Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to the field of chemical compounds, and in particular to heterocyclic compounds that can be used in the preparation of conjugates, such as antibody drug conjugates. [Background technology]

[0002] In the field of anticancer drug research and development, ADC drugs have attracted worldwide attention due to their targeting properties. ADCs are a new type of anticancer drug in which a payload is linked to an antibody, and typically consist of an antibody, payload, and linker. The target recognition properties of antibodies and the high activity of toxins result in antitumor effects with higher specificity and efficacy than conventional small molecule drugs.

[0003] After entering the body, ADCs deliver toxins to tumor tissues via antigen-targeting antibodies. After ADCs bind to antigens on the surface of tumor cells and are phagocytosed by the cells, they are degraded in the lysosomes, releasing cytotoxins that damage DNA or block cell division, thereby killing the cells. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The linker ensures the stability of the ADC in the blood and allows the toxin to kill after reaching the target. ADC toxins mainly include microtubule inhibitors, DNA damaging agents, and RNA polymerase inhibitors. Linkers also include various types of structures, such as cleavable and non-cleavable. The payload and linker structures are crucial to the efficacy and safety of ADCs. Therefore, the research and development of drug-linker compounds with excellent activity and safety remains a challenge in the field. [Means for solving the problem]

[0112] definition Unless otherwise defined below, the meanings of all technical and scientific terms used herein are intended to be the same as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The technical terms used herein refer to techniques commonly understood in the art and include modifications of techniques or equivalent technical substitutions that are obvious to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, all laboratory procedures used herein, such as genomics, nucleic acid chemistry, and molecular biology, are conventional procedures widely used in the corresponding fields. While the following terms are believed to be well understood by those skilled in the art, the following definitions are provided to better explain the present invention.

[0113] The term "antibody" generally refers to an immunoglobulin molecule composed of two pairs of polypeptide chains (each pair having one light chain (LC) and one heavy chain (HC)). Antibody light chains are classified as κ (kappa) light chains and λ (lambda) light chains. Heavy chains are classified as μ, δ, γ, α, or ε, and the antibody isotypes are defined as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. In light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are connected via a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acids, and heavy chains further contain a "D" region of about 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region consists of one domain, CL. The constant regions are not directly involved in antibody-antigen binding but perform various effector functions, such as mediating the binding of immunoglobulins 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 (C1q). The VH and VL regions can be subdivided into hypervariable regions (called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs)), interspersed with relatively invariant regions called framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL region consists of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus in the order FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions of each heavy / light chain pair (VH and VL) form the respective antigen-binding sites. The amino acid sequences of each region or domain can be numbered according to various schemes known in the art.

[0114] The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the amino acid residues in an antibody variable region that are responsible for antigen binding. Each heavy and light chain variable region contains three CDRs, designated CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3. The exact boundaries of these CDRs can be determined, for example, using the Kabat numbering scheme (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991), the Chothia numbering scheme (Chothia & Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:878-883), the IMGT numbering scheme (Lefranc et al., Dev. Compare. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003) or the AbM numbering scheme (Martin ACR, Cheetham JC, Rees AR (1989) Modeling antibody hypervariable loops: A combined algorithm. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA CDRs can be defined according to various numbering schemes known in the art, such as those defined in [End Page 110] (see, e.g., Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003). For a given antibody, one of skill in the art can readily identify the CDRs defined in each numbering scheme. Furthermore, the correspondence between different numbering schemes is well known to those of skill in the art (see, e.g., Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003).

[0115] In the present invention, the CDRs contained in an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof can be defined according to various numbering schemes known in the art, such as those defined by the Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, or AbM numbering schemes. In some embodiments, the CDRs contained in an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof are defined according to the Chothia numbering scheme.

[0116] The term "framework region" or "FR" residues refers to amino acid residues other than the above-defined CDR residues in antibody variable regions.

