Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2023110584395, filed on August 21, 2023, and this application refers to all of the aforementioned Chinese Patent Application.
[0002] This invention relates to the field of biopharmaceutical technology, and more specifically to antibody-drug conjugates, methods for preparing them, and their applications. [Background technology]
[0003] Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are effective, novel targeted therapies consisting of three parts: an antibody, a linker, and a toxin. The toxin (payload) is the crucial component that exerts the drug's effect, the antibody is the crucial component that exerts the targeting action, while the linker not only connects the two but also influences the ADC's stability, drug release mechanism, and antibody conjugation method. A desirable payload should not only kill target tumor cells but also non-target tumor cells (those without the target antigen), thus exhibiting a bystander effect without causing toxicity to normal cell tissue (those without the target antigen). The desirable linker must be stable in the circulatory system and, upon reaching the tumor microenvironment or tumor cells (endocytosis), release the payload to kill the tumor cells or cells in the tumor microenvironment.
[0004] Exatecan and its derivatives are effective DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors, and have already demonstrated very good efficacy as a payload in the field of HER2-positive tumor treatment. The development of more drug conjugates with antitumor activity using exatecan as a payload is of significant importance. [Overview of the project]

[0038] I. Definition In this invention, unless otherwise specified, the scientific and technical terms used herein have meanings that are generally understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the related terms and laboratory procedures used herein are all widely used terms and common procedures in the relevant fields. In addition, to better understand this invention, definitions and interpretations of related terms are provided below.
[0039] As used herein, unless otherwise stated, the terms “about” or “approximately” mean within 10% of a given value or range. Where an integer is required, the term means rounded up or down to the nearest integer within 10% of a given value or range.
[0040] In this specification, any mention of “some examples,” “some embodiments,” or “some embodiments” refers to a subset of all possible examples, but it should be understood that “some examples” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible examples, and may be combined with each other in a non-contradictory manner.
[0041] As used herein, unless otherwise stated, the terms “include,” “incorporate,” “have,” and “contain” should generally be understood to be open and non-restrictive, including their grammatical equivalents, and not to exclude, for example, other unlisted elements or steps.
[0042] As used herein, the term “alkyl group” means a straight-chain or branched-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group which contains 1 to 20 carbon atoms. 1~6 "Alkyl alkyl group" means a linear or branched alkyl group consisting of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably C 1~4 It is an alkyl group, most preferably C 1~3These are alkyl groups. Specific examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl group, ethyl group, n-propyl group, isopropyl group, n-butyl group, isobutyl group, tert-butyl group, sec-butyl group, n-pentyl group, 1,1-dimethylpropyl group, 1,2-dimethylpropyl group, 2,2-dimethylpropyl group, 1-ethylpropyl group, 2-methylbutyl group, 3-methylbutyl group, n-hexyl group, 1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl group, 1,1,2-trimethylpropyl group, 1,1-dimethylbutyl group, 1,2-dimethylbutyl group, 2,2-dimethylbutyl group, 1,3-dimethylbutyl group, 2-ethylbutyl group, 2-methylpentyl group, 3-methylpentyl group, 4-methylpentyl group, 2,3-dimethylbutyl group, and various branched isomers thereof.
[0043] The term "alkoxy group" refers to -O-(alkyl) and -O-(unsubstituted cycloalkyl), where the definition of alkyl is as described above. Non-limiting examples of alkoxy groups include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, cyclopropoxy, cyclobutoxy, cyclopentyloxy, and cyclohexyloxy groups. Alkoxy groups may be optionally substituted or unsubstituted. If substituted, the substituent is preferably one or more groups independently selected from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino, halogen, mercapto, hydrogen, nitro, chlorine, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkoxy, heterocycloalkoxy, cycloalkylthio, heterocycloalkylthio, carboxyl, or carboxylic acid ester groups.
[0044] [ka] This refers to the linking site of a chemical bond. Note that the structural fragment described in the present invention (e.g., -L) 11 -L 12 -L 13 - or -L z -L j-) unless otherwise specified, represents a combination of the corresponding bases in left-to-right order, for example, -L 12 If - is a C1-C2 alkylene-O-, then the left side of the C1-C2 alkylene-O- is -L. 11 - is connected to -L at the right end. 13 This indicates that it is linked to -.
