. The spacer unit may, for example, comprise repeating units of alkylene, arylene, heteroarylene, alkyloxy (e.g., polyethyleneoxy, PEG, polymethyleneoxy), and alkylamino (e.g., polyethyleneamino), or divalent radicals such as diacid esters and amides, including succinate, succinamide, diglycolate, malonate, and caproamide.

[0082] Pharmaceutical Composition The compounds described herein may be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions for human or animal use in human and veterinary medicine (e.g., as therapeutic or diagnostic compositions) and will typically include any one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, carriers, or excipients. Acceptable carriers or diluents for therapeutic use are well known in the pharmaceutical art and are described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co. (A.R. Gennaro, editor. 1985). The choice of pharmaceutical carrier, excipient, or diluent can be selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. The pharmaceutical compositions may comprise as, or in addition to, the carrier, excipient, or diluent any suitable binder, lubricant, suspending agent, coating agent, solubilizing agent. Preservatives, stabilizers, dyes, and even flavoring agents can be provided in the pharmaceutical composition. Examples of preservatives include sodium benzoate, sorbic acid, and esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Antioxidants and suspending agents can also be used. Different delivery systems may have different composition / formulation requirements. As an example, a pharmaceutical composition can be formulated to be administered using a minipump, or by a mucosal route, e.g., as a nasal spray or aerosol for inhalation or an ingestible solution, or parenterally, where the composition is formulated in an injectable form for delivery by, e.g., intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes. Alternatively, the formulation can be designed to be administered by a number of routes. When an agent is administered mucosally through the gastrointestinal mucosa, the agent must remain stable during passage through the gastrointestinal tract; for example, the agent must be resistant to proteolysis, stable at acidic pH, and resistant to the detergent effects of bile. Where appropriate, pharmaceutical compositions can be administered by inhalation, in the form of a suppository or pessary, topically, in the form of a lotion, solution, cream, ointment, or dusting powder, using a skin patch, orally, in the form of tablets containing excipients such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules, alone or mixed with excipients, or in the form of an elixir, solution, or suspension containing flavorings or coloring agents, or the pharmaceutical composition can be injected parenterally, for example, intravenously, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously. For parenteral administration, the composition is best used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other substances, for example, enough salts or monosaccharides to make the solution isotonic with blood. For buccal or sublingual administration, the composition can be administered in the form of tablets or lozenges, which can be formulated in a conventional manner.
[0083] The compounds of the present invention may be administered in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or active salt. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known to those skilled in the art and include, for example, those described in Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 66, 1-19 (1977). Salts include, but are not limited to, sulfate, citrate, acetate, oxalate, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate, bisulfate, phosphate, acid phosphate, isonicotinate, lactate, salicylate, acid citrate, tartrate, oleate, tannate, pantothenate, acid tartrate, ascorbate, succinate, maleate, gentisinate, fumarate, gluconate, glucaronate, saccharate, formate, benzoate, glutamate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and pamoate (i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate)) salts.
[0084] Routes of administration (delivery) may include, but are not limited to, one or more of oral (e.g., as a tablet, capsule, or ingestible solution), topical, mucosal (e.g., as a nasal spray or aerosol for inhalation), nasal, parenteral (e.g., by injection), gastrointestinal, intraspinal, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intravenous, intrauterine, intraocular, intradermal, intracranial, intratracheal, intravaginal, intraventricular, intracerebral, subcutaneous, ocular (including intravitreal or intracameral), transdermal, rectal, buccal, vaginal, epidural, and sublingual.
[0085] A physician will typically determine the actual dosage that will be most suitable for an individual subject. The specific dose level and frequency of administration for any particular patient can vary and will depend on a variety of factors, including the activity of the particular compound used, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity of the particular condition, and the individual being treated. The formulations can be packaged in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example, sealed ampoules and vials, and can be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of a sterile liquid carrier, for example, water, for administration. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions are prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets of the kind described above. Exemplary unit-dose formulations contain a daily dose or daily sub-dose, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of the active ingredient.
[0086] General Methods The practice of the present invention will employ, unless otherwise indicated, conventional methods of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, immunology and pharmacology, which are known to those skilled in the art and are fully explained in the literature. For example, Gennaro, AR, ed. (1990) Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing Co.; Hardman, JG, Limbird, LE, and Gilman, AG, eds. (2001) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 10th ed., McGraw-Hill Co.; Colowick, S. et al., eds., Methods In Enzymology, Academic Press, Inc.;Weir, DM , and Blackwell, CC, eds. (1986) Handbook of Experimental Immunology, Vols. I-IV, Blackwell Scientific Publications;Maniatis, T. et al., eds. (1989) Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd edition, Vols. I-III, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press;Ausubel, FM et al., eds. (1999) Short Protocols in Molecular Biology, 4th edition, John Wiley & Sons; Ream et al., eds.

