Abstract
Description
A method for preparing camptothecin derivatives and their intermediates Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure pertains to the pharmaceutical field and specifically relates to a method for preparing a camptothecin derivative and its intermediates. Background Technology
[0002] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) link monoclonal antibodies or antibody fragments to biologically active cytotoxins via stable chemical linker compounds. This fully leverages the specificity of antibodies in binding to antigens on the surface of both normal and tumor cells, as well as the high efficiency of cytotoxins, while avoiding the lower efficacy of the former and the excessive toxicity of the latter. This means that, compared to traditional chemotherapy drugs, antibody-drug conjugates can precisely bind to tumor cells and reduce the impact on normal cells.
[0003] Several classes of small molecules with cytotoxicity are used in antibody-drug conjugates, one of which is camptothecin derivatives, which have antitumor effects by inhibiting topoisomerase I. Reports on the application of the camptothecin derivative eczemacon (formula (C), chemical name: (1S,9S)-1-amino-9-ethyl-5-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-9-hydroxy-4-methyl-1H,12H-benzo[de]pyrano[3',4':6,7]imidazo[1,2-b]quinoline-10,13(9H,15H)-dione) in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) include WO2014057687, WO2020063676, WO2020063673, CN112125915A, and CN115925796A.

[0085] Terminology Explanation:
[0086] Unless otherwise stated, the terms used in the specification and claims have the following meanings.
[0087] In the preparation method described in this disclosure, the reactions connected by "→" all refer to one-step reactions that yield the product.
[0088] The term "antibody-drug conjugate" refers to a ligand linked to a biologically active drug via a stable linker. In this disclosure, "antibody-drug conjugate" (ADC) refers to a monoclonal antibody or antibody fragment linked to a biologically active glucocorticoid via a stable linker. The antibody or antibody fragment may bind to a glucocorticoid molecule containing a linker via specific groups therein (e.g., interchain disulfide bonds).
[0089] The term "drug loading" refers to the average amount of drug carried by each antibody-drug conjugate molecule in a population of antibody-drug conjugates, and can also be expressed as the ratio of drug amount to antibody amount. The drug loading range can be 1-20, preferably 1-10, glucocorticoids (D) linked to each antibody (Ab). In embodiments of this disclosure, the drug loading is represented by k, which can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or the average of any two values. Preferably 1-10, more preferably 1-8, or 2-8, or 2-7, or 3-8, or 3-7, or 3-6, or 4-7, or 4-6, or the average of 4-5. The average amount of drug per ADC molecule after the coupling reaction can be identified using conventional methods such as UV / visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA, CE-SDS (monoclonal antibody size variant assay), and HPLC characterization.
[0090] The term "antibody" encompasses a wide range of antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies; monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), full-length antibodies, and antibody fragments (or antigen-binding fragments, or antigen-binding portions), as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. Antibodies can refer to immunoglobulins, which are tetrapeptide chains composed of two heavy chains and two light chains linked by interchain disulfide bonds. The amino acid composition and sequence of the constant region of the heavy chain of immunoglobulins differ, thus their antigenicity also differs. Based on this, immunoglobulins can be classified into five classes, or isotypes of immunoglobulins: IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, with their corresponding heavy chains being μ, δ, γ, α, and ε chains, respectively. Within the same class of Ig, based on differences in the amino acid composition of the hinge region and the number and position of disulfide bonds in the heavy chain, different subclasses can be distinguished; for example, IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Light chains are classified into κ chains or λ chains based on differences in their constant regions. Each of the five types of Ig can have either a κ chain or a λ chain.
[0091] The sequence of approximately 110 amino acids near the N-terminus of both the antibody heavy and light chains varies considerably and is known as the variable region (Fv region); the remaining amino acid sequences near the C-terminus are relatively stable and are called the constant region. The variable region includes three hypervariable regions (HVRs) and four relatively conserved backbone regions (FRs). The three hypervariable regions determine the antibody's specificity and are also called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). Each light chain variable region (LCVR) and heavy chain variable region (HCVR) consists of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The three CDRs of the light chain refer to LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3; the three CDRs of the heavy chain refer to HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3.
