Description

Atty. Docket No. SMO-OQ4WOCALICHEAMICIN DERIVATIVES AND ANTIBODY-DRUG CONJUGATES THEREOFCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of, and priority to, U.S. Provisional PatentApplication No. 63 / 689,038, filed on August 30, 2024; the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND

[0002] Antibody -drug conjugates (ADC’s) provide a mechanism for selective delivery of small molecule therapeutic pay loads to antigen-positive cancer cells, thereby attenuating systemic toxicity of cytotoxic drugs to antigen-negative normal cells. Three components of an ADC — the antibody, the cytotoxic payload, and the linker that joins them — are important in designing an effective therapeutic. Despite active development, challenges still exist, for example, toxicity due to the antibody binding to its target in normal tissue, and dispersion of the cytotoxic payload in normal tissue due to instability of the ADC linker. Thus, many ADC’s have not succeeded in clinical trials due to lack of safety and / or efficacy at tolerated doses.

[0003] The calicheamicins are a family of enediyne antitumor antibiotics isolated from the bacterium Micromonospora echinospora, with calicheamicin yl being a notable example. The calicheamicins are able to bind with DNA, particularly in the minor groove, whereupon the core undergoes a cyclization reaction analogous to form a diradical species. This diradical subsequently abstracts two hydrogen atoms from the deoxyribose (sugar) backbone of the DNA, ultimately leading to strand scission.

[0004] Calicheamicin antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are effective therapeutics for, e.g., leukemias. However, calicheamicin ADCs previously under clinical development have shown undesirable properties such as, e.g., being heterogeneous, aggregation-prone, and having a shortened half-life due to the instability of the acid- sensitive linker components in circulation.

[0005] Thus, there remains a need to develop further calicheamicin payloads and calicheamicin antibody-drug conjugates. Such compounds may have present properties which differ from those of calicheamicin derivatives studied to date, for example,1IPTS / 2001 1 1566.1Atty. Docket No. SMO-OQ4WO advantageous chemical properties, physical properties, payload release characteristics, safety and tolerability profiles, and / or improved efficacy. Moreover, preferential delivery of calicheamicin payloads to diseased tissues through antibody-drug conjugates could lead to improved safety and efficacy, thereby providing therapeutic options for a larger number of patients and types of cancers.SUMMARY

The symbol =z denotes a bond that may be a single, double or triple bond as described herein. Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond are designated as being in the “Z’ or “E” configuration wherein the termsare13IPTS / 200111566.1Atty. Docket No. SMO-OQ4WO used in accordance with IUPAC standards. Unless otherwise specified, structures depicting double bonds encompass both the “E” and “Z” isomers. Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond alternatively can be referred to as “cis” or “trans,” where “cis” represents substituents on the same side of the double bond and “trans” represents substituents on opposite sides of the double bond.

[0035] Compounds of the disclosure may contain a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring and therefore, exist as geometric isomers resulting from the arrangement of substituents around the ring. The arrangement of substituents around a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring are designated as being in the “Z” or “E” configuration wherein the terms “Z” and “E” are used in accordance with IUPAC standards. Unless otherwise specified, structures depicting carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings encompass both “Z” and “E” isomers. Substituents around a carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings may also be referred to as “cis” or “trans,” where the term “cis” represents substituents on the same side of the plane of the ring and the term “trans” represents substituents on opposite sides of the plane of the ring. Mixtures of compounds wherein the substituents are disposed on both the same and opposite sides of plane of the ring are designated “cis / trans.”

[0036] Individual enantiomers and diastereomers of compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials that contain asymmetric or stereogenic centers, or by preparation of racemic mixtures followed by resolution methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These methods of resolution are exemplified by (1) attachment of a mixture of enantiomers to a chiral auxiliary, separation of the resulting mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or chromatography and liberation of the optically pure product from the auxiliary, (2) salt formation employing an optically active resolving agent, (3) direct separation of the mixture of optical enantiomers on chiral liquid chromatographic columns or (4) kinetic resolution using stereoselective chemical or enzymatic reagents. Racemic mixtures can also be resolved into their component enantiomers by well-known methods, such as chiral-phase liquid chromatography or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Stereoselective syntheses, a chemical or enzymatic reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereoisomers during the creation of a new stereocenter or during the transformation of a pre-existing one, are well known in the art. Stereoselective syntheses encompass both enantio- and diastereoselective transformations and may involve the use of chiral auxiliaries. For14IPTS / 2001 1 1566.1Atty. Docket No. SMO-OQ4WO examples, see Carreira and Kvaerno, Classics in Stereoselective Synthesis, Wiley-VCH: Weinheim, 2009.