[0087] chemical synthesis The compounds described herein can be prepared by chemical synthesis techniques. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that sensitive functional groups may need to be protected and deprotected during compound synthesis. This can be accomplished by conventional techniques, such as those described in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" by T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, John Wiley and Sons Inc. (1991) and P.J. Kocienski, in "Protecting Groups," Georg Thieme Verlag (1994). For example, when a base is used in a reaction with a substrate having an optical center containing a base-sensitive group, any stereocenters present may be epimerized under certain conditions during some of the reactions. It should be possible to avoid such potential problems by selecting the reaction sequence, conditions, reagents, protection / deprotection methods, etc., as is well known in the art.
[0088] definition antibody Antibody: The term "antibody" is used in its broadest sense and includes monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, dimers, multimers, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), veneered antibodies, antibody fragments, and small immune proteins (SIPs) (see Int. J. Cancer (2002) 102, 75-85). Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that can recognize and bind to specific antigens. A target antigen generally has multiple binding sites, also known as epitopes, recognized by CDRs on multiple antibodies. Each antibody that specifically binds to a different epitope has a different structure; that is, one antigen can have multiple corresponding antibodies. Antibodies include full-length immunoglobulin molecules or immunologically active portions of full-length immunoglobulin molecules, i.e., molecules that contain an antigen-binding site that immunospecifically binds to a target antigen or portion thereof of interest. The antibody can be of any type (such as IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgA), any class (such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2), or subclass thereof. The antibody can be or be derived from murine, human, rabbit, or other species.
[0089] Antibody fragment: The term "antibody fragment" refers to a portion of a full-length antibody, generally the antigen-binding or variable region thereof. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; and single-domain antibodies (including dAbs, camelid VHH antibodies, and cartilaginous fish IGnAR antibodies). Antibodies and fragments thereof may be substituted with alternative non-immunoglobulin scaffold-based binding molecules, peptide aptamers, nucleic acid aptamers, structured polypeptides containing polypeptide loops present on non-peptide scaffolds, natural receptors, or domains thereof.
[0090] Derivative: Derivatives include chemical modifications of compounds, such as the replacement of hydrogen with halo, alkyl, acyl, or amino groups. The modifications can increase or decrease one or more hydrogen bonding interactions, charge interactions, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals interactions, and / or dipole-dipole interactions.
[0091] Analogues: The term includes any enantiomers, racemates and stereoisomers, as well as all pharmaceutically acceptable salts and hydrates of the compound. Unless otherwise stated, the following definitions apply to chemical terms used in connection with the compounds of the present invention and compositions containing such compounds. Alkyl refers to a branched or unbranched saturated hydrocarbon group. Suitably, an alkyl group contains 1 to 100, preferably 3 to 30, more preferably 5 to 25 carbon atoms. Preferably, alkyl means methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl or hexyl. Alkenyl refers to a branched or unbranched hydrocarbon group containing one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. Suitably, alkenyl groups contain from 2 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably from 5 to about 25 carbon atoms. Alkynyl refers to a branched or unbranched hydrocarbon group containing one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds. Suitably, the alkynyl group contains from about 3 to about 30 carbon atoms, for example, from about 5 to about 25 carbon atoms.
[0092] Halogen refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, preferably fluorine or chlorine. Cycloalkyl refers to an alicyclic moiety having 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 carbon atoms, as appropriate. The group may be a bridged or polycyclic ring system. More often, the cycloalkyl group is monocyclic. The term includes groups such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, norbornyl, bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl, and the like. Aryl refers to an aromatic carbon system, preferably having 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 ring carbon atoms. Aryl may also be a polycyclic system having two or more rings, at least one of which is aromatic. The term includes groups such as phenyl, naphthyl, fluorenyl, azulenyl, indenyl, and anthryl.
