Description
Antibody-drug conjugate containing quaternary ammonium salt and its medical use
[0001] Cross-references
[0002] This application is based on the application with CN application number 202410145541.7 and application date February 1, 2024, and claims its priority. The disclosed content of the CN application is hereby introduced as a whole into this application. Technical Field
[0003] The present application belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and specifically relates to an antibody-drug conjugate containing a quaternary ammonium salt, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody-drug conjugate, an intermediate for preparing the antibody-drug conjugate, and the use of the antibody-drug conjugate for treating and / or preventing diseases or conditions. Background Art
[0004] Immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment. Immunotherapy drugs are included in the guidelines for different types of cancer and have been tried in both adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatments. Current research focuses on identifying targets that may trigger or enhance anti-tumor immune responses. The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) receptor is an adaptor protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum. It exists as a dimer with its C-terminus located in the cytoplasm. It participates in the immune response through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway. Its activation can effectively induce the intracellular release of type I interferon, thereby exerting an immune effect to effectively inhibit tumor cells (Nature, 2008, 455, 674-678). STING agonists are one of the current hot spots in anti-tumor research, and many drugs have entered clinical research. In 2018, Professor Ramanjulu's team at the world-renowned pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline discovered a novel immune agonist, diABZI, which exhibits improved stability, tissue penetrance, and efficacy compared to traditional cyclic dinucleotide stimulators (Nature. 2018 Dec;564(7736):439-443). Although STING agonists have been shown to have promising anti-tumor and antiviral effects, their use in human clinical trials is currently limited to intratumoral injection due to the potential for immunotoxicity associated with systemic administration (especially high-dose administration).
[0005] Traditional antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) organically combine monoclonal antibodies and cytotoxins, combining the advantages of both antibodies and cytotoxic drugs, with the characteristics of strong targeting, high cytotoxicity, low toxic side effects, and long degradation half-life. ADCs structurally consist of three components: an antibody, a small molecule cytotoxin, and a linker. The role of the antibody is to achieve targeting, the role of the cytotoxin is to kill target cells, and the role of the linker is to achieve an organic combination of the antibody and cytotoxin structures, forming an organic whole. Studies have shown that compared with small molecule drugs, the targeting efficiency of ADCs is increased by more than 100 times (Clinical Cancer Research, 2015, 21(22): 5131-5138). Therefore, as a platform technology, ADCs have great advantages in targeted therapy. The FDA has approved 15 ADC drugs for marketing, including Mylotarg, Adcetris, Kadcyla, Besponsa, Lumoxiti, Polivy, Padcev, and Enhertu. There are more than 100 ADCs in clinical research, showing great application potential in multiple fields such as tumors, infections, and immunity.
[0006] With the rapid development of ADC research, a variety of new drug conjugate forms continue to emerge, and immunostimulating antibody conjugate (ISAC) is a new drug conjugate form (Nat Cancer. 2021 Jan; 2 (1): 18-33). The structure of ISAC consists of antibodies, linkers and small molecule immune agonists (innate immune agents or regulators). ISAC uses the targeting of antibodies to specifically deliver small molecule immune agonists to the tumor site, and uses antigen-mediated endocytosis to enter the cell, cleaving and releasing small molecule immune agonists under the action of tissue proteases to exert drug efficacy. Compared with small molecule immune agonists, ISAC can target tumor cells or immune cells around tumor cells to achieve local immune effects and kill tumor cells. At the same time, it avoids the systemic immune effects caused by small molecule immune agonists and reduces the risk of immune factor storms.
[0007] In 2022, Wu et al. published a new ISAC: αEGFR-172 (Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 2022 Dec 6; 119(49): e2214278119), which uses a monoclonal antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as the antibody end and a CDN-type STING agonist: IMSA172 as the payload, both of which are coupled with a cleavable linker. In vivo studies have shown that αEGFR-172 can effectively activate the cGAS-STING pathway in cells overexpressing EGFR and effectively inhibit tumor growth in a mouse B16F10 tumor model. Although ISAC perfectly combines the precision of antibody targeting tumors with the killing potential of immune small molecules, it has important clinical value and application prospects, but it still faces challenges in terms of safety. In March 2023, Mersana's ISAC candidate drug XMT-2056 experienced treatment-related grade 5 (fatal) serious adverse events in a Phase I clinical trial, and the clinical study was stopped. The reason for the failure of XMT-2056 is that the ester linker it used is not stable enough in the circulatory system. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new connection technologies to promote the development of ISAC. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The inventors discovered that coupling antibodies, linkers and small molecule immunostimulants through quaternary ammonium salts can effectively enhance the stability of ISACs in the circulatory system, improve the solubility of effector molecules, and accurately deliver immunostimulants.

[0206] definition
[0207] As used herein, the term "linker" is a molecule with two reactive ends, one end of which can be coupled to a macromolecule (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, polypeptide, or protein that can specifically bind to a target), and the other end is used to couple to a small molecule active compound, such as a cytotoxin or an immunomodulator. The macromolecule coupling end of the linker is usually a site that can be coupled through the sulfhydryl group of the cysteine or the lysine amine group on the antibody, and the small molecule active compound coupling end of the linker is usually an active site that can be coupled through the sulfhydryl, amino, carboxyl, or hydroxyl group on the toxin molecule. When the term linker is used to describe a coupled linker, since the linker has reacted with one or both of the antibody and the cytotoxin to form a covalent bond, it may no longer include one or two reactive terminal reaction sites (e.g., a leaving group of a sulfhydryl reactive group, a leaving group of an amine reactive group).
[0208] As used herein, the term "immunomodulator" refers to substances that can modulate the immune system and have an activating or inhibitory effect on the body's immune response, including immunostimulants and immunosuppressants. Immunomodulators of particular interest in this application include STING agonists, glucocorticoids, and immunostimulatory cytokines.
