Attorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO OXOADENINE TLR7 AGONIST COMPOUNDS AND CONJUGATES CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 661,347 filed June 18, 2024, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference for all purposes. FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure is related to oxoadenine TLR7 agonists and conjugates, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and the use of the agonists, conjugates, and pharmaceutical compositions to treat diseases and disorders, including inflammatory diseases and disorders, cell proliferation, and cancer. BACKGROUND
[0003] The innate immune system recognizes structurally conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns via Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which are usually expressed on immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. Activation of TLRs induces innate (rapid, non- specific) and / or adaptive (slower, more specific) immune responses such as induction of cytokines and / or co-stimulation of phagocytes and / or activation of the T-cell response. Among TLRs, TLR3, 7, 8 and 9 are expressed in the intracellular endosomes, while others (TLR1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 11) are localized on the plasmalemma. Each TLR elicits specific cellular responses to pathogens owing to differential usage of intracellular adapter proteins. TLR7 is an intracellular receptor expressed on endosomal membranes and is closely related to TLR8. TLR7 recognizes nucleosides and nucleotides from intracellular pathogens. Activation of TLR7 can induce Type 1 interferon and an inflammatory response. Saitoh, S-I et al., Nature Communications 2017, 8, Article number: 1592.
[0004] Malignant cells exploit the natural immunomodulatory functions of TLRs to foster their survival, invasion, and evasion of anti-tumor immune responses. Current research has demonstrated context-specific roles for TLR activation in different malignancies, promoting disease progression in certain instances while limiting cancer growth in others. Braunstein M. J. et al., Target Oncol.2018, 13(5), 583-598.
[0005] Some TLR agonists have been found to induce antitumor activity by indirectly activating the tolerant host immune system to destroy cancer cells. The use of TLR7 agonists, such as imiquimod, loxoribine, CL264 (a 9-benzyl-8 hydroxyadenine derivative containing a glycine on the benzyl group), ssRNA40, R848, and SM-276001, either alone or as vaccine 1 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO adjuvants, induces potent immunity leading to antitumor therapeutic efficacy in several murine models. Currently, three TLR agonists are FDA approved, including imiquimod for primary superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC). TLR7 agonist injection reduces tumor progression and modulates the systemic and intratumoral immune response in colon, renal, and mammary carcinomas. Antitumor effects associated with TLR7 stimulation have been demonstrated in human skin cancers and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Dajon, M. et al., Oncoimmunology.2015, 4(3), e991615.
[0006] TLR7 targeting may provide new treatment options for both anti-inflammatory, and / or anti-cancer therapy. There is a need in the field for new treatments for inflammatory and / or immunomodulatory diseases, particularly cancer. SUMMARY

This technique can be used if crystals of the separate enantiomers exist (i.e., the material is a conglomerate, and the crystals are visually distinct); ii) simultaneous crystallization – a technique whereby the individual enantiomers are separately crystallized from a solution of the racemate, only if the latter is a conglomerate in the solid state; iii) enzymatic resolutions – a technique wherein partial or complete separation of a racemate is accomplished by virtue of different rates of reaction of the enantiomers in the presence of an enzyme; iv) enzymatic asymmetric synthesis – a synthetic technique wherein at least one step of the synthesis uses an enzymatic reaction to obtain an enantiomerically pure or enriched synthetic precursor of the desired enantiomer; 139 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO v) chemical asymmetric synthesis – a synthetic technique wherein the desired enantiomer is synthesized from an achiral precursor using chiral catalysts or chiral auxiliaries to produce asymmetry (i.e., chirality) in the product; vi) diastereomer separations – a technique wherein a racemic compound is treated with an enantiomerically pure reagent (a chiral auxiliary) that converts the individual enantiomers to diastereomers. The resulting diastereomers are then separated by chromatography or crystallization by virtue of