Definitions

  • This invention is directed to hydrolyzable prodrugs for delivery of therapeutic drugs to metastatic cells, particularly anticancer drugs.
  • Metastasis is the hallmark of cancer.
  • a tumor that does not metastasize is termed "benign” because it poses a threat of survival that is small compared to a "malignant" tumor that does metastasize (McGuire, New En ⁇ . J. Med.. 320:525 (1989)).
  • Metastasis involves a sequence of events that few cells can successfully complete (Sanchez, Am. J. Med. ScL 292:376 (1986); Poste, Nature. 283:139 (1980)). Metastatic cells must break away from the primary tumor, survive attack by the immune system during transit in the blood, lodge somewhere while resisting the shear force of the moving blood stream, penetrate basement membrane to reach a safe haven where they can multiply, and finally create a blood supply of their own when the demand for nourishment of the growing metastatic tumor exceeds what is available locally by diffusion. Metastatic cells are not a representative sample of the tumor (itself highly heterogeneous) (Poste, Ann. New York Acad. Sci., 397:34 (1982); Heppner, Cancer Res..
  • metastases are very small and therefore comparatively accessible to chemotherapy, they are highly resistant to present day drugs, for in spite of heavy medication, survival rates for e.g., phases 2 and 3 breast carcinoma (lymph node involvement signaling spread) are very low compared to phase 1 (no spread). In the absence of spread, the survival rate is 70% or greater; in the presence of spread, it is less than 10% (McGuire, New En ⁇ . J. Med.. 320:525 (1989)). Inhibiting as contrasted with killing metastases can only prolong life a short while because by the time cancer is typically diagnosed, metastasis has already taken place.
  • such anti -metastatic reagents should be usable against many types of metastases and not depend for their activity on characteristics of the primary tumor cells that might not be shared by the metastases.
  • such anti-metastatic reagents should be readily absorbed and lack toxicity, particularly in patients who are already subject to regimens consisting of multiple drug treatment.
  • a hydrolyzable prodrug according to the present invention comprises an amino-terminal capped peptide covalently linked to a therapeutic drug through a self- immolating spacer of sufficient length to prevent the occurrence of steric hindrance.
  • the amino-terminal capped peptide is a substrate for a peptidohydrolase located on the surface of a metastatic cell
  • the peptidohydrolase is cathepsin B or collagenase IV.
  • the peptidohydrolase is cathepsin B.
  • the amino-terminal capped peptide is benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyllysine, benzyloxycarbonylvalinyllysine, D- phenylalanylphenylalanyllysine, benzyloxycarbonylvalinylcitrulline, t-butyloxyca ⁇ >onylphenylalanylysine, benzyloxycarbonyl- alanyllarginylarginine, benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyl-N-tosylarginine,2- aminoethylthio-succinimidopropionylvalinylcitrulline, 2-aminoethylthio- succinimidopropionyllysylphenylalanyllysine, acetylphenyialanyllysine, or benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyl-O-benzoylthreonine.
  • the therapeutic drug is an anticancer drug.
  • the anticancer drug is doxorubicin, mitomycin C, taxol, esperamycin, or camptothecin.
  • a particularly preferred anticancer drug is doxorubicin.
  • PABC p_-aminobenzyl carbonyl
  • the hydrolyzable prodrug can further comprise a peptide derived from a protein to which metastatic cells adhere in establishing colonies covalently linked to the therapeutic drug.
  • the peptide is a RGD-derived active peptide or a YIGSR-derived active peptide.
  • the peptide is YIGSR (SEQ ID NO:1) or GRGDS (SEQ ID NO:2).
