[0003] The present disclosure relates to antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprising a RAS inhibitor and an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds an antigen target, which may be expressed on a tumor or cancer cell.
[0004] The disclosure further relates to methods and compositions useful in the treatment of a cancer that expresses a target antigen. In some embodiments, the cancer is treated by modulating RAS expression and activity. Also provided are methods of making those compositions.
[0005] Linker-drug conjugates comprising a RAS inhibitor drug moiety and methods of making the same are also disclosed.BACKGROUND
[0006] The RAS family (including KRAS4A, KRAS4B, HRAS, and NRAS) is a family of small, membrane-bound guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that act as molecular switches by cycling between an active GTP -bound state and an inactive GDP -bound state. When RAS binds to a GEF family protein such as S0S1, its conformation changes, and its affinity forGDP is reduced. This causes RAS to dissociate from GDP and bind to GTP, thus becoming active. In normal cells, activation of receptor tyrosine kinases such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) promotes the exchange of GDP and GTP in (and therefore activation of) RAS, which plays a key role in regulating cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation through multiple cascading reactions, including the PI3K-AKT-mT0R, RAF-MEK-ERK, and RALGDS-RAL pathways. Mutations in RAS are often driving forces for carcinogenesis and tumor development, as they disrupt the guanine exchange cycle and lock RAS in the activated state, continuously activating downstream signaling pathways and leading to the development of tumors.
[0007] RAS mutations occur in approximately 19% of all cancers and play an important role in tumor occurrence and progression. Among them, KRAS is the most commonly mutated subtype, followed by NRAS and HRAS. KRAS mutations commonly occur in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and colorectal adenocarcinoma, while NRAS mutations have a relatively higher frequency in hematologic malignancies such as chronic myeloid leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia, as well as in malignant melanoma, thyroid cancer, and laryngeal cancer. HRAS mutations have a relatively higher mutation rate in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, salivary gland carcinoma, and oral cancer.
[0008] Given the key role of the RAS family of proteins in cancer occurrence and progression, there remains a need for the development of RAS inhibitors.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] The present disclosure provides, in part, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) compound. In some embodiments, the ADC compound has biological activity against cancer cells, may inhibit tumor growth in mammals, and / or may be useful for treating human cancer patients.
[0010] In some embodiments, the ADC compounds are capable of binding and killing cancer cells. In some embodiments, the ADC compounds disclosed herein comprise a conjugate linker that attaches a RAS inhibitor to a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the ADC compounds are also capable of internalizing into a target cell after binding. In some embodiments, the Ras inhibitors are molecular glues.

[0198] A general reaction scheme for the formation of antibody drug conjugates is shown in Scheme 1 below:Scheme 1 L-ioo — Li — 1-2 — L3 — L4 — D p, whereinRG is a reactive group on the Ab which reacts with a compatible LIR group on the linker-drug group to form a corresponding L100 group. Li, L2, L3, L4, L100, Ab, p, and L100 are as defined herein.
