Abstract
Description
Bifunctional linker compound, antibody-drug conjugate, and preparation method and application thereof
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2023109887077, filed on August 8, 2023, and cites the full text of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of antibody-drug conjugates. Specifically, the present invention provides a series of drug-bifunctional linker compounds, drug-antibody conjugates, and preparation methods and applications thereof. Background Art
[0003] Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are a new and effective targeted drug consisting of three components: an antibody, a linker, and a toxin. The toxin (payload) is the key component for drug efficacy, while the antibody plays a crucial role in targeting. The linker not only connects the two but also influences the ADC's stability, drug release mechanism, and antibody conjugation method.
[0004] Traditional ADC products utilize two conjugation methods: amide bond formation between a lysine (Lys) on the antibody and a carboxylic acid group on the payload-linker, or Michael addition of a maleimide linker to eight cysteines in four disulfide bonds within the reduced antibody. Consequently, most marketed ADCs with a drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of ~4 are mixtures of average DAR values derived from random conjugation, rather than homogeneous conjugates.
[0005] Summary of the Invention
[0006] Through extensive research, the inventors have surprisingly discovered a series of bifunctional linker compounds that can crosslink with the sulfhydryl groups adjacent to cysteine residues in reduced antibodies to form uniform antibody-drug conjugates. These bifunctional linker-antibody conjugates (ADCs) not only improve drug stability but also enhance efficacy, possessing significant application value in tumor treatment.
[0007] Bifunctional linkers can simultaneously connect to two chemical functional groups, such as the sulfhydryl groups of two cysteines formed by reducing a pair of disulfide bonds. Therefore, the sulfhydryl groups of eight cysteines formed by reducing four pairs of disulfide bonds can be saturated with four bifunctional linkers to form a site-specific, quantitative antibody-drug conjugate.
[0008] One aspect of the present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer or prodrug thereof.
[0009] Another aspect of the present invention provides a drug-antibody conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0010] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a drug-antibody conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0011] Another aspect of the present invention provides a bifunctional linker compound.
[0012] Another aspect of the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions.
[0013] Another aspect of the present invention provides the use of the above-mentioned drug-antibody conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the preparation of a drug for treating cancer.
[0014] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for treating cancer, comprising the step of administering to a patient in need thereof a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer or prodrug thereof, a drug-antibody conjugate of the present invention, a bifunctional linker compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention.
[0015] The present invention can not only prepare antibody-drug conjugates with improved homogeneity but also enhance the structural stability of the antibody. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] I. Definition
[0021] The term "antibody" as used herein is used in the broadest sense and specifically encompasses monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, dimers, multimers, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) and antibody fragments, as long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. Antibodies can be murine, human, humanized, chimeric or derived from other species. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that can recognize and bind to specific antigens. Target antigens typically have multiple binding sites, also known as epitopes, which are recognized by CDRs (complementary determining regions) on a variety of antibodies. Each antibody that specifically binds to a different epitope has a different structure. Therefore, an antigen can have more than one corresponding antibody. Antibodies include full-length immunoglobulin molecules or immunologically active portions of full-length immunoglobulin molecules, i.e., molecules that contain antigen binding sites that immunospecifically bind to a target antigen or a portion thereof, including but not limited to cancer cells or cells that produce autoimmune antibodies associated with autoimmune diseases.
[0022] As used herein, the term "antibody fragment" includes a portion of a full-length antibody, typically its antigen-binding or variable region. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; minibodies, fragments produced by Fab expression libraries, anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies, CDRs (complementarity determining regions), and epitope-binding fragments of any of the antibodies described herein that immunospecifically bind to a cancer cell antigen, a viral antigen, or a microbial antigen, single-chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
[0023] The term "monoclonal antibody" used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., except for the possible naturally occurring mutations that may exist in a small amount, the individual antibodies constituting the population are identical. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, directed against a single antigenic site. In addition, unlike polyclonal antibody preparations comprising different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single determinant on the antigen. In addition to specificity, the advantage of monoclonal antibodies is that their synthesis is not contaminated by other antibodies. The modifier "monoclonal" indicates that the antibody is a characteristic obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population and should not be construed as needing to produce the antibody by any ad hoc method. For example, the monoclonal antibody used according to the present invention can be prepared by first using a hybridoma method, or can be prepared by a recombinant DNA method. Monoclonal antibodies can also be separated from phage antibody libraries.
