[0002] Reference to electronically submitted sequence list This application was prepared on 17 June 2020 and is incorporated by reference in a text file titled 47970WO Seqlist, which was submitted with this application and has a size of 15,951 bytes. [Background technology]
[0003] introduction Many therapeutic agents act by binding to functionally important sites on target proteins and thereby regulating their activity, or by recruiting immune effectors, as is the case with many monoclonal antibody drugs. However, there is an undeveloped reservoir of these proteins that are considered "undruggable" because they do not readily conform to currently available therapeutic targeting approaches. Therefore, there is a need for therapies that can target a wider range of proteins.
[0004] Mannose-6-phosphate is a monosaccharide ligand that plays a crucial role in the intracellular retention and secretion of lysosomal hydrolases to which it binds. When this sugar residue is incorporated into newly synthesized enzymes, the enzymes are transported from the Golgi apparatus to lysosomes, where they are activated. Cell surface mannose-6-phosphate receptors (M6PRs), bound to the cell membrane, play a role in many biological processes, including the secretion and internalization of such lysosomal enzymes. Endocytosis by M6PRs enables the internalization of compounds containing mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) ligands into cells and their transport to lysosomes.
[0005] Alternative ligands that provide binding to cell surface M6PR and subsequent transport across the cell membrane are of great interest. [Overview of the project] [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] This disclosure provides a class of compounds comprising ligand moieties that specifically bind to cell surface receptors. In some embodiments, the ligand moiety binds to mannose-6-phosphate receptors (M6PR). In some embodiments, the ligand moiety binds to cell surface asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR). Cell surface M6PR or ASGPR-binding compounds can trigger the receptor to take up the bound compound into the cell. The ligand moieties of this disclosure can be conjugated to various parts of interest without affecting the specific binding to cell surface receptors, e.g., M6PR or ASGPR, and their function. Compounds that are conjugates of ligand moieties conjugated to biomolecules such as antibodies are also provided, and the conjugates can utilize cellular pathways to remove specific proteins of interest from the cell surface or extracellular environment. For example, the conjugates described herein can sequester and / or degrade target molecules of interest within cellular lysosomes.

Also provided herein are conjugates comprising a moiety X that binds to such cell surface receptors, e.g., internalized cell surface receptors, for sequesteration and / or lysosomal degradation. In certain embodiments, the cell surface receptor is a mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR). In certain embodiments, the cell surface receptor is an asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR).
[0014] This disclosure concerns compounds of formula (I): [ka] or a salt thereof, in the formula, X is a portion that binds to a cell surface receptor selected from M6PR and ASGPR (for example, as described herein), n is between 1 and 500.

Methods by which the compounds and conjugates of this disclosure find applications are also described.
[0016] M6PR binding compound As summarized above, this disclosure provides a class of compounds comprising a ligand moiety that specifically binds to the cell surface mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR). The M6PR ligand moiety of this disclosure can be ligated to various parts of interest without affecting the specific binding to the cell surface receptor M6PR and its function. We have demonstrated that the compounds of this disclosure can utilize the function of cell surface M6PR in biological systems, for example, internalization and sequestration of the compounds into cellular lysosomes, and possibly subsequent lysosomal degradation. The compounds of this disclosure have been used in a variety of applications.
[0017] The compounds of this disclosure can specifically bind to cell surface M6PR, for example, to the internalized M6PR cell surface receptor. In certain embodiments, the surface M6PR is human M6PR. In certain embodiments, the M6PR is the Homo sapiens insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) (see, for example, NCBI reference sequence: NM_000876.3), also known as the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR). MP6R endogenously transports proteins with N-linked glycans capped with mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) residues to lysosomes, where they circulate between endosomes, the cell surface, and the Golgi complex.

The M6PR-binding compound can be monovalent or multivalent (e.g., divalent or trivalent or higher valency), a monovalent compound contains a single M6PR ligand moiety, and a multivalent compound contains two or more such moieties.
[0019] Compounds containing such X (e.g., as described herein) can bind to other receptors and can bind with lower affinity, e.g., as determined by an immunoassay or other assay known in the art. In certain embodiments, X, or a compound or conjugate described herein containing such X, specifically binds to cell surface M6PR with an affinity that is at least 2 logs, 2.5 logs, 3 logs, 4 logs or more greater than the affinity when X or the compound or conjugate binds to another cell surface receptor. In certain embodiments, X, e.g., M6P or an M6P analog or derivative, or a compound described herein containing X specifically binds to M6PR with an affinity (K d ) of 20 mM or less. In certain embodiments, such binding has an affinity (K d ) of about 20 mM or less, about 10 mM, about 1 mM, about 100 μM, about 10 μM, about 1 μM, about 100 nM, about 10 nM, or 1 nM or less.