[0209] As used herein, the term "cytotoxin" refers to molecules that are toxic to cancer cells upon release thereof. Toxins of particular interest in this application include methyl auristatin E (MMAE), auristatin, maytansinoids or their derivatives (e.g., maytansinoids, DM1, DM3, DM4), calicheamicin, duocarmycin, doxorubicin, camptothecin, or PBD-type cytotoxins.
[0210] As used herein, the term "antibody-drug conjugate" or "ADC" is a product formed by coupling multiple molecules (usually 1-8) of cytotoxins to an antibody molecule, each of which is coupled via a linker. The antibody conjugated to one or more cytotoxins is typically a monoclonal antibody selective for a specific antigen.
[0211] As used herein, the term "immunostimulatory antibody-drug conjugate" or "ISAC" is a drug conjugate. The structure of an ISAC consists of an antibody, a linker, and a small molecule immune agonist (innate immunity agent or modulator); the antibody is usually a monoclonal antibody that is selective for a specific antigen.
[0212] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule typically composed of two pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" (L) chain and one "heavy" (H) chain. Antibody light chains can be classified as kappa and lambda light chains. Heavy chains can be classified as μ, δ, γ, α, or ε, and define the antibody's isotype as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within the light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are connected by a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain also contains a "D" region of about 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (V H ) and heavy chain constant region (C H ). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (C H 1. C H 2 and C H 3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (V L ) and the light chain constant region (C L ). The light chain constant region consists of a domain C L The constant region of the antibody mediates the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. H and V L The V domains can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FRs). H and V LIt consists of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from amino terminus to carboxyl terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable region (V H and V L ) form antibody binding sites respectively. The allocation of amino acids to each region or domain follows the Kabat Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987 and 1991)), or the definition of Chothia & Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342: 878-883 or. The term "antibody" is not limited by any particular method for producing antibodies. For example, it includes, in particular, recombinant antibodies, monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies. The antibody can be an antibody of different isotypes, for example, IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 subtype), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE or IgM antibodies.
[0213] As used herein, the term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" refers to the amino acid residues in the variable region of an antibody that are responsible for antigen binding. The precise boundaries of these amino acid residues can be defined according to various numbering systems known in the art, such as the Kabat numbering system (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991), the Chothia numbering system (Chothia & Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342: 878-883) or the IMGT numbering system (Lefrance et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27: 55-77, 2003). For a given antibody, one skilled in the art will readily identify the CDRs defined by each numbering system. Furthermore, the correspondence between different numbering systems is well known to those skilled in the art (for example, see Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27: 55-77, 2003).
[0214] The CDRs contained in the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof of the present disclosure can be identified according to various numbering systems known in the art. In certain embodiments, the CDRs contained in the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof of the present disclosure are preferably identified by the Kabat, Chothia or IMGT numbering systems.
[0215] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody refers to a polypeptide comprising a fragment of a full-length antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind to the same antigen to which the full-length antibody is bound, and / or competes with the full-length antibody for specific binding to the antigen, and is also referred to as an "antigen-binding portion". See generally, Fundamental Immunology, Ch. 7 (Paul, W., ed., 2nd ed., Raven Press, NY (1989), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies can be produced by recombinant DNA technology or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. In some cases, antigen-binding fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fd, Fv, dAb and complementary determining region (CDR) fragments, single-chain antibodies (e.g., scFv), chimeric antibodies, diabodies, and polypeptides comprising at least a portion of an antibody sufficient to confer specific antigen-binding ability to a polypeptide.
[0216] As used herein, the term "Fd fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; the term "Fv fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody; the term "dAb fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of the VH domain (Ward et al., Nature 341:544-546 (1989)); the term "Fab fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains; the term "F(ab')2 fragment" means an antibody fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; the term "Fab' fragment" means one of the two Fab' fragments formed by reducing the F(ab')2 fragment to break the disulfide bond at the F(ab')2 hinge region.
[0217] In some cases, the antigen-binding fragment of an antibody is a single-chain antibody (e.g., scFv), in which the VL and VH domains are paired to form a monovalent molecule by a linker that enables them to be produced as a single polypeptide chain (see, e.g., Bird et al., Science 242:423-426 (1988) and Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883 (1988)). Such scFv molecules can have the general structure: NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable prior art linkers are composed of repeated GGGGS amino acid sequences or variants thereof. For example, a linker having the amino acid sequence (GGGGS)4 can be used, but variants thereof can also be used (Holliger et al. (1993), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448). Other linkers useful in the present disclosure are described by Alfthan et al. (1995), Protein Eng. 8:725-731, Choi et al. (2001), Eur. J. Immunol. 31:94-106, Hu et al. (1996), Cancer Res. 56:3055-3061, Kipriyanov et al. (1999), J. Mol. Biol. 293:41-56, and Roovers et al. (2001), Cancer Immunol.
[0218] In some cases, the antigen-binding fragment of an antibody is a diabody, i.e., a bivalent antibody, which is a small antibody fragment with two antigen-binding sites, comprising a heavy-chain variable domain (VH) and a light-chain variable domain (VL) connected thereto in the same polypeptide chain (VH-VL or VL-VH), in which the VH and VL domains are expressed on a single polypeptide chain, but with a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains of the same chain, thereby forcing the domains to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and create two antigen-binding sites (see, e.g., Holliger P. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444 6448 (1993), and Poljak RJ et al., Structure 2:1121 1123 (1994)).
[0219] Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies (e.g., the antibody fragments described above) can be obtained from a given antibody (e.g., the monoclonal antibodies ch13, Hu13H2L0, Hu13H2L3, Hu13H3L0, Hu13H3L3, and Hu13H3L5 provided herein) using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art (e.g., recombinant DNA technology or enzymatic or chemical cleavage methods), and the antigen-binding fragments of the antibodies can be screened for specificity in the same manner as for intact antibodies.