[0037] The compounds disclosed herein can exist in solvated as well as unsolvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like, and it is intended that the present disclosure embrace both solvated and unsolvated forms. In one embodiment, the compound is amorphous. In one embodiment, the compound is a single polymorph. In another embodiment, the compound is a mixture of polymorphs. In another embodiment, the compound is in a crystalline form.

[0038] The present disclosure also embraces isotopically labeled compounds of the disclosure which are identical to those recited herein, except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the present disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine and chlorine, such as2H,3H,13C,14C,1SN,18O,170,31P,32P,35S,18F, and36C1, respectively. For example, a compound of the disclosure may have one or more H atom replaced with deuterium.

[0039] Certain isotopically labeled disclosed compounds (e.g., those labeled with3H and14C) are useful in compound and / or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e.,3H) and carbon- 14 (i.e.,14C) isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e.,2H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the examples herein by substituting an isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.

[0040] Procedures for making compounds described herein are provided below in the working examples and may be supplemented or substituted by procedures known to those of skill in the art.

[0089] Another aspect of the present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds as disclosed herein formulated together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In particular, the present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds as disclosed herein formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These formulations include those suitable for oral, rectal, topical, buccal, parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, or intravenous), vaginal, or aerosol administration, although the most suitable form of administration in any given case will depend on the degree and severity of the condition being treated and on the nature of the particular compound being used. For example, disclosed compositions may be formulated as a unit dose, and / or may be formulated for oral or subcutaneous administration.

[0090] For example, disclosed herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutic payload disclosed herein, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Also disclosed herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a linker-payload disclosed herein, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Further disclosed herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a drug conjugate disclosed herein, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[0091] Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure may be used in the form of a pharmaceutical preparation, for example, in solid, semisolid or liquid form, which contains one or more disclosed compounds, as an active ingredient, in admixture with an organic or inorganic carrier or excipient suitable for external, enteral or parenteral applications. The active ingredient may be compounded, for example, with the usual nontoxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for tablets, pellets, capsules, suppositories, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and any other form suitable for use. The active object compound is included in the pharmaceutical composition in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of the disease.

[0092] For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient may be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g., conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g., water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a disclosed compound, or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these75IPTS / 2001 1 1566.1Atty. Docket No. SMO-OQ4WO preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.

[0093] In solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the subject composition is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and / or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and / or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (7) wetting agents, such as, for example, acetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; and (10) coloring agents. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the compositions may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

[0094] Pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure suitable for parenteral administration comprise a subject composition in combination with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents.

[0095] Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers which may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate and cyclodextrins. Proper fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use76IPTS / 2001 1 1566.1Atty.

The pH of the duodenum is about 5.5, the pH of the jejunum is about 6.5 and the pH of the distal ileum is about 7.5. Accordingly, enteric materials are not soluble, for example, until a pH of about 5.0, of about 5.2, of about 5.4, of about 5.6, of about 5.8, of about 6.0, of about 6.2, of about 6.4, of about 6.6, of about 6.8, of about 7.0, of about7.2, of about 7.4, of about 7.6, of about 7.8, of about 8.0, of about 8.2, of about 8.4, of about8.6, of about 8.8, of about 9.0, of about 9.2, of about 9.4, of about 9.6, of about 9.8, or of about 10.0. Exemplary enteric materials include cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP), polyvinyl acetate phthalate (PVAP), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS), cellulose acetate trimellitate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose succinate, cellulose acetate succinate, cellulose acetate hexahydrophthalate, cellulose propionate phthalate, cellulose acetate maleate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, copolymer of methylmethacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate, copolymer of methyl acrylate, methylmethacrylate and methacrylic acid, copolymer of methylvinyl ether and maleic anhydride (Gantrez ES series), ethyl methyacrylate-methylmethacrylate-chlorotrimethylammonium ethyl acrylate copolymer, natural resins such as zein, shellac and copal collophorium, and several commercially available enteric dispersion systems (e. g. , Eudragit L30D55, Eudragit FS30D, Eudragit L100, Eudragit S100, Kollicoat EMM30D, Estacryl 30D, Coateric, and Aquateric). The solubility of each of the above materials is either known or is readily determinable in vitro. The foregoing is a list of possible materials, but one of skill in the art with the benefit of the disclosure would recognize that it is not comprehensive and that there are other enteric materials that would meet the objectives of the present invention.