[0117] The term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody refers to a polypeptide that is a fragment of an antibody, e.g., a polypeptide that is a fragment of a full-length antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind to the same antigen as the full-length antibody and / or specifically binds to the antigen in competition with the full-length antibody, also referred to as an "antigen-binding portion." See generally, Fundamental Immunology, Ch. 7 (Paul, W., ed., 2nd ed., Raven Press, NY (1989)), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. Non-limiting examples of antigen-binding fragments include Fab fragments, Fab' fragments, F(ab)' fragments, F(ab)' fragments, Fd, Fv, scFv, di-scFv, (scFv)2, disulfide-stabilized Fv proteins ("dsFv"), single domain antibodies (sdAbs, nanobodies), and polypeptides comprising at least a portion of an antibody sufficient to confer polypeptide-specific antigen-binding ability. Genetically engineered antibody variants are reviewed in Holliger et al., 2005; Nat Biotechnol, 23:1126-1136.

[0118] The term "Fd" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; the term "dAb fragment" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of the VH domain (Ward et al., Nature 341:544 546 (1989)); the term "Fab fragment" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains; the term "F(ab')2 fragment" refers to an antibody fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bond in the hinge region; and the term "Fab' fragment" refers to a fragment obtained after reducing the disulfide bond linking the two heavy chain fragments in the F(ab')2 fragment, and consists of one complete light chain and an Fd fragment of a heavy chain (consisting of the VH and CH1 domains).

[0119] The term "Fv" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of one arm of an antibody. An Fv fragment is generally considered the smallest antibody fragment capable of forming a complete antigen-binding site. It is generally believed that the six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable region (e.g., an Fd fragment containing only three CDRs specific for an antigen) can identify and bind to an antigen, although possibly with lower affinity than the complete binding site.

[0120] The term "Fc" refers to an antibody fragment formed by disulfide bonding between the second and third constant regions of the first heavy chain and the second and third constant regions of the second heavy chain of an antibody. The Fc fragment of an antibody has several different functions but is not involved in antigen binding.

[0121] The term "scFv" refers to a single polypeptide chain comprising VL and VH domains, wherein the VL and VH are connected by a linker (e.g., Bird et al., Science 242:423-426 (1988); Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883 (1988); and Pluckthun, The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, Vol. 113, Roseburg and Moore, eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994)). Such scFv molecules may have the general structure NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable prior art linkers consist of repeated GGGGS amino acid sequences or variants thereof. For example, a linker having the amino acid sequence (GGGGS)4 may be used, although variants thereof may also be used (Holliger et al. (1993), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448). Other linkers that can be used in the present invention are described in Alfthan et al. (1995), Protein Eng. 8:725-731; Choi et al. (2001), Eur. J. Immunol. 31:94-106; Hu et al. (1996), Cancer Res. 56:3055-3061; Kipriyanov et al. (1999), J. Mol. Biol. 293:41-56; and Roovers et al. (2001), Cancer Immunol. In some circumstances, a disulfide bond may additionally be present between the VH and VL of the scFv. In some embodiments, the VH and VL domains may be positioned opposite each other in any suitable arrangement, e.g., NH2-VH-VH-COOH, NH 2- It is an scFv containing VL-VL-COOH.

[0122] The term "single-domain antibody (sdAb)" has the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art and refers to an antibody fragment consisting of a single monomeric variable antibody domain (e.g., a single heavy chain variable region) that retains the ability to specifically bind to the same antigen as a full-length antibody (Holt, L. et al., Trends in Biotechnology, 21(11):484-490, 2003). Single domains are also called nanobodies.

[0123] Each of the above antibody fragments retains the ability to specifically bind to the same antigen as the full-length antibody and / or specifically binds to the antigen in competition with the full-length antibody.

[0124] In this specification, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, reference to the term "antibody" includes not only complete antibodies but also antigen-binding fragments of antibodies.

[0125] Those skilled in the art can obtain antigen-binding fragments of antibodies (e.g., the antibody fragments described above) from a given antibody (e.g., an antibody provided by the present invention) using known conventional techniques (e.g., recombinant DNA techniques or enzymatic or chemical cleavage methods), and can screen for specific antigen-binding fragments of antibodies in the same manner as with intact antibodies.

[0126] The term "mouse antibody" refers to an antibody obtained by fusing B cells and myeloma cells from an immunized mouse, screening for mouse hybridomas that can grow indefinitely and secrete antibodies, followed by screening, antibody preparation, and antibody purification; or an antibody secreted and produced by plasma cells that are formed by the differentiation and proliferation of B cells after an antigen has entered the mouse body.

