TNIK MODULATORS, CONJUGATES, AND USES THEREOF
RELATED APPLICATION INFORMATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/573,616 filed October 17, 2017 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/643,060 filed March 14, 2018, the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] One of the leading causes of death in the United States is cancer. The conventional methods of cancer treatment, like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy, tend to be either highly toxic or nonspecific to a cancer, or both, resulting in limited efficacy and harmful side effects. However, the immune system has the potential to be a powerful, specific tool in fighting cancers. In many cases tumors can specifically express genes whose products are required for inducing or maintaining the malignant state. These proteins may serve as antigen markers for the development and establishment of more specific anti-cancer immune response. The boosting of this specific immune response has the potential to be a powerful anti-cancer treatment that can be more effective than conventional methods of cancer treatment and can have fewer side effects.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present disclosure provides compounds and conjugates, protein targeting modules, and formulations comprising the same, as well as methods of using these compositions in the treatment of patients including cancer patients.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a compound represented by Formula

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012] The novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. A better understanding of the features and advantages of the present invention will be obtained by reference to the following detailed description that sets forth illustrative
embodiments, in which the principles of the invention are utilized, and the accompanying drawings (also "Figure" and "FIG." herein), of which:
[0013] FIG. 1 shows activity for selected compounds.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described herein, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Numerous variations, changes, and substitutions will now occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the invention described herein may be employed in practicing the invention. It is intended that the following claims define the scope of the invention and that methods and structures within the scope of these claims and their equivalents be covered thereby.
[0015] The present disclosure provides compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for use in the treatment of disease. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure are TNIK modulators. In certain embodiments, the compounds are TNIK inhibitors.
[0016] TNIK (TRAF2 and NCK Interacting Kinase) is a germinal center kinase that interacts with, among other things, TCF transciption factors. The TCF/LEF family of transcription factors bind to DNA and form a complex with the signalling molecule β-catenin in the cell nucleus. Stabilized β-catenin subsequently acts as a transcriptional co-activator to switch on Wnt target genes that contribute to, for example, cell proliferation. Mutations in Wnt signaling pathways have been implicated in a variety of cancers. TNIK interacts with both β-catenin and TCF4 to drive transcriptional activation of Wnt target genes. Inhibition of TNIK prevents Wnt3a mediated IL-10 production in monocytes. Accordingly, TNIK inhibitors provide an
immunomodulatory effect. Such modulators may be useful in the treatment of certain diseases in which immune modulation is desired.
[0017] The compounds of the present disclosure may act as TNIK inhibitors. The
compounds, salts thereof, and conjugates of the present disclosure may be useful for treatment and/or prevention, e.g., vaccination, of cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, sepsis, allergy, asthma, graft rejection, graft-versus-host disease, immunodeficiencies, and infectious diseases.
[0018] In certain embodiments, the compounds, salts, and conjugates have utility in the treatment of cancer either as single agents or in combination therapy. In certain embodiments, the compounds, salts, and conjugates have utility as single agent immunomodulators, vaccine adjuvants and in combination with conventional cancer therapies. In certain embodiments, the compounds and salts are incorporated into a conjugate that can be utilized, for example, to enhance an immune response. In certain embodiments, the disclosure provides conjugates including a compound or salt described herein and an antibody construct.
Definitions
[0019] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
[0020] As used in the specification and claims, the singular form "a", "an" and "the" includes plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. [0021] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that specifically binds to, or is immunologically reactive toward, a specific antigen. Antibody can include, for example, polyclonal, monoclonal, genetically engineered, and antigen binding fragments thereof. An antibody can be, for example, murine, chimeric, humanized,
heteroconjugate, bispecific, a diabody, a triabody, or a tetrabody. The antigen binding fragment can include, for example, Fab', F(ab')2, Fab, Fv, rlgG, and scFv.
[0022] As used herein, the abbreviations for the natural L-enantiomeric amino acids are conventional and can be as follows: alanine (A, Ala); arginine (R, Arg); asparagine (N, Asn); aspartic acid (D, Asp); cysteine (C, Cys); glutamic acid (E, Glu); glutamine (Q, Gin); glycine (G, Gly); histidine (H, His); isoleucine (I, He); leucine (L, Leu); lysine (K, Lys); methionine (M, Met); phenylalanine (F, Phe); proline (P, Pro); serine (S, Ser); threonine (T, Thr); tryptophan (W, Tip); tyrosine (Y, Tyr); and valine (V, Val). Unless otherwise specified, X can indicate any amino acid. In some embodiments, X can be asparagine (N), glutamine (Q), histidine (H), lysine (K), or arginine (R).
