Description

An antibody-drug conjugate based on exatecan and a preparation method and use thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of medicine, and particularly relates to an antibody-drug conjugate based on exatecan and a preparation method and use thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Exatecan mesylate (DX-8951f) is a water-soluble camptothecin (CPT) derivative. Compared with camptothecin, exatecan has higher membrane permeability and can overcome P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance, and has stronger efficacy on various tumor implantation models. However, free exatecan has the problems of poor targeting and high toxicity in vivo, which limits its clinical application.

[0003] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are connectors coupled by a linker between a monoclonal antibody targeting a specific antigen and a toxin. Through this coupling mode, ADCs combine the targeting of monoclonal antibodies and the strong killing effect of toxins, utilize the specific binding of antigen-antibody to accurately deliver toxins to target cells, and realize specific killing of tumor cells and adjacent tumor stromal cells, tumor blood vessels and other cells supporting tumor growth through endocytosis and bystander effect, greatly reducing the toxic side effects of drugs, expanding the therapeutic window, improving the pharmacokinetic characteristics of drugs, and both making up for the poor efficacy of monoclonal antibodies alone and avoiding the regret of too strong toxins that cannot be made into drugs. ADCs have been proved to be a very promising treatment in the clinical treatment of hematological tumors and solid tumors, and have become a popular direction of antibody drug research and development at home and abroad.

[0004] However, the complex molecular design of ADCs not only has advantages but also brings many challenges to the development of the drug. It is of great significance to develop an antibody-drug conjugate with exatecan as a toxin with excellent coupling effect, safety, effectiveness and stability. SUMMARY

[0066] Definitions of terms used in the application: unless otherwise specified, the initial definition of a group or term provided herein applies throughout the specification for that group or term; for terms not specifically defined herein, the meaning given to them by one of ordinary skill in the art, in light of the disclosure and context, should be given to them.

[0067] The amino protecting groups in the application include but are not limited to acetyl (Ac), benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), trityl (Trt), benzoyl (Bz), tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc).

[0068] The drug-linking assembly unit of the present application can be connected with a targeting linker, which is a substance capable of targeting binding to a lesion site; the drug-linking assembly unit is composed of a linker and a drug.

[0069] The covalent connection of the targeting linker and 1-20 drug-linking assembly units can form a targeting linker-drug conjugate.

[0070] When the targeting linker is an antibody, the targeting linker-drug conjugate is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC for short).

[0071] In the present application, the "DAR value" represents the average number of drug-linking assembly units conjugated to one targeting linker in the targeting linker-drug conjugate, which is equivalent to the average value of q. The DAR value can not be an integer.

[0072] The minimum and maximum values of the carbon content in the hydrocarbon group are represented by a prefix, for example, the prefix C a-b Alkyl refers to a straight-chain or branched alkyl group containing 1-3 carbon atoms. 1-3 Alkyl refers to a straight-chain or branched alkyl group containing 1-3 carbon atoms.

[0073] "Targeting linker-drug conjugate" refers to the conjugate obtained by coupling a drug with a targeting linker having the effect of targeting binding to a lesion site through a linker. For example, "antibody-drug conjugate" (ADC) is one of the targeting linker-drug conjugates of the present application, and its targeting linker is an antibody or an antibody fragment.

[0074] "Drug-linking assembly unit" is the product obtained by connecting the aforementioned linker and drug in the targeting linker-drug conjugate, and is an intermediate for preparing the targeting linker-drug conjugate. Coupling it with a targeting linker can obtain a targeting linker-drug conjugate.

[0075] "Drug" refers to a compound having a desired biological activity (such as a therapeutic effect). For example, it can be a cytotoxic compound for cancer treatment, or a biologically active protein or polypeptide.

[0076] "Targeting linker" refers to a substance having the effect of targeting binding to a lesion site, such as an antibody, an antibody fragment, a protein, a small molecular polypeptide, a glycopeptide, a mimetic peptide, a small molecular compound, or a nucleic acid oligonucleotide aptamer. The targeting linker can bind to a target (such as an antigen) on the lesion site, so that the targeting linker-drug conjugate can target bind to the lesion site.