  • Preferred hydrolyzable prodrugs according to the present invention include benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyllysyl-rj-aminobenzyl carbamoyldoxorubicin, acetylphenylalanyllysyl- ⁇ -aminobenzyl carbamoyldoxorubicin, acetylphenylalanyliysyl-g-aminobenzyl carbamoylmitomycin C, benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyllysyl-p_-aminobenzyl carbonyl-7-paclitaxel, acetylphenylalanyllysyl-p-aminobenzyl carbonylcamptothecin, 2-aminoethylthio-succinimidopropionyl- valinyicitrullinyl-BHMS-didoxorubicin, 2-aminoethylthio- succinimidopropionyl
  • Another aspect of the present invention is a method for delivering a therapeutic drug to a metastatic cell comprising the steps of: (1) contacting a hydrolyzable prodrug according to the present invention with a metastatic cell;

  • Figure 1 1 is a table showing the killing of BT-20 and MCF-10A tumor cells at various times and prodrug concentrations with the hydrolyzable prodrug CA-SP-Lys-Phe-Lys-BHMS-Dox 2 ;
  • Figure 12 is a table showing the stability of hydrolyzable prodrugs according to the present invention under physiological conditions in the presence or absence of cathepsin B.
  • One new approach to developing reagents specific for metastatic cells takes advantage of the properties of the metastatic cells themselves, particularly those properties possessed by the metastatic cells that allow them to spread through the body and adhere to specific tissues.
  • One such property is the ability of metastatic cells to penetrate basement membrane (Sanchez, Am. J. Med. Sci. 292:376 (1986); Poste, Nature. 283:139 (1980)), shared only by the peripheral cells of the primary tumor (Poole, Nature. 273:545 (1978); Shamberger, Nature. 213:617 (1967); Graf, Lab. Invest.. 45:587 (1981 ); Baici, Inv. Metas.. 4:13 (1984); Duffy, Eur. J. Cancer Clin. Oncol.. 23:583 (1987)) and by virtually no normal body cells.
  • Metastatic cells do this by means of hydrolytic enzymes which they secrete into the medium (Duffy, Eur. J. Can. Clin. Oncol.. 23:583 (1987); MacKay, Cancer Res.. 50:5997 (1990); Goldfarb, Sem. Thromb. Hemostas.. 12:294 (1986); Pietras, Gynec. Oncol.. 7:1 (1979)) or in their plasma membranes (Sylven, Virchows Arch. B.. 17:97 (1974); Sloane, Biomed. Biochim. Acta. 50:549 (1991 ); Keren, Cancer Res.. 48:1416 (1989); Pietras, J. Biol. Chem..
  • Tumors are proteolvtic (Fischer. Arch. Entw. Mech. Arg.. 104:210 (1925); Duffy, Eur. J. Cancer Clin. Oncol.. 23:583 (1987); Strauli et al., ed., "Proteinases and Tumor Invasion” (Raven Press, New York, 1980)), and this power is correlated with metastatic propensity (Duffy, Eur. J. Cancer Clin. Oncol.. 23:583 (1987); Sylven, Virchows Arch. B.. 17:97 (1974); Sloane,
  • Enzymes known to be secreted by metastasizing cells include cathepsin B (Sloane, Biomed. Biochim. Acta. 50:549 (1991 ); Keren, Cancer Res.. 48:1416 (1989); Pietras, J. Biol. Chem.. 256:8536 (1981 ); Weiss, Proc. Am. Assoc. Cancer Res...
  • cytotoxic drugs at the sites of metastatic foci.
  • Preferred drugs are those that are readily ingested by cells such as doxorubicin (Dox) (also known as adriamycin (ADM)), mitomycin C (MMC), taxol, camptothecin (CPT), and esperamycin, as well as derivatives of these drugs.
  • Dox doxorubicin
  • MMC mitomycin C
  • CPT camptothecin
  • esperamycin esperamycin
  • anticancer drugs have substantial hydrophobic moieties so that they can pass through the plasma membrane of metastatic cells.
  • Other anticancer drugs can be derivatized with appropriate hydrophobic moieties to improve their permeability to the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane of the metastatic cell.
