Abstract
Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel folic acid-drug conjugate that can be usefully used for the prevention or treatment of cancer, a method for preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same. Background Technology
[0003] Recently, smart drug delivery systems have been widely utilized in which a cytotoxic drug (payload) that cannot distinguish between normal and disease cells is conjugated to an antibody, and the drug is selectively delivered only to cells that overexpress the target antigen of the antibody. However, this method has limitations in that the drug hardly reaches disease cells that do not have a target antigen or express only a very small amount of it. To overcome these limitations, anticancer drugs in the form of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are gaining attention. These drugs enhance anticancer efficacy while minimizing the off-target toxicity of cytotoxic drugs, and also allow the use of cytotoxic drugs that were previously difficult to use as pharmaceuticals.
[0004] However, despite the development of various antibody-drug conjugates based on the inherent tumor specificity and selectivity of antibodies, factors such as the difficulty of penetrating into solid tumors, immunogenicity, and high manufacturing costs are still cited as limiting factors for clinical application. Accordingly, the inventors have invented a small molecule compound-drug conjugate, which is a new intelligent drug delivery platform that does not use antibodies. A novel folic acid-drug conjugate was developed having the ideal chemical structure required for a small molecule compound-drug conjugate, and furthermore, it was confirmed that the novel folic acid-drug conjugate can exhibit excellent tumor-specific drug delivery and anticancer effects.

[0176] [Chemical Formula 1]
[0177] .
[0178] In the present invention, “Folate receptor α (FRα)” is a target for the development of anticancer drugs that regulate folate metabolism. Since folate receptor α is overexpressed in a number of solid tumors, including ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer, various approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of these cancers are possible. Accordingly, the inventors have invented a small molecule compound-drug conjugate that selectively delivers drugs to tumor cells overexpressing folate receptor α by utilizing the principle that folic acid derivatives strongly bind to folate receptor α. Since the drug hardly reaches normal cells that lack folate receptor α or have minimal expression, this small molecule compound-drug conjugate of the present invention can exhibit the advantage of reducing off-target toxicity of cytotoxic drugs and enhancing anticancer efficacy.
[0179] In the present invention, “cancer cells” undergo more active glucose absorption and metabolism than normal cells for rapid proliferation, and in fact, in cancer cells of many types of cancer, glucose transporters, glucose receptors, as well as various glucose hydrolyzing enzymes such as glycosids are overexpressed. For example, high expression of beta-glucuronidase is observed in ovarian cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, etc. The inventors have invented a glucose-based drug delivery system utilizing a glycosylated prodrug for cancer treatment by taking advantage of these characteristics of cancer cells. Specifically, the glycosylated prodrug contained in the compound of the present invention is designed to accumulate specifically in cancer cells and to release the drug through glucose-metabolizing enzymes overexpressed within the cancer cells, thereby enhancing the anticancer effect and minimizing toxicity to normal cells. Furthermore, the glucose portion contained in the compound of the present invention has high water solubility, low toxicity, and high biocompatibility, which can exhibit the advantage of improving the pharmacokinetics of the drug.
[0180] In one embodiment of the present invention, the compound may be a low-molecular-weight compound-drug conjugate, but is not limited thereto.
[0181] In the present invention, the “small molecule compound-drug conjugate” may be composed of four parts: a targeting ligand, a spacer linker, a cleavable linker, and a payload / therapeutic cargo, drug, but is not limited thereto.
[0182] In the present invention, the “target ligand” is a ligand that specifically recognizes a target overexpressed in a disease and selectively binds to it to act, and includes receptor inhibitors / agonists and other regulatory substances, and the target ligand may be a small molecule compound (small molecule or peptide), and includes all that can specifically recognize a target overexpressed in a disease within the scope of the ordinary level of technology.
[0183] In the present invention, the “spacer linker” may be water-soluble in order to minimize non-selective passive permeation without interfering with the binding of the target ligand to the disease target, together with the cleavage linker, and may play a role in improving the pharmacokinetics of the small molecule compound-drug conjugate. Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the spacer linker may be denoted by A.
