[0003] 3. Field This specification provides an antibody-drug conjugate platform, as well as an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprising the platform and an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, and the use of the ADC platform and ADC. [Background technology]

[0004] 4.Background technology Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine the targeting effect of an antibody with the cytotoxic activity of a bioactive molecule, creating a "biological missile." ADCs are induced by antibodies to bind to target cells, which then internalize the cells to release a bioactive molecule payload, treating related diseases. The bioactive molecule is covalently bound to the antibody via a linker.

[0005] Lysine is the most common binding site in antibodies, and its ε-amino group can react with the activated carboxyl group of the linker to form an amide bond. Site-directed binding techniques are currently available, in which the carboxyl group of the linker is activated and then forms an amide bond with a specific lysine ε-amino group in the antibody to complete the binding. However, such amide bonds are readily hydrolyzed under enzymatic action in vivo. As a result, the bioactive molecule and antibody dissociate before reaching the target cell, leading to off-target toxicity. The thiol groups of antibody cysteine ​​residues typically exist in the form of disulfide bonds. These disulfide bonds within the antibody can be cleaved to provide multiple free sulfhydryl groups as binding sites. One method of binding to antibody sulfhydryl groups is through a Michael addition reaction between the free sulfhydryl group and an electrophilic maleimide functional group, or through two Michael addition reactions between a specific substrate and the free sulfhydryl group of the antibody to form a unique sulfur crosslink. WO2016142049 discloses amatoxin as a bioactive molecule and a structure containing amatoxin bound to a methylsulfonyl-substituted oxadiazole-based linker, but does not specifically describe the details of antibody binding. As several researchers in the bioconjugate field have pointed out, the thiol substitution product resulting from the reaction between the electrophilic maleimide functional group and the free thiol of the antibody is subject to slow elimination, thus the reaction is reversed. When this reversible reaction occurs in purified ADC preparations, the reaction is barely detectable because the maleimide and thiols regenerated through the elimination process simply react again to reform the intact conjugate. However, in the presence of other thiols, the net effect may be the transfer of maleimide from the antibody of the ADC to other available thiols. This process occurs in plasma, and the transfer of maleimide from ADC to cysteine ​​34 of serum albumin has been documented in the literature (Alley et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 2008, 19, 759-765). This process has also been reported when ADCs are incubated in the presence of excess cysteine ​​or glutathione (Jununtula et al., Nature Biotech, 2012). This disclosure focuses, in particular, on bioconjugates that do not undergo this transfer reaction. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0016] 7. Detailed explanation This specification provides antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), as well as covalent linkers and linker payloads (platforms) for producing ADCs. ADCs can be used to treat diseases or disorders, such as cancer, by providing compositions containing ADCs. The ADCs disclosed herein are more stable than known ADCs.

[0017] Some conjugators are known to be difficult to conjugate with binders, for example, requiring harsh reaction conditions that can adversely modify the binder or requiring multiple reaction steps. The conjugator assembly of this disclosure efficiently conjugates to cysteine ​​residues on antibodies without requiring, for example, separate hydrolysis steps. Some ADCs are known to undergo deconjugation under physiological conditions. The conjugator-antibody conjugate of this disclosure is less prone to early deconjugation in plasma because the binding of the conjugator assembly to the binder and payload is improved.

[0018] 7.1.Definition In this disclosure, the following terms have the meanings set forth below unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art in which this disclosure is made. If there are multiple definitions of a term used herein, the definitions in this section shall prevail unless otherwise noted.

[0019] In this specification, the term “antibody” is used in its broadest sense and specifically encompasses intact monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments exhibiting desired biological activity. Intact antibodies primarily have two regions: a variable region and a constant region. The variable region binds to and interacts with the target antigen. The variable region includes a complementary determination region (CDR) that recognizes and binds to a specific binding site on a particular antigen. The constant region is recognized by the immune system and can interact with it (see, e.g., Janeway et al., 2001, Immuno. Biology, 5th Ed., Garland Publishing, New York). Antibodies can be of any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgA), class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2), or subclass. Antibodies can be derived from any suitable species. In some embodiments, the antibody is derived from a human or mouse. The antibody may be, for example, a human, humanized, or chimeric antibody.