[0127] The term "humanized antibody" refers to a non-human antibody that has been genetically engineered to modify its amino acid sequence to increase its homology with that of a human antibody. Typically, all or a portion of the CDR regions of a humanized antibody are derived from a non-human antibody (donor antibody), and all or a portion of the non-CDR regions (e.g., variable region FRs and / or constant regions) are derived from a human immunoglobulin (acceptor antibody). Humanized antibodies typically retain the expected properties of the donor antibody, such as antigen specificity, affinity, reactivity, the ability to enhance immune cell activity, and the ability to enhance an immune response. The donor antibody may be a mouse, rat, rabbit, or non-human primate (e.g., cynomolgus monkey) antibody that has the expected properties (e.g., antigen specificity, affinity, reactivity, the ability to enhance immune cell activity, and / or the ability to enhance an immune response).

[0128] The term "identity" refers to the sequence identity between two polypeptides or two nucleic acids. When a position in two compared sequences is occupied by the same base or amino acid monomer subunit (e.g., a position in each of two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, or a position in each of two polypeptides is occupied by lysine), the molecules are identical at that position. The "percent identity" between two sequences is a function of the number of matching positions shared by the two sequences, divided by the number of positions compared, and multiplied by 100. For example, if six of ten positions in two sequences are identical, the two sequences have 60% identity. For example, the DNA sequences CTGACT and CAGGTT share 50% identity (three of six total positions are identical). Generally, the comparison is performed when the two sequences are compared to produce the greatest identity. Such comparisons can be accomplished, for example, using the method of Needleman et al. (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443-453, which can be conveniently performed using a computer program such as the Align program (DNAstar, Inc.). Additionally, the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller (Comput. Appl. Biosci., 4:11-17 (1988)), which is integrated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), may be used to measure percent identity between two amino acid sequences using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4. The algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (J Mol Biol. 48:444-453 (1970)) in the GAP program of the GCG software package (available from www.gcg.com) may also be used to measure percent identity between two amino acid sequences using a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

[0129] As used herein, the term "variant," in the context of polypeptides (including polypeptides), also refers to a polypeptide or peptide that contains an amino acid sequence that has been modified by introducing substitutions, deletions, or alterations into the amino acid sequence by introducing amino acid residues. In some cases, the term "variant" also refers to a polypeptide or peptide that has been further modified (i.e., by covalently attaching any type of molecule to the polypeptide or peptide). For example, but not limited to, a polypeptide may be modified by, for example, glycosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization with known protecting / blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, linkage to a cellular ligand or other protein, etc. Derivatives of polypeptides or peptides may also be produced by chemical modification using techniques known to those of skill in the art, including specific chemical cleavage, acetylation, formylation, metabolic synthesis of tunicamycin, etc. Variants also have similar, identical, or improved functions as the polypeptide or peptide from which they are derived.

[0130] As used herein, the term "specifically binds" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as the reaction between an antibody and its target antigen. The strength or affinity of a specific binding interaction can be measured by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) or half maximal effective concentration (EC 50 ) can be expressed as

[0131] The specific binding properties between two molecules can be measured using methods known in the art. One method involves measuring the rates of formation and dissociation of the antigen-binding site / antigen complex. The "association rate constant" (k or k) and the "dissociation rate constant" (k or k) can both be calculated from the concentrations and the actual rates of binding and dissociation (see Malmqvist M, Nature, 1993, 361:186-187). The ratio of k / k is equal to the dissociation constant, K (see Davies et al., Annual Rev Biochem, 1990; 59:439-473). The values ​​of K, k, and k may be measured by any valid method. In some embodiments, dissociation constants may be measured using biolayer interferometry (e.g., ForteBio Octet). Alternatively, dissociation constants may be measured using surface plasmon resonance technology (e.g., Biacore) or Kinexa.

[0132] The term "conservative substitution" refers to an amino acid substitution that does not adversely affect or alter the intended properties of a protein / polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence. Conservative substitutions may be introduced by standard techniques known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Conservative amino acid substitutions include replacing an amino acid residue with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain, such as substituting a residue that is physically or functionally similar to the corresponding amino acid residue (e.g., similar size, shape, charge, chemical properties including the ability to form covalent or hydrogen bonds, etc.). Families of amino acid residues with similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, and histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), polar uncharged side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Therefore, it is preferred to replace a corresponding amino acid residue with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Methods for identifying conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art (see, e.g., Brummell et al., Biochem. 32:1180-1187 (1993); Kobayashi et al., Protein Eng. 12(10):879-884 (1999); and Burks et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Set USA 94:412-417 (1997), which are incorporated herein by reference).

