Abstract
Description
Novel dispirodiketopiperazine compounds
[0001] The present invention relates to novel dispirodiketopiperazine compounds, ligand-drug conjugates containing the dispirodiketopiperazine compound or its derivatives, particularly antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), pharmaceutical compositions containing the ligand-drug conjugate, methods for treating diseases (particularly cancer) characterized by administering the ligand-drug conjugate, and manufacturing intermediates for producing the ligand-drug conjugate.
[0002] An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is a combination of an antibody that binds to a specific target molecule and a physiologically active drug. In one embodiment, an ADC for cancer treatment is a combination of an antibody that binds to an antigen expressed on the surface of cancer cells, thereby internalizing the antigen into the cell, and a cytotoxic drug. ADCs are expected to efficiently deliver drugs to cancer cells, causing drug accumulation within the cancer cells and ultimately leading to cancer cell death. Examples of ADCs include Adcetris® (brentuximab vedotin), which is an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody conjugated with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), and is approved for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Additionally, Kadcyla® (trastuzumab emtansine), which is an anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody conjugated with emtansine, is used to treat HER2-positive advanced and recurrent breast cancer.
[0003] Known cytotoxic substances used as payloads for ADCs include tubulin polymerization inhibitors such as monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and maytansinoids (DM), and topoisomerase I inhibitors such as exatecan derivatives (DXd) (Non-Patent Literature 1, Non-Patent Literature 2).
[0004] Compounds possessing a dispirodiketopiperazine structure have been reported to have potent and cancer cell-selective cytotoxic activity (Patent Document 1). These compounds have been reported to highly selectively inhibit cell proliferation in cancer cells by stabilizing a complex containing NuMA1 and CKAP5 (Patent Document 2). However, it remains completely unknown whether compounds with a dispirodiketopiperazine structure can effectively function as payloads for ADCs.

[0007] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a novel ligand-dispirodiketopiperazine compound conjugate and a novel dispirodiketopiperazine compound. A further problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a novel pharmaceutical composition containing a ligand-dispirodiketopiperazine compound conjugate having antitumor activity. Another further problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a novel method for treating tumors using a ligand-dispirodiketopiperazine compound conjugate.
[0008] As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the present inventors discovered that a compound having a specific dispirodiketopiperazine structure is useful as a cytotoxic substance, and in particular is suitable as a payload for ligand-drug conjugates. Furthermore, they confirmed that a ligand-drug conjugate in which this compound is bound to a ligand exhibits suitable cytotoxic activity and antitumor effects, thus completing the present invention.

[0078] <2. Ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention> In one embodiment, the present invention relates to the following formula (I):
[0079]
[0080] This relates to compounds indicated by or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or solvates thereof.
[0081] In formula (I), m 1 m represents the number of drug-bound ligand molecules in the ligand-drug conjugate. In one embodiment, m 1 represents an integer from 1 to 20, preferably an integer from 1 to 10, more preferably an integer from 1 to 8, even more preferably an integer from 3 to 8, and even more preferably 4 or 6.
[0082] In the manufacture of ligand-drug conjugates, reaction conditions such as the amount of raw materials and reagents used are specified so that the number of drug molecules bound is constant. However, unlike the chemical reactions of low-molecular-weight compounds, ligand-drug conjugates with different numbers of drugs bound (i.e., m 1 It is usually obtained as a mixture of two or more different ligand-drug conjugates. Therefore, although the ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention has an integer number of drug bindings per molecule, it may also be specified by its average value, i.e., the average number of drug bindings (drug-antibody binding ratio: DAR), in which case it is not necessarily described as an integer. One embodiment of the DAR is a number from 1 to 20, preferably from 1 to 10, more preferably from 1 to 8, and even more preferably from 3 to 8. Another embodiment of the DAR may be a number from 3 to 5 or from 5 to 7.
[0083] In formula (I), Li represents the ligand, L represents the linker that connects Li and D, and D represents the payload (drug). These will be described in detail below.
[0084] <2-1. Ligands> In the present invention, “ligand” means a structural unit that binds to a specific receptor, antigen, or other receptor site (target molecule). Ligands may be molecules that bind to components of a cell population that is to be therapeutically or biologically modified. Ligands play a role in transporting a drug (a structural unit represented by “D” in formula (I) of the present invention, which may also be referred to herein as the “payload”) to a specific target cell population to which the ligand binds. The binding of a ligand to its target molecule is typically a reversible reaction formed by ionic bonds, covalent bonds, van der Waals interactions, and / or hydrogen bonds, and such reactions can be measured and evaluated by various known techniques. Such ligands include, but are not limited to, large molecular weight proteins such as full-length antibodies and antibody fragments, small molecular weight proteins, polypeptides or peptides, lectins, and cells.
[0085] The ligands of the present invention are linked to a drug by a linker (meaning the structural unit represented by "L" in formula (I) of the present invention). In one embodiment, the ligands of the present invention can form a bond with stretcher units or amino acid units of the linker. In one embodiment, the ligand can form a bond with the linker via heteroatoms present in the ligand. Heteroatoms that may be present on the ligand include sulfur (in one embodiment, from the sulfhydryl group of the ligand), oxygen (in one embodiment, from the carbonyl, carboxy, or hydroxyl group of the ligand), and nitrogen (in one embodiment, from the primary or secondary amino group of the ligand). These heteroatoms may be present on the ligand in its natural state or may be introduced into the ligand through chemical modification.
[0086] In a preferred embodiment, the ligand has a sulfhydryl group (-SH), and the ligand is bonded to the linker via the sulfur atom of the sulfhydryl group. In other embodiments, the ligand may have one or more groups that can be chemically modified to have one or more sulfhydryl groups. Maleimide groups are, but are not limited to, reaction sites on the linker that can react with sulfhydryl groups present on or introduced on the ligand.
[0087] In another embodiment, the ligand may have one or more groups that, when oxidized, yield an aldehyde group (-CHO) (see Laguzza et al., J. Med. Chem., 1989, 32(3), 548-555). The aldehyde group present on or introduced on the ligand forms a bond with the reaction site on the linker. Examples of reaction sites on the linker that can react with the aldehyde group or carbonyl group on the ligand include, but are not limited to, hydrazine and hydroxylamine.
[0088] In yet another embodiment, the ligand can also be linked to the linker using click chemistry. For example, the azide group present in or introduced in the ligand can be reacted with the alkyne moiety present in or introduced in the linker to link the ligand and the linker via a 1,2,3-triazole ring.
[0089] In one embodiment, the ligand of the present invention is a non-immunoreactive protein, polypeptide, or peptide ligand, and examples include, but are not limited to, transferrin; epidermal growth factor (EGF); bombesin; gastrin; gastrin-releasing peptide; platelet-derived growth factor; IL-2; IL-6; transforming growth factors (TGF) such as TGF-α and TGF-β; vaccinia growth factor (VGF); insulin and insulin-like growth factors I and II; lectins and apolipoproteins from low-density lipoproteins.
