Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of antibody-drug conjugates, and in particular to intermediates of antibody-drug conjugates and methods for their preparation. [Background technology]
[0002] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel biological targeting agents that combine the potent targeting effect of monoclonal antibodies with the cytotoxicity of small-molecule drugs, making them one of the fastest-growing fields in tumor targeting therapy. The three components of an ADC—antibody, cytotoxin, and linker—combine to form a targeted drug delivery system. The antibody achieves targeting, the linker ensures the stability of the ADC during blood transport, and the toxin exerts its killing effect on cancer cells after reaching the target site. Currently, there are over 60 ADCs in clinical trials for antitumor therapy. Most toxins are tubulin inhibitors, with a minority being DNA inhibitors. DNA inhibitors have two advantages over tubulin inhibitors: 1) DNA inhibitors are more active than tubulin inhibitors (picomolar IC 50 values), making them more effective in treating antigen-poor tumors; and 2) they can kill non-mitotic cancer cells, making them advantageous for treating solid tumors.
[0003] Camptothecin-based compounds are clinically used topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitors and have shown good clinical efficacy against slow-growing solid tumors. However, the unique structure of camptothecin leads to poor water and lipid solubility, so water solubility needs to be improved. ADC drugs using camptothecin as a "warhead" offer a novel solution to these drawbacks.
[0004] Currently, two camptothecin derivative-based ADC drugs, Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) and Trodervy (sacituzumab govitecan), have been approved. These drugs address clinical needs in the treatment of oncology, particularly malignant tumors. Enhertu, developed by AstraZeneca / Daiichi Sankyo, uses a cathepsin B-activated GGF-G tetrapeptide as a linker, introducing a small self-cleaving moiety to release Dxd, an exatecan derivative. Ninety-nine patients treated with Enhertu for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer achieved an objective remission rate of 54.5% and a disease control rate of 93.9%. Sacituzumab govitecan uses an Mcc-triazole spacer-PEG7-x-lysine-PABC linker, which degrades in intracellular lysosomes (pH approximately 5) to release camptothecin (SN38). Triple-negative breast cancer is clinically considered virtually incurable. However, a Phase II clinical trial of sacituzumab govitecan for triple-negative breast cancer demonstrated a high efficacy rate of 30%, with tumor shrinkage observed in 69.5% of patients. Furthermore, sacituzumab govitecan was able to shrink tumors in 60% of patients with small cell lung cancer who had failed multiple treatments. In non-small cell lung cancer patients who had failed chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and PD-1 therapy, sacituzumab govitecan achieved a high control rate of 43%. However, despite significant therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials, serious safety issues remain due to ADC toxicity, including hematologic, neurotoxicity, pulmonary, cutaneous, hepatotoxic, ocular, metabolic, and cardiac toxicity. Therefore, improving the safety of ADC drugs is a major concern in current drug development and must be addressed.
[0005] In addition, the synthesis of linkers and loadings for some ADCs presents the problem of difficulty in removing the metal ion reaction products. For example, CL2A-SN38, used in sacituzumab govitecan, involves a click chemistry reaction (click reaction) during synthesis (see paragraph
[0273] on page 50 of the specification of Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN102448494A). 2+ It contains and cannot be easily removed.
[0006] The linker plays a crucial role in the ADC structure, affecting its pharmacokinetic parameters, therapeutic index, and efficacy. The linker can maintain the stability of the ADC conjugate in the bloodstream. Stability must be considered when designing a linker. Because ADC drugs have long half-lives, linker stability is essential to prevent the linker from being degraded in the blood and releasing toxins. If the linker is not stable enough in the blood, the ADC may be degraded before entering tumor cells, resulting in reduced efficacy against tumors and even the accidental killing of other cells. Furthermore, the linker must be able to rapidly release the cytotoxic drug during the ADC's internalization into tumor cells. Thus, the linker plays a crucial role in the safety and efficacy of the developed ADC drug. Different linker structures significantly affect the ease, cost, and environmental friendliness of the ADC preparation process, as well as the quality of the ADC drug, such as its stability, which in turn affects the safety of the ADC drug.

