Description

一种三齿型连接子及其应用
技术领域
本发明涉及应用抗体药物偶联物治疗肿瘤或其它疾病, 尤其涉及应用一种特殊的三齿型 连接子来制备抗体药物偶联物以控制药物 /抗体比值 (DAR ) 。
背景技术
作为新型的靶向治疗药物,抗体药物偶联物( A D C )开创了肿瘤治疗方法的新纪元 ( C art e r 等, 2008 , Cancer J. 14: 154- 169; Chari等, 2008 , Acc. Chem. Res. 41: 98- 107; Senter等, 2009 , Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol. 13: 235-244; Teicher 等, 2009 , Curr. Cancer Drug Targets 9: 982- 1004; Ducry等, 2010 , Bioconjugate Chem. 21: 5- 13 ; Lash等, 2010 , In vivo: The Business & Medicine Report 32-38; Casi等, 2012, J. Control. Rel. 161: 422-428)。 在美国的西雅图基 因公司(Seattle Genetics, Inc.)和免疫原公司 (ImmunoGen, Inc. ) 引领下, 很多跨国制药企业和 初创公司都开展了这一领域的研发。 据美国华尔街报告披露, 截止 201 1 年 5 月, 总计有 36 个 ADC项目进入临床前和临床阶段。 201 1 年 8 月美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA ) 批准西 雅图基因公司研制的用于治疗霍奇金淋巴瘤以及复发性间变性大细胞淋巴瘤 (ALCL)的新药 Adcetris™上市(Katz 等, 201 1, Clin. Cancer Res. 17: 6428-6436)„ 健泰科生物技术公司 (Genentech)研制的用于治疗乳腺癌的新药 T-DM 1 正在进行三期临床试验并取得了满意的效 果,有可能于 2013年初获得 FDA批准上市 (1\^1^等,201 1,( . Opin. Oncol. 23 : 594-600)。
抗体药物偶联物一般由三部分组成: 抗体或抗体类配体, 小分子药物, 和将配体与药物 偶联起来的连接子。 抗体药物偶联物的作用机制如下: 抗体或抗体类配体特异性地识别细胞 表面抗原并与之结合; 形成的结合物以内吞的方式进入细胞内, 同时将小分子药物带入细胞; 抗体被酶解或连接子自身断裂, 小分子药物以适当的活性成分形式释放出来, 杀死目标细胞。 抗体药物偶联物采用的小分子细胞毒性药物活性非常高, 通常比目前在一线应用的化疗药物 活性高 10- 1000 倍以上。 用于抗体药物偶联物的细胞毒性药物主要包括美登素类
(Maytansinoids,EP 0425235; US 5208020, 5416064; 7276497, 7473796, 7851432; US 2007/0269447, 201 1/0158991 ; WO 2004/103272, 2012/061590) , 耳抑素肽类 (Auristatins, US 6884869, 7498298) , 卡奇霉素类 (Calicheamicins, US 5606040, 5770710) , 阿霉素类 (Doxorubicins, Dubowchik等, 2002 , Bioconjugate Chem. 13: 855-869) , 苯并二吡咯类抗生素 类(duocarmycins 和 CC- 1065 类, US 7129261), 以及吡咯并苯二氮卓二聚体类 (PBD dimers, WO 2005/040170)等。抗体药物偶联物采用的连接子需满足以下要求: 在细胞外具有足够的稳 定性, 保证小分子药物不与配体脱离; 进入细胞后, 可断裂的连接子在适当条件下断裂, 释 放出活性小分子药物; 对于不可断裂的连接子, 活性成分则由小分子, 连接子, 以及由配体 酶解产生的氨基酸残基构成。
