Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a hemiasterlin derivative, an antibody-drug conjugate thereof, and a synthetic intermediate for the antibody-drug conjugate. [Background technology]
[0002] Hemiasterlin is a natural compound having a tripeptide structure isolated from a marine sponge, and is involved in microtubule depolymerization and mitotic arrest in cells (Non-Patent Document 1).
[0003] To date, several groups have modified the structure of hemiasterlin derivatives and reported structure-activity relationships (Patent Documents 1 to 5, Non-Patent Documents 2 to 5). Hemiasterlin derivatives that exhibit strong cytotoxicity (cytotoxicity) based on antimitotic activity have been found for the treatment of diseases such as cancer. However, it has been reported that these hemiasterlin derivatives exhibit cytotoxicity not only to target cells but also to normal cells, causing side effects (Non-Patent Document 6).
[0004] In addition, antibody-drug conjugates containing hemiasterlin derivatives that exhibit cytotoxic activity in antigen-expressing cells have been reported (Patent Documents 4, 6 to 9). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0063] <Hemiasterlin derivatives> The compound represented by formula (1) or formula (1a) or a salt thereof (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "hemiasterlin derivative of the present invention") is as follows. [ka]
[0064] AA is a glutamic acid residue, an aspartic acid residue, a lysine residue, a cysteine residue, a phosphotyrosine residue, a phosphoserine residue, or a cysteic acid residue, or 1-6 It represents an alkyl ester.
[0065] In this specification, unless otherwise necessary, the following three-letter abbreviations may be used to represent both α-amino acids and the corresponding amino acid residues. In addition, the optical activity of α-amino acids may include any of DL-, D-, or L-isomers unless otherwise specified. For example, "glutamic acid" or "Glu" represents DL-glutamic acid or a residue thereof, D-glutamic acid or a residue thereof, or L-glutamic acid or a residue thereof. Ala…alanine, Arg…arginine, Asn…asparagine, Asp…aspartic acid, Cit…citrulline, Cys…cysteine, Gln…glutamine, Glu…glutamic acid, Gly…glycine, His…histidine, Ile…isoleucine, Leu…leucine, Lys…lysine, Met…methionine, Phe…phenylalanine, Pro…proline, Ser…serine, Trp…tryptophan, Thr…threonine, Tyr…tyrosine, Val…valine
[0066] When AA is an amino acid residue, the hemiasterlin derivative contains a given amino acid residue: (AA) m Having this structure, cell membrane permeability is reduced, and even if free hemiasterlin derivatives are present in the blood, they are less likely to be taken up by cells, thereby suppressing cytotoxicity to normal cells.
[0067] The amino acid residue AA is preferably Glu or Asp, more specifically, D-Glu, L-Glu, D-Asp or L-Asp. When there are multiple AA, each AA may be the same or different.
[0068] On the other hand, AA is the amino acid residue C 1-6 When the hemiasterlin derivative is an alkyl ester, the cell membrane permeability of the derivative is higher than when AA is an amino acid residue. However, when administered as a drug, the ester bond is quickly hydrolyzed by enzymes such as esterases present in the blood. Therefore, the C of a specific amino acid residue 1-6 Contains alkyl esters (AA) mThe hemiasterlin derivative having the structure contains a specific amino acid residue (AA) in blood. m Since it becomes a hemiasterlin derivative having the structure, its cell membrane permeability is reduced, and cytotoxicity to normal cells is suppressed.

[ka] (In the formula, mAb, Z, Y', h and q are as defined above.)
[0141] In general, antibody-drug conjugates can be produced and analyzed by any method known to those skilled in the art, such as those described in Antibody-Drug Conjugates (edited by Laurent Ducry, published by Humana Press, 2013).
[0142] The antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention can be formed, for example, by reducing disulfide bonds in an antibody to sulfhydryl groups and reacting the sulfhydryl groups with an ADC intermediate, which is obtained by binding a linker compound containing a maleimide group to a hemiasterlin derivative.
[0143] It is assumed that the antibody-drug conjugate is specifically delivered to a specific antigen-expressing cell by intracellular uptake utilizing the antibody-antigen reaction, and then the drug moiety is released by the above-mentioned mechanism, thereby exerting its medicinal effect only in the specific cell. Since the antibody-drug conjugate can be specifically taken up by cancer cells, it is expected to exert a strong medicinal effect on cancer cells.
