AI Technical Summary
Existing auristatin drug conjugates are unstable in the blood circulation in the body and are prone to premature toxin shedding, leading to drug resistance and toxic reactions. They also need to rely on cellular endocytosis to enter lysosomes for dissociation, which limits their therapeutic effects.
A new antibody-drug conjugate was designed, which can dissociate in the tumor microenvironment without the need for cellular endocytosis through a specific linker, and can break under specific circumstances using covalent bonds or cleavable linkers to achieve extracellular lysis of the toxin to kill tumor cells.
It improves the stability of the drug in the body, expands the therapeutic window, overcomes the drug resistance mechanism of traditional ADC, and enhances the killing effect on tumor cells.

Description
Antibody-auristatin drug conjugate and its use
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024103704626 filed on March 29, 2024, and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024116231705 filed on November 14, 2024. This application incorporates the entire contents of the aforementioned Chinese patent applications. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology and relates to an antibody-drug conjugate containing auristatin-type bioactive compound and a preparation method thereof, as well as its use in preventing and / or treating diseases related to abnormal cell activity, including but not limited to preventing and / or treating tumor diseases. Background Art
[0003] Auristatins are decapeptide derivatives isolated from the Indian Ocean sea hare. They inhibit tumor growth primarily by targeting tubulin, with activity approximately 1,000 times greater than that of traditional chemotherapy drugs. MMAE and MMAF are the two most commonly used auristatin compounds in ADC development. Currently, six marketed ADCs (Adcetris, Polivy, Padcev, Blenrep, Vedicizumab, and TIVDAK) use MMAE or MMAF as payloads. Over 40 ADCs using auristatin as a payload are in clinical development, accounting for over 50% of all ADCs under development.
[0004] Existing ADCs with auristatin derivatives as payloads generally bind to tumor cell surface antigens through antibody binding, followed by endocytosis into endosomes, and then conversion from endosomes to lysosomes. Lysosomal hydrolases then dissociate the bioactive molecule (toxin or payload) from the ADC. The dissociated bioactive molecule then enters the cytoplasm from the lysosomes and kills the tumor cells. After killing the tumor cells, the bioactive molecule that escapes can further kill surrounding tumor cells that do not express or express low levels of the antigen (the so-called bystander effect). Any change in this entire process can cause the ADC to develop drug resistance and lose its therapeutic effect, such as changes in antigen expression during treatment, weakened or even lost endocytosis, or changes in endosome or lysosome function.
[0005] In addition, the coupling of ADC drugs with auristatin derivatives as payloads that are currently on the market or in the clinical research stage is mainly achieved through the Michael addition reaction between the free thiol groups on the antibody and maleimide. However, there are many literature reports that 30% or more of the ADCs obtained by the thiol Michael addition method will undergo reverse Michael addition in the systemic circulation, resulting in premature shedding of toxins and toxic reactions.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to find an ADC that can be stable in the blood circulation system in the body, and at the same time, this ADC can kill tumors by extracellular lysis in the tumor microenvironment without the need for cellular endocytosis to dissociate and release toxins. This ADC will be able to overcome the various drug resistance mechanisms of traditional ADCs, expand the treatment window, and improve the treatment effect, and therefore will be of great significance in clinical treatment.

[0023] Detailed Description of the Invention
[0024] definition
[0025] Unless otherwise indicated, scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the laboratory procedures for cell culture, molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry, and immunology used herein are conventional procedures widely used in the relevant fields. To facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.
[0026] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is exemplified by organic acid addition salts formed from organic acids that form pharmaceutically acceptable anions, including but not limited to formates, acetates, propionates, benzoates, maleates, fumarates, succinates, tartrates, citrates, ascorbates, α-ketoglutarate, α-glycerophosphates, alkylsulfonates, or arylsulfonates; preferably, the alkylsulfonate is methylsulfonate or ethylsulfonate; and the arylsulfonate is benzenesulfonate or p-toluenesulfonate. Suitable inorganic salts may also be formed, including but not limited to hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, nitrates, bicarbonates, carbonates, sulfates, or phosphates.
[0027] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be obtained using standard procedures well known in the art, for example, by reacting a sufficient amount of a basic compound with a suitable acid affording a pharmaceutically acceptable anion.