[0276] II. Antibody Preparation We immunized fully humanized mice with human B7-H3-4Ig-His protein and measured serum titers by ELISA and flow cytometry. Based on the titer results, we selected optimal mice. Spleen cells were then fused, screened, and subcloned to measure the activity of various monoclonal human / monkey proteins and cells. The optimal clone, 20G11G6 / 2#, was obtained. After modifying the antibody sequence to eliminate PTM sites, reduce PI, and eliminate ADCC activity in the heavy chain constant region, we finally obtained fully human antibody 2#8890 (heavy chain variable region, SEQ ID NO: 3; light chain variable region, SEQ ID NO: 4), which contains a sequence (SEQ ID NO: 31) for modifying the human IgG1 heavy chain constant region to enhance ADCC activity, and a human κ light chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 32). This fully humanized antibody was constructed (see Table 1). The antibody was codon-optimized and gene-synthesized by Nanjing GenScript Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and constructed into the pTT5 plasmid. The heavy and light chain plasmids were co-transfected into CHO-S cells, and the expressed antibody in the supernatant was purified using Protein A to obtain the corresponding antibody protein 2#8890. The heavy and light chain amino acid sequences of 2#8890 are set forth in SEQ ID NO:42 and SEQ ID NO:43, respectively.

[0277] hIgG1 is an anti-chicken lysozyme antibody, whose heavy chain variable region was fused to a mutated human IgG1 heavy chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 31) and whose light chain variable region was fused to a wild-type human κ light chain constant region (SEQ ID NO: 32). The antibody hIgG1 was obtained by expression and purification using the method described above.

[0278] The B7-H3 control antibody DS7300 was derived from Patent No. CN103687945A. After codon optimization, the antibody heavy chain variable region nucleotide sequence was synthesized and cloned into the human IgG1 heavy chain constant region (sequence number 31) containing mutations. The light chain variable region nucleotide sequence was synthesized into a pTT5 vector containing the wild-type kappa light chain constant region (sequence number 32). The antibody DS7300 was obtained by expressing and purifying it using the above method.

[0317] The EC20 affinity of ADC17 to HT29 tumor cells was measured using the anti-human B7-H3 antibody conjugate. 50 The EC 50The affinity of the anti-human B7-H3 fully human antibody conjugate was 8.054 ng / ml, and the affinity results for the other antibody conjugates were as shown in Table 3. The affinity results for the anti-human B7-H3 fully human antibody conjugates to CHOS-human B7-H3-4Ig and CHOS-human B7-H3-2IG cells are as shown in Table 4, and the affinity results for the anti-human B7-H3 antibody conjugates to CHOS-rat B7-H3 and CHOS-monkey B7-H3 cells are as shown in Table 5. These results demonstrate that the conjugates prepared with the drug linker compounds of the present invention bind to monkey B7-H3-overexpressing cells but not to rat B7-H3-overexpressing cells.

