Definitions

  • the disclosure belongs to the technical field of medical technology, and relates to a bioactive molecule conjugate, preparation method thereof, and use in the prevention and/or treatment of a disease associated with an abnormal cell activity, including but not limited to the use in the prevention and/or treatment of a neoplastic disease.
  • Chemotherapy was once a standard therapy for cancer, but bioactive molecules having high killing effect can mistakenly kill normal cells, resulting in serious side effects.
  • Targeted therapy has become a hot research topic in the field of oncology due to the targetability and anti-tumor activity.
  • bio-macromolecular drugs e.g., therapeutic antibodies or antibody fragments
  • targeted small molecule ligands e.g., targeted small molecule ligands.
  • bio-macromolecular drugs e.g., therapeutic antibodies or antibody fragments
  • bio-macromolecular drugs have limited curative effects on solid tumors; in addition, bioactive molecules often lack targetability and accidentally injure normal cells and cause serious toxic and side effects, despite of their high killing effect on cancer cells.
  • ADCs antibody-drug conjugates
  • the ADC combine the targeting effect of antibodies and the activity of bioactive molecules making it a “biological missile”.
  • the ADC is guided by antibodies to bind to target cells, and then is internalized by cells to release drugs thereby treating relevant diseases. Due to the specificity and targetability to tumor cell related targets, the application values of antibodies not only are reflected in the treatment, but also become an ideal carrier for drug targeted delivery, and reduce side effects of drugs.
  • Small molecule drug conjugates are designed on the basis of same principle as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs); that is, coupling bioactive molecules with some small molecule ligands which can selectively bind to receptors on the surfaces of tumor cells through chemical processes, thereby improving the targetability of effector molecules (bioactive molecules) to tumor cells.
  • ADCs antibody-drug conjugates
  • the difference between the SMDCs and the ADCs is that the SMDCs use small molecule ligands instead of antibodies, and there is not yet SMDC available on the market.
  • An ADC generally consists of an antibody, a bioactive molecule and a linker.
  • the bioactive molecule is covalently coupled to the antibody via the linker; the antibody (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) can specifically recognize a specific target on the surface of a tumor cell, thus guiding the ADC to reach the surface of cancer cell and enabling the ADC to enter the cancer cell through endocytosis effect; then the bioactive molecule is released in the cancer cell to achieve the effect of specifically killing the cancer cell without damaging normal tissue cells.
  • the antibody e.g., monoclonal antibodies
  • Lysine is the most common linking site in antibodies, and ⁇ -amino groups thereof can react with activated carboxyl groups of linkers to form amide bonds.
  • Techniques for site-specific coupling are currently available, that is, carboxyl groups of linkers are activated, and then form amide bonds with specific lysine ⁇ -amino groups in antibodies to complete the coupling.
  • amide bonds are prone to hydrolysis under the action of enzymes in vivo, as a result, bioactive molecules and antibodies dissociate before reaching target cells resulted in increasing toxicity while losing targetability of ADCs.
  • Thio groups of antibody cysteine usually exist in the form of disulfide bonds.
  • the disulfide bonds in the antibody can be opened to provide multiple free sulfhydryl groups as coupling sites.
  • One method of coupling with the sulfhydryl groups of the antibody is Michael addition reaction between the free sulfhydryl groups of the antibody and maleimide, or two Michael addition reactions between a specific substrate and free sulfhydryl groups of the antibody to form a sulfur bridge bond in a unique structure.
  • ADCs obtained by thiol-Michael addition methods will undergo reverse Michael additions in systemic circulation, resulting in toxic reactions.
  • the patent WO2016142049 discloses amatoxins as bioactive molecules, and structure comprising bioactive molecules having the structure of methylsulfonyl-substituted benzobisoxadiazole and linkers, but details of coupling with antibodies are not specifically described.
  • the invention discloses a novel bioactive molecule conjugate, which is obtained by improving the coupling way of the drug and the targeting moiety in an ADC or SMDC.
  • the conjugate has high stability, extremely high coupling efficiency (90%) and high DAR (5-8).