[0024] The monoclonal antibodies herein include, in particular, "chimeric" antibodies, in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is identical or homologous to the corresponding sequence in an antibody from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain is identical or homologous to the corresponding sequence in an antibody from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, as long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. The chimeric antibodies of interest herein include "primatized" antibodies comprising variable domain antigen-binding sequences derived from non-human primates (e.g., Old World monkeys, apes, etc.) and human constant region sequences.
[0025] The term "chimeric" antibody as used herein refers to an antibody in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chains is derived from a specific source or species, while the remainder of the heavy and / or light chains is derived from a different source or species. The term "intact antibody" as used herein refers to an antibody comprising a VL domain and a VH domain, as well as a light chain constant domain (CL) and a heavy chain constant domain, CH1, CH2, and CH3. The constant domain may be a native sequence constant domain (e.g., a human native sequence constant domain) or an amino acid sequence variant thereof. An intact antibody may have one or more "effector functions," which refer to those biological activities attributable to the Fc constant region of an antibody (a native sequence Fc region or an amino acid sequence variant Fc region). Examples of antibody effector functions include C1q binding; complement dependent cytotoxicity; Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); phagocytosis; and downregulation of cell surface receptors (such as B cell receptors and BCRs).
[0026] The term "antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)" used in this application refers to a small molecule drug with biological activity connected to a monoclonal antibody through a chemical link. The monoclonal antibody acts as a carrier to transport the small molecule drug into target cells.
[0027] As used herein, the term "bifunctional linker" refers to a structure that can simultaneously connect two chemical functional groups (specifically, an antibody and a cytotoxic drug moiety). This structure comprises a group that connects to the antibody and a group that connects to the cytotoxic drug moiety, and its specific structure is shown as M described below.
[0028] The term "spacer unit E" used in this application is also called a self-immolatIIIe structure, which is a linking group located between L and D. The spacer unit (E) is selected from one of p-aminobenzyl carbonate amide (PAB carbamate), p-aminobenzyl carbonate diester (PAB carbonate), hemiaminal and methylenediamine.
[0029] The term "spacer unit F" used in this application refers to a connecting group located between the M and the L, and the spacer unit F is -NH-(CH2CH2-O) q -CH2CH2-C(=O)- or a single bond, wherein q represents an integer of 1 to 6.
[0030] As used herein, the term "cytotoxic drug moiety," also referred to as a "small molecule drug," refers to a compound that has a tumor cell-killing effect. Examples of the cytotoxic drug moiety include at least one of an anti-tubulin agent, a DNA intercalator, a DNA topoisomerase inhibitor, a DNA synthesis inhibitor, an RNA polymerase inhibitor, a splicesome inhibitor, a proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC), and an immunomodulator.
[0031] Immunomodulators include but are not limited to immunosuppressants and agonists, and their targets include PD-1 / PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, LAG-3, IDO, TIM3, TIGIT, CD47, SIRPα, 4-1BB, CSF-1 / CSF1R, GITR, OX40, CD40, CD27, CD28, B7H4, B7H3, TGFβ, BTLA, VISTA, ICOS, CD39, CD73, A2AR, KIR and NKG2A, etc.; as well as cell therapies related to immunotherapy.
