[0089] While we do not wish to be bound by theory, the compounds of this disclosure are thought to have relatively good solubility and potency (in vitro growth inhibition and / or in vivo tumor growth inhibition) compared to camptothecin. While we do not wish to be bound by theory, the ADCs of this disclosure are thought to exhibit relatively low aggregation and provide a relatively good payload release rate. Furthermore, the structure is thought to provide metabolic pathways to reduce systemic toxicity of the payload after release into the circulatory system.

[0090] Furthermore, and naturally, for clarity, certain features of the invention described in the context of separate embodiments may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment (the embodiments are intended to be combined as if they were written in multiple dependent forms). Conversely, for brevity, various features of the invention described in the context of a single embodiment may also be provided separately or in any preferred partial combination. Thus, it is intended that the features described as embodiments of the compounds of this disclosure may be combined in any suitable combination.

[0091] In various parts of this specification, specific characteristics of compounds are disclosed in groups or ranges. Such disclosures are particularly intended to include each and all of the individual partial combinations of members of such groups and ranges. For example, "C 1-6 The term "alkyl" is specifically intended to disclose methyl, ethyl, C3 alkyl, C4 alkyl, C5 alkyl, and C6 alkyl individually (non-limitingly).

[0092] Variables defining divalent linking groups may be described in various places in this specification. Each linking substituent is particularly intended to include both forward and backward forms of the linking substituent. For example, -NR(CR'R'') n - is -NR(CR'R'') n -and-(CR'R'') nThis includes both NR- and intends to disclose each form individually. If a structure requires a linking group, the Markush variables listed for that group are understood to be linking groups. For example, if a structure requires a linking group and the definition of the Markush group for that variable lists "alkyl" or "aryl," then "alkyl" or "aryl" are understood to represent a linked alkylene group or an arylene group, respectively.

[0093] The term "substitution" means that an atom or group of atoms formally replaces a hydrogen atom as a "substituent" bonded to another group. Unless otherwise indicated, the term "substitution" refers to any level of substitution, e.g., monosubstituted, disubstituted, trisubstituted, tetrasubstituted, or pentasubstituted (if such substitutions are permitted). Substituents are independently selected, and substitutions may be at any chemically accessible position. It should be understood that substitutions at a given atom are limited by their valence. It should be understood that substitutions at a given atom result in a chemically stable molecule. The phrase "optionally substituted" means either non-substituted or substituted. The term "substitution" means that a hydrogen atom is removed and replaced by a substituent. A single divalent substituent, e.g., oxo, can substitute for two hydrogen atoms.

[0094] "C n-m The term "x" indicates a range that includes the endpoint, and in the formula, n and m are integers representing the number of carbon atoms. For example, C 1-4 , C 1-6 These are some examples.

[0095] The term "alkyl," used alone or in combination with other terms, refers to a saturated hydrocarbon group that may be linear or branched. n-mThe term "alkyl" refers to an alkyl group having n to m carbon atoms. An alkyl group formally corresponds to an alkane having one CH bond replaced by the alkyl group bond site to the rest of the compound. In some embodiments, the alkyl group contains 1 to 6 carbon atoms, 1 to 4 carbon atoms, 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or 1 to 2 carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl moieties include, but are not limited to, chemical groups such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, tert-butyl, isobutyl, and sec-butyl, and higher homologs such as 2-methyl-1-butyl, n-pentyl, 3-pentyl, n-hexyl, and 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl.

[0096] When used alone or in combination with other terms, the term "alkylene" refers to a divalent alkyl linking group. The alkylene group formally corresponds to alkanes having two CH bonds replaced by the alkylene group's bonding sites to the rest of the compound. n-m The term "alkylene" refers to an alkylene group having n to m carbon atoms. Examples of alkylene groups include, but are not limited to, ethane-1,2-diyl, ethane-1,1-diyl, propane-1,3-diyl, propane-1,2-diyl, propane-1,1-diyl, butane-1,4-diyl, butane-1,3-diyl, butane-1,2-diyl, and 2-methylpropane-1,3-diyl.