[0090] <2-2. Antibodies> In one embodiment of the present invention, the ligand (Li) is an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof will be denoted as "Ab". Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention is the following formula (IV), where Li in formula (I) is Ab:
[0091]
[0092] (In the formula, Ab represents an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, L represents a linker that connects Ab and D, and D and m 1 The compound represented by (wherein it is the same as the definition of each group specified for formula (I) above), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a solvate thereof.
[0093] The antibody used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention refers to an immunoglobulin, which is a molecule containing an antigen-binding site that specifically binds to an antigen. The antibody used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention may be any of the classes IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA, and IgY, but IgG is preferred. Furthermore, the subclass of IgG may be any of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2, but IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4 is preferred. Therefore, in one embodiment, the antibody used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention is IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4, and the antigen-binding fragment of the antibody used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention is an antigen-binding fragment of IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4.
[0094] It is known that the constant region of an antibody can have multiple allotypes. For example, G1m17, G1m3, G1m1, and G1m2 can be listed as allotypes of IgG1.
[0095] The antibody used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention may originate from any species, but is preferably derived from humans, monkeys, rats, mice, rabbits, camels, alpacas, or llamas. If derived from a species other than humans, it is preferable to chimerize or humanize it using well-known techniques. Therefore, in one embodiment, the antibody used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention is a human antibody, a chimeric antibody, or a humanized antibody, and is preferably a human antibody or a humanized antibody. The antibody of the present invention may be a polyclonal antibody or a monoclonal antibody, but monoclonal antibodies are preferred, and may be a monospecific antibody or a polyspecific antibody (dispecific antibody, trispecific antibody, etc.).
[0096] In the present invention, "antigen-binding fragment of an antibody" means a partial fragment of an antibody having antigen-binding activity or a fusion polypeptide containing an antigen-binding site of an antibody (variable region of the light chain and / or heavy chain or CDR, etc., contained in said variable region), and includes Fab, F(ab')2, Fv, scFv, VHH (variable domain of heavy chain of heavy-chain antibody) antibody, diabody, linear antibody, antibody or multispecific antibody formed from its antigen-binding fragment, and fusion proteins in which antigen-binding ability is conferred by linking scFv to the functional domain of another protein. Furthermore, Fab', a monovalent fragment of the variable region of an antibody obtained by treating F(ab')2 under reducing conditions, is also included in antibody antigen-binding fragments. However, the invention is not limited to these molecules as long as they have the ability to bind to an antigen. In addition, these antigen-binding fragments include not only full-length antibody molecules treated with appropriate enzymes, but also proteins produced in appropriate host cells using genetically modified antibodies or genes encoding their antigen-binding sites. In one embodiment of the present invention, the antigen-binding fragment of the antibody is selected from the group consisting of Fab, F(ab')2, Fab', Fv, scFv, VHH, and scFv-containing fusion proteins.
[0097] In one embodiment of the present invention, the antigen-binding fragment includes a functional fragment that retains asparagine (Asn297 or N297) and surrounding amino acids that are modified by well-conserved N-linked glycans in the Fc region of the IgG heavy chain, and that has the ability to bind to an antigen.
[0098] Whether the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention specifically binds to a particular antigen can be determined by known methods, such as flow cytometry.
[0099] The antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention is not particularly limited, but may target tumor cells, immune cells, or stromal cells, but is not limited to these. In one embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention is an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that targets tumor cells.
[0100] The antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention preferably possesses at least one of the following properties: the ability to recognize cells expressing a target antigen, the ability to bind to cells expressing a target antigen, the ability to be taken up and internalized within cells expressing a target antigen, and the ability to damage cells expressing a target antigen. Whether the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention has the ability to recognize cells expressing a target antigen or the ability to bind to cells expressing a target antigen can be determined by known methods, such as flow cytometry.
[0101] In one embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention has the ability to be internalized into cells, preferably into cells expressing the target antigen in tumor cells and / or cells in their midstium (e.g., cancer-associated fibroblasts: CAFs, vascular endothelial cells, vascular pericytes, immune cells, etc.). The internalization of antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments into cells can be confirmed using known methods such as (1) an assay that visualizes antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments taken into cells using a fluorescence microscope with a secondary antibody (fluorescently labeled) that binds to the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment (Cell Death and Differentiation, 2008, 15, 751-761), (2) an assay that measures the amount of fluorescence taken into cells using a secondary antibody (fluorescently labeled) that binds to the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment (Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2004, 15, 5268-5282), (3) an assay that evaluates the growth inhibitory activity against a cell line using an antibody-drug conjugate in which a compound having cytotoxic activity is conjugated to the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment via a linker, and (4) the Mab-ZAP assay (Bio Techniques, 2000, 28: 162-165).
[0102] In one embodiment, the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention has the property of damaging cells expressing the target antigen. In particular, when an antibody targeting tumor cells is used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention, the antibody itself may have antitumor activity. Antitumor activity of an antibody refers to cytotoxic activity against tumor cells, activity that brings about tumor regression, etc. The property of damaging cells and the antitumor activity described above can be confirmed using known in vitro or in vivo evaluation systems, cytotoxicity tests using antigen-positive cells as in Test Examples 1 to 6, and antitumor tests using mice transplanted with tumor cells as in Test Examples 8 to 17.
[0103] When IgG1 is used as the antibody in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention, the effector function can be adjusted by substituting a portion of the amino acid residues in the constant region. In one embodiment, antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) can be enhanced or reduced, antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP) can be enhanced or reduced, or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) can be enhanced or reduced. One example of a variant of IgG1 that reduces or weakens the effector function is the substitution of leucine at position 234 and 235 of the amino acid sequence in the constant region of wild-type human IgG1, as identified by the EU index (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1969, 63(1), 78-85), with alanine and alanine, respectively (LALA mutation); the substitution of leucine at position 234, 235, and aspartic acid at position 265, as identified by the EU index, with alanine, alanine, and glycine, respectively (LALADG mutation); or the substitution of leucine at position 234, 235, and proline at position 329, as identified by the EU index, with alanine, alanine, and alanine, respectively (LALAPA mutation). Accordingly, in one embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention comprises the Fc region of the IgG1 heavy chain or a fragment thereof, and the Fc region of the IgG1 heavy chain or the fragment thereof has an effector function, in particular a mutation that affects ADCC, ADCP and / or CDC, for example, a LALA mutation, a LALADG mutation or a LALAPA mutation.
