Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of biopharmaceuticals, and particularly to a method for preparing an antibody-drug conjugate and its use.
Background Art
[0002] An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) as a novel targeted therapeutic drug delivers a drug to an affected area through an appropriate carrier. However, due to the technical limitations of antibodies and highly active cytotoxic drugs, only a limited number of antibody-drug conjugates have been approved for marketing, and rapid development of the application of antibody-drug conjugates in the field of tumor treatment is needed.
[0003] Cytotoxic substances are essential for ADC drugs to exert their effects, and camptothecin drugs have great potential for application. Trodelvy and Enhertu, which have launched ADC drugs, use the camptothecin drugs SN38 and DX-8951f, respectively, as warhead molecules. However, the ADCs ultimately prepared through camptothecin drugs significantly alter the properties of the monoclonal antibody, and their stability and half-life are drastically shortened. In the DESTINY-Breast03 clinical trial, the objective response rate (ORR) confirmed by Enhertu reached 79.7%, but according to the DS8201-A-J101 clinical trial, the objective response rate (ORR) confirmed by Enhertu for HER2-low expression breast cancer was 37.0%, and the efficacy rate of the treatment was significantly lower than that for high- or moderate-expression breast cancer. Furthermore, new symptoms in terms of toxic side effects have appeared with ADC drugs, such as pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia with the drug Enhertu. Patent Document 1 discloses a camptothecin compound containing a valine-citrulline (Val-Cit)-PAB linker, but it is not possible to obtain a quality-compliant ADC molecule by conjugating this molecule with an antibody (the aggregate content in a satisfactory ADC product is less than 5%). Therefore, in this field, it is an urgent task to provide a more suitable antibody-drug conjugate based on camptothecin drugs (exatecan, berotecan, etc.), achieve efficient, simple, and practical chemical preparation and conjugation, and improve the pharmaceutical properties, metabolic properties, efficacy, and safety (improvement of molecular stability of ADCs, expansion of therapeutic range, etc.) of conventional antibody-drug conjugates.

[0006] This application provides antibody-drug conjugates, intermediates thereof, methods for preparation, and uses. The antibody-drug conjugates of this application enable a wide range of applications of cytotoxic drugs in the ADC field for the treatment of tumor diseases. The main technical effect of this application is that the novel linker provided can conjugate highly hydrophobic antitumor drugs (such as exatecan, berotecan, and other topoisomerase inhibitors) to antibodies by a specific chemical method, and the resulting conjugates have high hydrophilicity and stability. Compared to conventional ADC linkers, the linker provided in this application is less likely to form aggregates in antibody conjugates at high drug-antibody ratios. Compared to similar ADC drugs, the toxin molecules released by this application are the original molecules of the topoisomerase inhibitors exatecan and berotecan, and tests have shown that these drug molecules have better bioactivity, safety, and other drug-related properties than drug derivatives released by similar ADC drugs. Therefore, this application aims to improve the antitumor activity of drugs and / or broaden the overall therapeutic range by extending the in vivo half-life of drugs and increasing drug concentrations in tumor tissue.

[0031] In one embodiment, the organic solvent does not exceed 30% by volume in the mixture of the buffer and the organic solvent.
[0032] In this application, we have found that, compared to conventional antibody-drug conjugates, the hydrophobicity of drugs such as exatecan and berotecan is too high. Therefore, by introducing polysarcosine, the hydrophilicity of the conjugate is significantly increased, resulting in a more stable and less aggregated antibody-drug conjugate overall. Furthermore, this application provides a carbamate that can release the drug through rapid 1,6-elimination after enzymatic digestion, exhibiting better in vitro and in vivo stability and biological activity. Based on these findings, we have completed the present invention.

[0050] In this application, the term "aliphatic cyclylene" generally refers to a residue obtained by removing two hydrogen atoms from the carbon atoms of an alicyclic ring.