their now more distinct diastereomeric differences, and then the chiral auxiliary is removed to obtain each enantiomer; vii) first- and second-order asymmetric transformations – a technique wherein diastereomers of the racemate equilibrate in solution to yield a preponderance of a diastereomer of the desired enantiomer, or where kinetic or thermodynamic crystallization of the diastereomer of the desired enantiomer perturbs the equilibrium such that eventually in principle all the material is converted to the crystalline diastereomer of the desired enantiomer. The desired enantiomer is then derived from the diastereomer; viii) kinetic resolutions – this technique refers to the achievement of partial or complete resolution of a racemate (or of a further resolution of a partially resolved compound) by virtue of unequal reaction rates of the enantiomers with a chiral or non-racemic reagent or catalyst under kinetic conditions; ix) enantiospecific synthesis from non-racemic precursors – a synthetic technique wherein the desired enantiomer is obtained from chiral starting materials and where the stereochemical integrity is not or is only minimally compromised over the course of the synthesis; x) chiral liquid chromatography – a technique wherein the enantiomers of a racemate are separated in a liquid mobile phase by virtue of their different interactions with a stationary phase. The stationary phase can be made of chiral material or the mobile phase can contain an additional chiral material to provoke the different interactions; xi) chiral gas chromatography – a technique wherein the racemate is volatilized and enantiomers are separated by virtue of their different interactions in the gaseous mobile phase with a column containing a fixed non-racemic adsorbent phase; 140 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO xii) extraction with chiral solvents – a technique wherein the enantiomers are separated by virtue of kinetic or thermodynamic dissolution of one enantiomer into a particular chiral solvent; a) transport across chiral membranes – a technique wherein a racemate is placed in contact with a thin membrane barrier. The barrier typically separates two miscible fluids, one containing the racemate, and a driving force such as a concentration or pressure differential causes preferential transport across the membrane barrier. Separation occurs as a result of the non-racemic nature of the membrane which allows only one enantiomer of the racemate to pass through.

Isotopically Enriched Compounds
[0291] Also provided herein are isotopically enriched compounds, linker-payloads, and conjugates including, but not limited to, isotopically enriched compounds of Formula (I)- (IA), linker-payloads of Formula (LP-I)-(LP-IIA), and conjugates of Formula (CONJ-I)- (CONJ-IVB). 141 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO
[0292] Isotopic enrichment (for example, deuteration) of pharmaceuticals to improve pharmacokinetics (“PK”), pharmacodynamics (“PD”), and / or toxicity profiles, has been previously demonstrated within some classes of drugs. See, for example, Lijinsky et al., Food Cosmet. Toxicol., 20: 393 (1982); Lijinsky et al., J. Nat. Cancer Inst., 69: 1127 (1982); Mangold et al., Mutation Res.308: 33 (1994); Gordon et al., Drug Metab. Dispos., 15: 589 (1987); Zello et al., Metabolism, 43: 487 (1994); Gately et al., J. Nucl. Med., 27: 388 (1986); Wade D, Chem. Biol. Interact.117: 191 (1999).
[0293] Isotopic enrichment of a drug can be used, for example, to (1) reduce or eliminate unwanted metabolites; (2) increase the half-life of the parent drug; (3) decrease the number of doses needed to achieve a desired effect; (4) decrease the amount of a dose necessary to achieve a desired effect; (5) increase the formation of active metabolites, if any are formed; and / or (6) decrease the production of deleterious metabolites in specific tissues. Isotopic enrichment of a drug can also be used to create a more effective and / or safer drug for combination therapy, whether the combination therapy is intentional or not.
[0294] Replacement of an atom for one of its isotopes often will result in a change in the reaction rate of a chemical reaction. This phenomenon is known as the Kinetic Isotope Effect (“KIE”). For example, if a C–H bond is broken during a rate-determining step in a chemical reaction (i.e., the step with the highest transition state energy), substitution of a (heavier) isotope for that reactive hydrogen will cause a decrease in the reaction rate. The Deuterium Kinetic Isotope Effect (“DKIE”) is the most common form of KIE. (See, e.g., Foster et al., Adv. Drug Res., vol.14, pp.1-36 (1985); Kushner et al., Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol., vol.77, pp.79-88 (1999)).