目前进入临床试验的抗体药物偶联物结构中, 高活性的细胞毒性药物通常是通过连接子 连接在配体表面的赖氨酸残基, 或者抗体铰链区域的半胱氨酸残基 (由链间二硫键部分还原 得到) 上,最佳的药物 /配体比值 (DAR ) 为 2-4。 抗体表面大量的赖氨酸残基 (超过 80 个) 以及偶联反应的非选择性, 导致偶联数目和位点的不确定性, 进而导致生成的抗体药物偶联 物的不均一性。 例如, T-DM 1 (平均 DAR值为 3.5 ) 的 DAR值分布为 0-8 (Lazar等, 2005, Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom. 19: 1806- 1814)。 同样, 尽管抗体铰链区的链间二硫键只有四 对, 但为达到最佳平均 DAR值 (2-4 ) 的要求, 需要部分还原链间二硫键 (Sun等, 2005, Bioconjugate Chem. 16: 1282- 1290)。 由于现有的还原剂 (DTT, TCEP等)无法选择性地还原链 间二硫键, 因此生成的偶联物也不是均一的产物, 由多种组分组成, 其主要组分的 DAR值为 0,2,4,6,8 , 而且对应每一种特定 DAR值的组分都存在由于连接位点不同而形成的异构体。 抗 体药物偶联物产品的不均一性可以导致各成员组分间药物动力学性质, 效价以及毒性的不均 一性。 例如, 具有较高 DAR值的组分在体内被清除得更快, 并导致更高的毒性 (Boswell等, 201 1 , Bioconjugate Chem. 22: 1994-2004)。
为了解决抗体药物偶联物均一性问题, 定点偶联技术近来得到了更多的青睐, 这一技术 从位点和数量两方面来控制抗体药物之间的偶联。 西雅图基因公司选择性地用丝氨酸部分置 换组成链间二硫键的半胱氨酸, 从而将可用于偶联的位点从 8 个降低到 4 个或 2 个 (W0 2006/065533 ; Mcdonagh等, 2006, Protein Eng. Des. Sel. 19: 299-307)。 这样得到的具有确定 位点和 D A R值的抗体药物偶联物,与从不均一偶联物中分离出来的具有同样 D A R值的组分, 表现出同样的体外和体内特性, 包括抗肿瘤活性, 药物动力学, 和最大耐受量。 应用噬菌体 展示技术预测合宜的偶联位点, 健泰科公司通过重组的方式在抗体的轻链和重链上引入半胱 氨酸, 在不影响抗体蛋白折叠组装和改变与抗原结合力的前提下, 提供可用于偶联的巯基基 团 (US 7855275; US 201 1/0301334; WO 2008/141044, 2009/052249; Junutula等, 2008, Nat. Biotechnol. 26: 925-933 ; Junutula等, 2010, Clin. Cancer Res. 16 : 4769-4778)。 应用此项技术 生产的抗体药物偶联物表现出令人满意的近均一组分具有的体内特性。 