[0053] In this application, the terms "depending on the circumstances" or "depending on the circumstances" generally mean that the event or situation described thereafter may or may not occur, and therefore the description includes both cases in which the event or situation occurs and cases in which it does not occur. For example, "a heterocyclic group that may be substituted with an alkyl group" means that an alkyl group may or may not be present, and the description may include both cases in which the heterocyclic group is substituted with an alkyl group and cases in which it is not.
[0054] In this application, the term "substituted" generally means that one or more (e.g., up to five) hydrogen atoms in a group, for example, one to three hydrogen atoms, are independently substituted by a corresponding number of substituents. Substituents exist only in possible chemical positions, and those skilled in the art can verify possible or impossible substitutions (by experiment or theory) without excessive effort. For example, an amino group or hydroxyl group with free hydrogen may become unstable when bonded to a carbon atom by an unsaturated (e.g., olefinic) bond.

For example, C3 alkyl refers to an alkyl group having 3 carbon atoms (e.g., n-propyl, isopropyl), C 1-10 Therefore, the members of the group can have any number of carbon atoms in the range of 1 to 10.
[0056] One or more hydrogen atoms (e.g., up to five) in the group, for example, one to three hydrogen atoms, are independently substituted by a corresponding number of substituents. Substituents exist only in possible chemical positions, and those skilled in the art can verify possible or impossible substitutions (experimentally or theoretically) without excessive effort.

In the present application, the term "diastereomer" generally refers to stereoisomers that have two or more chiral centers and whose molecules are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers may have different physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, spectral characteristics, and reactivity. In the present application, the terms "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" are used interchangeably and generally refer to structural isomers of different energies that can be interconverted via a low energy barrier. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via the movement of protons such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization.

[0061] In the present application, specific atoms of the compounds of the present application may exist in one or more isotopes. For example, hydrogen may exist as protium ( 1 H), deuterium ( 2 H), and tritium ( 3 H), and carbon may exist naturally as three different isotopes ( 12 C, 13 C, and 14 C). Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds of the present application include 15 N, 18 O, 17 O, 18 F, 32 P, 33 P, 129 I, 131 I, 123 I, 124 I, 125Examples include, but are not limited to, isotopes I or similar isotopes. Therefore, compared to their natural abundances, the compounds of this invention can be enriched with one or more of these isotopes. Such isotope-enriched compounds can be used in a variety of applications, as is known to those skilled in the art. For example, heavier isotopes, such as deuterium ( 2 Substitution with H) may yield certain therapeutic benefits due to greater metabolic stability. For example, deuterium ( 2 The natural abundance of H) is approximately 0.015%. Therefore, in nature, there is one deuterium atom for every approximately 6500 hydrogen atoms. For this reason, the deuterium-containing compounds of this application have a deuterium abundance greater than 0.015% at one or more positions (in some cases). Unless otherwise explicitly indicated, the structures described herein may include compounds that differ only in the presence or absence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds in which a hydrogen atom is substituted with deuterium or tritium, or a carbon atom is substituted with carbon-13 or carbon-14, except that the rest of the compound matches the structure of this application, fall within the scope of this application.

For example, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can be distinguished from a nucleic acid vector used in genetic engineering to contain a target gene. Suitable carriers may be large, slowly metabolized polymers such as proteins, polysaccharides, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polyamino acids, amino acid copolymers, lipid polymers, and inactivated virus particles.

[0069] In this application, the term "chimeric antibody" generally refers to an antibody in which the variable region of a mouse antibody is fused with the constant region of a human antibody, thereby reducing the immune response induced by the mouse antibody. To produce a chimeric antibody, a hybridoma that secretes a specific monoclonal antibody derived from a mouse is established, the variable region gene is cloned from the mouse hybridoma cells, and if necessary, the constant region gene of a human antibody is cloned.

Because it retains a large amount of mouse protein components, it can overcome heterologous reactions caused by chimeric antibodies. Such framework sequences can be obtained from public DNA databases containing germline antibody gene sequences or from publicly available references. For example, germline DNA sequences of human heavy chain and light chain variable region genes can be found in the "VBase" human germline sequence database.

[0081] In this application, the term "effective dose" generally refers to the amount of therapeutic agent that treats, alleviates, or prevents a target disease or symptom, or that exhibits a detectable therapeutic or preventive effect. The exact effective dose for a subject will depend on the subject's body type and health status, the nature and severity of the disease, and the therapeutic agent and / or combination of therapeutic agents selected for administration. For this reason, it is not useful to pre-specify the exact effective dose. However, for a given situation, a clinician can determine the effective dose through routine experimentation.