[0295] The magnitude of the DKIE can be expressed as the ratio between the rates of a given reaction in which a C–H bond is broken, and the same reaction where deuterium is substituted for hydrogen and the C–D bond is broken. The DKIE can range from about one (no isotope effect) to very large numbers, such as 50 or more, meaning that the reaction can be fifty, or more, times slower when deuterium has been substituted for hydrogen.
[0296] Substitution of tritium (“T”) for hydrogen results in yet a stronger bond than deuterium and gives numerically larger isotope effects. Similarly, substitution of isotopes for other elements including, but not limited to,13C or14C for carbon;33S,34S, or36S for sulfur; 15N for nitrogen; and17O or18O for oxygen may lead to a similar kinetic isotope effect.
[0297] The animal body expresses a variety of enzymes for the purpose of eliminating foreign substances, such as therapeutic agents, from its circulation system. Examples of such enzymes include the cytochrome P450 enzymes (“CYPs”), esterases, proteases, reductases, 142 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO dehydrogenases, and monoamine oxidases to react with and convert these foreign substances to more polar intermediates or metabolites for renal excretion. Some of the most common metabolic reactions of pharmaceutical compounds involve the oxidation of a carbon- hydrogen (C–H) bond to either a carbon-oxygen (C–O) or carbon-carbon (C=C) pi-bond. The resultant metabolites may be stable or unstable under physiological conditions, and can have substantially different PK / PD, and acute and long-term toxicity profiles relative to the parent compounds. For many drugs, such oxidations are rapid. Therefore, these drugs often require the administration of multiple or high daily doses.
[0298] Therefore, isotopic enrichment at certain positions of a compound provided herein will produce a detectable KIE that will affect the pharmacologic, PK, PD, and / or toxicological profiles of a compound provided herein in comparison with a similar compound having a natural isotopic composition. III. Conjugation
[0299] In certain embodiments, the conjugate can be formed from a macromolecule that comprises one or more reactive groups. In certain embodiments, the conjugate can be formed from a macromolecule comprising all naturally encoded amino acids. Those of skill in the art will recognize that several naturally encoded amino acids include reactive groups capable of conjugation to a compound of Formula (I)-(IA) or to a linker-payload of Formula (LP-I)-(LP- IIA). These reactive groups include cysteine side chains, lysine side chains, and amino- terminal groups. In these embodiments, the conjugate can comprise a compound of Formula (I)-(IA) or linker-payload of Formula (LP-I)-(LP-IIA) linked to the residue of an antibody reactive group. In these embodiments, the compound of Formula (I)-(IA) precursor or linker- payload of Formula (LP-I)-(LP-IIA) precursor comprises a reactive group capable of forming a bond with an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof reactive group. Typical reactive groups include maleimide groups, activated carbonates (including, but not limited to, p- nitrophenyl ester), activated esters (including, but not limited to, N-hydroxysuccinimide, p- nitrophenyl ester, and aldehydes). Particularly useful reactive groups include maleimide and succinimide, for instance N-hydroxysuccinimide, for forming bonds to cysteine and lysine side chains. Further reactive groups are described in the sections and examples below.