  • the disclosure is based on the above findings.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The disclosure belongs to the technical field of medical technology, and relates to a bioactive molecule conjugate, preparation method thereof, and use in the prevention and/or treatment of a disease associated with an abnormal cell activity, including but not limited to the use in the prevention and/or treatment of a neoplastic disease.
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • Chemotherapy was once a standard therapy for cancer, but bioactive molecules having high killing effect can mistakenly kill normal cells, resulting in serious side effects. Targeted therapy has become a hot research topic in the field of oncology due to the targetability and anti-tumor activity. Since the 20th century, breakthroughs have been made in the development of anti-tumor drugs and tumor targeted therapies using bio-macromolecular drugs (e.g., therapeutic antibodies or antibody fragments) and targeted small molecule ligands. However, despite of their high targetability, bio-macromolecular drugs have limited curative effects on solid tumors; in addition, bioactive molecules often lack targetability and accidentally injure normal cells and cause serious toxic and side effects, despite of their high killing effect on cancer cells.
  • Recent studies have found that therapeutic antibodies can be linked to bioactive molecules to form antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The ADC combine the targeting effect of antibodies and the activity of bioactive molecules making it a “biological missile”. The ADC is guided by antibodies to bind to target cells, and then is internalized by cells to release drugs thereby treating relevant diseases. Due to the specificity and targetability to tumor cell related targets, the application values of antibodies not only are reflected in the treatment, but also become an ideal carrier for drug targeted delivery, and reduce side effects of drugs. Small molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs) are designed on the basis of same principle as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs); that is, coupling bioactive molecules with some small molecule ligands which can selectively bind to receptors on the surfaces of tumor cells through chemical processes, thereby improving the targetability of effector molecules (bioactive molecules) to tumor cells. The difference between the SMDCs and the ADCs is that the SMDCs use small molecule ligands instead of antibodies, and there is not yet SMDC available on the market.
  • Currently, there are four commercially available ADCs: Mylotarg (Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin), Adcetris (Brentuximab Vedotin, CD30 monoclonal antibody-MMAE), Kadcyla (Trastuzumab Emtansine) and Besponsa (Inotuzumab ozogamicin, CD22 monoclonal antibody-calicheamicin). An ADC generally consists of an antibody, a bioactive molecule and a linker. The bioactive molecule is covalently coupled to the antibody via the linker; the antibody (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) can specifically recognize a specific target on the surface of a tumor cell, thus guiding the ADC to reach the surface of cancer cell and enabling the ADC to enter the cancer cell through endocytosis effect; then the bioactive molecule is released in the cancer cell to achieve the effect of specifically killing the cancer cell without damaging normal tissue cells.
  • Lysine is the most common linking site in antibodies, and ε-amino groups thereof can react with activated carboxyl groups of linkers to form amide bonds. Techniques for site-specific coupling are currently available, that is, carboxyl groups of linkers are activated, and then form amide bonds with specific lysine ε-amino groups in antibodies to complete the coupling. However, such amide bonds are prone to hydrolysis under the action of enzymes in vivo, as a result, bioactive molecules and antibodies dissociate before reaching target cells resulted in increasing toxicity while losing targetability of ADCs.
  • Thio groups of antibody cysteine usually exist in the form of disulfide bonds. The disulfide bonds in the antibody can be opened to provide multiple free sulfhydryl groups as coupling sites. One method of coupling with the sulfhydryl groups of the antibody is Michael addition reaction between the free sulfhydryl groups of the antibody and maleimide, or two Michael addition reactions between a specific substrate and free sulfhydryl groups of the antibody to form a sulfur bridge bond in a unique structure. However, many literatures have reported that ADCs obtained by thiol-Michael addition methods will undergo reverse Michael additions in systemic circulation, resulting in toxic reactions. The patent WO2016142049 discloses amatoxins as bioactive molecules, and structure comprising bioactive molecules having the structure of methylsulfonyl-substituted benzobisoxadiazole and linkers, but details of coupling with antibodies are not specifically described.