[0097] Advantageously, the present disclosure also provides kits for use by e.g., a consumer in need of treatment of cancer. Such kits include a suitable dosage form such as those described herein and instructions describing the method of using such dosage form to77IPTS / 2001 1 1566.1Atty. Docket No. SMO-004WO mediate, reduce or prevent inflammation. The instructions would direct the consumer or medical personnel to administer the dosage form according to administration modes known to those skilled in the art. Such kits could advantageously be packaged and sold in single or multiple kit units.EXAMPLES

[0100] Excess linker-drug was separated from respective antibody-drug conjugates by cation-exchange chromatography (Cytiva, HiTrap SP HP resin), composition of buffer A was 10% sucrose, 12.5 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0, 20 mM NaCl, and buffer B was 10% sucrose, 12.5 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0, IM NaCl. Antibody drug conjugate and unconjugated linker-drug mixture in lx PBS pH 7.4 were diluted in 10% sucrose, 12.5 mM Na-acetate pH 5.0, 0 mM NaCl buffer and loaded onto HiTrap SP HP resin column (Cytiva). Respective non-conjugated linker-drugs did not bind to the column, while respective antibody-drug conjugates bound to the column and were eluted in using A-B buffer gradient 0-42.5% B over 5 column volumes and 42.5%- 100% B over 5 column volumes. For reactions with transglutaminase, gradient elution was used and transglutaminase and ADC eluted as two distinct peaks using gradient 0-100% B over 53 column volumes. Analytical sizeexclusion chromatography (Cytiva, Superdex 200 10 / 300 in lx PBS, pH 6.0 buffer) showed that antibody drug conjugates were >90 % monomeric.Common Procedure X2: Evaluation of linker-drug conjugation using molecular weight shift using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis

[0101] Conjugation of linker-payload to antibody was evaluated by molecular weight shift of heavy and light chains of antibody drug conjugates towards higher molecular weights compared to unconjugated heavy and light chains using reduced, denaturing SDS- PAGE gel electrophoresis (4-12% Bis-Tris protein SDS-PAGE gels, ThermoFisherScientific). Drug to antibody ratio was estimated based on a fraction of heavy chain molecular weight (MW) species at higher MW compared to unconjugated heavy chain.79IPTS / 2001 1 1566.1Atty. Docket No. SMO-004WOFor ADC compounds that were generated using an intermediate species composed of antibody-linker, conjugation of linker-payload to antibody-linker intermediate was evaluated by molecular weight shift of heavy and light chains of antibody drug conjugates towards higher molecular weights compared to antibody-linker compound’s heavy and light chains using reduced, denaturing SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis (4-12% Bis-Tris protein SDS- PAGE gels, ThermoFisherS cientific).Common Procedure X3: Determination of drug-linker to antibody ratio

[0102] Drug-linker to antibody ratio of antibody drug conjugates was determined using reverse phase liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS) of antibody’s heavy and light chain subunit species using the approach known in the art (Zhu X. et al. 2020. J Pharm Anal. 10(3): 209-220; Firth D. et al. 2015 Analytical Biochemistry, 485, 34-42). Briefly, anti-HER2 and anti-EGFR antibody drug conjugates were deglycosylated using PNGase F treatment (New England Biolabs Rapid PNGAse). For anti-TROP2 and anti-CD33 antibody drug conjugate deglycosylation treatment was not needed as they contain mutations in Fc glycosylation sequence. Cysteine disulfide bridges were reduced to separate heavy and light chain subunits and sample analyzed by reverse phase liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS). Following reduction of cysteine disulfide bridges and removal of N-linked glycans, the heavy and light chains eluted in distinct peaks. Electrospray ionization baseline subtracted spectra and deconvoluted mass spectra of RPLC eluted peaks were used to determine respective heavy and light chain masses and abundance (mass peak intensity) of antibody’s heavy and light chain subunit species conjugated to 0, 1, 2 or 3 linker-drug for heavy chain subunit (here referred to as Ho, Hi, H2, H3) cysteine residues, or 0 and 1 linker-drugs for heavy chain subunit conjugated to glutamine residues, and 0 or 1 linker-drug for light chain subunit (here referred to as LQ, LI) conjugated to cysteine residues. Data was used to determine the overall average linker-drug to antibody conjugate ratio (DAR) of each antibody drug conjugate. Reverse phase liquid chromatography condition was mobile phase A was 0.05% TFA in water, mobile phase B was 0.05% trifluoro acetic acid in acetonitrile. Gradient program was 10-20% of mobile phase B in 1 min, 20-50% mobile phase B in 9 min, flow rate 0.5 mL / min, post-column split, 2.1x50 mm Halo Diphenyl 2.7 um, 80°C. Mass spectrometer was Waters Xevo G2-XS QTof, with Acquity i-Class UPLC. Mass spectra data processing was performed by ProMass HR for MassLyxn software (Waters Limited).80IPTS / 2001 1 1566.1Atty. Docket No. SMO-004WO

