AI Technical Summary
Existing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have issues with targeting and toxicity in cancer treatment, especially due to the instability of the linker in plasma or premature release, leading to toxicity and insufficient efficacy.
A series of specific tetrapeptide compounds were designed as linkers that can be efficiently hydrolyzed by cathepsin B, remain stable in plasma, and rapidly release bioactive molecules in lysosomes, thereby improving efficacy and reducing toxicity.
By optimizing the linker sequence, the efficacy of ADC drugs in tumor cells was enhanced, the toxic side effects on normal cells were reduced, and the therapeutic effect and safety were improved.

[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to PCT International Patent Application No. PCT / CN2024 / 134552, filed on November 26, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to conjugates containing tetrapeptides, their preparation methods, intermediate compounds, and uses. Background Technology
[0004] Chemotherapy using cytotoxic agents was once the standard treatment for cancer, but highly lethal cytotoxic molecules can damage normal cells, causing severe toxic side effects. Targeted antitumor drugs, possessing both tumor-targeting and antitumor activity, have become a hot topic in current cancer research; however, the selectivity of targeted drugs often leads to significant toxic side effects, thus limiting their therapeutic efficacy. Biological macromolecular drugs, such as antibodies or antibody fragments, while highly targeted, have limited efficacy against solid tumors. Antibody-drug conjugates are novel targeted antitumor drugs, combining the properties of a targeted portion (e.g., antibody) that recognizes tumor cells and tissues with the toxic effects of small-molecule chemical drugs. Antibody-drug conjugates typically consist of three parts: 1) an antibody or antibody-like component that recognizes tumor cell-specific antigens; 2) a small molecule drug with potent cytotoxicity; and 3) a linker that connects the antibody to the small molecule drug. The linker can be either cleavable or non-cleavable. Cleavable linkers should possess sufficient plasma stability to ensure the integrity of the conjugate in the circulation system, preventing premature detachment of the small molecule toxin and causing toxic side effects to normal tissues in vivo. Simultaneously, after endocytosis by tumor cells, they should rapidly cleave to release the toxin molecules and kill the tumor cells. Non-cleavable linkers generally provide a stable linker after circulation and endocytosis; toxin release usually occurs after the antibody or antibody-like component has been completely broken down by lysosomes. Overall, cleavable linkers are more widely used in conjugate structures.
[0005] The linker portion of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) can largely determine the efficacy and toxicity. The linker may contain short peptide fragments that can be cleaved in cancer cells. Rapid cleavage of short peptides in cancer cells directly translates to increased efficacy, while stability in plasma or other tissue environments indicates low toxicity, thus allowing for increased dosage [Sassoon I, Blanc V. Antibody–Drug Conjugate (ADC) Clinical Pipeline: A Review. Antibody-Drug Conjugates 2013; 1–27].
[0006] Studies have found that cathepsin B is an important enzyme in organisms and plays a crucial role in tumor treatment. Substrate research targeting cathepsin B is of great significance. For example, introducing highly efficient cathepsin B hydrolysate fragments into the linkers of drug-adjuvant inhibitors (ADCs) will allow the ADC drug linkers to be rapidly cleaved within cancer cells, thereby improving drug efficacy. Furthermore, the linker remains stable in plasma or other tissue environments, reducing the toxic side effects caused by the shedding of small molecules. Substrates that can be efficiently and specifically hydrolyzed by cathepsin B, such as short peptides, also have other important uses and properties, such as being used to determine the activity of cathepsin B in samples.
[0007] GGFG (SEQ ID NO:30) is a tetrapeptide linker used for conjugating compounds, unlike previous cleavable linkers such as Val-Ala and Val-Cit. GGFG (SEQ ID NO:30) provides stable plasma stability and excellent intracellular lysis properties. Daiichi Sankyo DS 8201 ADC (Enhertu) utilizes the targeting effect of HER2 antibodies and contains the tetrapeptide linker GGFG sequence (SEQ ID NO:30). The bystander effect generated by the release of camptothecin toxoid further kills surrounding tumor cells, demonstrating good efficacy and safety.
[0008] Although GGFG (SEQ ID NO:30) exhibits good plasma stability and rapid intracellular lysosomal cleavage and release of camptothecin-like toxins in ADC conjugates, concerns remain regarding the safety of partial and premature release during in vivo circulation (Nguyen, TD; Bordeau, BM; Balthasar, JP. Mechanisms of ADC Toxicity and Strategies to Increase ADC Tolerability, Cancer 2023, 15, 713.). Furthermore, the rapid release of lysosomal toxins is also considered one of the important properties of ADC activity in vivo. Enhancing the rate of rapid release of linkers while improving in vivo circulation stability will accelerate the killing process of tumor cells, thereby improving the efficacy and safety of ADC drugs (Zhang et al. Exposure-Efficacy Analysis of Antibody-Drug Conjugates Delivering an Excessive Level of Payload to Tissues. Drug Metab Dispos 47:1146–1155, October 2019; Samantasinghar et al. A comprehensive review of key factors affecting the efficacy of antibody drug conjugate. Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy 161(2023)114408).
[0009] Given the broad application prospects and unique properties of cathepsin B substrates, we conducted in-depth research, designing and studying a series of tetrapeptide sequences that can be specifically cleaved by cathepsin B and remain stable in human blood circulation. Enzymatic methods were used to validate enhanced release activity under simulated lysosomal protease degradation conditions, and stability assays were conducted to identify excellent plasma stability. The validation results provided feedback and model parameter correction for rapid iteration of the next round of molecular model development. Using GGFG (SEQ ID NO:30) as a reference, linkers with superior enzymatic activity and plasma stability were selected, resulting in short peptide linkers suitable for clinical application. These linkers were then used in a wide range of toxin linker-payload structures to create antibody-drug conjugates, producing more hydrophilic, effective, and stable ADC products, ultimately achieving remarkable in vivo antitumor efficacy.
[0010] Through extensive and in-depth research, the inventors have developed a series of antibody-drug conjugates containing specific tetrapeptide compounds, which can be efficiently and specifically hydrolyzed by cathepsin B and have high plasma stability, enhanced in vivo or in vitro efficacy and / or reduced toxicity, thus possessing extremely high application value.

[0315] In embodiments of this disclosure, polydisperse PEG (a non-uniform mixture of size and molecular weight), monodisperse PEG (a single chain length and molecular weight) and discrete PEG can be used as PEG units in the ADC of this disclosure, with preferred PEGs being discrete PEGs, which are compounds synthesized stepwise rather than by a polymerization process, and are single molecules having a defined chain length.
