Technical Field
[0003] This disclosure pertains to the field of biomedicine and relates to three-branched hydrophilic linkers and their protein drug conjugates. Specifically, it relates to three-branched hydrophilic linkers, linker-load compound containing the linker and drug conjugate (e.g., protein drug conjugate), as well as their preparation methods and pharmaceutical uses. Background Technology
[0004] Protein drug conjugates, such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), are novel targeted therapies that deliver cytotoxic drugs to disease sites via appropriate carriers (e.g., antibodies), potentially reducing off-target side effects and / or toxicity and improving the therapeutic index. For example, in ADC design, the linker is not only the molecular part that forms a covalent link between the antibody and the drug, but also a key element determining the efficacy and safety of ADCs in targeted drug therapy. Hydrophilic linkers appear to contribute to the stability and effectiveness of ADCs.
[0005] Therefore, the continuous development of hydrophilic linkers for protein drug conjugates (such as ADCs) is an indispensable part of the drug design and development process and has important clinical value and significance. Summary of the Invention

[0792] Experimental Example 2: Determination of DAR value (HIC) of antibody-drug conjugates
[0793] The DAR value of the ADC prepared in Example 1 was determined using hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) according to one of the following two methods:
[0794] (1) The components of the sample were separated using non-porous polystyrene / divinylbenzene (PS / DVB) packing material with bonded butyl groups. The neutral high-salt mobile phase was used to enhance the hydrophobicity of protein molecules, thereby combining them with the hydrophobic bonds in the chromatographic column. Then, the elution of substances was carried out by gradually decreasing the salt concentration and gradually increasing the proportion of isopropanol. The less hydrophobic substances were eluted first, and the more hydrophobic substances were eluted later. The chromatographic column specifications were Sepax HIC-Butyl, 4.6*100mm, 5μm, and the column temperature was 25℃. Mobile phase A was 25mmol / L phosphate buffer-2mol / L ammonium sulfate, pH 7.0 (3.55g of anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate and 264.28g of ammonium sulfate were weighed, added to about 800mL of ultrapure water, stirred until fully dissolved, adjusted to pH 7.0±0.1 with phosphoric acid, and brought to a final volume of 1L. After mixing, the solution was filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane). Mobile phase B was 25 mmol / L phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 (3.55 g of anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate was weighed, added to approximately 800 mL of ultrapure water, stirred until fully dissolved, adjusted to pH 7.0 ± 0.1 with phosphoric acid, and brought to a final volume of 1 L. After mixing, the solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane). Mobile phase C was 100% isopropanol. The sample was diluted 1-fold with the initial proportioned mobile phase to prepare the test solution. The injection volume was adjusted according to the sample concentration, and 50 μg of protein was injected for detection at a wavelength of 280 nm. The flow rate was 0.5 mL / min, and gradient elution was performed for 30 min (0-15.0 min: 75% A + 25% B to 10% A + 65% B + 25% C; 15.0-15.1 min: 10% A + 65% B + 25% C to 100% B; 15.1-20.0 min: 100% B; 20.0-20.1 min: 100% B to 75% A + 25% B; 20.1-30.0 min: 75% A + 25% B).
[0795] (2) The components of the sample were separated using a non-porous hydrophilic polymer packing material with bonded phenyl groups. The neutral high-salt mobile phase was used to enhance the hydrophobicity of the protein molecules, thereby binding them with the hydrophobic bonds in the chromatographic column. Then, the elution was carried out by gradually decreasing the salt concentration and gradually increasing the proportion of isopropanol, eluting substances with lower hydrophobicity first and those with higher hydrophobicity last. The chromatographic column specifications were TSKgel HIC-ADC Phenyl, 4.6*100mm, 5μm, and the column temperature was 25℃. Mobile phase A was 25mmol / L phosphate buffer-2mol / L ammonium sulfate, pH 7.0 (3.55g of anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate and 198.21g of ammonium sulfate were weighed, added to about 800mL of ultrapure water, stirred until fully dissolved, adjusted to pH 7.0±0.1 with phosphoric acid, and brought to a final volume of 1L. After mixing, the solution was filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane). Mobile phase B was 25 mmol / L phosphate buffer-25% isopropanol, pH 7.0 (weigh 3.55 g of anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate, add approximately 800 mL of ultrapure water, stir until fully dissolved, adjust the pH to 7.0 ± 0.1 with phosphoric acid, add ultrapure water to a final volume of 1000 mL, mix well, take 750 mL of the resulting solution, add 250 mL of isopropanol, mix well, and filter through a 0.22 μm filter membrane). The sample was diluted 1-fold with the initial proportioned mobile phase to prepare the test solution. The injection volume was adjusted according to the sample concentration, and 50 μg of protein was injected. Detection was performed at 280 nm. The flow rate was 0.5 mL / min, with gradient elution for 30 min (0-20.0 min from 100% A to 100% B, 20.0-20.1 min from 100% B to 100% A, 20.1-30.0 min at 100% A).
[0796] The results were quantitatively analyzed using the area normalization method. The peak area percentages of ADCs containing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 cytotoxic drugs were calculated, and the DAR values were also calculated. The formula is: DAR value = (peak area percentage of ADCs containing 0 cytotoxic drugs × 0 + peak area percentage of ADCs containing 1 cytotoxic drug × 1 + peak area percentage of ADCs containing 2 cytotoxic drugs × 2 + peak area percentage of ADCs containing 3 cytotoxic drugs × 3 + peak area percentage of ADCs containing 4 cytotoxic drugs × 4 + peak area percentage of ADCs containing 5 cytotoxic drugs × 5 + peak area percentage of ADCs containing 6 cytotoxic drugs × 6 + peak area percentage of ADCs containing 7 cytotoxic drugs × 7 + peak area percentage of ADCs containing 8 cytotoxic drugs × 8) / 100%.