The hydrophilic head group may be any convenient group that is charged or readily capable of hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interaction under aqueous or physiological conditions. The hydrophilic head group may be a structural or functional mimic of the 6-phosphate group of M6P having desirable stability. The hydrophilic head group may have a MW of less than 200, e.g., less than 150 or less than 100. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic head group is a phosphonate. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic head group is a thiophosphonate. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic head group is a phosphate, thiophosphate, or dithiophosphate.
[0022] In some embodiments, the mannose sugar ring of X is linked to an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl group, which together provide a moiety with desirable binding affinity and activity at the M6P receptor of interest. Multiple M6PR binding moieties X can be linked together to provide a polyvalent bond to M6PR.

[0134] Examples of ASGPR-binding compounds of formula (Ib) are shown in Tables 8-9.
[0135] Linker The terms “linker,” “linking portion,” and “linking group” are used interchangeably and refer to a linking portion that covalently bonds two or more parts or compounds, such as a ligand and other parts of interest. In some cases, a linker is divalent and connects two parts. In some cases, a linker is a branched linking group, which is a trivalent or higher polyvalent linker. In some cases, a linker connecting two or more parts has a linear or branched skeleton with a length, measured between the two or more parts, of 500 atoms or less (e.g., 400 atoms or less, 300 atoms or less, 200 atoms or less, 100 atoms or less, 80 atoms, 60 atoms or less, 50 atoms or less, 40 atoms or less, 30 atoms or less, or even 20 atoms or less). The linking portion can be a covalent bond connecting two groups, or a linear or branched chain of carbon atoms with a length of 1 to 500 atoms, for example, approximately 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, or 500 atoms, and the linker can be linear, branched, cyclic, or a single atom. In some cases, one, two, three, four, five or more, ten or more, or more carbon atoms in the linker skeleton can be optionally substituted with heteroatoms, such as sulfur, nitrogen, or oxygen heteroatoms. In some cases, if the linker contains a PEG group, every third atom in that segment of the linker skeleton is substituted with oxygen. Bonds between skeleton atoms can be saturated or unsaturated, and typically there are one, two, or three or fewer unsaturated bonds in the linker skeleton. The linker may contain one or more substituents, such as alkyl, aryl, or alkenyl groups. The linker may contain, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: oligo(ethylene glycol), ether, thioether, disulfide, amide, carbonate, carbamate, tertiary amine, alkyl (which may be linear or branched), such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, 1-methylethyl (isopropyl), n-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl (t-butyl). The linker skeleton may contain cyclic groups, such as aryl, heterocyclic, cycloalkyl, or heterocyclic groups, with two or more atoms of the cyclic group, such as two, three, or four atoms, included in the skeleton.
[0136] In some embodiments, the “linker” or linking portion originates from a molecule having two reactive ends, one for conjugation to a portion of interest (Y), such as a biomolecule (e.g., an antibody), and the other for conjugation to a portion that binds to a cell surface receptor (denoted as X). For example, if the cell surface receptor is a mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR), the portion may be mannose-6-phosphate or an analogue of the mannose-6-phosphate portion. If Y is a polypeptide, the polypeptide-binding reactive end of the linker may optionally be a site that can be conjugated to the polypeptide via a cysteine-thiol or lysineamine group on the polypeptide, and therefore may be a thiol-reactive group, such as maleimide or dibromomaleimide, or as defined herein, or an amine-reactive group, such as an active ester (e.g., perfluorophenyl ester or tetrafluorophenyl ester), or as defined herein.

[0205] Part of interest (Y) As summarized above, the M6PR or ASGPR-conjugated compounds of this disclosure generally comprise a ligating portion Y of interest. In some embodiments, the portion Y of interest is a chemoselective ligation group or its precursor, and the compounds can find use in the preparation of various conjugates via the conjugation of the chemoselective ligation group to a compatible reactive group of another portion of interest, as described herein, for example.