[0316] The ADC disclosed herein may comprise one or more PEG chains consisting of at least two ethylene oxide (CH2CH2O) subunits. The PEG chains may be linked together, for example, in a linear, branched, or star configuration. Typically, at least one PEG chain is functionalized to enable covalent linkage with other components in the linker unit, including via, for example, amines, thiols, NHS esters, maleimides, alkynes, azides, carbonyl groups, or other functional groups. For example, one end of the PEG chain may be functionalized to covalently link to an appropriate site in the linker unit, while the other end (or ends) may be free and unbound, i.e., not linked to other components in the ADC, and may take the form of a methoxy, carboxylic acid, alcohol, or other suitable functional group; or the PEG chains may be covalently linked in tandem between two components of two linker units or inserted into the chain of a linker. The linkages between the PEG chains and the components within the linker unit are cleavable bonds, which may be bonds that are substantially insensitive to cleavage during circulation in plasma but sensitive to cleavage in the intracellular or tumor intracellular environment. Exemplary connections include, but are not limited to, amide bonds, ether bonds, ester bonds, hydrazone bonds, oxime bonds, disulfide bonds, peptide bonds, or triazole bonds.
[0317] Methods of attaching PEG units to the linker units of an ADC are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, PEG can be covalently bound to an amino acid residue via a reactive group. Reactive groups are those to which an activated PEG molecule can bind, such as free amino or carboxyl groups; thiol groups, for example, on cysteine residues, can also be used as reactive groups for linking PEG. In some embodiments, methoxylated PEG (“mPEG”) with different reactive moieties can also be used to link PEG to an amino group. Non-limiting examples of such reactive moieties include succinimidyl succinate (SS), succinimidyl carbonate (SC), mPEG-imino ester, p-nitrophenyl carbonate (NPC), succinimidyl propionate (SPA), and cyanuric chloride. Accordingly, non-limiting examples of mPEG include mPEG-succinimide succinate (mPEG-SS), mPEG-succinimide carbonate (mPEG-SC), mPEG-imide ester, mPEG-p-nitrophenyl carbonate (mPEG-NPC), mPEG-succinimide propionate (mPEG-SPA), mPEG-N-hydroxy-succinimide (mPEG-NHS), mPEG-cyanuric chloride, mPEG2-lysine alcohol-NPC, and mPEG2-Lys-NHS.
[0318] In some embodiments, the PEG unit comprises one or more linear PEG chains, each PEG chain having 2-72 (e.g., 2-60, 2-40, 2-24, 6-60, 8-40, 6-24, 2-30, 2-20, 2-12) ethylene oxide (CH2CH2O) subunits, such as at least 2, at least 3, at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, at least 10, at least 11, or at least 12 ethylene oxide (CH2CH2O) subunits. In a preferred embodiment, the PEG unit comprises at least 2, at least 4, at least 6, at least 8, at least 10, or at least 12 ethylene oxide (CH2CH2O) subunits, for example, the PEG unit comprises 2 to 12, 2 to 10, 2 to 8, 2 to 6, 2 to 4, 4 to 12, 4 to 10, 4 to 8, 4 to 6, 6 to 12, 6 to 10, 6 to 8, 8 to 12, or 8 to 10 subunits. For example, PEG... 4-20 This indicates a PEG unit having 4-20 CH2CH2O subunits.
[0319] Exemplary implementations of linear PEG units (i.e., one end connected to a connector unit and the other end a cap) include:
[0320] -NH-(CH2CH2O) b- CH2CH2COOH;
[0321] -NH-(CH2CH2O) b- CH2CH2C(=O)NH(CH2CH2O)-CH2CH2COOH;
[0322] -C(=O)-(CH2CH2O) b- CH3;
[0323] -(CH2CH2O) b CH3;
[0324] -NH-(CH2CH2O) b- CH2CH2NH-(CH2CH2O)-CH2CH2COOH;
[0325] Each b is independently selected from 2-72 integers, such as 2-60, 2-4, 2-24, 2-10, 4-10, 6-60, 8-40, 6-24, 2-30, 2-20, 2-12, for example 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 20, 24, 30, 35, 40.

This term encompasses a wide range of antibody structures, including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, single-chain or multi-chain antibodies, monospecific or multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), single-domain antibodies, heavy chain antibodies, chimeric or humanized antibodies, intact antibodies, and antibody fragments, provided they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity.
[0537] In this article, "intact antibody" or "full-length antibody" may be used interchangeably, referring to an immunoglobulin molecule containing at least two heavy chains (H) and two light chains (L). Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated as VH in this article) and a heavy chain constant region. Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (abbreviated as VL in this article) and a light chain constant region.
[0538] In this document, the terms "antibody fragment" and "antigen-binding fragment" are used interchangeably and refer to a molecule distinct from the intact antibody that contains a portion of the intact antibody and is capable of binding the antigen bound by the intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2; biantibodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibodies (e.g., scFv); single-domain antibodies; camelid antibodies (heavy chain antibodies) or fragments thereof (e.g., VHH); and monospecific, bispecific, or multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. Unless otherwise stated herein or explicitly contradicted by the context, the term "antibody" as used herein is equivalent to "antibody or an antibody fragment thereof." In some embodiments of the invention, the antibody fragment includes cysteine residue portions for forming interchain disulfide bonds between heavy chains, such as cysteine residues in the antibody hinge region, to provide amino acid residue sites usable for thiol coupling chemistry. In other embodiments of the invention, the antibody fragment includes cysteine residues introduced into the Fc region to provide amino acid residue sites usable for thiol coupling chemistry.
[0539] In this paper, the terms "antigen binding site" and "antigen binding domain" are used interchangeably to refer to the region in an antibody molecule that actually binds to the antigen.
[0540] In this document, the term "multispecific" refers to an antigen-binding molecule (e.g., an antibody) comprising at least two antigen-binding sites, each of which binds to a different antigen or a different epitope, for example, to different epitopes on different antigens or different epitopes on the same antigen. Correspondingly, "single-specific" refers to the ability to bind to only one epitope. "Dual-specific" refers to the ability to bind to two different antigens or epitopes.

[0542] As used herein, a "drug conjugate" refers to a compound in which a target moiety and a biologically active moiety are linked together by a linker. In this invention, when the target moiety in the conjugate is an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, the conjugate may be referred to as an "antibody-drug conjugate" or an ADC.
[0543] "Linker-payload" is a term well known to those skilled in the art, referring to a compound formed by linking a linker to a payload (e.g., a bioactive molecule such as a drug).
[0544] The term "linker" refers to a structural segment that connects a drug to a target portion. It should be understood that a linker has functional groups that can form bonds with functional groups of the target portion before being attached to it. Non-limiting examples of linkers include those involved in embodiments and examples of the present invention.