[0023] The term "targeting moiety" refers to a structure that has a selective affinity for a target molecule relative to other non-target molecules. The targeting moiety binds to a target molecule. A targeting moiety may include, for example, an antibody, a peptide, a ligand, a receptor, or a binding portion thereof. The target molecule may be a biological receptor or other structure of a cell such as a tumor antigen.
[0024] As used herein, an "antigen binding domain" refers to a region of a molecule that binds to an antigen. An antigen binding domain may be a domain that can specifically bind to an antigen. An antigen binding domain can be an antigen-binding portion of an antibody or an antibody fragment. An antigen binding domain can be one or more fragments of an antibody that can retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. An antigen binding domain can be an antigen binding fragment. An antigen binding domain can recognize a single antigen.
[0025] As used herein, an "antibody construct" refers to a molecule, e.g., a protein, peptide, antibody or portion thereof, that contains an antigen binding domain and an Fc domain. An antibody construct can recognize, for example, multiple antigens.
[0026] As used herein, a "Fc domain" can be an Fc domain from an antibody or from a non- antibody that can bind to an Fc receptor.
[0027] As used herein, an "Fc null" refers to an Fc domain that exhibits weak to no binding to any of the Fcgamma receptors. In some embodiments, an Fc null domain or region exhibits a reduction in binding affinity (e.g., increase in Kd) to Fc gamma receptors of at least 1000-fold. [0028] "Conjugate", as used herein, refers to an antibody construct that is linked (e.g., conjugated) either directly or through a linker to a compound, e.g., a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), or (IIIc).
[0029] As used herein, an "Fc domain" can be an Fc domain from an antibody or from a non- antibody that can bind to an Fc receptor.
[0030] As used herein, "recognize" and "specifically bind" with regard to antibody or antibody construct interactions refer to the specific association or binding between an antigen binding domain of an antibody or portion thereof and an antigen, as compared with the binding of the antibody or antibody construct to a non-antigen.
[0031] As used herein, a "target binding domain" refers to a construct that contains an antigen binding domain from an antibody or from a non-antibody that can specifically bind to the antigen.
[0032] As used herein, a "tumor antigen" is an antigenic substance associated with a tumor or cancer cell, and can trigger an immune response in a host.
[0033] The term "salt" or "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts derived from a variety of organic and inorganic counter ions well known in the art. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be formed with inorganic acids and organic acids. Inorganic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Organic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, ^-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be formed with inorganic and organic bases. Inorganic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum, and the like. Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, basic ion exchange resins, and the like, specifically such as isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropyl amine, and ethanolamine. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt is chosen from ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium salts.
[0034] The term "Cx-y" when used in conjunction with a chemical moiety such as alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl is meant to include groups that contain from x to y carbons in the chain. For example, the term "Ci-6 alkyl" refers to substituted or unsubstituted saturated hydrocarbon groups, including straight-chain alkyl and branched-chain alkyl groups that contain from 1 to 6 carbons. The term -Cx-y alkylene- refers to a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene chain with from x to y carbons in the alkylene chain.

[0061] In certain embodiments, a compound or salt of the disclosure, e.g., a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), or (IIIc), may be referred to herein as a drug, D, a heterocyclic compound, or a payload, particularly when referenced as part of a conjugate. "LP", "linker-payload", "D-L3", or "compound-linker" may be used herein to refer to a compound or salt of the disclosure bound to a linker.
[0062] An antibody construct may contain, for example, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more antigen binding domains. An antibody construct may contain two antigen binding domains in which each antigen binding domain can recognize the same antigen. An antibody construct may contain two antigen binding domains in which each antigen binding domain can recognize different antigens. An antigen binding domain may be in a scaffold, in which a scaffold is a supporting framework for the antigen binding domain. An antigen binding domain may be in a non-antibody scaffold. An antigen binding domain may be in an antibody scaffold. An antibody construct may include an antigen binding domain in a scaffold. The antibody construct may include an Fc fusion protein. In some embodiments, the antibody construct is an Fc fusion protein. An antigen binding domain may specifically bind to a tumor antigen. An antigen binding domain may specifically bind to an antigen that is at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100% homologous to a tumor antigen. An antigen binding domain may specifically bind to an antigen on an antigen presenting cell (APC). An antigen binding domain may specifically bind to an antigen that is at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%), at least 99%, or 100% homologous to an antigen on an immune cell, such as an antigen presenting cell (APC).