与上述技术不同的 是, Ambrx (WO 2006/069246, 2007/0593 12) , Allozyne (US 2008/0096819; WO 2007/130453, 2009/026393) , Sutro (WO 2010/081 1 10) , 以及 Redwood (US 2010/0210543) 等公司都采用非 天然氨基酸抗体 /蛋白改造技术, 在抗体 /蛋白的合宜位点引入带有可偶联基团的非天然氨基 酸, 从而实现抗体 /蛋白的定点修饰, 包括聚乙二醇修饰, 糖基化修饰, 以及抗体药物偶联物。 尽管以上技术都能够实现偶联药物位点和数量的可控, 所应用的抗体 /蛋白都是通过基因重组 的方式得到的。 基因重组技术需要大量的工作和精巧的设计, 以寻找合宜的位点供药物偶联 或聚乙二醇修饰, 因此非常耗时而且研发费用较高。
针对以上偶联技术存在的问题,通过简单的化学方法实现定点偶联目的会节省大量的人 力物力财力, 因此更加富有吸引力。 一种平衡转移垸基化交叉偶联试剂 (ETAC ) 被开发用于 定点偶联技术, 该试剂可与铰链区二硫键完全还原 /部分还原成巯基的抗体反应, 生成链间交 叉偶联的结构 (Liberatore等, Bioconjugate Chem. 1 : 36-50; del Rosario等, 1990 , Bioconjugate Chem. 1: 51 -59)。 交叉偶联的产品不仅收率较低 (30 %左右) , 而且均一性较差, 含有 0到 4组链间交叉偶联的组分。韩国的 LegoChem Biosciences (LCB)公司报道了一种定点偶联技术, 包括定点功能化步骤和正交药物偶联步骤, 但是技术的细节并没有披露 (BioSpectrum, 2012, 39)。
因此, 本领域迫切需要提供高效、 简单、 实用的化学偶联方法。 发明内容

(Lin Drug) (Antibody-Drug Conjugate)
所产生的抗体药物偶联物可用于靶向输送药物到达目标细胞群体, 例如肿瘤细胞。 抗体 药物偶联物可以特异性的与细胞表面蛋白结合, 所产生的结合物随即被细胞内吞。 在细胞内, 药物以活性药物的方式释放出来产生功效。 抗体包括嵌合抗体, 人源化抗体, 人抗体; 可与 抗原结合的抗体片段; 或者抗体 Fc融合蛋白; 或者蛋白。 药物是高活性药物, 包括, 但不局 限于, 美登素类 (Maytansinoids ), 耳抑素肽类 (Auristatins), 卡奇霉素类 (Calicheamicins), 阿霉素类 (doxorubicins) , 苯并二吡咯类抗生素类 (Duocarmycins and CC- 1065), 吡咯并苯二 氮卓二聚体类 (PBDs)等。 在某种情况下, 药物可以是聚乙二醇。 药物或药物-连接子单元通 过三齿型连接子与抗体偶联, 生成部分链间交联的偶联物。 与传统的抗体药物偶联物相比, 应用本发明方法制备的抗体药物偶联物的药物 /抗体比值 (DAR ) 分布更窄, 从而大幅提升了 产品均一性及药理学特性均一性。 定义
如本文所用, "抗体 " 或 "抗体单元" 在其所属的范围内, 包括抗体结构的任何部分。 这一单元可以结合, 反应性关联, 或者络合一个受体, 抗原, 或者靶向细胞群体具有的其他 受体单元。 抗体可以是任何蛋白或蛋白类分子, 它可以结合, 络合, 或者与待治疗或生物 改造的细胞群体的一部分发生反应。
本发明中组成抗体药物偶联物的抗体最好保持其原有野生状态时的抗原结合能力。 因 此, 本发明中的抗体能够, 最好专一性地, 与抗原结合。 涉及的抗原包括, 例如, 肿瘤相关 抗原 (TAA ) , 细胞表面受体蛋白和其他细胞表面分子, 细胞存活调节因子, 细胞增殖调节 因子, 与组织生长与分化相关的分子 (如已知或预知的具有功能性的) , 淋巴因子, 细胞因 子, 参与细胞循环调节的分子, 参与血管生成的分子, 以及与血管生成有关的分子 (如已知 或预知的具有功能性的) 。 肿瘤相关因子可以是簇分化因子 (如 CD 蛋白) 。 与本发明中所 述抗体结合的抗原可以是上述分类中一个或一个子集, 而其它的子集则包含其它的具有特殊 性质的分子 /抗原 (与目标抗原相比) 。