[0028] As used herein, the term "stereoisomer" refers to an isomer formed due to at least one asymmetric center. In compounds with one or more (e.g., one, two, three, or four) asymmetric centers, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric mixtures, and individual diastereomers can be produced. Specific individual molecules can also exist as geometric isomers (cis / trans). Similarly, the compounds of the present invention can exist as mixtures of two or more structurally different forms in rapid equilibrium (commonly referred to as tautomers). Representative examples of tautomers include keto-enol tautomers, phenol-ketone tautomers, nitroso-oxime tautomers, imine-enamine tautomers, etc. It is understood that the scope of the present invention encompasses all such isomers or mixtures thereof in any proportion (e.g., 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%).
[0029] Solid lines (-), solid wedges, or dashed wedges may be used herein to depict carbon-carbon bonds of the compounds of the present invention. The use of solid lines to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is intended to indicate that all possible stereoisomers at that carbon atom are included (e.g., specific enantiomers, racemic mixtures, etc.). The use of solid or dashed wedges to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is intended to indicate that the indicated stereoisomers exist. When present in a racemic mixture, solid and dashed wedges are used to define relative stereochemistry, not absolute stereochemistry. Unless otherwise indicated, the compounds of the present invention are intended to exist as stereoisomers (including cis and trans isomers, optical isomers (e.g., R and S enantiomers), diastereomers, geometric isomers, rotational isomers, conformational isomers, atropisomers, and mixtures thereof). The compounds of the present invention may exhibit more than one type of isomerism and consist of mixtures thereof (e.g., racemic mixtures and diastereomeric pairs).
[0030] In the present invention, Indicates the connection point of the connected parts.
[0031] The compounds of the present invention may exist in the form of solvates (preferably hydrates), wherein the compounds of the present invention contain a polar solvent as a structural element of the crystal lattice of the compound, in particular water, methanol or ethanol. The amount of polar solvent, in particular water, may be present in a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric ratio.
[0032] For the purposes of this invention, pharmaceutical excipients refer to excipients and additives used in the production of pharmaceuticals and formulations. These substances, in addition to the active ingredient, have been rationally evaluated for safety and are included in pharmaceutical preparations. In addition to imparting shape, acting as a carrier, and enhancing stability, pharmaceutical excipients also perform important functions such as solubilization, dissolution enhancement, and sustained-release control. They are crucial components that may impact the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceuticals. Based on their source, they can be categorized as natural, semi-synthetic, or fully synthetic. According to their functions and uses, they can be divided into: solvents, propellants, solubilizers, cosolvents, emulsifiers, colorants, adhesives, disintegrants, fillers, lubricants, wetting agents, osmotic pressure regulators, stabilizers, glidants, flavoring agents, preservatives, suspending agents, coating materials, fragrances, anti-adhesives, antioxidants, chelating agents, penetration enhancers, pH regulators, buffers, plasticizers, surfactants, foaming agents, defoaming agents, thickeners, inclusion agents, humectants, absorbents, diluents, flocculants and deflocculants, filter aids, release retardants, etc. According to their route of administration, they can be divided into oral, parenteral, mucosal, transdermal or topical administration, nasal or oral inhalation administration, and ocular administration, etc. The same pharmaceutical excipient can be used in pharmaceutical preparations for different routes of administration and have different functions and uses.
[0033] The pharmaceutical composition can be prepared into various suitable dosage forms according to the route of administration, such as tablets, capsules, granules, oral solutions, oral suspensions, oral emulsions, powders, tinctures, syrups, injections, suppositories, ointments, creams, pastes, ophthalmic preparations, pills, implants, aerosols, powder sprays, sprays, etc. The pharmaceutical composition or suitable dosage form can contain 0.01 mg to 1000 mg of the compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or conjugate thereof, preferably 0.1 mg to 800 mg, preferably 0.5-500 mg, more preferably 0.5 to 350 mg, and particularly preferably 1-250 mg.
[0034] The pharmaceutical composition can be administered in the form of an injection, including an injection solution, sterile powder for injection, and concentrated solution for injection. Usable carriers and solvents include water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, non-volatile oils, such as monoglycerides or diglycerides, can also be used as solvents or suspending media. The pharmaceutical composition can be administered in the form of an infusion.