[0097] When used alone or in combination with other terms, the term "alkoxy" refers to a group of the formula -O-alkyl, where alkyl is as defined above. n-m The term "alkoxy" refers to an alkoxy group, whose alkyl group has n to m carbon atoms. Examples of alkoxy groups include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy (e.g., n-propoxy and isopropoxy), and t-butoxy. In some embodiments, the alkyl group has 1 to 6, 1 to 4, or 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

[0098] The compounds described herein may be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). Unless otherwise indicated, all stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended. Compounds of the present invention containing asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods for preparing optically active forms from optically inert starting materials are known in the art, such as by racemic decomposition or stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers, such as olefins and C=N double bonds, can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are intended in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and may be isolated as mixtures of isomers or as separate isomeric forms.

[0099] The separation of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried out by any of a number of methods known in the art. One method involves fractional recrystallization using chiral dividing acids, which are optically active salt-forming organic acids. Suitable dividing agents for fractional recrystallization are optically active acids such as tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, and the D and L forms of lactic acid, or various optically active camphorsulfonic acids such as β-camphorsulfonic acid. Other suitable dividing agents for fractional crystallization include stereoisomerically pure forms of α-methylbenzylamine (e.g., S and R forms, or diastereomerically pure forms), 2-phenylglycinol, norephedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine, cyclohexylethylamine, and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane.

[0100] The separation of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by elution using a column packed with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). A suitable elution solvent composition can be determined by those skilled in the art.

[0101] In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention have an (R) configuration. In other embodiments, the compounds have an (S) configuration. In compounds having multiple chiral centers, each of the chiral centers in the compound may independently be (R) or (S) unless otherwise indicated.

[0102] The compounds of the present invention also include tautomers. Tautomers arise from the exchange of a single bond with an adjacent double bond, along with the simultaneous transfer of protons. Tautomers include prototropic tautomers, which are isomeric protonated states having the same empirical formula and total charge. Examples of prototropic tautomers include ketone-enol pairs, amide-imoid acid pairs, lactam-lactim pairs, enamine-imine pairs, and cyclic forms in which protons can occupy two or more positions in a heterocyclic system, such as 1H- and 3H-imidazoles, 1H-, 2H- and 4H-1,2,4-triazoles, 1H- and 2H-isoindoles, and 1H- and 2H-pyrazoles. Tautomers may be in equilibrium or sterically fixed into a single form by appropriate substitution.

[0103] The compounds of the present invention may also contain all isotopes of an atom that occurs in the intermediate or final compound. An isotope is an atom that has the same atomic number but a different mass number. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium. One or more constituent atoms of the compounds of the present invention may be replaced or substituted by an isotope of an atom in natural or unnatural abundance. In some embodiments, the compound contains at least one deuterium atom. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in the compounds of the present disclosure may be replaced or substituted by deuterium. In some embodiments, the compound contains two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compound contains 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 deuterium atoms. Methods for synthesizing organic compounds containing isotopes are known in the art (Deuterium Labeling in Organic Chemistry by Alan F. Thomas (New York, NY, Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1971; The Renaissance of H / D Exchange by Jens Atzrodt, Volker Derdau, Thorsten Fey and Jochen Zimmermann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 7744-7765). Isotope-labeled compounds can be used in a variety of tests, such as NMR spectroscopy, metabolic experiments, and / or assays.

[0104] Substitution with heavier isotopes, such as deuterium, may result in certain therapeutic benefits stemming from greater metabolic stability, such as increased in vivo half-life or reduced drug requirements, and may therefore be preferable in some situations. (A. Kerekes et.al. J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54, 201-210; R. Xu et.al. J. Label Compd. Radiopharm. 2015, 58, 308-312).

[0105] As used herein, the term “compound” means all stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers, and isotopes of the illustrated structure. The term is also intended to refer to the compounds of the present invention, regardless of how they are prepared (e.g., synthetically, via biological processes (e.g., metabolism or enzymatic transformation), or a combination thereof).

[0106] All compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be found together with other substances such as water and solvents (e.g., hydrates and solvates), or they may be isolated. When in a solid state, the compounds and salts described herein may occur in various forms, for example, in the form of solvates containing hydrates. Since the compounds may be in any solid form, such as polymorphs or solvates, unless otherwise explicitly indicated, references herein to compounds and salts should be understood to encompass any solid form of the compounds.

[0107] In some embodiments, the compounds of the Disclosure or salts thereof are substantially isolated. "Substantially isolated" means that the compound is separated at least partially or substantially from the environment in which it was formed or detected.