[0144] On the one hand, it is considered that the antibody-drug conjugate may be decomposed by proteases and the like contained in the blood before being delivered to the target cells, and the drug moiety may be released in the blood. In that case, in the case of the conventional antibody-drug conjugate, since the cell membrane permeability of the drug moiety is high, the drug released into the blood is also passively diffused into and taken up by normal cells. Therefore, it results in unintended systemic exposure and is likely to cause side effects, which is not preferable.
[0145] On the other hand, since the drug moiety of the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention has low cell membrane permeability, even if the drug moiety is released in the blood before reaching the target cells, the drug is less likely to be passively diffused into normal cells and is rapidly metabolized and excreted. Therefore, it can be expected that there are few side effects due to systemic exposure.
[0146] Furthermore, when a compound with low membrane permeability is used as the drug moiety, the drug moiety released in the target cells can be suppressed from flowing out of the cells through the cell membrane. Therefore, it is expected that the drug can stay in the target cells for a long time and exhibit good drug efficacy.
[0147] That is, since the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention has a hemiasterlin derivative with low cell membrane permeability as the drug moiety, it is expected to exhibit drug efficacy specifically against cancer cells and have little effect on normal cells and high safety.

Specifically, for example, in the diastereomeric method, two diastereomers are formed from a racemate by a reaction using an optically active resolving agent. These different diastereomers generally have different physical properties, and can therefore be optically resolved by known methods such as fractional crystallization.

[0344] The appropriate solvent used in each step of the above-mentioned production methods should be selected appropriately depending on the type of reaction and raw material compound, and examples of the solvent include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, etc.; ketones such as acetone, methyl ketone, etc.; halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, chloroform, etc.; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, etc.; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, benzene, etc.; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, etc.; esters such as ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, etc.; amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, etc.; sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), etc.; nitriles such as acetonitrile, etc.; distilled water, etc., and these solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0345] The hemiasterlin derivative, antibody-drug conjugate, and ADC intermediate of the present invention can be separated and purified by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as extraction, distribution, reprecipitation, column chromatography (e.g., silica gel column chromatography, ion exchange column chromatography, or preparative liquid chromatography), or recrystallization.
[0346] Examples of recrystallization solvents that can be used include alcohol-based solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol; ether-based solvents such as diethyl ether; ester-based solvents such as ethyl acetate; aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvents such as benzene and toluene; ketone-based solvents such as acetone; halogen-based solvents such as dichloromethane and chloroform; hydrocarbon-based solvents such as hexane; aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide, acetonitrile; water; or a mixture of these solvents.
[0347] Other purification methods that can be used include the methods described in Experimental Chemistry Lectures (edited by the Chemical Society of Japan, Maruzen), Vol. 1, etc. In addition, the molecular structures of the hemiasterlin derivatives, antibody-drug conjugates, and ADC intermediates of the present invention can be easily determined by spectroscopic methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopy, or mass spectrometry, with reference to the structures derived from the respective raw material compounds.
[0348] In addition, the intermediate or final product in the above-mentioned production method can be led to another compound included in the present invention by appropriately converting its functional group, particularly by extending various side chains using amino groups, hydroxyl groups, carbonyl groups, halogen atoms, etc. as a foothold, and by protecting and deprotecting the functional groups as necessary. The conversion of functional groups and the extension of side chains can be carried out by a commonly used general method (see, for example, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, RC Larock, John Wiley & Sons Inc. (1999), etc.).