[0104] It is known that both the heavy and light chains of antibodies have three complementarity determining regions (CDRs). CDRs, also known as hypervariable regions, are areas within the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of antibodies that exhibit particularly high variability in their primary structure. They are separated into three distinct locations on the primary structure of the polypeptide chains of both the heavy and light chains. In this specification, the CDRs of the heavy chain are denoted as CDRH1, CDRH2, and CDRH3, starting from the amino-terminal end of the heavy chain amino acid sequence, and the CDRs of the light chain are denoted as CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3, starting from the amino-terminal end of the light chain amino acid sequence. These regions are in close proximity to each other in terms of three-dimensional structure and determine the specificity for the antigen to which they bind. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, amino acid sequences are determined according to the IMGT definition (Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 2003, 27, 55-77).

[0109] In the present invention, the identity between amino acid sequences can be evaluated based on any known method. In one embodiment, sequence identity in the present invention refers to the percentage of identical amino acids per total number of amino acids (including gaps) when two amino acid sequences are aligned to maximize the degree of amino acid similarity.

[0110] Furthermore, by combining amino acid sequences in which one to several amino acid residues are substituted, deleted, inserted, and / or added in the heavy chain and / or light chain amino acid sequences, it is possible to select antibodies with various effects equivalent to those of the antibodies described above. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention includes an antibody or antigen-binding fragment which is a combination of a heavy chain containing an amino acid sequence in which one to several amino acid residues are substituted, deleted, inserted and / or added in the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain defined above, and a light chain defined above; an antibody or antigen-binding fragment which is a combination of a heavy chain defined above and a light chain containing an amino acid sequence in which one to several amino acid residues are substituted, deleted, inserted and / or added in the amino acid sequence of the light chain defined above; or an antibody or antigen-binding fragment which is a combination of a heavy chain containing an amino acid sequence in which one to several amino acid residues are substituted, deleted, inserted and / or added in the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain defined above and a light chain containing an amino acid sequence in which one to several amino acid residues are substituted, deleted, inserted and / or added in the amino acid sequence of the light chain defined above.

[0112] In another embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention is: (1) an anti-CDH6 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprising a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted from the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, and a light chain of an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 6; (2) an anti-CDH6 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprising a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted from the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 10, and a light chain of an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 15; (3) an anti-B7-H3 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprising a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted from the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 19, and a light chain of an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 24; (4) an anti-B7-H3 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprising a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted from the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 28, and a light chain of an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 33; (5) (6) An anti-CD30 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment containing a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted from the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 37, and a light chain of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 42; (7) An anti-CD70 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment containing a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted from the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 46, and a light chain of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 51; (8) An anti-B7-H3 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment containing a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted from the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 55, and a light chain of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 60; or (9) An anti-B7-H3 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment containing a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted from the carboxyl terminus of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 64, and a light chain of the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 69.
[0113] In the present invention, amino acid substitutions are preferably conservative amino acid substitutions. A conservative amino acid substitution is a substitution that occurs within an amino acid group having the same properties. Preferred amino acid groups are as follows: The acidic group includes aspartic acid and glutamic acid; the basic group includes lysine, arginine, and histidine; the nonpolar group includes alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan; and the uncharged polar group includes glycine, asparagine, glutamine, cysteine, serine, threonine, and tyrosine. Other preferred amino acid groups are as follows: The aliphatic hydroxyl group includes serine and threonine; the amide-containing group includes asparagine and glutamine; the aliphatic group includes alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine; and the aromatic group includes phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine. Such amino acid substitutions are preferably carried out within a range that does not degrade the properties of the substance having the original amino acid sequence.
[0114] It is known that antibodies produced in mammalian cultured cells lose a lysine residue at the carboxyl terminus of their heavy chain (Journal of Chromatography A, 1995, 705: 129-134), and that two amino acid residues, glycine and lysine, at the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain are also lost, with a proline residue newly located at the carboxyl terminus being amidated (Analytical Biochemistry, 2007, 360: 75-83). However, these deletions or modifications of the heavy chain sequence do not affect the antigen-binding ability or effector function (such as complement activation or antibody-dependent cytotoxicity) of the antibody. Therefore, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention may include antibodies or antigen-binding fragments that have undergone such deletions or modifications. Thus, in one embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention includes a heavy chain in which one or more amino acid residues at the carboxyl terminus are lost. In this context, "one or more amino acid residues" preferably means 1 to 10 amino acid residues, 1 to 9 amino acid residues, 1 to 8 amino acid residues, 1 to 7 amino acid residues, 1 to 6 amino acid residues, 1 to 5 amino acid residues, 1 to 4 amino acid residues, 1 to 3 amino acid residues, 1 or 2 amino acid residues, or 1 amino acid residue, preferably 1 or 2 amino acid residues, more preferably 1 amino acid residue. In one embodiment, the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention also includes deletions in which one or two amino acid residues are deleted at the heavy chain carboxyl terminus, and amidated deletions (for example, a heavy chain in which a proline residue at the carboxyl terminus is amidated). However, the deletions of the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain contained in the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention are not limited to the above types, as long as the deletion or modification (amidation) of the carboxyl terminus does not significantly affect the antigen-binding ability.The two heavy chains constituting the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention may be one of the full-length heavy chains and heavy chains selected from the group consisting of the above-mentioned deletions, or a combination of either two. The ratio of each deletion may be affected by the type of mammalian cultured cell producing the antibody and the culture conditions, but the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention preferably has one or two amino acid residues deleted at the carboxyl terminus of both heavy chains, more preferably has one amino acid residue deleted at the carboxyl terminus of both heavy chains.
[0115] The antibodies or antigen-binding fragments used in the antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention also include modified antibodies. Such modified antibodies are those that have undergone chemical or biological modification. Chemically modified antibodies include those with chemical moieties attached to the amino acid backbone, and those with chemical modifications to N- or O-linked carbohydrate chains. Biologically modified antibodies include those with post-translational modifications (e.g., glycosylation of N- or O-linked bonds, processing of amino- or carboxyl-terminals, deamidation, isomerization of aspartic acid, oxidation of methionine, or pyroglutamine oxidation of amino-terminal glutamine or amino-terminal glutamic acid), and those with methionine residues added to the amino-terminus by expression using prokaryotic host cells. Furthermore, labeled antibodies or antigen-binding fragments used in the antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention, such as enzyme-labeled, fluorescently labeled, or affinity-labeled antibodies, are also included as such modified antibodies. Such modified antibodies may be useful for improving antibody stability and blood retention, reducing antigenicity, and for detecting or isolating antibodies or antigens.
[0116] Furthermore, by modifying the glycosylation (glycosylation, defucose, etc.) of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention, it is possible to enhance or reduce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), enhance or reduce antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), or enhance or reduce complement-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CDC). Known techniques for modifying antibody glycosylation include, but are not limited to, International Publication Nos. 1999 / 54342, 2000 / 61739, 2002 / 31140, and 2007 / 133855. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention also includes antibodies or antigen-binding fragments with modified glycosylation.
