Abstract
Description
Ligand-drug conjugate comprising hydrophilic group and its use in medicine TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of medicine, in particular to a ligand-drug conjugate comprising hydrophilic group and its use in medicine. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ligand-drug-conjugate (LDC) is a new type of drug that combines the high specificity of targeting agent and the high activity of small molecule drug (cytotoxic agent, immunomodulator or other agent), such as common antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), aiming to improve the targeting of small molecule drugs while reducing their toxic side effects.
[0003] The following main factors need to be considered in the design process of ligand-drug-conjugate: targeting of ligand, toxicity of toxin molecule, linker. The linker is responsible for linking the antibody and cytotoxic small molecule of ADC together, which is crucial for the safety and stability of ADC drug. The ideal linker needs to be stable enough in blood circulation, can effectively avoid the release of toxin small molecule in blood circulation and normal tissues and make it stable and inactive, while at the same time needs to be able to efficiently release toxin small molecule in tumor tissue and cells. For example, camptothecin drugs are a class of highly hydrophobic chemical small molecules, and the stability and half-life of ligand-drug-conjugate prepared have no obvious advantage over similar products.
[0004] Improving the hydrophilicity of the linker is beneficial for the coupling reaction of toxin molecules with antibodies in aqueous phase, while avoiding the decrease of ADC yield caused by the aggregation of proteins. More importantly, the hydrophilicity of the linker is beneficial for the delivery of toxin small molecules in ADC drugs to the inside of tumor cells, improving the premature release of ADC drugs during transport and significantly affecting the safety and effectiveness of ADC drugs.
[0005] The introduction of polar groups such as sulfonic acid or polyethylene glycol in the linker can not only enhance the water solubility of linker-drug, reduce the probability of aggregation during the preparation of ADC molecules, but also enhance the ability of toxin small molecules to overcome the P-glycoprotein (PgP) efflux effect (Cancer Res, 2010, 70(6): 2528-2537 and MAbs, 2018, 10(7): 960-967). Other solutions to improve the linker include WO2019081455, WO2022253284, WO2022228493A, WO2023280227 and WO2024006272A.

An antibody can refer to an immunoglobulin, which is a four polypeptide chain structure connected by interchain disulfide bonds, consisting of two heavy chains and two light chains. The immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region has different amino acid compositions and arrangement orders, and thus different antigenicities. Accordingly, the immunoglobulin can be divided into five types, or called isotypes of immunoglobulin, namely IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA and IgE, and the corresponding heavy chains are μ chain, δ chain, γ chain, α chain and ε chain, respectively. The same type of Ig can be divided into different subtypes according to the differences in the amino acid composition of the hinge region and the number and position of the heavy chain disulfide bonds, such as IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. The light chain is divided into κ chain or λ chain through the constant region. Each of the five types of Ig can have K chain or λ chain.

Preferably, the average value is 1-10, more preferably 1-8, or 2-8, or 2-7, or 3-8, or 3-7, or 3-6, or 4-7, or 4-6, or 4-5. The average number of drugs per ADC molecule after conjugation can be identified by conventional methods such as UV / visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA assay, monoclonal antibody size variant assay (CE-SDS) and HPLC.
[0690] The monoclonal antibody size variant assay (CE-SDS) of the present disclosure can use sodium dodecyl sulfate capillary electrophoresis (CE-SDS) ultraviolet detection method to quantitatively determine the purity of recombinant monoclonal antibody products under reducing and non-reducing conditions according to the molecular weight size by capillary electrophoresis method (2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 0542).
[0691] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the cytotoxic drug is conjugated to the N-terminal amino group and / or the ε-amino group of lysine residues of the ligand through the linker unit. Generally, the number of drug molecules that can be conjugated to the ligand in the conjugation reaction will be less than the theoretical maximum.
[0692] The drug loading of the ligand-drug conjugate can be controlled by the following non-limiting methods, including:
[0693] (1) controlling the molar ratio of the linking reagent and the monoclonal antibody,
[0694] (2) controlling the reaction time and temperature,
[0695] (3) selecting different reaction reagents.
[0696] The term "drug" or "drug unit" refers to a compound (e.g., an active pharmaceutical ingredient and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, a derivative of an active pharmaceutical ingredient and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, a prodrug modification of an active pharmaceutical ingredient and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts) that has biological activity and provides a desired physiological effect upon administration to a subject in need thereof, including but not limited to: a cytotoxic compound, a cytostatic compound, an immunosuppressive compound, an anti-inflammatory compound, or an anti-infective compound. The cytotoxic compound includes but is not limited to eribulin or its derivatives, trabectedin or its derivatives, auzreotin E or its derivatives, auzreotin E or its derivatives, camptothecin or its analogs. The antibodies of the present disclosure include murine antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and fully human antibodies, preferably humanized antibodies and fully human antibodies.
[0697] The term "murine antibody" in the present disclosure is an antibody prepared from a mouse according to the knowledge and skill in the art. The preparation is performed by injecting a test subject with a specific antigen, and then isolating a hybridoma expressing an antibody having a desired sequence or functional property.