[0206] Chemoselective ligation groups In certain embodiments of formulas (I) to (XVIa), Y is a chemoselective ligation group or its precursor. A chemoselective ligation group is a group or functional group having a reactive function that enables conjugation of a second part to a compatible group. For example, a chemoselective ligation group (or its precursor) may be one of a pair of groups associated with conjugation chemistry, e.g., azido-alkyne click chemistry, copper-free click chemistry, Staudinger ligation, tetrazine ligation, hydrazine-iso-Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) ligation, cysteine reactive ligation chemistry (e.g., thiol-maleimide, thiol-haloacetamide, or alkyne hydrothiolation), amine-active ester coupling, reductive amination, dialkyl squalate chemistry, etc.
[0207] Chemoselective ligation groups that can be used to link two parts include, but are not limited to, aminos (e.g., N-terminal amino or lysine side chain groups of polypeptides), azides, aryl azides, alkynyls (e.g., ethinyl or cyclooctin or derivatives), active esters (e.g., N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters, sulfo-NHS esters, or PFP esters or thioesters), haloacetamides (e.g., iodoacetamide or bromoacetamide), chloroacetyl, bromoacetyl, hydrazides, maleimides, vinyl sulfones, 2-sulfonylpyridine, cyano-alkynes, thiols (e.g., cysteine residues), disulfides or protected thiols, isocyanates, isothiocyanates, aldehydes, ketones, alkoxyamines, hydrazides, aminooxy, phosphines, HIPS hydrazinyl-indolyl groups, or aza-HIPS hydrazinyl-pyrrolo-pyridinyl groups, tetrazines, cyclooctene, squalates, and others.
[0208] In some cases, chemoselective ligation groups enable spontaneous conjugation to compatible chemical groups when the two groups are in contact under favorable conditions (e.g., copper-free click chemical conditions). In other cases, chemoselective ligation groups enable conjugation to compatible chemical groups when the two groups are in contact in the presence of a catalyst or other reagent (e.g., copper-catalyzed click chemical conditions).
[0209] In some embodiments, the chemoselective ligation group is a photoactive ligation group. For example, upon irradiation with ultraviolet light, the diazirine group can form a reactive carbene and be inserted into the CH, NH, and OH bonds of the second portion.
[0210] In some cases, Y is a reactive functional group or a precursor of a functional group that enables conjugation to a compatible group of the second part. For example, carboxylic acids are precursors of chemoselective ligation groups of active esters.
[0211] In certain embodiments of formulas (Ia) to (XVIa), Y is a reactive moiety capable of forming a covalent bond to the polypeptide (for example, using an amino acid side chain of the polypeptide having a compatible reactive group). The reactive moiety may be referred to as a chemoselective ligation group.
[0212] In certain embodiments of formulas (Ia) to (XVIa), Y is a thioreactive chemoselective ligation group (as shown, for example, in Table 4). In some cases, Y may generate a residue moiety Z resulting from the covalent bonding of a thiol-reactive chemoselective ligation group to one or more cysteine residues of a protein, e.g., Ab.
[0213] In certain embodiments of formulas (Ia) to (XVIa), Y is an amino-reactive chemoselective ligation group (as shown, for example, in Table 4). In some cases, Y may generate a residue moiety Z resulting from the covalent bonding of an amine-reactive chemoselective ligation group to one or more cysteine residues of a protein, e.g., Ab.

[0275] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt that is suitable for use in contact with human and lower animal tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, or allergic reactions. pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, SMBerge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 66:1-19 (1977). Salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the conjugate compound, or separately by reacting the free basic functional group of the compound with a suitable organic acid. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, non-toxic acid addition salts, or salts of amino groups formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, or phosphoric acid, or organic acids such as acetic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, adipine, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, citrate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, gluconate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, laurate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, phosphate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, p-toluenesulfonate, and valerate.

In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, L is bound to a cysteine residue of Ab via a thioether bond, as described above. In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, L is bound to two cysteine residues of Ab via two thioether bonds, the two cysteine residues derived from an open cysteine-cysteine disulfide bond of Ab, as described above. In certain embodiments, the open cysteine-cysteine disulfide bond is an interchain disulfide bond.
[0278] In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, when L is bound to a lysine residue of P via an amide bond, m is an integer from 1 to 80. In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, when L is bound to a cysteine residue of P via a thioether bond, m is an integer from 1 to 8.