[0117] The antibodies or antigen-binding fragments used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention can be obtained by immunizing animals with an antigenic polypeptide using methods commonly practiced in the art, and then collecting, purifying, and / or cleaving the antibodies produced in vivo. The antigen is not limited to human origin; animals can also be immunized with antigens derived from non-human animals such as cynomolgus monkeys, mice, and rats. In this case, antibodies applicable to human diseases can be selected by testing the cross-reactivity between the obtained heterologous antigen and the human antigen.
[0118] Furthermore, monoclonal antibodies can also be obtained by establishing hybridomas and fusing antibody-producing cells that produce antibodies against an antigen with myeloma cells, following known methods (e.g., Kohler and Milstein, Nature, 1975, 256, 495-497; Kennett, R.ed., Monoclonal Antibodies, 1980, p.365-367, Plenum Press, NY).
[0119] Antigens can be obtained by known methods, for example, by introducing a gene encoding an antigen protein into a host cell through genetic engineering and expressing that gene in the host cell. Specifically, for example, a vector capable of expressing the antigen gene can be created, introduced into a host cell to express the gene, and the expressed antigen can be purified. Antibodies can also be obtained by immunizing animals with antigen-expressing cells obtained through the above genetic engineering, or with cell lines expressing the antigen. Furthermore, antibodies can also be obtained by incorporating the cDNA of the antigen protein into an expression vector and administering it to an immunized animal, causing the immunized animal to express the antigen protein and produce antibodies against the antigen protein.
[0120] In one embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention can be obtained by known methods (e.g., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1984, 81, 6851-6855; Nature, 1986, 321, 522-525; International Publication No. 90 / 07861).
[0121] One example of a desirable method for obtaining antibodies is DNA immunoassay. DNA immunoassay is a technique that induces immunity to an antigen by introducing an antigen expression plasmid into an animal, such as a mouse or rat, and then expressing the antigen within the animal. Methods of gene introduction include directly injecting the plasmid into the muscle, intravenously injecting introduction reagents such as liposomes or polyethyleneimine, using viral vectors, injecting gold particles with the plasmid attached using a Gene Gun, and the Hydrodynamic method, which involves rapidly injecting a large amount of plasmid solution intravenously. Regarding gene transfer methods by intramuscular injection of expression plasmids, a technique called in vivo electroporation, in which the plasmid is injected intramuscularly and then electroporated at the same site, is known as a method to improve expression levels (Aihara H, Miyazaki J, Nat Biotechnol., 1998 Sep; 16(9): 867-870 or Mir LM, Bureau MF, Gehl J, Rangara R, Rouy D, Caillaud JM, Delaere P, Branellec D, Schwartz B, Scherman D, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1999 Apr 13; 96(8): 4262-4267).
[0122] Specific examples of obtaining monoclonal antibodies include the following: (a) By incorporating the cDNA of the target antigen into an expression vector (e.g., pcDNA3.1: manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific), and directly administering the vector to immune animals (e.g., rats or mice) using methods such as electroporation or a gene gun, the target antigen can be expressed in the animal's body, thereby inducing an immune response. (b) The administration of the vector by electroporation or the like may be done once or multiple times, preferably multiple times, if necessary to increase the antibody titer; (c) Tissue containing antibody-producing cells (e.g., lymph nodes) is collected from the aforementioned animals from which an immune response has been induced; (d) Myeloma cells (hereinafter referred to as "myeloma") (e.g., mouse myeloma SP2 / 0-ag14 cells) are prepared; (e) Cell fusion of antibody-producing cells and myeloma is performed; (e) Selection of hybridoma groups that produce the target antibody; (f) Division into single-cell clones (cloning); (g) If necessary, culture of hybridomas for the mass production of monoclonal antibodies, or rearing of animals transplanted with hybridomas; and / or (h) Examination of the physiological activity (internalization activity) and binding specificity of the monoclonal antibodies produced in this manner, or testing of their properties as labeling reagents.
[0123] Examples of antibody titer measurement methods used here include, but are not limited to, flow cytometry or Cell-ELISA.
[0124] When an antibody gene is isolated and then introduced into a suitable host to produce an antibody, a suitable host and expression vector combination can be used. A specific example of an antibody gene is a combination of a gene encoding the heavy chain sequence and a gene encoding the light chain sequence of the antibody described herein. When transforming host cells, the heavy chain sequence gene and the light chain sequence gene may be inserted into the same expression vector, or into separate expression vectors. Furthermore, to promote antibody secretion or expression, a signal sequence may be introduced upstream or downstream of the gene encoding the heavy chain sequence or the gene encoding the light chain sequence. As a signal sequence introduced upstream or downstream of the gene encoding the heavy chain sequence, a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 73 may be used. As a signal sequence introduced upstream or downstream of the gene encoding the light chain sequence, a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 74 may be used.
[0125] When using eukaryotic cells as hosts, for example, animal cells, plant cells, and eukaryotic microorganisms can be used. In particular, animal cells include mammalian cells such as monkey cells (COS cells, Gluzman, Y, Cell, 1981, 23, 175-182; ATCC No.CRL-1650), mouse fibroblast cells NIH3T3 (ATCC No.CRL-1658), and dihydrofolate reductase-deficient strains of Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO cells, ATCC No.CCL-61) (Urlaub, G and Chasin, LA, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1980, 77, 4126-4220), FreeStyle 293F cells (Invitrogen), and Expi293 cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
[0126] When using prokaryotic cells, for example, E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, etc., can be used.
[0127] Antibodies can be obtained by introducing the target antibody gene into these cells by transformation and culturing the transformed cells in vitro. In this culture, the yield may differ depending on the antibody sequence, and it is possible to select antibodies that are easy to produce as pharmaceuticals from among antibodies with equivalent binding activity, using yield as an indicator. Therefore, the antibodies of the present invention also include antibodies obtained by a method for producing antibodies, which is characterized by including the steps of culturing the transformed host cells and collecting the target antibody or its antigen-binding fragment from the culture obtained in the step.

[0163] <2-4. Linker> The linker (L in formula (I)) that binds the payload to the ligand in the ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention will now be described. The linker used in the ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is understood by those skilled in the art as a linker that connects the ligand and the payload. Examples of linkers used in the ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention include, but are not limited to, those described in Protein Cell, 2018, 9(1): 33-46; Pharm Res, 2015, 32: 3526-3540; or Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2016, 17, 561. The linker may be a linker that is cleaved in vivo or a linker that is not cleaved in vivo, but is preferably a linker that is cleaved in vivo. Examples of linkers cleaved in living organisms include, but are not limited to, linkers cleaved by acids, linkers cleaved by light, linkers cleaved by peptidases, linkers cleaved by esterases, and linkers cleaved by disulfide bond cleavage.