[0120] Formulations, dosage forms, and administration When used as a pharmaceutical, the compounds of this disclosure can be administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition. Accordingly, this disclosure provides compositions comprising any compound of formula (I'), (I), (Ia'), (Ia), (Ib'), (Ib), (II'), (II), (IIa'), (IIa), (III'), (III), (IIIa'), and (IIIa) or any of the formulas described herein, any of the compounds described herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or any of the embodiments thereof, and compositions comprising at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. The compositions can be prepared in ways well known in the pharmaceutical art and can be administered by various routes, depending on whether topical or systemic treatment is indicated and depending on the area being treated. Administration may be topical (including transdermal, epidermal, and ocular, as well as to mucous membranes including intranasal, intravaginal, and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or blowing of powder or aerosol by nebulizer, etc., intratracheal or intranasal), oral, or parenteral. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, intra-abdominal, intramuscular, injection, or infusion, or intracranial administration, such as in the subarachnoid space or ventricle. Parenteral administration may be in the form of a single bolus dose, or, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, infusions, suppositories, sprays, liquids, and powders.

[0121] The present invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions containing, as an active ingredient, one of the compounds of the present disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. In some embodiments, the compositions are suitable for topical administration. When preparing the compositions of the present disclosure, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by the excipient, or encapsulated in such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, pouch, paper, or other container. If the excipient functions as a diluent, it may be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material acting as a vehicle, carrier, or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions may be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, pouches, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as solid or in a liquid medium), for example, ointments, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injection solutions, and sterile packaging powders containing up to 10% by weight of the active compound.

[0122] When preparing a formulation, the active compound can be ground to provide an appropriate particle size before combining it with other components. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be ground to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water-soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by grinding to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, for example, about 40 mesh.

[0123] The compounds of the present invention may be ground using known grinding procedures, such as wet grinding, to obtain particle sizes suitable for tablet formation and other formulation types. Finely divided (nanoparticle) preparations of the compounds of the present invention may be prepared by processes known in the art (see, for example, WO2002 / 000196).

[0124] Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, acacia gum, calcium phosphate, alginate, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methylcellulose. The formulation may further contain lubricants, wetting agents, emulsifiers and suspending agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil, preservatives such as methyl and propyl hydroxybenzoates, sweeteners, and flavoring agents. The compositions of the present invention can be formulated to provide rapid, sustained, or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to a patient by employing procedures known in the art.

[0125] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises silicified microcrystalline cellulose (SMCC) and at least one compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the silicified microcrystalline cellulose comprises about 98% microcrystalline cellulose and about 2% silicon dioxide w / w.

[0126] In some embodiments, the composition is a sustained-release composition comprising at least one compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. In some embodiments, the composition comprises at least one compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as well as at least one component selected from microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and polyethylene oxide. In some embodiments, the composition comprises at least one compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as well as microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. In some embodiments, the composition comprises at least one compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as well as microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, and polyethylene oxide. In some embodiments, the composition further comprises magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide. In some embodiments, the microcrystalline cellulose is Avicel PH102®. In some embodiments, the lactose monohydrate is Fast-flo 316®. In some embodiments, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2208K4M (e.g., Methocel K4 M Premier®) and / or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2208 K100LV (e.g., Methocel K00LV®). In some embodiments, polyethylene oxide is polyethylene oxide WSR 1105 (e.g., Polyox WSR 1105®).

[0127] In some embodiments, a wet granulation process is used to produce the composition. In some embodiments, a dry granulation process is used to produce the composition.

[0128] The composition can be formulated in unit dosage forms, each containing approximately 5 to approximately 1,000 mg (1 g). The term "unit dosage form" refers to a physically distinct unit suitable as a unit dose for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined amount of active substance calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in conjunction with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[0129] The components used to formulate pharmaceutical compositions may be of high purity and substantially free from potentially harmful contaminants (e.g., at least national food grade, or equivalent standards in another country, generally at least analytical grade, more typically at least pharmaceutical grade). For example, a suitable formulation may be sterile and / or substantially isotonic and / or fully compliant with the regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Good Manufacturing Practices for all pharmaceuticals, or equivalent standards in another country.

[0130] Active compounds can be effective across a wide range of doses and are generally administered at therapeutically effective doses. However, it should be understood that the actual amount of compound administered is usually determined by a physician, depending on the condition being treated, the chosen route of administration, the specific compound being administered, the individual patient's age, weight, and response, and the severity of the patient's symptoms.