[0220] Herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, when referring to the term "antibody", it includes not only intact antibodies, but also antigen-binding fragments of antibodies.
[0221] As used herein, the term "VHH," also known as a nanobody (Nb), is a heavy chain single-domain antibody containing only a fragment of the VHH domain. It is composed of the variable region of the heavy chain of camelids (camels, llamas, alpacas, and their relatives). Nanobody crystals are 2.5 nm in diameter and 4 nm long, with a molecular weight of approximately 12-15 kDa.
[0222] As used herein, the term "Probody" is a recombinant antibody drug that relies on protease cleavage for activation. It is mainly composed of three modules: a monoclonal antibody with anti-cancer activity or a fragment of its variable region, a masking peptide connected to the N-terminus of the light chain (masking peptide, which blocks the binding of the antibody Fab region to the antigen), and an enzyme-cleavable polypeptide linker (spacer) connected between the polypeptide and the antibody. Probody can use traditional recombinant antibody production technology. The mechanism of action of Probody mainly utilizes the difference in protease activity between normal tissues and tumors, so as to maximize the activity of the drug in the tumor microenvironment rather than normal tissues. In normal tissues, Probody maintains an intact structure. Due to the presence of the masking peptide, the antibody cannot bind to the antigen and exert its effect and has a longer half-life. When Probody enters the tumor microenvironment, the protease therein will cut the linker and release the masking peptide, exposing the Fab region of the antibody to normally bind to the antigen.
[0223] As used herein, the terms "monoclonal antibody" and "monoclonal antibody" refer to an antibody or an antibody fragment from a group of highly homologous antibody molecules, that is, a group of identical antibody molecules except for natural mutations that may occur spontaneously. Monoclonal antibodies have high specificity for a single epitope on an antigen. Polyclonal antibodies are relative to monoclonal antibodies and usually contain at least two or more different antibodies, which usually recognize different epitopes on the antigen. Monoclonal antibodies can usually be obtained using the hybridoma technology first reported by Kohler et al. (Nature, 256:495, 1975), but can also be obtained using recombinant DNA technology (see, for example, USP 4,816,567).
[0224] As used herein, the term "chimeric antibody" refers to an antibody in which a portion of its light chain and / or heavy chain is derived from one antibody (which may be derived from a particular species or belong to a particular antibody class or subclass), and another portion of its light chain and / or heavy chain is derived from another antibody (which may be derived from the same or different species or belong to the same or different antibody class or subclass), but in any case, it still retains binding activity to the target antigen (USP 4,816,567 to Cabilly et al.; Morrison et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 81: 6851 6855 (1984)).
[0225] As used herein, the term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody or antibody fragment obtained by replacing all or part of the CDR region of a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) with the CDR region of a non-human antibody (donor antibody), wherein the donor antibody can be a non-human (e.g., mouse, rat, or rabbit) antibody with the desired specificity, affinity, or reactivity. In addition, some amino acid residues in the framework region (FR) of the recipient antibody can also be replaced with amino acid residues from the corresponding non-human antibody, or with amino acid residues from other antibodies, to further improve or optimize the performance of the antibody. For more details on humanized antibodies, see, for example, Jones et al., Nature, 321: 522 525 (1986); Reichmann et al., Nature, 332: 323 329 (1988); Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol., 2: 593 596 (1992); and Clark, Immunol. Today 21: 397 402 (2000).
[0226] As used herein, the term "multispecific antibody" refers to an antibody that has binding specificity for at least two different epitopes on the same antigen or different antigens. A multispecific antibody can be a full-length antibody or a fragment of such an antibody. The term "bispecific antibody" refers to an antibody that has binding specificity for two different antigens or that can recognize two different epitopes on a single antigen.
[0227] As used herein, the term "human antibody" or "fully human antibody" includes antibodies with variable regions and constant regions (if present) derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. Human antibodies may include amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo). However, the term "human antibody" does not include antibodies (i.e., humanized antibodies) in which CDR sequences derived from another mammalian species germline (e.g., mouse) are grafted onto human framework sequences. Fully human antibodies or human antibodies can be derived from transgenic mice carrying human antibody genes or from human cells.
[0228] As used herein, the terms "specific binding," "specificity," or "specific for" refer to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as an antibody and its antigen. In some embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen (or has specificity for an antigen) means that the antibody binds to the antigen with a specificity of less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than about 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 Affinity of M or less (K D ) binds to the antigen.
[0229] As used herein, the term "K D " refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, which is used to describe the binding affinity between the antibody and the antigen. The smaller the equilibrium dissociation constant, the tighter the antibody-antigen binding and the higher the affinity between the antibody and the antigen. Typically, antibodies (e.g., monoclonal antibodies ch13, Hu13H2L0, Hu13H2L3, Hu13H3L0, Hu13H3L3 and Hu13H3L5 of the present disclosure) have a dissociation equilibrium constant of less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than about 10 - 6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 M or less dissociation equilibrium constant (K D) binds to an antigen (e.g., protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7)), e.g., as determined using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in a BIACORE instrument.
[0230] As used herein, the terms "monoclonal antibody" and "mAb" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably; the terms "polyclonal antibody" and "polyclonal antibody" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably; the terms "polypeptide" and "protein" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. Furthermore, in this application, amino acids are generally represented by single-letter and three-letter abbreviations known in the art. For example, alanine can be represented by A or Ala.
[0231] As used herein, the term "antigen" refers to any substance that can induce an immune response in the body, that is, a substance that can be specifically recognized and bound by antigen receptors (TCR / BCR) on the surface of T / B lymphocytes, activate T / B cells, cause them to proliferate and differentiate, produce immune response products (sensitized lymphocytes or antibodies), and can specifically bind to corresponding products in vivo or in vitro.