[0077] An "antibody" refers to a protein produced by the body in response to an antigen that has a protective effect. When the targeting linker is an antibody or antibody fragment, the resulting targeting linker-drug conjugate is an antibody-drug conjugate. The antibody or antibody fragment of the present application can bind to an antigen at a diseased site, allowing the antibody-drug conjugate to target the diseased site. An antibody can be any protein or protein-like molecule that can bind to or complex with or react with a portion of the cell population to be treated or biologically modified.

[0078] In the present application, the antibody that makes up the antibody-drug conjugate preferably retains its antigen binding ability as in its original wild-type state. Thus, the antibody in the present application is capable of specifically binding to an antigen. The antigen involved includes, but is not limited to, tumor associated antigens (TAA), cell surface receptor proteins and other cell surface molecules, cell survival regulators, cell proliferation regulators, molecules associated with tissue growth or differentiation, lymphokines, cytokines, molecules involved in cell cycle regulation, molecules involved in angiogenesis, and factors associated with angiogenesis. The tumor associated factor can also be a cluster differentiation factor (e.g., CD proteins). The antigen to which the antibody binds in the present application can be one or a subset of the above categories, while other subsets include other molecules / antigens with special properties.

[0079] Antibodies for use in the antibody-drug conjugates include, but are not limited to, antibodies against cell surface receptors and tumor associated antigens. Such tumor associated antigens are well known in the art and can be prepared by methods and information known in the art. These targets are specifically expressed on the surface of one or more cancer cells, but are rarely or not expressed on the surface of one or more non-cancer cells. Typically, such tumor associated polypeptides are overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells relative to non-cancer cells. Identification of such tumor associated factors greatly enhances the specific targeting properties of antibody-based cancer therapies.

[0080] Tumor associated antigens include, but are not limited to, the tumor associated antigens listed below. Antibodies targeting the corresponding tumor associated antigens include all amino acid sequence variants and species that share at least 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% homology with the sequences identified in the references, or that possess biological properties and characteristics identical to those of the tumor associated antigens of the references.

[0081] Tumor associated antigens are: BMPR1B (Genbank Accession No: NM-001203), E16 (Genbank Accession No: NM-003486), STEAP1 (Genbank Accession No: NM-012449), 0772P (Genbank Accession No: AF361486), MPF (Genbank Accession No: NM-005823), Napi3b (Genbank Accession No: NM-006424), Sema 5b (Genbank Accession No: AB040878), PSCA hlg (Genbank Accession No: AY358628), ETBR (Genbank Accession No: AY275463), MSG783 (Genbank Accession No: NM-017763), STEAP2 (Genbank Accession No: AF455138), TrpM4 (Genbank Accession No: NM-017636), CRIPTO (Genbank Accession No: NP-003203 or NM-003212), CD21 (Genbank Accession No: M26004), CD79B (Genbank Accession No: NM-000626), FcRH2 (Genbank Accession No: NM-030764), HER2 (Genbank Accession No: M11730), NCA (Genbank Accession No: M18728), MDP (Genbank Accession No: BC017023), IL20Ra (Genbank Accession No: AF184971), Brevican (Genbank Accession No: AF229053), EphB2R (Genbank Accession No: NM-004442), GEDA (Genbank Accession No: AY260763), BAFF-R (Genbank Accession No: AF1164546), CD22 (Genbank Accession No: AK026467), CD79a (Genbank Accession No: NP-001774.1), CXCR5 (Genbank Accession No: NP-001701.1), HLA-DOB (Genbank Accession No: NP-002111.1), P2X5 (Genbank Accession No: NP-002552.2), CD72 (Genbank Accession No: NP-001773.1), LY64 (Genbank Accession No: NP-005573.1), FcRH1 (Genbank Accession No: NP-443170.1), IRTA2 (Genbank Accession No: NP-112571.1), TENB2 (Genbank Accession No: AF179274), CEA, B7H3, Her3, 5T4, Claudin 18.2, FGFR2b, FRa, TROP2, B7H4, Nectin4, CD30, c-MET, EGFR, Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5), ROR1, CD20, Hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR), ROR2, IL3RA, Mesothelin receptor, CD74, PDL1.

[0082] The antibody used in the present application can be an antibody corresponding to the aforementioned antigen.

[0083] A "linker" is a substance used to connect a compound having a therapeutic effect with a targeting linker that binds to a lesion site. A "linker fragment" refers to a partial structure having a linking function in the linker.