[0349] The hemiasterlin derivative, antibody-drug conjugate, and ADC intermediate of the present invention may have asymmetry or a substituent with an asymmetric carbon, and such compounds have optical isomers. Optical isomers can be produced according to a conventional method. Examples of the production method include a method using a raw material with an asymmetric center or a method introducing asymmetry at an intermediate stage. For example, in the case of optical isomers, optical isomers can be obtained by using optically active raw materials or by performing optical resolution at an appropriate stage of the production process. For example, when the hemiasterlin derivative of the present invention or an intermediate thereof has a basic functional group, the optical resolution method includes a diastereomeric method in which a salt is formed using an optically active acid (e.g., monocarboxylic acid such as mandelic acid, N-benzyloxyalanine, lactic acid, etc.; dicarboxylic acid such as tartaric acid, o-diisopropylidene tartaric acid, malic acid, etc.; sulfonic acid such as camphorsulfonic acid, bromocamphorsulfonic acid, etc.) in an inert solvent (e.g., alcoholic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, etc.; ether solvents such as diethyl ether; ester solvents such as ethyl acetate; hydrocarbon solvents such as toluene; aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile; or a mixed solvent of two or more of the above solvents). When the hemiasterlin derivative, antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC intermediate of the present invention has an acidic functional group such as a carboxyl group, an optically active amine (e.g., organic amines such as 1-phenylethylamine, quinine, quinidine, cinchonidine, cinchonine, strychnine, etc.) is used to form a salt, and optical resolution can also be performed.
[0350] The temperature at which the salt is formed may range from -50°C to the boiling point of the solvent, preferably from 0°C to the boiling point, more preferably from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent. In order to improve the optical purity, it is desirable to once raise the temperature to near the boiling point of the solvent. When filtering out the precipitated salt, the yield can be improved by cooling as necessary. The amount of the optically active acid or amine used may range from about 0.5 to about 2.0 equivalents relative to the substrate, preferably about 1 equivalent. If necessary, the crystals may be recrystallized in an inert solvent (e.g., alcohol-based solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol; ether-based solvents such as diethyl ether; ester-based solvents such as ethyl acetate; hydrocarbon-based solvents such as toluene; aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile; or a mixed solvent of two or more of the above solvents) to obtain a high-purity optically active salt. If necessary, the optically resolved salt may be treated with an acid or base by a conventional method to obtain a free form.

[0416] Reference examples 12~15 The peptides shown in the table below were synthesized by solid-phase synthesis using the Fmoc method, starting from Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-Alko-PEG resin (1.00 g, Watanabe Chemical; 0.23 mmol / g, 0.23 mmol). The Fmoc method can be performed by the method described in Fundamentals and Experiments of Peptide Synthesis (by Nobuo Izumiya, Tetsuo Kato, Haruhiko Aoyagi, and Michinori Waki, published by Maruzen Co., Ltd., 1985). For solid-phase synthesis, a CS336X peptide synthesizer manufactured by CS Bio was used. The Fmoc group was deprotected by treating with a 20% piperidine solution in DMF for 25 minutes. The coupling reaction for peptide synthesis was carried out by reacting a DMF solution of Fmoc-protected amino acid (1.05 mmol), O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N'N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (1 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (2 mmol) with the amino acid or peptide (0.23 mmol) on the resin for 1 hour. The resulting resin was washed with DMF and ether and then dried under reduced pressure to obtain a peptide resin. A mixture (10 mL) of TFA / water / triisopropylsilane (volume ratio: 95 / 2.5 / 2.5) was added to this peptide resin and shaken at room temperature for 2 hours. After filtering off the resin, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The reaction solution was cooled on ice and diethyl ether (50 mL) was added. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether, and then dried under reduced pressure to obtain a crude peptide. The resulting crude peptide was dissolved in a mixture of 20% aqueous acetic acid and acetonitrile (volume ratio 1 / 1) and purified by reverse-phase HPLC (mobile phase: 0.1% v / v TFA in water and 0.035% v / v TFA in acetonitrile) to obtain the peptides shown in the table below.

[0505] The antibodies used in the example ADCs are either commercially available or can be prepared according to the references shown in the table below. [Table 33]
[0506] Example ADC1 Brentuximab-Example M2 Complex (mean DAR: 7.41) [ka] To a phosphate buffered saline solution (3.77 mL, pH 7.4) of brentuximab (91 mg), 1 mmol / L tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) in trishydroxymethylaminomethane hydrochloride buffer (12.2 mL, pH 7.5) was added, and incubated at 37°C for 45 minutes. The antibody solution was cooled to 0°C, and then treated with a PD-10 desalting column pre-equilibrated with phosphate buffered saline solution (pH 7.4) to obtain a phosphate buffered saline solution (pH 7.4) of reduced anti-CD30 antibody (brentuximab). After cooling to 0°C, a 1 mmol / L DMSO solution of Example M2 (12.2 mL), diluted 10-fold with phosphate buffered saline solution (pH 7.4), was added as a modifying agent, thoroughly mixed, and incubated at 4°C for 16 hours. The mixture was then purified using a PD-10 desalting column pre-equilibrated with a phosphate buffered saline solution (pH 7.4), and then concentrated by centrifugation to obtain Example ADC1 (78.2 mg).