[0164] In one embodiment, the linker used in the ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention is a linker that conjugates the payload to any amino acid residue (e.g., a cysteine residue or a lysine residue) contained in the ligand (e.g., a linker described in International Publication No. 2014 / 057687), and examples include a linker that forms a thioether bond with the sulfhydryl group (-SH) of cysteine contained in the ligand (sometimes referred to herein as a "cysteine conjugation linker") or a linker that forms an amide bond with the amino group (-NH2) of lysine contained in the ligand, preferably a cysteine conjugation linker. Alternatively, the linker used in the ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention is a linker that binds to a glycan contained in the ligand (typically, if the ligand is Ab, to the glycan of the Fc portion of Ab) (e.g., described in International Publication No. 2018 / 003983).
[0165] A preferred linker used in the ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention is of the formula: -Lb-La-Lp-NH-CH2- * (In the formula, * indicates the binding site with D) is shown as follows: -Lp- indicates a bivalent group consisting of an amino acid sequence that can be cleaved in the target cell, and -La- indicates a single bond, or as shown in the formula below: -(CH2)n 5 -C(=O)- * ', -C(=O)-(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)- * ', -(CH2CH2O)n 5 -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)- * ', -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)NH-(CH2CH2O)n 8 -(CH2)n 7 -C(=O)- * ', and -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)NH-(CH2)n 8 -(CH2)n 7 -C(=O)- * ' (In the formula, * indicates the binding site with Lp, n 5 n represents an integer from 1 to 10.6 and n 7 Each of these independently represents an integer from 1 to 5, and n 8 represents one divalent group selected from the group consisting of integers from 0 to 5, where -Lb- represents a divalent group that links La and Li, a divalent group that links amino acid residues of La and Ab, or a divalent group that links the sugar chain of La and Ab.
[0166] First, let's explain -Lp-. -Lp- represents a divalent group consisting of an amino acid sequence that can be cleaved in target cells, and is cleaved by enzymes such as peptidases and esterases. -Lp- is a peptide composed of 1 to 10 (preferably 2 to 7, more preferably 2 to 6, even more preferably 2 to 5, and particularly preferably 2 to 4) amino acid residues. At its amino terminus, -Lp- forms an amide bond with the carbonyl group at the right end of -La- or -Lb-, which will be described later, and at its carboxyl terminus, it forms an amide bond with an amino group (-NH-). The amide bond on the carboxyl terminus side of -Lp- is cleaved by enzymes such as peptidases. In one embodiment, -Lp- is a divalent group consisting of a peptide composed of native amino acid residues.
[0167] The amino acid residues constituting -Lp- are not particularly limited, but for example, they are L-amino acid residues or D-amino acid residues, and preferably L-amino acid residues. In addition to α-amino acid residues, they may also be amino acid residues with structures such as β-alanine residues, ε-aminocaproic acid residues, and γ-aminobutyric acid residues, and may even be unnatural amino acid residues such as N-methylated amino acid residues. The amino acid sequence of -Lp- is not particularly limited, but examples of constituent amino acids include glycine (Gly; G), valine (Val; V), alanine (Ala; A), phenylalanine (Phe; F), glutamic acid (Glu; E), isoleucine (Ile; I), proline (Pro; P), citrulline (Cit), leucine (Leu; L), methionine (Met; M), serine (Ser; S), lysine (Lys; K), and aspartic acid (Asp; D). Preferably, the amino acids are glycine (Gly; G), valine (Val; V), alanine (Ala; A), phenylalanine (Phe: F), citrulline (Cit), isoleucine (Ile; I), proline (Pro; P), and leucine (Leu; L), and more preferably, glycine (Gly; G), alanine (Ala; A), phenylalanine (Phe: F), citrulline (Cit), and leucine (Leu; L). These amino acids may be duplicated, and the amino acid sequence may include any selected amino acids. Furthermore, the sequence of amino acids used for -Lp- can be used to control whether or not the linker is cleaved in vivo, at what site in vivo the linker is cleaved, and the rate at which the linker is cleaved in vivo.
[0168] A concrete example of -Lp- is, for instance, the formula: -GGFG- ** ',-GGPI- ** ',-GGVA- ** ',-GGFM- ** ',-GGVCit- ** ', -GGFCit- ** ',-GGICit- ** ',-GGPL- ** ',-GGAQ- ** ',-GGPP-** ', -GGLCit- ** ',-GGACit- ** ',-GGGACit- ** ',-ACit- ** ',-GGGCit- ** ', or -CitGACit- ** Examples include a divalent group consisting of amino acid residues represented by ' (wherein ** indicates the binding site with NH), and among these, preferably, formula: -GGFG- ** ',-GGLCit- ** ',-GGACit- ** ',-GGGACit- ** ',-ACit- ** ', -GGGCit- ** ', or -CitGACit- ** It is a divalent group consisting of amino acid residues represented by ' (the symbols in the formula indicate the same meaning as above).
[0169] Next, let's explain -La-. -La- represents a single bond, or as shown in the following equation: -(CH2)n 5 -C(=O)- * ', -C(=O)-(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)- * ', -(CH2CH2O)n 5 -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)- * ', -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)NH-(CH2CH2O)n 8 -(CH2)n 7 -C(=O)- * ', and -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)NH-(CH2)n 8 -(CH2)n 7 -C(=O)- * ' (In the formula, * indicates the binding site with Lp, n 5 n represents an integer from 1 to 10. 6 and n 7 Each of these independently represents an integer from 1 to 5, and n 8 (where represents integers from 0 to 5) indicates one divalent base selected from this group.
[0170] In one embodiment, the formula is: -(CH2)n 5 -C(=O)- * ', -C(=O)-(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)- * ', -(CH2CH2O)n 5 -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)- * ', -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)NH-(CH2CH2O)n 8 -(CH2)n 7 -C(=O)- * ', and -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)NH-(CH2)n 8 -(CH2)n 7 -C(=O)- * In -La- represented by ', n 5 n is an integer from 1 to 10, specifically, n 5 n represents an integer of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, preferably an integer from 2 to 8, more preferably 2, 4, 5, or 8. 6 , n 7 and n 8 Each of these independently represents an integer from 1 to 5, specifically, n 6 , n 7 , and n 8 Each independently represents an integer of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, preferably an integer from 1 to 4, more preferably an integer from 1 to 3, and even more preferably 2.
