Abstract
Description
A homocamptothecin antibody-drug conjugate, preparation method and application thereof
[0001] This application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 2023116270832, filed November 30, 2023. This application incorporates the entirety of the aforementioned Chinese Patent Application. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a homocamptothecin antibody-drug conjugate, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0003] Camptotheca (CPT) is a pentacyclic alkaloid isolated from the bark and stem of the Chinese tree Camptotheca acuminata. It inhibits topoisomerase I, leading to cell death. Due to its cytotoxic mechanism and broad-spectrum antitumor activity, research has focused on developing clinical analogs of CPT.
[0004] An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is a complex in which a cytotoxic small molecule drug is coupled to a monoclonal antibody through a rationally constructed linker. It can selectively deliver effective cytotoxic drugs into tumors, thereby increasing the drug's targeting, improving efficacy, and reducing toxic side effects. Recently, camptothecin compounds have been applied as small molecules in some antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). For example, SN38 and DXd are used as warhead molecules in the marketed ADC drugs Trodelvy and Enhertu, respectively. Patent applications WO2020063676 and CN 112125915 have been modified on the compound of DXD. However, compared to traditional camptothecin, homocamptothecin (hCPT) compounds with a β-hydroxylactone ring structure retain high anti-tumor activity (Bailly, C. Crit. Rev. Oncol. Hematol. 2003, 45, 91), and diflomotecan has stronger Topo I inhibitory activity than camptothecin (Kroep, JR; Gelderblom, H. Expert. Opin. Investig. Drugs 2009, 18, 69). However, due to the lack of suitable conjugation sites, its application in ADCs has not yet been seen. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing technical limitations of homocamptothecin derivatives, which cannot be conjugated, and to develop novel homocamptothecin antibody-drug conjugates. The antibody-drug conjugates provided by the present invention have excellent cytotoxic activity and can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells. The antibody-drug conjugates provided by the present invention also have excellent in vivo anti-tumor activity and can significantly inhibit tumor growth.

[0159] Example 5: Synthesis of compounds HER2-ADC1 to HER2-ADC7
[0160] At 37°C, a solution of 0.05M PBS buffer solution (pH = 6.5; 10.0 mg / mL, 1.0 mL, 67.6 nmol) of the antibody Trastuzumab (HER2 antibody, CAS: 180288-69-1) purchased from Hangzhou Haoyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was added with a prepared aqueous solution of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) (10 mM, 37.2 μL, 372 nmol). The mixture was placed in a water bath shaker and shaken at 37°C for 3 hours before stopping the reaction. The reaction solution was cooled to 25°C in a water bath. Compound III-1 (1.45 mg, 1014 nmol) was dissolved in 50 μL DMSO and added to the above reaction solution. The mixture was placed in a water bath shaker and shaken at 25°C for 3 hours before stopping the reaction. The reaction solution was desalted and purified using a Sephadex G25 gel column (mobile phase: 0.05 M PBS buffer, pH 6.5, containing 0.001 M EDTA) to obtain the conjugate HER2-ADC1 in PBS buffer (1.1 mg / mL, 7.5 mL), which was stored at 4°C. SEC-HPLC analysis revealed a purity of 96.68%, and the average drug loading calculated by RP-HPLC was p = 7.8.
[0161] Referring to the same synthesis method, III-1 was replaced with III-2, III-3, III-4, III-5, III-6, III-7, and MC-GGFG-DXD (CAS No. 1599440-13-7, purchased from Shanghai Xiyao Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.) and coupled with the antibody Trastuzumab to obtain the corresponding conjugates: HER2-ADC2 (DAR=7.7), HER2-ADC3 (DAR=7.7), HER2-ADC4 (DAR=7.8), HER2-ADC5 (DAR=8.0), HER2-ADC6 (DAR=8.0), HER2-ADC7 (DAR=7.8), and HER2-GGFG-DXD (DS-8201, DAR=7.9).
[0162] Biological evaluation
[0163] Experimental Example 1. Determination of the inhibitory activity of compounds on tumor cell proliferation
[0164] The effects of homocamptothecin derivatives II-1, II-2, II-3, II-4, II-5, II-6, and DXd (CAS No. 1599440-33-1, purchased from Shanghai Xiyao Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.) on tumor cell proliferation were evaluated using the SRB assay. Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded into 96-well culture plates at the appropriate concentrations and cultured overnight with 100 μL of complete medium per well. Compounds were added at varying concentrations, with triplicate wells set up for each concentration. Positive control wells without compound treatment and negative control wells without cells were also included. Cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO₂ for 72 hours. After drug treatment, the inhibitory effect of the compounds on cell proliferation was assessed using sulforhodamine B (SRB) protein staining. The specific steps were as follows: the culture medium was decanted, the cells were fixed with 10% trichloroacetic acid, incubated at 4°C for 1 hour, washed five times with distilled water, and dried in an oven. Add 100 μL / well of a 4 mg / ml SRB solution prepared in 1% glacial acetic acid and stain at room temperature for 15 minutes. Remove the supernatant, wash five times with 1% glacial acetic acid, and dry in an oven. Finally, add 150 μL / well of Tris solution, shake to mix, and measure the OD at 560 nm using a SpectraMax 190 full-wavelength microplate reader. Calculate the inhibitory rate of the compound on cell proliferation using the following formula:
[0165] Inhibition rate (%) = [1-(OD of drug-administered well-OD of negative control well) / (OD of positive control well-OD of negative control well)] x 100%.