[0300] Reactive Groups
[0301] As described herein, reactive groups facilitate conjugation of the compounds of Formula (I)-(IA) or linker-payloads (LP-I)-(LP-IIA) as described herein to a second compound, such as an macromolecule (i.e., COMP) described herein to form a conjugate of Formula (CONJ-I)-(CONJ-IVB) as described herein. In certain embodiments, the reactive 143 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO group is designated RG herein. Reactive groups can react via any suitable reaction mechanism known to those of skill in the art. In certain embodiments, a reactive group (RG) reacts through a [3+2] alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction, inverse-electron demand Diels- Alder ligation reaction, thiol-electrophile reaction, or carbonyl-oxyamine reaction, as described in detail herein. In certain embodiments, the reactive group (RG) comprises an alkyne, strained alkyne, tetrazine, thiol, para-acetyl-phenylalanine residue, oxyamine, maleimide, or azide. In certain embodiments, the reactive group i,methylcyclopropene, and –SH; wherein RTis C1-6alkyl; andrepresents attachment to the remainder of the compound. In certain embodiments, RTis methyl, ethyl, or propyl. In some embodiments, RTis methyl. In some embodiments, RTis ethyl. In some embodiments, RTis propyl. Additional reactive groups are described in, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication No.2014 / 0356385, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2013 / 0189287, U.S. Patent Application Publication No.2013 / 0251783, U.S. Patent No. 8,703,936, U.S. Patent No.9,145,361, U.S. Patent No.9,222,940, and U.S. Patent No. 8,431,558.
[0302] After conjugation, a divalent residue of the reactive group (referred to as RL herein) is formed and is bonded to the residue of a second compound (e.g., COMP). The structure of the divalent residue is determined by the type of conjugation reaction employed to form the conjugate. 144 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO
[0303] [3+2] Alkyne-Azide Cycloaddition Reaction
[0304] Advantageously, the compounds described herein comprising a conjugating alkyne group or an azide group facilitate selective and efficient reactions with a second compound comprising a complementary azide group or alkyne group. It is believed the azide and alkyne groups react in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to form a 1,2,3-triazolylene moiety which links the compounds described herein comprising an alkyne group or an azide group to the second compound. This reaction between an azide and alkyne to form a triazole is generally known to those in the art as a Huisgen cycloaddition reaction or a [3+2] alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction.
[0305] The unique reactivity of azide and alkyne functional groups makes them useful for the selective modification of polypeptides and other biological molecules. Organic azides, particularly aliphatic azides, and alkynes are generally stable toward common reactive chemical conditions. In particular, both the azide and the alkyne functional groups are inert toward the side chains of the twenty common amino acids found in naturally-occurring polypeptides. It is believed that, when brought into close proximity, the "spring-loaded" nature of the azide and alkyne groups is revealed and azide and alkyne groups react selectively and efficiently via a [3+2] alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction to generate the corresponding triazole. See, e.g., Chin J., et al., Science 301:964-7 (2003); Wang, Q., et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc.125, 3192-3193 (2003); Chin, J. W., et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc.124:9026-9027 (2002).
[0306] Because the [3+2] alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction involves a selective cycloaddition reaction [see, e.g., Padwa, A., in COMPREHENSIVE ORGANIC SYNTHESIS, Vol.4, (ed. Trost, B. M., 1991), pp.1069-1109; Huisgen, R. in 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITION CHEMISTRY, (ed. Padwa, A., 1984), pp.1-176] rather than a nucleophilic substitution, the incorporation of non-naturally encoded amino acids bearing azide and alkyne-containing side chains permits the resultant polypeptides to be modified selectively at the position of the non-naturally encoded amino acid. Cycloaddition reactions involving azide or alkyne-containing compounds can be carried out at room temperature under aqueous conditions by the addition of Cu(II) (including, but not limited to, catalytic 145 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO amounts of CuSO4) in the presence of a reducing agent for reducing Cu(II) to Cu(I), in situ, in catalytic amounts. See, e.g., Wang, Q., et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc.125, 3192-3193 (2003); Tornoe, C. W., et al., J. Org. Chem.67:3057-3064 (2002); Rostovtsev, et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.41:2596-2599 (2002). Exemplary reducing agents include, but are not limited to, ascorbate, metallic copper, quinine, hydroquinone, vitamin K, glutathione, cysteine, Fe2+, Co2+, and an applied electric potential.
