Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the medical field. Specifically, the present invention provides an antibody-conjugated drug of an N-fluoroalkyl-substituted camptothecin derivative, its preparation method and its application in the antitumor field. [Background technology]
[0002] Camptothecin and its derivatives are broad-spectrum antitumor drugs, and many camptothecin derivatives have been approved for use in the treatment of various types of cancer in many countries.
[0003] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that are chemically linked to biologically active small molecule drugs, which then serve as carriers for delivering the small molecule drugs to target cells. In recent years, several camptothecin derivatives have been used as small molecule drugs in antibody-drug conjugates, demonstrating significant antitumor effects. For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 201380053256.2 discloses an antibody-drug conjugate using exatecan as its small molecule drug payload, which has demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. However, the number of commercially available ADC drugs is limited, and further research is needed to determine the structure and appropriate linker structure of camptothecin derivatives used as ADC payloads. Therefore, there is a need to develop antibody-drug conjugates with antitumor activity. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0083] I. Definition: In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings that are commonly understood by those skilled in the art.In addition, the relevant terms and experimental procedures used herein are terms and routine steps that are widely used in the corresponding fields.In addition, in order to better understand the present invention, the definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.
[0084] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprise," "include," "have," and "contain," including their grammatical equivalents, are generally to be understood as open-ended and non-limiting, e.g., not excluding other unrecited elements or steps.
[0085] The compounds of the present disclosure may be asymmetric, e.g., may have one or more stereoisomers. Unless otherwise specified, all stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are included. The stereoisomers include geometric isomers (e.g., cis- and trans-configurations) and optical isomers (e.g., enantiomers), and are therapeutic agents consisting of individual compounds, racemates, racemic mixtures, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Compounds of the present disclosure containing asymmetric carbon atoms can be isolated in optically pure or racemic form. Optically pure forms can be separated from racemic mixtures or synthesized using chiral starting materials or chiral reagents. Racemates, diastereomers, and enantiomers are all within the scope of the present invention.
[0086] Numerical ranges herein refer to individual integers within the specified range, for example, "C1-C6" means that the group can have 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms, or 6 carbon atoms. When any variable (e.g., Rn) occurs more than one time in any composition or structure of a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 1 to 5 R, then that group is optionally substituted with up to 5 R, and each occurrence of R is an independent option. Further, combinations of substituents and / or variants thereof are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0087] The term "C1-C6 alkyl group" refers to a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Specific examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, 1-ethylpropyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, n-hexyl, 1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl, 1,1,2-trimethylpropyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 2-methylpentyl, 3-methylpentyl, 4-methylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylbutyl, and various branched-chain isomers thereof.
[0088] The term "alkoxy group" refers to -O-(alkyl group) and -O-(unsubstituted cycloalkyl group), where alkyl group is defined above. Non-limiting examples of alkoxy groups include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, cyclopropoxy, cyclobutoxy, cyclopentyloxy, and cyclohexyloxy groups. An alkoxy group can be optionally substituted or unsubstituted, and if substituted, the substituents are preferably one or more groups independently selected from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino, halogen, sulfhydryl, hydrogen, nitro, chloro, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkoxy, heterocycloalkoxy, cycloalkylthio, heterocycloalkylthio, carboxylic acid, or carboxylic acid ester groups.
[0089] The term "acyl group" refers to -C(=O)R, where R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl group.
[0090] The term "sulfonyl" refers to -S(=O)R, where R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl group.
[0091] [ka] indicates the point of attachment of a chemical bond. z -L j -) represents a linking of the corresponding groups in left to right order unless otherwise specified. For example, -L 12 is C1-C2 alkylene-O-, this means that the left side of C1-C2 alkylene-O- is -L 11 -L on the right 13 - indicates that it will be linked to.
[0092] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, in the antibody-drug conjugates of the present application, for example, in formulae (I), (I-1), (I-2), (I-3), (I-4), (I-5), and (I-6), the "-" between the drug-linker fragment and the antibody is intended to represent the linkage between the antibody and the fragment, and is not intended to limit the linkage of one antibody to only one drug-linker fragment. As is well known in the art, one antibody can have multiple intermolecular disulfide bonds, and therefore one antibody can be linked to one or more drugs.
[0093] Drug or pharmaceutical composition The drugs or pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered orally, topically, parenterally, or mucosally (e.g., sublingually, by inhalation, or rectally) in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Oral administration is generally preferred. The active agent can be administered orally in the form of capsules, tablets, or the like.
[0094] The term "treatment" includes inhibiting, alleviating, preventing or eliminating one or more symptoms or side effects associated with the disease, condition or disorder being treated.
[0095] The use of the term "inhibition" refers to a control. Those skilled in the art can easily determine the appropriate control for each experiment. For example, the reduction in the response in subjects or cells treated with a compound is compared with the response in subjects or cells not treated with a compound.
[0096] The term "patient" refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, and more preferably a human.
[0097] The term "pharmaceutical composition" means a composition comprising the compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient selected from the group consisting of, but not limited to, carriers, diluents, adjuvants, excipients, preservatives, fillers, disintegrants, wetting agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, fragrances, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricants, dispersing agents, temperature-sensitive materials, temperature regulators, adhesives, stabilizers, and suspension aids, depending on the nature of the administration method and dosage form.