[0166] The cell lines used in this screening are shown in Table 1, and the results of the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation by compounds II-1, II-2, II-3, II-4, II-5, II-6 and DXD are shown in Table 2.

[0168] Table 2. Effects of compounds on tumor cell proliferation
[0169] Experimental Example 2. Method for testing the tumor cell proliferation ability of HER2-ADC1-ADC7 and HER2-GGFG-DXD:
[0170] After digestion, resuspend NCI-N87 cells and count them. Centrifuge and remove the supernatant, then adjust the cell density. Count the cells using a cell counter. Aspirate 20 μL of the cell suspension and mix with 20 μL of VisStain AOPI staining solution. Count the cells using a 20 μL aliquot. Plate the cells in a 96-well cell culture plate, adding 180 μL per well to seed 1000 or 2000 cells per well. Gently tap to mix, and incubate the cell culture plate at 37°C for 16 hours. Dilute the compound in RPMI1640 medium / 10% FBS, adding 20 μL to each well to a maximum concentration of 100 nM. Plate 10 points with 3-fold dilutions. For a vehicle control using DMSO, add 20 μL of RPMI1640 medium / 10% FBS to the blank. Gently tap to mix, and incubate the cell culture plate at 37°C for 7 days. After 7 days of culture, remove the cell plate from the incubator, aspirate the culture medium, add 20 μL of culture medium, and then add 20 μL of CTG to each well. Oscillate on a shaker for 5 minutes, let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and transfer 30 μL of the reaction solution to a Viewplate-96white, white, clear-bottomed microtiter plate for data analysis using an EnVision plate reader.
[0171] Calculation formula: The inhibition rate (IR) of the test antibody was calculated using the following formula: IR (%) = (1 – (RLU antibody – RLU blank control) / (RLU vehicle control – RLU blank control)) * 100%. The inhibition rate at different antibody concentrations was calculated in Excel, and inhibition curves were plotted and relevant parameters were calculated using GraphPad Prism software. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0172] Table 3. Effects of ADC on the proliferation of NCl-N87 tumor cells
[0173] Experimental Example 3. Anti-tumor efficacy test of HER2-ADCs in NOG mouse subcutaneously transplanted NCI-N87 cell animal model:
[0174] In this study, NCI-N87 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into NOG mice to determine the anti-tumor effect of HER2-ADCs.
[0175] NOG mice: Female NOG mice (6 weeks old) were purchased from Beijing Weitonglihua Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. The mice were acclimated for 7 days after arrival before the study began.
[0176] Cells: Human gastric cancer NCI-N87 cells (ATCC source, catalog number CRL-5822) were routinely subcultured according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were resuspended in serum-free medium and the cell density was adjusted. On day 0, the cell suspension was subcutaneously inoculated into the right axilla of female NOG mice to establish the NCI-N87 tumor-bearing mouse model.
[0177] Dosage:
[0178] On the 10th day after tumor cell inoculation, the tumor volume of each mouse was detected, and mice with a tumor volume of 130 mm were selected. 3 ~250mm 3 Mice within the range were evenly divided into groups according to tumor volume (5 mice per group) and administered on the 11th day after inoculation, respectively, with negative control antibody (human IgG Control, source: Hangzhou Haoyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number: HSP067-F1), positive control antibody Trastuzumab (HER2 antibody, CAS: 180288-69-1, purchased from Hangzhou Haoyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and positive controls HER2-GGFG-DXd, HER2-ADC3 and HER2-ADC5. During the administration period, the changes in tumor volume and body weight of mice in each group were monitored at a frequency of 2 times / week for 3 consecutive weeks. Body weight and tumor volume were measured before each administration. Tumor volume inhibition rate (TGI%) was calculated on day 30 after inoculation using the following formula: TGI (%) = [1-(Ti-T0) / (Vi-V0)] × 100; where Ti: mean tumor volume of the administration group, T0: mean tumor volume of the administration group on day D0, Vi: mean tumor volume of the isotype control group, and V0: mean tumor volume of the isotype control group on day D0. Tumor volume measurement: The long diameter (a) and wide diameter (b) of the tumor were measured using a vernier caliper. Tumor volume was calculated using the following formula: TV = 1 / 2 × a × b 2 Body weight was measured using an electronic balance.
[0179] The dosage and method of administration are shown in Table 4.
[0180] Table 4. Dosage study design
[0181] As shown in Table 5 and Figure 1, on the 30th day after inoculation, the tumor volume inhibition rate of the positive control antibody HER2-GGFG-DXd was 107.03%; HER2-ADC3 and HER2-ADC5 also significantly inhibited tumor growth at a dose of 4 mg / kg, with tumor volume inhibition rates of 115.16% and 114.52%, respectively.
[0182] Table 5. Inhibitory effect of ADC on tumor growth in vivo on day 23
[0183] Note: P value is compared with negative control antibody
[0184] The above experiments showed that HER2-ADC3 and HER2-ADC5 significantly inhibited the growth of tumors in the NCI-N87 cell animal model transplanted subcutaneously in NOG mice, and their efficacy was better than that of the control HER2-GGFG-DXD, and had no significant effect on the body weight of NOG mice (Figure 2).
