Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicine. Specifically, the present invention provides an antibody-conjugated drug of an N-oxacycloalkyl-substituted camptothecin derivative, its preparation method and its application in the antitumor field. [Background technology]
[0002] Camptothecin (CPT) is a pentacyclic alkaloid isolated from the bark and trunk of the Chinese tree Camptotheca acuminata (Camptotheca / Happy tree). Camptothecin inhibits topoisomerase I, which causes cell death. Due to camptothecin's cytotoxic mechanism and broad-spectrum antitumor activity, considerable effort has been devoted to developing clinical analogs of camptothecin.
[0003] Currently, researchers are conducting extensive research into the use of monoclonal antibodies for targeted delivery of small molecule drugs to tumor cells. Many different drug categories have been evaluated for antibody-mediated delivery, but only a limited number of drug categories have demonstrated sufficient activity and an appropriate toxicity profile as antibody-drug conjugates to support clinical development. One such category that has attracted attention is camptothecin.
[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a potent class of drugs effective against abnormal cell proliferation and proliferative diseases (e.g., cancer). Antibody-drug conjugates typically consist of three distinct components: an antibody, a linker, and a cytotoxic moiety (a small molecule drug). ADCs are typically designed by linking a small molecule drug to an antibody via a linker, and the flexibility of the small molecule drug design and the combination of the linker and antigen is crucial. Currently, there is no existing technology for oxacycloalkyl-modified camptothecin and its derivative ADC drugs. Therefore, research into this field of drug technology is of great value for the development of camptothecin and its derivative ADCs. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0071] 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.
[0072] 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.
[0073] 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.
[0074] 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.
[0075] 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.
[0076] 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.
[0077] [ka] indicates the point of attachment of a chemical bond. 11 -L 12 -L 12 -or-L 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.
[0078] 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), and (I-3), 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 have one or more drugs linked to it.
[0079] 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.
[0080] 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.
[0081] 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.
[0082] The term "patient" refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, and more preferably a human.
[0083] 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.
[0084] 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.
[0085] The term "antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)" refers to a monoclonal antibody to which a biologically active small molecule drug is linked via a chemical bond, and the monoclonal antibody functions as a carrier for delivering the small molecule drug to target cells. In this specification, the meaning of "antibody-conjugated drug" is the same as that of antibody-drug conjugate.
[0086] The term "drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR)" refers to the average number of active ingredient molecules (anti-tumor compound or drug) bound to a single monoclonal antibody.
[0087] Abbreviation: Fmoc: 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl group The amino acid constituting the peptide residue LP is Val: valine, and its structural formula is [ka] and Ala: Alanine, its structural formula is [ka] and Gly: Glycine, whose structural formula is [ka] and Phe: Phenylalanine, its structural formula is [ka] and L P can be obtained by amino acid condensation methods known in the art.

[0172] 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 1). 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 <5nM, and "++++" indicates IC 50 indicates that the IC is between 10 and 50 nM, and "++" indicates that the IC 50 indicates that the IC is between 50 and 500 nM, and "+" indicates that the IC 50 Indicates >500nM.
[0173] 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, 3, 4, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 20, had IC values of inhibitory activity against these cancer cells. 50 The IC values were even lower than 50 nM, and some ADC compounds, such as ADC4, 10, 18, and 20, had IC values of inhibitory activity against these cancer cells. 50 The value is even less than 10 nM.
[0174] 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 and NCI-H1975 were cultured in vitro as monolayers. When the cell density reached 80-90%, they were digested with trypsin-EDTA, centrifuged, and the supernatant discarded. The cells were resuspended in PBS and adjusted to the appropriate concentration. NCI-H292 and NCI-H1975 cells (2-10 × 10) were cultured in vitro. 6 BALB / c nude mice were subcutaneously inoculated with 0.1 mL of cells. The animals and the growth of the transplanted tumor were monitored periodically. The tumor volume was measured to be between 100 and 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 administered on Day 1, and the second on Day 5). See Table 2 for experimental grouping and administration settings. 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.