[0092] The antibodies disclosed herein include murine antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and fully human antibodies, with humanized antibodies and fully human antibodies being preferred.
[0093] The term "mouse antibody" in this disclosure refers to antibodies prepared using mice in accordance with the knowledge and skills in the art. Preparation involves injecting a test subject with a specific antigen, followed by isolating a hybridoma expressing an antibody with the desired sequence or functional characteristics.
[0094] The term "chimeric antibody" refers to an antibody formed by fusing the variable region of a murine antibody with the constant region of a human antibody. It can reduce the immune response induced by murine antibodies. To create a chimeric antibody, a hybridoma that secretes murine-specific monoclonal antibodies must first be established. Then, the variable region gene is cloned from the murine hybridoma cells. Next, the constant region gene of the human antibody is cloned as needed. The murine variable region gene and the human constant region gene are then linked to form a chimeric gene, which is inserted into an expression vector. Finally, the chimeric antibody molecule is expressed in a eukaryotic or prokaryotic system.
[0095] The term "humanized antibody," also known as a CDR-grafted antibody, refers to an antibody generated by grafting a mouse CDR sequence into a human antibody variable region framework, i.e., a human germline antibody framework sequence of different types. This overcomes the heterologous response induced by chimeric antibodies carrying a large amount of mouse protein components. Such framework sequences can be obtained from public DNA databases or publicly available references that include germline antibody gene sequences. For example, germline DNA sequences of human heavy and light chain variable region genes can be found in the "VBase" human germline sequence database (available at www.mrccpe.com.ac.uk / vbase) and in Kabat, E.A. et al., 1991, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th edition. To avoid a decrease in activity along with a decrease in immunogenicity, the human antibody variable region framework sequence can be subjected to minimal reverse or reversion mutations to maintain activity. The humanized antibodies disclosed herein also include humanized antibodies further matured by phage display with affinity for the CDR. Further literature describing methods that can be used to participate in humanization includes, for example, Queen et al., Proc., Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 88, 2869, 1991 and Winter et al. [Jones et al., Nature, 321, 522 (1986), Riechmann et al., Nature, 332, 323-327 (1988), Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239, 1534 (1988)].
[0096] The term "fully human antibody," also known as a "fully human monoclonal antibody," refers to an antibody whose variable and constant regions are both human-derived, eliminating immunogenicity and toxicity. The development of monoclonal antibodies has gone through four stages: murine monoclonal antibodies, chimeric monoclonal antibodies, humanized monoclonal antibodies, and fully human monoclonal antibodies. This disclosure pertains to fully human monoclonal antibodies. Related technologies for the preparation of fully human antibodies mainly include: human hybridoma technology, EBV-transformed B lymphocyte technology, phage display technology, transgenic mouse antibody preparation technology, and single B cell antibody preparation technology.
[0097] The term “antigen-binding fragment” refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that maintain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that fragments of full-length antibodies can be used for antigen-binding function. Examples of binding fragments included in “antigen-binding fragments” include (i) Fab fragments, monovalent fragments consisting of VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains; (ii) F(ab')2 fragments, bivalent fragments comprising two Fab fragments linked by disulfide bridges on hinge regions; (iii) Fd fragments consisting of VH and CH1 domains; (iv) Fv fragments consisting of VH and VL domains of a single arm of the antibody; (v) single-domain or dAb fragments (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341: 544-546) consisting of a VH domain; and (vi) separate complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) or (vii) combinations of two or more separate CDRs optionally linked by synthetic linkers. Furthermore, although the two domains VL and VH of the Fv fragment are encoded by separate genes, they can be linked by synthetic linkers using recombinant methods, thereby enabling the production of a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form a monovalent molecule (referred to as a single-chain Fv (scFv); see, for example, Bird et al. (1988) Science 242:423-426; and Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883). Such single-chain antibodies are also intended to be included in the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody. Such antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and fragments are screened for functionality in the same manner as for intact antibodies. Antigen-binding moieties can be generated by recombinant DNA techniques or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact immunoglobulins. Antibodies can be different isotypes of antibodies, such as IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 subtypes), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE or IgM antibodies.