[0035] As used herein, the term "treat" generally refers to obtaining a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. This effect can be prophylactic, in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or its symptoms; and / or therapeutic, in terms of partially or completely stabilizing or curing a disease and / or causing side effects due to the disease. As used herein, "treat" encompasses any treatment of a disease in a patient, including: (a) preventing the onset of a disease or symptom in a patient who is susceptible to the disease or symptom but has not yet been diagnosed with the disease; (b) suppressing the symptoms of a disease, i.e., arresting its development; or (c) relieving the symptoms of a disease, i.e., causing the disease or symptom to regress.
[0036] In the present invention, the term "individual" includes humans and non-human animals. Exemplary human individuals include human individuals suffering from a disease (e.g., a disease described herein) (referred to as a patient) or normal individuals. The term "non-human animal" in the present invention includes all vertebrates, such as non-mammals (e.g., birds, amphibians, reptiles) and mammals, such as non-human primates, livestock, and / or domesticated animals (e.g., sheep, dogs, cats, cows, pigs, etc.).
[0037] As used herein, the term "effective dose" refers to an amount of an antibody drug conjugate, drug-linker conjugate, compound, or composition that, after administration, will alleviate to some extent one or more symptoms of the condition being treated.
[0038] In the present invention, the terms "antibody drug conjugate" and "ADC" refer to a substance obtained by linking a bioactive compound fragment (drug molecule) to an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments of the present invention, the bioactive compound fragment is connected to the targeting portion via a linker. The linker can be broken in a specific environment (such as a low pH environment in the cell) or under a specific action (such as the action of a lysosomal protease), thereby separating the bioactive compound fragment from the targeting portion or the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments of the present invention, the linker comprises a cleavable or non-cleavable unit, such as a peptide or a disulfide bond. In some embodiments of the present invention, the bioactive compound fragment is directly linked to the targeting portion or the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment through a covalent bond, and the covalent bond can be broken under a specific environment or action, thereby separating the bioactive compound fragment from the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment.
[0039] In the present invention, the terms "bioactive substance", "bioactive compound" and "drug" refer to substances that inhibit or prevent the function of cells and / or cause cell death or destruction.
[0040] In the present invention, when it is said that “the 1-position of L1 is connected to Tb via an S atom”, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the 1-position of L1 is connected to the sulfhydryl group contained in Tb (e.g., an antibody) after the disulfide bond is opened (for example, the disulfide bond can be opened by reducing the disulfide bond with TCEP to generate a sulfhydryl group -SH). In other words, the -S- between L1 and Tb is not an additional external sulfur atom. For example, the -S- is not an additional external sulfur atom, but rather the sulfhydryl group contained in Tb after the disulfide bond is opened and connected to L1, for example -S- is formed by connecting the 1 bits of
[0041] In the present invention, the terms "linker" and "linker" refer to a fragment that connects a biologically active compound fragment (drug molecule) to an antibody portion.
[0042] In the present invention, the term "natural amino acid residue" refers to Gly, Ala, Ser, Thr, Val, Leu, Ile, Phe, Tyr, Trp, His, Glu, Asp, Gln, Asn, Cys, Met, Lys, Arg, and Pro. Non-natural amino acids are not particularly limited, and examples include β-amino acids, γ-amino acids, D-amino acids, N-substituted amino acids, α,α-disubstituted amino acids, and amino acids whose side chains differ from those of natural amino acids.
[0043] In the present invention, the "bioactive compound fragment" refers to a portion (fragment or group) of an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) known in the art, which, after cleavage / degradation / enzymatic cleavage of the linker between tumor tissues or within tumor cells, can form a bioactive drug (e.g., a small molecule cytotoxic drug, including a group resulting from the loss of an atom or group of atoms) or its derivative (e.g., a precursor). For the avoidance of doubt, "drug" does not refer solely to "drugs" approved by pharmaceutical regulatory authorities but also includes any compound with potential therapeutic biological activity in clinical practice, or in research and development and academic research.
[0044] In the present invention, the term "antibody" is interpreted in its broadest sense, including intact monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, and multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) formed by at least two intact antibodies, as long as they have the desired biological activity. In the present invention, "antibody" and "immunoglobulin" can be used interchangeably.