[0545] A "connector unit" is a structural unit that connects the target portion (Tg) and the remainder of the linker-payload (-L1-A1A2A3A4-L2-L3-D), and can be obtained by reacting a connector unit precursor (Z') in the linker-payload with the target portion. That is, the connector unit has functional groups that can form bonds with functional groups of the target ligand before being connected to the target portion (i.e., the connector unit precursor Z'). In some embodiments, the connector unit precursor (Z') has an electrophilic group capable of interacting with reactive nucleophilic groups present on the target portion (e.g., an antibody) to form a covalent bond between the target portion and the connector unit. Nucleophilic groups on the target portion with this capability include, but are not limited to, thiol, hydroxyl, and amino functional groups. The heteroatoms of the nucleophilic group of the target portion are reactive with the electrophilic group on the connector unit precursor and form a covalent bond between the target portion and the connector unit of the linker-payload portion. Electrophilic groups available for this purpose include, but are not limited to, maleimide compounds, haloamides (e.g., iodine, bromine, or chlorinated); haloesters (e.g., iodine, bromine, or chlorinated); halomethyl ketones (e.g., iodine, bromine, or chlorinated); benzyl halides (e.g., iodine, bromine, or chlorinated); vinyl sulfones, pyridyl sulfides, and methanesulfonyl pyrimidines. The electrophilic group provides a convenient site for linking the target moiety to form a conjugate or target moiety-linker intermediate. In some embodiments, the linker unit precursor has a reactive site with a nucleophilic group that reacts with the electrophilic group present on the target moiety (e.g., an antibody). Electrophilic groups available for this purpose on the target moiety include, but are not limited to, aldehyde and ketone carbonyl groups. The heteroatom of the nucleophilic group of the linker unit precursor can react with the electrophilic group on the target moiety and form a covalent bond with the target moiety. Nucleophilic groups available for this purpose on the linker unit precursor include, but are not limited to, acylhydrazides, hydroxylamines, amino groups, hydrazides, thioureas, carboxylic acid hydrazides, and aryl acylhydrazides. Electrophilic groups on the targeting moiety provide convenient sites for the targeting moiety to connect to form drug conjugates or targeting moiety-linker intermediates. In some embodiments, the sulfur atom of the targeting moiety is bonded to the linker unit by a succinimide ring system formed by the thiol functional group of the targeting ligand and the maleimide moiety of the corresponding linker unit precursor via a Michael addition reaction. In some embodiments, the thiol functional group of the targeting moiety is provided with a sulfur-bonded linker unit by a nucleophilic substitution reaction with the α-haloacetamide moiety to provide a linker unit by nucleophilic substitution of its halogen substituent. In some embodiments, the azide or alkynyl group on the modified targeting moiety undergoes a click chemistry reaction with the alkynyl or azide group of the linker unit precursor (Z') to provide a linker unit comprising a triazole structure. More specific “linker unit” and “linker unit precursor Z'” include, but are not limited to, the embodiments shown for Z herein.
[0546] An "extension unit" is a group or chemical structure that links a linker unit precursor (Z') or linker unit (Z) to a tetrapeptide unit. In some embodiments, an extension unit is included between the linker unit precursor (Z') or linker unit (Z) and the tetrapeptide unit to add additional distance between them, if necessary. In some embodiments, this additional distance may facilitate the activity of an enzyme such as cathepsin B on the tetrapeptide unit. Those skilled in the art will understand that the extension unit can be any group used to provide the linker unit precursor (Z') or linker unit (Z) to the tetrapeptide unit. More specific "extension units" include, but are not limited to, the embodiments shown in L1 herein.
[0547] A “self-cleaving unit” is a group or chemical structure capable of facilitating the release of a bioactive molecule from a drug conjugate. In some embodiments, a “self-cleaving unit” is a self-eliminating group capable of releasing -D without a separate hydrolysis step or subsequent self-elimination event. In some embodiments, a “self-cleaving unit” can provide additional structural components to further facilitate the release of the bioactive molecule from the remainder of the ADC. In some embodiments, a “self-cleaving unit” is a p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PAB) group linked to the carbonyl group of a tetrapeptide unit and directly linked to the PAB moiety of L3 or -D via a carbonate group. More specific “self-cleaving units” include, but are not limited to, the embodiments shown for L2 herein.
[0548] A “spacer unit” is a group or chemical structure that links L2 (when L2 is present) or a tetrapeptide unit (when L2 is absent) to D. In some embodiments, a spacer unit (L3) is present between L2 (when L2 is present) or the tetrapeptide unit (when L2 is absent) and D. The spacer unit may be a functional group that facilitates the connection of L2 or the tetrapeptide unit to D, or it may provide additional structural components to further facilitate the release of D from the remainder of the conjugate (e.g., a methyl carbamate unit), or increase the additional distance between L2 (when L2 is present) or the tetrapeptide unit (when L2 is absent) and D. In some embodiments, L3 is also capable of self-cleavage. In some embodiments, L2 and L3 together or individually function as self-cleavage units. More specific “spacer units” include, but are not limited to, the embodiments shown herein with respect to L3.
[0549] In this document, the term "polysaccharide" refers to a polysaccharide composed of two or more monosaccharide groups linked by glycosidic bonds, which can be α-, β-, or a mixture of α and β. Structurally, it can be linear, branched, or cyclic. The monosaccharides constituting polysaccharides are selected from, but are not limited to, pentose and hexose sugars, such as glucose, galactose, mannose, arabinose, or xylose. Examples of polysaccharides include, but are not limited to, hyaluronic acid, hydroxyethyl starch, xylan, water-soluble starch, water-soluble cellulose, and carboxymethyl cellulose.
[0550] The term "dendritic polymer," also known as a dendritic polymer, refers to linear polymers in which each repeating unit has a dendron.
[0551] The term "cyclodextrin" is a collective term for a series of cyclic oligosaccharides formed from linear starch by cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase produced by Bacillus, typically containing 6 to 12 D-glucan units. Preferably, molecules containing 6, 7, or 8 glucose units are referred to as alpha-, beta-, and gama-cyclodextrins, respectively. The "cyclodextrin" portion attached to a drug conjugate is called a "cyclodextrin unit."

Diastereomers possess different physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, spectral properties, or biological activity. Mixtures of diastereomers can be separated using high-resolution analytical methods such as electrophoresis and chromatography such as HPLC.
[0555] In some embodiments, this application provides compounds containing multiple stereoisomer purities, i.e., enantiomeric or diastereomeric purities expressed in different "ee" or "de" values. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein have an enantiomeric purity of at least 60% ee (e.g., 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.9%, 100% ee, or any value between these listed values).