[0020] As used herein, the term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population (i.e., the individual antibodies constituting the population are identical except for minor naturally occurring variations that may be present). Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific and target a single antigenic site. The modifier “monoclonal” should not be interpreted as requiring antibody production by any particular method.

[0021] An "intact antibody" is an antibody that, in addition to an antigen-binding variable region, contains a light chain constant domain (CL) and a heavy chain constant domain (CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4) (depending on the antibody class). The constant domain may be a native sequence constant domain (e.g., a human native sequence constant domain) or an amino acid sequence variant thereof.

[0022] "Antibody fragment" includes a part of an intact antibody that contains an antigen-binding region or variable region. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, and Fv fragments, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibody molecules, scFv, scFv-Fc, antibody fragment(s), multispecific antibody fragments formed from fragment(s) produced by a Fab expression library, or any of the above epitope-binding fragments that immunospecifically bind to a target antigen (e.g., a cancer cell antigen, a viral antigen, or a microbial antigen).

[0023] "Antigen" is an entity to which an antibody specifically binds.

[0024] The terms "specific binding" and "specifically binds" mean that an antibody or antibody derivative binds in a highly selective manner to its corresponding target antigen and does not bind to a large number of other antigens. Typically, an antibody or antibody derivative binds with an affinity of at least about 1×10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M, 10 -10 M, 10 -11 M, or 10 -12 M and binds to a given antigen with an affinity that is at least 2-fold greater than the affinity in binding to a non-specific antigen (e.g., BSA, casein) other than the given antigen or an antigen closely related thereto.

[0025] The terms "inhibit" or "inhibition of" mean to reduce a measurable amount or to prevent completely.

[0026] The term "therapeutic dose" refers to the amount of a drug effective in treating a disease or disorder in a mammal. In the case of cancer, a therapeutic dose of a drug can reduce the number of cancer cells, shrink tumor size, inhibit (i.e., slow or stop to some extent) cancer cell invasion into peripheral organs, inhibit (i.e., slow or stop to some extent) tumor metastasis, inhibit tumor growth to some extent, and / or alleviate to some extent one or more symptoms associated with cancer. A drug has cell division inhibitory and / or cytotoxic properties to the extent that it can inhibit growth and / or kill existing cancer cells. For cancer treatment, efficacy can be measured, for example, by evaluating the time to progression (TTP) and / or quantifying the response rate (RR).

[0027] The terms “considerable” or “considerable” refer to a majority of the mixture or sample, i.e., more than 50% of the population (for example, more than 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the population).

[0028] The terms "intracellularly cleaved" and "intracellular cleavage" refer to an intracellular metabolic process or reaction of a ligand-drug conjugate (e.g., antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)) in which the covalent bond (e.g., linker) between the drug portion (D) and the ligand unit (e.g., antibody (BA or Ab)) is cleaved, resulting in the release of the drug from the antibody or the dissociation of another metabolite of the conjugate within the cell. Therefore, the cleaved portion of a drug-linker-ligand conjugate is an intracellular metabolite.

[0029] The term "cytotoxic activity" refers to the cytotoxic, cell division inhibiting, or antiproliferative activity of a drug-linker-ligand conjugate compound or its intracellular metabolite. Cytotoxic activity can be expressed as an IC50 value, which is the concentration (moles or mass) per unit volume at which half of the cells survive.

[0030] As used herein, the term “cytotoxic agent” refers to a substance that inhibits cellular function and / or causes cellular destruction. This term is intended to include radioisotopes (e.g., radioisotopes of 211At, 131I, 125I, 90Y, 186Re, 188Re, 153Sm, 212Bi, 32P, 60C, and Lu), chemotherapeutic agents, and toxins (e.g., low-molecular-weight toxins or enzymatic toxins of bacterial, fungal, plant, or animal origin) (including their synthetic analogs and derivatives).