[0171] In one embodiment, -La- is preferably of the formula: -(CH2)n 5 -C(=O)- * ', -C(=O)-(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)- * ', -(CH2CH2O)n 5 -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)- * ', -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)NH-(CH2CH2O)n 8 -(CH2)n 7 -C(=O)- *', and -(CH2)n 6 -C(=O)NH-(CH2)n 8 -(CH2)n 7 -C(=O)- * ' (In the formula, * indicates the binding site with Lp, n 5 n represents an integer from 2 to 8 (preferably 2, 4, 5, or 8), and n 6 and n 7 Each of these independently represents an integer from 1 to 4 (preferably an integer from 1 to 3), and n 8 represents any one divalent group selected from the group consisting of integers from 1 to 4 (preferably integers from 1 to 3), more preferably the formula: -(CH2)2-C(=O)- * ',-(CH2)5-C(=O)- * ', -C(=O)-(CH2)2-C(=O)- * ', -(CH2CH2O)4-(CH2)2-C(=O)- * ',-(CH2CH2O)8-(CH2)2-C(=O)- * ', -(CH2)2-C(=O)NH-(CH2CH2O)2-(CH2)2-C(=O)- * ', and -(CH2)2-C(=O)NH-(CH2)2-C(=O)- * ' (wherein * indicates the binding site with Lp) represents one divalent group selected from the following.
[0172] Next, -Lb- will be explained. -Lb- represents a divalent group that links La with Li or Ab. The divalent group used as -Lb- is not particularly limited as long as it is understood by those skilled in the art as a polyfunctional (especially difunctional) chemical moiety capable of linking La with Li or Ab, and in particular a polyfunctional, especially difunctional, chemical moiety capable of linking amino acid residues of La and Ab or a sugar chain of Ab. Preferably, examples include a divalent group used as a linker in cysteine conjugation and a divalent group used as a linker in sugar chain conjugation.
[0173] <When -Lb- is a divalent group used as a linker in cysteine conjugations> When -Lb- is a divalent group used as a linker in cysteine conjugations, Lb is not particularly limited, but for example, formula (V-1):
[0174]
[0175] Examples of divalent groups can be given by (wherein the formula, ** indicates the binding site with La, and the dashed line indicates the binding site with the sulfur atom of the cysteine residue contained in Li or Ab).
[0176] <When Lb is a divalent group used as a linker in a glycan conjugation> When Lb is a divalent group used as a linker in a glycan conjugation, Lb is not particularly limited, but for example, formulas (V-2) and (V-3):

[0180] , equation (V-6), and equation (V-7):
[0181]
[0182] Any one divalent group selected from the group consisting of (in each of the above formulas, ** indicates a binding site with La, and the wavy line indicates a binding site with a sugar chain of Li or Ab) can be mentioned, preferably any one divalent group represented by formula (V-2), formula (V-3), formula (V-6), or formula (V-7), more preferably a divalent group represented by formula (V-2) or formula (V-3).
[0183] In the divalent groups represented by formulas (V-2) to (V-7) above, the triazole ring moiety contains either one of two geometric isomers or a mixture thereof. The ligand-drug conjugate of the present invention can conjugate multiple payloads to one ligand molecule.

Binding site between ligand and drug linker> <Cysteine conjugation> When the ligand is an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment (Ab), and the binding mode between the ligand (Li) and the drug linker (a complex of payload (D) and linker (L)) is cysteine conjugation, the linker can be linked to any cysteine residue contained in Ab, but preferably it binds to one or more of the following: the cysteine residue at EU numbering position 220 of the heavy chain of Ab, the cysteine residue at EU numbering position 226 of the heavy chain, the cysteine residue at EU numbering position 229 of the heavy chain, and the cysteine residue at EU numbering position 214 of the light chain.

IgG has a well-conserved N-linked glycan at Asn297, which is known to contribute to the activity and kinetics of the antibody (Eon-Duval, A. et al, Biotechnol. Prog. 2012, 28, 608-622, Sanglier-Cianferani, S., Anal. Chem. 2013, 85, 715-736). The amino acid sequence in the constant region of IgG is well conserved, and in the report by Edelman et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1969, 63, 78-85), each amino acid was identified using EU numbering (EU INDEX). For example, Asn297, to which an N-linked glycan is attached in the Fc region, is at position 297 in EU numbering. Even if the actual amino acid position changes due to molecular fragmentation or region deletion, the amino acid can be uniquely identified by representing it with EU numbering.
[0192] In the present invention, the N297 glycan may be a glycan originally present in the antibody, or it may be a "remodeled glycan" in which the original glycan has been removed by enzymatic means or the like, and then a desired glycan has been introduced. In one embodiment, the N297 glycan is a remodeled glycan.

[0357] Among the antibody-drug conjugates represented by formula (IV), those in which Ab and the linker structure are bound via a thioether (antibody-drug conjugate (IVa)) can be produced, for example, by reacting an antibody having a sulfhydryl group or its antigen-binding fragment (1e) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "Ab") with a compound (VIb). Note that in the following reaction formula, m 1 This represents an integer from 1 to 20.
[0358]
[0359] Antibodies (1e) having sulfhydryl groups can be obtained by methods well known to those skilled in the art (Hermanson, GT, Bioconjugate Techniques, pp. 56-136, pp. 456-493, Academic Press (1996)). For example, methods include, but are not limited to, reacting the amino group of the antibody with Traut's reagent; reacting the amino group of the antibody with N-succinimidyl 3-acetylthioalkanoates followed by hydroxylamine; reacting the antibody with N-succinimidyl 3-(pyridyldithio)propionate followed by a reducing agent; or reacting the antibody with reducing agents such as dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol, or tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) to reduce the disulfide bond in the hinge region of the antibody and generate a sulfhydryl group.
[0360] Specifically, by using TCEP as a reducing agent in an amount of 0.3 to 3 molar equivalents per mole of hinge disulfide in the antibody, and reacting it with the antibody in a buffer containing a chelating agent, an antibody in which the hinge disulfide in the antibody is partially or completely reduced can be obtained. Examples of chelating agents include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), which can be used at concentrations of 1 mM to 20 mM. As a buffer, sodium phosphate, sodium borate, sodium acetate solution, etc. Specifically, by reacting the antibody with TCEP at 4°C to 37°C for 1 to 24 hours, an antibody (1e) having partially or completely reduced sulfhydryl groups can be obtained.
[0361] Here, a reaction is carried out to add a sulfhydryl group to the drug linker portion, thereby allowing the drug linker portion to be bonded via a thioether bond.
[0362] An antibody-drug conjugate (IVa) can be produced in which 2 to 8 drug molecules are bound to each antibody by using 2 to 20 molar equivalents of compound (9d) per mole of antibody (1e) containing a sulfhydryl group. Specifically, the reaction is carried out by adding a solution in which compound (VIb) is dissolved to a buffer containing antibody (1e) containing a sulfhydryl group. Here, sodium acetate solution, sodium phosphate solution, sodium borate solution, etc. can be used as the buffer. The pH during the reaction is 5 to 9, more preferably around pH 7. Organic solvents such as DMSO, DMF, DMA, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), acetone, and propylene glycol (PG) can be used as the solvent to dissolve compound (VIb).
