Antifolates are a class of antimetabolite medications that antagonise (that is, block) the actions of folic acid (vitamin B₉). Folic acid's primary function in the body is as a cofactor to various methyltransferases involved in serine, methionine, thymidine and purine biosynthesis. Consequently, antifolates inhibit cell division, DNA/RNA synthesis and repair and protein synthesis. Some such as proguanil, pyrimethamine and trimethoprim selectively inhibit folate's actions in microbial organisms such as bacteria, protozoa and fungi. The majority of antifolates work by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR).
Antibody constructs that bind human folate receptor alpha (FRα or FOLR1) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising an anti-FRα antibody construct conjugated to a drug, such as a cytotoxin or an immune modulator, and their use as therapeutics or diagnostics, for example, in the treatment or diagnosis of cancer.
The present invention describes a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for FOLR1, a vector encoding the FOLR1CAR, a recombinant host cell (CAR-T or CAR-NK) comprising the FOLR1CAR, and a method of using the CAR-T or CAR-NK to treat a disease associated with the expression of FOLR1. The present invention also describes a humanized anti-FOLR1 monoclonalantibody and an antigen-binding fragment thereof.
Disclosed is an antibody that specifically recognizes and binds to folate receptor α, also referred to as anti-folate receptora antibody or anti-FRα antibody. Also disclosed is an antibody-drug conjugate of the anti-FRα antibody. Disclosed are uses of the anti-FRα antibody and the antibody-drug conjugate in the treatment of diseases related to FRα expression.
The name of the invention is polyglutamic acid-modified antifolic acid agents and uses thereof. The present disclosure relates generally to polyglutamic acid-modified antifolate agents, formulations containing liposomes filled with polyglutamic acid-modified antifolate agents, methods of making polyglutamic acid-modified antifolate agents and liposomal-containing formulations, and methods of making polyglutamic acid-modified antifolate agents and liposomal-containing formulations, and methods of treating myeloproliferative disorders (e.g., cancer) and immune system disorders (e.g., autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis) using the polyglutamic acid-modified antifolate and the liposomal-containing formulations.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising antibody constructs that bind to human folate receptor alpha (FRα or FOLR1) and anti-FRα antibody constructs conjugated to drugs such as cytotoxins or immunomodulators, and their use as therapeutic or diagnostic agents, for example, in the treatment or diagnosis of cancer.
The present disclosure relates to antibody conjugates with binding specificity for folate receptor alpha (FOLR1) and its isoforms and homologs, and compositions comprising the antibody conjugates, including pharmaceutical compositions. Also provided are methods of producing the antibody conjugates and compositions as well as methods of using the antibody conjugates and compositions, such as in therapeutic and diagnostic methods.