[0031] The terms “cancer” and “malignant” refer to or represent a physiological condition or disorder in mammals typically characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. A “tumor” contains one or more cancerous cells. Examples of cancer include, but are not limited to, carcinomas, lymphomas, blastomas, sarcomas, and leukemias or lymphoid malignancies. More specific examples of such cancers include squamous cell carcinoma (e.g., epithelial squamous cell carcinoma), lung cancer (including small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC"), lung adenocarcinoma, and lung squamous cell carcinoma), peritoneal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric cancer or stomach cancer including gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer or uterine cancer, salivary gland cancer, kidney cancer or renal cancer, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer, thyroid cancer, liver cancer, anal cancer, penile cancer, and head and neck cancer.

[0032] In this specification, "autoimmune disease" refers to a disease or disorder that originates from and is directed against the tissues or proteins of an individual.

[0033] Examples of “patients” include, but are not limited to, mammals (e.g., humans, rats, mice, guinea pigs, monkeys, pigs, goats, cattle, horses, dogs, or cats), and birds or poultry. In one embodiment, the patient is a human.

[0034] The terms “to treat” or “treatment” refer to therapeutic treatment and preventive measures to prevent recurrence, unless otherwise indicated by the context, and their purpose is to suppress or slow (mitigate) undesirable physiological changes or impairments (e.g., the development or spread of cancer). For the purposes of this disclosure, beneficial or desirable clinical outcomes include, but are not limited to, symptom relief, reduction of disease severity, stabilization of the disease state (i.e., no worsening), delay or slowing of disease progression, improvement or mitigation of the disease state, and remission (partial or overall), whether detectable or undetectable. “Treatment” may also mean extending survival compared to the survival expected without treatment. Those requiring treatment include those who already have a condition or impairment, as well as those who are prone to developing a condition or impairment.

[0035] In the context of cancer, the term “to treat” includes any or all of the following: inhibiting tumor cells, cancer cells, or tumor growth; inhibiting the replication of tumor cells or cancer cells; reducing the overall tumor burden or decreasing the number of cancer cells; and improving one or more symptoms associated with the disease.

[0036] In the context of autoimmune diseases, the term “treat” includes any or all of the following: inhibiting the replication of cells associated with the autoimmune disease (including, but not limited to, cells that produce autoimmune disease antibodies); reducing the autoimmune antibody load; and improving one or more symptoms of the autoimmune disease.

[0037] As used herein and in the appended claims, the indefinite articles "a" and "an," and the definite article "the," include singular as well as plural referents, unless otherwise explicitly indicated by the context.

[0038] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean, when used in relation to the amount or weight percentage of a component of a composition, an amount or weight percentage that would be recognized by those skilled in the art as producing an equivalent pharmacological effect to that obtained from a specified amount or weight percentage. In certain embodiments, when used in this context, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean an amount or weight percentage that is within 30%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5% of a specified amount or weight percentage.

[0039] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms “about” and “approximately” mean, when used in relation to a numerical value or range of values ​​provided to characterize a particular solid form, e.g., a specific temperature or temperature range, e.g., one describing melting, dehydration, desolvation, or glass transition temperature; a mass change, e.g., a mass change as a function of temperature or humidity; a solvent or water content (e.g., in terms of mass or percentage); or a peak position, e.g., in analysis by IR, Raman spectroscopy, or XRPD, that the value or range of values ​​may deviate to an extent that is reasonable to those skilled in the art, but still describe a solid form. Techniques for characterizing crystalline and amorphous solids include, but are not limited to, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy, e.g., infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy, solid-state and solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, optical microscopy, hot-stage optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron crystallography and quantitative analysis, particle size analysis (PSA), surface area analysis, solubility testing, and dissolution testing. In certain embodiments, the terms “about” and “approximately” used in this context indicate that a numerical value or range may vary within 30%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1.5%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.25% of the given numerical value or range. For example, in some embodiments, the value of the XRPD peak position may vary by up to ±0.2°²θ while describing a particular XRPD peak.

