[Technical Field]
[0001] Cross-reference of related applications This application claims the interests of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 439,806, filed on 18 January 2023 under 35 U.S. Code § 119(e), the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]
[0002] 1. Background Many therapeutic agents work by binding to functionally important sites on target proteins and modulating their activity, or by recruiting immune effectors to act on target proteins, as is the case with many monoclonal antibody drugs. However, there is an undeveloped repository of medically important human proteins, and these proteins are considered "undrug-unavailable" because they cannot be easily targeted by currently available therapeutic targeting approaches. Therefore, there is a need for therapies that can target a wider range of proteins.
[0003] Mannose-6-phosphate is a monosaccharide ligand that plays a crucial role in the intracellular retention and secretion of lysosomal hydrolytic enzymes to which it binds. When this sugar residue is incorporated into newly synthesized enzymes, it can induce the transport of those enzymes from the Golgi apparatus to lysosomes, where they are activated. Membrane-bound cell surface mannose-6-phosphate receptors (M6PRs) play a role in many biological processes, including the secretion and internal translocation of such lysosomal enzymes. Endocytosis by M6PRs enables the internal translocation of compounds containing mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) ligands into cells and their transport to lysosomes.
[0004] Alternative ligands that provide transport across the cell membrane following binding to cell surface M6PR are of great interest. [Overview of the project] [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] 2. Overview This disclosure provides a class of compounds comprising a ligand moiety that specifically binds to the cell surface mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR). Cell surface M6PR-binding compounds can trigger the receptor, allowing the binding compound to be internally transported into the cell. The ligand moieties of this disclosure can be conjugated to various target moieties without affecting their specific binding to and function of cell surface M6PR. Compounds that are conjugates of the ligand moiety conjugated to biomolecules such as antibodies are also provided, which 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 compositions comprising such conjugates, methods for targeting target polypeptides for sequesteration and / or lysosomal degradation using the conjugates, and methods for treating disorders or diseases using the conjugates.

[0007] 4. Detailed explanation As summarized above, this disclosure provides a class of compounds comprising a specific ligand moiety X (also called an M6PR-binding moiety or M6PR ligand moiety) that specifically binds to the cell surface mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR). The M6PR-binding moieties of this disclosure can be ligated to various desired moieties without affecting their specific binding to and function of cell surface M6PR. The inventors have demonstrated that the compounds of this disclosure can utilize the function of cell surface M6PR in biological systems, for example, internal translocation and / or sequestration into cellular lysosomes, and possibly lysosomal degradation of subsequent target molecules. The compounds of this disclosure can be used in a variety of applications. In some embodiments, the M6PR-binding moiety X provides intracellular delivery of the desired moiety. In some embodiments, the compound is a bifunctional compound comprising an M6PR-binding moiety X ligated to a target binding moiety for internal translocation and / or lysosomal degradation of the bound target molecule.
[0008] Therefore, this disclosure relates to compounds of formula (XI) comprising one or more M6PR-bonded moieties linked to the target moiety Y. [ka] or provide a salt thereof, in the formula, X is an M6PR-bonding portion (for example, as described herein), n is between 1 and 500 (for example, X is linked by monovalent or polyvalent linkers as described herein), m is between 1 and 500 (for example, 1 to 100, or 1 to 10), L is a linker, Y is the part of interest (for example, as described herein).
[0009] The compounds and conjugates of this disclosure, as well as the methods, are described in more detail below. A specific class of M6PR-binding compounds is described. In some embodiments, the compound is a biomolecular conjugate comprising one or more linked M6PR-binding moieties. The linker (L) and the target moiety (Y) used in the M6PR-binding compounds and biomolecular conjugates are also described. Methods in which the compounds and conjugates of this disclosure are used are also described.
[0010] 4.1.M6PR joint part As summarized above, the M6PR binding moieties (also called M6PR ligand moieties) of this disclosure can be linked to a variety of target moieties without affecting their specific binding to cell surface M6PR and its function. We have demonstrated that M6PR binding moieties having the specific structures described below provide high-affinity binding to cell surface M6PR, and when configured with a linker according to the bifunctional compounds of this disclosure, they can be utilized for the function of cell surface M6PR in biological systems, such as internalization and / or degradation of target molecules.
[0011] The terms "mannose-6-phosphate receptor" and "M6PR" refer to receptors of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor family. M6PR is an enzyme-targeting transmembrane glycoprotein receptor for intracellular lysosomes. M6PR endogenously transports proteins containing N-glycans capped with mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) residues to lysosomes, where they circulate between endosomes, the cell surface, and the Golgi complex. See, for example, Ghosh et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2003;4:202-213. The M6PR family includes the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-M6PR). CI-M6PR is also known as the insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) and in humans, it is encoded by the IGF2R gene (see, for example, NCBI reference sequence: NM_000876.3 and NCBI gene ID: 3482). CI-M6PR is bound to insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) and mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) tagged proteins. The compounds of this disclosure can specifically bind to cell surface M6PR, for example, to internally distributed CI-M6PR cell surface receptors. In certain embodiments, the surface CI-M6PR is human CI-M6PR. The terms M6PR and CI-M6PR are understood to be used interchangeably when referring to the M6PR binding moieties and binding properties of the compounds of this disclosure.
[0012] Compounds containing such an M6PR binding moiety (X) (e.g., as described herein) may also bind to other receptors, and may bind with lower affinity, for example, as determined by immunoassays or other assays known in the art. In certain embodiments, X, or a compound described herein containing such X, specifically binds to cell surface CI-M6PR with an affinity of at least 2-log, 2.5-log, 3-log, or 4-log than the affinity with which X or the compound binds to another cell surface receptor. In certain embodiments, X, or a compound described herein containing X, has an affinity of 20 mM or less (K d) binds specifically to CI-M6PR. In certain embodiments, such binding has an affinity (K d ) of 10 mM or less, 1 mM or less, 100 uM or less, 10 uM or less, 1 uM or less, 100 nM or less, 10 nM or less, or 1 nM or less. The terms "bind", "bind to", "bind specifically to", or "bind specifically to" are used interchangeably.
[0013] The M6PR binding compounds of the present disclosure include a moiety (X) (e.g., as described herein) that is a D-mannopyranose analog that binds specifically to the cell surface receptor M6PR. The M6PR binding compounds can be monovalent or multivalent (e.g., divalent or trivalent or higher valency), a monovalent compound includes a single M6PR ligand moiety, and a multivalent compound includes two or more such moieties.
[0014] 4.1.1. Alpha-linked pyranose ring The M6PR binding moiety of the compounds of the present disclosure can include a linked pyranose ring represented by formula (II),
Chemical formula
[0015] In some embodiments of formula (II), Z 2 is a linking moiety linked in an alpha configuration to the pyranose sugar ring at the anomeric position or the 1-position, as shown in formula (IIa) below. [ka]
[0016] 4.1.2. Beta-linked pyranose ring The inventors have demonstrated that while M6PR-binding compounds having an M6PR-binding moiety with the anomeric alpha configuration of formula (IIa) can provide good binding and internalization activity at the receptor, in some cases, it is possible to confer stronger binding and internalization activity at M6PR by constituting a pyranose sugar ring at the center of the M6PR-binding moiety having a beta configuration at the anomeric position. In some embodiments, such an M6PR-binding moiety can enhance the stability of the pyranose ring.
[0017] Therefore, in some embodiments of equation (II), Z 2 This is a linkage portion that is linked to the sugar ring in a beta configuration at the anomeric or 1-position, as shown in formula (IIb) below. [ka]
[0018] 4.2.M6PR binding compounds The portion of formula (II) can exhibit binding activity to M6PR, but the inventors believe that certain types of cyclic groups can bind to the linked portion Z. 2 We demonstrated that when linked adjacent to the pyranose ring of formula (II) in a specific configuration, an M6PR binding moiety with the desired binding activity can be generated.
[0019] Therefore, in some embodiments of formula (II), the M6PR coupling portion (X) is the one shown in formula (III), [ka] or its prodrug or salt thereof, in the formula, W is a hydrophilic head group, Z 1This is selected from optionally substituted (C1-C3) alkylenes and optionally substituted ethenylenes. Z 2 O, S, NR 21 and C(R 22 ) Selected from 2, in the formula, each R 21 Each R is independently selected from H and optionally substituted (C1-C6) alkyl groups. 22 These are independently selected from H, halogens (e.g., F), and optionally substituted (C1-C6) alkyl groups. A is an independently and arbitrarily substituted cyclic group, Z 3 It is an independent connecting part.
[0020] In some embodiments of formulas (II) to (III), W is a non-hydrolyzable hydrophilic head group.