[0307] In certain embodiments when a conjugate is formed through a [3+2] alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group (e.g., RL) comprises a triazole ring or fused cyclic group comprising a triazole ring. In certain embodiments, when a conjugate is formed through a strain-promoted [3+2] alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group.
[0308] If a conjugate of Formula (CONJ-I)-(CONJ-IVB) is formed by a [3+2] alkyne-azide cycloaddition, the conjugate encompasses both regioisomers. In certain embodiments, a conjugate of Formula (CONJ-I)-(CONJ-IVB) is a mixture of regioisomers formed from a [3+2] alkyne-azide cycloaddition.
[0309] Inverse Electron Demand Ligation Reaction
[0310] Advantageously, compounds comprising a terminal tetrazine or strained alkene group facilitate selective and efficient reactions with a second compound comprising a strained alkene or tetrazine group. It is believed that the tetrazine and strained alkene react in an inverse-demand Diels-Alder reaction followed by a retro-Diels-Alder reaction which links compounds comprising a terminal tetrazine or strained alkene group to the second compound. 146 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO The reaction is believed to be specific, with little to no cross-reactivity with functional groups within biomolecules. The reaction may be carried out under mild conditions, for example, at room temperature and without a catalyst. This reaction between a tetrazine and a strained alkene is generally known to those in the art as a tetrazine ligation reaction.
[0311] In certain embodiments, when a conjugate is formed through a tetrazine inverse electron demand Diels-Alder ligation reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group (e.g., RL) comprises a fused bicyclic ring having at least two adjacent nitrogen atoms in the ring. In certain embodiments, when a conjugate is formed through a tetrazine inverse electron demand Diels-Alder ligation reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group (e.g., RL) is.
[0312] If a conjugate of Formula (CONJ-I)-(CONJ-IVB) is formed by an inverse electron demand ligation reaction, the conjugate encompasses both regioisomers. In certain embodiments, a conjugate of Formula (CONJ-I)-(CONJ-IVB) is a mixture of regioisomers formed from an inverse electron demand ligation reaction.
[0313] Thiol Reactions
[0314] Advantageously, compounds comprising a terminal thiol group or suitable electrophilic or disulfide-forming group facilitate selective and efficient reactions with a second compound comprising a complementary electrophilic or disulfide-forming group or thiol group. These reactions are believed to be selective with little to no cross-reactivity with functional groups within biomolecules. In some embodiments, the thiol reaction does not include reaction of a maleimide group. 147 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO
[0315] In certain embodiments, when a conjugate is formed through a thiol-maleimide reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group comprisessulfur linkage. In certain embodiments, when a conjugate is formed through a thiol-maleimide reaction,, the divalent residue of the reactive groupcertain embodiments, when a conjugate is formed through a thiol-maleimide reaction,, the divalent residue of the reactive group (e.g., RL) is .
[0316] In certain embodiments, a conjugate is formed through a thiol-N-hydroxysuccinimide reaction using the following group:. The reaction involved for formation of the conjugate comprises the following step:, and the resulting divalent residue of the reactive group
[0317] Carbonyl-Oxyamine Reaction
[0318] Advantageously, compounds comprising a terminal carbonyl or oxyamine group facilitate selective and efficient reactions with a second compound comprising an oxyamine or carbonyl group. It is believed that the carbonyl and oxyamine react to form an oxime 148 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO linkage. The reaction is believed to be specific, with little to no cross-reactivity with functional groups within biomolecules.