[0084] According to the intracellular drug release mechanism, the linker can be divided into two categories: non-cleavable linkers and cleavable linkers.

[0085] For a targeting linker-drug conjugate (such as an antibody-drug conjugate) containing a non-cleavable linker, the drug release mechanism can be that after the conjugate binds to the antigen and is endocytosed by the cell, the antibody is enzymatically degraded in the lysosome, and an active small molecule composed of the linker and the amino acid residues of the antibody is released.

[0086] A targeting linker-drug conjugate (such as an antibody-drug conjugate) containing a cleavable linker can be cleaved in the target cell and release the drug (such as a small molecule drug itself). Cleavable linkers can be divided into two main categories: chemically unstable linkers and enzymatically unstable linkers. Chemically unstable linkers can be selectively cleaved due to the differences in plasma and cytoplasmic properties, such as pH, glutathione concentration, etc. Enzymatically unstable linkers, such as peptide linkers, can be effectively cleaved by lysosomal proteases, such as cathepsin. Peptide linkers are considered to be very stable in plasma.

[0087] The linker is the core part of the targeting linker-drug conjugate (such as an antibody-drug conjugate), which can greatly affect the pharmacokinetics, therapeutic index, and efficacy of the targeting linker-drug conjugate (such as an antibody-drug conjugate).

[0088] The targeting linker-drug conjugate provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a targeting linker and 1-20 covalently linked drug linking assembly units, wherein the drug linking assembly units can be connected by a thiol produced by reduction of the interchain disulfide bond in the antibody and / or each linking assembly unit is connected to a thiol from a cysteine residue.

[0089] For ease of connection, the drug-linking assembly unit is usually constructed before being connected to the targeting linker. However, the order of construction can also be changed. For example, the assembly unit with a protecting group is first connected to the targeting linker, and the protecting group is removed after being connected to the targeting linker and other drug units are added.

[0090] The drug-linking assembly unit with exatecan as the toxin provided by the application has excellent coupling effect.

[0091] The antibody-drug conjugate obtained by the drug-linking assembly unit with exatecan as the toxin provided by the application has significantly improved killing effect on HER2 positive tumor cells, and weak killing effect on HER2 negative tumor cells, proving that the ADC has strong target selectivity and meets the design principle of ADC.

[0092] The antibody-drug conjugate with exatecan as the toxin provided by the application has excellent coupling effect, safety, effectiveness, stability, low polymer content and naked antibody percentage, suitable DAR value, and exhibits excellent plasma stability, storage stability and anti-tumor effect, and has good clinical application prospect.

[0093] Obviously, according to the above content of the application, according to the ordinary technical knowledge and common means in the art, other various forms of modifications, replacements or changes can be made without departing from the above technical idea of the application.

[0094] The above content of the application will be further described in detail through the specific embodiments in the form of examples. However, this should not be understood as the scope of the above subject matter of the application being limited to the following examples. Any technology realized based on the above content of the application belongs to the scope of the application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0353] 1. Experimental method

[0354] Test sample: antibody-drug conjugates prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples, using trastuzumab as the anti-HER2 antibody.

[0355] Molecular exclusion high performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC) was used to detect the content of aggregates (high molecular components) in the antibody-drug conjugates. A Biocore SEC column (7.8 x 300 mm, 5 μm) was used, with a mobile phase of 50 mM phosphate (pH 6.8) containing 300 mM sodium chloride: isopropanol = 95:5 (V / V), a flow rate of 0.5 mL / min, a sample of 50 μg, a sample volume of 10 μl, and UV absorbance at 280 nm observed for at least 30 min. The content of aggregates in the antibody-drug conjugates was calculated by area normalization.

[0356] Reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC-MS) was used to detect the drug-to-antibody conjugation ratio (also referred to as the antibody-drug ratio, abbreviated as DAR) of the antibody-drug conjugates. The ADC sample was diluted to 1 mg / ml with 50 mmol / L Tris buffer (pH 8.0), and freshly prepared dithiothreitol (DTT) stock solution was added to give a final DTT concentration of 50 mmol / L, and incubated at 37°C for 30 min.