肿瘤相关抗原包括, 但不局限于, 以下列出的肿瘤相关抗原 (1) - (36) 。 为方便起见, 为业内所熟知的抗原相关信息标示如下, 包括名称, 其它名称, 基因库登录号。 与肿瘤相关 抗原对应的核酸和蛋白序列可参见公开数据库, 例如 Genbank。 抗体靶向对应的肿瘤相关抗 原包括所有的氨基酸序列变种和同种, 与参考文献中确认的序列具有至少 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 或 95%的同源性, 或者具备与引用文献中的肿瘤相关抗原序列具有完全一致的生物性 质和特征。

较佳地, 药物是指: 一种用于癌症治疗的细胞毒性药物; 一种具有期望生物活性的蛋白 或多肽, 例如一种毒素, 如相思子毒素, 蓖麻毒素 A, 假单胞菌外毒素, 和白喉毒素; 其他 合适的蛋白包括肿瘤坏死因子, α-干扰素, β-干扰素, 神经原生长因子, 血小板衍生生长因 子,组织型纤酶溶原生长因子,以及生物反应调节制剂,例如淋巴因子, 白细胞介素 - 1 ( IL- 1 ) , 白细胞介素 -2 ( IL-2 ) , 白细胞介素 -6 ( IL-6 ) , 粒细胞巨噬细胞集落刺激因子 (GM-CSF ), 粒细胞集落刺激因子, 或其它生长因子。
一方面, 药物是美登素或类美登素。 美登素化合物通过抑制微管蛋白的微管形成来抑制 细胞增殖 (Temillard et al ( 1975) Science 189: 1002- 1005; U.S. Pat. No. 5,208,020)。 类美登素 是美登素的衍生物。 美登素和类美登素都具有高效的细胞毒性, 但是它们在癌症治疗的临床 应用上具有很大的局限性, 这主要是源于此类分子对肿瘤的低选择性。 但是, 这种高细胞毒 性促使它们成为抗体药物偶联物的首选药物部分。 以下列出了美登素, 类美登素, 以及在抗 体药
Figure imgf000013_0001

合成类美登素的主要原料是美登醇, 主要由安丝菌素水解得到。 安丝菌素可以通过发酵 的方式制备。 安丝菌素衍生物 (WO 2012/061590 ) 和丙氨酰基美登醇 (US 2012/0121615 ) 据报道也可作为抗体药物偶联物的药物 "弹头" (这两类分子结构见下式所示) 。
Figure imgf000014_0001
Ansamitocin derivatives Alaninyl may ansinol 一方面, 药物是耳抑素肽类药物。 耳抑素肽类药物是海兔毒素 10 ( Dolastatin 10 ) 的类 似物,而后者是从海洋软体动物海兔体内分离出来的具有生物活性的多肽( U S 7498298 )。 海 兔毒素 10通过结合微管蛋白 (与长春新碱同样的结合区域) 而抑制微管蛋白聚合。 海兔毒素 10, 耳抑素肽 PE, 耳抑素肽 E都是线性多肽, 含有四个氨基酸 (其中三个氨基酸是海兔毒素 类化合物所独有的) 和 C-端酰胺基团。 两个代表性的耳抑素肽类化合物, 单甲基耳抑素肽 E (MMAE 基耳抑素肽 F (MMAF) , 都是抗体药物偶联物的首选药物部分。
Figure imgf000014_0002
一方面, 药物是卡奇霉素类药物。 卡奇霉素类药物是抗肿瘤抗生素, 通过结合 DNA小沟 并促使特定位点双螺旋 DNA断裂, 而导致细胞凋亡。卡奇霉素类药物具有体外亚皮克摩尔级 别的高活性, 但是它们的低治疗指数排除了临床应用前景。 然而这种高活性却是它们成为抗 体药 uzumab Ozogamicin ) 。