[0507] The average DAR of the obtained ADC was measured by reducing or non-reducing SDS-PAGE or HPLC-HIC. The average DAR can also be qualitatively or quantitatively measured by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), reducing or non-reducing SDS-PAGE, HPLC-HIC, SEC, RP-HPLC, LC-MS, etc. These methods are described in Antibody Drug Conjugates, Methods in Molecular Biology vol.1045,2013.pp267-284.L.Ducry,Ed.
[0508] When the average drug-antibody ratio of an ADC prepared from a human IgG1 antibody is 8, the production of the ADC can also be estimated from the results of reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE. Specifically, when the example ADC is subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis under disulfide non-reducing conditions using SeeBlue (registered trademark) Plus2 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as a marker, if bands at molecular weights of about 50 kDa and 25 kDa are strongly detected, this indicates that the modifying agent has been conjugated to cysteine residues involved in the disulfide bonds between the light and heavy chains of the antibody and in the hinge, i.e., it means that an ADC with an average drug-antibody ratio of 8 has been obtained.
[0509] The average DAR of Example ADC1 determined by HPLC-HIC analysis was 7.41.
[0510] Example ADC2 Brentuximab-Example M2 Complex (mean DAR: 3.76) [ka] In the protocol of Example ADC1, the DAR of ADC can be adjusted by changing the amount of TCEP or modifying agent added. Example ADC2 was obtained by using 4 equimolar amounts of TCEP according to the protocol of Example ADC1.
[0511] Examples ADC3 to 22 The corresponding antibodies and modifying agents were used and reacted and treated in the same manner as in Example ADC1 to obtain the ADCs shown in the following Table 34. The average DAR of these ADCs was calculated or estimated from UV-Vis, HPLC-HIC, or SDS-PAGE analysis in the same manner as in Example ADC1. [ka] [Table 34]
[0512] Examples ADC23 to 39 The corresponding antibody and modifying agent (the compound of the Example) were reacted and treated in the same manner as in Example ADC1 to obtain the Example ADC shown in the table below. [Table 35]
[0513] The Rt(min) of the ADC of the examples in the above table is that of the peak of the ADC with a DAR of 8 observed by HPLC-HIC analysis (measurement condition H).
[0514] Test Example Below, pharmacological test results for specific examples of the hemiasterlin derivatives, antibody-drug conjugates, and ADC intermediates of the present invention are shown and their pharmacological effects are explained, but the present invention is not limited to the compounds or antibody-drug conjugates shown in these test examples.
[0515] Test Example 1: Evaluation of microtubule polymerization inhibitory activity using porcine tubulin (1) The polymerization inhibitory activity of the compound of the Example at a concentration of 0.91 μM was evaluated using a tubulin polymerization inhibition assay kit (catalog number: BK006P) purchased from Cytoskeleton, following the protocol attached to the kit. In summary, 10 μL of 80 mM PIPES pH 6.9, 2 mM MgCl, 0.5 mM EGTA, and 5% DMSO buffer of the compound to be evaluated was added to a 96-well microplate, and 100 μL of 3 mg / mL porcine tubulin 80 mM PIPES pH 6.9, 2 mM MgCl, 0.5 mM EGTA, 1 mM GTP, and 10.2% glycerol solution was added to each of them. To examine the polymerization of tubulin over time, the absorbance at 340 nm was measured at 37° C. using a microplate reader. As the polymerization of tubulin progresses, the absorbance at 340 nm increases. The results are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
[0516] 1, in the microtubule polymerization inhibition evaluation test, Examples 4, 9, 23, 28, 43 and 44 exhibited microtubule polymerization inhibitory activity. In particular, Example 4 exhibited stronger polymerization inhibitory activity.
[0517] 2, Examples 14, 24 and 27 exhibited microtubule polymerization inhibitory activity in the microtubule polymerization inhibition evaluation test. Example 14 exhibited polymerization inhibitory activity in a concentration-dependent manner.