[0040] The "alkyl" group is a saturated, partially saturated, or unsaturated linear or branched acyclic hydrocarbon having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, typically 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and in some embodiments 1 to 6, 1 to 4, or 2 to 6 carbon atoms.

The double bond of the alkenyl group may or may not conjugate with another unsaturated group. The alkenyl group may be unsubstituted or substituted.

[0042] A "cycloalkyl" group is a saturated or partially saturated cyclic alkyl group of 3 to 10 carbon atoms having a single cyclic ring or multiple fused or crosslinked rings, which may optionally be substituted with 1 to 3 alkyl groups. In some embodiments, the cycloalkyl group has 3 to 8 ring members, while in other embodiments, the number of ring carbon atoms ranges from 3 to 5, 3 to 6, or 3 to 7.

[0112] Diagrams showing substituents attached to an acyclic group via a bond between two atoms mean, unless otherwise specified, that the substituent may be attached to any atom of the bond through which the substituent bond passes, according to the techniques described herein or techniques known in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Therefore, for example, [ka] teeth [ka] It includes.

[0113] As used herein, “binding agent” refers to any molecule (e.g., an antibody) that is capable of binding with specificity to a given binding partner (e.g., an antigen).

[0114] As used herein, the term “amino acid” refers to an organic compound that contains an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid. Amino acids can be either proteinogenic or non-proteinogenic. “Protogenic” means that an amino acid is one of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids found in proteins. Examples of proteinogenic amino acids include alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine. “Non-proteinogenic” means that the amino acid is not naturally present in proteins or is not directly produced by cellular mechanisms (e.g., it is a product of post-translational modification). Non-extendable examples of non-proteinogenic amino acids include gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid), theanine (L-γ-glutamylethylamide), hydroxyproline, beta-alanine, ornithine, and citrulline.

[0115] As used herein, “peptide” is defined in its broadest sense across its various grammatical forms and refers to a compound of two or more subunit amino acids, amino acid analogs, or other peptide mimetic compounds. The subunits may be linked by peptide bonds or by other bonds (e.g., esters, ethers, etc.). As used herein, the term “amino acid” refers to natural and / or unnatural or synthetic amino acids (including glycine and both D and L optical isomers), as well as amino acid analogs and peptide mimetic compounds. When the peptide chain is short (e.g., two, three, or more amino acids), it is generally called an oligopeptide. When the peptide chain is longer, the peptide is usually called a polypeptide or protein. Full-length proteins, analogs, variants, and fragments of these are included in this definition. The term also includes post-expression modifications of polypeptides, such as glycosylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation. Furthermore, because ionizable amino and carboxyl groups are present in the molecule, certain peptides can be obtained as acidic or basic salts, or in a neutral form. Peptides can be obtained directly from source organisms, or they can be produced through recombinant DNA or synthesis.

[0116] The amino acid sequences of antibodies can be numbered using any known numbering scheme, including those described in Kabat et al. ("Kabat" numbering scheme); Al-Lazikani et al., 1997, J. Mol. Biol., 273:927-948 ("Chothia" numbering scheme); MacCallum et al., 1996, J. Mol. Biol. 262:732-745 ("Contact" numbering scheme); Lefranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol., 2003, 27:55-77 ("IMGT" numbering scheme); and Honegge and Pluckthun, J. Mol. Biol., 2001, 309:657-70 ("AHo" numbering scheme). Unless otherwise specified, the numbering scheme used herein is the Kabat numbering scheme. However, the selection of a numbering scheme is not intended to imply sequence differences where they do not exist, and those skilled in the art can easily determine the sequence location by examining the amino acid sequences of one or more antibodies. Unless otherwise stated, the "EU numbering scheme" is generally used to refer to residues within the constant region of the antibody heavy chain (as reported, e.g., by Kabat et al. (cited above)).

[0117] As used herein, the term “anti-HER2 antibody” refers to an antibody that selectively binds to the HER2 receptor (e.g., trastuzumab (Herceptin)). In one embodiment, trastuzumab may be prepared and used as described in US6407213 and US5821337. The entire disclosures of these documents are incorporated herein by reference.