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein have a diastereomeric purity greater than 99.9% de.
[0556] The determination of diastereomer excess and enantiomeric excess can be performed using a variety of analytical techniques (including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, chiral column chromatography and / or optical rotation determination) and according to conventional procedures familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0560] The term "solvent" refers to an association formed by one or more solvent molecules with the drug conjugate of this invention. Solvents that form solvates include solvents commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry, such as water, ethanol, diethyl ether, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, and dimethyl sulfoxide.
[0561] The term "DAR" refers to the ratio of the biologically active portion (D) to the target portion (Tg) in the drug conjugate molecule (e.g., the compound of formula I) described herein. It should be understood that, in this document, DAR refers to antibody-drug conjugate molecules and is an integer; for example, the DAR of the drug conjugate molecule of the present invention can be 1 to 20, such as an integer from 1 to 16, such as 2-16, 4-16, 5-12, 6-10, 2-8, 3-8, 2-6, 4-6, 6-10, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15. The prepared drug conjugates typically contain one or more drug conjugate molecules with different DARs, which are usually characterized by the average DAR, i.e., the overall ratio of the bioactive portion (D) conjugated to the Tg portion described herein to the Tg portion in the product, as determined by detection methods (e.g., by conventional methods such as mass spectrometry, ELISA, electrophoresis and / or HPLC). This is referred to as the average DAR in this document, and the average DAR may be a decimal. In some embodiments, the average DAR value of the drug conjugate of the present invention is 1 to 16, for example 2-16, 4-12, 3-5, 5-7, 7-9, 3-8, 2-6, 4-6, for example 3.0-8.0, 3.5-4.5, 5.5-6.5 or 7.5-8.5, for example 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, or 10.0, a range with two of these values as endpoints.

In some embodiments, one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) hydrogens of the bioactive molecular portion are substituted with deuterium.
[0566] In this disclosure, "bioactive molecule" refers to any molecule known in the art, including those used for diagnosing and / or treating diseases or for detecting and / or labeling targets, lesions, or diseases, including but not limited to drugs such as antitumor drugs, small molecule drugs, and small molecule antitumor drugs. In drug conjugates, after the linker is cleaved / degraded / enzymatically digested between tumor tissues or within tumor cells, a portion (fragment or group) of a biologically active compound, such as a drug (e.g., a small molecule cytotoxic drug, said drug including a group after losing an atom or group of atoms) or its derivative (e.g., its precursor), can be formed. To avoid ambiguity, "drug" does not only refer to "medicines" approved by pharmaceutical regulatory authorities, but also includes any molecule with potential therapeutic biological activity in clinical practice, or in research and development and academic studies. It should be understood that the bioactive molecule in a drug conjugate refers to a bioactive molecular fragment linked to the linker. Exemplary bioactive molecules for drug conjugates described herein include: cytotoxic agents, STING activators, glucocorticoid compounds, siRNA, topoisomerase I inhibitors, topoisomerase II inhibitors, glycopeptide antibiotics, DNA synthesis interfering agents, microtubule inhibitors, anti-apoptotic agents, mitotic inhibitors, antitumor antibiotics, immunomodulators, alkylating agents, anti-angiogenic agents, antimetabolites, corticosteroids, photosensitizing agents, oligonucleotides, radionuclides, radiosensitizers, topoisomerase inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, TLR7 / 8 agonists, PNU, Bcl-xl inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, transcription inhibitors (e.g., reverse transcriptase inhibitors), proteasome inhibitors, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) inhibitors, protein degraders, glucocorticoid receptor modulators, and other small molecule compounds that inhibit tumor growth. In some embodiments, the bioactive molecule is selected from camptothecin compounds, auristatin compounds, vinca alkaloids, taxane compounds, podophyllotoxin compounds, maytansine compounds, and benzobenzodiazepines (PBDs). In some embodiments, the bioactive molecules include Dxd, Exatecan, SN38, MMAE, MMAF, DM1, DM4, eribulins, tubulysin, duocamycin, thailanstatin A, and amanitin.
[0567] In this application, the term "small molecule" refers to molecules with a molecular weight of less than 2000 Daltons (Da), such as less than 1000 Da, less than 900 Da, less than 800 Da, less than 700 Da, less than 600 Da, or less than 500 Da.
[0568] For drug conjugates linked to a sugar in the targeting moiety (e.g., an antibody including a sugar-modified antibody) by a linker, the term "sugar" refers to a monosaccharide, such as glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), mannose (Man), and fucose (Fuc), and includes modified monosaccharides, i.e., monosaccharides containing substituents and / or functional groups. Examples of modified sugars include amino sugars and sugar acids, such as glucosamine (GlcN), galactosamine (GalN), N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuNAc), and N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc), glucuronic acid (GlcA), and iduronic acid (IdoA). The sugar may be linked to the targeting moiety (e.g., other monosaccharides or polysaccharides on the targeting moiety). For example, it may be linked to a core-N-acetylglucosamine substituent on an antibody.
[0569] The core-N-acetylglucosamine substituent (core-GlcNAc substituent) is defined herein as GlcNAc bonded to the antibody via a C1 bond, preferably via an N-glycosidic bond to the amide nitrogen atom on the side chain of the antibody's asparagine amino acid. The core-GlcNAc substituent may be present at the antibody's native glycosylation site, but it may also be introduced at different sites on the antibody. In this context, the core-N-acetylglucosamine substituent is a monosaccharide substituent, or (if the core-GlcNAc substituent is fucosylated) a disaccharide core-(Fucα1-6)GlcNAc substituent—also referred to as GlcNAc(Fuc).
[0570] "Glycosylation modification" refers to the process of altering the glycan chains of an antibody through glycosylation engineering. Antibody glycosylation can be further modified for various purposes to obtain antibodies with novel glycosylations. For example, glycosylation can be removed to eliminate FcγR affinity and complement binding / effective function; fucose and sialic acid groups can be reduced and dimeric N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, and mannose can be added to enhance Fc-mediated ADCC and CDC effects. Glycosylation modification methods are known in the art, such as increasing or decreasing the glycan chains on the antibody surface by altering the glycosylation sites, modifying the glycan chains in vitro via chemical or enzymatic methods, catalyzing antibody glycosylation by altering the glycosylation pathway of the expression system (e.g., composed of enzymes such as glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), and altering antibody glycosylation by influencing cell culture conditions. In some embodiments, the "glycosylation modification" of this invention is performed by in vitro enzymatic modification of the glycan chains. Preferably, the glycosylation modification of the present invention is carried out by modifying the glycan chain with glycosidases (e.g., glycosidases or glycosyltransferases).