[0045] In the present invention, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody derived from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for a small number of naturally occurring mutations that may be present. Monoclonal antibodies have high specificity for a single determinant (epitope) of an antigen, whereas polyclonal antibodies, in contrast, comprise different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes). In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibodies have the advantage of being synthesized without contamination by other antibodies. The modifier "monoclonal" herein indicates that the antibody is characterized by being derived from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and should not be construed as requiring production by a specific method.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, monoclonal antibodies also specifically include chimeric antibodies, that is, a portion of the heavy chain and / or light chain is identical or homologous to a certain type, class, or subclass of antibody, and the remaining portion is identical or homologous to another type, class, or subclass of antibody, as long as they have the desired biological activity (see, for example, US 4,816,567). Chimeric antibodies that can be used in the present invention include primatized antibodies, which contain variable region antigen-binding sequences from non-human primates (e.g., monkeys, orangutans, etc.) and human constant region sequences.
[0047] The term "antibody fragment" refers to a portion of an antibody, preferably the antigen binding region or variable region. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fd, Fv, dAb and complementarity determining region fragments, diabodies, linear antibodies and single-chain antibody molecules.
[0048] The term "bispecific antibody", also known as "bifunctional antibody conjugate", refers to a conjugate formed by a first antibody (fragment) and a second antibody (fragment) through a coupling arm. The conjugate retains the activity of each antibody and thus has bifunctionality and bispecificity.
[0049] The term "multispecific antibody" includes, for example, trispecific antibodies, which are antibodies with three different antigen-binding specificities, and tetraspecific antibodies, which are antibodies with four different antigen-binding specificities.
[0050] The term "intact antibody" refers to an antibody comprising an antigen-binding variable region and a light chain constant region (CL), a heavy chain constant region (CH1, CH2, and CH3). The constant region may be a native sequence (e.g., a human native constant region sequence) or an amino acid sequence variant thereof. An intact antibody is preferably an intact antibody having one or more effector functions.
[0051] The term "probody" refers to a modified antibody, including an antibody or an antibody fragment, that can specifically bind to its target and can be coupled to a masking group, wherein the masking group refers to a cleavage constant for the binding ability of the antibody or antibody fragment to its target that is at least 100 times, 1000 times, or 10,000 times greater than the cleavage constant for the binding ability of the antibody or antibody fragment to its target without the coupled masking group.
[0052] In the present invention, the "humanized" form of a non-human (e.g., mouse) antibody refers to a chimeric antibody that contains a minimal amount of non-human immunoglobulin sequence. Most humanized antibodies are those in which the hypervariable region residues of a human recipient immunoglobulin are replaced with non-human (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, or non-human primate) hypervariable region residues (donor antibody) having the desired specificity, affinity, and function. In some embodiments, the framework region (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are also replaced with non-human residues. Moreover, the humanized antibody may also contain residues that are not present in the recipient antibody or the donor antibody. These modifications are intended to further optimize the performance of the antibody. Humanized antibodies generally contain at least one, usually two, variable regions, in which all or nearly all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin, while the FRs are entirely or almost entirely human immunoglobulin sequences. The humanized antibody may also contain at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc, usually a human immunoglobulin Fc).
[0053] Intact antibodies can be divided into different "classes" based on the amino acid sequence of the constant region of their heavy chains. The five main classes are IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these classes are further divided into different "subclasses" (isotypes), such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The heavy chain constant regions of the different antibody classes are called α, β, ε, γ, and μ, respectively. The subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations of the different classes of immunoglobulins are well known in the art.
[0054] In the present invention, although amino acid substitutions in antibodies are in most cases substituted with L-amino acids, this is not limiting. In some embodiments, the antibody peptide chain may include one or more D-amino acids. Peptides containing D-amino acids are more stable and less susceptible to degradation in the oral cavity, intestinal tract, or plasma than peptides containing only L-amino acids.
[0055] Monoclonal antibodies used in the present invention can be produced by many methods. For example, monoclonal antibodies used in the present invention can be obtained by hybridoma methods using cells from many species (including mice, hamsters, rats and people), or by recombinant DNA technology (see, for example, US 4,816,567), or separated from phage antibody libraries.