    • CONTENTS OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention discloses a novel bioactive molecule conjugate, which is obtained by improving the coupling way of the drug and the targeting moiety in an ADC or SMDC. The conjugate has high stability, extremely high coupling efficiency (90%) and high DAR (5-8). The disclosure is based on the above findings. Through intensive research, it was surprisingly found that, the ADC of the invention, e.g. BT001021 (example 32), after intravenous administration, the exposure of the bioactive small molecular toxin in tumor is significantly higher than that in plasma, whereas Immu-132 has significantly higher plasma exposure than tumor exposure under the same administration route. Therefore, the ADC of the invention has a better therapeutic window than Immu-132. We were also surprised that the ADC of the invention has a better efficacy than Immu-132 in animal models of gastric cancer, breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.

  • Unless otherwise specified, all scientific and technical terms used in the disclosure have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Moreover, cell culture, molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry and immunology laboratory procedures used herein are all routine steps widely used in the corresponding art. In addition, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are given below for a better understanding of the disclosure.
  • In the disclosure, the pharmaceutical excipients refer to excipients and additives used in drug manufacturing and formulating, and are substances that have been reasonably evaluated in terms of safety and are contained in pharmaceutical preparations in addition to active ingredients. In addition to being used as excipients, carriers and stability enhancers, pharmaceutical excipients also have important functions such as solubilization, sustained release, and are important ingredients that may affect the quality, safety and efficacy of drugs. Pharmaceutical excipients can be divided by sources into natural substances, semi-synthetic substances and full-synthetic substances; divided by effects and uses into solvents, propellants, solubilizers, cosolvents, emulsifiers, colorants, binders, disintegrants, filling agents, lubricants, wetting agents, osmotic pressure regulators, stabilizers, glidants, flavoring agents, preservatives, suspending agents, coating materials, aromatics, anti-adhesion agents, antioxidants, chelating agents, penetration enhancers, pH regulators, buffers, plasticizers, surfactants, foaming agents, defoamers, thickeners, inclusion agents, humectants, absorbents, diluents, flocculants and deflocculants, filter aids and release retardants; and divided by administration routes into oral administration, injection, mucosal, transdermal or local administration, nasal or oral inhalation and ophthalmic administration.

  • In the disclosure, the term “individual” include a human individual or a non-human animal. Exemplary human individual includes a human individual with a disease (e.g., a disease described herein) (referred to as a patient) or a normal individual. The term “non-human animal” in the disclosure includes all vertebrates, such as a non-mammal (e.g., a bird, an amphibian and a reptile) and a mammal, such as a non-human primate, a domestic animal, and/or a domesticated animal (e.g., a sheep, a dog, a cat, a cow and a pig).
  • In the disclosure, the term “effective amount” refers to the amount of the compound that, after being administered, relieves one or more symptoms of the treated disease to some extent.
  • In the disclosure, the term “conjugate” refers to a substance obtained by linking a bioactive molecule with a targeting moiety. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the bioactive molecule is linked to the targeting moiety via a linker. The linker can be cleaved in a specific environment (e.g., an intracellular low pH environment) or under a specific action (e.g., the action of lysosomal protease), thereby dissociating the bioactive molecule from the target moiety. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the linker comprises cleavable or non-cleavable units, such as a peptide or disulfide bond. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the bioactive molecule is linked directly to the targeting moiety via a covalent bond that can be cleaved under a specific environment or action, thereby dissociating the bioactive molecule from the targeting moiety.