[0571] The modified glycosylated antibody of the present invention refers to an antibody whose glycosylation pattern has been modified compared to an antibody with a natural glycosylation pattern. Preferably, the modified glycosylated antibody refers to an antibody obtained by in vitro enzymatic modification of the glycan chain (e.g., by modification of the glycan chain by a glycosidase (e.g., an endonuclease or glycosyltransferase)) after expression in an expression system (e.g., mammalian cells). More preferably, the modified glycosylated antibody of the present invention refers to an antibody comprising a core -GlcNAc and a sugar derivative E(A)x linked thereto, wherein GlcNAc is bonded to the antibody via a C1 bond, preferably via an N-glycosidic bond to the amide nitrogen atom on the side chain of the asparagine amino acid of the antibody. If the -GlcNAc substituent in the GlcNAc-E(A)x substituent is fucose-substituted, typically fucose is linked to the C6 of the -GlcNAc substituent via α-1,6. The fucosylated -GlcNAc substituent refers to the core -GlcNAc(Fuc), and the fucosylated GlcNAc-E(A)x substituent refers to GlcNAc(Fuc)-E(A)x, where E is a sugar as defined above, and A is a group capable of undergoing a click chemical reaction with the linker unit precursor (Z'), such as an azide group.
[0572] The term "site-specific conjugation" as used in this article refers to the conjugation that specifically links a drug / active substance to a specific site on an antibody via a linker.
[0573] "STING activator" refers to a compound that can activate STING (interferon gene stimulating factor), thereby activating antiviral and antitumor immune responses.
[0574] "Glucocorticoids" also known as "steroids" refer to steroid hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex or synthesized artificially. They are used for anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, anti-shock, and anti-tumor treatments. Representative drugs include dexamethasone, prednisone, and hydrocortisone.
[0575] "Radioactive nuclides," also known as "radionuclides," refer to targeted therapeutic agents or targeted diagnostic agents that destroy diseased tissues by using particles emitted by radioactive nuclides (such as β, α, and γ).
[0576] "VHH," also known as a single-domain antibody (sdAb), refers to a genetically engineered antibody composed solely of the variable region of the heavy chain antibody, containing only the three HCDRs of the heavy chain variable region. VHH possesses antigen specificity and high affinity with just these three HCDRs, while ordinary antibodies require six HCDRs. Crystal structure analysis shows that VHH consists of a scaffold composed of two β-sheets, similar to the folding of traditional antibody VH immunoglobulins.
[0577] The term "amino acid" as used herein has the meaning conventionally understood in the art, including both D- and L-amino acids. The notation of amino acids follows conventional usage. See, for example, Immunology-A Synthesis (2nd Edition, ESGolub and DRGren, Eds., Sinauer Associates, Sunderland, Mass. (1991)), which is incorporated herein by reference. For ease of understanding, the names of amino acids and their corresponding abbreviations are listed in the table below:
[0578] It should be understood that, unless otherwise specified, the amino acids in this invention preferably refer to L-amino acids.

When the number of carbon atoms is not specified, the alkyl group has 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Alkyl in this document is, for example, but not limited to, alkyl groups containing 1-6, 1-5, 1-3, 1-2, 2-5, 2-4, 2-3, or 1 carbon atom. Representative straight-chain '-C1-C8 alkyl' groups include, but are not limited to, -methyl, -ethyl, -n-propyl, -n-butyl, -n-pentyl, -n-hexyl, -n-heptyl, and -n-octyl; while branched -C3-C8 alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, -isopropyl, -sec-butyl, -isobutyl, -tert-butyl, -isopentyl, and -2-methylbutyl." Unsaturated -C2-C8 alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, -vinyl, -allyl, -1-butenyl, -2-butenyl, -isobutenyl, -1-pentenyl, -2-pentenyl, -3-methyl-1-butenyl, -2-methyl-2-butenyl, -2,3-dimethyl-2-butenyl, -1-hexyl, 2-hexyl, -3-hexyl, -ethynyl, -propynyl, -1-butynyl, -2-butynyl, -1-pentynyl, -2-pentynyl, and -3-methyl-1-butynyl. Sometimes the alkyl group is unsubstituted. The alkyl group may be substituted by one or more groups. In other respects, the alkyl group will be saturated.
[0587] Unless otherwise specified, "alkylene" itself, or as part of another term, refers to a substituted or unsubstituted saturated, branched, straight-chain, or cyclic hydrocarbon group having the stated number of carbon atoms, typically 1-10, and having two monovalent groups at the center obtained by removing two hydrogen atoms from the same or two different carbon atoms of the parent alkane. Alkylenes include divalent groups formed by losing one hydrogen atom from an alkyl group as defined above. Typical alkylene groups include, but are not limited to, methylene (CH2), 1,2-ethylene (CH2CH2), 1,3-propylene (CH2CH2CH2), 1,4-butylene (CH2CH2CH2CH2), etc. In a preferred aspect, the alkylene is a branched or straight-chain hydrocarbon (i.e., it is not a cyclic hydrocarbon).
[0588] Unless otherwise specified, "aryl" itself, or as part of another term, refers to a monovalent carbon cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group having the referred number of carbon atoms, typically 6-20 (e.g., 6-10), obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of the parent aromatic ring system, whether substituted or unsubstituted. Some aryl groups are represented by "Ar" in exemplary structures. Typical aryl groups include, but are not limited to, groups derived from benzene, substituted benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, biphenyl, etc. An exemplary aryl group is a phenyl group.
[0589] Unless otherwise indicated, “arylene” on its own or as part of another term refers to an aryl group as defined above that has two covalent bonds (i.e., it is divalent) and can be oriented in the ortho, meta, or para positions, including, for example, p-phenylene, ortho-phenylene, and meta-phenylene.
[0590] Unless otherwise specified, "C3-C8 heterocyclic group" itself or as part of another term refers to a monocyclic or non-aromatic monocyclic or bicyclic ring system having 3 to 8 (e.g., 1-3, 3-6, 3-5, 5-6, e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 4) carbon atoms (also called ring members) and one to four (1, 2, 3, or 4) heteroatom ring members independently selected from N, O, P, or S, obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a ring atom of the parent ring system. One or more N, C, or S atoms in the heterocycle may be oxidized. The ring containing the heteroatom can be aromatic or non-aromatic. A heterocycle in which all ring atoms are involved in the structure of an aromatic compound is called a heteroaryl; otherwise, it is called a heterocarbon ring.