[0232] As used herein, the term "polypeptide" refers to a chain of at least two consecutively linked amino acid residues, with no upper limit on the length of the chain. One or more amino acid residues in a polypeptide may contain modifications, such as, but not limited to, optionally substituted polysarcosine residues, optionally substituted glycosylated polyethylene glycol, glycosylation, phosphorylation, or disulfide bond modifications. A "protein" may comprise one or more polypeptides.
[0233] As used herein, the term "tautomer" refers to functional group isomers produced by the rapid movement of an atom in a molecule between two positions, such as keto-enol tautomers, imine-enamine tautomers, etc. If tautomers exist in the compounds of the present application, they may exist in the form of a single tautomer or a mixture thereof, preferably in the form of a more stable tautomer as the main component.
[0234] The compound represented by formula I or formula II of the present application contains The group, therefore, exists as imine-enamine tautomers and can also exist in the form of formula I', formula I'", formula I'", formula II', formula II", and formula II'".
[0235] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or excipient" refers to a carrier and / or excipient that is pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient, as is well known in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. Edited by Gennaro AR, 19th ed. Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Company, 1995). Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and / or excipients include, but are not limited to, pH adjusters, surfactants, ionic strength enhancers, diluents, agents that maintain osmotic pressure, agents that delay absorption, preservatives, and stabilizers. For example, pH adjusters include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffers. Surfactants include, but are not limited to, cationic, anionic, or nonionic surfactants, such as Tween-80. Ionic strength enhancers include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride. Preservatives include, but are not limited to, various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. Agents that maintain osmotic pressure include, but are not limited to, sugars, NaCl, and their analogs. Agents that delay absorption include, but are not limited to, monostearate and gelatin. Diluents include, but are not limited to, water, aqueous buffers (such as buffered saline), alcohols and polyols (such as glycerol), etc. Preservatives include, but are not limited to, various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as thimerosal, 2-phenoxyethanol, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, etc. Stabilizers have the meanings generally understood by those skilled in the art, and are capable of stabilizing the desired activity of the active ingredient in the drug, including, but not limited to, sodium glutamate, gelatin, SPGA, sugars (such as sorbitol, mannitol, starch, sucrose, lactose, dextran, or glucose), amino acids (such as glutamic acid, glycine), proteins (such as dried whey, albumin, or casein), or degradation products thereof (such as lactalbumin hydrolysate), etc.
[0236] As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to achieve, or at least partially achieve, a desired effect. For example, a prophylactic effective amount is an amount sufficient to prevent, arrest, or delay the onset of a disease; a therapeutic effective amount is an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the disease and its complications in a patient already suffering from the disease. Determining such an effective amount is well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art. For example, an effective amount for therapeutic use will depend on the severity of the disease being treated, the overall state of the patient's own immune system, the patient's general condition such as age, weight, and sex, the mode of administration of the drug, and any other concurrently administered therapies.
[0237] It should also be noted that the dosage and method of use of the compounds of this application depend on many factors, including the patient's age, weight, sex, natural health, nutritional status, the potency of the compound, time of administration, metabolic rate, severity of the condition, and the subjective judgment of the treating physician. The preferred dosage is between 0.001 and 1000 mg / kg body weight / day.
[0238] As used herein, the term "prevention" refers to a method implemented to prevent or delay the occurrence of a disease or condition or symptom (e.g., a tumor, a pathogen infection, a disease caused by a pathogen infection, a hematological disease, a metabolic disease, inflammation, an allergic disease, an autoimmune disease, a precancerous syndrome, a tumor metastasis, a cardiovascular disease) in a subject or to minimize its effects. As used herein, the term "treatment" refers to a method implemented to obtain a beneficial or desired clinical result. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the rate of disease progression, an improvement or alleviation of the disease state, and a regression or improved prognosis, whether detectable or undetectable. The amount of therapeutic agent that is effective in alleviating any particular disease symptom can vary depending on factors such as the patient's disease state, age, and weight, and the ability of the drug to elicit a desired response in the subject. Whether the symptoms of the disease are alleviated can be assessed by any clinical measurement that is typically used by a physician or other skilled healthcare provider to assess the severity or progression of the symptoms.
[0239] As used herein, the term "patient" refers to any human or non-human animal, particularly a human, receiving prophylactic or therapeutic treatment. For example, the antibodies, methods, and compositions described herein can be used to treat a subject suffering from cancer. The term "non-human animal" includes all vertebrates, such as mammals and non-mammals, such as non-human primates, sheep, dogs, cows, horses, cats, chickens, mice, rats, amphibians, reptiles, and the like.
[0240] As used herein, the term "about" is understood to mean within + / -20%, + / -18%, + / -15%, + / -12%, + / -10%, + / -9%, + / -8%, + / -7%, + / -6%, + / -5%, + / -4%, + / -3%, + / -2%, + / -1%, + / -0.5%, + / -0.4%, + / -0.3%, + / -0.2%, + / -0.1% of the stated value.

[0320] Example 5: Preparation of Antibody Conjugates II-11, II-12, and II-13 Containing Valyl-Alanine Linker-STING Agonist
[0321] In this example, compounds I-11, I-12, and I-13 prepared in Example 1 were coupled to an anti-HER2 humanized monoclonal antibody.
[0322] 1) Preparation of commonly used buffered saline solutions:
[0323] Buffer-1: Dissolve 3.11 g of L-histidine in 1 L of double-distilled water. Once completely dissolved, adjust the pH to approximately 5.50 (±0.05) with medical-grade glacial acetic acid. Sterilize the solution by filtration through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, bottle, and store at 4°C for a short period of time until ready for use.