[0056] In the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly stated, the descriptions “each independently selected from” and “each independently selected from” used throughout the present invention can be interchanged and should be understood in a broad sense. They can mean that in different groups, the specific options expressed by the same or different symbols do not affect each other, or that in the same group, the specific options expressed by the same or different symbols do not affect each other.
[0057] Throughout this specification, substituents of the compounds of the present invention are described in terms of group classes or ranges. It is specifically noted that the invention includes each independent subcombination of the individual members of these group classes and ranges. For example, the term "C1-6 alkyl" specifically refers to the independently invented methyl, ethyl, C3 alkyl, C4 alkyl, C5 alkyl, and C6 alkyl groups.

[0350] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0351] Through extensive research, the present invention has developed an antibody-drug conjugate with an auristatin-like bioactive compound as the payload, which can achieve one or more of the following effects:
[0352] (1) Antibody-drug conjugates with high anti-tumor activity can kill tumor cells more effectively and have better in vivo or in vitro anti-tumor effects than antibody-drug conjugates linked to similar small molecule drugs in the prior art;
[0353] (2) Antibody-drug conjugates have high stability in the circulation, which can reduce the shedding of bioactive molecules in non-target cells and increase the effective release of bioactive compounds in cells, thus having a higher therapeutic index;
[0354] (3) Antibody-drug conjugates use linkers that are cleaved in the tumor microenvironment (both inside and outside tumor cells), thus producing good anti-tumor effects in tumors with low or no antigen expression;
[0355] (4) By increasing the hydrophilicity of the linker, the physicochemical properties of the entire ADC molecule are improved, and the exposure of the entire ADC molecule in the relatively acidic tumor environment is increased. Therefore, the ADC has better tumor tissue targeting, that is, the ability to be enriched in the tumor microenvironment, increasing the ratio of the concentration of bioactive molecules in the tumor and blood, and reducing the mechanism-related toxicity of the ADC molecule (toxicity caused by ADC binding to cell surface antigens in non-tumor tissues and internalization, also known as "on-target toxicity"), thus having a higher therapeutic index;
[0356] (5) The bioactive compound (Payload) used in the antibody-drug conjugate has good liver microsomal stability and can be rapidly metabolized in the body, which can reduce the toxicity caused by exposure of the bioactive compound to the circulatory system and normal tissues, thereby improving the safety of the entire antibody-drug conjugate;
[0357] (6) The bioactive molecules of antibody-drug conjugates have higher anti-tumor cell activity and therefore have an excellent bystander effect. ADCs can more effectively kill tumor cells with high antigen expression as well as tumor cells with low or no antigen expression in tumor tissues.
[0358] (7) The toxin linker of the antibody-drug conjugate has higher stability and better in vivo and in vitro stability than the toxin linkers of similar small molecule drugs in the prior art. The ADC prepared by the method is not easily decomposed / degraded, has excellent physical and chemical stability, is suitable for industrial preparation, and has good drugability.
[0359] Therefore, the antibody-drug conjugate provided by the present invention has high clinical application value. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The pH was adjusted to 7.5 with 0.5 M Na2HPO4 solution. 20 mM TCEP (tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, 0.0117 mL, 0.234 μmol, 6.0 times the molar amount of the antibody) was added to the above solution, mixed thoroughly, and incubated in a 25°C water bath for 90 min. Then, a solution of DL-1 (0.785 mg, 12 times the molar amount of the antibody) in dimethyl sulfoxide (0.0479 mL) was added, mixed thoroughly, and incubated in a 37°C water bath for 2 h. After completion, the buffer was exchanged with 20 mM His-HCl, pH 5.9, using a centrifugal ultrafiltration tube (Merck, Amicon Ultra-15). The conjugate product of DL-1 and trastuzumab antibody, Her2-ADC-001, was obtained. The DAR value determined by mass spectrometry was 8.0.
[0540] In the table, LC represents the antibody light chain; HC represents the antibody heavy chain; DAR1 represents a conjugate comprising a light chain or heavy chain coupled to one drug-linker; DAR2 represents a conjugate comprising a light chain or heavy chain coupled to two drug-linkers; and DAR3 represents a conjugate comprising a light chain or heavy chain coupled to three drug-linkers. LC, HC, DAR1, DAR2, and DAR3 are as described above.