[0321] 3. Detection of cellular endocytosis of anti-human B7-H3 antibody complexes Endocytosis of the anti-human B7-H3 antibody complex in human gastric cancer cells NCI-N87 (ATCC), human breast squamous cell carcinoma cells HCC1806 (ATCC), and human non-small cell lung cancer cells HCC827 (ATCC) was detected using a flow cytometer (Thermo, model Attune NxT). Adherent cells were digested with trypsin-EDTA (0.25%) (Thermo) solution, counted, and the cell density was adjusted to 1 × 10 using complete medium. 5 The cell suspension was adjusted to 1 × 10 cells / ml, and 100 μl of the cell suspension was added to each well of a 96-well plate (cell count: 1 × 10 4(cells / well). The 96-well plate was incubated at 37°C in a CO2 incubator for 24 h. The 96-well plate was removed, the medium was aspirated and discarded, and 50 μl of fresh complete medium was added to each well. The antibody conjugate to be measured was serially diluted in six steps using complete medium. pHrodo reagent (Thermo, Cat# Z25612) at 300 μg / ml was diluted to 12 μg / ml in complete medium (final pHrodo concentration: 3 μg / ml). The serially diluted antibody to be measured and the diluted pHrodo reagent were mixed equally 1:1 (30 μl:30 μl) and incubated at room temperature, protected from light, for 30 min. 50 μl of the mixture of antibody to be measured and pHrodo reagent was added to the 96-well plate and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 24 h. The 96-well plate was removed, the medium was aspirated and discarded, and the plate was washed once with sterile PBS. 100 μl of trypsin-EDTA (0.25%) was added to each well to digest the cells, and 100 μl of complete medium was added to neutralize the cells. The cells were dispersed by spraying and then detected by FACS. Data processing: The median YL-1H values ​​were calculated and entered into GraphPad Prism 6 software, and the EC 50 The results are shown in Table 6. All of the antibody-drug conjugates prepared with the drug-linker compounds of the present invention (e.g., ADC 5 and ADC 9) had excellent cellular endocytosis.

[0322] [Table 41]

[0323] 4. In vitro cell killing detection of anti-human B7-H3 antibody-drug conjugates Adherent cells of A375, Calu6-B7-H3, and U87MG-B7-H3 were digested using trypsin-EDTA (0.25%) (Thermo) solution, counted, and cultured at a cell density of 1 × 10 using complete medium. 4 , 5×10 4 , 1×10 4The cell concentration was adjusted to 1000, 5000, or 1000 cells / ml, and 100 μl of the cell suspension was added to each well of a 96-well plate (cell counts of 1000, 5000, and 1000 cells / well, respectively). The 96-well plate was incubated at 37°C in a CO2 incubator and cultured for 24 hours. The ADC to be measured was diluted in complete medium, starting at a final concentration of 3333.3 nM, with 12 four-fold dilutions. 100 μl of the diluted ADC was added to a 96-well plate and cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 4 to 7 days. The 96-well plate was removed, and 20 μl of CCK8 reagent was added to each well. The plate was then incubated at 37°C for 2 to 3 hours. The OD was measured using a microplate reader. 450nm After detecting the signal values, they were input into GraphPad Prism 6 software and calculated as IC 50 was calculated, and the results are shown in Table 7.

[0324] [Table 42]

[0325] As a result, it was demonstrated that the antibody-drug conjugates produced with the drug linker compounds of the present invention have a clear killing effect on tumor cells.

[0326] 5.2 In vivo efficacy of various conjugates of #8890 in HCC1806 model Human breast squamous cell carcinoma cells HCC1806 (ATCC) were cultured in RPMI1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in an incubator containing 5% CO2. When the cells reached the exponential growth phase, the culture medium was sampled for mycoplasma detection, and the cells were then harvested and counted. 2 × 10 cells were placed on the right scapula of each mouse. 6 HCC1806 cells were subcutaneously inoculated and suspended in 0.1 ml of PBS. The average tumor volume was 100–200 mm. 3When tumors grew to 1000 mg / kg, mice with tumors that were too small or too large were removed. The remaining mice were randomly assigned to six groups, each consisting of six mice, based on tumor volume and body weight. A single dose of the drug was administered via tail vein injection (DAR4 group: 10 mg / kg, DAR8 group: 5 mg / kg). Tumor volume and body weight were measured twice weekly after administration. See Table 8 for specific results.

[0327] [Table 43]

[0328] The results showed that the mice in the treatment group had stable body weight and were well tolerated. 95 days after a single administration, the mice in the ADC 5 group showed complete tumor response. This demonstrates that the antibody-drug conjugates produced with the drug linker compounds of the present invention have significant tumor-suppressing activity.

[0329] 6. Efficacy Measurement of Various Doses of Antibody-Drug Conjugates in the HCC1806 Model Human breast squamous cell carcinoma cells HCC1806 (ATCC) were cultured in RPMI1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in an incubator containing 5% CO2. When the cells reached the exponential growth phase, the culture medium was sampled for mycoplasma detection, and the cells were then harvested and counted. 2 × 10 cells were placed on the right scapula of each mouse. 6 HCC1806 cells were subcutaneously inoculated and suspended in 0.1 ml of PBS. The average tumor volume was 100–200 mm. 3 When tumors grew to 1000 mcg, mice with tumors that were too small or too large were removed. The remaining mice were randomly assigned to 12 groups, each consisting of 6 mice, based on tumor volume and body weight. A single dose was administered via tail vein injection. Tumor volume and body weight were measured twice weekly after administration. See Table 9 for specific results.