[0022] In some embodiments of equations (II) to (III), Z 2 is O. In some embodiments of equations (II) to (III), Z 2 is S. In some embodiments of equations (II) to (III), Z 2 -NR 21 - is the case. In some embodiments of equations (II) to (III), Z 2 -C(R 22 )2-, and in the formula, each R 22 is independently selected from H, halogens (e.g., F), and optionally substituted (C1-C6) alkyl groups. In some embodiments of formulas (II)-(III), Z 2 It is -CH2-.
[0023] In some embodiments of formulas (II) to (III), A is an optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, optionally substituted heterocyclic, or optionally substituted cycloalkyl. In some embodiments of formulas (II) to (III), A is independently an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl linking moiety (e.g., an optionally substituted monocyclic or bicyclic aryl or heteroaryl).
[0024] Exemplary Z of equations (II) to (III) 3 The connecting parts are described herein.
[0025] Such an M6PR binding moiety of formula (III) can be bound to a target moiety or molecule to generate a bifunctional compound that undergoes effective M6PR-mediated intracellular translocation. The inventors have further demonstrated that, when the target moiety or molecule is a target protein binding moiety, the M6PR-binding compound also enables M6PR-mediated intracellular translocation and / or degradation of the bound target protein.
[0026] Therefore, in some embodiments of formula (XI), the M6PR-bound compound is the one of formula (XII), [ka] or its prodrug, or its salt, During the ceremony, W is a hydrophilic head group, Z 1 This is selected from optionally substituted (C1-C3) alkylenes and optionally substituted ethenylenes. Z 2 O, S, NR 21 and C(R 22 ) Selected from 2, in the formula, each R 21 Each R is independently selected from H and optionally substituted (C1-C6) alkyl groups. 22 These are independently selected from H, halogens (e.g., F), and optionally substituted (C1-C6) alkyl groups. A is an independently and arbitrarily substituted cyclic group, Z 3 It is an independent connecting part, n is between 1 and 500. L is a linker, Y is the target part, m is between 1 and 100.
[0027] In some embodiments of formulas (XI) to (XII), m is 1, and the cell surface M6PR binding compound is that of formula (XIII). [ka] or its prodrug, or its salt, During the ceremony, W is a hydrophilic head group, Z 1 This is selected from optionally substituted (C1-C3) alkylenes and optionally substituted ethenylenes. Z 2 O, S, NR 21 and C(R 22 ) Selected from 2, in the formula, each R 21 Each R is independently selected from H and optionally substituted (C1-C6) alkyl groups. 22 These are independently selected from H, halogens (e.g., F), and optionally substituted (C1-C6) alkyl groups. A is an independently and arbitrarily substituted cyclic group, Z 3 It is an independent connecting part, n is between 1 and 500. L is a linker, Y is the part of interest (for example, as described herein).
[0028] In some embodiments of formula (XIII), Y is a chemoselective ligation group. In some embodiments of formula (XIII), n is 1. In some embodiments of formula (XIII), Y is a chemoselective ligation group linked to n M6PR bond moieties (Xn-) by a single linker -L-. In some embodiments of formula (XIII), n is 2, 3, 4, or 5. In some embodiments of formula (XIII), n is 5 to 10. In some embodiments of formula (XIII), n is 10 to 100, for example, 20 to 80, or 20 to 50. In some embodiments of formula (XIII), when n is 5 or greater, L is a polypeptide-containing linker (for example, as described herein).
[0029] In some embodiments of formulas (XII) to (XIII), when n is 1 and A is phenyl, then i) L comprises a skeleton of at least 16 consecutive atoms (e.g., at least 18 consecutive atoms, or at least 20 consecutive atoms, and possibly up to about 200 consecutive atoms), ii) Y is a biomolecule, and / or ii) Z 3 This is an amide, sulfonamide, urea, or thiourea linking portion to linker L.
[0030] In some embodiments of equation (XII), Z 2 As shown in formula (IIa), this is a linkage portion connected to the sugar ring in an alpha configuration at the anomeric or 1-position, and as a result, the compound is of formula (XIIa). [ka]
[0031] In some embodiments of equation (XII), Z 2 As shown in formula (IIb), this is a linkage portion connected to the sugar ring in a beta configuration at the anomeric or 1-position, and as a result, the compound is of formula (XIIb).
[0032] [ka]
[0033] In some embodiments of formulas (XI) to (XIIb), multiple M6PR binding sites, such as those in formula (III), are linked by multiple linkers L to different ligation sites on the desired portion Y. In some embodiments, when Y is a biomolecule, the compounds of formulas (XI) to (XIIb) can be called conjugates.
[0034] 4.2.1. Hydrophilic head base and connecting portion In some embodiments of equations (II) to (XIII), the M6PR coupling portion (X) is the connecting portion (Z 1 The compound comprises an analog or precursor or prodrug of a D-mannopyranose ring having a hydrophilic head group linked at the 5th position of the sugar ring by a ) . The linking portion can be 1 to 6 atoms, 1 to 5, 1 to 4 or 1 to 3 atoms, for example, with a length of 1 or 2 atoms. It is understood that the length of the linking portion can be selected in combination with the hydrophilic head group.
[0035] The hydrophilic head group (W) can be any suitable negatively charged group or a salt thereof. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic head group is a neutral, polar, or hydrophilic group. Generally, the hydrophilic head group can hydrogen bond or interact electrostatically with M6PR under aqueous or physiological conditions, similar to the phosphate group of M6P. The hydrophilic head group can be a bioisoster (e.g., a structural or functional mimetic) of the 6-phosphate group of a naturally occurring mannose-6-phosphate ligand. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic head group is non-hydrolyzable, i.e., under physiological conditions, the Z of X to which the hydrophilic head group is bound 1 It is a functional group that is stable (e.g., chemically or enzymatically) against cleavage from the linking portion and / or the pyranose ring.
[0036] Hydrophilic head groups are generally small groups such as heteroatom-containing functional groups or single heterocyclic groups, and in some cases have a MW of less than 200, for example, less than 150 or less than 100.
[0037] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic head group is a phosphonate or its bioisoster, such as a carboxylate or malonic acid ester. In some embodiments, the hydrophilic head group is a thiophosphonate.
[0038] In some embodiments of formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group is not phosphate, thiophosphate, or dithiophosphate. This is because such groups have a phosphate ester bond to the compound, and this phosphate ester bond is unstable under physiological conditions and may be easily cleaved (e.g., by phosphatases in biological systems or chemically). For example, the 6-phosphate ester group of M6P exhibits undesirable stability compared to phosphonate analogs or other more stable head groups. This disclosure also provides alternative non-hydrolyzable head groups in addition to phosphonates that retain the binding and internalization activity of the resulting M6PR-bound compounds.