[0518] Test Example 2 : Evaluation of microtubule polymerization inhibitory activity using porcine tubulin (2) The polymerization inhibitory activity of the compounds of the examples was evaluated using a tubulin polymerization inhibition assay kit (catalog number: BK006P) purchased from Cytoskeleton, following the protocol attached to the kit. 10 μL of 80 mM PIPES pH 6.9, 2 mM MgCl, 0.5 mM EGTA, and 5% DMSO buffer of the compound to be evaluated was added to a 96-well microplate, and 100 μL of 3 mg / mL porcine tubulin 80 mM PIPES pH 6.9, 2 mM MgCl, 0.5 mM EGTA, 1 mM GTP, and 10.2% glycerol solution was added to each. In order to examine the polymerization of tubulin over time, the absorbance at 340 nm was measured at 37° C. using a microplate reader. As the polymerization of tubulin progresses, the absorbance at 340 nm increases.
[0519] The tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity was evaluated based on the percentage of polymerized tubulin 60 minutes after the start of the assay. Specifically, the absorbance of polymerized tubulin in the wells to which the compound was added was divided by the absorbance of polymerized tubulin in the wells to which the compound was not added, and the result was multiplied by 100 to calculate the microtubule polymerization rate (%). [Table 36]
[0520] A lower value of the microtubule polymerization rate indicates that the compound inhibits microtubule polymerization more strongly.
[0521] As shown by the results of Test Examples 1 and 2, it was revealed that the hemiasterlin derivatives of the present invention exhibit tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity.
[0522] Test Example 3: Cytotoxicity test (1) Human lymphoma cell lines, SU-DHL-1 cells (American Type Culture Collection, hereinafter referred to as ATCC) and Karpas-299 cells (European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures, hereinafter referred to as ECACC), were cultured in RPMI1640 (GIBCO) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (MP Biomedicals) (hereinafter referred to as "medium" in this test). SU-DHL-1 cells and Karpas-299 cells were cultured at 2 × 10 6 The cells / mL were prepared and added at 50 μL per well to a 96-well cell culture microplate. 50 μL per well of the compound of the example or hemiasterlin diluted 4-fold in 8 steps with medium was added to the microplate. 50 μL per well of medium was added to wells to which the test substance was not added. These were cultured at 37°C and under 5% CO2 for 4 days. After culture, the microplate was removed from the incubator and left to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega) was added to each well and stirred. This mixture was incubated in the dark for 20 minutes. The cell viability was calculated for each concentration of the test substance by measuring the luminescence in each well using a microplate luminometer. The IC 50 The results are shown in Tables 37 and 38.
[0523] I C 50 The value was calculated using the following formula. I C 50 (nM) = antilog(LOG 10 (a÷b)×(ed)÷(cd)+LOG 10 b) a: concentration of test substance a b: concentration of test substance b c: Cell viability when test substance at concentration a was added d: Cell viability when test substance at concentration b was added e: The mean value between the maximum and minimum cell viability when each concentration of the test substance was added. (a and b are concentrations that straddle the cell viability e, and a>b represents the concentration.)
[0524] The cell viability at each concentration was calculated using the following formula. Cell viability (%)=a'÷b'×100 a': Average luminescence intensity of wells to which the test substance was added (n=6) b': Average luminescence intensity in wells to which no test substance was added (n=6) (n represents the number of evaluations performed per concentration of the test substance)
[0525] [Table 37] [Table 38]
[0526] Test Example 4: Cytotoxicity test (2) SK-BR-3 cells (ATCC), a human breast cancer cell line, were cultured in McCoy's 5A (GIBCO) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (MP Biomedicals) (hereinafter referred to as "medium" in this study). SK-BR-3 cells were cultured at 2 × 10 6 The wells were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 3 days. After that, 50 μL of the compound of the example or hemiasterlin diluted 4-fold with medium was added to the wells. 50 μL of medium was added to the wells to which the test substance was not added. These were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 3 days. After the culture, the microplate was removed from the incubator and left to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega) was added and stirred. This mixture was incubated in the dark for 20 minutes. The cell viability was calculated for each concentration of the test substance by measuring the luminescence in each well using a microplate luminometer. IC 50The values were calculated according to the method described in Test Example 3. The results are shown in Table 39.