[0043] Unless otherwise specified, all abbreviations used herein have the same meaning as understood by a person skilled in the art. Common abbreviations used herein and their definitions are listed below. [Table 1] [Table 2] [Definition]
[0044] Various terms relating to various aspects of the specification are used throughout the specification and claims. Unless otherwise specified, such terms have their ordinary meaning in the art. Other specifically defined terms should be understood to be consistent with the definitions provided herein.
[0045] As used herein, the terms "a," "an," and "said" are used in accordance with standard convention and mean one or more, unless the context indicates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to an "antibody-drug conjugate" includes a combination of two or more antibody-drug conjugates, and the like.
[0046] It should be understood that, except for cases described herein using the word "comprising," there are similar cases that are further described using the words "consisting of" and / or "consisting essentially of."
[0047] The term "antibody-drug conjugate" as used herein refers to a compound in which an antibody / antibody functional fragment, a linker, and a drug moiety are chemically bonded. Its structure typically consists of three parts: an antibody or antibody-like ligand, a drug moiety, and a linker connecting the antibody or antibody-like ligand to the drug. Currently, the preparation of antibody-drug conjugates is typically divided into two steps: a first step in which the linker and drug moiety are chemically reacted to form a "linker-drug" conjugate; and a second step in which the linker moiety of the "linker-drug" conjugate is covalently bonded to the antibody / antibody functional fragment via a thiol or amino group. The term "antibody-drug conjugate intermediate" in the present invention refers to the above-described "linker-drug" conjugate. Furthermore, the term "antibody-drug conjugate intermediate" in the present invention generally refers to a covalent conjugate of a "linker" and SN38.
[0048] The "antibody-drug conjugate" used in the present invention can be prepared by a conventional method in the art. For example, the antibody-drug conjugate used in the present invention can be prepared by preparing a 10 mg / mL solution of the antibody in a PBS buffer solution at pH 7.4, adding an appropriate equivalent of TCEP and shaking for 1 hour to mix thoroughly, and then adding 5.0 molar equivalents of a linker-toxin (i.e., a compound represented by Formula 1-16) and shaking for 1 hour to react. After the reaction is complete, the remaining small molecules are removed by ultrafiltration, and the conjugate is loaded onto a hydrophobic interaction high-performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC) to measure the DAR, drug distribution, and antibody ratio.
[0049] The present invention aims to provide intermediates for novel drug conjugates. As an example, several ADCs were prepared using Heceptin to verify the effectiveness of the technology. However, it should be understood that the choice of antibody is not a limitation of the present invention. Specific ADC structures are exemplified below. Here, ADC-1 corresponds to the compound of formula (1) in which a linker and a toxin are used, and is prepared using Heceptin by a general method for preparing an "antibody-drug conjugate" in the art. (Similarly, the linker and toxin in ADC-2 corresponds to the compound of formula (2); the linker and toxin in ADC-3 corresponds to the compound of formula (3); the linker and toxin in ADC-4 corresponds to the compound of formula (4); the linker and toxin in ADC-5 corresponds to the compound of formula (5); the linker and toxin in ADC-6 corresponds to the compound of formula (6); the linker and toxin in ADC-7 corresponds to the compound of formula (7); and the linker and toxin in ADC-8 corresponds to the compound of formula (8). (ADC-9 corresponds to a compound of formula (9); ADC-10 corresponds to a compound of formula (10); ADC-11 corresponds to a compound of formula (11); ADC-12 corresponds to a compound of formula (12); ADC-13 corresponds to a compound of formula (13); ADC-14 corresponds to a compound of formula (14); ADC-15 corresponds to a compound of formula (15); ADC-16 corresponds to a compound of formula (16); ADC-17 corresponds to a compound of formula CL2A-SN38), where q may be selected from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