[0093] Diastereomers or diastereoisomers, unless otherwise specified, refer to stereoisomers of a compound that differ in configuration at one or more stereocenters in portions of the molecule other than portion A, where the stereochemical configuration of said portion A is as depicted in each structure, and the individual diastereomers differ in stereochemical configuration in portions of the molecule other than portion A. The prefix (hetero) herein means that one or more of the carbon atoms of the group can be replaced by nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, silicon, or sulfur. Heteroalkyl groups include, for example, alkyloxy and alkylthio groups. Heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl groups herein can have 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 ring atoms, at least one of which is selected from nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur. Specifically, they are 3- to 10-membered rings or ring systems, more specifically 5- or 6-membered rings, which can be saturated or unsaturated. For example, oxiranyl, azirinyl, 1,2-oxathiolanyl, imidazolyl, thienyl, furyl, tetrahydrofuryl, pyranyl, thiopyranyl, thianthrenyl, isobenzofuranyl, benzofuranyl, chromenyl, 2H-pyrrolyl, pyrrolyl, pyrrolidinyl, imidazolyl, imidazolyl, imidazolidinyl, benzimidazolyl, pyrazolyl, pyrazinyl, pyrazolidinyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, dithiazolyl, oxazolyl, pyrazolidinyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, dithiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, piperidyl, piperazinyl, pyridazinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, in particular thiomorpholino, indolizinyl, 1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindolyl, 3H-indolyl and n is 0 or 1.

The term "substituted" means that one or more, particularly up to five, and especially one, two, or three hydrogen atoms in the moiety are independently replaced with a corresponding number of substituents. As used herein, the term "optionally substituted" includes substituted or unsubstituted. Of course, it will be understood that substituents are present only in chemically possible positions, and that one skilled in the art can determine (experimentally or theoretically) whether a particular substitution is possible without undue effort. For example, an amino or hydroxy group having a free hydrogen may be unstable if bonded to a carbon atom having an unsaturated (e.g., olefinic) bond. Preferably, the term "substituted" means that one or more, particularly up to five, more especially one, two, or three hydrogen atoms in the moiety are independently replaced with a corresponding number of substituents selected from the following: OH, SH, NH, halogen, cyano, carboxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl. Furthermore, the substituents described herein may themselves be substituted with any substituent, subject to the above restrictions on suitable substitution as recognized by those skilled in the art. Preferably, any of the above substituents may be further substituted with any of the above substituents, and each of the substituents may be further substituted with any of the above substituents.
[0094] The substituents may suitably include halogen atoms and halomethyl groups such as CF3 and CCl3; oxygen-containing groups such as oxo, hydroxy, carboxy, carboxyalkyl, alkoxy, alkoyl (alkyl), alkoyloxy, aryloxy, aryloyl, and aryloyloxy; nitrogen-containing groups such as amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, cyano, azido, and nitro; sulfur-containing groups such as thiol, alkylthiol, sulfonyl, and sulfoxide; heterocyclic groups which may themselves be substituted; alkyl groups which may themselves be substituted; and aryl groups which may themselves be substituted, such as phenyl and substituted phenyl. Alkyl includes substituted and unsubstituted benzyl. When two or more moieties are described as being "each independently" selected from a list of atoms or groups, this means that the moieties can be the same or different, and thus the identity of each moiety is independent of the identity of one or more other moieties.

[0203] 1.2 Solid phase synthesis General solid phase synthesis procedure Solid-phase synthesis was performed using pre-packed Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-Wang resin (200-400 mesh, 0.5 mmol / g; Bachem, #4003241.0005). Generally, the resin was swollen in dimethylformamide (DMF) for 30 min before any reaction step. Incubations were performed at room temperature in a 10 mL reaction column (CEM Corporation, #32.276) on a rotating mixer (Reax 2, Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co. KG). Fmoc deprotection The resin was incubated with 20% piperidine in DMF for 2 x 15 min. After deprotection, the resin was washed 5-10 times with DMF to remove residual piperidine. Mini-cleavage for LC-MS analysis A small amount of resin was transferred to an Eppendorf tube and incubated with 20 μL of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) for 15 min at room temperature. Before LC-MS analysis, cleavage was quenched by adding 100 μL of DMF and centrifuging the suspension (10,000 rcf for 1 min). Azide reduction After swelling in DMF, the resin was incubated with a solution of trimethylphosphine (5 equiv.) in THF:water (10% water in THF). The reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 2 hours, after which the beads were washed 10 times with DMF.
[0204] Amide Coupling Typically, the acid (2 equivalents), O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU, 1.9 equivalents), and diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA, 4 equivalents) were dissolved in DMF and added to the resin bearing a chemical moiety with a free amino group. After a 4-hour incubation, the resin was washed five times with DMF. The coupling efficiency could be monitored by LC-MS analysis (mini-cleavage). Resin cleavage and purification The cleavage solution was prepared as follows: 95% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), 2.5% water, and 2.5% triisopropylsilane (TIPS). Where specified, 2.5% thioanisole and 2.5% m-cresol were added as scavengers. The highest yields were obtained when three consecutive cleavages (each for 1 h at room temperature) were performed. The cleavage fractions were combined and either directly purified via RP HPLC or precipitated in diethyl ether for subsequent purification (see below). Peptide precipitation The peptide structure was precipitated from the cleavage solution by adding 5-10 volumes of ice-cold diethyl ether. The precipitation proceeded for 30 min at -20 °C, and the peptide was obtained as a pellet by centrifugation (3200 rcf, 5 min, 4 °C). The crude product was dissolved in water:acetonitrile (1:1) and purified by reverse-phase chromatography.