[0698] The term "chimeric antibody" is an antibody in which the variable region of a murine antibody is fused with the constant region of a human antibody, which can reduce the immune response reaction induced by the murine antibody. To establish a chimeric antibody, a hybridoma secreting a murine-specific monoclonal antibody is first established, and then the variable region gene is cloned from the murine hybridoma cell, and the constant region gene of the human antibody is cloned as needed, and the murine variable region gene is linked with the human constant region gene to form a chimeric gene, which is inserted into an expression vector, and finally the chimeric antibody molecule is expressed in a eukaryotic system or a prokaryotic system.
[0699] The term "humanized antibody", also known as CDR-grafted antibody, refers to an antibody in which murine CDR sequences are grafted into a human antibody variable region framework, i.e. an antibody generated by grafting different types of human germline antibody framework sequences. The heterogeneity reaction induced by chimeric antibodies due to carrying a large number of murine protein components can be overcome. Such framework sequences can be obtained from public DNA databases or published references including germline antibody gene sequences. The germline DNA sequences of human heavy and light chain variable region genes can be found in the "VBase" human germline sequence database (available on the Internet at www.mrccpe.com.ac.uk / vbase), and in Kabat, E. A. et al., 1991 Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th edition. To avoid the decrease in immunogenicity while causing a decrease in activity, the human antibody variable region framework sequence can be subjected to minimal back mutation or back mutation to maintain activity. The humanized antibodies of the present disclosure also include humanized antibodies further affinity matured by phage display on CDR.
[0700] The term "fully human antibody", "fully human antibody" or "completely human antibody", also known as "fully human monoclonal antibody", is an antibody whose variable region and constant region are both human, removing immunogenicity and toxic side effects. The development of monoclonal antibodies has gone through four stages, namely: murine monoclonal antibody, chimeric monoclonal antibody, humanized monoclonal antibody and fully human monoclonal antibody. The present disclosure is a fully human monoclonal antibody. The related technologies for the preparation of fully human antibodies mainly include: human hybridoma technology, EBV transformed B lymphocyte technology, phage display technology (phage display), transgenic mouse antibody preparation technology (transgenic mouse) and single B cell antibody preparation technology, etc.
[0701] The term "CDR"1 refers to one of six hypervariable regions within the variable domain of an antibody that primarily contribute to antigen binding. One of the most commonly used definitions of the six CDRs is provided by Kabat E. A. et al. (1991) Sequences of proteins of immunological interest. NIH Publication 91-3242. As used herein, the Kabat definition of CDRs applies only to CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the light chain variable domain (CDR L1, CDR L2, CDR L3 or L1, L2, L3), and CDR2 and CDR3 of the heavy chain variable domain (CDR H2, CDR H3 or H2, H3). Generally, there are three CDRs in each heavy chain variable region (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3) and three CDRs in each light chain variable region (LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3). The amino acid sequence boundaries of the CDRs can be determined using any of a variety of well-known schemes, including the "Kabat" numbering convention (see Kabat et al. (1991) "Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest," 5th Ed., Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD), the "Chothia" numbering convention (see Al-Lazikani et al. (1997) JMB 273:927-948), and the ImMunoGenTics (IMGT) numbering convention (see Lefranc M.P., Immunologist, 7, 132-136 (1999); Lefranc, M.P. et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol., 27, 55-77 (2003)), among others. For example, for the canonical format, following the Kabat convention, the CDR amino acid residues in the heavy chain variable domain (VH) are numbered 31-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and in the light chain variable domain (VL) are numbered 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3). Following the Chothia convention, the CDR amino acid residues in the VH are numbered 26-32 (HCDR1), 52-56 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and in the VL are numbered 26-32 (LCDR1), 50-52 (LCDR2), and 91-96 (LCDR3).CDRs consist of amino acid residues 26-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3) in human VH and 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3) in human VL, following the IMGT rules. Following the IMGT rules, the CDR amino acid residue numbering in VH is approximately 26-35 (CDR1), 51-57 (CDR2), and 93-102 (CDR3), and in VL is approximately 27-32 (CDR1), 50-52 (CDR2), and 89-97 (CDR3). CDR regions of an antibody can be determined using the program IMGT / DomainGap Align, following the IMGT rules.
[0702] Amino acid sequence "identity" refers to the percentage of amino acid residues in a first sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in a second sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for example, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2, or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared.
[0703] The term "polypeptide" refers to a fragment of a compound between amino acids and proteins, which is composed of two or more amino acid molecules connected to each other by a peptide bond, and is a structural and functional fragment of a protein, such as hormones, enzymes, etc. Peptides are essentially peptides.
[0704] The term "orthogonal linker" refers to a linker unit assembly that links a ligand to a homopolymer unit and a drug unit, such that the homopolymer unit is in a parallel configuration with respect to the drug unit (as opposed to a tandem configuration). The orthogonal linker is a scaffold with attachment sites for the components of a ligand-drug-conjugate (LDC), i.e., the ligand, the homopolymer, and the drug unit.
[0705] The term "parallel" is used to indicate branching of two components of a ligand-drug-conjugate, but is not used to indicate that the two components must be in close spatial proximity or have the same distance between them.