Figure imgf000014_0003
一方面, 药物是阿霉素类。 阿霉素能够嵌入 DNA双螺旋结构从而阻断 DNA复制, 因此 被用作化疗药物。 但是由于阿霉素类较低的细胞毒性 (针对人源癌细胞系, 半数抑制浓度为 0.1 -0.2 微摩尔, 而用于抗体药物偶联物的细胞毒性药物活性通常为亚纳摩尔级) , 导致其在 抗体 并不普遍。
Figure imgf000014_0004
doxorubicin 一方面, 药物是苯并二吡咯类抗生素 (duocarmycins, CC- 1065等) 和其它的环丙基吡咯 吲哚 -4-酮 ( cyclopropapyrroloind-4-one, CPI ) 衍生物。 这类化合物是有效的 DNA小沟结合- 垸基化试剂。 环丙苯并吲哚 -4-酮 (cyclopropabenzindol-4-one, CBI ) 类似物的化学结构更稳 定, 生物活性更高, 而且与它们含有天然 CPI垸基化亚基的父系化合物相比更容易合成。 一 个代表性的 CBI衍生物是酚羟基保护衍生物 CBI (见下式), 具有弱化的前药毒性和增强的水 溶性。
Figure imgf000015_0001
一方面, 药物是吡咯并苯二氮卓类(pyrrolo[2,l -c] [ l,4]benzodi-azepines, PBDs)或者 PBD 二聚体类 (PBD dimerS)。 PBD 是一类由链霉菌产生的天然产物,其独特特性在于能够在 DNA 小沟, 确切是在嘌呤-鸟嘌呤-嘌呤序列处, 形成非扭曲的共价加和物。 应用 PBD作为部分小 分子策略靶向锁定 DNA 序列以及作为新型的抗癌和抗菌药物引起了越来越多的兴趣 (Antonow等, 2008, Biochemistry 47: 1 1818- 1 1829)。 应用一个柔性碳链连接两个 PBD单元的 C8/C8 ' 的羟基基团, 所得的二聚体具有增强的生物活性 (WO 201 1/130616 ) 。 PBD二聚体 被认为是可以产成序列选择性的 DNA损伤, 例如倒序的 5'-Pu-GATC-Py-3 ' 链间交联, 从而 导致其生物活性。 这些化合物已被证明是高效的细胞毒性药物, 可作为抗体药物偶联物的备 选药物。
Figure imgf000015_0002
另一方面, 药物并不仅仅局限于上述提到的类别, 还包括所有可用于抗体药物偶联物的 药物。 按照在细胞内药物释放的机制, 如本文所用, "连接子"或 "抗体药物偶联物的连接子" 可被分为两类: 不可断裂连接子和可断裂连接子。
对于含有不可断裂连接子的抗体药物偶联物, 其药物释放机制为: 偶联物与抗原结合并 被细胞内吞后, 抗体在溶酶体中被酶解, 释放出由小分子药物, 连接子, 和抗体氨基酸残基 共同组成的活性分子。 由此带来的药物分子结构改变并不减弱其细胞毒性, 但由于活性分子 是带电荷的 (氨基酸残基) , 从而导致其不能渗入邻近细胞。 因此, 此类活性药物不能杀死 邻近不表达靶向抗原(抗原阴性细胞)的肿瘤细胞(旁观者效应, bystander effect ) ( Ducry 等, 2010 , Bioconjugate Chem. 21 :5- 13 ) 。
可断裂连接子,顾名思义,可以在目标细胞内断裂并释放出活性药物(小分子药物本身)。 可断裂连接子可分为两个主要的类别: 化学不稳定连接子和酶不稳定连接子。
化学不稳定连接子可以由于血桨和细胞质性质的不同而选择性的断裂。 这样的性质包括 pH 值, 谷胱甘肽浓度等。