[0098] Fab is an antibody fragment with a molecular weight of approximately 50,000 and antigen-binding activity obtained by treating IgG antibody molecules with the protease papain (which cleaves the amino acid residue at position 224 of the H chain). Approximately half of the N-terminal side of the H chain and the entire L chain are linked together by disulfide bonds.
[0099] F(ab')2 is an antibody fragment with a molecular weight of approximately 100,000, possessing antigen-binding activity, and containing two Fab regions connected at the hinge position, obtained by digesting the portion below the two disulfide bonds in the hinge region of IgG with the enzyme pepsin.
[0100] Fab' is an antibody fragment with a molecular weight of approximately 50,000 and antigen-binding activity obtained by cleaving the disulfide bonds in the hinge region of the aforementioned F(ab')2.
[0101] In addition, the Fab' can be produced by inserting DNA encoding the Fab' fragment of an antibody into a prokaryotic or eukaryotic expression vector and then introducing the vector into a prokaryote or eukaryote to express the Fab'.
[0102] The terms “single-chain antibody,” “single-chain Fv,” or “scFv” refer to molecules containing a variable domain (or region; VH) of the antibody heavy chain and a variable domain (or region; VL) of the antibody light chain linked by a linker. Such scFv molecules may have a general structure: NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable prior art linkers consist of repeating GGGGS amino acid sequences or variants thereof, for example, using variants with 1–4 repeats (Holliger et al. (1993), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444–6448). Other connectors that may be used in this disclosure are described by Alfthan et al. (1995), Protein Eng. 8:725-731, Choi et al. (2001), Eur. J. Immunol. 31:94-106, Hu et al. (1996), Cancer Res. 56:3055-3061, Kipriyanov et al. (1999), J. Mol. Biol. 293:41-56 and Roovers et al. (2001), Cancer Immunol.
[0103] The term "CDR" refers to one of the six hypervariable regions within the variable domain of an antibody that primarily facilitate antigen binding. One of the most commonly used definitions of the six CDRs is provided by Kabat EA et al., (1991) Sequences of proteins of immunological interest. NIH Publication 91-3242. As used herein, the Kabat definition of CDR applies only to CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 (CDR L1, CDR L2, CDR L3 or L1, L2, L3) of the light chain variable domain, and CDR2 and CDR3 (CDR H2, CDR H3 or H2, H3) of the heavy chain variable domain. Typically, there are three CDRs (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3) in each heavy chain variable domain and three CDRs (LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3) in each light chain variable domain. The amino acid sequence boundaries of CDRs can be determined using any of a variety of well-known schemes, including the “Kabat” numbering rule (see Kabat et al. (1991), “Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” 5th edition, Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD), the “Chothia” numbering rule (see Al-Lazikani et al., (1997) JMB 273: 927-948), and the ImMunoGenTics (IMGT) numbering rule (see Lefranc MP, Immunologist, 7, 132-136 (1999); Lefranc, MP et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol., 27, 55-77 (2003)), etc. For example, in the classic format, following Kabat rules, the CDR amino acid residues in the heavy chain variable domain (VH) are numbered 31-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and the CDR amino acid residues in the light chain variable domain (VL) are numbered 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3). Following Chothia rules, the CDR amino acids in VH are numbered 26-32 (HCDR1), 52-56 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and the amino acid residues in VL are numbered 26-32 (LCDR1), 50-52 (LCDR2), and 91-96 (LCDR3).Combining the CDR definitions from Kabat and Chothia, the CDR is composed of amino acid residues 26-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3) from human VH and amino acid residues 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3) from human VL. Following IMGT rules, the CDR amino acid residues in VH are approximately numbered 26-35 (CDR1), 51-57 (CDR2), and 93-102 (CDR3), while those in VL are approximately numbered 27-32 (CDR1), 50-52 (CDR2), and 89-97 (CDR3). Following IMGT rules, the CDR region of an antibody can be determined using the IMGT / DomainGap Align procedure.
[0104] The term "antibody framework" refers to a portion of the variable domain VL or VH that serves as a scaffold for the antigen-binding loop (CDR) of that variable domain. Essentially, it is a variable domain without a CDR.