[0324] Buffer-2: Dissolve 6.06 g of TRIS base and 0.93 g of EDTA-2Na in a solution, then adjust the volume to 100 mL. Dissolve 7.88 g of TRIS HCl and 0.93 g of EDTA-2Na in a solution, then adjust the volume to 100 mL. Add TRIS HCl to the TRIS base solution and adjust the pH to 8.50 (±0.05). Sterilize the solution by filtration through a 0.22 μm filter, then bottle and store at 4°C for short-term use.
[0325] Buffered saline solution-3 (buffer-3): Use a pipette to measure 1.715 mL of medical glacial acetic acid and dissolve it in 200 mL of double-distilled water. After thorough mixing, filter through a 0.22 μm filter membrane for sterilization, bottle and store at 4°C for short-term use.
[0326] 2) Antibody coupling reaction:
[0327] ① Replacement of pharmaceutical antibodies: The anti-HER2 humanized monoclonal antibody Herceptin (purchased from Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) used for conjugation contained pharmaceutical excipients such as 0.616 mg / ml histidine hydrochloride (monohydrate), 0.364 mg / ml L-histidine, 22.727 mg / ml trehalose, and 100 mg / ml Tween-20. To remove excipient interference, the frozen-thawed antibody stock solution was first slowly thawed at room temperature and then replaced with buffer 1 via a G25 dextran gel column. After replacement, the solution was concentrated by ultrafiltration and centrifugation (final concentration > 5 mg / mL), and its concentration was measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry.
[0328] ②Prepare the coupling reaction solution: Based on the desired amount of coupling antibody (1 eq), accurately pipette the antibody solution in Buffer-1 and add a sufficient amount of Buffer-1 to achieve an antibody concentration of approximately 10 mg / mL. Adjust the pH to approximately 6-8 with Buffer-2 and transfer the solution to a clean reaction vial using a pipette.
[0329] ③ Antibody reduction: Slowly stir the reaction solution in the vial (100 rpm) and add 2-5 eq of 2.87 mg / mL TCEP·HCl solution. After addition, slowly stir at room temperature and react for 60-180 min.
[0330] ④ Antibody Conjugation: Calculate the volume of organic solvent (DMAC or DMSO) needed to make up 5% to 15% of the total volume. Also calculate the mass of the ADC small molecule payload (linker-STING agonist) to be added. Typically, a slight excess of the small molecule payload (usually 8 eq) is required. This will then determine the desired concentration of the organic solvent for the payload. After accurately preparing the ADC small molecule payload solution, slowly add it dropwise to the reduced antibody reaction solution. Continue stirring gently at room temperature and allow the reaction to proceed for 0.5-5 hours, depending on the specific coupling conditions.
[0331] ⑤ Termination of the reaction: After the reaction solution reaches the predetermined coupling time, add an excess of a water-soluble small molecule N-acetylcysteine solution (1.63 mg / mL) containing a reducing thiol group, and continue the reaction with slow stirring for 30 minutes.
[0332] ⑥ Preliminary purification of the product: After the termination reaction of the coupling is completed, buffer-3 is added to adjust the pH of the reaction solution to about 5.50; the resulting reaction solution is filtered and then preliminarily purified using a G25 dextran gel column. The effluent of the front section (about 80%) is collected, concentrated again by ultrafiltration, sterile filtered and sample packaging is performed; except for some samples reserved for product analysis and stored at 4°C for short-term storage, the rest of the products are stored at -80°C until use.

[0342] 1) Preparation of azide-modified antibodies: Antibodies (26.25 mg, 1.75 × 10 -4 mmol) was added into a 5 mL EP tube, and the compound 2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl 1-azido-3,6,9,12-tetraoxapentadecan-15-oate (0.54 mg, 1.4 × 10 -3 After stirring overnight at room temperature, the coupled product was replaced in PBS to prepare the azide-modified anti-HER2 humanized monoclonal antibody Herceptin. It is the anti-HER2 humanized monoclonal antibody Herceptin, where d represents the DAR value, which is approximately 2.
[0343] 2) Azide-modified anti-HER2 humanized monoclonal antibody (2.5 mg, 1.67 × 10 -5 mmol) was added to a 2 mL EP tube, and the DMA solution of compound I-41 (0.41 mg) prepared in Example 4 was added dropwise. Then, CuSO4 (0.13 mg, 5.01×10 -4 mmol), THPTA (0.87mg, 2.0×10 -3 mmol) and sodium ascorbate (1.49 mg, 7.51×10 -3 mmol) aqueous solution was added to the antibody, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. The coupled product was replaced in PBS to prepare the target antibody-drug conjugate II-41, where d represents the DAR value, which is about 2.
[0344] Example 9: DAR value detection of ISACs represented by formula II-11, II-12, II-13, II-21, II-22, and II-23
[0345] This example evaluated the DAR values (i.e., d in the structural formula) of the ISACs represented by Formulas II-11, II-12, II-13, II-21, II-22, and II-23. The DAR values of each conjugate were determined using hydrophobic interaction chromatography ( FIG1 ). The main peaks shown in the chromatogram represent conjugation with 0, 2, 4, and 6 small molecule drugs, respectively. The DAR values of the ISACs represented by Formulas II-11, II-12, II-13, II-21, II-22, and II-23 are shown in Table 3.
[0346] Table 3. DAR analysis results of antibody-drug conjugates
[0347] Example 10: Determination of the degree of polymerization of ISACs represented by formula II-11, II-12, II-13, II-21, II-22, and II-23
[0348] This example evaluated the degree of polymerization of the ISACs represented by Formulas II-11, II-12, II-13, II-21, II-22, and II-23 ( Figure 2 ). Size exclusion chromatography was used to examine the monomers and aggregates of each antibody conjugate. The results showed that the ISACs represented by Formulas II-11, II-12, II-13, II-21, II-22, and II-23 existed almost entirely in monomeric form (active monomer purity >95%).