[0591] Unless otherwise specified, heterocycles are attached to their side groups at any heteroatom or carbon atom that will produce a stable structure. Thus, heteroaryl groups can be bonded to the aromatic carbons of their aromatic ring system, referred to as C-linked heteroaryl groups, or to non-double-bonded nitrogen atoms (i.e., not =N-) in their aromatic ring system, referred to as N-linked heteroaryl groups. Therefore, nitrogen-containing heterocycles can be C-linked or N-linked and include pyrrole moieties such as pyrrole-1-yl (N-linked) and pyrrole-3-yl (C-linked), and imidazole moieties such as imidazole-1-yl and imidazole-3-yl (both N-linked) and imidazole-2-yl, imidazole-4-yl, and imidazole-5-yl moieties (all C-linked).
[0592] Unless otherwise specified, “C3-C8 heteroaryl” refers to an aromatic C3-C8 heterocycle, where the subscript indicates the total number of carbons in the cyclic system of the heterocycle or the total number of aromatic carbons in the aromatic ring system of the heteroaryl group, and does not imply the size of the ring system or the presence or absence of ring fusion. Representative examples of C3-C8 heterocycles include, but are not limited to, pyrrolidinyl, azacyclic butyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, benzofuranyl, benzothiophene, indolyl, benzopyrazolyl, pyrrolidinyl, thiophene, furanyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridinyl, pyrazinyl, isothiazolyl, and isoxazolyl.
[0593] When explicitly given, the size of a heterocyclic or heteroaryl ring system is described by the total number of atoms in the rings. For example, specifying a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl indicates the total number of aromatic atoms (i.e., 5 or 6) in the heteroaromatic ring system of the heteroaryl, but does not imply the number of aromatic heteroatoms or aromatic carbons in the ring system. Fused heteroaryls are explicitly referred to or so implied by the context, and are generally described by the number of aromatic atoms in each aromatic ring fused together to form a fused heteroaromatic ring system. For example, a 5,6-membered heteroaryl is an aromatic 5-membered ring fused to an aromatic 6-membered ring, wherein one or both rings have one or more aromatic heteroatoms or wherein heteroatoms are shared between the two rings. Heterocyclic groups include, but are not limited to, 3-10-membered, 3-8-membered, 3-6-membered, and 5-6-membered heterocyclic groups, i.e., heterocyclic groups containing 3-10, 3-8, 3-6, or 5-6 ring members (including carbons and heteroatoms).
[0594] A heterocycle that is fused with an aryl or heteroaryl group through connection to a non-aromatic portion of a fused ring system, thereby maintaining the heterocycle's non-aromatic nature and being part of a larger structure, is an example of an optionally substituted heterocycle, wherein the heterocycle is replaced by ring fusion with the aryl or heteroaryl group. Similarly, an aryl or heteroaryl group fused with a heterocycle or carbocyclic ring that is part of a larger structure through connection to an aromatic portion of a fused ring system is an example of an optionally substituted aryl or heterocycle, wherein the aryl or heterocycle is replaced by ring fusion with the heterocycle or carbocyclic ring.
[0595] Unless otherwise stated, "C3-C8 heterocyclic group" itself or as part of another term refers to the C3-C8 heterocyclic group as defined above, in which one of the hydrogen atoms of the heterocycle is replaced by a bond (i.e., it is divalent). Unless otherwise stated, "C3-C8 heteroaryl group" itself or as part of another term refers to the C3-C8 heteroaryl group as defined above, in which one of the hydrogen atoms of the heteroaryl group is replaced by a bond (i.e., it is divalent).
[0596] Unless otherwise specified, "C3-C8 carbocyclic" itself, or as part of another term, refers to a 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-membered, monovalent, substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated non-aromatic monocyclic or bicyclic carbocyclic ring obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a ring atom of the parent ring system. Representative -C3-C8 carbocyclic groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopentadienyl, cyclohexyl, cyclohexenyl, 1,3-cyclohexadienyl, 1,4-cyclohexadienyl, cycloheptyl, 1,3,5-cycloheptadienyl, cyclooctyl, and cyclooctadienyl. -C3-C8 carbocyclic groups include -C3-C8 cycloalkyl groups, such as -C3-C6 cycloalkyl or -C3-C5 cycloalkyl groups.

[0609] In this document, the term "PEG unit" refers to an organic moiety comprising repeating ethylene-oxygen subunits (PEG or PEG subunits), which can be polydisperse, monodisperse, or discrete (i.e., having a discrete number of ethylene-oxygen subunits). Polydisperse PEG is a non-homogeneous mixture of size and molecular weight, while monodisperse PEG is typically purified from a non-homogeneous mixture and therefore has a single chain length and molecular weight. Preferred PEG units comprise discrete PEG, which is a compound synthesized stepwise rather than via a polymerization process. Discrete PEG provides a single molecule with a defined and specified chain length.
[0610] The PEG unit described herein comprises one or more polyethylene glycol chains, each consisting of one or more enylethoxy subunits covalently linked together. The polyethylene glycol chains may be linked together, for example, in a linear, branched, or star configuration. Typically, prior to incorporation into the conjugate, at least one polyethylene glycol chain is derivatized at one end with an alkyl portion substituted with an electrophilic group to covalently link to the urethane nitrogen of the methylene carbamate unit. Typically, the terminal ethoxy groups in each polyethylene glycol chain that do not participate in the covalent linking to the remainder of the linker unit are modified with PEG end-capping units, typically optionally substituted alkyl groups such as -CH3, CH2CH3, or CH2CH2CO2H. In some implementations, the PEG unit has 2-72, such as 2-70, 2-60, 2-50, 2-24, 2-20, 2-18, 2-16, 2-10, 2-8, 4-50, 4-20, 4-18, 4-16, 4-10, or 4-8 -CH2CH2O- subunits. PEG 4-20 This refers to a PEG unit having 4-20 -CH2CH2O- subunits, which may be linear or branched. Preferably, the PEG unit is linear. Exemplary embodiments of a linear PEG unit (i.e., one end connected to a linker unit and the other end a cap) include:

[0617] "Prophylactic effective dose" refers to the amount of medication administered at the required dose for the required duration to effectively achieve the desired preventive outcome. Typically, because prophylactic doses are administered to individuals before or at an early stage of the disease, the prophylactic effective dose will be less than the therapeutic effective dose.
[0618] "Therapeutic effective dose" refers to the amount that effectively achieves the desired therapeutic outcome at the required dose and for the required duration. Therapeutic effective dose can vary depending on various factors such as disease state, individual age, sex, and weight. Therapeutic effective dose is the amount at which any toxic or harmful effects are less than the beneficial therapeutic effect. Relative to untreated subjects, "therapeutic effective dose" preferably inhibits a measurable parameter (e.g., tumor growth rate) by at least about 20%, more preferably at least about 40%, even more preferably at least about 60%, and still more preferably at least about 80%. The ability of the antibody of the present invention to inhibit measurable parameters (e.g., tumor volume) can be evaluated in animal model systems that predict efficacy in human tumors.