[0541] The trastuzumab light chain was conjugated to 0 and 1 toxin molecules (ratios of 1% and 99%, respectively), and the heavy chain was conjugated to 3 toxin molecules (ratio of 100%). Based on this, the antibody drug conjugate ratio (DAR value) of HER2-ADC-001 was calculated to be 8.0.

[0552] The DAR value determination results are as follows:
[0553] The DAR value of Her2-ADC-003 was calculated to be 3.7 based on the determination of trastuzumab light chain conjugated with 0-1 drug-linker conjugates (LC, DAR1 ratios of 68% and 32%, respectively) and heavy chain conjugated with 0-3 drug-linker conjugates (HC, DAR1, DAR2, and DAR3 ratios of 15%, 30%, 40%, and 15%, respectively).

[0720] Example 8.5 Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) Efficacy Test on BT474 Xenograft Tumors
[0721] 1. Experimental Materials
[0722] Test compound: Her2-ADC-004, normal saline as negative control.
[0723] Experimental cells: BT-474 cells.
[0724] Experimental animals: BALB / c nude mice, female, 6-8 weeks old, were purchased from Beijing Weitonglihua Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. or other qualified suppliers.
[0725] 2. Experimental Plan
[0726] Cell treatment
[0727] BT-474x cells (ATCC-HTB-20) were cultured in ATCC Hybri-Care Medium with 10% FBS at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Cells were routinely passaged twice weekly using trypsin containing EDTA. Cells were washed twice with PBS, centrifuged, and resuspended in pre-chilled PBS. Counted cells using a cell counter, the cell suspension was adjusted to the appropriate concentration, and then plated.
[0728] 2.2. Tumor cell transplantation
[0729] BALB / c nude mice were allowed to acclimate to the laboratory environment for 3-5 days. Three days before cell inoculation, a 0.36 mg sustained-release estrogen tablet was subcutaneously inoculated into the left back of each mouse. One week after estrogen tablet inoculation, the animals were assisted to urinate three times per week; if necessary, the animals were assisted to urinate daily. 6 BT-474x cells were subcutaneously inoculated on the right back near the upper limb of each mouse with PBS plus matrigel (1:1). The average tumor volume reached approximately 150-200 mm 3 The group dosing started at .
[0730] 2.3. Animal Dosing and Testing
[0731] The tumor-bearing nude mice were dosed according to the following regimen:
[0732] Table 23. Dosage regimen
[0733] 2.4. Tumor volume and body weight determination
[0734] The first day of administration was designated as day 0, and the administration was repeated three times. Tumor diameter and body weight were measured regularly. Tumor volume, relative tumor growth rate, and relative tumor inhibition rate were calculated, and tumor growth curves were drawn. The calculation formulas were:
[0735] The formula for calculating tumor volume (V) is: V = 1 / 2 × Llong × Lshort2, where Llong and Lshort represent the long diameter and short diameter of the tumor, respectively.
[0736] Relative tumor growth rate (T / C) (%): Calculated as follows: T / C% = TRTV / CRTV × 100% (TRTV: RTV of the treatment group; CRTV: RTV of the vehicle control group). RTV, relative tumor volume, is calculated as RTV = Vt / V0, where V0 is the mean tumor volume measured at the time of group dosing (i.e., D0), and Vt is the mean tumor volume at a single measurement. TRTV and CRTV data are collected on the same day.
[0737] Relative tumor inhibition rate TGI% = (1-T / C) × 100% (T and C are the relative tumor volumes (RTV) of the treatment group and the control group at a specific time point, respectively.
[0738] 3. Experimental Results
[0739] The test results showed that the antibody-drug conjugates disclosed herein showed a relatively significant tumor-suppressing effect. During the administration period, the animals in each group showed no significant weight loss or significant drug toxicity. Specific results are shown in Table 24.