[0184] In the present invention, the “cleavable linker” is a region responsible for releasing the loaded drug after the small molecule compound-drug conjugate binds to a disease target, and may allow the drug to be released through endogenous enzyme systems or substances that are activated or more abundant in the disease target and environment. The cleavable linker may include a sugar, but is not limited thereto. Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the cleavable linker may be denoted by B.
[0185] In the present invention, the “payload / therapeutic cargo, drug” is a drug that performs the role of being finally released to exert a therapeutic effect after being delivered to a disease target, and potent cytotoxic drugs are primarily used for the purpose of cancer treatment. The cytotoxic drug may be a broad concept including substances capable of killing cancer cells, such as DNA damaging agents, microtubule inhibitors, and topoisomerase I inhibitors. Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the payload drug may be denoted by D.
[0186] In the present invention, the “long-acting site” refers to a portion intended to improve the drug’s persistence by extending the half-life of the compound of the present invention. In the treatment of diseases including cancer, maintaining an effective drug concentration within the target tissue for a certain period of time is a critical factor in the manifestation of drug efficacy; accordingly, drug delivery systems are designed to simultaneously consider not only specificity and selectivity for the target tissue but also persistence within the body. Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention applied a strategy of introducing a long-acting site into a small molecule compound-drug conjugate. In particular, for small molecule-drug conjugate drugs with a short blood half-life, a fatty acid derivative capable of strongly binding to albumin in the body was introduced to extend the blood half-life, thereby improving the drug’s persistence. Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the long-acting site may be denoted as LA.
[0187] In the present invention, the spacer linker, cleavable linker, long-acting site, and payload / therapeutic cargo, drug may comprise, but are not limited to, the compounds described above and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

[0451] In Preparation Example 2-1, intermediate compound 2-2 was prepared through the following [Reaction Scheme 6].
[0452] [Reaction Equation 6]
[0453]
[0455] The intermediate compound of the present invention was synthesized using the solid-phase amino acid synthesis method (Umbarger. HE, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 1978, 47, 533-606). The C-terminal initiation of the compound was 2-chlorotritylchloride resin (100-200 mesh), 1% DVB Novabiochem ®To prepare a compound consisting of a COOH carboxyl group terminus, Fmoc-L-Lys [Oct-(OtBu)-Glu-(OtBu)-AEEA-AEEA-OH] and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) were added to a glass vial using (100 mg, 1.33 mmol / g) and stirred for 30 to 120 minutes, then the reaction was terminated after washing 3 times with a methyl alcohol (MEOH) / dichloromethane (DCM) / N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) (17 / 2 / 1, v / v) solution. After the reaction was completed, the resin was transferred to a Torviq reaction vessel polypropylene syringe and washed twice each using dimethylformamide (DMF), methyl alcohol (MeOH), dichloromethane (DCM), and finally dimethylformamide (DMF).
[0456] For the second step amide bonding, the reaction was carried out twice for 10 minutes each at room temperature using dimethylformamide (DMF) (1 mL / 100 mg resin) with 20% (v / v) piperidine added for the Fmoc protecting group removal reaction, followed by washing the resin twice each with dimethylformamide (DMF), methyl alcohol (MeOH), dichloromethane (DCM), and finally dimethylformamide (DMF), after which hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and O-(benzotriazole-1-yl)- N,N,N',N' -Tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (O -(Benzotriazol-1-yl)- N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), and Fmoc-Glu-(OtBu) were stirred in a dimethylformamide (DMF) solution for 2 hours. The reaction-completed resin was washed twice each using dimethylformamide (DMF), methyl alcohol (MeOH), dichloromethane (DCM), and finally dimethylformamide (DMF). The amide synthesis step in the next stage was also synthesized using N10-(Trifluoroacetyl)pteroic acid in the same manner as the peptide synthesis step in the second stage, and was completed through the washing process described above.
[0457] After the reaction was completed, 1 mL of dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 2% hydrazine was added to the N-trifluoroacetyl protecting group to complete the deprotection reaction, and the compound bound to the crude resin obtained through the washing process above was reacted for 30 minutes using a dichloromethane (DCM) solution containing 2% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to separate the compound from the resin, and then the compound was precipitated with cooled diethyl ether to obtain the intermediate compound 2-2 of the title.