[0619] The term "antitumor effect" refers to biological effects that can be demonstrated through a variety of means, including but not limited to, for example, reduction in tumor volume, reduction in the number of tumor cells, reduction in tumor cell proliferation, or reduction in tumor cell survival.
[0620] The term "pharmaceuticalally acceptable excipient" refers to diluents, adjuvants (e.g., Freund's adjuvants (complete and incomplete)), carriers, or stabilizers that are administered together with the active substance. It may also be called "pharmaceutical excipient."
[0621] The term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a composition which is present in a form that allows the biological activity of the active ingredient contained therein to be effective, and which does not contain any additional ingredients that would have unacceptable toxicity to a subject administering the composition.
[0622] The terms “drug combination,” “combination product,” “drug conjugate,” or “combination product” refer to non-fixed combination products or fixed combination products, including but not limited to pillboxes and pharmaceutical compositions. The term “non-fixed combination” means that the active ingredients (e.g., (i) the molecules of the present invention (e.g., ADCs) comprising their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and (ii) other therapeutic agents) are administered to a patient simultaneously, without a specific time limit, or sequentially at the same or different time intervals, in separate entities, wherein such administration to the patient provides a preventive or therapeutically effective level of two or more active agents. In some embodiments, the molecules of the present invention (e.g., ADCs) used in the drug combination comprise their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and other therapeutic agents administered at levels not exceeding those obtained when used alone. The term “fixed combination” means that two or more active agents are administered to a patient simultaneously in the form of a single entity. Preferably, the dosage and / or time interval of the two or more active agents are selected so that the combined use of the components produces an effect greater than that achieved by using any one component alone in treating a disease or condition. The components may each be in separate formulations, and their formulations may be the same or different.
[0623] The terms "combination therapy" or "treatment in combination" refer to the administration of two or more therapeutic agents or modalities of treatment (e.g., radiation therapy or surgery) to treat the disease described herein. Such administration includes the co-administration of these therapeutic agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule containing active ingredients in a fixed proportion. Alternatively, such administration includes the co-administration of individual active ingredients in multiple or separate containers (e.g., tablets, capsules, powders, and liquids). Powders and / or liquids may be reconstituted or diluted to the desired dose prior to administration. Furthermore, such administration includes the sequential administration of each type of therapeutic agent at substantially the same time or at different times. In either case, the treatment regimen will provide the beneficial effect of the combination of drugs in treating the condition or symptom described herein.
[0624] When used herein, “prevention” includes the suppression of the occurrence or development of a disease or condition or symptoms of a particular disease or condition. In some implementations, subjects with a family history of cancer are candidates for preventative protocols. Generally, in the context of cancer, the term “prevention” refers to the administration of a drug prior to the onset of signs or symptoms of cancer, particularly in subjects at risk of cancer.
[0625] When used herein, the terms “molecule of the invention” or “compound of the invention” include, for example, drug conjugates (compounds of formula I), compounds of formula II, compounds of formula III or their stereoisomers, isotopic variants, prodrugs, pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates, etc., as defined herein (especially in the embodiments and examples sections).

[0674] Characterization data of fluorescently labeled 4-peptides
[0675] Example 3. Determination of enzymatic cleavage activity and stability of tetrapeptide compounds
[0676] Fluorescence and liquid chromatography were used to characterize the experimental results. The main reagents and consumables were cathepsin B (Beijing Yiqiao Shenzhou Technology Co., Ltd.), microplate reader (MD ID3), high-performance liquid chromatography (Shimadzu LC-2010, Agilent), and chromatographic column (AQ C18). Other routine reagents were commercially available analytical grade chemicals.
[0677] Example 3.1 Detection of enzyme digestion activity using fluorescence method
[0678] Detection principle
[0679] The substrate short peptide has the structure Ac-tetrapeptide-AMC. The N-terminus is protected by an acetyl group, which protects the free amino group. The tetrapeptide is recognized and bound by cathepsin. The AMC molecule does not fluoresce when bound to the short peptide, but it fluoresces when cleaved (excitation light 380 nm, emission light 440 nm). Utilizing this property of the AMC molecule, the fluorescence intensity after enzyme cleavage can represent the efficiency of cathepsin B cleavage of the short peptide [Richard JA, Meyer Y, Jolivel V, et al. Latent fluorophores based on a self-immolative linker strategy and suitable for protease sensing. Bioconjug Chem 2008; 19:1707–1718].
[0680] Enzyme activity detection methods
[0681] Enzyme activity (U) is defined as 1 U, representing the breakdown of 1 μmol of short peptides by cathepsin B per minute. The reaction was performed in a 96-well microplate. The 1x reaction solution contained 100 mM acetate / sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.5), 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, cathepsin B (activated), and short peptide substrate. The 1x reaction buffer was prepared first, followed by the substrate in each well, then the cathepsin B, and the plate was placed in the microplate reader to begin the reaction. The cathepsin B was activated by incubating it in pH 5.5 buffer for 15 min [Mach L, Mort JS, ...]. J. Maturation of human procathepsin B. Proenzyme activation and proteolytic processing of the precursor to the mature proteinase, in vitro, are primarily unimolecular processes. J Biol Chem 1994; 269:13030–13035. Fluorescence detection was performed with excitation light at 380 nm and absorption light at 440 nm, for 1 hour, with readings every 10 minutes. Each reaction was performed in triplicate.
[0682] Enzyme activity kinetic parameters were determined. Substrate concentrations of 200, 400, 600, and 800 μM were used to detect enzyme activity, and the results were plotted as kinetic curves. If the Km value was low, the concentrations were reduced to 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 μM for enzyme activity detection, and kinetic curves were plotted as well. Kinetic parameters Kcat, Km, and Kcat / Km were fitted based on the kinetic curves.
[0683] For example, the enzyme activity curve (Figure 1) and enzyme kinetic curve (Figure 2) of Ac-GQKN-AMC (SEQ ID NO:77).