[0349] Example 11: Stimulating Effects of ISAC Conjugates of Formula II-13 on Related Cytokines
[0350] In this example, the effectiveness of the ISAC shown in Formula II-13 in inducing immune factor gene expression regulation was evaluated by qPCR detection of changes in interferon beta (IFN-β) and chemokine ligand 10 (CXC motif chemokine ligand 10, CXCL10) mRNA in tumor cells after exposure to the test drug. The cell lines used in the test were HER2-positive SKOV3 and SKBR3 cell lines (purchased from ATCC). The test drugs were the control solvent (PBS), Compound 3, and the ISAC shown in Formula II-13. IFN-β is a marker that can be activated by cGAS-STING downstream activation signals, and CXCL10 is produced by type I interferon and serves as a marker that promotes the recruitment of immune cells to tumor tissue. The gene expression assessment of the above cytokines can be used to evaluate the degree of immune system activation of tumor tissue by the ADC.

[0360] ② Expand cells
[0361] The cells were passaged three times a week at a ratio of 1:4 in culture medium containing 10% FBS (heat inactivated) and 1% penicillin / streptomycin solution;
[0362] For passaged cells, first rinse adherent cells with a trypsin / EDTA solution (3 mL). Then, add trypsin / EDTA (3 mL, T75 flask) and swirl to evenly coat the cells. Incubate the culture at 37°C until the cells detach. Verify detachment under a microscope, inactivate the trypsin by adding an equal volume of cell culture medium, collect the detached cells, centrifuge at 200 g for 5 minutes, and resuspend in fresh culture medium.
[0363] ③Cell inoculation
[0364] Collect cells and count the cell number;
[0365] 100 μL of cell suspension with adjusted density was added to the designated 6-well cell culture plate. The final cell density was approximately 5,000-10,000 cells / well.
[0366] The cells were covered with a lid and placed in a 37°C 5% CO2 incubator for incubation for 24 h with an oxygen concentration of 20%.
[0367] ④Prepare compounds
[0368] The compound solution was serially diluted at a ratio of 1:3, and the initial maximum concentration of the test drug ISAC represented by Formula II-13 and Compound 3 was about 400 nM.
[0369] ④ Co-incubation of drugs and cells
[0370] Remove the medium from the 6 wells seeded with cells and add 150 μL of fresh medium to each well. Then, add 50 μL of the prepared test drug to the 96-well plate. Incubate the drug and cells in a 37°C, 5% CO₂, 0.1% O₂ incubator for 24 hours. Wash away the drug with fresh medium, and incubate the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO₂, 20% O₂ incubator for an additional 72 or 120 hours.
[0371] ⑤ Cell RNA extraction
[0372] RNA extraction: Wash the cells with PBS (three times), add Trizol to dissolve the sample, and let it stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, then add chloroform, shake for 30 seconds, and let it stand at room temperature for 5 minutes; centrifuge in a 4℃ centrifuge (12000rpm) for 15 minutes, transfer the upper aqueous phase to an EP tube, add isopropanol to mix, and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes; centrifuge again (4℃, 12000rpm, 10 minutes), remove the supernatant, and add 75% alcohol to resuspend the precipitate, centrifuge again (4℃, 12000rpm, 5 minutes) and remove the supernatant, and dry at room temperature for 15 minutes; add DEPC water preheated at 65℃ to dissolve the precipitate, and store the dissolved RNA in a -20℃ refrigerator for later use.
[0373] ⑥gDNA removal and RNA reverse transcription:
[0374] Take 1 μL of total RNA and mix it with 1 μL of gDNA Remover, 1 μL of Oligo Primer, 10 μL of 2×TS Reaction Mix, and 1 μL of TransScript RT / RI Enzyme Mix to a total volume of 20 μL. Make up the remaining volume with RNase-free water. Incubate the PCR tube at 42°C for 15 minutes. At this point, the RNA has been reverse transcribed into cDNA.
[0375] The experimental results show (Figure 3) that under the same conditions, the ISAC represented by Formula II-13 caused the upregulation of gene expression of two cytokines, and the effect was better than or equal to that of the free payload Compound 3. These results show that the ISAC provided by this application can induce the upregulation of gene expression of related immune factors and can effectively activate the immune response of tumor tissue.
[0376] Example 12: In vitro plasma stability evaluation of ISAC represented by formula II-13
[0377] To determine the stability of the conjugate in human plasma and PBS, the released free payload Compound 3 was dissolved in 50% human plasma and PBS, respectively, to prepare standard samples. The conjugate test samples were prepared in the same manner as the standard. Both samples were incubated at 37°C for 10 days, and aliquots were taken at predetermined time points (0, 12h, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10d). The concentration of the total free payload Compound 3 released from the conjugate was determined at different time points based on the Compound 3 standard curve established using LC-MS.
[0378] Referring to Figure 4, the test results show that after 10 days, the ISAC represented by Formula II-13 released 0.23% and 0.01% of Compound 3 in PBS and 50% plasma, respectively, indicating that the ISAC represented by Formula II-13 can remain stable in PBS and 50% plasma at 37°C.
[0379] Example 13: Pharmacological efficacy of ISAC represented by Formula II-41 in SKOV3 / THP-1 co-cultured cell line
[0380] The induction of the STING pathway in immune cells by the HER2-targeting ISAC of Formula II-41 was evaluated using a SKOV3 / THP1-IRF3-luciferase reporter cell co-culture assay. SKOV3 human ovarian cancer cells were seeded in 96-well CellBIND surface tissue culture plates (approximately 15,000 cells / well) and allowed to attach for 6 hours in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin / streptomycin. A series of ISAC dilutions (starting at 100 nM; three-fold serial dilutions in growth medium) was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes. THP1 dual reporter cells (approximately 30,000 cells / well) were then added to each well and incubated for a further 20 hours at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Cell culture supernatant (20 μL) from each incubation sample was added to the resuspended QUANTI-Luc (50 μL), and the luminescent signal was immediately measured using a SpectraMax M5 plate reader (Molecular Devices). EC was determined based on the dose-response curve. 50 value.