[0199] Schemes 2 and 3 further illustrate this general approach for the formation of an antibody drug conjugate, wherein the antibody comprises reactive groups (e.g., -SH) which react with an LIR group (as defined herein) to covalently attach the linker-drug group to the antibody. For illustrative purposes only, Scheme 2 shows an antibody having four -SH groups.Scheme 2
[0200] In another aspect, the linker-drug groups are conjugated to antibodies via lysine res- idues in the antibodies. Scheme 3 illustrates this approach for the formation of an antibody drug conjugate wherein a free amine group (e.g., -NH2) from the lysine residues in the antibody reacts with an LIR group (where LIR is an NHS ester, a pentafluorophenyl or a tetrafluorophenyl) to covalently attach the linker-drug group to the antibody via an L100 group (where L100 is an amide). For illustrative purposes only, Scheme 3 shows an antibody having four amine groups.Scheme 3Synthesis of Compounds of Formula (II)
[0201] The general synthetic procedure for preparing compounds of formula (II) is shown in Scheme 4:Scheme 4Scheme 4 illustrates an exemplary preparation of compound of formula (II). The coupling of compounds of formula (1) may be obtained through standard Suzuki coupling conditions (using, for example, Pd(dppf)C12 and K2CO3) to provide compound of formula (2). The compound of formula (2) may be coupled with a compound of formula (3) under Suzuki coupling conditions (for example Pd(dppf)C12 and K2CO3) to give a compound of formula (4), which may be converted to a compound of formula (5) in the presence of iodization reagents, such as I2 or NIS. Deprotection (via hydrolysis of the ester with LiOH H2O, or via removal of a silicon protective group with TBAF) of a compound of formula (5) may then be performed to provide a compound of formula (6). A compound of formula (8) may be attained by routine amid coupling conditions between the compound of formula (6) and the amine of formula (7) with coupling reagents, such as HATU, EDCI / HOBt or PyBOP, in the presence of an organic base such as EtsN, DIPEA or pyridine. Compound of formula (8) may be hydrolyzed to provide the acid of formula (9) using a base such as LiOH H2O. The intramolecular coupling of compound of formula (9) with coupling reagents, such as EDCI / HOBt and HATU, may be used to give a compound of formula (10). The coupling of a compound of formula (10) may be obtained through standard Suzuki coupling conditions (for example Pd(dppf)C12 and K2CO3) to provide compound of formula (11). A compound of formula (11) may be coupled with a compound of formula (12) under Suzuki coupling conditions (for example Pd(dppf)C12 and K2CO3) to give a compound of formula (13). A compound of formula (13) may be converted to a compound of formula (14) with alkylate reagents, such iodomethane or iodoethane, in the presence of an inorganic base, such as CS2CO3. Deprotection of compound (14) in the presence of an acid, suchas TFA, may afford compound of formula (15). Compound of formula (II) can be obtained by a coupling reaction between acid of formula (16) and a compound of formula (15) with coupling reagents, such as HATU, EDCI / HOBy, PyBOP or COMU, in the presence of a base, such as TEA, DIPEA, pyridine or 2,6-lutidine.TERM DEFINITIONS
[0202] Various terms relating to aspects of the description are used throughout the specification and claims. Such terms are to be given their ordinary meaning in the art unless otherwise indicated. Other specifically defined terms are to be construed in a manner consistent with the definitions provided herein.
[0203] The singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The terms “comprising,” “having,” “being of,” “including,” and “containing” are to be construed as open terms (i.e., meaning “including, but not limited to”) unless otherwise noted. Additionally, whenever “comprising” or another open-ended term is used in an embodiment, it is to be understood that the same embodiment may be more narrowly claimed using the intermediate term “consisting essentially of’ or the closed term “consisting of.”
[0204] The term “about” or “approximately,” when used in the context of numerical values and ranges, refers to values or ranges that approximate or are close to the recited values or ranges such that the embodiment may perform as intended, as is apparent to the skilled person from the teachings contained herein. In some embodiments, “about” means plus or minus 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.1% of a numerical amount (e.g., values which are 10%, 5%, or 1% more or less than the specified value).
[0205] The terms “antibody-drug conjugate,” “antibody conjugate,” “conjugate,” “immunoconjugate,” and “ADC” are used interchangeably, and refer to a conjugate having one or more therapeutic compounds (e.g., a RAS inhibitor) that is linked to one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments. In some embodiments, the ADC is defined by the generic formula: Ab-(L-D)p(formula I), wherein Ab is an antibody or antigen-binding fragment (e.g., an anti- EphA2 antibody or anti-B7-H3 antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof) is L=a conjugate linker moiety, D is a drug moiety (e.g., a panRAS inhibitor drug moiety), and p is the number of linker-drug moi eties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In ADCs comprising aRAS inhibitor drug moiety, “p” refers to the number of RAS inhibitor compounds linked to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment.