[0118] As used herein, the term "ifinatamab" refers to an antibody that selectively binds to the B7H3 receptor. In one embodiment, ifinatamab may be prepared and used as described in US10117952 or WO2022102695. The entire disclosures of these documents are incorporated herein by reference.

[0119] As used herein, the term "cytotoxic activity" refers to activity that reduces or diminishes the cell viability of the cell line being tested.

[0120] In the following claims and prior descriptions, unless the context requires other meanings by explicit expression or necessary implied meaning, the word “comprise” or variations such as “comprises” or “comprising” are used in a comprehensive sense, that is, to specify the presence of the described features, but not to exclude the presence or addition of further features in various embodiments.

[0140] In some embodiments, stretcher units (-A-) are present, extending the framework of the covalent linker to increase the distance between the conjugator assembly and the drug unit (payload or payload residue). The conjugator assembly may contain components of formula (I) other than the binder (BA), stretcher unit (A), cleavable unit (W), spacer unit (Y), and payload residue (PA). The conjugator assembly may contain components of formula (II) other than the stretcher unit (A), cleavable unit (W), spacer unit (Y), and payload residue (PA). The conjugator assembly may contain components of formula (III) other than the stretcher unit (A). In various embodiments, the conjugator contains a methylsulfonyl group, a thiadiazole group, U, V, and a carbonyl group of formula (I), (II), and / or (III). A stretcher unit can combine a conjugator assembly with a cleavable unit if one exists, a conjugator assembly with a spacer unit if one does not exist but a spacer unit does, and a conjugator assembly with a drug unit if neither a cleavable unit nor a spacer unit exists. A stretcher unit can be combined with multiple cleavable units, spacer units, and / or drug units. The conjugator assembly, cleavable unit, spacer unit, and drug unit may be the conjugator assembly, cleavable unit, spacer unit, and drug unit described herein, respectively.

[0141] Stretcher units can modify the physicochemical properties of the drug-linker depending on the components of the stretcher unit. In some embodiments, stretcher units can enhance the solubility of the drug-linker and may contain one or more solubility-enhancing groups, such as ionic groups or water-soluble polymers. Water-soluble polymers are soluble in water at room temperature and may contain other polymers, such as polyethyleneimines, in addition to poly(ethylene) glycol groups.

[0142] A stretcher unit can contain one or more stretcher groups. An example of a stretcher group is, for example, -C 1~10 Alkylene-C(O)-, -C 1~10 Alkylene-C(O)-NH-C 1~10 Alkylene -C(O)-, -(CH2CH2O) u -CH2CH2-C(O)-, -CH[-C 1~10 Alkylene-COOH]-C(O)-,-C 1~10 Alkylene-C(O)-NH-C 1~10 Alkylene-C(O)-NH-C 1~10 Alkylene-C(O)-,-C(O)-C 1~10 Alkylene-C(O)-,-NH-C 1~10 Alkylene -C(=O)-, -NH-(CH2CH2O) u -CH2CH2-C(=O)-, -NH-C 1~10 Alkylene-,-NH-C 1~10 Alkylene-NH-C(O)-C 1~10 Alkylene-,-NH-C 1~10 Alkylene-C(O)-NH-C 1~10 Alkylene-,-NH-(CH2CH2O) u -, -NH-(CH2CH2O) u -CH2-, -NH- (CH2CH2NH) u -(CH2) u -NH-(CH2CH2NH) u -(CH2) u -NH-C(O)-(CH2) uExamples include -NH-(C3-C8 carbocyclo)-, -NH-(arylene)-, and -NH-(C3-C8 heterocyclo)-, where each u is independently between 1 and 10.

[0143] In some embodiments, the cleavable unit (-W w’ -) exists, and if a spacer unit exists, it can connect the conjugator assembly to the spacer unit, and if a spacer unit does not exist, it can connect the conjugator assembly to the drug unit. The connection from the conjugator assembly to the spacer unit or drug unit can be performed directly from the conjugator assembly if a stretcher unit does not exist, or via the stretcher unit if a stretcher unit exists.