[0319] In certain embodiments when a conjugate is formed through an oxime conjugation reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group comprises a divalent residue of a non- natural amino acid. In certain embodiments when a conjugate is formed through an oxime conjugation reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group. certain embodiments when a conjugate is formed through an oxime conjugation reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group comprises an oxime linkage. In certain embodiments when a conjugate is formed through an oxime conjugation reaction, the divalent residue of the reactive group
[0320] Other Reactions
[0321] Other suitable conjugation reactions are described in the literature. See, for example, Lang, K. and Chin, J.2014, Bioorthogonal Reactions for Labeling Proteins, ACS Chem Biol 9, 16-20; Paterson, D. M. et al.2014, Finding the Right (Bioorthogonal) Chemistry, ACS Chem Biol 9, 592-605; King, M. and Wagner, A.2014, Developments in the Field of Bioorthogonal Bond Forming Reactions – Past and Present Trends, Bioconjugate Chem., 2014, 25 (5), pp 825-839; and Ramil, C.P. and Lin, Q., 2013, Bioorthogonal chemistry: strategies and recent developments, Chem Commun 49, 11007-11022. IV. Releasing Reactions
[0322] Releasing Reactions are reactions that act to release a biologically active portion of a compound or conjugate described herein from the compound or conjugate in vivo and / or in vitro. In certain embodiments, the released biologically active portion is a compound described elsewhere herein (e.g., cytotoxic agents), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, 149 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO solvate, stereoisomer, or tautomer thereof. One example of a releasing reaction is an intramolecular reaction between an eliminator group and a release trigger group of a compound or conjugate described herein to release a biologically active portion of a compound or conjugate described herein. The eliminator group may itself devolve into two reactive components, as exemplified in these reactions where X is a drug having a heteroatom nitrogen or oxygen for linkage. Exemplary Releasing Reactions are depicted in the scheme below:V. Water soluble polymers
[0323] In certain embodiments, a compound or conjugate described herein comprises one or more water soluble polymers. A wide variety of macromolecular polymers and other molecules can be linked to the polypeptides described herein to modulate biological properties of the polypeptide, and / or provide new biological properties to the polypeptide. These macromolecular polymers can be linked to the polypeptide via a naturally encoded amino acid, via a non-naturally encoded amino acid, or any functional substituent of a natural or modified amino acid, or any substituent or functional group added to a natural or modified amino acid. The molecular weight of the polymer may include a wide range including, but not limited to, between about 100 Da and about 100,000 Da or more.
[0324] The polymer selected may be water soluble so that a protein to which it is attached does not precipitate in an aqueous environment, such as a physiological environment. The 150 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO polymer may be branched or unbranched. In certain embodiments, for therapeutic use of the end-product preparation, the polymer will be pharmaceutically acceptable.
[0325] In certain embodiments, the proportion of polyethylene glycol molecules to polypeptide molecules will vary, as will their concentrations in the reaction mixture. In general, the optimum ratio (in terms of efficiency of reaction in that there is minimal excess unreacted protein or polymer) may be determined by the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol selected and on the number of available reactive groups available. Regarding molecular weight, typically the higher the molecular weight of the polymer, the fewer number of polymer molecules which may be attached to the protein. Similarly, branching of the polymer should be taken into account when optimizing these parameters. Generally, the higher the molecular weight (or the more branches) the higher the polymer:protein ratio.
[0326] The water soluble polymer may be any structural form including, but not limited to, linear, forked, or branched. Typically, the water soluble polymer is a poly(alkylene glycol), such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), but other water soluble polymers can also be employed. By way of example, PEG is used to describe certain embodiments.
[0327] PEG is a well-known, water soluble polymer that is commercially available or can be prepared by ring-opening polymerization of ethylene oxide according to methods well known in the art (Sandler and Karo, Polymer Synthesis, Academic Press, New York, Vol.3, pages 138-161). The term “PEG” is used broadly to encompass any polyethylene glycol molecule, without regard to size or to modification at an end of a PEG, and can be represented as linked to a polypeptide by the formula: X′O–(CH2CH2O)n–CH2CH2–Y′ where n is an integer selected from 2 to 10,000, X′ is hydrogen or a terminal modification including, but not limited to, C1-4alkyl, and Y′ is the attachment point to the polypeptide.