[0527] [Table 39]
[0528] As shown in Tables 37 to 39 above, the compounds shown in Test Examples 1 and 2 to exhibit microtubule polymerization inhibitory activity equivalent to that of hemiasterlin showed activity different from that of hemiasterlin in the cytotoxicity test.
[0529] Test Example 5: Membrane permeability test The membrane permeability of the compounds of the examples was tested by the artificial membrane permeability test (PAMPA) as follows. 200 μL of system solution (pION inc.) containing the compound of the examples and 4 μL of GIT Lipid-0 (pION inc.) were added to the donor plate. 200 μL of Acceptor Sink Buffer (pION inc.) was added to the acceptor plate. Both plates were overlaid and incubated at 37° C. for 4 hours, after which the UV of the solutions on the acceptor side and the donor side was measured using a UV plate reader (190-500 nm). Compounds with poor UV absorption were measured using LC-MS. The permeability coefficient P of the drug e (10 -6 The velocity (cm / sec) was calculated using the following formula. The results are shown in Tables 40 and 41.
number
[0530] [Table 40] [Table 41]
[0531] From the results of Test Examples 3 to 5, it is presumed that the compounds of the Examples, which have the same microtubule polymerization inhibitory activity as hemiasterlin, showed lower activity than hemiasterlin in the cytotoxicity test due to the difference in cell membrane permeability between these compounds. That is, the activity in the cytotoxicity test was lower than the activity in the polymerization inhibitory activity evaluation because the compounds of the Examples had low cell membrane permeability, which suppressed the migration of the compounds of the Examples into cells.
[0532] Test Example 6: Cytotoxicity test of ADC (1) CD30 antigen-positive cells, SU-DHL-1 cells (ATCC) and CD30 antigen-positive cells, Karpas-299 cells (ECACC), were cultured in RPMI1640 (GIBCO) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (MP Biomedicals) (hereinafter referred to as "medium A" in this test). CD30 antigen-negative cells, SK-BR-3 cells (ATCC), were cultured in McCoy's 5A (GIBCO) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (MP Biomedicals) (hereinafter referred to as "medium B" in this test). SU-DHL-1 cells, Karpas-299 cells, and SK-BR-3 cells were cultured in medium A or medium B at a concentration of 2 × 10 6 The ADC was prepared to 100 μL / mL and added to a 96-well cell culture microplate at 50 μL each. After addition, SK-BR-3 cells were cultured overnight at 37°C and 5% CO2. 50 μL each of the diluted ADCs, which were diluted 4-fold in eight stages with medium A or medium B, was added to the microplate at 50 μL each. 50 μL each of medium A or medium B was added to wells to which ADC was not added, and SU-DHL-1 cells and Karpas-299 cells were cultured for 4 days and SK-BR-3 cells for 3 days at 37°C and 5% CO2. After culture, the microplate was removed from the incubator and left to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega) was added to each well and stirred. This mixture was incubated in the dark for 20 minutes. The cell viability was calculated for each ADC concentration by measuring luminescence using a microplate luminometer. IC 50The values were calculated according to the method described in Test Example 3. The results are shown in Table 42.
[0533] [Table 42]
[0534] As shown in Table 42 above, Examples ADC1, ADC3, and ADC4, which are antibody-drug conjugates of Examples 4, 9, and 14 and brentuximab, respectively, selectively exhibited cytotoxic activity against CD30 antigen-positive cells. This result indicates that even a compound with weak cytotoxicity due to low membrane permeability exhibits strong cytotoxic activity by forming a complex with an antibody. Furthermore, antibody-drug conjugates other than Examples ADC1, ADC3, and ADC4 also exhibited strong cytotoxic activity.
[0535] Test Example 7: Pharmacokinetic evaluation test using mice Example 4 was administered intravenously once to mice at a dose of 1.0 mg / kg, and a pharmacokinetic evaluation test was performed. A calibration curve was created from the measured values of Example 4, whose concentrations were known, and the measured values of each sample were interpolated to calculate the amount of compound contained per unit volume in each plasma using LC-MS. The pharmacokinetics of compound 14 and hemiasterlin were also evaluated in the same manner. The results are shown in Tables 43 and 44.