[0144] In some embodiments, the cleavable unit is directly conjugated at one end to a conjugator assembly and at the other end to a drug unit. In some embodiments, the cleavable unit is directly conjugated at one end to a stretcher unit and at the other end to a drug unit. In further embodiments, the cleavable unit is directly conjugated at one end to a stretcher unit and at the other end to a spacer unit. In further embodiments, the cleavable unit is directly conjugated at one end to a conjugator assembly and at the other end to a spacer unit. In some embodiments, the stretcher unit and / or spacer unit may not be present.

[0145] A cleavable unit can form a cleavable bond with a drug unit (PA) or a spacer unit. Examples of reactive groups for forming a cleavable bond include a sulfhydryl group for forming a disulfide bond, an aldehyde, ketone, or hydrazine group for forming a hydrazone bond, a carboxyl or amino group for forming a peptide bond, and a carboxyl or hydroxyl group for forming an ester bond.

[0146] Examples of cleavable units include disulfide-containing linkers that can be cleaved through disulfide exchange, acid-unstable linkers at acidic pH, or linkers that can be cleaved by enzymes such as hydrolase, peptidase, esterase, and gluconidase. A cleavable unit may contain one or more cleavage sites.

[0147] In some embodiments, the cleavable unit contains one or more (e.g., 1 to 12) amino acids. Examples of cleavable units include monopeptides, dipeptides, tripeptides, tetrapeptides, pentapeptides, hexapeptides, heptapeptides, octapeptides, nonapeptides, decapeptides, undecapeptides, or dodecapeptides.

[0148] Each amino acid may be a natural or non-natural amino acid, and / or a D-isomer or L-isomer thereof, as long as a cleavable bond is available. In some embodiments, the cleavable unit consists only of natural amino acids. Each amino acid may be a proteinogenic or non-proteinogenic amino acid.

[0149] In some embodiments, each amino acid is independently selected from the group consisting of alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, asparagine, histidine, glycine, glutamic acid, glutamine, phenylalanine, lysine, leucine, serine, tyrosine, threonine, isoleucine, proline, tryptophan, valine, cysteine, methionine, selenocysteine, ornithine, penicillamine, β-alanine, aminoalkanoic acid, aminoalkynic acid, aminoalkanediic acid, aminobenzoic acid, aminoheterocycloalkanoic acid, heterocyclocarboxylic acid, citrulline, statin, diaminoalkanoic acid, and derivatives thereof. In some embodiments, each amino acid is independently selected from the group consisting of alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, asparagine, histidine, glycine, glutamic acid, glutamine, phenylalanine, lysine, leucine, serine, tyrosine, threonine, isoleucine, proline, tryptophan, valine, cysteine, methionine, and selenocysteine.

[0150] In some embodiments, each amino acid is independently selected from the following L-isomers of native amino acids: alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, asparagine, histidine, glycine, glutamic acid, glutamine, phenylalanine, lysine, leucine, serine, tyrosine, threonine, isoleucine, tryptophan, and valine. In some embodiments, each amino acid is the following D-isomer of native amino acids: alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, asparagine, histidine, glycine, glutamic acid, glutamine, phenylalanine, lysine, leucine, serine, tyrosine, threonine, isoleucine, tryptophan, and valine.

[0151] In various embodiments, the cleavable unit is the dipeptide -Val-Cit-, -Phe-Lys-, or -Val-Ala.

[0152] In some embodiments, the cleavable unit comprises one or two terminal amino acids, which are bonded to drug units and / or spacer units via functional groups present at the terminal amino acids, for example, their carboxylic acid or amino terminus.

[0153] In some embodiments, the bond between the cleavable unit and the drug unit can be enzymatically cleaved by one or more enzymes, including tumor-associated proteases, to release the drug unit (-PA), which is protonated in vivo upon release to obtain the drug (PA).