[0279] In certain embodiments, conjugation to polypeptide P or antibody Ab may be via site-specific conjugation. Site-specific conjugation may result in, for example, a uniform loading and minimization of a conjugate subpopulation with potentially altered antigen binding or pharmacokinetics. In certain embodiments, for example, the conjugation may involve operations such as cysteine substitution at a position on the polypeptide or antibody, e.g., providing a reactive thiol group, which does not disrupt the folding and assembly of the polypeptide or antibody, or alters the polypeptide or antigen binding (e.g., Junutula et al., J.Immunol.Meth.2008;332:41-52, and Junutula et al., Nature). See Biotechnol.2008;26:925-32 and also see WO2006 / 034488 (which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Another non-limiting approach involves co-translationally inserting selenocysteine into a polypeptide or antibody sequence by recoding the stop codon UGA from termination to selenocysteine insertion, enabling site-specific covalent conjugation of selenocysteine at the nucleophilic selenool group in the presence of other native amino acids (e.g., Hofer). See et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2008;105:12451-56, and Hofer et al., Biochemistry 2009;48(50):12047-57. Further non-limiting techniques that enable site-specific conjugation to polypeptides or antibodies include, for example, the manipulation of non-natural amino acids including p-acetylphenylalanine (p-acetyl-Phe), p-azidomethyl-N-phenylalanine (p-azidomethyl-Phe), and azidridine (azido-Lys) at specific linkage sites, and may further include manipulating proprietary functional tags such as LPXTG, LLQGA, sialic acid, and GlcNac for enzyme-mediated conjugation. See Jackson, Org. Process Res. Dev. 2016;20:852-866, and Tsuchikama and An, Protein Cell 2018;9(1):33-46, the contents of each of these are incorporated together by reference. See also US2019 / 0060481A1 and US2016 / 0060354A1, the contents of each of these are incorporated together by reference. All such methodologies are intended to be used in connection with the preparation of the conjugates described herein.
[0280] The loading of compounds of formulas (Ia) and (Ib) onto polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) as described herein is represented by "m" in formulas (IVa), (IVb), (Va), and / or (Vb), and is the average number of "Xn-L-" or "Xn-" units per conjugate molecule. As used herein, the term "DAR" refers to the average value of "m" or the loading of the conjugate. The number of "X" parts (e.g., M6P parts) per unit of "Xn-L-" or "Xn-" is represented by "n" in formulas (IVa), (IVb), (Va), and / or (Vb). As used herein, the term "valence(s)" refers to the number of "X" parts ("n") per unit. It should be understood that loading, or DAR, is not necessarily equivalent to the number of "X" parts per conjugate molecule. For example, if there is one "X" part per unit (n=1, valence "1") and one "Xn-L-" unit per conjugate (m=1), then there are 1 × 1 = 1 "X" part per conjugate. However, if there are two "X" parts per unit (n=2, valence "2") and four "Xn-L-" units per conjugate (m=4), then there are 2 × 4 = 8 "X" parts per conjugate. Therefore, for the conjugates described herein, the total number of "X" parts per conjugate molecule is n × m. As used herein, the term "total valence(s)" refers to the total number of "X" parts per conjugate molecule (n x m; total valence).
[0281] The DAR (load) is in the range of 1 to 80 units per conjugate. The conjugates provided herein may include aggregates of conjugated polypeptides, antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments with a unit range, e.g., 1 to 80. The average number of units per polypeptide or antibody in the preparation of conjugates from a conjugation reaction can be characterized by conventional means such as mass spectrometry. The quantitative distribution of DAR (load) with respect to m can also be determined. In some cases, the separation, purification, and characterization of homogeneous conjugates where m is a specific value can be achieved by means such as electrophoresis.
[0282] In certain embodiments, the DAR of the conjugate provided herein is in the range of 1 to 80. In certain embodiments, the DAR of the conjugate provided herein is in the range of 1 to 70. In certain embodiments, the DAR of the conjugate provided herein is in the range of 1 to 60. In certain embodiments, the DAR of the conjugate provided herein is in the range of 1 to 50.