[0063] An antigen binding domain of an antibody may include one or more light chain (LC) CDRs and one or more heavy chain (HC) CDRs. For example, an antibody binding domain of an antibody may include one or more of the following: a light chain complementary determining region 1 (LC CDRl), a light chain complementary determining region 2 (LC CDR2), or a light chain complementary determining region 3 (LC CDR3). For another example, an antibody binding domain may include one or more of the following: a heavy chain complementary determining region 1 (HC CDRl), a heavy chain complementary determining region 2 (HC CDR2), or a heavy chain complementary determining region 3 (HC CDR3). As an additional example, an antibody binding domain of an antibody may include one or more of the following: LC CDRl, LC CDR2, LC CDR3, HC CDRl, HC CDR2, and HC CDR3. In some embodiments, an antibody binding domain of an antibody includes LC CDRl, LC CDR2, LC CDR3, HC CDRl, HC CDR2, and HC CDR3.
[0064] The antigen binding domain of an antibody construct may be selected from any domain that binds the antigen including, but not limited to, from a monoclonal antibody, a polyclonal antibody, a recombinant antibody, or an antigen binding fragment thereof, for example, a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a light chain variable domain (VL), a DARPin, an affimer, an avimer, a knottin, a monobody, an affinity clamp, an ectodomain, a receptor ectodomain, a receptor, a T cell receptor, or a recombinant T cell receptor.
[0065] The antigen binding domain of an antibody construct may be at least 80% homologous to an antigen binding domain selected from, but not limited to, a monoclonal antibody, a polyclonal antibody, a recombinant antibody, or a functional fragment thereof, for example, a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a light chain variable domain (VL), a DARPin, an affimer, an avimer, a knottin, a monobody, an affinity clamp, an ectodomain, a receptor ectodomain, a receptor, a cytokine, a ligand, an immunocytokine, a T cell receptor, or a recombinant T cell receptor.
[0066] In certain embodiments, an antibody construct comprises an Fc domain that may further comprise an Fc region, in which the Fc domain may be the part of an Fc region that interacts with Fc receptors. The Fc domain of an antibody construct may interact with Fc- receptors (FcRs) found on immune cells. The Fc domain may also mediate the interaction between effector molecules and cells, which can lead to activation of the immune system. The Fc domain may be derived from IgG, IgA, or IgD antibody isotypes, and may comprise two identical protein fragments, which are derived from the second and third constant domains of the antibody's heavy chains. In an Fc domain derived from an IgG antibody isotype, the Fc domain may comprise a highly-conserved N-glycosylation site, which may be essential for FcR- mediated downstream effects. The Fc domain may be derived from IgM or IgE antibody isotypes, in which the Fc region may comprise three heavy chain constant domains. In some embodiments, the Fc domain is an Fc null (i.e., exhibiting reduced or substantially no specific binding to Fey receptors).
[0067] An Fc domain may interact with different types of FcRs. The different types of FcRs may include, for example, FcyRI, FcyRIIA, FcyRIIB, FcyRIIIA, FcyRIIIB, FcaRI, FcμR, FcsRI, FcsRII, and FcRn. FcRs may be located on the membrane of certain immune cells including, for example, B lymphocytes, natural killer cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, follicular dendritic cells, eosinophils, basophils, platelets, and mast cells. Once the FcR is engaged by the Fc domain, the FcR may initiate functions including, for example, clearance of an antigen- antibody complex via receptor-mediated endocytosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), and ligand- triggered transmission of signals across the plasma membrane that can result in alterations in secretion, exocytosis, and cellular metabolism. FcRs may deliver signals when FcRs are aggregated by antibodies and multivalent antigens at the cell surface. The aggregation of FcRs with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) may sequentially activate SRC family tyrosine kinases and SYK family tyrosine kinases. IT AM comprises a twice-repeated YxxL sequence flanking seven variable residues. The SRC and SYK kinases may connect the transduced signals with common activation pathways.