[0798] Experimental Example 3: Determination of Monomer Purity of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (SEC)
[0799] Gel chromatography was used to separate the sample components. A neutral pH buffer with 10% isopropanol was used as the mobile phase for elution, and the components were eluted sequentially in descending order of molecular weight. The column used was an ACQUITY UPLC Protein BEH SEC Column. A 1.7 μm, 4.6*300 mm gel chromatographic column was used. The mobile phase was 50 mmol / L phosphate buffer-200 mmol / L sodium chloride-10% isopropanol, pH 7.0 (weigh 12.53 g of disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, 2.33 g of sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, and 11.69 g of sodium chloride, add approximately 800 mL of ultrapure water, stir until fully dissolved, add ultrapure water to 1000 mL, and set aside. Add 100 mL of isopropanol to the above solution to 1000 mL, mix well, and filter through a 0.22 μm filter membrane). A precise 20 μg sample was injected into the liquid chromatograph and detected at 280 nm. The flow rate was 0.3 mL / min, and isocratic elution was performed for 15 min or 25 min.
[0800] Data processing employed area normalization for quantitative analysis of the results. The peak area percentages of aggregates, immunoglobulin monomers, and low molecular weight impurities were calculated separately, with the area before the main peak representing aggregates, the main peak representing immunoglobulin monomers, and the area after the main peak representing low molecular weight impurities. The proportions of monomers, aggregates, and low molecular weight impurities in the antibody-drug conjugate are shown in Table 2 below.

[0802] Experimental Example 4: Killing of Tumor Cells by Antibody-Drug Conjugates
[0803] To detect the killing effect of the Her2-targeting ADC of this disclosure on Her2-positive tumor cells, the killing activity was tested using NCI-N87 cells (Her2 highly expressed, source: Cell Resource Center, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, catalog number: THu130) and NCI-H2170 cells (Her2 highly expressed, source: Yaji Biotechnology, catalog number: YS501C).
[0804] Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested, and the cell density of NCI-N87 cells was adjusted to 8 × 10⁻⁶. 4 NCI-H2170 cell density up to 5 × 10⁶ cells / mL. 4Cells / mL were added to 96-well plates at 100 μL / well and cultured at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for 4-6 h. Her2-targeting ADCs were prepared using the corresponding complete culture media (RPMI 1640 + 20% FBS for NCI-H2170 cells and RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS + 1% sodium pyruvate for NCI-N87 cells) with a starting concentration of 100 nM and serially diluted 4-fold to obtain a total of 11 concentrations. Remove adherent cells from the culture plate. Add 50 μL / well of diluted Her2-targeting ADC to the experimental group, and 50 μL / well of the corresponding complete culture medium to the blank control group. After culturing for 96 h, detect the cells using the CellCounting-Lite 2.0 Luminescent Cell Viability Assay kit (Vazyme, catalog number: DD1101-03). Specifically: Remove the 96-well plate, add 75 μL of CellCounting-Lite assay solution (Vazyme, catalog number: DD1101-03) to each well, vortex to mix, incubate at room temperature in the dark for 10 min, then transfer 170 μL from each well to an opaque white plate, remove air bubbles, read the chemiluminescence value using a microplate reader (PE, Envision 2105), and calculate the cell killing rate.
[0805] Experimental results showed that the antibody-drug conjugates ADC1-ADC20 disclosed herein exhibited a maximum killing rate (%) greater than 60% against NCI-N87 cells and a maximum killing rate (%) greater than 80% against NCI-H2170 cells. Maximum killing rate and EC50... 50 The calculation results are shown in Table 3.