[0741] Example 8.6 Liver microsomal stability test of bioactive compounds
[0742] 1. Experimental methods:
[0743] Liver microsomes from rats, mice, monkeys, and humans were mixed with the test compound and placed in a 37°C water bath. Pre-incubated NADPH solution was added to initiate the reaction. The final incubation system contained 2 μM test compound, 0.5 mg / mL liver microsomes, and 1 mM NADPH. At 0, 5, 10, 30, 60, and 120 minutes, 20 μL of the incubation solution was removed and transferred to 200 μL of acetonitrile containing 1% formic acid to terminate the reaction and precipitate the protein. After centrifugation, the supernatant was diluted 1:1 with water and analyzed by LC-MS / MS. Hepatic clearance was calculated based on compound concentrations at different time points.
[0744] 2. Experimental results:
[0745] Test results show that the bioactive compounds of the present invention have high clearance rates in the livers of four different species. When the bioactive compounds (payload) are exposed to the circulatory system and normal tissues, the antibody-drug conjugates formed thereby can be rapidly metabolized and cleared, thereby reducing toxicity and improving the safety of the entire antibody-drug conjugate.
[0746] Example 8.7 Repeated intravenous toxicity study of antibody-drug conjugates in cynomolgus monkeys
[0747] 1. Test objectives:
[0748] Cynomolgus monkeys were given repeated intravenous injections of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) to observe the nature, extent, dose-effect, time-effect relationship, and reversibility of possible toxic reactions.
[0749] 2. Experimental design:
[0750] Each experimental group consisted of two cynomolgus monkeys, half male and half female, who were intravenously injected with the drug once every three weeks for six consecutive weeks (three times in total).
[0751] 3. Preparation method of test sample:
[0752] Pipette an appropriate amount of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) and dilute it to the desired concentration. After preparation, sterilize it with a 0.22 μm syringe filter before use.
[0753] 4. Testing and observation indicators:
[0754] (1) General status observation: moribund and death observation: observe at least once in the morning and afternoon every day; daily observation: observe at least twice after each administration on the day of administration, and observe at least 1-2 times a day at other times; the observation content includes but is not limited to the injection site, mental state, feeding, drinking water, fur, excrement, death, and other conditions of the animal as well as other toxicity-related symptoms; detailed observation: observe 1-2 times a week, and the observation content includes but is not limited to the injection site, physical appearance, general behavior, mental state, glandular secretion, skin and mucous membrane color, respiratory status, genitals, death, and other abnormal symptoms.
[0755] (2) Body weight: Before the first administration, body weight should be measured at least once a week during the trial period.
[0756] (3) Food intake: measured twice a week.
[0757] (4) Hematology: Hematology was tested once on D4, D7, D14, and D21 after each administration.
[0758] (5) Blood biochemistry: The test was performed once on D5, D7, D14, and D21 after each administration.
[0759] (6) Toxicokinetics: Serum and plasma samples were collected before the first and second administrations, and immediately (0-1 minute), 3 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 168 hours, 336 hours, and 504 hours after administration.
[0760] (7) Gross autopsy: Autopsy was performed at the end of the administration, i.e., on the 50th day of the trial period, and histopathological examination was performed if necessary.
[0761] The results showed that the antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention, such as NaPi2b-ADC-003, did not cause significant drug-related changes in clinical symptoms, body weight, food consumption, or gross morphology at all doses. Overall, the animals were well tolerated under the experimental conditions.
[0762] Example 8.8 ADC Plasma Stability Test
[0763] 1. Solution preparation: Dilute the ADC stock solution to be tested with PBS to a working solution with a concentration of 2 mg / mL.
[0764] 2. Sample Incubation: The antibacterial agent ProClin was added to both ADC samples and human plasma at a final concentration of 0.1%, using sterile procedures. ADC samples were added to the sterile plasma at a final concentration of 200 μg / ml and incubated in a 37°C cell culture incubator at 80 shakes / minute. After 0 and 14 days of incubation, ADC samples were removed and 100 μl of Protein A was added to each tube. Adsorption was allowed to proceed for 2 hours, and elution was performed to obtain the incubated ADCs. The DAR values of the incubated ADCs were tested (as in Example 5.1) to determine the plasma stability of the samples.
[0765] The test results show that the DAR value of the ADC of the present invention, such as NaPi2b-ADC-003, is basically maintained during the plasma incubation process (i.e., almost no toxin linker falls off from the antibody). The experimental results prove that the ADC of the present invention has better plasma stability.