[0362] definition The terms “protein” and “polypeptide” are used interchangeably. Proteins may contain non-amino acid portions (which may be glycoproteins, for example) and / or may be otherwise processed or modified. Those skilled in the art will understand that a “protein” may be a complete protein chain (with or without a signal sequence) or a portion thereof, as produced by a cell. Those skilled in the art will understand that a protein may contain more than one protein chain, linked, for example, non-covalently or covalently, by one or more disulfide bonds or by other means. Polypeptides may contain L-amino acids, D-amino acids, or both, and may contain any of the various amino acid modifications or analogs known in the art. Useful modifications include, for example, terminal acetylation, amidation, methylation, etc. In some embodiments, a protein may contain native amino acids, non-native amino acids, synthetic amino acids, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, a protein may be an antibody, an antibody fragment, a biologically active portion thereof, and / or a characteristic portion thereof.
[0363] The terms “antibody” and “immunoglobulin” are terms of the art and may be used interchangeably herein to refer to molecules having an antigen-binding site that specifically binds to an antigen.
[0364] In certain embodiments, an isolated antibody (e.g., a monoclonal antibody) or an antigen-binding fragment of a protein of interest, such as EGFR, which specifically binds to EGFR, is conjugated, for example, to one or more lysosomal targeting moieties via a linker.
[0365] An "antigen" is a portion or molecule containing an epitope to which an antibody can specifically bind. Therefore, an antigen is also specifically bound by an antibody. In certain embodiments, the antigen to which the antibody described herein binds is a protein of interest, for example, EGFR (e.g., human EGFR), or a fragment thereof, or for example, the extracellular domain of EGFR (e.g., human EGFR).
[0366] "Epitope" is a term known in the art and refers to a localized region of an antigen to which an antibody can specifically bind. An epitope may be a linear epitope of adjacent amino acids, or it may consist of amino acids from two or more non-adjacent regions of the antigen.
[0367] In the context of antibody binding, the terms “binds,” “binds to,” “specifically binds,” or “specifically binds to” refer to antibodies that bind to an antigen (e.g., an epitope) in such a way that such binding is understood by those skilled in the art. For example, a molecule that specifically binds to an antigen may bind to other polypeptides with a lower affinity, generally determined by, for example, immunoassays, Biacore®, KinExA 3000 instrument (Sapidyne Instruments, Boise, ID) or other assays known in the art. In a particular embodiment, a molecule that specifically binds to an antigen may bind to another antigen, such as K d Affinity (K) is lower than at least 2-log, 2.5-log, 3-log, and 4-log than the affinity (K) of the two-log, 2.5-log, 3-log, and 4-log scales. d It binds to an antigen having (higher affinity). In another specific embodiment, the molecule that specifically binds to the antigen does not cross-react with other proteins. In another specific embodiment, where EGFR is the protein of interest, the molecule that specifically binds to the antigen does not cross-react with other non-EGFR proteins.
[0368] Antibodies may include, for example, monoclonal antibodies, recombinant antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (including bispecific antibodies), human antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, synthetic antibodies, tetrameric antibodies containing two heavy chains and two light chain molecules, antibody light chain monomers, antibody heavy chain monomers, antibody light chain dimers, antibody heavy chain dimers, antibody light chain / antibody heavy chain pairs, antibodies having two light chain / heavy chain pairs (e.g., identical pairs), intrabodies, heteroconjugate antibodies, single-domain antibodies, monovalent antibodies, bivalent antibodies (including monospecific or bispecific bivalent antibodies), single-chain antibodies, or single-chain Fv(scFv), camelized antibodies, aphibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab') fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, disulfide-linked Fv(sdFv), anti-idiotype (anti-Id) antibodies (e.g., anti-anti-Id antibodies), and any of the above epitope-linked fragments.
[0369] The antibody may be any type of immunoglobulin molecule (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA, or IgY), any class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, or IgA2), or any subclass (e.g., IgG2a or IgG2b). In certain embodiments, the antibody described herein is an IgG antibody (e.g., human IgG), or a class (e.g., human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4), or a subclass thereof.
[0370] In certain embodiments, the antibody is a four-chain antibody unit comprising two heavy (H) chain / light (L) chain pairs, where the amino acid sequences of the H chains are identical and the amino acid sequences of the L chains are identical. In certain embodiments, the H and L chains include a constant region, e.g., a human constant region. In even more specific embodiments, the L chain constant region of such an antibody is a kappa or lambda light chain constant region, e.g., a human kappa or lambda light chain constant region. In yet another specific embodiment, the H chain constant region of such an antibody includes a gamma heavy chain constant region, e.g., a human gamma heavy chain constant region. In certain embodiments, such an antibody includes an IgG constant region, e.g., a human IgG constant region.