[0381] The experimental results are shown in Figure 5. The results show that the ISAC represented by formula II-41 can strongly activate the STING signal in THP-1 at very low doses. 50 =0.3nM.
[0382] Example 14: Study on the release of the compound represented by formula I-13 under the action of cathepsins
[0383] A 1 mM stock solution of the compound of Formula I-13 in DMA was mixed with a 1 mM stock solution of 2-mercaptoethanol in PBS at a volume ratio of 1:9 and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour to prepare a 100 μM stock solution of 2-mercaptoethanol-I-13. To 15 μL of 2-mercaptoethanol-I-13, 30 μL of CTSB (15 UN / mL) was added, followed by 105 μL of activity buffer (50 mM sodium acetate, 100 mM NaCl, 8 mM L-cysteine, 1 mM EDTA, pH 5.0). The mixture was mixed thoroughly and incubated in a 37°C incubator. Samples were collected at designated time points (t = 0, 1 h, 4 h, and 24 h), and 600 μL of methanol was added to the samples. The samples were centrifuged (12,000 rpm, 4°C, 20 min) to precipitate proteins. The supernatant was then analyzed by HPLC for the released STING agonist Compound 3 and the prototype compound of Formula I-13.
[0384] The experimental results are shown in Figure 6. Surprisingly, after 24 hours of incubation in 3UN CTSB, β-mercaptoethanol-I-13 remained almost entirely intact, with no significant release of Compound 3. This suggests that the dipeptide bond in the ISAC provided herein is not cleaved by cathepsins under standard conditions. Unlike conventional cleavable ISACs, the ISAC provided herein functions as a non-cleavable quaternary ammonium salt.
[0385] Example 15: Release study of the compound represented by formula I-41 in cell lysate
[0386] Collect SKBR3 (purchased from Wuhan Punosai Life Science Technology Co., Ltd.) about 1.5×10 6 Cells were collected in 1.5 mL EP tubes and centrifuged (1000 rpm, 4°C, 4 min). The culture medium was removed. 500 μL of RIPA lysis buffer (Product No. P0013B, Beyotime) was added to the collected cell sample, mixed thoroughly, and incubated on ice for 30 min before centrifugation (14000 rcf, 4°C, 15 min). 45 μL of the supernatant was mixed with 5 μL of a 100 μM DMSO stock solution of the compound represented by Formula I-41 and incubated in a 37°C incubator. Samples were taken at designated time points (0, 4 h, 24 h, and 48 h), and 150 μL of methanol was added to the sample. The sample was centrifuged (12000 rpm, 4°C, 20 min) to precipitate the protein. The supernatant was then analyzed by HPLC for the released STING agonist Compound 3 and the prototype compound represented by Formula I-41.
[0387] The experimental results are shown in Figure 7. Similar to those in Example 14, the results show that after incubation of the compound represented by Formula I-41 in cell lysate for 48 hours, the peak height and peak shape of the compound represented by Formula I-41 remained virtually unchanged, and no significant release of Compound 3 was observed. This indicates that the dipeptide bond in the ISAC provided herein is not cleaved by cathepsins under conventional conditions. Unlike traditional cleavable ISACs, it functions as a non-cleavable quaternary ammonium salt.
[0388] Example 16: In vivo efficacy study of ISAC represented by Formula II-13 in xenograft model
[0389] This example evaluated the in vivo efficacy of the ISAC represented by Formula II-13 in a xenograft animal model. The test drugs included II-13 (3 mg / mL), II-13 (6 mg / mL), a combination of Herceptin (6 mg / mL) and compound 3 (0.7 mg / mL), and PBS (control group).
[0390] Female BALB / c nude mice aged 6-8 weeks were purchased from SPF (Beijing) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The mice were housed in an SPF animal breeding center with 3 mice per cage. Animal research followed the ARRIVE guidelines. NCI-N87 cells (approximately 1×10 7 , purchased from ATCC) were subcutaneously inoculated into mice when the tumor size was approximately 120 mm 3 or 180mm 3 At the time of the study, mice carrying NCI-N87 cell xenografts were randomly divided into groups of 6 per group. Mice with NCI-N87 cell xenografts were administered via the tail vein once every 4 days for a total of 4 doses. Starting from day 0, tumor size was measured with a digital caliper and twice a week. The general condition of the animals (mental state, activity, hair color) was observed. The equation (0.5×L×W 2 ) Tumor volume was calculated, where L and W represent the length and width of the tumor, respectively. At the end of the experiment, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation.
[0391] The experimental results are shown in Figure 8. The results show that both dose groups of the ISAC represented by Formula II-13 can completely and continuously regress tumors, and the anti-tumor inhibitory activity shows a dose-dependent relationship, with significant differences in anti-tumor activity (P**** < 0.0001). In addition, the ISAC represented by Formula II-13, when administered at 3 mg / kg, has a payload dose of 0.35 mg / kg, which significantly improves the anti-tumor activity compared to the reported effective dose of Compound 3 for tumor inhibition of 1.5 mg / kg. At the same time, both dose groups of the ISAC represented by Formula II-13 showed anti-tumor activity superior to the combined administration group (Herceptin 6 mg / kg + Compound 3 0.7 mg / kg), which also demonstrates its superior efficacy to small molecules. In this trial, none of the experimental animals in the treatment group showed significant weight loss, preliminarily indicating that the targeting of the ISAC represented by Formula II-13 avoids systemic side effects of the payload and has a good safety profile.
[0392] Example 17: In vivo efficacy study of ISAC represented by Formula II-41 in a xenograft model
[0393] This example evaluated the in vivo efficacy of the ISAC represented by Formula II-41 in a xenograft animal model. The test drugs included II-41 (6 mg / kg), II-41 (3 mg / kg), II-41 (1 mg / kg), a combination of Herceptin (6 mg / kg) and compound 3 (0.7 mg / kg), and PBS (control group).