[0098] The term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to a nontoxic but sufficient amount of a drug or agent to achieve a desired effect. In embodiments of the present invention, when treating a patient according to the present invention, the amount of a given drug to be administered will depend on many factors, such as the specific administration protocol, the type and severity of the disease or condition, and the specific characteristics (e.g., body weight) of the subject or host requiring treatment. However, dosages can be routinely determined by methods known in the art depending on the specific circumstances, including, for example, the specific drug employed, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the subject or host being treated. Generally, dosages used in adult treatment typically range from 0.02 to 5000 mg / day, e.g., about 1 to 1500 mg / day. This required dose can conveniently be expressed as a single dose or as divided doses administered simultaneously (or shortly thereafter) or at appropriate intervals, e.g., two, three, four, or more divided doses per day. Although the above dosage ranges are given, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the specific effective amount may be appropriately adjusted depending on the condition of the patient and in conjunction with the diagnosis of a physician.

[0217] Test Example 1: In vitro tumor cell proliferation inhibitory activity of ADC Test method for in vitro inhibitory activity of ADC: Human esophageal cancer cells OE-33, human lung cancer cells NCI-H1975, and human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 used for activity detection were cultured in RPMI1640 (Cellmax), RPMI1640 (Cellmax), and DMEM (Cellmax) media containing 10% fetal bovine serum until exponential growth phase. After trypsin digestion, the supernatant was discarded by centrifugation, and 3 × 10 cells were cultured in the media. 4 cells / mL, 0.5×10 4 cells / mL, 1.5×10 4The ADCs were diluted to 1000 nM, 400 nM, 80 nM, 16 nM, 3.2 nM, 0.64 nM, 0.128 nM, and 0.026 nM in medium. 100 μL of the diluted ADCs were added to each well of a 96-well cell culture plate. Each well was replicated for each concentration. For negative and blank controls, 100 μL of culture medium was added per well. After incubation, the plates were placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 6 days. After incubation, the cell culture plate was removed, the medium in the plate was aspirated and removed with a pipette, and then 100 μL of medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added per well and incubated at 37°C for 3 hours. After incubation, the culture plate was removed, shielded from light, and placed on an enzyme plate. The absorbance was measured using a reference wavelength of 630 nm and a measurement wavelength of 450 nm. IC 50 was calculated from the absorbance values using a four-parameter regression in GraphPad (Table 2). The ADC drug corresponding to Dxd was used as a positive control drug and has the following structure: [ka] (where Ab is IP140B antibody.) [Table 1] I C 50 For values, "++++" is IC 50 <50 nM, and "++++" indicates IC 50 indicates that the IC is between 10 and 100 nM, and "++" indicates that the IC 50 indicates that the IC is between 100 and 250 nM, and "+" indicates that the IC 50 Indicates that the value is >250nM.
[0218] The ADC compounds in the examples of the present invention have excellent inhibitory activity against NCI-H1975, MDA-MB-231, and OE-33 cells, and the IC50 All of the values were below 250 nM, and some ADC compounds, such as ADC2, 14, 16, and 18, had IC values of inhibitory activity against these cancer cells. 50 The value is even less than 50 nM.
[0219] Test Example 2: In vivo tumor growth inhibitory activity of ADC Test method for in vitro inhibitory activity of ADC: Human lung cancer cells NCI-H292, human non-small cell lung cancer cells Calu-6, human lung cancer cells NCI-H1975, human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells KYSE-150, human ovarian cancer cells ES-2, and human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 were cultured in vitro as monolayers. When the cell density reached 80-90%, the cells were digested with trypsin-EDTA, centrifuged, and the supernatant discarded. The cells were resuspended in PBS and adjusted to the appropriate cell concentration. NCI-H292, Calu-6, NCI-H1975, KYSE-150, and MDA-MB-231 cells (2-10 × 10) were cultured in vitro as monolayers. 6 BALB / c nude mice were subcutaneously inoculated with ES-2 cells (0.1 mL / cells), and NOD-SCID mice were subcutaneously inoculated with ES-2 cells. The animals and tumor growth were monitored regularly until the tumor volume reached 100–200 mm. 3 Once the tumors reached a certain size, they were randomly divided into two groups based on tumor volume and body weight: a vehicle control group (physiological saline) and an ADC-treated group (dissolved in physiological saline), with six animals in each group. The tumors were administered intravenously. The administration frequency was Q4D, with a total of two doses (the first dose was on Day 1, and the second on Day 5). The tumor's major axis (a) and minor axis (b) were measured twice weekly using calipers, along with the mouse's body weight. Tumor volume (V) was calculated using the following formula: V = 1 / 2 × a × b. 2 (mm 3), where a and b represent the length and width of the tumor, respectively. A growth curve was then created, and the tumors were finally excised and weighed. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism software using the tumor volume and weight data of the tumor-bearing mice at the end of the experiment to obtain the results of the antitumor effect. In the figure, "" in the control group indicates that there was no result for that group or that the tumor status was not measured. In the experimental group, "no tumor" in the corresponding group, "tumor shrinkage to 0," and "tumor disappearance to 0" indicate that no tumor was found in the corresponding dissected animal.