[0032] The small molecule drugs used in this application can be asymmetric, for example, having one or more stereoisomers. Unless otherwise indicated, all stereoisomers are included, such as enantiomers and diastereomers. The stereoisomers include geometric isomers (such as cis, trans structures) and optical isomers (such as enantiomers), and are therapeutic substances composed of monomers, racemates, racemic mixtures and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds containing asymmetric carbon atoms in this application can be separated in optically pure form or racemic form. Optically pure forms can be resolved from racemic mixtures or synthesized by using chiral raw materials or chiral reagents. Racemates, diastereomers, and enantiomers are all included within the scope of this application.
[0033] The small molecule drugs used in this application also include tautomers, which are formed when a single bond is exchanged with an adjacent double bond accompanied by the migration of a proton.
[0034] The term "precursor" as used herein refers to a compound that, after being administered into the human body via an appropriate route, undergoes metabolism or simple chemical changes in the patient's body to transform into the compound of the present invention, as contained in the general formula (I), and the corresponding salt. Precursors of compounds include, but are not limited to, various carboxylates, carbonates, phosphates, sulfates, sulfonates, amino acid esters, gluconates, and various amides, acetals, hemiacetals, and carbonic acid amides.
[0035] As used herein, numerical ranges refer to the individual integers within the given range. For example, "C1-C6" means that the group can have 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms, or 6 carbon atoms; "C3-C6" means that the group can have 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms, or 6 carbon atoms.
[0036] When any variable (such as R n ) occurs more than once in a compound's composition or structure, its definition at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 1-5 R, the group may be optionally substituted with up to 5 R, with each occurrence of R being an independent choice. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and / or variants thereof are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0294] Effect Example 2: In vivo tumor growth inhibition activity of ADC
[0295] ADC in vitro inhibitory activity test method:
[0296] Human pancreatic cancer Her2 low-expressing CFPAC-1 cells and breast cancer MCE-7 cells were cultured in monolayer in vitro. When the cell saturation reached 80%-90%, they were digested with trypsin-EDTA, centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended in PBS and the cell suspension was adjusted to an appropriate concentration. The cells (2-10×10 6 cells / 0.1 mL) were subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c nude mice, and the animals and the growth of the transplanted tumors were observed regularly. 3 The mice were randomly divided into two groups according to tumor volume and body weight: a vehicle control group (or a vehicle group, injected with normal saline) and an ADC-treated group (dissolved in normal saline), with 6 animals in each group. The drug was administered intravenously every 7 days for 2 times (the first dose was recorded as Day 1, and the second dose was recorded on Day 7, with a dose of 2 mg / kg or 5 mg / kg). The long diameter a (mm), short diameter b (mm) of the tumor and the body weight of the mice were measured with a vernier caliper twice a week, and the tumor volume (V) was calculated according to the following formula: V = 1 / 2 × a × b 2 (mm 3), where a and b represent tumor length and width, respectively. A growth curve was plotted, and the tumors were removed and weighed. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism software based on the data of tumor volume and weight of tumor-bearing mice at the end of the experiment to obtain the tumor inhibition results (Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4). HS627-Dxd was used as a control. Its structural formula is as follows:
[0297] n=8; Main evaluation indicators:
[0298] Tumor growth inhibition (TGI):
[0299] TGI (%) = [1-(avT i-0 / avC i-0 )]×100%; where avT i-0 is the average tumor volume of the dosing group on a specific day, minus the average tumor volume of the dosing group on the day dosing was started; where avCi-0 is the average tumor volume of the vehicle control group on a specific day, minus the average tumor volume of the vehicle control group on the day dosing was started.
[0300] Table 2 Grouping and drug administration settings
[0301] Tumor inhibition rate: The CFPAC-1 model was calculated based on the tumor volume at day 42; the MCF-7 model was calculated based on the tumor volume at day 35.
[0302] As can be seen from the results, the exemplary ADC compounds of the present invention, Entry 2 (DAR2), Entry 5 (DAR4), Entry 8 (DAR4), Entry 17 (DAR4), Entry 18 (DAR2+4), and Entry 24 (DAR2+4), all showed excellent tumor inhibitory effects in pancreatic cancer and breast cancer tumor models.