  • a particularly useful enzyme with prodrugs according to the present invention is cathepsin B, principally because it is an exopeptidase (Takahashi, J. Biol. Chem.. 261 :9375 (1986); Koga, J. Biochem.. 110:179 (1991)) for which numerous peptide substrates are already known (Dingle, ed., “Lysosomes” (North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1977); Strauli et al., eds., “Proteinases and Tumor Invasion” (Raven Press, New York, 1980); Neuberger, ed., "Hydrolytic Enzymes” (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1987)).
  • Cathepsin B is a lysosomal enzyme that is ubiquitous within cells (Dingle, ed., “Lysosomes” (North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1977); Strauli et al., eds., “Proteinases and Tumor Invasion” (Raven Press, New York, 1980); Neuberger, ed., “Hydrolytic Enzymes” (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1987)), but almost never secreted normally. If small amounts of cathepsin B do escape during exocytosis or unprogrammed cell death, it loses all activity within 15 minutes at neutral pH (Sheahan, Cancer Res..
  • the plasma membrane is obviously a highly desirable place to activate a latent cytotoxic drug which should be delivered, not only as directly as possible to the target cells, but also to neighboring cancer cells that might not display as much cathepsin B as the majority, owing to the high genetic instability (Fidler, Cancer Treat. Rep.. 68:193 (1984)) of metastasizing cells.
  • a preferred reagent for delivering therapeutic drugs to metastasizing cells is a hydrolyzable prodrug comprising an amino-terminal capped peptide covalently linked to a therapeutic drug through a self-immolating spacer of sufficient length to prevent the occurrence of steric hindrance.
  • the amino-terminal capped peptide is a substrate for a peptidohydrolase located on the surface of a metastatic cell.
  • the peptidohydrolase is cathepsin B or collagenase
  • the peptidohydrolase is cathepsin B.
  • the amino-terminal capped peptide that acts as a substrate for the peptidohydrolase is typically one of benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyllysine, benzyloxycarbonylvalinyllysine, D-phenylalanylphenylalanyllysine, benzyloxycarbonylvalinylcitrulline, t-butyloxycarbonylphenylalanylysine, benzyloxycarbonylalanyllarginylarginine, benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyl-N- tosylarginine,2-aminoethylthio-succinimidopropionylvalinylcitrulline, 2- aminoethylthio-succinimidopropionyllysylphenylalanyllysine,
  • the amino-terminal capped peptide is benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyllysine or acetylphenylalanyllysine.
  • substrates containing paired basic residues can be hydroiyzed by cathepsin B (J.K. McDonald & S. Ellis, Life Sci.. 17:1269-1276 (1975)).
  • the amino-terminal residue must be "capped” or protected with a protecting group.
  • protecting groups are well-known in peptide chemistry and include, for example, benzyloxycarbonyl (also known as carbobenzoxy and generally abbreviated as Z), acetyl, 2-aminoethylthio-succinimidopropionyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl, and other amino-terminal protecting groups such as those disclosed in M. Bodanszky, "Principles of Peptide Synthesis” (2d Ed., Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1993).
  • These groups include triphenylmethyl, ⁇ - methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, adamantyloxycarbonyl, biphenylylisopropyloxycarbonyl, formyl. isonicotinyloxycarbonyl, o- nitrophenylsulfenyl, 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl, derivatives of benzyloxycarbonyl substituted on the aromatic ring of the benzyl group, or, in some cases, in which the phenyl moiety of the benzyl group is replaced with another fully aromatic moiety such as furan or pyndine, phthaloyl, dithiasuccinyl, p-toluenesulfonyl (tosyl), and other groups.
  • the amino-terminal protecting group can be a D- amino acid such as D-phenylalanine.
  • the amino-terminal protecting group is a D-amino acid
  • the carboxyl group of the D-amino acid forms a peptide bond with the amino-terminal residue of the amino-terminal protected peptide.