[0330] [Table 44]

[0331] As a result, both the ADC 5 group and the ADC 9 group showed excellent efficacy, and the mice had stable body weight and good tolerability, demonstrating that the antibody-drug conjugates prepared with the drug linker compounds of the present invention have significant tumor-inhibitory activity and good safety.

[0332] 7. Drug efficacy measurement of various antibody-drug conjugates in the NCI-N87 model Human gastric cancer cells NCI-N87 (ATCC) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in an incubator containing 5% CO2. When the cells reached the exponential growth phase, the culture medium was sampled for mycoplasma detection, and the cells were then harvested and counted. Each mouse was injected with 5 × 10 cells into the right scapula. 6 NCI-N87 cells were subcutaneously inoculated and suspended in 0.1 ml of PBS-based Matrigel. 3 When tumors grew to 100% tumor volume, mice with tumors that were too small or too large were removed. The remaining mice were randomly assigned to eight groups, each consisting of six mice, based on tumor volume and body weight. Administration was via tail vein injection twice daily. Tumor volume and body weight were measured twice weekly after administration. See Table 10 for specific results.

[0333] [Table 45]

[0334] As a result, the mice in each administration group showed stable weight and good tolerability, demonstrating that the antibody-drug conjugates prepared with the drug linker compounds of the present invention have significant tumor-inhibitory activity and good safety.

[0335] 8. Detection of binding activity of anti-human B7-H3 antibody-drug conjugate to Fc receptors The dynamic affinity of the 2#8890 antibody-drug conjugate to the human Fc receptor proteins CD16a, CD32a, CD32b, C1q, and FcRn was measured using ForteBio (Pall Life Sciences). The specific method was as follows: Biotinylated proteins were captured in PBST solution using an SA Sensor (Pall Life Sciences). The antibody and conjugate were diluted to an initial concentration of 5000 nM in PBST, and then diluted two-fold in seven steps to allow binding and dissociation. The measurement results were analyzed in Data Analysis 11.0 software using 1:1 mode and global fitting to obtain the binding rate, dissociation rate, and affinity constant. The results are shown in Table 11.

[0336] [Table 46]

[0337] As a result, the antibody-drug conjugates prepared using the drug linker compounds of the present invention do not bind to the Fc receptors CD16a, CD32a, CD32b, and C1q protein, thereby reducing nonspecific killing mediated by Fc receptors and improving drug safety. At the same time, these conjugates retain FcRn protein binding activity and do not affect the half-life of the drug.

[0338] 9. Pharmacokinetic study of total antibody (Tab), ADC, and payload in serum after multiple intravenous administration of anti-human B7-H3 antibody-drug conjugates to cynomolgus monkeys ELISA and LC-MS / MS were used to quantitatively detect ADCs (ADC5, ADC9), total antibodies (TAb), and payloads in cynomolgus monkey serum. The standard curve quantitative ranges for ADCs (ADC5, ADC9) and total antibodies (TAb) were 11.72–3000.00 ng / mL, and the linear range for payloads was 0.1–40 ng / mL. Both ADCs (ADC5, ADC9) and total antibodies (TAb) used B7-H3 protein as the capture protein. After incorporation into a 96-well microplate, total antibodies (TAb) were detected using goat anti-human IgG-HRP; ADCs (ADC5, ADC9) used anti-toxin mouse antibody and goat anti-mouse IgG as the secondary and detection antibodies, respectively. Color development was achieved by the action of the enzyme and substrate, and the readings were performed using a SpectraMax i3x (Molecular Devices) microplate reader. The concentration of each sample was calculated by fitting a standard curve using the 4-P parameter method. The color depth and the concentration of ADC (ADC 5, ADC 9) and total antibody (TAb) showed a positive correlation. LC-MS / MS analysis was performed using a Shimadzu LC 30-AD flow unit coupled to a SCIEX QTRAP 5500+ (SCIEX) mass spectrometer, using (+)ESI ionization with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) selected. The column was an Xbridge C18 50 x 4.6 mm, 5 μm column. The analyte compound 1-10 ion pair was 510.2 / 435.2. Sample pretreatment involved protein precipitation using acetonitrile. Results: After multiple intravenous administration of ADC5 and ADC9 to cynomolgus monkeys, measurements showed that the ADC molecules (e.g., ADC5 and ADC9) prepared with the drug linker compounds of the present application exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic properties, were relatively stable in the systemic circulation, and released only small amounts of free toxin.