Each D is independently either O or S.
[0040] In some embodiments of Formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group W is a phosphate group or a thiophosphate group, for example, -OP=O(OH)2, -SP=O(OH)2, -OP=O(SH)(OH), -SP=O(SH)(OH), -OP=S(OH)2, -OP=O(N(R3)2)(OH), or -OP=O(R3)(OH), or a salt thereof. In some embodiments of Formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group W is non-hydrolyzable, and thus is not selected from phosphoric acid or thiophosphoric acid, for example, -OP=O(OH)2, -SP=O(OH)2, -OP=O(SH)(OH), -SP=O(SH)(OH), -OP=S(OH) 3 )2)(OH), or -OP=O(R 3 )(OH), or a salt thereof.
[0041] In some embodiments of Formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group W is charged, for example, capable of forming a salt under aqueous or physiological conditions. In some embodiments of Formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group W is selected from -NR 3 P=O(OH)2, -P=O(OH)2, -P=S(OH)2, -P=O(SH)(OH), -P=S(SH)(OH), P(=O)R 1 OH, -PH(=O)OH, -(CR 2 R 2 )-P=O(OH)2, -COOH, -CH(COOH)2, -CR 1 R<0{000095>COOH, and -NHC(O)CO2H.
[0042] In some embodiments of Formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group W is a phosphonate or thiophosphonate (e.g., -P=O(OH)2, -P=S(OH)2, -P=O(SH)(OH), or -P=S(SH)(OH), or salts thereof). In some embodiments of Formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group W is a phosphonate or a salt thereof. In some embodiments of Formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group W is -CO2H or a salt thereof. In some embodiments of Formulas (II) to (XIII), the hydrophilic head group W is a malonic ester (e.g., -CH(COOH)2 or a salt thereof).

[0147] 4.3. 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 an M6PR bond or other desired parts. In some cases, a linker is divalent and connects two parts. In certain cases, a linker is a trivalent or higher polyvalent branched linking group. In some cases, a linker connecting two or more parts has a linear or branched skeleton with a measured length 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 or less, 60 atoms or less, 50 atoms or less, 40 atoms or less, 30 atoms or less, or 20 atoms or less). The linking portion may be a covalent bond connecting two groups, or a linear or branched chain of 1 to 500 atoms in length, for example, a chain of about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, or 500 carbon atoms, and the linker may be linear, branched, cyclic, or single-atom. In certain cases, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more, 10 or more, or even more carbon atoms in the linker skeleton may be optionally substituted with heteroatoms, such as sulfur, nitrogen, or oxygen heteroatoms. In certain cases, if the linker contains a PEG group, every other 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 no more than 1, 2, or 3 unsaturated bonds in the linker skeleton. The linker may contain one or more substituents, such as alkyl groups, aryl groups, or alkenyl groups. The linker may contain, but is not limited to, one or more oligos (ethylene glycol), ethers, thioethers, disulfides, amides, carbonates, carbamates, tertiary amines, or linear or branched alkyl groups (e.g., methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, 1-methylethyl (isopropyl), n-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl (t-butyl)). The linker skeleton may contain a cyclic group, such as an aryl, heterocyclic, cycloalkyl, or heterogroup, with two or more atoms of the cyclic group, for example, 2, 3, or 4 atoms, included in the skeleton.
[0148] In some embodiments, the “linker” or linking portion is derived from a molecule having two reactive ends, one of which is for binding to a desired portion (Y), such as a biomolecule (e.g., an antibody), and the other is for binding to a portion (denoted as X) that binds to the cell surface M6PR. When Y is a polypeptide, the polypeptide-binding reactive end of the linker is a site that can optionally bind to the polypeptide by a cysteine thiol or lysineamine group on the polypeptide, and is therefore a thiol-reactive group such as maleimide or dibromomaleimide or a thiol-reactive group as defined herein, or an amine-reactive group such as an active ester (e.g., pentafluorophenyl ester, tetrafluorophenyl ester, or NHS ester) or an amine-reactive group as defined herein.

[0314] In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, L is bound to a lysine residue of P by an amide bond. In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, L is bound to a cysteine residue of P by a thioether bond. In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, L is bound to a lysine residue of Ab by an amide bond, as described above. In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, L is bound to a cysteine residue of Ab by a thioether bond, as described above.

[0315] In certain embodiments of the conjugate described herein, when L is bound to a lysine residue of P by 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 by a thioether bond, m is an integer from 1 to 8.
[0316] In certain embodiments, the conjugation to polypeptide P or antibody Ab may be carried out by site-specific conjugation. For example, site-specific conjugation may result in a uniform load and minimize conjugate subpopulations that may alter antigen binding or pharmacokinetics. In certain embodiments, for example, the conjugation may involve engineering cysteine substitutions at positions on the polypeptide or antibody that provide reactive thiol groups, for example, on the heavy and / or light chains of the antibody, without interfering with the folding and assembly of the polypeptide or antibody, and without altering polypeptide or antigen binding (see, e.g., Junutula et al., J.Immunol.Meth.2008;332:41-52, and Junutula et al., Nature Biotechnol.2008;26:925-32, and also see WO2006 / 034488 (which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety)). Another non-restrictive approach involves selenocysteine being co-translationally inserted into polypeptide or antibody sequences by re-coding the stop codon UGA from termination to selenocysteine insertion, enabling site-specific covalent bonding at the nucleophilic selenol group of selenocysteine in the presence of other native amino acids (see, e.g., Hofer 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 binding to polypeptides or antibodies include the manipulation of non-natural amino acids at specific binding sites, such as p-acetylphenylalanine (p-acetyl-Phe), p-azidomethyl-N-phenylalanine (p-azidomethyl-Phe), and azidrisine (azido-Lys), as well as the manipulation of intrinsic functional tags for enzyme-mediated binding, such as LPXTG, LLQGA, sialic acid, and GlcNAc.See Jackson, Org. Process Res. Dev. 2016;20:852-866, and Tsuchikama and An, Protein Cell 2018;9(1):33-46, the entire contents of each thereof are incorporated by reference. Also see US2019 / 0060481A1 and US2016 / 0060354A1, the entire contents of each thereof are incorporated by reference. All such methods are intended to be used in connection with the preparation of the conjugates described herein.
[0317] The loading of compounds of formulas (I) and (III) to (IIIb) onto polypeptides (e.g., antibodies) described herein is represented by "m" in various formulas, which 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 "Xn-L-" or "Xn-" unit is represented by "n" in the formula. The terms "valence" or "multiple valences" refer to the number of "X" parts ("n") per unit. It will be understood that the loading, i.e., DAR, is not necessarily the same as the number of "X" parts per conjugate molecule. For example, if there is one "X" part per unit (n=1, with a valence of "1") and one "Xn-L-" unit per conjugate (m=1), then there are 1 x 1 = 1 "X" parts per conjugate. However, if there are two "X" parts per unit (n=2, bond valency "2") and four "Xn-L-" units per conjugate (m=4), then there will be 2 x 4 = 8 "X" parts per conjugate. Therefore, for the conjugates described herein, the total number of "X" parts per conjugate molecule is n x m. As used herein, the term "total bond valency" refers to the total number of "X" parts per conjugate molecule (n x m, total bond valency).
[0318] The DAR (load) may range from 1 to 80 units per conjugate. The conjugates provided herein may include, for example, a collection of polypeptides, antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments conjugated in units ranging from 1 to 80. The average number of units per polypeptide or antibody in the conjugate preparation obtained from the conjugation reaction can be characterized by conventional means such as mass spectrometry. The quantitative distribution of the DAR (load) in terms of m can also be measured. 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.