[0050] The term "linker" according to the present invention refers to a bi- or multi-functional molecule that can react with the protein / antibody molecule and the SN38 reaction, respectively, and thus acts as a "bridge" to connect the protein / antibody to SN38. The linker according to the present invention particularly refers to a group that contains an acyl group in its structure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0109] Example 7 Evaluation of the inhibitory effect of anti-Her2 drug conjugates on the development of orthotopic breast cancer
[0110] 1. Test Method
[0111] The BT474 cell line was regenerated for 1-2 generations. After the cell proliferation state stabilized, expansion culture was performed to prepare a tumor cell suspension. BT474 cells were then applied to nude mice cream pads at a concentration of 0.2 × 10 7 A total of 60 female BALB / c nude mice were inoculated with the IgG1 gene. The average tumor volume was approximately 70 mm. 3At this point, 42 mice were selected and randomly divided into six groups of seven mice per group according to tumor volume: Control Group 1 (normal saline group), which was the negative control group; Control Group 2 (ADC-17); Experimental Group 1 (ADC-4); Experimental Group 2 (ADC-12); Experimental Group 3 (ADC-1); and Experimental Group 4 (ADC-9). After successful model establishment, control group 1 was intravenously administered normal saline, while the remaining groups were intravenously administered the drugs at doses of 5 mg / kg (control group 2), 5 mg / kg (experimental group 1), 5 mg / kg (experimental group 2), 5 mg / kg (experimental group 3), and 5 mg / kg (experimental group 4) once weekly for 21 weeks. Mouse weights and tumor volumes were measured three times weekly, and on day 21, the weights and tumor volumes of the mice were measured.
[0112] 2. Test results and analysis
[0113] 1) Changes in mouse weight:
[0114] [Table 7]
[0115] No mice died during the study. At the end of the study, there were no significant differences in body weight between control group 1 and control group 2 (ADC-17 group), experimental group 1 (ADC-4), experimental group 2 (ADC-12), experimental group 3 (ADC-1), and experimental group 4 (ADC-9). See Table 5 and Figure 1 for details.
[0116] 2) Mouse tumor volume:
[0117] [Table 8] Note: When comparing each group with the control group, the saline group, * " indicates P<0.05, and " ** " indicates P<0.01. When each group was compared with the control group 2, # " indicates P<0.05, and " ## " indicates P<0.01.
[0118] The tumor volume in control group 1 was 107±19.30 mm on the 21st day after administration. 3 The tumor volumes in the five groups, control group 2, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3, and experimental group 4, were 49.17±13.29, 57.12±20.28, 66.26±21.37, 61.32±12.82, 75.76±46.18, and 75.19±25.99 mm, respectively. 3 (See Table 6). The four groups (control group 2, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, and experimental group 3) showed highly statistically significant differences (P<0.01) compared with control group 1 (saline group), and experimental group 4 showed a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) compared with control group 1. The tumor volumes in experimental groups 1, 2, and 3 were not statistically significantly different (P>0.05) compared with control group 2, and the relative tumor volumes were also not significantly different (P>0.05), indicating comparable efficacy. Furthermore, the relative tumor growth rates (T / C) in the five groups (control group 2, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3, and experimental group 4) were 49.30%, 55.00%, 62.58%, 62.48%, 67.19%, and 63.20%, respectively. These data indicate that the four antibody-drug conjugates tested in this study, corresponding to control group 2, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, and experimental group 3, were all able to highly significantly inhibit BT474 tumor growth with comparable efficacy, and experimental group 4 was also able to inhibit BT474 tumor growth. The changes in tumor volume and relative tumor volume for each group during the study are shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.
[0119] In summary, the ADCs constructed using the intermediate drug conjugates of this invention showed significant antitumor activity in a breast cancer BT474 cell model. The preferred ADCs, ADC-1, ADC-4, and ADC-12, have clear advantages, significantly improved safety under in vivo conditions, and are expected to provide tumor-suppressing effects comparable to those of the ADC-17 group.