[0045] In the antibody-drug conjugate of this application, for example, in formula (I), the "-" between the drug-linker fragment and the antibody is intended to represent the linkage relationship between the antibody and the fragment, and is not intended to limit the conjugate to one antibody linked to one drug-linker fragment. As is well known in the art, since a single antibody has multiple interchain disulfide bonds, a single antibody can be linked to one or more drugs.
[0046] As used herein, the term “substituted” means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on a particular atom are substituted with a substituent, and may include deuterium and hydrogen variants, provided that the specific valence is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is an oxo group (i.e., =O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are substituted. Oxo substitution does not occur in aromatic groups. The term “optionally substituted” or “optionally substituted” means that substitution may or may not occur, and unless otherwise specified, the type and number of substituents may be any, provided that they are chemically feasible.
[0047] Although the term "arbitrarily substituted" is not explicitly used, it should be understood that when substitutions occur at any position on a ring (e.g., an antilipid ring or an aromatic ring), the position and number of substitutions can be arbitrary, provided they are chemically feasible.
[0048] As used herein, the term “antibody” is used in its broadest sense and specifically covers monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), antibody fragments or synthetic polypeptides having one or more CDRs or derived from CDR sequences, insofar as they exhibit the required biological activity. Antibodies (Abs) and immunoglobulins (Igs) are glycoproteins having the same structural characteristics. “Antibody” may also mean immunoglobulins and immunoglobulin fragments, and includes any fragments that retain the binding specificity of full-length immunoglobulins, whether naturally occurring or partially or completely synthetically produced (e.g., by recombination), containing at least a portion of the variable region of an immunoglobulin molecule. Thus, an antibody includes any protein having a binding domain homologous or substantially homologous to the immunoglobulin antigen-binding domain (antibody binding site). Antibodies include antibody fragments, e.g., antitumor stem cell antibody fragments. As used herein, the term antibody therefore includes, but is not limited to, synthetic antibodies, recombinant antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), human antibodies, non-human antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, intracellular antibodies, and antibody fragments, such as Fab fragments, Fab' fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, Fv fragments, Fv(dsFv) linked via disulfide bonds, Fd fragments, Fd' fragments, single-chain Fv(scFv), single-chain Fab(scFab), diabodies, anti-idiotype (anti-Id) antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments of any of the above antibodies. Antibodies according to this specification include members of any immunoglobulin type (e.g., IgG, IgM, IgD, IgE, IgA, and IgY), any class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2), or subclass (e.g., IgG2a and IgG2b) (the terms "type" and "class," and "subtype" and "subclass" are interchangeable in this specification). Natural or wild-type (i.e., obtained from population members that have not been artificially manipulated) antibodies and immunoglobulins are generally heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 daltons, consisting of two identical light chains (L) and two identical heavy chains (H).Each heavy chain has a variable domain (VH) at one end, followed by several constant domains. Each light chain has a variable domain (VL) at one end, followed by a constant domain at the other end. "Non-manipulated" means a treatment that is not intended to contain or express a foreign antigen-binding molecule. The wild type may mean the most common allele or type found in a population, or an antibody obtained from an unmanipulated animal compared to the allele or polymorphism, or a variant or derivative obtained from any form of manipulation, such as mutation, recombination, or modification of the amino acids of the antigen-binding molecule.
[0049] As used herein, the term “drug-antibody ratio (DAR)” refers to the average number of payload molecules (antitumor compounds or drugs) attached to a single monoclonal antibody.
[0050] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid substance or liquid filler, diluent, packaging material or auxiliary formulation or any type of excipient that is compatible with patients, most preferably mammals, more preferably humans, and suitable for delivery to target substances without impairing the activity of the active reagent. The drug carriers and excipients of the present invention can better conform to the active ingredient, and the resulting pharmaceutical formulation can have a elution rate, storage stability and impurity content that meets the standards.
[0051] Typically, the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention can be administered in a suitable dosage form with one or more medicinal carriers. These dosage forms are applicable to oral, rectal, topical, orally, and other parenteral administration (e.g., subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, etc.). For example, other dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration include injectable preparations. The above dosage forms can be prepared from the active ingredient of the present invention and one or more carriers or excipients by general pharmaceutical methods. The above carriers must be compatible with the active ingredient of the present invention or other excipients.