[0068] An antibody may consist of two identical light protein chains and two identical heavy protein chains, all held together covalently by disulfide linkages. The N-terminal regions of the light and heavy chains together may form the antigen recognition site of an antibody.
Structurally, various functions of an antibody may be confined to discrete protein domains. The sites that can recognize and can bind antigen may consist of three complementarities determining regions (CDRs) that may lie within the variable heavy chain region and variable light chain region at the N-terminal end of the heavy chain and the light chain. The constant domains may provide the general framework of the antibody and may not be involved directly in binding the antibody to an antigen, but may be involved in various effector functions, such as participation of the antibody in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and may bind Fc receptors. The constant domains may be in an Fc region. The constant domains may include an Fc domain. The variable regions of natural light and heavy chains may have the same general structures, and each domain may comprise four framework regions, whose sequences can be somewhat conserved, connected by three hyper-variable regions or CDRs. The four framework regions (FR) may largely adopt a β-sheet conformation and the CDRs can form loops connecting, and in some aspects forming part of, the β-sheet structure. The CDRs in each chain may be held in close proximity by the framework regions and, with the CDRs from the other chain, may contribute to the formation of the antigen binding site.
[0069] An antibody construct may comprise a light chain of an amino acid sequence having at least one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten modifications and in certain embodiments, not more than 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15 or 10 modifications of the amino acid sequence relative to the natural or original amino acid sequence. An antibody construct may comprise a heavy chain of an amino acid sequence having at least one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten modifications and in certain embodiments, not more than 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15 or 10 modifications of the amino acid sequence relative to the natural or original amino acid sequence.
[0070] An antibody of an antibody construct may include an antibody of any type, which may be assigned to different classes of immunoglobins, e.g., IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Several different classes may be further divided into isotypes, e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl, and IgA2. An antibody may further comprise a light chain and a heavy chain, often more than one chain. The heavy-chain constant regions (Fc) that corresponds to the different classes of immunoglobulins may be α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively. The light chains may be one of either kappa (κ) or lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequences of the constant domains. The Fc domain may further comprise an Fc region. An Fc receptor may bind an Fc domain. Antibody constructs may also include any fragment or recombinant forms thereof, including but not limited to, single chain variable fragments (scFvs), 'T-bodies', anti-calins, centyrins, affibodies, domain antibodies, or peptibodies.
[0071] An antibody construct may comprise an antibody fragment. An antibody fragment may include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CHI domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; and (iii) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody. Although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, may be coded for by separate genes, they may be linked by a synthetic linker to be made as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules.
[0072] F(ab')2 and Fab' moieties may be recombinantly produced or produced by treating immunoglobulin (e.g., monoclonal antibody) with a protease such as pepsin and papain, and may include an antibody fragment generated by digesting immunoglobulin near the disulfide bonds existing between the hinge regions in each of the two H chains. The Fab fragment may also contain the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CHI) of the heavy chain. Fab' fragments may differ from Fab fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain CHi domain including one or more cysteine(s) from the antibody hinge region.
[0073] An Fv may be the minimum antibody fragment which contains a complete antigen- recognition and antigen-binding site. This region may consist of a dimer of one heavy chain and one light chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent association. In this configuration, the CDRs of each variable domain may interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the VH-VL dimer. A single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) may recognize and bind antigen, although the binding can be at a lower affinity than the affinity of the entire binding site.
[0074] An antibody may include an Fc domain comprising an Fc region. The Fc domain of an antibody may interact with FcRs found on immune cells. The Fc domain may also mediate the interaction between effector molecules and cells, which may lead to activation of the immune system. In the IgG, IgA, and IgD antibody isotypes, the Fc domain or region may comprise two identical protein fragments, which can be derived from the second and third constant domains of the antibody's heavy chains. In the IgM and IgE antibody isotypes, the Fc regions may comprise three heavy chain constant domains. In the IgG antibody isotype, the Fc regions may comprise a highly-conserved N-glycosylation site, which may be important for FcR-mediated downstream effects.
[0075] An antibody used herein may be "chimeric" or "humanized." Humanized forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies can be chimeric immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2 or other target-binding subdomains of antibodies), which may contain minimal sequences derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In general, the humanized antibody may comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the framework regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody may also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin consensus sequence.