The antibodies constituting the antibody-drug conjugates in this application may maintain their antigen-binding ability in their original wild state. Therefore, the antibody in this application can specifically bind to the antigen.Antigens involved include, for example, tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), cell surface receptor proteins and other cell surface molecules, regulators of cell survival, regulators of cell proliferation, molecules related to tissue growth and differentiation (such as known or predicted functional molecules), lymphokines, cytokines, molecules involved in cell cycle regulation, molecules involved in angiogenesis, and molecules involved in angiogenesis (for example, antigens to which known antibodies bind may be one or a subset of the above classification, while other subsets include other molecules / antigens with specific properties (compared to target antigens)). Antibodies used in antibody-drug conjugates include, but are not limited to, antibodies against cell surface receptors and tumor-associated antigens.

[0338] Preparation of antibody complex 13 The stock solution of hRS7 monoclonal antibody targeting Trop-2 was dialyzed and replaced with 50 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4) / 50 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), pH 7.0 buffer. After measuring the monoclonal antibody concentration in the solution, the antibody was diluted to 5 mg / mL with the above buffer. The reaction tube was cooled in an ice bath for 10 minutes. 2.5 times the molar ratio of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at 4°C. Dimethylacetamide (DMA) was continuously added in appropriate amounts to the unpurified reaction mixture described above, and then a 6.0-fold molar excess of the control drug molecule or drug linker complex A-11 (10 mM pre-dissolved in DMA) was added, ensuring that the volume ratio of DMA in the reaction system did not exceed 10%, and the mixture was stirred at 4°C for 2 hours to allow binding. After binding was complete, 4.0 times the molar ratio of small molecules of cysteine were added to the reaction mixture to consume the excess drug linker complex A-11, and the reaction was stopped by stirring at 4°C for 30 minutes. The binding reaction mixture was filtered and purified using a desalting column with histidine-acetic acid / sodium chloride at pH 5.5, and the filtered sample was collected.

[0339] The concentration of the bound drug in the antibody-drug conjugate can be calculated as follows by measuring the ultraviolet absorbance of the antibody-drug conjugate aqueous solution at wavelengths of 280 nm and 370 nm.
[0340] The total absorbance at a given wavelength is equal to the sum of the absorbances of all light-absorbing chemicals in the system (additivity of absorbance). Therefore, assuming that the molar extinction coefficients of the antibody and drug do not change before and after binding, the antibody and drug concentrations in the antibody-drug complex can be expressed by the following equations.
[0341]
number
[0342] ε A,280 This can be estimated from the amino acid sequence of the antibody using a known calculation method (Non-Patent Literature 1), and ε A,370 It is generally zero. From the absorbance of a solution of a drug linker complex at a specific molar concentration, ε can be calculated based on Lambert-Beer's law. D,280 and ε D,370 Obtain the result using a microplate reader or ultraviolet spectrophotometer. 280 and A 370 The value of is measured, and the values of the four molar extinction coefficients above are substituted into the simultaneous equations (1) and (2) to obtain C A and C D The value can be calculated. Average number of bound drug molecules in each antibody molecule DAR = C D / C A Therefore, the ultraviolet absorption coefficient of compound A-11 is ε D,280 =6480, ε D,370The value was 16483, which was used to calculate the drug-antibody ratio in this embodiment, and the DAR value of antibody complex 13 was approximately 4.0.