[0371] The terms “constant region” or “constant domain” are well-known antibody terms in the relevant art (sometimes referred to as “Fc”) and refer to the light and / or heavy chain carboxyl-terminal portions of the antibody moiety, for example, those that do not directly participate in the binding of the antibody to an antigen but can exhibit various effector functions, such as interaction with Fc receptors. These terms refer to parts of immunoglobulin molecules that generally have more conserved amino acid sequences compared to immunoglobulin variable domains.
[0372] When used in reference to antibodies, the term "heavy chain" can refer to any different types that give rise to the IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM classes of antibodies, such as alpha (α), delta (δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), and mu (μ), including the IgG subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, respectively, based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain.
[0373] When used in relation to antibodies, the term "light chain" can refer to any different type, for example, a lambda (λ) kappa (κ) light chain based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain. Light chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. In certain embodiments, the light chain is a human light chain.
[0374] The term “monoclonal antibody” is a well-known technical term referring to an antibody obtained from a homogeneous or substantially homogeneous population of antibodies. The term “monoclonal” is not limited to any particular method for producing the antibody. Generally, a population of monoclonal antibodies can be produced by a cell, a population of cells, or a cell line. In certain embodiments, “monoclonal antibody” as used herein is an antibody produced by a single cell (e.g., a hybridoma or a host cell producing recombinant antibodies) and the antibody binds specifically to an epitope as determined, for example, by ELISA or other antigen-binding or competitive binding assays known in the art or in the examples provided herein. In certain embodiments, the monoclonal antibody may be a chimeric antibody or a humanized antibody. In certain embodiments, the monoclonal antibody may be a monovalent or polyvalent (e.g., bivalent) antibody. In certain embodiments, the monoclonal antibody may be a monospecific or multispecific (e.g., bispecific) antibody.
[0375] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to a portion of an antibody, generally a portion of the light or heavy chain, typically the approximately 110–120 amino acids from the amino terminus to the mature heavy chain and approximately 90–100 amino acids from the mature light chain. The variable region includes a complementarity-determining region (CDR) adjacent to the framework region (FR). Generally, the spatial positioning of the CDR and FR in the N-terminus to C-terminus direction is as follows: FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4. While we do not wish to be bound by any particular mechanism or theory, the CDRs of the light and heavy chains are thought to be primarily involved in antibody-antigen interaction and antibody specificity to epitopes. In certain embodiments, the numbering of amino acid positions of the antibodies described herein follows the EU index, as in Kabat et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, USD Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242. In certain embodiments, the variable region is the human variable region.
[0376] In certain embodiments, the CDRs of antibodies may be (i) numbered using the Kabat numbering system (Kabat et al. (1971) Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 190:382-391 and Kabat et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, USD Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242), or (ii) numbered using the Chothia numbering scheme, referred to herein as "Chothia CDRs" (e.g., Chothia and Lesk, 1987, J. Mol. Biol., 196:901-917, Al-Lazikani et al., 1997, J. Mol. Biol., 273:927-948, Chothia et al., 1992, J. Mol. Biol., 227:799-817, Tramontano et al.) al., 1990, J.Mol.Biol.215(1):175-82, U.S. Patent No. 7,709,226, and Martin, A., "Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody See Variable Domains, in Antibody Engineering, Kontermann and Dubel, eds., Chapter 31, pp. 422-439, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (2001), or (iii) the ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) numbering system, as described, for example, in Lefranc, 1999, The Immunologist, 7:132-136 and Lefranc et al., 1999, Nucleic Acids Res., 27:209-212 ("IMGT CDRs"), or (iv) the AbM numbering system, as referred to herein as "AbM CDR", as described, for example, in MacCallum et al., 1996, J.Mol.Biol., 262: 732-745. See also, for example, Martin, A., “Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains,” in Antibody Engineering, Kontermann and Dubel, eds., Chapter 31, pp. 422-439, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (2001), or (v) the contact numbering system referred to herein as “contact CDR” (the contact definition is based on the analysis of available complex crystal structures (bioinf.org.uk / abs)) (see, for example, MacCallum et al., 1996, J.Mol.Biol., 262:732-745).
[0377] The terms “full-length antibody,” “intact antibody,” and “whole antibody” are used interchangeably herein to refer to an antibody in substantially intact form and not to an antibody fragment as defined below. These terms, in particular, refer to an antibody having a heavy chain containing an Fc region.