[0324] In certain embodiments, during the conjugation reaction, fewer units than the theoretical maximum number of units are conjugated to the polypeptide, such as an antibody. The polypeptide may contain, for example, lysine residues that do not react with the compound or linker reagent. Generally, for example, an antibody contains few free reactive cysteinethiol groups that can be linked to a drug unit; in fact, most cysteinethiol residues in an antibody exist as disulfide bonds. In certain embodiments, the antibody may be reduced under partially or completely reducing conditions with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol (DTT) or tricarbonylethylphosphine (TCEP) to generate reactive cysteinethiol groups. In certain embodiments, the antibody is subjected to denaturing conditions to expose reactive nucleophiles such as lysine or cysteine.

In yet another embodiment, the amino acids attached to the unit are located in the VL framework region of the antibody.
[0326] The DAR (loading) of the conjugate can be controlled in various ways, such as (i) limiting the molar excess of the compound or conjugating reagent relative to the polypeptide, (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature, (iii) partial or limited reducing conditions for cysteine thiol modification, or (iv) modifying the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide by recombinant techniques to change the number and position of cysteine residues and thereby control the number and / or position of linker-drug attachments (e.g., in the case of thiomab prepared as disclosed in WO2006 / 034488 (which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety)).
[0327] It should be understood that the preparation of conjugates described herein may yield a mixture of multiple conjugates having a distribution of one or more units attached to a polypeptide, such as an antibody. Individual conjugate molecules in the mixture can be identified by mass spectrometry and separated by HPLC, such as hydrophobic interaction chromatography, including methods known in the art. In certain embodiments, homogeneous conjugates with a single DAR (load) value can be separated from the conjugation mixture by electrophoresis or chromatography.
[0328] 4.5.1.3.Small molecules In some embodiments, the target binding moiety of the bifunctional compound of this disclosure is a small molecule that specifically binds to a target molecule, such as a target protein. In some embodiments, the bifunctional compound comprises a small molecule inhibitor or ligand of the target protein. The small molecule target binding moiety can be covalently linked to one or more M6PR binding moieties by a linker. The linker can be attached to the small molecule by substitution at any suitable site on the small molecule such that binding to the target protein is substantially maintained.
[0329] In some embodiments, the target-binding moiety is a small molecule inhibitor or antagonist of the target protein (as described herein, for example). Any convenient small molecule known to bind to the target of interest can be adapted for use in the compound and conjugate of the subject.
[0330] In some embodiments, the target-binding moiety is a small molecule inhibitor or antagonist of VEGF. In some embodiments, the target-binding moiety is a small molecule inhibitor or antagonist of PD-L1.
[0331] In some embodiments, the target binding moiety is a small molecule inhibitor or antagonist of EGFR protein, VEGFR protein, FGFR2 protein, or FGFR3 protein.
[0332] In some embodiments, the target binding moiety is a small molecule inhibitor or antagonist of the TNF protein (e.g., TNF-alpha). TNF-alpha (TNFα) is a soluble cytokine produced by monocytes and macrophages as part of immune and inflammatory processes, and is involved in a diverse range of cellular responses, including differentiation, proliferation, inflammation, and cell death. TNFα is a type II transmembrane protein that can be cleaved and secreted as a soluble form. Both the transmembrane and soluble biologically active forms of TNFα are homotrimeric complexes that can be signaled by TNF receptors 1 and 2 (TNF-R1 and TNF-R2). TNFα is directly involved in systemic inflammation by regulating intracellular NF-κB, JNK, and p38-MAPK signaling pathways.
[0333] The TNFα-binding moiety can be a TNFα inhibitor, such as a competitive inhibitor of TNF receptor binding or an allosteric inhibitor of TNF signaling. The compounds of this disclosure may include potent TNFα inhibitors, for example, inhibitors having submicromolar inhibitory activity. In some embodiments, the TNFα inhibitor is an allosteric inhibitor. In some embodiments, the TNFα-binding moiety is an allosterically asymmetric TNFα inhibitor. An allosterically asymmetric TNFα inhibitor is a compound that binds to an allosteric site in TNFα and stabilizes the trimer unit in an asymmetric structure that allows the TNFα trimer to recruit only two of the three copies of the TNF receptor (TNFR, e.g., TNFR1), resulting in a dysfunctional TNFα-TNFR signaling complex.
[0334] For example, see Xiao et al. in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2020 63(23),15050-15071 and McMillan et al. in Nature Communications (2021)12:582, which disclose the analysis of X-ray cocrystal structures of exemplary inhibitors bound to TNFα. Allosteric asymmetric TNFα inhibitors can act by specific mechanisms of action to provide potent inhibitory activity. For example, (a) the TNFα inhibitor binding site is a cavity within the TNFα trimer generated by the movement of monomer A; (b) the inhibitor stabilizes the TNFα trimer in an inactive structure by forming key π-π and hydrogen bond interactions; (c) the allosteric asymmetric TNFα inhibitor binds to the TNFα trimer, resulting in a large disruption of one TNFR binding site and a small disruption of a second site, while the third site remains unchanged; and (d) the allosteric asymmetric TNFα inhibitor modulates TNF-R activity by an allosteric mechanism rather than by direct competition with TNFR. Therefore, binding of an allosteric asymmetric TNFα inhibitor to a symmetric TNFα trimer can result in the formation of an asymmetric trimer that prevents the recruitment of the three TNF receptor molecules necessary for signal transduction.
[0335] 4.5.2.Target As summarized above, the bifunctional compounds of this disclosure may include a target moiety (Y) specifically bound to a target molecule. The target molecule may be a cell surface molecule or an extracellular molecule.
[0336] In some embodiments of the compounds and methods of this disclosure, the target molecule is a cell surface molecule. “Cell surface molecule” means a target molecule associated with the cell membrane, for example, having a domain that is inserted into or spans the cell membrane, such as a cell membrane anchoring domain or a transmembrane domain. The cell surface molecule may be any cell surface molecule for which targeted degradation by the endosomal / lysosomal pathway is desired. In some embodiments, the cell surface molecule is a cell surface receptor.
[0337] The target cell surface receptors include, but are not limited to, stem cell receptors, immune cell receptors, growth factor receptors, cytokine receptors, hormone receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases, receptors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family (e.g., HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2)), receptors of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, receptors of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) family, receptors of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) family, receptors of the re-transfecting (RET) receptor family, receptors of the Eph receptor family, receptors of the discoidin domain receptor (DDR) family, and mucin proteins (e.g., MUC1).