[0206] The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense to refer to an immunoglobulin molecule that recognizes and specifically binds to a target, such as a protein, polypeptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, or lipid, or a combination of the foregoing, through at least one antigen recognition site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. An antibody may be polyclonal or monoclonal, multiple or single chain, or an intact immunoglobulin, and may be derived from natural sources or from recombinant sources. An “intact” antibody is a glycoprotein that typically comprises at least two heavy(H)chains and two light (L)chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH)and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises three domains, CHI, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region is comprised of one domain, CL. The VH and VL regions may be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDR), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from amino-terminus to carboxylterminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen.
[0207] The constant regions of the antibodies may mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system. An antibody can be a monoclonal antibody, human antibody, humanized antibody, camelised antibody, or chimeric antibody. The antibody may be of any isotype (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA and IgY), class (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl and IgA2), or subclass. An antibody can be an intact antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the antibody is an IgGl antibody.
[0208] The term “antibody fragment,” “antigen-binding fragment,” or “functional antibody fragment” refers to at least one portion of an antibody that retains the ability to specifically interact with (e.g., by binding, steric hinderance, stabilizing / destabilizing, or spatial distribution) an epitope of an antigen (e.g., EphA2 or B7-H3(CD276)). Antigen-binding fragments may also retain the ability to internalize into an antigen-expressing cell. In some embodiments, antigen-binding fragments also retain immune effector activity. The terms antibody, antibody fragment, antigen-binding fragment, and the like are intended to embrace the use of binding domains from antibodies in the context of larger macromolecules such as ADCs. It has been shown that fragments of a full-length antibody can perform the antigen binding function of a full-length antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv fragments, scFv antibody fragments, disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv), a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CHI domains, linear antibodies, single domain antibodies such as sdAb (either VL or VH), camelid VHH domains, multi-specific antibodies formed from antibody fragments such as a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region, and an isolated CDR or other epitope binding fragments of an antibody. An antigen-binding fragment can also be incorporated into a single-domain antibody, maxibody, minibody, nanobody, intrabody, diabody, triabody, tetrabody, bispecific or multi-specific antibody construct, ADC, v-NAR, or bis-scFv. Antigen-binding fragments can also be grafted into scaffolds based on polypeptides such as a fibronectin type I (Fn3). The term“scFv” refers to a fusion protein comprising at least one antigen-binding fragment comprising a variable region of a light chain and at least one antigen-binding fragment comprising a variable region of a heavy chain, wherein the light and heavy chain variable regions are contiguously linked, e.g., via a synthetic linker, e.g., a short flexible polypeptide linker, and capable of being expressed as a single chain polypeptide. The scFv retains the specificity of the intact antibody from which it is derived. Unless specified, an scFv may have the VL and VH variable regions in either order, e.g., with respect to the N-terminal and C-terminal ends of the polypeptide, the sCFv may comprise VL-linker-VH or may comprise VH-linker-VL. Antigen-binding fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those of skill in the art, and the binding fragments are screened for utility (e.g., binding affinity, internalization) in the same manner as are intact antibodies. Antigen-binding fragments may be prepared, for example, by cleavage of the intact protein, e.g., by protease or chemical cleavage.
[0209] The term “anti-EphA2 antibody” or “antibody that binds to EphA2,” refers to any form of antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds, e.g., specifically binds, to EphA2. The term encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antigen-binding fragments so long as they bind, e.g., specifically bind, to EphA2. W02007 / 030642, which is incorporated herein by reference, provides exemplary EphA2 -binding sequences, including exemplary anti-EphA2antibody sequences. In some embodiments, the anti-EphA2 antibody used in the ADCs disclosed herein is an internalizing antibody or internalizing antigen-binding fragment.
[0210] The term “anti-B7-H3 antibody” or “antibody that binds to B7-H3” refers to any form of antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds, e.g., specifically binds, to B7- H3. B7-H3 may also be referred to as CD276. The term encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antigen-binding fragments so long as they bind, e.g., specifically bind, to B7- H3(CD276). WO2017214322 and WO2012147713, which are incorporated herein by reference, provide exemplary B7-H3-binding sequences, including exemplary anti-B7-H3(CD276) antibody sequences. ABBV-155 and DS-5573a are examples of exemplary anti-B7-H3 (CD276) antibodies.