[0363] The compound (VIb) is dissolved in a solution and then reacted by adding 0.5 to 50% v / v of the solution to a buffer containing the sulfhydryl antibody (1e). The reaction temperature is 4°C to 37°C, more preferably 10°C to 25°C, and the reaction time is 30 minutes to 2 hours. If necessary, the reaction can be terminated by deactivating the reactivity of unreacted compound (VIb) with a thiol-containing reagent. Examples of thiol-containing reagents include cysteine or N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). More specifically, the reaction can be terminated by adding 1 to 2 molar equivalents of NAC to compound (VIb) and incubating at room temperature for 10 to 30 minutes.
[0364] The manufactured antibody-drug conjugates (IVa) can be identified by the following common procedures: concentration, buffer exchange, purification, measurement of antibody concentration and average number of drug conjugates per antibody molecule.
[0365] Common Procedure A: Concentration of Antibody Aqueous Solution The antibody or antibody-drug conjugate solution is placed in an Amicon® Ultra centrifugal filter device (30,000 or 50,000 NMWL, Merck Millipore Ltd.), and the antibody and antibody-drug conjugate solution are concentrated by centrifugation (2000G to 4000G for 5 minutes to 1 hour) using an Allegra X-15R centrifuge (Beckman Coulter, Inc.).
[0366] Common Procedure B: Antibody Concentration Measurement Using a UV meter (Nanodrop 1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. or DS-11 DeNovix, Inc.), measure the antibody concentration according to the manufacturer's specified method. At that time, use the 280nm extinction coefficient (1.3 mL mg) which differs for each antibody. -1 cm -1 From 1.8 mL mg -1 cm -1 Use ).
[0367] Common Procedure C: Antibody Buffer Exchange NAP columns using Sephadex G-25 support (NAP-5, NAP-10, NAP-25 (Cytiva)) are equilibrated with phosphate buffer (PBS, 5mM EDTA solution (NACALAI TESQUE, INC.)) containing sodium chloride (137mM) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, 5mM) according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2.5 mL of antibody aqueous solution is placed on each NAP-25 column, and then eluted with 3.5 mL of PBS, 5mM EDTA solution (NACALAI TESQUE, INC.). The resulting fraction (3.5 mL) is collected. This fraction is concentrated using Common Procedure A, and the antibody concentration is measured using Common Procedure B. Finally, the antibody concentration is adjusted to approximately 10 mg / mL using PBS, 5mM EDTA solution (NACALAI TESQUE, INC.).
[0368] Common Procedure D: Purification of Antibody-Drug Conjugate (Gel Filtration Chromatography) Equilibrate an NAP column (NAP-5, NAP-10, NAP-25 (Cytiva)) with acetate buffer (10 mM Acetate Buffer, 5% Sorbitol, pH 5.5; referred to herein as ABS) or another suitable buffer. Charge the NAP column with the antibody-drug conjugate reaction solution, allow the manufacturer's specified amount of buffer to flow by gravity, and separate the antibody fraction. Charge this fraction back into the NAP column, allow the manufacturer's specified amount of buffer to flow by gravity, and separate the antibody fraction. Repeat this procedure a total of two to three times to obtain an antibody-drug conjugate free of unbound drug linkers, DMSO, propylene glycol, NAC, and TCEP. Adjust the concentration of the antibody-drug conjugate solution as needed using Common Procedures A and C.
[0369] Common Procedure E: Measurement of antibody concentration and average number of drug molecules bound per antibody molecule in antibody-drug conjugates (UV method) The concentration of bound drug in an antibody-drug conjugate can be calculated by first measuring the absorbance of the antibody-drug conjugate aqueous solution at two wavelengths, 280 nm and 260 nm, 320 nm, or 250 nm (other wavelengths may also be used) using an absorbance spectrometer (UV / VIS Spectrometer Lambda 25 or Lambda 465, PerkinElmer, Inc.), and then performing the following calculation when using 280 nm and 260 nm. Since the total absorbance at a given wavelength is equal to the sum of the absorbances of all absorbing chemical species present in the system (additive properties of absorbance), assuming that there is no change in the molar extinction coefficients of the antibody and drug before and after conjugation, the antibody concentration and drug concentration in the antibody-drug conjugate aqueous solution are given by the following relational equation.
[0370]
[0371] Here, A 280 This shows the absorbance of the antibody-drug conjugate aqueous solution at 280 nm, A 260 This shows the absorbance of the antibody-drug conjugate aqueous solution at 260 nm, AA , 280 This shows the absorbance of the antibody at 280 nm, A A , 260 This shows the absorbance of the antibody at 260 nm, A D , 280 This shows the absorbance of the conjugate precursor at 280 nm, A D , 260 This shows the absorbance of the conjugate precursor at 260 nm, and ε A , 280 This indicates the molar extinction coefficient of the antibody at 280 nm, and ε A , 260 This indicates the molar extinction coefficient of the antibody at 260 nm, and ε D , 280 This shows the molar extinction coefficient of the conjugate precursor at 280 nm, and ε D , 260 This shows the molar extinction coefficient of the conjugate precursor at 260 nm, and C A C indicates the antibody concentration in the antibody-drug conjugate. D Here, ε represents the drug concentration in the antibody-drug conjugate. A , 280 , ε A , 260 , ε D , 280 , ε D , 260 For this, a pre-prepared value (calculated estimate or measured value) is used. For example, ε A , 280 This can be estimated from the amino acid sequence of the antibody using a known calculation method (Protein Science, 1995, vol. 4, 2411-2423). ε A , 260 This is the measured value obtained from UV measurement of the antibody and ε A , 280 The value calculated from the estimated value is used. In the example, when 260 nm was used, the molar extinction coefficient of anti-CDH6 antibody 1 is ε A , 280 = 220400 and ε A , 260 = Use 116812. The molar extinction coefficient of anti-CDH6 antibody 2 is ε A ,280 = 223400 and ε A , 260 = 118290 is used. The molar absorption coefficient of anti-B7-H3 antibody 1 is ε A , 280 = 235300 and ε A , 260 = 121580 is used. The molar absorption coefficient of anti-B7-H3 antibody 2 is ε A , 280 = 235320 and ε A , 260 = 115004 is used. The molar absorption coefficient of anti-B7-H3 antibody 3 is ε A , 280 = 235070 is used. The molar absorption coefficient of anti-B7-H3 antibody 4 is ε A , 280 = 235070 is used. The molar absorption coefficient of anti-CD30 antibody is ε A , 280 = 234400 and ε A , 260 = 122662 is used. The molar absorption coefficient of anti-CD70 antibody is ε A , 280 = 226380 and ε A , 260 = 118487 is used. ε D , 280 and ε D , 260 and ε can be obtained by measuring the absorbance of a solution in which the conjugate precursor to be used is dissolved at a certain molar concentration and applying Lambert-Beer's law (absorbance = molar concentration × molar absorption coefficient × cell optical path length). The molar absorption coefficient of the conjugate precursor in the examples is obtained by UV measurement each time. In the case of cysteine conjugation, the measured value of the compound obtained by reacting each drug linker with mercaptoethanol or N-acetylcysteine to convert the maleimide group to a succinimide thioether is used. Measure A 280 and A 260 of the antibody-drug conjugate aqueous solution, substitute these values into equations (1) and (2), and solve the simultaneous equations to obtain C A and C D . Furthermore, C D ABy dividing by this, the average number of drug-bound molecules per antibody can be determined.