In certain embodiments, the cell surface receptor is an immune cell receptor selected from T cell receptors, B cell receptors, natural killer (NK) cell receptors, macrophage receptors, monocyte receptors, neutrophil receptors, dendritic cell receptors, mast cell receptors, basophil receptors, and eosinophil receptors.
[0338] In some embodiments, the target portion (Y) specifically binds to a cell surface molecule, and its effect is mediated not through specific molecular interactions (and therefore less likely to be inhibited), but through bulk biophysical or aggregation effects. A non-limiting example of such a cell surface molecule is mucin. Examples of mucins include, but are not limited to, MUC1, MUC16, MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC4, CD43, CD45, GPIb, etc.

"Cancer cell" means a cell exhibiting a neoplastic cellular phenotype that can be characterized by one or more appropriate indicators of cell transformation, such as abnormal cell growth, abnormal cell proliferation, loss of density-dependent growth inhibition, anchorage-independent growth ability, ability to promote tumor growth and / or development in non-human animal models of immunodeficiency, and / or cell transformation. Herein, "cancer cell" is used interchangeably with "tumor cell," "malignant cell," or "cancerous cell" and includes cancer cells such as solid tumors, semi-solid tumors, hematopoietic malignancies (e.g., leukemia cells, lymphoma cells, myeloma cells, etc.), primary tumors, and metastatic tumors. In some embodiments, the cell surface molecule present on cancer cells is a tumor-associated antigen or tumor-specific antigen. In certain embodiments, if the part of interest (Y) specifically binds to a cell surface molecule, that cell surface molecule is present on immune cells. In some embodiments, the cell surface molecules are present on immune cells selected from T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, dendritic cells, mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils. In certain embodiments, the cell surface molecules present on immune cells are inhibitory immune receptors. As used herein, “inhibitory immune receptor” is a receptor present on immune cells that negatively regulates the immune response. Examples of inhibitory immune receptors that can be inhibited according to the methods of this disclosure include, but are not limited to, inhibitory immune receptors of the Ig superfamily, including CD200R, CD300a (IRp60, mouse MAIR-I), CD300f (IREM-1), CEACAM1 (CD66a), FcyRIIb, ILT-2 (LIR-1, LILRB1, CD85j), ILT-3 (LIR-5, CD85k, LILRB4), ILT-4 (LIR-2, LILRB2), ILT-5 (LIR-3, LILRB3, mouse PIR-B), LAIR-1, PECAM-1 (CD31), PILR-a (FDF03), SIRL-1, and SIRP-a.

Further details regarding inhibitory immune receptors are described, for example, in Steevels et al. (2011) Eur.J.Immunol. 41(3):575-587. In some embodiments, cell surface molecules present on immune cells are ligands for inhibitory immune receptors. In certain embodiments, the cell surface molecules present on immune cells are immune checkpoint molecules. Non-limiting examples of immune checkpoint molecules to which the part of interest (Y) can specifically bind include PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA4, TIM3, LAG3, TIGIT, and members of the B7 family.
[0340] In some embodiments of the compounds and methods of this disclosure, the target molecule is an extracellular molecule. “Extracellular molecule” means a soluble molecule located outside the cell membrane of any cell near a soluble molecule. The extracellular molecule may be any extracellular molecule for which targeted degradation by the endosomal / lysosomal pathway is desired.
[0341] In some embodiments, the extracellular molecule is a soluble target protein. In some embodiments, the extracellular molecule is a secreted protein that accumulates in disease (e.g., alpha-synuclein), cholesterol carrier (e.g., ApoB), infectious toxin (e.g., AB toxin, ESAT-6), infectious particle (e.g., whole virus, whole bacterium, etc.), coagulation factor (e.g., factor IX), target of an FDA-approved antibody that binds to the extracellular molecule (e.g., TNF-alpha), chemokine or cytokine (e.g., a sepsis or chronic inflammation mediator such as IL-1), protein hormone (e.g., insulin, ACTH, etc.), protein mediator of mood disorders, protein mediator of energy homeostasis (e.g., leptin, ghrelin, etc.), protein allergen present in the bloodstream or antibodies against such allergens (e.g., in the case of peanut allergy, etc.), protein toxin (e.g., snake venom hyaluronidase, etc.), autoantibodies, etc.
[0342] In some embodiments, the target molecule is an extracellular molecule that is an antibody, for example, an antibody specifically bound to a cell surface molecule or a different extracellular molecule. In some embodiments, the antibody is an autoantibody. In some embodiments, the target is human immunoglobulin A (IgA). In some embodiments, IgA is a specific antibody that plays a crucial role in mucosal immune function. In the blood, IgA interacts with an Fc receptor called CD89 expressed on immune effector cells, initiating an inflammatory response. Abnormal IgA expression is thought to be associated with many autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases. In some embodiments, the target is human immunoglobulin G (IgG). The Fc region of IgG contains an N-glycosylation site conserved at asparagine 297 in the constant region of the heavy chain. Various N-glycans can be attached to this site. N-glycan IgG composition is associated with several autoimmune diseases, infections, and metabolic diseases. Furthermore, overexpression of IgG4 has been associated with IG4-related diseases. In some embodiments, the target is human immunoglobulin E (IgE). IgE is a type of immunoglobulin that plays an important role in type I hypersensitivity, which can cause various allergic diseases and conditions.
[0343] In some embodiments, the extracellular molecule is a ligand for a cell surface receptor. The cell surface receptor ligand of interest includes, but is not limited to, growth factors (e.g., epidermal growth factor (EGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), etc.), cytokines (e.g., interleukins, interferons, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and any specific subtype of such cytokines), hormones, etc. In a particular embodiment, the part of interest (Y) specifically binds to apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4).
[0344] 4.5.3.

In some embodiments, the part of interest is selected from enzymes (e.g., lysosomal enzymes), nanoparticles, viral compositions (e.g., viral particles), therapeutic proteins, and therapeutic antibodies.
[0345] In some embodiments, the target portion Y is selected from small molecules, small molecule drugs, chemotherapeutic agents, cytotoxic agents, diagnostic agents, dyes, fluorophores, and the like.
[0346] In some embodiments, the target portion Y is a nanoparticle suitable for the delivery of one or more drugs or cargo within the nanoparticle.