[0052] In embodiments of the present invention, the pharmaceutical composition may include any method of administration, such as oral administration, spray inhalation, rectal administration, intranasal administration, transbuccal administration, topical administration, parenteral administration, such as subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intraventricular, intrasternal, and intracranial injection or infusion, or administration using an implantable reservoir. In the case of oral administration, the compound of the present invention may be in any orally acceptable formulation form, including but not limited to tablets, capsules, aqueous solutions, or aqueous suspensions. The carrier used for tablets generally contains lactose and corn starch, and a lubricant, such as magnesium stearate, may also be added. The diluent used for capsule formulations generally contains lactose and dried corn starch. Aqueous suspension formulations are usually used by mixing the active ingredient with a suitable emulsifier and suspending agent. Sweeteners, flavorings, or colorings may be further added to the above oral formulations if necessary. The compound of the present invention may further be administered in the form of a sterile injection formulation, which includes sterile injection water or oil suspension or sterile injection solution. Suitable carriers and solvents include water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Sterilized non-volatile oils, such as monoglycerides or diglycerides, can also be used as solvents or suspension media.
[0053] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are prepared, quantified, and administered in accordance with medical practice standards. The "therapeutic effective dose" of the active ingredient of the present invention is determined by factors such as the specific disease being treated, the individual being treated, the cause of the disease, the target of the drug, and the method of administration.
[0054] As used herein, “therapeutic effective dose” means an amount that can produce function or activity in a patient (e.g., human and / or animal) and is tolerable to humans and / or animals.
[0055] As used herein, “patient” means an animal, most preferably a mammal, and more preferably a human.
[0056] As used herein, “treatment” means reducing, slowing the progression of, attenuating, preventing, or maintaining an existing disease or condition (e.g., cancer). “Treatment” further includes curing, preventing the progression of, or reducing to some extent one or more symptoms of a disease or condition.

When the cell saturation reached 80%-90%, the cells were digested with pancreatin-EDTA, centrifuged, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in PBS. The cell suspension was adjusted to an appropriate concentration, and BXPC-3, NCI-H1975, MDA-MB-231, and KYSE-150 cells (2-10 × 10⁶) were cultured in a monolayer. 6 Cells (0.1 mL) were subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c nude mice, and the growth status of the animals and transplanted tumors was regularly observed. When the tumor volume reached 100-200 mm², 3 Once the tumors had grown to a certain extent, the animals were randomly divided into groups based on tumor volume and body weight, with 6 animals per group. Intravenous injections were administered regularly. Twice a week, the longest diameter a (mm) and shortest diameter b (mm) of the tumor were measured using calipers, and the mouse body weight was also measured. V = 1 / 2 × a × b 2 (mm 3The tumor volume (V) was calculated using the formula ), where a and b represent the length and width of the tumor, respectively.

Three days after the initial administration, blood samples were taken intravenously from each group of cynomolgus monkeys, and on days 19, 42, 56, and 66 of the study, blood samples were taken from the 22 / 35 mg / kg group for hematological and biochemical tests. On day 66 of the study, the 22 / 35 mg / kg group of cynomolgus monkeys were anesthetized and euthanized. After necropsy, organ weights were measured, and bone marrow smears were prepared. Histopathological examinations were performed on the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, ovaries, cervix, testes, inguinal lymph nodes, and administration site (including blood vessels) of each group of cynomolgus monkeys.
[0118] Pharmacokinetics: After a single intravenous infusion of different doses of ADC drugs in cynomolgus monkeys, blood samples were collected at multiple consecutive time points. Blood samples were collected from the upper extremity veins of cynomolgus monkeys in the 22 / 35 mg / kg group before the 1st and 3rd doses, 0.0167 hours after the 2nd dose, and 0.167, 4, 24, 48, 72, 96, 168, and 336 hours after the 1st, 3rd, and 4th doses. The concentration of ADC-TAB in serum was detected by ELISA, and the concentration of low molecular weight toxins in plasma was detected by LC-MS / MS. Toxicity parameters such as AUClast were calculated.
[0119] Toxicity studies: After single intravenous infusions of different doses of ADC drugs into cynomolgus monkeys, animal tolerance and drug-related toxic expressions were examined using multiple methods, including clinical observation, body weight and food intake, hematology, blood biochemistry, urinalysis, and dissection.
[0120] Test results: During the study period, the general condition of the cynomolgus monkeys was good, their spontaneous activity was normal, and no obvious toxic reactions were observed. During the administration period, there were no obvious abnormal changes in the food intake of male and female cynomolgus monkeys in the 22 / 35 mg / kg groups. There were no abnormalities in the body weight of the cynomolgus monkeys after two consecutive doses at 22 mg / kg. There were no obvious changes in the body weight of the cynomolgus monkeys after two consecutive doses at an increased dose of 35 mg / kg. Three to four days after the first dose, the food intake and body weight of the cynomolgus monkeys in the 60 mg / kg group decreased slightly.