[0536] [Table 43]
[0537] [Table 44] (In the table, nd means less than the detection limit (0.5 ng / mL).)
[0538] The half-life of each compound was determined, and the half-life of Example 4 was less than 0.5 hours, the half-life of Example 14 was less than 0.5 hours, and the half-life of hemiasterlin was 13.1 hours. It is considered that Example 14 was hydrolyzed in the body to produce mainly Example 4 and disappear. These results show that the hemiasterlin derivative of the present invention disappears quickly when released into the blood.
[0539] Test Example 8: Efficacy test of antibody-drug conjugates in Karpas-299 tumor type using CB-17 SCID mice This test is a representative test for evaluating the antitumor activity of drugs. The Karpas human anaplastic large cell lymphoma model is performed in CB-17 SCID mice at 5 × 10 6 The tumor model was created by subcutaneously transplanting 100 cells. 3 Treatment was initiated after the average volume was reached. Mice were given a single intravenous injection of Example ADC1 in phosphate buffered saline. Tumor volume was calculated using the formula: 0.5(longest dimension x perpendicular dimension) 2 ) was used to calculate the tumor size. 3 When the tumor size reached 0.001 mm, the mice were removed from the study and the average tumor size was not plotted thereafter. The efficacy of the mixture of Example ADC2 and Example 4 with Brentuximab was also tested in the same manner. The method of this test is described in Hamblett KJ et.al. Clin.Cancer Res., 2004, 10, 7063-7070, etc.
[0540] The results are shown in Figure 3. Mice administered Example ADC1 or Example ADC2 showed good tumor regression, whereas mice administered a mixture of substantially equal amounts of Example 4 and brentuximab showed tumor progression.
[0541] Test Example 9: Toxicity (safety) test of drugs or antibody-drug conjugates using Sprague-Dawley rats This test is a typical test to evaluate the toxicity (safety) of drugs or antibody-drug conjugates. Toxicity can be confirmed by administering drugs or antibody-drug conjugates to Sprague-Dawley rats once or repeatedly into the tail vein, and then observing general symptoms, hematological tests, blood biochemistry tests, bone marrow tests, autopsy, organ weights, histopathological tests, etc. This test is described in New Edition Toxicology, edited by the Education Committee of the Japanese Society of Toxicology, Asakura Publishing (2009), and in the Brentuximab Vetotin Application Document Summary, Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, etc.
[0542] Test Example 10: Cytotoxicity test of ADC (2) The cell viability was measured using the ADC of the Example according to the method described in Test Example 6. The cell viability was calculated as a percentage of the average luminescence intensity (n=3) of wells to which an ADC of the Example was added at a certain concentration relative to the luminescence intensity (n=1) of a well to which an antibody of the same concentration was added. The results are shown in the table below. [Table 45]
[0543] As shown in Test Example 10, when the ADC of the Example was used, a more significant decrease in cell count was observed compared to when the antibody portion thereof was used, demonstrating that the ADC of the present invention exhibits stronger cytotoxicity than the antibody itself.
[0544] From the above results, it was found that the compounds of the Examples showed lower activity than the compounds of the Comparative Examples in the cytotoxicity test. On the other hand, the compounds of the Examples did not lose the tubulin polymerization inhibitory activity derived from the hemiasterlin structure. In addition, the antibody-drug conjugate obtained by binding the compounds of the Examples to the antibody showed high activity in the cytotoxicity test. From these results, it is presumed that the difference in cytotoxicity between the compounds of the Comparative Examples and the compounds of the Examples is based on the difference in cell membrane permeability. That is, it is considered that the compounds of the Examples showed weaker cytotoxicity than the compounds of the Comparative Examples because the compounds of the Examples had low cell membrane permeability and the migration of the compounds of the Examples into cells was suppressed. Therefore, it was suggested that the antibody-drug conjugates containing the compounds of the Examples could suppress the migration of the compounds of the Examples, which have low cell membrane permeability, into normal cells even if reversible dissociation between the antibody portion and the drug portion occurs in the systemic blood, thereby reducing side effects. [Industrial Applicability]
[0545] As explained above, the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention selectively exhibits cytotoxic activity in antigen-expressing cells and has low cytotoxicity in normal cells, and is therefore expected to become an anticancer drug with excellent safety.