[0372] Common procedure F: Measurement of antibody concentration and average number of drug molecules bound per antibody molecule in antibody-drug conjugates (reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography: RP-HPLC) The antibody concentration and average number of drug molecules bound per antibody molecule in antibody-drug conjugates can be determined by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis using the following method, in addition to the common procedure E described above.
[0373] [F-1. Preparation of Sample for HPLC Analysis (Reduction of Antibody-Drug Conjugate)] Mix antibody-drug conjugate solution (approximately 1 mg / mL, 60 μL) with dithiothreitol (DTT) aqueous solution (100 mM, 15 μL). Incubate the mixture at 37°C for 30 minutes to cleave the disulfide bond between the L and H chains of the antibody-drug conjugate. Use this reaction solution directly for HPLC analysis.
[0374] [F-2. HPLC Analysis] Typical analytical conditions are as follows: HPLC system: Agilent 1290 HPLC system (Agilent Technologies) Detector: UV absorbance meter (measurement wavelength: 280 nm) Column: Acquity BEH Phenyl (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.7 μm, Waters) Column temperature: 75°C Flow rate: 0.8 mL / min Sample injection volume: 10 μL Mobile phase A: 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), 15% isopropyl alcohol aqueous solution Mobile phase B: 0.075% TFA, 15% isopropyl alcohol acetonitrile solution Gradient program (Mobile phase B): 14%–36% (0 min–15 min), 36%–80% (15 min–17 min), 80%–14% (17 min–17.1 min), 14%–14% (17.1 min–23 min)
[0375] [F-3. Data Analysis] [F-3-1] Compared to the light chain (L0) and heavy chain (H0) of an antibody that is not bound to a drug, the light chain (L1) and heavy chain (H3) bound to a drug (L1) and heavy chain (H1), which are bound to a drug (H2), which are bound to two drug molecules (H1), which are bound to three drug molecules (H3), become more hydrophobic and retain longer in proportion to the number of bound drug molecules. Therefore, in principle, they are eluted in the order of L0, L1, H0, H1, H2, and H3.
[0376] [F-3-2] Because drug linkers have UV absorption, the peak area is corrected according to the following formula using the molar extinction coefficients of the L chain, H chain, and drug linkers, depending on the number of drug linkers.
[0377]
[0378]

For anti-B7-H3 antibody 2, 30222 is used as the molar extinction coefficient of the light chain and 87438 as the molar extinction coefficient of the heavy chain. For anti-B7-H3 antibody 3, 30160 is used as the molar extinction coefficient of the light chain and 87375 as the molar extinction coefficient of the heavy chain. For anti-B7-H3 antibody 4, 30160 is used as the molar extinction coefficient of the light chain and 87375 as the molar extinction coefficient of the heavy chain. For anti-CD30 antibody, 30222 is used as the molar extinction coefficient of the light chain and 86978 as the molar extinction coefficient of the heavy chain. For anti-CD70 antibody, 30222 is used as the molar extinction coefficient of the light chain and 82968 as the molar extinction coefficient of the heavy chain. For cysteine conjugation, the molar extinction coefficient (280 nm) of the drug linker is measured using the measured value of the compound obtained by reacting each drug linker with mercaptoethanol or N-acetylcysteine and converting the maleimide group to succinimidothioether.
[0380] [F-3-3] Calculate the ratio (%) of each chain's peak area to the sum of the peak area correction values according to the following formula.
[0381]
[0382] [F-3-4] The average number of drug bindings per antibody molecule in an antibody-drug conjugate (drug-antibody binding ratio: DAR) is calculated according to the following formula.
[0383]

The dilution factor indicates how many times the antibody-drug conjugate aqueous solution was diluted when measuring the absorbance, and is usually 4-fold. The molar extinction coefficient (280 nm) of the antibody is an estimated value calculated using the known calculation method described in Common Operation E. The average number of drug conjugates is the value obtained in [F-3-4]. For cysteine conjugation, the molar extinction coefficient (280 nm) of the drug linker is measured using the actual value of the compound obtained by reacting each drug linker with mercaptoethanol or N-acetylcysteine and converting the maleimide group to succinimidothioether.

[0388] [G-1. Preparation of Sample for HPLC Analysis] The antibody-drug conjugate solution (approximately 1 mg / mL, 60 μL) is used directly for HPLC analysis.
[0389] [G-2. HPLC Analysis] Typical analytical conditions are as follows: HPLC system: SHIMADZU CBM-20A (Shimadzu Corporation) Detector: UV absorbance meter (measurement wavelength: 280 nm) Column: TSK-gel Butyl-NPR (4.6 × 100 mm, 2.5 μm, manufactured by TOSOH) Column temperature: Constant temperature around 30°C Mobile phase A: 25 mM phosphate buffer containing 1.5 M ammonium sulfate (pH = 7.0) Mobile phase B: 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH = 7.0) / isopropyl alcohol mixture (3:1) Flow rate: 0.8 mL / min Sample injection volume: 10 μL Gradient program (mobile phase B): 15%–15% (0 min–5 min), 15%–100% (5 min–20 min)
[0390] [G-3. Data Analysis] [G-3-1] Since hydrophobicity increases in proportion to the number of drugs bound to the antibody, and retention time increases, in principle, the antibodies, ADCs with 2 drug bindings per antibody, ADCs with 4 drug bindings per antibody, ADCs with 6 drug bindings per antibody, and ADCs with 8 drug bindings per antibody are eluted in that order. By comparing the retention time with that of the antibody, the detection peaks can be assigned to ADCs with 2 drug bindings per antibody, ADCs with 4 drug bindings per antibody, ADCs with 6 drug bindings per antibody, and ADCs with 8 drug bindings per antibody. Depending on the type of antibody and drug linker, peaks may also be detected for ADCs with 1 drug binding per antibody, ADCs with 3 drug bindings per antibody, ADCs with 5 drug bindings per antibody, and ADCs with 7 drug bindings per antibody. The number of drugs bound to each antibody in the detected peak can sometimes be estimated by fractionating the peak using HI-HPLC and then measuring the mass spectrum.
[0391] [G-3-2] Because drug linkers have UV absorption, the peak area value is corrected according to the following formula using the molar extinction coefficients of the antibody and drug linkers, depending on the number of drug linkers bound.