[0345] The compound of this application and the ADC prepared therefrom exhibit higher monomer purity at higher drug-antibody ratios compared to the ADC prepared from the control molecule, suggesting that this type of ADC molecule has better stability. Furthermore, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC-HPLC) analysis results showed that the ADC molecule of this application had a shorter retention time than the control molecule, indicating that it is closer to a naked antibody. This suggests that this type of ADC molecule has better hydrophilicity, a longer in vivo half-life, and may have stronger in vivo efficacy.
[0346] (Example 3: Stability test of antibody complex) ADC drugs based on camptothecin topoisomerase inhibitors, such as sacituzumab govitecan (Trodelvy) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu), typically have a high drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR). Because camptothecin molecules possess a fused ring structure and strong hydrophobicity, the stability of this type of ADC molecule is bound to be affected to some extent. The ADCs prepared in this invention, by introducing polysarcosine peptide chains at specific positions, may have a better "barrier effect" and thus better stability. To test this hypothesis, we designed an accelerated stability test for the antibody.
[0347] The molecules to be compared are as follows: 1. Trastuzumab 2. Antibody complex 2 3. Antibody complex 5 4. Antibody complex 6 5. Antibody complex 7 5. Antibody complex 8
[0348] Dilute the test molecule sample to a concentration of 5 mg / ml in formulation buffer (20 mM Histidine-acetic acid, 150 mM NaCl, pH 5.5), take 50 μL and test directly or 55 oAfter incubating the samples in a water bath for 1, 2, 5, 24, 48, and 72 hours, respectively, tests (accelerated stability tests) were performed. Changes in sample concentration were detected by UV spectroscopy, and quantitative analysis of the content of normal structured ADC molecules (main peak) and polymerized molecules in the samples was performed using a TSK-GEL SWXL3000 molecular exclusion chromatography column on an Agilent 1260 Infinity II bioinert LC system.
[0349] The HPLC mobile phase was 200 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) + 150 mM KCl + 15% IPA, the column temperature was 25°C, the injection volume was 7 μL, the flow rate was 0.75 ml / min, and the UV detection wavelengths were 280 nm and 370 nm.
[0350] Figure 23 shows the statistical results of the sample concentration changes. Trastuzumab and its corresponding antibody-drug conjugates 5 and 6 both exhibited good thermal stability, and the difference in concentration changes from 0 to 72 hours was small. However, the samples of antibody-drug conjugates 2, 7, and 8 showed a rapid decrease in ADC concentration after 24 hours, and the sample concentration decreased rapidly due to precipitation.
[0351] Further analysis of the changes in the rate of increase of polymer molecules in the accelerated stability test samples using molecular size exclusion chromatography yielded statistical results, shown in Figure 24. These results were consistent with the trend in sample concentration changes, and the order of sample stability from highest to lowest was trastuzumab ≈ antibody complex 5 > antibody complex 6 > antibody complex 7 > antibody complex 8 ≈ antibody complex 2.
[0352] The results described above confirm that the hydrophilic polysarcosine peptide chain at a specific position in the present invention has a "barrier effect" and provides an "unexpected" stability-enhancing effect to the antibody-drug conjugate molecule.
[0353] (Example 4: In vitro cytotoxicity test) NCI-N87 human gastric cancer cells were selected as the cell line for in vitro activity detection in this experiment, and the effective doses of antibody complex 2, antibody complex 5, antibody complex 6, trastuzumab monoclonal antibody, and IgG-deruxtecan for cell killing were observed. After adding the sample to the antibody-drug conjugate prepared in Example 2, the final concentration was set to 500 nM, and nine concentration levels (5-fold dilution) from 500 to 0.1 nM were designed from the initial concentration. Changes in killing (or suppression) were observed over 120 hours, chemiluminescent staining (Luminescent Cell Viability Assay) was performed, and fluorescence data was read before IC25. 50 I calculated it.
[0354] As shown in Figure 25, Her2-highly expressing NCI-N87 cells were processed with antibody complex 2, antibody complex 4, antibody complex 5, antibody complex 6, and Trastuzumab monoclonal antibody and IgG-deruxtecan. Antibody complexes 2, 4, 5, and 6 all significantly suppressed tumor cell proliferation, and were significantly more effective than Trastuzumab monoclonal antibody and IgG-deruxtecan.
[0355] As shown in Figure 26, Her2-low expressing OV-CAR3 human ovarian adenocarcinoma cells were processed with antibody complex 5, antibody complex 11, and DS8201a (antibody complex 2). All three antibody complexes significantly suppressed tumor cell proliferation, with antibody complex 5 and antibody complex 11 being superior to DS8201a (antibody complex 2).