  • In the disclosure, the terms “bioactive substance” and “bioactive molecule” refer to a substance that inhibits or prevents cell functions and/or cause cell death or destruction. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the bioactive substance or bioactive molecule in the conjugate is a molecule with anti-tumor bioactivity. For example: a radioisotope such as At211, I131, I125, Y90, Re186, Re188, Sm153, Bi212, P32, Pb212 or a radioisotope of Lu; a metal complex such as a platinum metal complex, a gold metal complex or oxaliplatin; a glycopeptide antibiotic such as bleomycin or pingyangmycin; a DNA topoisomerase inhibitor such as a topoisomerase I inhibitor, e.g., camptothecin, hydroxycamptothecin, 9-aminocamptothecin, SN-38, irinotecan, topotecan, bellotencian or rubitecan, or a topoisomerase II inhibitor, e.g., actinomycin D, adriamycin, doxorubicin, duocarmycin, daunorubicin, mitoxantrone, podophyllotoxin, etoposide and so on; a drug interfering with DNA synthesis, such as methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, cytarabine, gemcitabine, mercaptopurine, pentostatin, fludarabine, cladribine, narabine and so on; a drug acting on a structural protein, such as a tubulin inhibitor, a vinblastine alkaloid, a vincristine, vinblastine, paclitaxel, docetaxel, cabazitaxel and so on; a tumor cell signaling pathway inhibitor such as a serine/threonine kinase inhibitor, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a aspartokinase inhibitor or a histidine kinase inhibitor and so on; also includes a proteasome inhibitor; a histone deaceylase inhibitor; a tumor angiogenesis inhibitor; a cyclin inhibitor; a maytansine derivative; a calicheamicin derivative; a auristatin derivative; a Pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBD) derivative; melphalan; mitomycin C; chlorambucil; and other active substances which inhibit the growth of tumor cells, promote the apoptosis or necrosis of tumor cells; an enzymes and fragment thereof, such as karyolytic enzyme; an antibiotic; a toxin such as a small molecule toxin or an enzymatically active toxin originated from bacterium, fungus, plants or animals, including fragment and/or variant thereof; a growth inhibitor; and a drug module. The term “toxin” refers to a substance that has deleterious effects on the growth or proliferation of cells.
  • In the disclosure, the term “small molecule” refers to a small molecule drug with bioactivity.
  • In the disclosure, the term “linker” refers to a fragment linking a bioactive molecule with a targeting moiety.
  • In the disclosure, the term “targeting moiety” refers to a moiety of the conjugate that can specifically bind to a target (or a portion of the target) on the cell surface. The conjugate can be delivered to a specific cell population by interaction between the targeting moiety and the target.
  • In the disclosure, the conjugate can be referred to as a “drug-antibody conjugate” when the targeting moiety of the conjugate is an antibody. In the disclosure, the “drug-antibody conjugate” and “immune conjugate” are interchangeable.
  • In the disclosure, the term “antibody” is interpreted in its broadest sense, including a complete monoclonal antibody, polyclonal antibody, and a multispecific antibody (e.g., a bispecific antibody) formed from at least two complete antibodies, provided that the antibody has required bioactivity. In the disclosure, the terms “antibody” and “immunoglobulin” are interchangeable.
  • In the disclosure, the term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody from a group of substantially uniform antibodies, i.e., antibodies that make up the group are identical except for a small number of possible natural mutations. A monoclonal antibody has high specificity for one determinant (epitope) of an antigen, while a comparative polyclonal antibody contains different antibodies for different determinants (epitopes). In addition to specificity, the monoclonal antibody has the advantage of being free from contamination by other antibodies during synthesis. The modifier “monoclonal” here indicates that the antibody is characterized by coming from a substantially uniform antibody group and should not be construed as being prepared by a special method.
  • In some embodiments of the disclosure, the monoclonal antibody also specifically includes a chimeric antibody, i.e., a portion of a heavy chain and/or a light chain is the same as or homologous to a type, a class, or a subclass of antibodies, while the rest is the same as or homologous to another type, another class, or another subclass of antibodies, provided the antibody has required bioactivity (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Morrison et al., 1984, PNAS, 81: 6851-6855). The chimeric antibody available in the disclosure includes a primatized antibody containing a variable region antigen binding sequence from a non-human primate (e.g., an ancient monkey or an orangutan) and a human constant region sequence.
  • The term “antibody fragment” refers to a portion of the antibody, preferably an antigen binding region or a variable region. Examples of antibody fragment includes Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2, Fd, Fv, dAb and complementary determinant fragment, diabody, linear antibody and single chain antibody molecule.
  • The term “bispecific antibody”, also known as “bifunctional antibody conjugate”, refers to a conjugate formed by a first antibody (fragment) and a second antibody (fragment) through a coupling arm. The conjugate retains the activity of each antibody and thus has bifunctional and bispecific properties.
  • The term “multispecific antibody” includes, for example, a trispecific antibody which is an antibody having three different antigen binding specificities, and a tetraspecific antibody which is an antibody having four different antigen binding specificities.
