AI Technical Summary
Existing eribulin antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have high toxicity, a narrow safe therapeutic window, and poor heterogeneity and stability in the conjugation between the linker and the antibody.
A novel active molecule and linker-drug toxin molecule related to eribulin were designed. The drug conjugate is formed by conjugating it to an antibody through a degradable or non-degradable linker fragment. The resulting drug conjugate is stable in the blood, has low toxicity and rapid clearance, and improves the safe therapeutic window.
This improves the safe therapeutic window of eribulin ADC, ensuring stability and low toxicity in the bloodstream, rapid clearance, and reduced impact on normal cells.

Abstract
Description
Novel active molecules related to eribulin, linker-drug toxin molecule compounds containing the same and their use in antibody conjugates
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 2024111225360, filed on August 15, 2024. This application incorporates the entirety of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to a novel active molecule related to eribulin, linker-drug toxin molecule compounds containing the same and their use in antibody conjugates. BACKGROUND
[0003] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) can selectively deliver drugs to target cells and produce pharmacologically active effects, but have less impact on normal cells, opening a new era of disease treatment. Currently, several ADC drugs have been approved for marketing by the FDA, such as DS-8201, which is a HER2 antibody connected with a camptothecin derivative Dxd, is used for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients, and Sacituzumab govitecan, which targets Trop-2 antigen (also known as epithelial glycoprotein 1, EGP-I). Among the ADCs approved for marketing by the FDA so far, the drugs contained mainly target DNA or tubulin as anti-tumor drugs. As small molecule compounds against tumors, camptothecin derivatives, such as SN-38, Dxd, and Dx-8951, which inhibit DNA topoisomerase I to achieve anti-tumor effects, have been confirmed to have killing effects on a variety of cancer cells in vivo and in vitro, showing strong anti-tumor effects. As compounds that inhibit tubulin to achieve anti-tumor effects, such as Eribulin, MMAE, MMAF, and maytansine, which have been confirmed to have killing effects on a variety of cancer cells in vivo and in vitro, show strong anti-tumor effects. By connecting small molecules to antibodies through appropriate linking methods, the stability of ADC drugs can be improved and the therapeutic window can be improved. An appropriate linking method can ensure the integrity of the ADC drug during blood circulation and avoid premature release, which can cause off-target toxicity. After entering the target cells, the toxin can be effectively released to exert a killing effect.
[0004] Current eribulin ADCs are connected to antibodies and drugs through a cleavable linker, which can directly release the drug during blood circulation. Because eribulin is highly toxic, the safe therapeutic window of ADC drugs is narrow. Moreover, the linkers in eribulin ADCs are all coupled to Cys on the antibody in a non-site-specific manner, which has problems of uniformity and stability. SUMMARY
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the existing art has strong toxicity of irinotecan ADC drugs and narrow safety treatment window; therefore, the present application provides a new active molecule related to irinotecan, a linker-drug toxin molecule containing the same, and their application in antibody conjugates. The drug conjugate provided by the present application, as shown in formula I, when broken, first releases the low-toxicity new active molecule related to irinotecan, which can effectively improve the safety treatment window. Further, the new active molecule related to irinotecan of the present application, as well as the generated linker-payload compound, and the drug conjugate generated therefrom, also have one or more of the advantages of stability in blood, low toxicity and fast clearance rate.

In a 96-well plate, each well was added with cells (80 μL, 1000 cells) and incubated in a 37°C carbon dioxide incubator for 24 hours. Then, different concentrations (ADC concentrations were 150, 30, 6, 1.2, 0.24, 0.048, 0.0096, 0.0019, 0.0004 nM respectively; eribulin derivative concentrations were 1000, 200, 40, 8, 1.6, 0.32, 0.064, 0.0128, 0.0026 nM respectively) of test compounds (20 μL) were placed in the appropriate cell culture solution (total amount 0.1 mL) for treatment. The control wells contained cells and culture medium but no test compounds. Incubation was carried out in a 37°C carbon dioxide incubator for 144 hours. The 96-well plate was taken out, and the cell state was observed under a microscope. White bottom membrane was pasted, CTG reagent (100 μL) was added to the wells, the plate was shaken at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then was allowed to stand for 10 minutes. The luminescence was recorded by a Microplate Reader.

Here, the IC 50 The calculated values were based on the concentration of eribulin corresponding to the conjugate, i.e. Conc. = Conc. (ADC) x DAR, and the results are shown in the following table. The tested ADCs had strong inhibition rates in Her2-positive cells SKBR3; the inhibition rates of the tested ADCs were weak in Her2-negative cells MDA-MB-231; and in JIMT-1 cells, the ADC with DXd as the drug had no inhibition rate, while the antibody conjugates of eribulin and its derivatives had strong inhibition rates.

The experimental results are as follows:
[0333] The anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugate delivers chemotherapeutic drugs to HER2 positive NCI-N87 cells due to its antibody targeting effect, showing strong cell killing activity; for HER2 negative cells MDA-MB-468-Luc, it generally does not show killing activity.