[0154] Useful cleavable units can be designed to optimize selectivity for enzymatic cleavage by specific enzymes (e.g., tumor-associated proteases). In one embodiment, the bond between the cleavable unit and the drug unit or spacer unit is a bond whose cleavage is catalyzed by cathepsin B, C, and / or D, or plasmin proteases.

[0155] In some embodiments, the spacer unit (-Y y’-) exists and extends the framework of the covalent linker. Spacer units can link cleavable units and drug units, or stretcher units and drug units, or conjugator assemblies and drug units. Spacer units may contain one or more self-sacrificing or non-self-sacrificing groups. In some embodiments, spacer units contain one or more self-sacrificing groups. In this context, the term “self-sacrificing group” refers to a bifunctional chemical moiety that can covalently bond two separated chemical moieties together to form a normally stable tripartite molecule. The self-sacrificing group spontaneously separates from the second chemical moiety when the bond with the first moiety is broken. In other embodiments, spacer units are not self-sacrificing. In such embodiments, some or all of the spacer unit remains bonded to the drug unit.

[0156] In some embodiments, -Y y’ - is a self-sacrificing group, which is bonded to the cleavable unit via the methylene carbon atom of the self-sacrificing group, and directly to the drug unit via a carbonate group, carbamate group, or ether group.

[0157] In some embodiments, -Y y’ The hyphen (-) represents a p-aminobenzyl alcohol (PAB) unit (e.g., -NH-(C6H4)-CH2-OC(=O)-). The phenylene portion of the PAB unit is optionally substituted with -C1-C8 alkyl, -O-(C1~C8 alkyl), -halogen, -nitro, or -cyano.

[0158] In some embodiments, -Y y’ - is -NH-C 1~10 Alkylene-O- or -NH-(p-C6H4)-C 1~10 It is alkylene-O-.

[0159] In another embodiment, -Y y’ - represents a carbonate group.

[0160] Other examples of self-sacrificing groups include, but are not limited to, aromatic compounds that are electronically similar to the PAB unit, such as 2-aminoimidazole-5-methanol derivatives (see, e.g., Hay et al., 1999, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 9:2237) and ortho- or para-aminobenzyl acetals. Suitable spacer units include those that undergo cyclization upon amide bond hydrolysis, such as substituted and unsubstituted 4-aminobutyric acid amides (see, e.g., Rodrigues et al., 1995, Chemistry Biology 2:223), appropriately substituted bicyclo[2.2.1] and bicyclo[2.2.2] ring systems (see, e.g., Storm et al., 1972, J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 94:5815), and 2-aminophenylpropionic acid amides (see, e.g., Amsberry et al., 1990, J. Org. Chem. 55:5867). Removal of amine-containing drugs substituted at the α-position of glycine (see, e.g., Kingsbury et al., 1984, J. Med. Chem. 27:1447) is also a suitable example of a self-sacrificing group.

After cooling the reducing mixture to 0–25°C, organic solvents (e.g., DMSO, DMF, DMA, PG, acetonitrile, 0–25% v / v) and conjugator-linker-payload (see Table 2) or conjugator (see Table 1) stock (10–25 equivalents, 10 mM stock in organic solvent) were added stepwise. The conjugation solution was allowed to stand at 0–25°C for 1–3 hours, and the reaction was quenched with N-acetylcysteine ​​(1 mM stock). The buffer solution was replaced with a storage buffer (for example, histidine acetate buffer with a pH of 5.5-6.5 to which optional additives (e.g., sucrose, trehalose, tween® 20, 60, 80) was added) (by spin desalination column, ultrafiltration, and dialysis).

The results are shown in Tables 5 and 6, and Figures 1 to 10. [Table 19]

[0366] [Table 5]

[0367] The results show that the DAR values ​​of all conjugates remained nearly the same as T0 even after incubation for at least 18 hours in GSH buffer (pH 7.4, 22 / 37°C and pH 8.0, 22°C).

[0368] [Table 6]

[0369] The results indicate that the DAR values ​​of all conjugates remained nearly the same as T0 even after incubation in formulation buffer for 168 hours.