[0103] Average number of conjugated drug molecules to antibody was determined for each antibody drug conjugate using following formulas: Average linker pay load conjugated to light chain = (mass peak intensity of Lo x 0 / (1 x mass peak intensity of Li + 0 x mass peak intensity of Lo)) + (mass peak intensity of Li x 1 / (1 x mass peak intensity of Li + 0 x mass peak intensity of Lo)). Average linker payload conjugated to heavy chain = (mass peak intensity of Ho x 0 / (O x mass peak intensity of Ho + 1 x mass peak intensity of Hi + 2 x mass peak intensity of H2 + 3 x mass peak intensity of H3)) + (mass peak intensity of Hi x 1 / (0 x mass peak intensity of Ho + 1 x mass peak intensity of Hi + 2 x mass peak intensity of H2 + 3 x mass peak intensity of H3)) + (mass peak intensity of H2 x 2 / (O x mass peak intensity of Ho + 1 x mass peak intensity of Hi + 2 x mass peak intensity of H2 + 3 x mass peak intensity of H3)) + (mass peak intensity of H3 x 3 / (O x mass peak intensity of Ho + 1 x mass peak intensity of Hi + 2 x mass peak intensity of H2 + 3 x mass peak intensity of H3)). Average number of conjugated drug molecules to antibody composed of two light chain and two heavy chain subunits = (2x average linker payload conjugated to light chain + 2x average linker payload conjugated to heavy chain).

[0104] Observed mass of anti-TROP2 antibody heavy chain without linker-drug (Ho) was 49169Da (daltons) and observed mass of light chain without linker-drug (Lo) was 23332Da. Observed mass of anti-HER2 antibody heavy chain without linker-drug (Ho) was 49964 Da and observed light chain without linker-drug (Lo) was 23444 (Da). Observed mass of anti-EGFR antibody heavy chain without linker-drug (Ho) was 49769 (Da) and observed light chain without linker-drug (Lo) was 23259 (Da). Observed mass of anti-CD33antibody heavy chain without linker-drug (Ho) was 48608 (Da) and observed light chain without linker-drug (Lo) was 23829 (Da).

[0105] Observed respective masses of heavy chain with one linker-drug (Hi) was (Ho+ lx molecular weight of linker-drug), heavy chain with two linker-drug (H2) was (Ho + 2x molecular weight of linker-drug), heavy chain with three linker-drug (H3) was (Ho + 3x molecular weight of linker-drug). Observed respective masses of light chain with one linkerdrug (Li) was (Lo + lx molecular weight of linker-drug).Common procedure X4: Culturing cells

Docket No. SMO-004WOCommon Procedure X5: Cytotoxicity assays

[0107] The viability of cancer cells in the presence of payloads or ADCs was measured in a series of in vitro assays. Cells were plated in 96-well white flat-bottomed plates (Grenier Bio-One) at 3.5 x 104per well in 100 pL culture medium.

[0108] Test compounds (payloads or ADCs) were added at a range of concentrations as nine-point serial dilution in quadruplicate for pay loads and duplicate or quadruplicate for ADCs. Following further incubation for 3 days for payloads and 3-5 days for antibody drug conjugates (ADC) in 37°C, 5% CO2, cell viability was assessed with the use of a CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega). Luminescence was measured using the SpectraMax iD3 plate reader (Molecular Devices). Luminescence values were plotted against log concentration of test compounds, and cell viability was calculated by dividing luminescence values at different payload or ADC concentrations by luminescence values at payload or ADC concentration of zero. IC50 values were calculated by GraphPad Prism as best-fit values using four parameter dose-response curve fit, with R squared ranging from 0.97-0.99. IC50 values and percent cell viability at indicated test compound concentration are shown in Tables 4-8.Synthesis of Synthetic Intermediates:Synthesis of Intermediate 1: Linker Fmoc-NH-PG6A-VCit-PABA-PFP:82IPTS / 2001 1 1566.1Atty.