[0242] [ka] 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)acetic acid (3 mg, 15 μmol, 1 equiv.) was dissolved in DMF and preactivated for 10 min by adding EDC (2.6 μL, 15 μmol, 1 equiv.), HOBt (1.8 mg, 15 μmol, 1 equiv.), and DIPEA (10.5 μL, 60 μmol, 4 equiv.). 1-tert-Butyl 2-methyl(2R,4R)-4-amino-1,2-pyrrolidinedicarboxylate hydrochloride (4.2 mg, 15 μmol, 1 equiv.) was added to the preactivated solution and incubated at room temperature for 4 h. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in 200 μL of TFA. After 1 h at room temperature, the TFA was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in water and lyophilized. In a separate flask, 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide (2.7 mg, 15 μmol, 1 equiv.) was treated with 4-nitrophenyl carbonochloridate (3 mg, 15 μmol, 1 equiv.) and DIPEA (5.3 μL, 30 μmol, 2 equiv.) in dry ACN at 0 °C for 30 min. The lyophilized crude product was then added, and after incubation at room temperature for 1 h, the solvent was evaporated. Ester hydrolysis was then carried out using NaOH (150 μL of 1 M aqueous NaOH, 150 μmol, 10 equiv.) in 300 μL of water:THF (1:1) for 3 h at room temperature. After neutralization with 1 M aqueous HCl, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the crude material was purified by RP-HPLC to give I16 (1.6 mg, 20%) as a white solid.
[0243] 1.3.19 Synthesis of Intermediates I17, I18, I19, I20, and I21
[0244] [ka] I17, I18, I19, I20, and I21 were synthesized by preactivating the acid (I7, I12, I13, I15, or I16) with EDC (1 equiv.), HOBt (1 equiv.), and DIPEA (3 equiv.) in DMF for 15 min at room temperature, followed by the addition of tert-butyl N6-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-lysinate hydrochloride (1 equiv.). After 20 h at room temperature, the solvent was evaporated and TFA was added. After stirring at room temperature for 1 h, TFA was removed, and the mixture was purified by RP-HPLC to give the products as white solids: I17 (0.25 mg, 89% yield), I18 (0.9 mg, 37% yield), I19 (1.4 mg, 57% yield), I20 (0.8 mg, 32% yield), and I21 (1.15 mg, 58% yield).
[0245] 1.3.20 Synthesis of Compounds C19, C20, C21, C22, and C23
[0246] [ka] C19, C20, C21, C22, and C23 were synthesized by mixing an amine (I17, I18, I19, I20, or I21) with FITC (0.8 equiv.) and DIPEA (3.5 equiv.) in DMF at room temperature for 45 min. The mixture was purified by RP-HPLC to give the following products as yellow solids: C19 (0.19 mg, 60% yield), C20 (0.1 mg, 80% yield), C21 (0.08 mg, 52% yield), C22 (0.09 mg, 60% yield), and C23 (0.07 mg, 55% yield). [Example]
[0247] Determining compound affinity and selectivity by fluorescence polarization 2.1 General Notes Fluorescence polarization was measured in black 384-well microplates on a Tecan Spark® Multimode Microplate Reader (λ excitation = 485 ± 20 nm, λ emission = 535 ± 25 nm). Typically, a dilution series (usually 1:1) of the protein in each buffer was prepared to reach a volume of 5 μL per well. Fluorophore-conjugated compounds were diluted in protein buffer to reach concentrations of 20 nM, 10 nM (Figure 35), or 2 nM (Figure 34), and 5 μL was added to each well. Plates were centrifuged (400 rcf, 1 min) and incubated in the dark for 15 min before measurement.