[0328] In some cases, a PEG terminates on one end with hydroxy or methoxy, i.e., X′ is hydrogen or CH3 (aka “methoxy PEG”). Alternatively, the PEG can terminate with a PEG reactive group, thereby forming a bifunctional polymer. Typical PEG reactive groups can include those reactive groups that are commonly used to react with the functional groups found in the twenty common amino acids (including, but not limited to, maleimide groups, activated carbonates (including, but not limited to, p-nitrophenyl ester), activated esters (including, but not limited to, N-hydroxysuccinimide, p-nitrophenyl ester, and aldehydes) as well as functional groups that are inert to the twenty common amino acids, but that react specifically with complementary functional groups present in non-naturally encoded amino acids (including, but not limited to, azide groups and / or alkyne groups). It is noted that the 151 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO other end of the PEG, which is shown in the above formula by Y′, will attach either directly or indirectly to a polypeptide via a naturally-occurring or non-naturally encoded amino acid. For instance, Y′ may be an amide, carbamate, or urea linkage to an amine group (including, but not limited to, the epsilon amine of lysine or the N-terminus) of the polypeptide. Alternatively, Y′ may be a maleimide linkage to a thiol group (including, but not limited to, the thiol group of cysteine). Alternatively, Y′ may be a linkage to a residue not commonly accessible via the twenty common amino acids. For example, an azide group on the PEG can be reacted with an alkyne group on the polypeptide to form a Huisgen [3+2] cycloaddition product. Alternatively, an alkyne group on the PEG can be reacted with an azide group present in a non-naturally encoded amino acid, such as the modified amino acids described herein, to form a similar product. In some embodiments, a strong nucleophile (including, but not limited to, hydrazine, hydrazide, hydroxylamine, or semicarbazide) can be reacted with an aldehyde or ketone group present in a non-naturally encoded amino acid to form a hydrazone, oxime, or semicarbazone, as applicable, which in some cases can be further reduced by treatment with an appropriate reducing agent. Alternatively, the strong nucleophile can be incorporated into the polypeptide via a non-naturally encoded amino acid and used to react preferentially with a ketone or aldehyde group present in the water soluble polymer.
[0329] Any molecular mass for a PEG can be used as practically desired including, but not limited to, from about 100 Daltons (Da) to 100,000 Da or more as desired (including, but not limited to, in certain embodiments 0.1-50 kDa or 10-40 kDa). Branched chain PEGs including, but not limited to, PEG molecules with each chain having a molecular weight (MW) ranging from 1-100 kDa (including, but not limited to, 1-50 kDa or 5-20 kDa) can also be used. A wide range of PEG molecules are described in the Shearwater Polymers, Inc. catalog, and the Nektar Therapeutics catalog, each incorporated herein by reference.
[0330] Generally, at least one terminus of the PEG molecule is available for reaction with the remainder of the compound of Formula (I),(IA), or (IB). For example, PEG derivatives bearing alkyne and azide moieties for reaction with amino acid side chains can be used to attach PEG to non-naturally encoded amino acids as described herein. If the non-naturally encoded amino acid comprises an azide, then the PEG will typically contain either an alkyne moiety to effect formation of the [3+2] cycloaddition product or an activated PEG species (i.e., ester, carbonate) containing a phosphine group to effect formation of the amide linkage. Alternatively, if the non-naturally encoded amino acid comprises an alkyne, then the PEG will typically contain an azide moiety to effect formation of the [3+2] Huisgen cycloaddition 152 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO product. If the non-naturally encoded amino acid comprises a carbonyl group, the PEG will typically comprise a nucleophile (including, but not limited to, a hydrazide, hydrazine, hydroxylamine, or semicarbazide functionality) in order to effect formation of corresponding hydrazone, oxime, and semicarbazone linkages, respectively. In other alternatives, a reverse of the orientation of the reactive groups described herein can be used (i.e., an azide moiety in the non-naturally encoded amino acid can be reacted with a PEG derivative containing an alkyne).