UV absorbance was observed at 280 nm. Mass spectrometry dry gas temperature 350 °C, dry gas flow 7.0 L / min, nebulizer pressure 40 psi, capillary voltage positive 3000 V negative 3000 V, mass range 500-1600 m / z, the molecular weight of each mass peak was calculated by deconvolution (range 20000-70000) and compared to the light and heavy chain molecular weight of the unconjugated antibody, the drug loading of each peak was calculated and the corresponding UV peak loading was determined. The area percentage of each heavy and light chain UV peak area was calculated by integration and combined with the drug loading of each peak to calculate the weighted average DAR of the antibody-drug conjugate.

[0357] The content of naked antibody in the antibody-drug conjugate was determined using hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC). A Biocore HIC-Butyl column (4.6 x 150 mm, 5 μm) was used. Mobile phase A was 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 2 M ammonium sulfate, mobile phase B was 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0): isopropanol = 80:20 (V / V). Injection sample 50 ug, injection 10 ul. Flow rate 1 mL / min, mobile phase A at 100% for 3 min. 3-25 min, mobile phase B from 0% to 100%, 25.1 mobile phase B decreased to 0%, run to 30 min.

[0359] Table 1. Detection results of antibody-drug conjugates

[0360] It can be seen that all the drug linker assembly units of the embodiments of the present application have excellent conjugation characteristics.

[0361] Experimental example 2: activity detection of antibody-drug conjugates

[0362] 1. Experimental method

[0363] Tested sample: antibody-drug conjugate prepared by the examples, and the anti-HER2 antibody used is trastuzumab.

[0364] Test method: On the first day of the experiment, cells in the logarithmic growth phase were counted and plated at 2000 / well, and then incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator overnight. The next day, sample stock solutions were prepared, the samples were diluted in a 3-fold gradient, and the diluted samples were added to the corresponding wells, and the same volume of PBS or DMSO solution was added to the negative control group, and then incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator for 120 hours. After adding 50 μL of CTG detection solution and shaking to mix, stand for 10 minutes, and then use an enzyme-labeled instrument to read the plate. Calculate the half-inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) value.

[0365] 2. Experimental results

[0366] Table 2. IC 50 value test results of antibody-drug conjugate inhibition of tumor cells

[0367] From the cell activity results, it can be seen that the ADC obtained by the drug-linking assembly unit of the comparative example has almost no killing effect on HER2-positive tumor cells, and does not have the basic ADC drug-making conditions; the ADC obtained by the drug-linking assembly unit of the example has a killing effect on HER2-positive tumor cells that is about 100 times higher than that of the comparative example ADC, which shows that the ADC obtained by the drug-linking assembly unit with the specific structure of the example of the present application exhibits a significantly improved inhibitory effect on HER2-positive tumor cells.

[0368] In addition, the killing effect of the example ADC on HER2-negative tumor cells is weak, which proves that these ADCs have strong target selectivity, which meets the design principle of ADCs.

[0369] Experimental example 3: in vivo activity detection of antibody-drug conjugate

[0370] 1. Experimental method

[0371] Tested sample: antibody-drug conjugate prepared by the examples, and the anti-HER2 antibody used is trastuzumab. The HER2 ADC DS-8201a that has been marketed is used as a control, and DS-8201a is purchased from Daiichi Sankyo Deutschland GmbH.

[0372] 1.1 Establishment of tumor model:

[0373] Gastric cancer JIMT1 tumor cells were cultured in culture medium and maintained in a 37℃ saturated humidity incubator containing 5% CO2. Logarithmic growth phase tumor cells were collected and resuspended in basal medium to adjust the cell concentration to 1×10 8 / mL. Under sterile conditions, 0.1 mL of cell suspension was inoculated subcutaneously into the right armpit of mice at a concentration of 1×10 7 Cells / 0.1 mL / mouse.

[0374] 1.2 Grouping and administration observation

[0375] When the tumor volume reached ~110mm 3 , the animals were randomly grouped according to the tumor volume, the grouping day was recorded as Day 0, and the administration was performed according to the animal body weight. During the experiment, the tumor volume was measured twice a week, and the animal clinical symptoms were observed and recorded daily. After the last measurement, the remaining animals were euthanized and sacrificed with CO2.

[0376] 2. Experimental results

[0377] As can be seen from the experimental results (Figure 1), the ADC of the present application has good tumor growth inhibition activity in vivo, and the tumor inhibition effect of all ADCs is better than the currently marketed HER2 ADC DS-8201a at the same dose, and also has a good dose-effect relationship.