  • The term “complete antibody” refers to an antibody containing an antigen binding variable region, a light chain constant region (CL) and heavy chain constant regions (CH1, CH2 and CH3). The constant regions can be natural sequences (e.g., human natural constant region sequences) or amino acid sequence variants thereof. The complete antibody is preferably a complete antibody having one or more effector functions.
  • The term “probody” is a modified antibody comprising an antibody or antibody fragment that can specifically bind to a target thereof and can be coupled with a masked group, and the masked group here refers that the cleavage constant for the binding capacity of the antibody or antibody fragment to the target is at least 100 times or 1000 times or 10000 times greater than that for the binding capacity of an antibody or antibody fragment not coupled with a masked group to a target thereof.
  • In the disclosure, a “humanized” form of a non-human (e.g., mouse) antibody refers to a chimeric antibody that contains minimal non-human immunoglobulin sequences. Most of the humanized antibodies are those in which residues in hypervariable regions of human recipient immunoglobulins are substituted with residues in non-human (e.g., mice, rats, rabbits or non-human primates) hypervariable regions (donor antibodies) with required specificity, affinity and functions. In some embodiments, residues in frame regions (FRs) of human immunoglobulins are also substituted with non-human residues. Furthermore, the humanized antibody can also contain residues not present in recipient antibodies or donor antibodies. Such modifications are made to further optimize antibody performance. A humanized antibody generally contains at least one variable region, typically two variable regions, in which all or almost all hypervanable loops correspond to non-human immunoglobulins, while all or almost all FRs are those of human immunoglobulin sequences. A humanized antibody can also contain at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc, usually human immunoglobulin Fc). For details, see, for example, Jones et al., 1986, Nature, 321: 522-525; Riechmann et al., 1988, Nature, 332: 323-329; and Presta, 1992, Curr Op Struct Bwl 2: 593-596.
  • Complete antibody can be classified into different “classes” according to amino acid sequences of heavy chain constant regions. The main five classes are IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM, and several of which can also be further classified into different “subclasses” (isotypes), such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2. Different classes of heavy chain constant regions of antibodies are called α, β, ε, γ and μ respectively. Different classes of subunit structures and 3D configurations of immunoglobulins are well known in the art.
  • In the disclosure, although amino acid substitutions in antibodies are substituted with L-amino acids in most cases, the embodiments are not limited thereto. In some embodiments, an antibody peptide chain can contain one or more D-amino acids. Peptides containing D-amino acids may be more stable and less degradable in oral cavity, intestinal tract or plasma than peptides containing only L-amino acids.
  • Monoclonal antibody used in the disclosure can be produced by multiple methods. For example, the monoclonal antibody used in the disclosure can be obtained by hybridoma methods using multiple species (including cells of mice, hamsters, rats and humans) (see, for example, Kohler et al., 1975, Nature, 256: 495), or by recombinant DNA techniques (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567), or isolated from phage antibody libraries (see, for example, Clackson et al., 1991, Nature, 352: 624-628; and Marks et al., 1991, Journal of Molecular Biology, 222: 581-597). Monoclonal antibody that can be used in the disclosure includes, but is not limited to anti-Her 2 monoclonal antibody such as Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab, or anti-Trop-2 monoclonal antibody such as Sacituzumab (i.e., Isactuzumab or hRS7 antibody), M1, M2 or M3.

  • Tumor-bearing mice (4 mice/group) with tumor volume of 100-200 mm3 were randomly grouped (the number of groups was determined according to sample number), and the administration route was single tail intravenous injection.
  • Experimental Methods:
  • NCI-N87 cells were cultured in a 1640 culture medium containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum at 37° C. and 5% CO2. NCI-N87 cells in the exponential growth stage were collected, resuspended in PBS to a suitable concentration, and inoculated subcutaneously into Balb/c-nu mice to construct an xenograft model of lung cancer. When the mean tumor volume was about 100-200 mm3, the mice were randomly grouped into a BT001021 (5 mg/kg, IV, single dose) group and an Immu-132 (5 mg/kg, IV, single dose) group according to the tumor size, followed by tail intravenous injection of corresponding drugs. Serum and tumor tissues were collected at 2h, 24h, 48h and 72h after administration respectively to test the concentration of the T-030 or SN-38 in the serum and tumors by LC-MS/MS.