In certain examples, the viral particle further includes an envelope (generally including a lipid portion and envelope proteins) surrounding or partially surrounding the capsid.
[0353] Viral particles may also be called “recombinant viral particles,” and as used herein, these terms refer to genetically modified viral particles, for example, by deletion or other mutation of endogenous viral genes, and / or by addition or insertion of heterologous nucleic acid constructs into the polynucleotides of the viral particle. Thus, recombinant viral particles generally refer to viral particles that contain a capsid coat or shell (and any outer envelope) that packages a polynucleotide sequence (i.e., a polynucleotide heterologous to the virus) containing both viral and non-viral sequences. This polynucleotide sequence is typically the sequence of interest for genetic modification of cells.

[0358] The modified AAV compositions presented herein, for example, AAV conjugates or fusions, may include any AAV composition described herein, for example, any AAV particles, capsids or capsid proteins, or fragments thereof. The terms “AAV capsid protein” or “AAV cap protein” refer to a protein encoded by the AAV capsid (cap) gene (e.g., VP1, VP2, and VP3) or its variants or fragments. This term includes capsid proteins expressed by or derived from AAV, such as recombinant AAV, including chimeric AAV. For example, this term includes, but is not limited to, capsid proteins derived from any AAV serotype, such as AAV1, AAV2, AAV2i8, AAV3, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, AAV10, AAV rh10, AAV11, AAV12, AAV13, AAV-DJ, AAV3b, AAV LK03, AAV rh74, AAV Anc81, Anc82, Anc83, Anc84, Anc110, Anc113, Anc126, or Anc127, AAV_go.1, AAV hu.37, or AAVrh.8, or their variants.

[0360] Any suitable portion that binds to a viral particle, viral capsid, viral envelope, or viral protein (e.g., viral capsid protein or envelope protein) can be adapted for use in the cross-linked portion conjugate of this disclosure.
[0361] In certain embodiments, the crosslinking portion is a polypeptide that specifically binds to a viral composition. In some embodiments, the crosslinking portion is a polypeptide that binds to a viral composition, such as a viral particle, viral capsid, viral envelope, or viral protein, such as a viral capsid protein or viral envelope protein. In certain embodiments, the crosslinking composition binds to a viral capsid protein or viral envelope protein if the viral protein is part of a viral particle.
[0362] In certain embodiments, the crosslinked portion is an antibody or antibody fragment (e.g., an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody) that specifically binds to the viral composition. In certain embodiments, the crosslinked portion that binds to the viral protein may also bind to the viral particle, for example, by binding to the viral protein incorporated into the viral particle. Similarly, in certain embodiments, the crosslinked portion that binds to the viral particle may also bind to the viral protein even if the viral protein is not incorporated into the viral particle. The viral particle may be an AAV virus particle. The viral protein may be an AAV capsid protein.
[0363] In some embodiments, the crosslinked portions of the disclosed herein specifically bind to AAV compositions, such as AAV particles, AAV capsids, or AAV viral proteins (e.g., AAV capsid proteins, e.g., VP1, VP2, or VP3 proteins).

[0384] In the compositions provided herein, the conjugates described herein may be mixed with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. The concentration of the conjugate in the composition may be effective, for example, at the time of administration, to deliver an amount that treats, prevents, or improves the disease or disorder or its symptoms described herein.
[0385] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are formulated for single-dose administration. To formulate the composition, a weight fraction of the conjugate is dissolved, suspended, dispersed, or otherwise mixed in a selected carrier at an effective concentration such that the symptoms to be treated are alleviated, prevented, or one or more symptoms are improved.

[0387] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein are provided for administration to subjects, e.g., humans or animals (e.g., mammals), in unit dosage forms such as sterile parenteral (e.g., intravenous) solutions or suspensions containing an appropriate amount of the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions are also provided for administration to humans and animals in unit dosage forms containing oral or nasal solutions or suspensions, and oil-water emulsions, containing an appropriate amount of the conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof. In certain embodiments, the conjugate is formulated and administered in unit dosage forms or multi-dose dosage forms. As used herein, unit dosage forms refer to physically separate units, individually packaged as known in the art, suitable for human or animal (e.g., mammalian) subjects. Each unit dose contains a predetermined amount of conjugate sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect, together with the necessary pharmaceutical carrier, vehicle, or diluent. Examples of unit dosage forms include ampoules, syringes, and individually packaged capsules. Unit dosage forms can be administered in divided doses or in multiple doses. A multi-dose dosage form is a dosage form in which multiple identical unit dosage forms are packaged in a single container and administered in separate unit dosage forms. Examples of multi-dose dosage forms include vials, capsule bottles, or bottles. Therefore, in certain embodiments, a multi-dose dosage form is a multiple of unit dosage forms that are not separated in the packaging.

[0389] Practical methods for preparing such dosage forms are known or obvious to those skilled in the art; see, for example, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (2012) 22nd ed., Pharmaceutical Press, Philadelphia, PA. Dosage forms or compositions can be prepared containing antibody in an amount ranging from 0.005% to 100%, with the remainder consisting of a non-toxic carrier.
[0390] In certain embodiments, parenteral administration is characterized by subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous injection, but parenteral administration is also considered herein. Injectable preparations can be prepared in liquid solution or suspension, solid form suitable for dissolving or suspending in liquid before injection, or conventional forms such as emulsions. Injectable preparations, solutions, and emulsions also contain one or more excipients. Suitable excipients include, for example, water, saline, glucose, glycerol, or ethanol.

The solutions may be aqueous or non-aqueous.
[0392] For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and solutions containing thickeners and solubilizers, such as glucose, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol, as well as mixtures thereof.
[0393] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers used in parenteral formulations include aqueous vehicles, non-aqueous vehicles, antimicrobial agents, isotonic agents, buffers, antioxidants, local anesthetics, suspensions and dispersants, emulsifiers, metal ion sequestering agents or chelating agents, and other pharmaceutically acceptable substances.
[0394] The pharmaceutical carrier also includes ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol as a water-miscible vehicle, and sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, citric acid, or lactic acid for pH adjustment.
[0395] In certain embodiments, intravenous or intra-arterial infusion of a sterile aqueous solution containing the conjugate described herein is an effective method of administration.