[0356] As shown in Figures 27 and 28, when Her2-highly expressing NCI-N87 cells and SK-BR-3 cells were processed with antibody conjugate 12 and Belotecan small molecule, antibody conjugate 12 significantly suppressed tumor cell proliferation, and was significantly more effective than the supported small molecule drug Belotecan.
[0357] According to the activity test results described above, all ADCs prepared with the compounds of this invention exhibited good in vitro antitumor activity, and the advantages of the antibody conjugates of this invention are particularly evident against tumor cells with low expression of the relevant antigens.
[0358] (Example 5: Measurement of in vivo antitumor effect) The effects of the combination of the present invention could be measured in vivo, specifically by transplanting allografts or xenografts of cancer cells into rodents and processing the tumors with the combination. Test mice were processed with either the drug or a control and monitored for several weeks or more to measure the time of tumor doubling, logarithmic cell killing, and tumor suppression.
[0359] In vivo antitumor experiments (1) HER2-low-expressing COLO205 human colon cancer cells (ATCC) were suspended in physiological saline and 4 × 10⁶ cells were used. 7 Individual cells were transplanted subcutaneously into the right flank of female nude mice, and the mice were randomly divided into groups on day 6. Day 0 was designated as day 0, and on day 0, antibody complex 2 (DS8201), antibody complex 5, and 10 mg / kg of Kadcyla (T-DM1) were administered via the tail vein at doses of 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg, respectively. A control group administered PBS buffer was also provided.
[0360] The results are shown in Figure 29. In COLO205 tumors with low HER2 expression, administration of 10 mg / kg Kadcyla (T-DM1) did not show tumor growth inhibitory activity, while DS8201 at 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg, and antibody conjugate 5 all showed dose-dependent antitumor activity. Here, the efficacy of antibody conjugate 5 was significantly stronger than that of the control antibody conjugate 2.
[0361] Regarding HER2 expression in tumors, results obtained by immunohistochemical staining were used to classify tumors as high expression (score 3+), moderate expression (score 2+), and low expression (score 1+). It should be noted that even if a tumor scores 0 using this method, if other measurement methods, such as flow cytometry, yield positive results, it will still be classified as low expression.
[0362] In vivo antitumor experiments (2) HER2-expressing HCC1954 human breast cancer cells (ATCC) were suspended in physiological saline, and 4 × 10⁶ samples were taken. 7 Individual cells were transplanted subcutaneously into the right flank of female nude mice, and they were randomly divided into groups on day 6. Day 0 was designated as day 0, and on day 0, antibody complex 2 (DS8201) and antibody complex 5 were administered via the tail vein at doses of 1 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg, and 10 mg / kg, respectively. As a control group, IgG was prepared and bound to the corresponding toxin linker, and these groups were administered the IgG-IgG-deruxtecan complex and the IgG-A11 complex, respectively.
[0363] The results are shown in Figure 30. In the case of HCC1954 tumors expressed in HER2, administration of antibody conjugate 2 (DS8201) at 1 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg, and 10 mg / kg, and antibody conjugate 5 all showed dose-dependent antitumor activity. Of these, antibody conjugate 5 showed significantly stronger efficacy than the control antibody conjugate 2.
[0364] According to the activity test results, all ADCs prepared with the compounds of this application showed a certain level of in vivo antitumor activity, and were able to exhibit significantly stronger antitumor activity compared to the control sample. The tumor mice were sufficiently resistant to the above drugs, and no symptoms such as weight loss occurred.
[0365] (Example 6: In vivo pharmacokinetic detection) In this example, the pharmacokinetic properties of antibody conjugate 5, antibody conjugate 6, and the control drug DS8201a were evaluated in rats. Specifically, in this example, 3 mg / kg of antibody conjugate 5, antibody conjugate 6, and DS8201 were administered to rats by tail injection, and the mean toxicity parameters of the bound antibodies in each dose group are shown in the table below. The order of the half-lives of the bound antibodies was antibody conjugate 5 ≈ antibody conjugate 6 > DS8201a.
[0366] [Table 1-1] [Table 1-2]
[0367] The PK results of the above antibody conjugate in rats indicate that the ADC obtained using the new technology scheme has better stability and a longer half-life in rats. Therefore, the ADC of this application can achieve superior safety and efficacy compared to DS-8201a, and thus significantly contributes to cancer patients with moderate to low HER2 expression.