[0131] The therapeutic dose of the compounds of the present invention may vary, for example, according to the specific use in which the treatment is performed, the method of administering the compound, the patient's health status and condition, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of the compounds of the present invention in a pharmaceutical composition may vary depending on a number of factors, including the dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and route of administration. For example, the compounds of the present invention may be provided in a physiologically buffered aqueous solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w / v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dosage ranges are about 1 μg / kg to about 1 g / kg of body weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on variables such as the type and progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the selected compound, the formulation of the excipients, and its route of administration. The effective dose can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

[0132] To prepare solid compositions such as tablets, the main active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient to form a solid pre-formulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of the compounds of the present invention. When these pre-formulation compositions are referred to as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically uniformly dispersed throughout the composition so that the composition can be easily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, and capsules. This solid pre-formulation is then subdivided into the above-described unit dosage forms, for example, containing about 0.1 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention.

[0133] The tablets or pills of the present invention can be coated or otherwise formulated to provide a dosage form that offers the benefit of long-lasting action. For example, the tablets or pills may contain an internal dose component and an external dose component, the latter in the form of an envelope covering the former. The two components may be separated by an enteric coating that functions to resist disintegration in the stomach and allow the internal component to enter the duodenum intact or to delay its release. Various materials can be used for such enteric coatings or coatings, and such materials include numerous polymer acids, as well as mixtures of polymer acids with materials such as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

[0134] Liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for oral or injectable administration include aqueous solutions, preferably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions containing edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

[0135] Compositions for inhalation or inhalation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, as well as powders. Liquid or solid compositions may contain the appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable excipients described above. In some embodiments, compositions are administered orally or via nasal respiratory routes for topical or systemic effects. Compositions may be sprayed using an inert gas. The sprayed solution may be inhaled directly from the spraying device, or the spraying device may be attached to a face mask, tent, or intermittent positive pressure respirator. Solutions, suspensions, or powder compositions may be administered orally or nasally from a device that delivers the formulation in an appropriate manner.

[0136] Topical formulations may contain one or more conventional carriers. In some embodiments, ointments may contain water and one or more hydrophobic carriers selected from, for example, liquid paraffin, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, propylene glycol, white petrolatum, etc. The carrier composition of creams may be water-based in combination with glycerol and one or more other components, for example, glyceryl monostearate, PEG-glyceryl monostearate, and cetyl stearyl alcohol. Gels may be formulated using isopropyl alcohol and water, preferably in combination with other components such as glycerol, hydroxyethylcellulose, etc. In some embodiments, topical formulations contain at least about 0.1, at least about 0.25, at least about 0.5, at least about 1, at least about 2, or at least about 5% by weight of the compound of the present invention. Topical formulations may be preferably packaged in, for example, 100 g tubes, which may be optionally associated with instructions for selective indications, for example, for the treatment of psoriasis or other skin conditions.

[0137] The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient varies depending on the substance being administered, the purpose of administration (e.g., prevention or therapy), the patient's condition, and the method of administration. For therapeutic purposes, a composition may be administered to a patient already suffering from the disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially cessate the symptoms of the disease and its complications. The effective dose depends on the judgment of the attending physician, taking into account factors such as the disease condition being treated, the severity of the disease, the patient's age, weight, and overall health.

[0138] The compositions administered to the patient may be in the form of the pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques or by sterile filtration. Aqueous solutions may be packaged for immediate use or lyophilized, and the lyophilized preparations are combined with a sterile aqueous carrier before administration. The pH of the prepared preparations is typically 3 to 11, more preferably 5 to 9, and most preferably 7 to 8. It will be understood that the use of certain aforementioned excipients, carriers, or stabilizers results in the formation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[0139] The therapeutic dose of the compound of the present invention may vary, for example, according to the specific use in which the treatment is performed, the method of administering the compound, the patient's health status and condition, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of the compound of the present invention in a pharmaceutical composition may vary depending on a number of factors, including the dose, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and route of administration. For example, the compound of the present invention may be provided in a physiologically buffered aqueous solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w / v of the compound for parenteral administration. The dose is likely to depend on variables such as the type and progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the selected compound, the formulation of the excipients, and its route of administration. The effective dose can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.