[0422] 4.10.Definition This disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments described and is naturally subject to change. It should also be understood that the terminology used herein is solely for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit them, as the scope of this disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
[0423] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Any methods and materials similar to or equivalent to those described herein may also be used in the practice or testing of embodiments of this disclosure.
[0424] It should be noted that the singular forms “a,” “and,” and “the” used herein and in the appended claims include multiple referents unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, the expression “compound” includes not only a single compound but also combinations of two or more compounds, and the expression “substituent” includes not only a single substituent but also two or more substituents, and so on.
[0425] In describing and claiming the present invention, certain terms will be used in accordance with the definitions set forth below. It will be understood that the definitions provided herein are not intended to be mutually exclusive. Accordingly, some chemical terms may fall under the definitions of multiple terms.
[0426] Where used herein, the words “for example,” “for instance,” “etc.,” or “including” are intended to introduce examples that further clarify the more general subject matter. These examples are provided solely as an aid to understanding the disclosure and are not limiting in any way.
[0427] The publications discussed herein are provided only for disclosures prior to the filing date of this application. Nothing in this specification should be construed as admitting that the present invention does not have prior rights to such publications by prior invention. Furthermore, the dates of the publications provided may differ from the actual publication dates and may need to be verified individually.
[0428] The terms “protein” and “polypeptide” are used interchangeably. Proteins may contain portions other than amino acids (e.g., glycoproteins) and / or may be processed or modified in other ways. Those skilled in the art will understand that a “protein” may be a complete protein chain (with or without a signal sequence) produced by a cell, or a portion thereof. Those skilled in the art will understand that a protein may sometimes contain multiple protein chains linked, for example, non-covalently or covalently, by one or more disulfide bonds, or otherwise associated. In certain embodiments, polypeptides may exist as a single chain or as two or more associated chains, and may exist as polymers such as dimers, trimers, etc. These terms also include amino acid polymers that are modified naturally or by intervention (e.g., by the formation of disulfide bonds, glycosylation, lipidization, acetylation, phosphorylation, or other operations or modifications). The definition also includes polypeptides containing one or more amino acid analogs, including, but not limited to, non-natural amino acids, as well as other modifiers known in the art. Polypeptides may comprise 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, and methylation. In some embodiments, proteins may comprise native amino acids, non-native amino acids, synthetic amino acids, and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, proteins may comprise antibodies, antibody fragments, their biologically active portions, and / or characteristic portions thereof.
[0429] The terms “antibody” and “immunoglobulin” are technical terms and may be used interchangeably in this specification in their broadest sense, including certain types of immunoglobulin molecules that contain one or more antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to an antigen or epitope.
[0430] In certain embodiments, the isolated antibody described herein (e.g., a monoclonal antibody) or its antigen-binding fragment specifically binds to a protein of interest, such as EGFR, and is conjugated to one or more lysosomal targeting moieties, for example, by a linker.
[0431] An "antigen" is a portion or molecule containing an epitope to which an antibody can specifically bind. Therefore, the antigen is also specifically bound by the antibody. In certain embodiments, the antigen to which the antibody described herein binds is the 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).
[0432] "Epitope" is a known term in this technology and refers to a local region of an antigen to which an antibody can specifically bind. An epitope may be a linear epitope of consecutive amino acids, or it may contain amino acids from two or more discontinuous regions of the antigen.
[0433] In the context of antibody binding, the terms “binding,” “binding,” “specifically binding,” or “specifically binding to” refer to an antibody that binds to an antigen (e.g., an epitope) as such binding is understood by those skilled in the art. For example, a molecule that specifically binds to an antigen may also bind to other polypeptides, in which case the affinity determined by immunoassays, Biacore®, KinExA 3000 instrument (Sapidyne Instruments, Boise, ID), or other assays known in the art is generally lower. In certain embodiments, a molecule that specifically binds to an antigen may have a K when that molecule binds to another antigen. d Affinity (K) that is at least 2 logs, 2.5 logs, 3 logs, or 4 logs lower (higher affinity) than d ) binds to the antigen. In another specific embodiment, the molecule that specifically binds to the antigen does not cross-react with other proteins. In another specific embodiment, if EGFR is the protein of interest, the molecule that specifically binds to the antigen does not cross-react with other non-EGFR proteins.
[0434] Antibodies include full-length antibodies (e.g., complete immunoglobulins), antibody fragments, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, recombinant antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (including bispecific antibodies), human antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, synthetic antibodies, tetrameric antibodies containing two heavy chain molecules 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, and antibodies having two light chain / heavy chain pairs (e.g., identical pairs). This includes, but is not limited to, bodies, intrabodies, heterozygous 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-bound Fv(sdFv), anti-idiotype (anti-Id) antibodies (e.g., anti-anti-Id antibodies), and any of the epitope-binding fragments described above.
[0435] 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 thereof (e.g., human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4) or a subclass thereof.
[0436] In certain embodiments, the antibody is a four-chain antibody unit containing two heavy chain (H) / light chain (L) pairs, where the amino acid sequences of the H chains and L chains are identical. In certain embodiments, the H chains 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 κ or λ light chain constant region, e.g., a human κ or λ light chain constant region. In yet another specific embodiment, the H chain constant region of such an antibody includes a γ heavy chain constant region, e.g., a human γ heavy chain constant region. In certain embodiments, such an antibody includes an IgG constant region, e.g., a human IgG constant region.
[0437] The term "constant region" or "constant domain" is a well-known antibody term (sometimes called "Fc") and refers to the carboxyl-terminal portion of the light and / or heavy chain of an antibody, which does not directly participate in antibody-antigen binding but can exert various effector functions, such as interaction with Fc receptors. These terms refer to portions of an immunoglobulin molecule that generally have more conserved amino acid sequences compared to immunoglobulin variable domains.
[0438] The term "heavy chain" as used in relation to antibodies can refer to any different type based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain, such as alpha (α), delta (δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), and mu (μ), which give rise to antibodies of the IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM classes, respectively, and also include subclasses of IgG, such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.
[0439] The term "light chain" as used in relation to antibodies can refer to any different type based on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain, such as lambda (λ) and kappa (κ). Light chain amino acid sequences are well known in the art. In certain embodiments, the light chain is a human light chain.
[0440] 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 a specific method for producing the antibody. Generally, a population of monoclonal antibodies can be produced by cells, cell populations, or cell lines. In certain embodiments, the “monoclonal antibody” as used herein is an antibody produced by a single cell (e.g., a hybridoma or host cell producing a recombinant antibody) and the antibody is specifically bound to an epitope as determined, for example, by ELISA or other antigen-binding assays or competitive binding assays known in the art or shown in the examples described 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 antibody or a multispecific antibody (e.g., bispecific antibody).
[0441] The term “variable region” or “variable domain” refers to a portion of an antibody, typically the light chain or heavy chain, usually the approximately 110–120 amino acids at the amino terminus of the mature heavy chain and approximately 90–100 amino acids of the mature light chain. The variable region includes a complementation-determining region (CDR) flanked by a framework region (FR). Generally, the spatial positioning of the CDR and FR is as follows, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus: FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4. While we do not wish to be bound by a specific mechanism or theory, the CDRs of the light and heavy chains are thought to be primarily responsible for antibody-antigen interaction and antibody specificity to an epitope. In certain embodiments, the amino acid position numbering of the antibody described herein follows the EU Index described 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 a particular embodiment, the variable region is a human variable region.