[0684] Fluorescence detection results
[0685] The results of the fluorescence assay are summarized in Table 1 below. Dozens of short peptide sequences (Ac-tetrapeptide-AMC, which are represented as tetrapeptide sequences in the following results for simplicity) were detected by fluorescence. Several short peptide sequences with enzyme digestion efficiencies far exceeding (more than 10 times the activity) of GGFG (SEQ ID NO:30) were successfully obtained, such as RLWQ (SEQ ID NO:54), RDVT (SEQ ID NO:53), and RDIQ (SEQ ID NO:55), which are completely different from those reported in the literature [Eastman P, Swails J, Chodera JD, et al. OpenMM 7: Rapid development of high performance algorithms for molecular dynamics. PLOS Computational Biology 2017; 13:e1005659; Richard JA, Meyer Y, Jolivel V, et al.

[0687] Example 3.2 Enzyme digestion activity detection by HPLC and LC-MS
[0688] HPLC was reused to detect enzyme activity. HPLC can more accurately identify the concentration of substrate and product, but the experimental throughput is relatively low. Enzyme activity is defined as enzyme activity, where 1 U represents the breakdown of 1 μmol of short peptides by cathepsin B per minute.
[0689] The reaction was carried out in 1.5 mL EP tubes; the 1x reaction solution contained 100 mM acetate / sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.5), 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, cathepsin B (activated), and short peptide substrate. The 1x reaction buffer was prepared in the following order: first, the substrate was added to each well, then cathepsin B was added, and the tubes were placed in a shaker to start the reaction. The cathepsin B was activated by incubating it in pH 5.5 buffer for 15 min [Musil D, Zucic D, Turk D, et al. The refined 2.15A X-ray crystal structure of human liver cathepsin B: the structural basis for its specificity. The EMBO Journal 1991; 10:2321–2330]. The liquid chromatography method used an Agilent 1260 system with a C18 AQ column, water (A) and acetonitrile (B) as the mobile phase, as shown in the table below (gradually increasing from 5% to 90% within a 13-minute time interval), a flow rate of 0.4 mL / min, and a 224 nm detector. The elution time and peak shape could be adjusted by varying the mobile phase ratio for different short peptides.
[0690] Mass spectrometry identification: The enzyme concentration and reaction time were adjusted to achieve a conversion rate between 20% and 80% before sample detection by mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometry method used was a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (4500 MD), with a gradient method employed in the liquid phase. The mass spectrometry portion detected molecular weights from 0 to 1000 Da.
[0691] Table 2. Injection conditions for HPLC detection.
[0692] HPLC and LC-MS detection results
[0693] The HPLC results were consistent with those obtained by fluorescence assay. RLWQ (SEQ ID NO:54), GGVCit (SEQ ID NO:80), GGFG (SEQ ID NO:30), GQKN (SEQ ID NO:77), and NYEE (SEQ ID NO:31) were selected for mass spectrometry identification, confirming the cleavage site as the amide bond linked to AMC. The final mass spectrometry results indicate that the cleavage mode is consistent with the theoretical assumption. The enzyme activity detection results by HPLC are shown in Table 3 below.

[1257] Example 6. Synthesis of ADC
[1258] General Method A
[1259] 2.86 mg / ml of antibody (e.g., the bispecific antibody of this application) in 50 mM NaOAc-HAc (pH 5.5) was placed in a Biofil tube. 6 molar equivalents of TCEP (Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride, 5 mM) were added to the antibody buffer (TCEP:antibody = 6:1). The Biofil tube containing the reaction mixture was placed on a shaker (x500 rpm) and reacted at 37°C for 2 hours. An additional 6 molar equivalents of TCEP (5 mM) were added to the mixture, and the reaction mixture was shaken on a shaker (500 rpm) at 37°C for another 2 hours. Then, the mixture was ultrafiltered (MWCO 30 kDa) 6 times to remove TECP, replenishing to the initial volume with 10 mM His-Hac (pH 6.2) buffer after each ultrafiltration. 12 molar equivalents of linker-payload (5 mg / ml in DMA) were added dropwise to the fully reduced antibody while maintaining the DMA concentration below 20% (v / v). The reaction was incubated at room temperature on a shaker for 1 hour (linker-payload:antibody = 6:1). The conversion was assessed using HIC-HLPC, and purification was performed immediately after complete conversion.
[1260] Ultrafiltration purification method: Transfer the reaction mixture to an ultrafiltration tube (MWCO 30kd), and add 20% DMA / 10mM His-HAc (pH 6.2) to the maximum volume of the ultrafiltration tube. Centrifuge the sample at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. When approximately half the maximum volume of the ultrafiltration tube remains, replenish the solution with 20% DMA / 10mM His-HAc to the initial volume. Discard the flow-through. Repeat the washing step 10 times. Then, replace the solution with 10mM His-HAc (pH 6.2) 10 times until the organic solvent DMA is completely replaced. Transfer the remaining solution and add an appropriate amount of 10mM His-HAc (pH 6.2). Rinse the filter membrane twice, and combine the solutions to obtain the final coupling product. Determine the concentration using the BCA method. If the final concentration is lower than the desired concentration, concentrate it to the expected concentration using an ultrafiltration membrane (MWCO 30kd).
[1261] General Method B
[1262] Place 6.31 mg / ml of antibody (e.g., the Trastuzumab antibody of this application) in an Eppendorf tube in PBS buffer. Add 8 molar equivalents of TCEP (Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride, 10 mM concentration) to the antibody buffer (TCEP:antibody molar ratio = 8:1). Place the Eppendorf tube containing the reaction mixture on a shaker (x500 rpm) at 37°C for 4 hours, then ultrafilter (MWCO 30 kDa, Millipore filter) 6 times, each time to half the solution volume. Replenish the reduced antibody solution to the initial volume with 10 mM His-hac buffer to remove TECP. Add 10 molar equivalents of linker-payload (i.e., linker-payload, 5 mg / ml DMA solution) dropwise to the completely reduced antibody until the linker-payload to antibody molar ratio reaches 10:1. During the addition, keep the DMA concentration below 10% (v / v), otherwise adjust with buffer. The reaction was maintained at room temperature (500 RPM) for 1 hour using a shaker. Conversion was assessed using HIC-HLPC. Once conversion was complete, 10 molar equivalents of cysteine (10 mM) were added. The reaction was then maintained at room temperature (cysteine:antibody = 10:1) on a shaker for 30 minutes to deplete excess free linker-load. After completion, the reaction mixture was transferred to an ultrafiltration tube (MWCO 30 kDa), and the sample was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 minutes to half the solution volume. The volume was then replenished with 10 mM His-HAc (10% DMA). The flow-through was discarded. The washing step was repeated 10 times. The solution was then replaced by washing 10 times with 10 mM His-HAc at pH 6.0. The remaining solution was transferred, and an appropriate amount of 10 mM His-HAc (pH 6.2) was added. The filter membrane was rinsed twice, and the solutions were combined to obtain the final conjugated product.