  • the protecting group is benzyloxycarbonyl or acetyl, so that the amino-terminal protected peptide is benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyllysine or acetylphenylalanyllysine.
  • the hydrolyzable prodrug includes a spacer of sufficient length to prevent the occurrence of ste c hindrance between the amino-terminal protected peptide and the therapeutic drug. If the spacer is too short, the therapeutic drug may prevent the binding of the substrate for the peptidohydrolase to the active site of the peptidohydrolase by stenc hindrance.
  • a particularly suitable spacer is ⁇ _-am ⁇ nobenzyl carbonyl ("PABC"). This has an approximate length of 10 angstroms.
  • Derivatives of p-aminobenzyl carbonyl can also be used, such as compounds substituted on the aromatic moiety of the benzyl group.
  • spacer groups can be used.
  • the length of the spacer should be greater than about 10 angstroms; spacers of significantly greater length can be used, and can incorporate, for example, additional aliphatic or aromatic moieties. In general, such spacers should be relatively unbranched so as not to introduce stenc hindrance of their own.
  • the chemical functionality terminating the spacer can vary but one end is able to react with the carboxyl-terminal residue of the substrate for the peptidohydrolase. Typically, this is an amino group.
  • the other functionality terminating the spacer is capable of reacting with the therapeutic drug. In one preferred embodiment, this functionality reacts at an amino group of the drug to form a carbamate or urethane linkage as part of the spacer.
  • This spacer also reacts at an amino group of the drug to form a carbamate or urethane linkage.
  • This spacer is bifunctional and can bind two drug moieties such as doxorubicin.
  • such spacers have the property of self-immolation.
  • a self-immolating spacer is one in which the residual portion of the spacer attached to the therapeutic drug subsequent to the hydrolysis of the peptide bond by the peptidohydrolase is then further cleaved by spontaneous, nonenzymatic hydrolysis in an aqueous medium to restore the original unconjugated drug.
  • Both PABC and BHMS are self-immolating.
  • the spacer is p_-aminobenzyl carbonyl ("PABC") and the therapeutic drug is doxorubicin
  • PABC p_-aminobenzyl carbonyl
  • doxorubicin the portion of the spacer remaining attached to the drug after hydrolysis of the peptide bond by cathepsin B, then subsequently undergoes spontaneous hydrolysis to ⁇ _-aminobenzyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and doxorubicin.
  • the therapeutic drug is an anticancer drug.
  • other therapeutic drugs can be incorporated into hydrolyzable prodrugs according to the present invention and can be delivered to metastatic cells.
  • Preferred anticancer drugs incorporated into hydrolyzable prodrugs according to the present invention include doxorubicin, taxol, camptothecin, mitomycin C, and esperamycin, as well as derivatives thereof.
  • Other anticancer drugs that have hydrophobic moieties that allow them to be taken up efficiently by metastatic cells or that can be derivatized with such moieties can also be used.
  • hydrolyzable prodrugs include benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyllysyl- ⁇ -aminobenzyl carbamoyldoxorubicin, acetylphenylalanyliysyl-p_-aminobenzyl carbamoyldoxorubicin, acetylphenylalanyllysyl-p_-aminobenzyl carbamoylmitomycin C, benzyloxycarbonylphenylalanyllysyl- _-aminobenzyl carbonyl-7-paclitaxel, acetylphenylalanyllysyl-p_-aminobenzyl carbonylcamptothecin, 2- aminoethylthio-succinimidopropionyl-valinylcitrullinyl-bis(hydroxymethyl)- styryl-bisdoxorubicin, 2-aminoethylthi
  • Synthesis of hydrolyzable prodrugs according to the present invention can be accomplished by condensation reactions that are well known in the art. Examples of syntheses are given below in Examples 1 -6.