[0394] 6-8 week old C57BL / 6J female mice were purchased from Nanjing Jieyao Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu, China. All mice were housed in a specific pathogen-free environment, and all procedures were performed in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of the Institute of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (approval ethics numbers IMB-20240912D801 and IMB-20241018D801). In the in vivo experiments, E0771-HER2 tumor cells (2 × 10 6 The cells were injected subcutaneously into the right abdomen of C57BL / 6J mice. The tumor volume reached 80 mm 3 Dosing began with weekly intravenous injections of PBS, TZ, and dSA3 or II-41 (1, 3, and 6 mg / kg) for a total of two doses. Tumor growth was monitored and recorded every two days, and mouse body weights were recorded every three days. Tumor volume was calculated as π / 6 × tumor length × (tumor width)². At the end of the experiment, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation.
[0395] The experimental results are shown in Figures 9-11. The results show that compared with the control group, the three dose groups of ISAC represented by Formula II-41 can significantly inhibit tumors (P*** < 0.001), and the anti-tumor inhibitory activity shows a dose-dependent relationship. It is worth noting that the administration of 6 mg / kg of ISAC represented by Formula II-41 almost completely achieved complete regression of the tumor. At the same time, the three dose groups of ISAC represented by Formula II-141 all showed anti-tumor activity that was better than the mixed administration group (Herceptin 6 mg / kg + Compound 3 0.7 mg / kg), which also shows that ISAC represented by Formula II-41 is more effective than small molecules. In this experiment, none of the experimental animals in the treatment group showed significant weight loss. It is preliminarily shown that ISAC represented by Formula II-41 has a good tumor inhibition effect and good safety.
[0396] Example 18: Immune Memory Effect of ISAC Represented by Formula II-41 in a Xenograft Model
[0397] This example evaluated the immune memory effect of ISAC represented by formula II-41 in a xenograft animal model. The test drugs were II-41 (3 mg / kg), II-41 (1 mg / kg), and PBS (control group).
[0398] In the immune memory experiment, E0771-HER2 tumors were implanted on the right side. When the tumor size reached 50-60 mm 3 ISAC of formula II-41 was used for treatment, and the drug was administered once every 3 days for a total of 3 times. On the 10th day, the tumors in all ISAC-treated groups completely disappeared. All mice with tumors in the control group underwent surgical resection of the right side of the tumor (primary tumor) and were immediately sutured. On the 14th day, all mice were injected intravenously with 2×10 6 E0771-HER2 cells were implanted into the left side of the mouse to detect memory effects.
[0399] The experimental results are shown in Figures 12-13. Compared to the control group, the ISAC-treated groups, including the II-41 (3 mg / kg) and II-41 (1 mg / kg) groups, all demonstrated a significant immune memory effect. After the second tumor inoculation, tumor volumes were significantly lower than those in the PBS control group. Notably, the II-41 (3 mg / kg) group experienced virtually no tumor recurrence after the second inoculation. None of the experimental animals in the treatment groups showed significant weight loss. This example demonstrates that treatment with the II-41 ISAC in mice establishes an immune memory effect that effectively prevents tumor recurrence.
[0400] Example 19: Pharmacological efficacy of ISAC represented by Formula II-41 in SKOV3 / PBMC co-culture cell line
[0401] This example evaluated the tumor cell cytotoxicity of the ISAC represented by Formula II-41 by activating the STING pathway in human peripheral blood cells (PBMCs) using a co-culture assay using SKOV3-GFP cancer cells. The test drugs included II-41 (16 nM), II-41 (1.6 nM), II-41 (Fab-blocked, 160 nM), II-41 (Fc-blocked, 160 nM), compound 3 (160 nM), compound 3 (16 nM), and PBS (control group).
[0402] The IncuCyte Cancer Cell Killing Assay assesses cancer cell death in co-culture with immune cells. SKOV3-GFP cells were plated and incubated overnight. The following day, each well was incubated with the test substance for 20 minutes at 37°C, followed by the addition of PBMCs (2x the concentration of SKOV3-GFP cells). The plate was then placed in an IncuCyte Live Cell Analyzer in an incubator (37°C, 5% CO2) and scanned every 2 hours for 24 hours. The number of green objects (cancer cells) was quantified over time using IncuCyte S3 (version 2022B) software.
[0403] The experimental results are shown in Figure 14. Compared to the control group, the ISAC-treated groups, including the II-41 (16 nM) and II-41 (1.6 nM) groups, strongly activated PBMC cells and demonstrated strong cytotoxicity against SKOV3-GFP tumor cells (disappearance of green fluorescence). Notably, II-41 (1.6 nM) exhibited significantly greater tumor cell cytotoxicity at a concentration 100-fold lower than that of compound 3 (160 nM), II-41 (Fab-blocked, 160 nM), and II-41 (Fc-blocked, 160 nM). This demonstrates that the combined immune activation of the Fab and Fc-termini of the ISAC represented by Formula II-41 significantly outperforms small molecules in immune activation.
[0404] To address the systemic side effects associated with the use of immune agonists, this application explored cleavable ISACs and, for the first time, designed an ISAC targeting the novel STING agonist diABZI-STING-agonist (Compound 3). Systematic evaluation tests of ISAC (II-13), including in vitro stability, activation of downstream cGAS-STING pathway signals, regulation of gene expression of related immune factors, induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD), plasma stability, and in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in xenograft models, have demonstrated the potential for this type of drug delivery model. The cleavable linker-based ISAC exhibits in vitro stability and immunoactivity that initially meet the drugability requirements for ADCs, while also exhibiting significant in vitro and in vivo efficacy and safety at therapeutic doses.