[0706] An exemplary graphical representation of an LDC with homopolymer (e.g., polysarcosine or a derivative thereof) units in a parallel (i.e., branched) orientation with respect to the drug unit is as follows: wherein (L) is an orthogonal linker unit, and w is 1 or greater. In certain embodiments, w is 1-5. In certain embodiments, w is 1-4. In certain embodiments, w is 1-3. In certain embodiments, w is 1 and 2. This orthogonal structure is not to be confused with a linear structure. An example of an LDC with homopolymer (e.g., poly-sarcosine or its derivatives) units in a consecutive (i.e., linear) orientation relative to the drug unit is: Ligand-Homopolymer-Drug.
[0707] The orthogonal linker described in the present disclosure contains, but is not limited to, natural or unnatural amino acids, such as lysine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, serine, tyrosine, cysteine, selenocysteine, glycine, homoalanine; amino alcohols; amino aldehydes; polyamines or any combination thereof. One skilled in the art is able to select an appropriate orthogonal linker for the intended LDC compound according to common general knowledge. In some embodiments, the orthogonal linker contains one or more natural or unnatural amino acids. In some embodiments, the orthogonal linker can also contain a polyamine. In one embodiment, the orthogonal linker is selected from the group consisting of glutamic acid, lysine, glycine, ornithine, polyamine or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the orthogonal linker is a lysine residue.
[0708] The term "monomolecular weight homopolymer" or "homopolymer unit" refers to a homopolymer having a unique and specific molecular weight centered around an average molecular weight, as opposed to a mixture of homopolymers of the same nature but having a distribution of sizes and molecular weights. A monomolecular weight homopolymer can be defined with an absolute formula having an absolute number of atoms. The monomolecular weight homopolymer is in contrast to a polydisperse homopolymer, which is traditionally obtained by a one-pot polymerization process and has a polydispersity index (PDI) > 1, which is referred to as "monodisperse" with a PDI equal to 1.
[0709] An inert group or capping group refers to a non-reactive group that terminates any chemical reaction at one end of a polymer, which is non-reactive compared to a functionalized reactive group that terminates the other end of the homopolymer under defined reaction conditions. The resulting polymer is capped in some way by the inert group and is not intended to be covalently linked when used, particularly in LDC technology. In one embodiment, the group only becomes inert after it is covalently bound to one end of the polymer.
[0710] An inert group includes, but is not limited to: acyl (e.g., acetyl), amido, alkyl (e.g., C 1-20 alkyl ether (e.g., C 1-20 alkyl ether), alkyl ester (e.g., C 1-20 alkyl ester), alkyl orthoester (e.g., C 1-20Alkyl orthoester group, alkenyl group, alkynyl group, aryl group, aryl ester group, tertiary amine group, hydroxyl group, aldehyde group. The inert group may also be selected from the same list as the functionalized reactive group.
[0711] A functionalized reactive group is any chemical moiety that is reactive to covalently bondable groups, and is reactive under defined reaction conditions compared to an inert group. Specifically, it can bind to the following groups: carboxylic acids, primary amines, secondary amines, tertiary amines, hydroxyl groups, halogens, esters (e.g., N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, perfluorinated esters, nitrobenzene esters, aza-benzotriazole and benzotriazole activated esters, acylurea), alkynyl groups, alkenyl groups, azides, isocyanates, isothiocyanates, aldehydes, thiol reactive moieties (e.g., maleimides, halomaleimides, haloacetyl groups, pyridyl disulfides), thiols, acrylates, methanesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, trifluoromethanesulfonates, hydroxylamines, chlorosulfonyl groups, and borate-B(OR')2 derivatives, where R' is hydrogen or an alkyl group.
[0712] Functionalized reactive groups include, but are not limited to: carboxylic acids, primary amines, secondary amines, tertiary amines, hydroxyl groups, halogens, esters (e.g., N-hydroxysuccinimide esters, perfluorinated esters, nitrobenzene esters, aza-benzotriazole and activated benzotriazole esters, acylurea), alkynyl groups, alkenyl groups, azides, isocyanates, isothiocyanates, aldehydes, thiol reactive moieties (e.g., maleimide, halomaleimide, haloacetyl, pyridyl disulfide), thiols, acrylates, methanesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, trifluoromethanesulfonates, hydroxylamine, chlorosulfonyl groups, and borate-B(OR')2 derivatives, wherein R' is hydrogen or an alkyl group.
[0713] It should be mentioned that the terms "inert" and "functionalized reactive," used for inert groups and functionalized reactive groups respectively, are interdependent. This means that under specific reaction conditions of the polymer, inert groups will not react, while functionalized reactive groups will react to covalently bind reactants. Therefore, the inert groups and functionalized reactive groups in the polymer are distinct, but they can be selected collectively from the same list of groups.
[0714] The terms “monodisperse” and “disperse” are interchangeable, both defining homopolymers with unique and absolute molecular weights, molecular formulas and molecular structures. The term “monodisperse” does not accurately reflect the preparation process of the product.
[0715] The term "hydrophilic unit" refers to a structural unit that contains hydrophilic groups.