  • the synthetic procedure comprises: (1 ) synthesizing the peptide that is the substrate of the peptidohydrolase by conventional peptide synthetic techniques, with the ⁇ -amino group of the amino-terminal amino acid residue protected and appropriate protection for reactive side chains of the amino acids; (2) linking the g-aminobenzyl moiety to the carboxyl group of the carboxyl-terminal amino acid; (3) activating the j-aminobenzyl moiety for covalent linkage of the therapeutic drug; (4) covalently linking the therapeutic drug, which may have certain reactive side chains protected as well; and (5) removing the remaining protecting groups on the peptide and the therapeutic drug.
  • the synthetic procedure comprises: (1) synthesizing a peptide that is the substrate of the peptidohydrolase by conventional peptide synthetic techniques, with appropriate protective groups as above; (2) linking the BHMS moiety to the carboxyl group of the carboxyl-terminal amino acid of the peptide; (3) activating the BHMS moiety for coupling of the therapeutic drug; (4) coupling the therapeutic drug to the activated BHMS moiety; (5) removing any protecting groups on amino acid side chains, such as the ⁇ -amino group of lysine; and (6) modifying the amino-terminal blocking group so that the desired capping group is present.
  • the substrate for cleavage by the peptidohydrolase is a tripeptide or peptide with more than three amino acids
  • the peptide can be extended at its amino-terminus after the coupling of the carboxyl-terminus to the spacer. This involves removing the amino-terminal protecting group of the peptide, activating the carboxyl group of the amino acid to be added, and coupling it to the deblocked amino group to form a peptide bond. This step can be repeated if a longer peptide is desired. Then, the therapeutic drug is coupled to the completed peptide and synthesis of the hydrolyzable prodrug is completed as above.

Wong, “Chemistry of Protein Conjugation and Crosslinking” (CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla. 1991), and in T.E. Creighton, Ed., "Protein Function: A Practical Approach” (IRL Press, Oxford 1989).
  • the peptide can be linked, for example, to a maleimidopropionyl cap via a cysteine whose thiol group is added to the maleimido group, or to a glycine or other amino acid cap (replacing the acetyl cap) via acylation of the amino group of the glycine, or by attaching the peptide to the reposition of the benzyloxycarbonyl cap, or by other methods known to the art.
  • the linkage of these peptides such as YIGSR (SEQ ID NO: 2) to the prodrug may be with or without intervening links which might or might not consist of other amino acids.
  • conjugation or crosslinking methods can also be used to attach the peptides such as the peptides from laminin or fibronectin to other portions of the hydrolyzable prodrug,. tn most cases, attaching the peptide to the self-immolating spacer would either prevent hydrolysis of the substrate by the peptidohydrolase or result in steric hindrance.
  • a number of peptides derived from the fibronectin and laminin peptides can be linked to the hydrolyzable prodrugs. These peptides can be classified in terms of their structure and homology to the fibronectin or laminin sequence as follows:

  • a prodrug lacking the self-immolating linkers PABC or BHMS has much reduced cytotoxicity, showing that it is an enzyme, presumably cathepsin B, that releases active drug. This is because the absence of the self-immolating linker results in steric hindrance.

Abstract

Les promédicaments hydrolysables selon l'invention sont activés par des protéases situées dans les membranes cellulaires de cellules métastatiques, de sorte que soient produits des médicaments anticancéreux actifs pouvant être absorbés par les cellules métastatiques. En général, un promédicament hydrolysable selon l'invention, comprend un peptide coiffé d'un N-terminal et qui constitue un substrat pour une peptidohydrolase située à la surface d'une cellule métastatique liée de manière covalente à un médicament thérapeutique par l'intermédiaire d'un espaceur à auto-immolation présentant une longueur suffisante pour empêcher l'apparition d'un empêchement stérique. Le médicament thérapeutique est généralement un médicament anti-cancéreux, généralement de la doxorubicine, du taxol, de la camptothécine, de la mitomycine C ou de l'espéramycine. Généralement, la peptidohydrolase qui hydrolyse le substrat du promédicament hydrolysable est de la cathepsine B.