[0378] An "antibody fragment" comprises only a portion of an intact antibody, the portion retaining at least one, two, three, and almost all of the functions normally associated with that portion when present in an intact antibody. In one embodiment, the antibody fragment contains the antigen-binding site of an intact antibody and therefore retains the ability to bind to an antigen. In another embodiment, an antibody fragment, such as an antibody fragment containing an Fc region, retains at least one of the biological functions normally associated with the Fc region when present in an intact antibody. Such functions may include FcRn binding, antibody half-life regulation, conjugate function, and complement binding. In yet another embodiment, the antibody fragment is a monovalent antibody having substantially the same in vivo half-life as an intact antibody. For example, such an antibody fragment may contain an antigen-binding arm linked to an Fc sequence that can give the fragment in vivo stability.
[0379] "Alkyl" means a linear or branched saturated hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and in certain embodiments, containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms. In certain embodiments, alkyl is a group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms ("C 1-4 Alkyl) contains 1 to 3 carbon atoms ("C"). In certain embodiments, alkyl contains 1 to 3 carbon atoms ("C"). 1-3 The alkyl group includes methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, 3-methylhexyl, 2,2-dimethylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylhexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-nonyl, or n-decyl.
[0380] "Alkyl" refers to a linear or branched saturated divalent hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms. In certain embodiments, alkylene is a group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms ("C 1-6 Contains alkylene.
[0381] "Halo" refers to a fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodine group.
[0382] "CN" stands for cyano group.
[0383] Unless otherwise specified, if a compound can take on alternative tautomers, positional isomers, and / or stereoisomers, all alternative isomers are intended to be included within the scope of the claimed subject matter. For example, if a compound is described as having a particular optical isomer D- or L-, both optical isomers are intended to be included herein. For example, if a compound is described as having one of two tautomer forms, both tautomers are intended to be included herein. Thus, the compounds provided herein may be enantiomerically pure or may be stereoisomers or mixtures of diastereomers. The compounds provided herein may contain a chiral center. Such a chiral center may be in either an (R) or (S) configuration, or a mixture thereof. The chiral centers of the compounds provided herein may undergo epimerization in vivo. Thus, those skilled in the art will recognize that a dose of the compound in its (R) form is equivalent to a dose of the compound in its (S) form with respect to a compound that undergoes epimerization in vivo.
[0384] This disclosure also encompasses all suitable isotopic variants of the compounds according to this disclosure, whether radioactive or not. An isotopic variant of a compound according to this disclosure is understood to mean a compound in which at least one atom in the compound according to this disclosure is replaced with another atom having the same atomic number but a different atomic mass than that normally or predominantly found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds according to this disclosure are hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, for example, 2 H (deuterium), 3 H (tritium), 13 C, 14 C, 15 N, 17 O, 18 O, 18 F, 36 Cl, 82 Br, 123 I,124 I, 125 I, 129 I, and 131 It is an isotope of I. Certain isotopic variants of the compounds according to this disclosure, in particular isotopic variants incorporating one or more radioactive isotopes, may be useful, for example, for testing the mechanism of action or the distribution of active compounds in the body. 3 H, 14 C, and / or 18 Compounds labeled with 1F isotopes are suitable for this purpose. In addition, the incorporation of deuterium isotopes, for example, can result in certain therapeutic benefits as a result of greater metabolic stability of the compound, such as an extended half-life in the body or a reduction in the required active dose. In some embodiments, hydrogen atoms in the compounds described herein can be replaced with deuterium atoms. In certain embodiments, “deuterated” as applied to a chemical group refers to a chemical group in which a substantially greater amount of deuterium than its natural abundance is isotope-enriched, unless otherwise indicated. Isotope variants of the compounds according to this disclosure can be prepared in various ways, for example, by using certain reagents and / or corresponding isotope modifications of the starting compounds in the methods and examples described below.
[0385] Therefore, any of the embodiments described herein means that include salts, single stereoisomers, mixtures of stereoisomers, and / or isotopic forms of the compound.
[0386] Unless otherwise specified, the terms “about” or “approximately” mean an acceptable error of a particular value as determined by those skilled in the art, which depends in part on how that value is measured or determined. In certain embodiments, the terms “about” or “approximately” mean a standard deviation of 1, 2, or 3.