[0211] As used herein, the terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. The terms encompass amino acid polymers comprising two or more amino acids joined to each other by peptide bonds, amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues is a synthetic chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally-occurring amino acid, as well as naturally-occurring amino acid polymers, and non-naturally-occurring amino acid polymers. The terms include, for example, biologically active fragments, substantially homologous polypeptides, oligopeptides, homodimers, heterodimers, variants of polypeptides, modified polypeptides, derivatives, analogs, fusion proteins, among others. The terms also include natural peptides, recombinant peptides, synthetic peptides, or a combination thereof. Unless otherwise indicated, a particular polypeptide sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof.
[0212] The term “chemotherapeutic agent” or “anti-cancer agent” is used herein to refer to an agent that is effective in treating cancer (regardless of mechanism of action). Inhibition of metastasis or angiogenesis is frequently a property of a chemotherapeutic agent. Chemotherapeutic agents include antibodies, biological molecules, and small molecules, and encompass the RAS inhibitors and ADCs described herein. A chemotherapeutic agent may be a cytotoxic or cytostatic agent. The term “cytostatic agent” refers to an agent that inhibits or suppresses cell growth and / or multiplication of cells. The term “cytotoxic agent” refers to a substance that causes cell death primarily by interfering with a cell's expression activity and / or functioning.
[0213] The term “inhibit,” “inhibition,” or “inhibiting” means to reduce a biological activity or process by a measurable amount, and can include but does not require complete prevention or inhibition. In some embodiments, “inhibition” means to reduce the expression and / or activity of RAS and / or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof.
[0214] The term “RAS inhibitor” refers to an agent capable of reducing the expression and / or activity of RAS (e.g., K-Ras (including splice variants KRAS4A and KRAS4B), H-Ras and N-Ras) and / or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof.
[0215] “RAS inhibitor drug moiety,” “RAS inhibitor,” and the like refer to the component of an ADC or composition that is derived from the structure of a RAS inhibitor compound by modifying the compound for attachment to an ADC. The RAS inhibitor retains essentially the same, similar, or enhanced biological function or activity as compared to the original compound. In some embodiments, the panRAS inhibitor drug moiety is component (D) in an ADC of formula (I).
[0216] The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) compounds include those with anti-cancer activity. In particular, the ADC compounds include an antibody or antigen-binding fragment conjugated (i.e., covalently attached by a conjugate linker) to a drug moiety (e.g., a RAS inhibitor). The drug moiety, when not conjugated to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment, has a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect. In some embodiments, the drug moiety when not conjugated to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of reducing the expression and / or activity of RAS and / or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof. Without being bound by theory, the ADCs disclosed herein are hypothesized to to be anti-cancer agents by targeting RAS expression and / or activity. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that by conjugating the drug moiety to an antibody that binds an antigen associated with expression in a tumor cell or cancer, the ADC may provide improved activity, better cytotoxic specificity, and / or reduced off-target killing as compared to the drug moiety when administered alone.
[0217] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt that is non-toxic. When the compound of the present invention is acidic, its corresponding salt can be prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable (e.g. non-toxic) bases, including inorganic bases and organic bases. When the compound of the present invention is basic, its corresponding salt can be conveniently prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable (e.g. non-toxic) acids, including inorganic and organic acids.
[0218] The term “solvate” refers to a solvent addition form of a compound that contains either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent (e.g., water).
[0219] An excipient that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition is generally safe, nontoxic, and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable. The excipient (e.g., carrier) may be acceptable for veterinary use or human pharmaceutical use.
[0220] A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” includes one or more than one such carrier. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” also encompasses “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” and “pharmaceutically acceptable diluent.” The particular carrier used in the pharmaceutical compositions will depend upon the means and purpose for which the conjugates are being applied.