对 pH 值敏感的连接子, 通常又称为酸断裂连接子。 这样的连接子在血液的中性环境下 相对稳定 (pH 7.3-7.5 ) , 但是在弱酸性的内涵体 (pH 5.0-6.5 ) 和溶酶体 (pH 4.5-5.0 ) 内将 会被水解。 第一代的抗体药物偶联物大多应用这类连接子, 例如腙, 碳酸酯, 缩醛, 缩酮类。 由于酸断裂连接子有限的血桨稳定性, 基于此类连接子的抗体药物偶联物通常具有较短的半 衰期 (2-3天) 。 这种较短的半衰期在一定程度上限制了 pH敏感连接子在新一代抗体药物偶 联物中的应用。
对于谷胱甘肽敏感的连接子, 又称二硫键连接子。 药物释放是基于细胞内谷胱甘肽的高 浓度 (毫摩尔范围) 与血液中相对较低的谷胱甘肽浓度 (微摩尔范围) 差异引起的。 对于肿 瘤细胞而言尤其如此, 其低含氧量导致还原酶的活性增强, 因而导致更高的谷胱甘肽浓度。 二硫键具有热力学稳定性, 因此在血桨中具有较好的稳定性。
酶不稳定连接子, 如肽连接子, 能够更好地控制药物释放。 肽连接子能够被溶酶体内蛋 白酶, 如组织蛋白酶 (Cathepsin B ) 或纤溶酶 (在一些肿瘤组织中此类酶含量增加) , 有效 地切断。 这种肽连接被认为在血桨循环中非常稳定, 这是因为细胞外不合宜的 pH 值及血清 蛋白酶抑制剂导致蛋白酶通常在细胞外不具备活性。 鉴于较高的血桨稳定性和良好的细胞内 断裂选择性和有效性, 酶不稳定连接子被广泛用做抗体药物偶联物的可断裂连接子。 典型的 酶不稳定连接子包括 Val-Cit(VC),Phe-LyS等。
自杀式连接子一般嵌合在可断裂连接子与活性药物之间,或者本身就是可断裂连接子的 一部分。 自杀式连接子的作用机制是: 当可断裂连接子在合宜的条件下断裂后, 自杀式连接 子能够自发地进行结构重排, 进而释放与之连接的活性药物。 常见的自杀式连接子包括对氨 基苄醇类 (PAB ) 和 β-葡萄糖醛酸苷类 (β-Glucuronide ) 等。 抗体药物偶联物
本发明提供的抗体药物偶联物由抗体、 三齿型连接子、 连接子和药物组成, 所述连接子是可 断裂连接子组合或不可断裂连接子。
抗体是球状蛋白, 含有一系列氨基酸位点可用于偶联药物-连接子。 由于其三级和四级结 构, 只有溶剂可及的氨基酸可供偶联。 事实上, 高收率的偶联通常发生在赖氨酸残基的 ε-氨 基基团或半胱氨酸残基的巯基基团上。
抗体蛋白表面的大量赖氨酸侧链导致大量的位点可供药物偶联, 从而导致生成的抗体药 物偶联物是混合物, 含有不同的药物偶联数量 (药物 /抗体比值, DAR ) 和偶联位点。
本发明提供的偶联产品, 尽管仍然是混合物, 但与传统方式偶联得到的抗体药物偶联物 相比, 其 DAR分布范围很窄。 其平均 DAR值接近 4, 接近最佳抗体药物偶联物平均 DAR值 ( 2-4 ) 范围。 此外, 偶联产品不含有裸抗 (DAR = 0 ) , 这一组分对细胞毒杀不起作用。 同 时, 偶联产品也不含有重度偶联产品 (DAR = 8 ) , 这一组分在体内的清除速度很快, 相对于 低 DAR的组分而言。 因此, 本发明提供的抗体药物偶联物产品非均一性得到很大的改善。 对于三齿型连接子而言, 两个马来酰胺基团之间的距离 (简称连接子尺寸) 可能会直接 影响三齿型连接子对抗体链间交联的效率。 发明人合成了一系列具有不同尺寸的三齿型连接 子, 以及三齿型连接子的简化模式 (双齿型连接子, 不包含与药物偶联的基团) 。 将这些连 接子与还原后的抗体反应, 所得的偶联物通过聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳 (SDS-PAGE ) 和疏水作 用色谱 (HIC ) 分析, 以考察连接子尺寸对抗体链间交联的影响。 三齿连接子及二齿连接子