[0339] [Table 47]

[0340] [Table 48]

[0341] [Table 49]

[0342] 10. Repeated dose toxicity test The repeat-dose toxicity study included a four-dose repeat toxicity study in which ADC5 and ADC9 were administered intravenously to cynomolgus monkeys.

[0343] This study consisted of three groups, one animal per group per sex. Each group received 30 mg / kg of ADC 5, ADC 9, and saline (volume: 10 mL / kg) intravenously, once weekly for a total of two doses. Subsequently, ADC 5, ADC 9, and saline at doses increased to 50 mg / kg were administered once weekly for a total of two doses. No drug-related deaths or moribundity were observed during the study. Animals in the ADC 5 group experienced decreased appetite, alopecia, skin pigmentation, and weight loss during the administration period. Female monkeys experienced decreases in WBC, NEUT, LYM, and MONO. Male monkeys experienced decreases in RBC, HGB, and HCT, and increases in FGB, which tended to recover during the recovery period. Animals in the ADC 9 group experienced decreased appetite during the administration period. Female monkeys experienced decreases in WBC, NEUT, LYM, and MONO, and increases in FGB. In male monkeys, elevated FBG and decreased RBC, HGB, and HCT were observed. During the recovery period, pigmentation and slight hair loss were observed at the injection site, but all other changes showed signs of recovery. Under these experimental conditions, cynomolgus monkeys were intravenously injected with 30 mg / kg of ADC 5 and ADC 9 once a week for two consecutive weeks. The dose was then increased to 50 mg / kg of ADC 5 and ADC 9 once a week for two consecutive weeks. All animals tolerated the treatment. The maximum non-severely toxic dose (HNSTD) was 50 mg / kg.

[0344] 11. Tumor growth inhibition of antibody-drug conjugates in subcutaneously transplanted tumor models in mice Formulations containing the ADC of the present invention were administered via tail vein injection to a mouse CDX model in which human breast squamous cell carcinoma cells HCC1806 had been subcutaneously transplanted. Changes in tumor volume and animal body weight were measured twice a week, and the tumor-suppressing effect of the ADC of the present invention on cancer-bearing mice was calculated.

[0345] Experimental animal: Balb / c Nude mouse (Chengdu Pharmacological Biotechnology Co., Ltd.)

[0346] Cell line: Human breast squamous cell carcinoma cell line HCC1806 (ATCC)

[0347] Experimental Method: HCC1806 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in 5% CO2. HCC1806 cells in the exponential growth phase were harvested, resuspended in PBS to an appropriate concentration, and subcutaneously inoculated into female Balb / c nude mice to establish a breast squamous cell carcinoma model. The average tumor volume was approximately 200 mm3. 3 At approximately 10 days, mice were randomly assigned according to tumor size and administered the respective drugs. The groups and their doses were as follows: Solvent control group (i.e., negative control, vehicle group): 0.9% NaCl injection was administered. ADC 5: dose 3 mg / kg. ADC 9: dose 3 mg / kg. ADC 11: dose 3.16 mg / kg. ADC 17: dose 3.32 mg / kg. Each group was administered via tail vein injection (iv) on Day 0, for a total of one dose. After administration, the mice were weighed twice a week, and the long and short diameters of the tumor were measured with calipers. The tumor volume was calculated using the following formula: V=0.5a×b 2 In the formula, a and b represent the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The mortality of the animals was observed daily and recorded.