[0121] During the study period, no significant abnormal changes were observed in the blood biochemical indicators of female and male cynomolgus monkeys in each group at each detection point.
[0122] Pharmacokinetics: After a single intravenous infusion of ADC into cynomolgus monkeys, the ADC remained stable in the monkeys' blood (see Figure 16), the concentration of free toxin was extremely low (see Figure 17), and the ADC was slowly released in the monkeys, indicating a stable conjugation mechanism.
[0123] Toxicity Report: After a single intravenous infusion of ADC in cynomolgus monkeys, the animals demonstrated good tolerance, no severe or intolerable drug-related toxicity occurred, indicating that the safety of ADC is controllable and can support further clinical research.
[0124] 2. Consideration of organs and pharmacokinetic parameters that may cause toxicity due to repeated administration. In toxicity studies in which the test substance was intravenously injected once every three weeks for six consecutive weeks (a total of three times) into cynomolgus monkeys, the properties, degree, dose-response, temporal relationship, and reversibility of the test substance that could cause toxic reactions were observed. This allowed for the identification of toxic target organs or tissues, as well as the study of its toxic kinetic characteristics. The study also investigated the effects on the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, respiratory function, and injection site, providing information for the safety of clinical use.
[0125] Test method: This study included four groups: a control group (ADC5 buffer solution) and groups receiving ADC5 at 9, 18, and 36 mg / kg. Each group consisted of 10 cynomolgus monkeys, with an equal number of males and females. Each group received either the control product (ADC5 buffer solution) or the corresponding concentration of ADC5 intravenously at a volume of 5 mL / kg. The monkeys were administered once every three weeks for six consecutive weeks, for a total of three doses, followed by a six-week recovery period. The day of the first dose was day 1 of the administration period, and the day after the last dose was day 1 of the recovery period.
[0126] Blood samples were collected from each group of cynomolgus monkeys at the time of the first dose, before the final dose, immediately after the end of the dose (0-2 minutes after the end of the dose), and at 4, 8, 24, 48, 72, 96, 168, 240, 336, and 504 hours after the end of the dose, and at 672 hours after the end of the final dose. The concentrations of ADC-TAB (total antibody) and ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) in the monkey serum at each time point were detected by ELISA, and the concentration of free toxins in the cynomolgus monkey plasma at each time point was detected by LC-MS / MS, and toxicity parameters such as AUC were calculated.
[0127] Test results: During the administration period, some female and male cynomolgus monkeys in the 18 and 36 mg / kg groups showed a decrease in food intake. In addition, no significant abnormal changes were observed in the food intake of female and male cynomolgus monkeys in the 9 mg / kg group or in the body weight of female and male cynomolgus monkeys in each group of ADC5 during the administration and recovery periods.
[0128] No arrhythmias were observed in the lead II electrocardiograms of female and male cynomolgus monkeys in each group of ADC5 at 4-5, 24, 72, 168, 336, and 504 hours after the first dose, 4 hours after the final dose, and after the recovery period. No obvious abnormalities were found in lead II electrocardiogram indicators such as heart rate, P wave duration, PR interval, QRS wave duration, QT interval, RR interval, and calibration QT interval, as well as in blood pressure and respiratory detection-related indicators. No obvious abnormalities were found in various blood biochemical indicators, urinary indicators, lymphocytes, cytokines, bone marrow smears, organs, etc.
[0129] Pharmacokinetics: Under these study conditions, cynomolgus monkeys were intravenously injected with 9, 18, and 36 mg / kg of ADC5 once every three weeks for six consecutive weeks (a total of three injections), followed by a six-week rest period. ADC5 was stable in the blood of cynomolgus monkeys (see Figure 18), the concentration of free toxin was extremely low (see Figure 19), and ADC was released slowly in cynomolgus monkeys, indicating a stable conjugation pattern that supports a clinical Q3W administration plan.
[0130] Toxicity Report: After repeated intravenous infusions of ADC in cynomolgus monkeys, the animals showed good tolerance, with any mild symptoms such as occasional food depletion resolving, and no severe or intolerant drug-related toxicity occurring. This indicates that the safety of ADC is controllable and supports further clinical research.