[0076] An antibody may be a human antibody. As used herein, "human antibodies" can include antibodies having, for example, the amino acid sequence of a human immunoglobulin and may include antibodies isolated from human immunoglobulin libraries or from animals transgenic for one or more human immunoglobulins that do not express endogenous immunoglobulins. Human antibodies may be produced using transgenic mice which are incapable of expressing functional endogenous immunoglobulins, but which may express human immunoglobulin genes. Completely human antibodies that recognize a selected epitope may be generated using guided selection. In this approach, a selected non-human monoclonal antibody, e.g., a mouse antibody, may be used to guide the selection of a completely human antibody recognizing the same epitope.
[0077] An antibody may be a bispecific antibody or a dual variable domain antibody (DVD). Bispecific and DVD antibodies may be monoclonal, often human or humanized, antibodies that can have binding specificities for at least two different antigens.
[0078] An antibody may be a derivatized antibody. For example, derivatized antibodies may be modified by glycosylation, deglycosylation, defucosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization by known protecting/blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, linkage to a cellular ligand or other protein.
[0079] In certain embodiments, a targeting moiety or antibody construct comprises an Fc domain or an Fc region. The Fc domain or Fc region may interact with one or more Fc receptors (FcRs). An Fc domain or Fc region of an antibody construct may interact with one or more Fc receptors. An Fc domain or Fc region may interact with Fc receptors found on immune cells. An Fc domain or Fc region may also mediate the interaction between effector molecules and cells, which can lead to activation of the immune system. An Fc domain or Fc region may be derived from IgG, IgA, or IgD antibody isotypes, and may comprise two identical protein fragments, which are derived from the second and third constant domains of the antibody's heavy chains. In an Fc domain or region derived from an IgG antibody isotype, the Fc domain or region may comprise a highly-conserved N-glycosylation site, which may be essential for FcR-mediated downstream effects. The Fc domain or region may be derived from IgM or IgE antibody isotypes, in which the Fc domain or region may comprise three heavy chain constant domains.
[0080] An Fc domain may interact with different types of FcRs. The different types of FcRs may include, for example, FcyRI, FcyRIIA, FcyRIIB, FcyRIIIA, FcyRIIIB, FcaRI, FcμR, FcsRI, FcsRII, and FcRn. FcRs may be located on the membrane of certain immune cells including, for example, B lymphocytes, natural killer cells, macrophages, neutrophils, follicular dendritic cells, eosinophils, basophils, platelets, and mast cells. Once the FcR is engaged by the Fc domain, the FcR may initiate functions including, for example, clearance of an antigen-antibody complex via receptor-mediated endocytosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), and ligand-triggered transmission of signals across the plasma membrane that can result in alterations in secretion, exocytosis, and cellular metabolism. FcRs may deliver signals when FcRs are aggregated by antibodies and multivalent antigens at the cell surface. The aggregation of FcRs with immunoreceptor tyrosine- based activation motifs (ITAMs) may sequentially activate SRC family tyrosine kinases and SYK family tyrosine kinases. IT AM comprises a twice-repeated YxxL sequence flanking seven variable residues. The SRC and SYK kinases may connect the transduced signals with common activation pathways.
[0081] In some embodiments, an Fc domain or region of the antibody construct of a conjugate can exhibit increased binding affinity to one or more Fc receptors. In some embodiments, an Fc domain or region can exhibit increased binding affinity to one or more Fcgamma receptors. In some embodiments, an Fc domain or region can exhibit increased binding affinity to FcRn receptors.

In some embodiments, an Fc domain or region can exhibit reduced binding affinity to Fcgamma and FcRn receptors. In some embodiments, an Fc domain is an Fc null domain or region. In some embodiments, an Fc domain or region can exhibit reduced binding affinity to FcRn receptors, but have the same or increased binding affinity to one or more Fcgamma receptors as compared to a wildtype IgG. In some embodiments, an Fc domain or region can exhibit increased binding affinity to FcRn receptors, but have the same or decreased binding affinity to one or more Fcgamma receptors.
[083] The Fc domain may have one or more, two or more, three or more, or four or more amino acid substitutions that decrease binding of the Fc domain to an Fc receptor. In certain embodiments, an Fc domain has decreased binding affinity for one or more of FcyRI (CD64), FcyRIIA (CD32), FcyRIIIA (CD 16a), FcyRIIIB (CD 16b), or any combination thereof.