The resin was pelleted and the supernatant analyzed by reverse phase chromatography using an Agilent PLRP-S 4000A 5um,4.6x50mm column (Buffer A is water, 0.1%TFA, Buffer B Acetonitrile, 0.1%TF A, column held at 80°C, Flowrate 1.5 ml / min; Gradient O minutes-30% B, 5 minutes- 45% B, 6.5 min-100% B, 8 minutes- 100%B, 10 minutes-30%).
[0361] Once determined that the antibody has reformed its interchain disulfide bonds, the resin was washed with 10 column volumes PBS and the resin was resuspended in an equal volume PBS and 12 equivalents of the appropriate linker-payload (20 mM)in DMSO was added and then incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. The resin was then washed with 50 column volumes PBS to remove excess linker-payload. The ADC was eluted from the protein A resin with antibody elution buffer. The ADC was then dialyzed into PBS. The material was then concentrated using a centrifugal concentrator using an Amicon Ultra-15, 50KDa, regenerated cellulose (Millipore, UFC0905024), to 4.5 mg / ml and filtered sterilely through 0.22pm sterile PVDF Filter, 25mm (Millapore, SLGV013SL) and stored at 4°C. The following analyses were performed-analytical SEC to determine percent monomer, reduced mass spectroscopy to determine DAR,LAL test to determine endotoxin load and protein concentration was determined by A280 utilizing extinction coefficient and molecular weight of antibody. All in vitro materials were >90%monomer.Percent aggregation's determined by comparison of the area of the high- molecular-weight peak absorbance at 210 and 280 nm with the area of the peak absorbance for monomeric ADC.HRMS data(protein method)indicated a dominant mass of the heavy chain+2 species, giving a DAR of ~4.0 was calculated by comparing MS intensities of peaks for DARI DAR2 and DAR3 species.General Methodology
[0362] Drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) of exemplary ADCs was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC / MS) according to the following method. For all LC methods, mobile phase A was purified MS grade water (Honeywell, LC015- 1), mobile phase B was MS grade 80% Isopropanol (Honeywell LC323-1): 20% acetonitrile (Honeywell, LC015-1), LC323-1), supplemented with 1% of formic acid (FA) (Thermo Scientific, 85178). The column temperature was set at 80°C. A general MS method was optimized for all ADCs synthesized. The column used for analysis was an Agilent PLRP-S 4000 A; 2.1x150 mm, 8 um (Agilent, PL1912-3803). Flowrate used was 0.3 ml / min. The gradient used was 0-0.75 minute 95%A, 0.76-1.9 minute 75%A, 1.91-11.0 minute 50% A, 11.01-11.50 minute 10% A, 11.51- 13.50 minute 95%A, 13.51-18 minute 95% A on an Acuity Bio H-Class Quaternary UPLC (Waters). MS system was Xevo G2-XS QToF ESI mass spectrometer (Waters)and data acquired from 1.5-11 minutes and masses were analyzed between 15000-80000 daltons. DAR was determined from the deconvoluted spectra or UV chromatogram by summing the integrated MS (total ion current) or UV (280 nm) peak area of unconjugated and conjugated givenspecies (mAb or associated fragment), weighted by multiplying each area by the number of drugs attached. The summed, weighted areas were divided by the sum of total area and the results produced a final average DAR value for the full ADC.Size exclusion chromatography (SEC)
[0363] SEC was performed to determine the quality of the ADCs and aggregation percentage (%) after purification. The analysis was performed on analytical column Superdex 200 Increase 5 / 150 GL (GE Healthcare, 28990945) in isocratic conditions 100%PBS pH 7.2 ((Hy- clone SH30028.03)), flow 0.45 ml / min for 8 minutes. The % aggregate fraction of the ADC sample was quantified based on the peak area absorbance at 280 nm. Calculation was based on the ratio between the high molecular weight eluent at 280 nm divided by the sum of peak area absorbance at the same wavelength of the high molecular weight and monomericeluents multiplied by 100%.Data was acquired on an Agilent Bio-Inert 1260 HPLC outfitted with a Wyatt miniDAWN light scattering and Treos refractive index detectors (Wyatt Technologies, Santa Barbara, CA).In vitro assessment of panRAS antibody drug conjugates in multiple cancer cell line
[0364] The RAS antibody drug conjugates were tested against the following cancer cell lines:LU65: JCRB No. JCRB0079 cultured in RPMI-1640+10%FBS;HP AC: ATCC No.CRL-2119 cultured in DMEM:HAM's F12+5%FBS; NC1-H727: ATCC No.CRL-5815 cultured in RPMI-1640+10%FBS; and / or SW1271 : ATCC No.CRL-2177 cultured in DMEM+10%FBS.Inhibition of cell proliferation and survival
[0365] The ability of the RAS antibody drug conjugates to inhibit cell proliferation and survival was assessed using the Promega CellTiter-Glo® proliferation assay.