[0442] In certain embodiments, the CDR of an antibody 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 (hereinafter referred to as "Chothia CDR") (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. See (iii) for example, the ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) numbering system described in Lefranc, 1990, The Immunologist, 7:132-136 and Lefranc et al., 1999, Nucleic Acids Res., 27:209-212 ("IMGT CDR"); or (iv) for example, MacCallum et al. The AbM numbering system (referred to herein as "AbM CDR") is described in 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) it can be determined according to the Contact numbering system referred to herein as “Contact CDRs” (the definition of Contact 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)).
[0443] In this specification, the terms “full-length antibody,” “complete antibody,” and “whole antibody” are used interchangeably to refer to an antibody in substantially complete form, and not to an antibody fragment as defined below. These terms specifically refer to antibodies having a heavy chain containing an Fc region.
[0444] An "antibody fragment" comprises only a portion of a complete antibody, which retains at least one, two, three, and as many as possible, or all of the functions typically associated with that portion when present in a complete antibody. In one embodiment, the antibody fragment contains the antigen-binding site of a complete antibody and therefore retains the ability to bind to an antigen. In another embodiment, an antibody fragment, for example, an antibody fragment containing an Fc region, retains at least one of the biological functions typically associated with the Fc region when present in a complete antibody. Such functions may include FcRn binding, regulation of antibody half-life, conjugate function, and complement binding. In another embodiment, the antibody fragment is a monovalent antibody whose half-life in vivo is substantially similar to that of a complete antibody. For example, such an antibody fragment may include an antigen-binding arm linked to an Fc sequence that can confer in vivo stability to the fragment. Suitable antibody fragments for use in the compounds of this disclosure include, for example, Fv fragments, Fab fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, Fab' fragments, scFv(sFv) fragments, and scFv-Fc fragments.
[0445] In this specification, the terms “polynucleotide” or “nucleic acid,” used interchangeably, refer to polymeric forms of nucleotides of any length, which are either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof. Polynucleotides can have any three-dimensional structure and can perform any known or unknown function. Non-limiting examples of polynucleotides include genes, gene fragments, exons, introns, messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, ribozymes, cDNA, recombinant polynucleotides, branched polynucleotides, plasmids, vectors, isolated DNA of any sequence, regulatory regions, isolated RNA of any sequence, nucleic acid probes, and primers. Nucleic acid molecules may be linear or circular. Nucleotides may be deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, modified nucleotides or bases, and / or analogs thereof, or any substrates that can be incorporated into polymers by DNA or RNA polymerase or by synthetic reactions. Polynucleotides may include modified nucleotides such as methylated nucleotides and their analogs. Nucleic acid molecules may be aptamers.
[0446] The term "purification" refers to the separation of a substance (compound, polynucleotide, protein, polypeptide, polypeptide composition) such that the substance of interest constitutes the majority of the sample. Typically, substantially purified components in a sample make up 50%, 80-85%, and 90-99% of the sample, such as at least 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, and 99%. Techniques for purifying polynucleotides, polypeptides, and viral particles of interest are well known in the art and include, for example, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and density precipitation.
[0447] Terms such as “treatment” and “to treat” refer to obtaining a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect, such as a reduction in tumor burden. This effect may be prophylactic in the sense of completely or partially preventing the disease or its symptoms, and / or partially or completely curing the disease and / or adverse effects resulting from the disease. As used herein, “treatment” encompasses any treatment of a disease in a mammal, in particular a human, and includes (a) preventing the development of the disease or its symptoms in a subject that may be disease-predisposed but has not yet been diagnosed with the disease (including, for example, diseases associated with or potentially caused by a primary disease, such as hepatic fibrosis which may occur in the context of chronic HCV infection), (b) inhibiting the disease, i.e., stopping its progression, and (c) reducing the disease, i.e., causing disease regression (e.g., a reduction in tumor burden).
[0448] In this specification, the terms “individual,” “host,” “subject,” and “patient” are used interchangeably and refer to animals including, but not limited to, humans and non-human primates (including monkeys and humans), rodents (including rats and mice), cattle, horses, sheep, cats, dogs, etc. “Mammal” means any member(s) or member(s) of any mammalian species, including, for example, Canidae, Felidae, Equidae, Bovidae, Aquifidae, rodents, etc., as well as primates (including non-human primates) and humans. Non-human animal models, such as mammals, such as non-human primates, mice, and rabbits, may be used in experimental studies.
[0449] The "therapeutic dose" or "effective dose" refers to the amount of a compound sufficient to produce a therapeutic effect on a disease, condition, or disorder when administered to a mammal or other subject for the treatment of that disease, condition, or disorder. The "therapeutic dose" varies depending on the compound, the disease and its severity, the age and weight of the patient being treated, and other factors.
[0450] Unless otherwise specified, if a compound may exist in 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 in this specification. For example, if a compound is described as having one of two tautomers, both tautomers are intended to be included in this specification. Thus, the compounds provided herein may be enantiomerically pure or mixtures of stereoisomers or diastereomers. The compounds provided herein may contain a chiral center. Such a chiral center may be in either the (R) or (S) configuration, or a mixture thereof. The chiral centers of the compounds described herein may undergo epimerization in vivo. Thus, those skilled in the art will recognize that, in the case of a compound that undergoes epimerization in vivo, administering the compound in the (R) form is equivalent to administering the compound in the (S) form.
[0451] This disclosure also encompasses all suitable isotopic variants of the compounds of this disclosure, whether radioactive or otherwise. 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 primarily found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds according to this disclosure include isotopes of 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 131Examples include I. Specific isotopic variants of the compounds disclosed herein, particularly those incorporating one or more radioactive isotopes, may be useful, for example, for examining the mechanism of action or the distribution of active compounds in the body. For this purpose, 3 H, 14 C, and / or 18 Compounds labeled with 1F isotopes are suitable. Furthermore, the incorporation of an isotope (e.g., deuterium) can improve the metabolic stability of the compound, potentially resulting in specific therapeutic effects such as an extension of the half-life in the body or a reduction in the required effective amount. In some embodiments, the hydrogen atoms of the compounds described herein may be replaced with deuterium atoms. In certain embodiments, "deuterated" is applied to a chemical group and, unless otherwise specified, refers to a chemical group that isotoped with deuterium in amounts significantly greater than its natural abundance. Isotope variants of the compounds according to this disclosure can be prepared by various methods, including, for example, those described below and in the examples, by using specific reagents and / or corresponding isotope modifications of the starting compounds.
[0452] Therefore, any embodiment described herein means that it includes salts of the compound, single stereoisomers, mixtures of stereoisomers, and / or isotopic forms.
[0453] "Pharmacologically acceptable excipients," "pharmaceutically acceptable diluents," "pharmaceutically acceptable carriers," and "pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants" mean excipients, diluents, carriers, and adjuvants that are useful for preparing pharmaceutical compositions, are generally safe, non-toxic, and not biologically or otherwise undesirable, and include excipients, diluents, carriers, and adjuvants that are acceptable for veterinary and human pharmaceutical uses. As used herein and in the claims, "pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, diluents, carriers, and adjuvants" includes one or more such excipients, diluents, carriers, and adjuvants.
[0454] The term "pharmaceutical composition" encompasses compositions suitable for administration to mammals, particularly humans. Generally, "pharmaceutical compositions" are preferably sterile and free from contaminants that could cause undesirable reactions in the subject (for example, the compounds in the pharmaceutical composition are pharmaceutical grade). Pharmaceutical compositions can be designed for administration to subjects or patients requiring treatment via various routes of administration, including oral, intraoral, rectal, parenteral, intraperitoneal, intradermal, intratracheal, intramuscular, and subcutaneous.
[0455] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means that it is approved by a federal or state regulatory authority, or is listed in the United States Pharmacopeia, the European Pharmacopeia, or other generally accepted pharmacopoeias for use in animals, particularly humans.
[0456] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt suitable for use in contact with human and lower animal tissues without causing 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 conjugated compound, or separately by reacting the free basic functional group or group of the compound with a suitable organic acid.
