Definitions

  • ADCs Antibody-drug conjugates
  • the invention relates to binder-drug conjugates (ADCs) of kinesin spindle protein inhibitors, to active metabolites of these ADCs, to methods of producing these ADCs, to the use of these ADCs for the treatment and / or prevention of diseases and to the use of these ADCs for the preparation of medicaments for the treatment and / or prevention of diseases, in particular hyperproliferative and / or angiogenic diseases such as, for example, cancer.
  • ADCs binder-drug conjugates
  • Such treatments may be monotherapy or in combination with other medicines or other therapeutic measures.
  • Cancers are the result of uncontrolled cell growth of various tissues. In many cases, the new cells invade existing tissues (invasive growth) or they metastasize to distant organs. Cancers occur in various organs and often have tissue-specific disease courses. Therefore, the term cancer as a generic term describes a large group of defined diseases of various organs, tissues and cell types.
  • early stage tumors may be removed by surgical and radiotherapeutic measures.
  • metastatic tumors can only be treated palliatively by chemotherapeutic agents.
  • the goal here is to achieve the optimal combination of improving the quality of life and extending the lifetime.
  • ADCs antibody drug conjugates
  • cytotoxic agent itself or another cytotoxic metabolite formed therefrom is released within the tumor cell, where it can exert its direct and selective action
  • damage to normal tissue could be kept to a significantly lower limit than conventional chemotherapy for cancer [see, eg, JM Lambert, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol., 5, 543-549 BHC 15 1 040-A
  • WO2012 / 171020 describes ADCs in which several toxophore molecules are linked to an antibody via a polymeric linker.
  • the substances SB 743921, SB 715992 (isospinesib), MK-0371, AZD8477, AZ3146 and ARRY-520 are mentioned in WO2012 / 171020 as potential toxophores.
  • Kinesin spindle protein inhibitors Kinesin spindle protein (KSP, also known as Eg5, HsEg5, KNSL1, or KJF11) is a kinesin-like motor protein that is essential for the function of the bipolar mitotic spindle. Inhibition of KSP leads to mitotic arrest and apoptosis for a prolonged period of time (Tao et al., Cancer Cell 2005 Jul 8 (1), 39-59).
  • KSP inhibitors After finding the first cell-derived KSP inhibitor, monastrol, KSP inhibitors have become established as a class of new chemotherapeutic agents (Mayer et al., Science 286: 971-974, 1999) and are the subject of a number of patent applications (eg, WO2006 / 044825 WO2006 / 002236, WO2005 / 051922, WO2006 / 060737, WO03 / 060064, WO03 / 040979, and WO03 / 049527).
  • KSP inhibitors since KSP is effective only in a short period of the mitosis phase, KSP inhibitors must be present in a sufficiently high concentration during this phase.
  • WO2014 / 151030 discloses ADCs with certain KSP inhibitors.
  • the invention provides conjugates of a glycosylated or aglycosylated-anti-B7H3 antibody with compounds of the following formula (I), wherein one or more of the compounds of the formula (I) is linked to the antibody via a linker L or are.
  • aglycosylated antibodies have no glycans at the conserved N-binding site in the CH2 domain of the Fc region and therefore do not bind to NK cells. Therefore, an aglycosylated antibody does not support NK cell-mediated cellular cytotoxicity.
  • the antibody is preferably a human, humanized or chimeric monoclonal antibody.