[0331] In some embodiments, the polypeptide variant with a PEG derivative contains a chemical functionality that is reactive with the chemical functionality present on the side chain of the non-naturally encoded amino acid.
[0332] In certain embodiments, the water soluble polymer is an azide- or acetylene- containing polymer comprising a water soluble polymer backbone having an average molecular weight from about 800 Da to about 100,000 Da. The polymer backbone of the water-soluble polymer can be poly(ethylene glycol). However, it should be understood that a wide variety of water soluble polymers including, but not limited to, poly(ethylene)glycol and other related polymers, including poly(dextran) and poly(propylene glycol), are also suitable for use and that the use of the term “PEG” or “poly(ethylene glycol)” is intended to encompass and include all such molecules. The term “PEG” further includes, but is not limited to, poly(ethylene glycol) in any of its forms, including bifunctional PEG, multiarmed PEG, derivatized PEG, forked PEG, branched PEG, pendent PEG (i.e., PEG or related polymers having one or more functional groups pendent to the polymer backbone), or PEG with degradable linkages therein.
[0333] The polymer backbone can be linear or branched. Branched polymer backbones are generally known in the art. Typically, a branched polymer has a central branch core moiety and a plurality of linear polymer chains linked to the central branch core. PEG is commonly used in branched forms that can be prepared by addition of ethylene oxide to various polyols, such as glycerol, glycerol oligomers, pentaerythritol, and sorbitol. The central branch moiety can also be derived from several amino acids, such as lysine. The branched poly(ethylene glycol) can be represented in general form as R-(-PEG-OH)m in which R is derived from a core moiety, such as glycerol, glycerol oligomers, or pentaerythritol, and m represents the number of arms. Multi-armed PEG molecules, such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,932,462; 5,643,575; 5,229,490; and 4,289,872; U.S. Pat. Appl. No.2003 / 0143596; and WO 96 / 21469 and WO 93 / 21259, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, can also be used as the polymer backbone. 153 1104675906\1\AMERICASAttorney Docket No.108843.00582 SU-0514WO
[0334] Branched PEG can also be in the form of a forked PEG represented by PEG(-Y′′CHZ2)n, where Y′′ is a linking group and Z is an activated terminal group linked to CH by a chain of atoms of defined length. Yet another branched form, the pendant PEG, has PEG reactive groups, such as carboxyl, along the PEG backbone rather than at the end of PEG chains. In addition to these forms of PEG, the polymer can also be prepared with weak or degradable linkages in the backbone. For example, PEG can be prepared with ester linkages in the polymer backbone that are subject to hydrolysis. As shown herein, this hydrolysis results in cleavage of the polymer into fragments of lower molecular weight: -PEG-CO2-PEG-+H2O→PEG-CO2H+HO-PEG-. It is understood by those skilled in the art that the term “poly(ethylene glycol)” or “PEG” represents or includes all the forms known in the art including, but not limited to, those disclosed herein. Many other polymers are also suitable for use. In some embodiments, polymer backbones that are water-soluble, with from two to about three hundred termini, are particularly suitable. Examples of suitable polymers include, but are not limited to, other poly(alkylene glycols), such as poly(propylene glycol) (“PPG”), copolymers thereof (including, but not limited to, copolymers of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol), terpolymers thereof, mixtures thereof, and the like. Although the molecular weight of each chain of the polymer backbone can vary, it is typically in the range of from about 800 Da to about 100,000 Da, often from about 6,000 Da to about 80,000 Da. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the foregoing list for substantially water-soluble backbones is by no means exhaustive and is merely exemplary, and that all polymeric materials having the qualities described herein are contemplated as being suitable for use. In some embodiments the polymer derivatives are “multi-functional,” meaning that the polymer backbone has at least two termini, and possibly as many as about 300 termini, functionalized or activated with a functional group. Multifunctional polymer derivatives include, but are not limited to, linear polymers having two termini, each terminus being bonded to a functional group which may be the same or different. VI.