[0366] Cell lines were cultured in media that is optimal for their growth at 5% CO2, 37°C in a tissue culture incubator. Prior to seeding for the proliferation assay, the cells were split at least 2 days before the assay to ensure optimal growth density. On the day of seeding, cell viability and cell density were determined using a cell counter (Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer, Beckman Coulter). Cells with higher than 85%viability were seeded in white clear bottom 384-well TC treated plates (Corning cat.#3765). Cells were seeded at a density of 1,000 cells per well in 45pL of standard growth media.Plates were incubated at 5% CO2, 37°C overnight in a tissue culture incubator. The next day, indicated compounds and ADCs were preparedat 10X in standard growth media. The prepared compounds and ADCs were then added to the cells resulting in final concentrations of 0.005-100 nM and a final volume of 50 pL per well. Each drug concentration was tested in quadruplets. Plates were incubated at 5% CO2, 37°C for 5 days in a tissue culture incubator, after which cell viability was assessed through the addition of 25pL of CellTiter GloR (Promega,cat#G7573), a reagent which lyses cells and measures total adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes to stabilize luminescent signals prior to reading using a luminescence reader (EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader, PerkinEImer). To evaluate the effect of the drug treatments, luminescent counts from wells containing untreated cells (100% viability) were used to normalize treated samples. A variable slope model was applied to fit a nonlinear regression curve to the data in GraphPad PRISM version 7.02 software. IC50 values were extrapolated from the resultant curves.
[0367] The concentrations of treatment required to inhibit 50% of cell growth or survival (IC50) were calculated with representative IC50 values of the cell lines tested summarized in Table 5. The panRAS ADCs tested (in the table below the “RAS ADC”is KAD-022) on representative cell lines demonstrated in vitro efficacy relative to the isotype matched non- targeting control ADC.
[0368] These studies indicate that RAS ADCs were capable of inhibiting cell proliferation on various cancer cell lines expressing antigens of interest. No cytotoxic activity was observed by the isotype matched non-targeting controls on the cancer cell lines tested.Table 5. RAS ADC CytotoxicityExample 43. Biological Activity ResultsRas: RAFI HTRF Assay
[0369] This example is to verify the binding between RAS protein and its interacting protein (S0S1 or RAFI). When RAS exists with S0S1 or RAF, the two interact to make the energy donor and receptor bound to it close enough, and then when the donor is excited by an external light source, energy resonance transfer occurs, thereby exciting the receptor and emitting a specific wavelength of emitted light, the FRET signal is detected.
[0370] Specific experimental methods: 20 nM purified RAS protein (e.g. KRAS-G12C, G12D, G12V, G12S, WT) was incubated with the drug to be screened (the drug was diluted in a 3-fold gradient to a final concentration of 1000 nM) at room temperature for 1 h. Subsequently, 30 nM purified SOSl-Cat was added and incubated at room temperature for 0.5-1 h. After adding the detection antibody (PerkinElmer, Cisbio, HTRF antibody), the value was measured according to the manufacturer's instructions.Representative compound results
[0371] The representative RAS inhibitor D significantly inhibited the interaction of RAFI with active RASMutantprotein or RASWTprotein.