Target Binding Domain
[0147] An antibody construct may further comprise a target binding domain. A target binding domain comprises a domain that specifically binds to a target. A target binding domain may comprise an antigen binding domain. A target binding domain may be a domain that can specifically bind to an antigen. A target binding domain may be an antigen-binding portion of an antibody or an antibody fragment. A target binding domain may be one or more fragments of an antibody that can retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. A target binding domain may be any antigen binding fragment. A target binding domain may be in a scaffold, in which a scaffold is a supporting framework for the antigen binding domain. A target binding domain may comprise an antigen binding domain in a scaffold.
[0148] A target binding domain may comprise an antigen binding domain which can refer to a portion of an antibody comprising the antigen recognition portion, i.e., an antigenic determining variable region of an antibody sufficient to confer recognition and specific binding of the antigen recognition portion to a target, such as an antigen, i.e., the epitope. A target binding domain may comprise an antigen binding domain of an antibody.
[0149] An Fv can be the minimum antibody fragment which contains a complete antigen- recognition and antigen-binding site. This region may consist of a dimer of one heavy chain and one light chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent association. In this configuration, the three
CDRs of each variable domain may interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the VH-VL dimer. A single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) can recognize and bind antigen, although at a lower affinity than the entire binding site.
[0150] A target binding domain may be at least 80% homologous to a specific antigen binding domain selected from, but not limited to, a monoclonal antibody, a polyclonal antibody, a recombinant antibody, or a functional fragment thereof, for example, a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a light chain variable domain (VL), a single chain variable fragment (scFv), or a DARPin, an affimer, an avimer, a knottin, a monobody, an affinity clamp, an ectodomain, a receptor ectodomain, a receptor, a cytokine, a ligand, an immunocytokine, a T cell receptor, or a recombinant T cell receptor.
[0151] A target binding domain may be attached to an antibody construct. For example, an antibody construct may be fused with a target binding domain to create an antibody construct target binding domain fusion. The antibody construct-target binding domain fusion may be the result of the nucleic acid sequence of the target binding domain being expressed in frame with the nucleic acid sequence of the antibody construct. The antibody construct-target binding domain fusion may be the result of an in-frame genetic nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody construct, or a or a contiguous peptide sequence of the antibody construct, with the target binding domain. As another example, a target binding domain may be linked to an antibody construct. A target binding domain may be linked to an antibody construct by a chemical conjugation. A target binding domain may be attached to a terminus of an Fc domain or Fc region. A target binding domain may be attached to a terminus of an Fc domain or Fc region. A target binding domain may be attached to a terminus of an antibody construct. A target binding domain may be attached to a terminus of an antibody. A target binding domain may be attached to a light chain of an antibody. A target binding domain may be attached to a terminus of a light chain of an antibody. A target binding domain may be attached to a heavy chain of an antibody. A target binding domain may be attached to terminus of a heavy chain of an antibody. The terminus may be a C-terminus. An antibody construct may be attached to 1, 2, 3, and/or 4 target binding domains. The target binding domain may direct the antibody construct to, for example, a particular cell or cell type. A target binding domain of an antibody construct may be selected in order to recognize an antigen, e.g., an antigen expressed on an immune cell. An antigen can be a peptide or fragment thereof. An antigen may be expressed on an immune cell, such as an antigen -presenting cell. An antigen may be expressed on a dendritic cell, a
macrophage, or a B cell. As another example, an antigen may be a tumor antigen. The tumor antigen may be any tumor antigen. When multiple target binding domains are attached to an antibody construct, the target binding domains may bind to the same antigen. When multiple target binding domains are attached to an antibody construct, the target binding domains may bind different antigens.

Attachment of Linkers to Antibody Construct
[0153] The conjugates may comprise a linker, e.g., a cleavable (e.g., peptide) linker or a non- cleavable linker. Linkers of the conjugates and methods described herein may not affect the binding of active portions of a conjugate (e.g., active portions include antigen binding domains, Fc domains, target binding domains, antibodies, compounds or salts of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), or (IIIc)) to a target, which can be a cognate binding partner such as an antigen. A linker can form a linkage between different parts of a conjugate, e.g., between an antibody construct and a heterocyclic compound or a salt thereof. In certain embodiments, a conjugate includes multiple linkers. In certain embodiments, wherein a conjugate includes multiple linkers, the linkers may be the same linkers or different linkers.