[0248] 2.2 Affinity measurement We synthesized fluoresceinated conjugates of four stereoisomers (compounds C1, C3, C5, and C7) and measured their affinity for recombinantly expressed human CAIX via fluorescence polarization. We observed stereoselective binding of compound C7 (2R, 4R; K D =15±2 nM), no binding of the other isomers (compounds C1, C3 and C5, see Figure 26, above) was detected. To analyze which parts of the molecule are important for CAIX binding, we performed a fragment screen and identified a sulfonamide-bearing thiophene (compound C12) and its respective proline derivative (compound C14) as micromolar CAIX binders (K D = 1.0 ± 0.1 μM and 1.1 ± 0.2 μM). The 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)acetic acid proline derivative (compound C13) did not bind to CAIX, but when combined with sulfonamides, it exhibited a dissociation constant in the nanomolar range (K D =6±1 nM, see FIG. 26, bottom) resulting in a highly potent CAIX ligand (compound C8).
[0249] 2.3 Selectivity measurements Compound C7 and acetazolamide (AAZ*) were screened against human CAIX and CAIX isozymes (bovine CAII, human CAIV, human CAXII, and human CAXIV). Compound C7 was identified as a highly selective CAIX ligand with low affinity for human CAXII (fitting was not applicable) and no detectable binding to other isozymes (see Figure 27 and Table 6). In contrast, AAZ* bound strongly to all carbonic anhydrases screened, with no apparent selectivity for CAIX (see Figure 27 and Table 6). The selectivity was confirmed by extending the analysis to a set of other protein targets (see Figures 31 and 32). Table 6. Dissociation constants (K) of compounds C7 and AAZ* for CAIX and each isoenzyme D Each value is given as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). h=human, b=bovine, ND=not detected.
[0250] [Table 8] Selectivity was also confirmed using the same fluorescence polarization by extending the analysis to an additional set of binders, namely compounds C16, C17, and C18 (where R is L6), i.e., DNA / LNA(bodipy) multiplex (see Figure 33 and Table 7). An exemplary DNA has a 74-mer sequence attached via a 5'C6 amino modification:
[0251] [ka] (wherein each X can independently be A, C, T, or G; LNA(bodipy) comprises a complementary BODIPY-modified octameric LNA (5'GGCTACTA-C6-amino-3') conjugated to 3'-BODIPY-TMR-X (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #D6117), where DNA is annealed to the complementary BODIPY-modified octameric LNA at a 1:1 molar ratio by mixing 25 μL of each 2 μM solution (in PBS). Table 7. Dissociation constants (K D ) (h=human, b=bovine)
[0252] [ka] The results suggest that similar affinity for CAIX and selectivity for CAII is achieved across the range of the present invention. [Example]
[0253] Qualitative and quantitative biodistribution studies 3.1 Cell culture The human renal cell carcinoma cell line SKRC-52 was grown in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 1x antibiotic-antimycotic at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cell passage was performed every 2 days using trypsin-EDTA 0.25% to detach the cells. The cells were used to grow tumors in mice.
[0254] 3.2 In vivo IVIS imaging for qualitative biodistribution analysis To test whether stereoselective CAIX binding could be translated into stereoselective in vivo targeting of CAIX-expressing tumors, we synthesized each of the IRDye conjugates (compounds C2, C4, C6, and C10). Subcutaneous SKRC-52 tumor (150-300 mm 3) Balb / c nude mice were intravenously injected with 3 nmol of each compound dissolved in 150 μL of sterile PBS, and fluorescence images were acquired 4 hours after injection. Mice were anesthetized with Attane™ isoflurane and fluorescence images were acquired with an IVIS Spectral Imaging System (Xenogen; 1 second exposure; binning factor = 8; λ excitation = 745 nm; λ emission = 800 nm; f-number 2; field of view 13.1). Images were taken 10 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours after injection. Only compound C10(2R,4R) showed accumulation at the tumor site (see Figure 28).
[0255] 3.3 Quantitative biodistribution analysis using radiolabeled compound C11 CAIX ligands are 177 It was synthesized as a DOTAGA conjugate (compound C11) to allow radiolabeling with Lu. Subcutaneous SKRC-52 tumor (200-300 mm 3 ) to Balb / c nude mice, 3 nmol (0.85 MBq) [ 177 [Lu]Lu-C11 was intravenously injected. Mice were sacrificed 6 hours after injection, and the following organs were isolated and measured for radioactivity: tumor, liver, kidney, spleen, stomach, intestine, lung, heart, tail, muscle, and blood. Radioactivity was measured using a Packard Cobra Gamma Counter and plotted as %ID / g ± SEM (n = 4). Values were expressed as [ 177 Lu]Lu-C11 (normalized to the batch used for injection). The radiolabeled compound was detected in tumors and kidneys. Other healthy organs were [ 177 Only the [Lu]Lu-C11 trace is shown, highlighting the selectivity of the novel CAIX ligand (see Figure 29).