[0105] The term “epitope” or “antigenic determinant” refers to the site on an antigen where an immunoglobulin or antibody specifically binds. Epitopes typically consist of at least 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 consecutive or discontinuous amino acids in a unique spatial conformation (see, for example, Epitope Mapping Protocols in Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 66, GEMorris, Ed. (1996)).
[0106] The terms "specific binding," "selective binding," "selective binding," and "specific binding" refer to the binding of an antibody to a pre-defined epitope on an antigen. Typically, antibodies bind at a concentration of approximately less than 10... -7 M, for example: approximately less than 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 M or lower affinity (KD) binding.
[0107] The term "nucleic acid molecule" refers to both DNA and RNA molecules. Nucleic acid molecules can be single-stranded or double-stranded, but double-stranded DNA is preferred. Nucleic acids are "effectively linked" when placed in a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, if a promoter or enhancer affects the transcription of a coding sequence, then the promoter or enhancer is effectively linked to said coding sequence.
[0108] The term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting another nucleic acid to which it has been linked. In one embodiment, the vector is a "plasmid," which refers to a circular double-stranded DNA loop to which an additional DNA segment can be linked. In another embodiment, the vector is a viral vector, in which an additional DNA segment can be linked to a viral genome. The vectors disclosed herein are capable of autonomous replication in host cells that have been introduced into them (e.g., bacterial vectors with bacterial origins of replication and episodic mammalian vectors) or can be integrated into the host cell's genome after introduction into the host cell, thereby replicating along with the host genome (e.g., non-episodic mammalian vectors).
[0109] Methods for producing and purifying antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are well-known in the prior art, such as those described in Cold Spring Harbor's Guide to Antibody Laboratory Techniques, Chapters 5-8 and 15. Antigen-binding fragments can also be prepared using conventional methods. The antibodies or antigen-binding fragments described in this invention utilize genetic engineering methods to add one or more human FR regions to a non-human CDR region. Human FR germline sequences can be obtained by comparing with the IMGT Human Antibody Variable Region Germline Gene Database and MOE software, from the ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) website http: / / imgt.cines.fr, or from the journal Immunoglobulins, 2001 ISBN012441351.
[0110] The term "host cell" refers to a cell into which an expression vector has been introduced. Host cells can include bacterial, microbial, plant, or animal cells. Easily transformable bacteria include members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, such as strains of Escherichia coli or Salmonella; members of the Bacillaceae family, such as Bacillus subtilis; Pneumococcus; Streptococcus; and Haemophilus influenzae. Suitable microorganisms include Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris. Suitable animal host cell lines include CHO (Chinese hamster ovary cell line) and NSO cells.
[0111] The engineered antibody or antigen-binding fragments disclosed herein can be prepared and purified using conventional methods. For example, cDNA sequences encoding the heavy and light chains can be cloned and recombined into GS expression vectors. Recombinant immunoglobulin expression vectors can stably transfect CHO cells. As a more preferred prior art, mammalian expression systems lead to glycosylation of the antibody, particularly at the highly conserved N-terminal site in the Fc region. Positive clones are scaled up in serum-free medium in a bioreactor to produce antibodies. The culture medium secreting the antibody can be purified using conventional techniques, such as using an A or G Sepharose FF column with adjusted buffer. Non-specifically bound components are washed away. The bound antibody is then eluted using a pH gradient, and the antibody fragments are detected by SDS-PAGE and collected. The antibody can be concentrated by filtration using conventional methods. Soluble mixtures and polymers can also be removed using conventional methods, such as molecular sieving or ion exchange. The resulting product should be immediately frozen, e.g., at -70°C, or lyophilized.
[0112] Amino acid sequence “identity” refers to the percentage of amino acid residues in a first sequence that are identical to those in a second sequence, after aligning the amino acid sequences and, where necessary, introducing gaps to achieve the maximum percentage of sequence identity, without considering any conserved substitutions as part of the sequence identity. For the purpose of determining the percentage of amino acid sequence identity, alignment can be performed in a variety of ways within the scope of the art, such as using publicly available computer software, such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2, or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine the parameters suitable for measuring alignment, including any algorithms required to achieve maximum alignment across the full length of the sequences being compared.