[0154] A linker may be covalently bound to an antibody construct by a bond between the antibody construct and the linker. A linker may be bound to an antibody construct by a bond between antibody construct and the linker. A linker may be bound to a terminus of an amino acid sequence of an antibody construct, or may be bound to a side chain modification to the antibody construct, such as the side chain of a lysine, serine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, aspartic acid, a non-natural amino acid residue, glutamine or glutamic acid residue. A linker may be bound to a terminus of an amino acid sequence of an Fc domain or Fc region of an antibody construct, or may be bound to a side chain modification of an Fc domain or Fc region of an antibody construct, such as the side chain of a lysine, serine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, aspartic acid, a non-natural amino acid residue, glutamine or glutamic acid residue. A linker may be bound to a terminus of an amino acid sequence of an Fc domain of an antibody construct, or may be bound to a side chain modification of an Fc domain of an antibody construct, such as the side chain of a lysine, serine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, aspartic acid, a non-natural amino acid residue, glutamine, or glutamic acid residue.
[0155] A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at a hinge cysteine. A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at a light chain constant domain lysine. A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at a heavy chain constant domain lysine. A linker may be bound to an antibody constmct at an engineered cysteine in the light chain. A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at an Fc region lysine. A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at an
Fc domain lysine. A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at an Fc region cysteine. A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at an Fc domain cysteine.

A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at an unnatural amino acid engineered into the light chain. A linker may be bound to an antibody construct at an unnatural amino acid engineered into the heavy chain. Amino acids can be engineered into an amino acid sequence of an antibody construct, for example, a linker of a conjugate. Engineered amino acids may be added to a sequence of existing amino acids.
Engineered amino acids may be substituted for one or more existing amino acids of a sequence of amino acids.
[0156] A linker may be conjugated to an antibody construct via a sulfhydryl group on the antibody construct. A linker may be conjugated to an antibody construct via a primary amine on the antibody construct. A linker may be conjugated to an antibody construct via a residue of an unnatural amino acid on an antibody construct, e.g., a ketone moiety.

[0234] Exemplary linkers for a compound or salt of any one of the compounds or salts in this section are described in the subsequent section entitled "Linkers".
[0235] Combinations of substituents and variables envisioned by this invention are only those that result in the formation of stable compounds. The term "stable", as used herein, refers to compounds which possess stability sufficient to allow manufacture and which maintains the integrity of the compound for a sufficient period of time to be useful for the purposes detailed herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a subject).
[0236] Included in the present disclosure are salts, particularly pharmaceutically acceptable salts, of the compounds described herein. The compounds of the present disclosure that possess a sufficiently acidic, a sufficiently basic, or both functional groups, can react with any of a number of inorganic bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a salt. Alternatively, compounds that are inherently charged, such as those with a quaternary nitrogen, can form a salt with an appropriate counterion, e.g., a halide such as bromide, chloride, or fluoride, particularly bromide.
[0237] The compounds described herein may in some cases exist as diastereomers, enantiomers, or other stereoisomeric forms. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. Separation of stereoisomers may be performed by chromatography or by forming diastereomers and separating by recrystallization, or chromatography, or any combination thereof. (Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, "Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions", John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981, herein incorporated by reference for this disclosure). Stereoisomers may also be obtained by stereoselective synthesis.
[0238] The methods and compositions described herein include the use of amorphous forms as well as crystalline forms (also known as polymorphs). The compounds described herein may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. In some embodiments, active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity are included in the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, the compounds described herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. The solvated forms of the compounds presented herein are also considered to be disclosed herein.
[0239] In certain embodiments, compounds or salts of the compounds of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc) may be prodrugs, e.g., wherein a hydroxyl in the parent compound is presented as an ester or a carbonate, or carboxylic acid present in the parent compound is presented as an ester. The term "prodrug" is intended to encompass compounds which, under physiologic conditions, are converted into pharmaceutical agents of the present disclosure. One method for making a prodrug is to include one or more selected moieties which are hydrolyzed under physiologic conditions to reveal the desired molecule. In other embodiments, the prodrug is converted by enzymatic activity of the host animal such as by specific target cells in the host animal. For example, esters or carbonates (e.g., esters or carbonates of alcohols or carboxylic acids and esters of phosphonic acids) are preferred prodrugs of the present disclosure.