[0348] The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) (%) was calculated using the following formula. V T末 >V T0 , TGI(%)=[1-(V T末 -V T0 ) / (V C末 -V C0)] × 100% or V T末 ≦V T0 , TGI(%)=[1-(V T末 -V T0 ) / V T0 ]×100%. In the formula, V T末 : Mean tumor volume at the end of the experiment for each treatment group V T0 : Mean tumor volume at the start of treatment V C末 : Mean tumor volume at the end of the experiment in the negative control group V C0 : Mean tumor volume at the start of administration in the negative control group

[0349] The relative tumor growth rate T / C (%) was calculated using the following formula: T / C=(V T末 / V T0 ) / (V C末 / V C0 )

[0350] The ADCs of the present invention exhibited significant tumor growth inhibition in an HCC1806 breast squamous cell carcinoma xenograft tumor model. On day 14, the tumor growth inhibition rates (TGI) of ADC 5, ADC 9, ADC 11, and ADC 17 of the present invention were 96.68%, 98.50%, 82.61%, and 86.69%, respectively, compared with the vehicle group, demonstrating significant differences compared with the control group. During the treatment period, no deaths or significant weight loss were observed in animals in any treatment group, and no significant drug toxicity was observed. The ADCs of the present invention were well tolerated by mice. See Table 15 for specific results.

[0351] [Table 50]

[0352] 12. Inhibitory effect of antibody-drug conjugates on in vitro cell activity (1) Cell inoculation: First, tumor cells NCI-H1975 and HT-29 were cultured in the corresponding medium, digested with pancreatin, centrifuged, resuspended, counted, and adjusted to a concentration suitable for inoculation onto plates. See Table 16 for tumor cell sources.

[0353] [Table 51]

[0354] After the cells attached, the medium was removed from the cells and diluted antibody drug conjugate ADC 19 was added to the wells of the plate and incubated for 96 hours.

[0355] In vitro cell activity detection: After incubation, 50 μL of Cell Counting-Lite™ 2.0 Reagent (Vazyme) was added to each well and mixed evenly by shaking in the dark. After 10 minutes of reaction, detection was possible and read using a microplate reader (manufacturer: BMG, model: PHERAStar-FS). By adding Cell Counting-Lite™, background RLU was obtained in wells without cells, and control RLU was obtained in wells with cells but no compound. Cell inhibition rate = 1 - (sample RLU - background RLU) / (cell control RLU - background RLU) x 100%. A four-parameter model was used to fit the curve and calculate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) of ADC 19. 50 ) was calculated.

[0356] The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) of ADC 19 against NCI-H1975 cell line 50 ) 5.00 μg / mL, half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) of ADC 19 against HT-29 cell line 50 )4.56μg / mL.

[0357] As a result, it was demonstrated that antibody-drug conjugates (e.g., ADC19) formed using the drug linkers of the present invention have significant tumor cell-killing activity.

[0358] 13. Efficacy of anti-human Her2 antibody-drug conjugates in the NCI-N87 model NCI-N87 cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C and 5% CO2. Exponentially growing NCI-N87 cells were harvested, resuspended in PBS to an appropriate concentration, and subcutaneously inoculated into female Balb / c-nu mice to establish a gastric cancer model. When the average tumor volume reached approximately 160 mm3, mice were randomly assigned based on tumor size to the following groups: a solvent control group (i.e., negative control, vehicle group), a 1 mg / kg group of the present invention's trastuzumab-A-05, a 1 mg / kg group of trastuzumab-A-14, and a 1 mg / kg group of trastuzumab-A-24. Each group received three doses via tail vein injection (iv) on days 0, 7, and 14. After administration, mice were weighed twice weekly, and the long and short diameters of the tumors were measured with calipers. Tumor volume was calculated using the following formula: V = 0.5a × b2, where a and b represent the major and minor diameters of the tumor, respectively. The mortality of the animals was observed daily and recorded.

[0359] The ADCs of the present invention exhibited significant tumor growth inhibition in an NCI-N87 gastric cancer xenograft model. Compared with the vehicle control group, the tumor growth inhibition rates (TGI) of the 1 mg / kg trastuzumab-A-05 group, the 1 mg / kg trastuzumab-A-14 group, and the 1 mg / kg trastuzumab-A-24 group were 81.62%, 107.38%, and 61.43%, respectively. By day 30, no deaths or significant weight loss were observed in any of the treatment groups, and no significant drug toxicity was observed. During the treatment period, mice tolerated the ADCs prepared with the drug linker compounds of the present invention well. See Table 17 for specific results.