[0240] Prodrug forms of the herein described compounds, wherein the prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce a compound of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc) as set forth herein are included within the scope of the claims. In some cases, some of the herein-described compounds may be a prodrug for another derivative or active compound.
[0241] Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. Prodrugs may help enhance the cell permeability of a compound relative to the parent drug. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. Prodrugs may be designed as reversible drug derivatives, for use as modifiers to enhance drug transport to site-specific tissues or to increase drug residence inside of a cell.
[0242] In certain embodiments, the prodrug may be converted, e.g., enzymatically or chemically, to the parent compound under the conditions within a cell. In certain embodiments, the parent compound includes an acidic moiety, e.g., resulting from the hydrolysis of the prodrug, which may be charged under the conditions within the cell. In some embodiments, the prodrug is converted to the parent compound once it has passed through the cell membrane into a cell. In certain embodiments, the parent compound has diminished cell membrane permeability properties relative to the prodrug, such as decreased lipophilicity and increased hydrophilicity.
[0243] In certain embodiments, the parent compound with the acidic moiety is retained within a cell for a longer duration than the same compound without the acidic moiety.
[0244] The parent compound, with an acidic moiety, may be retained within the cell, i.e., drug residence, for 10% or longer, such as 15% or longer, such as 20% or longer, such as 25% or longer, such as 30% or longer, such as 35% or longer, such as 40% or longer, such as 45% or longer, such as 50% or longer, such as 55% or longer, such as 60% or longer, such as 65% or longer, such as 70% or longer, such as 75% or longer, such as 80% or longer, such as 85% or longer, or even 90% or longer relative to the same compound without an acidic moiety.
[0245] In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the lipophilicity of the pharmaceutical agent. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility. See, e.g., Fedorak et al, Am. J. Physiol, 269:G210-218 (1995); McLoed et al, Gastroenterol, 106:405-413 (1994); Hochhaus et al., Biomed. Chrom., 6:283-286 (1992); J.

Conjugates and Linkers
[0247] The compounds and salts described herein may be bound to a linker, e.g., a cleavable linker or a non-cleavable linker. In certain embodiments, the linker is also bound to an antibody construct and may be referred to as an antibody construct conjugate or conjugate. Linkers of the conjugates may not affect the binding of active portions of a conjugate, e.g., the antigen binding domains, Fc domains, target binding domains, antibodies, or the like, to a target, which can be a cognate binding partner such as an antigen. A conjugate can comprise multiple linkers, each having one or more compounds attached. These linkers can be the same linkers or different linkers.
[0248] A linker can be short, flexible, rigid, cleavable, non-cleavable, hydrophilic, or hydrophobic. A linker can contain segments that have different characteristics, such as segments of flexibility or segments of rigidity. The linker can be chemically stable to extracellular environments, for example, chemically stable in the blood stream, or may include linkages that are not stable or selectively stable. The linker can include linkages that are designed to cleave and/or immolate or otherwise breakdown specifically or non-specifically inside cells. A cleavable linker can be sensitive to enzymes. A cleavable linker can be cleaved by enzymes such as proteases. A cleavable linker may comprise a valine-citrulline (Val-Cit) dipeptide or a valine- alanine (Val-Ala) dipeptide. A valine-citrulline or valine-alanine containing linker can contain a pentafluorophenyl group. A valine-citrulline or valine-alanine containing linker can contain a succinimide group. A valine-citrulline or valine-alanine containing linker can contain a para- aminobenzyl alcohol (PABA) group or a para-ami nob enzyl carbamate (PABC) group. A valine- citrulline or valine-alanine containing linker can contain a PABA group and a pentafluorophenyl group. A valine-citrulline or valine-alanine containing linker can contain a PABA group and a succinimide group.
[0249] A cleavable linker can include a maleimido group, such as maleimidocaproyl, attached to a peptide. The peptide can be, for example, valine-citrulline, valine-lysine, valine-alanine, or the like.
[0250] A non-cleavable linker can be protease insensitive. A non-cleavable linker can be maleimidocaproyl linker. A maleimidocaproyl linker can comprise N- maleimidomethylcyclohexane-l-carboxylate. A maleimidocaproyl linker can contain a succinimide group. A maleimidocaproyl linker can contain pentafluorophenyl group. A linker can be a combination of a maleimidocaproyl group and one or more polyethylene glycol molecules. A linker can be a maleimide-PEG4 linker. A linker can be a combination of a maleimidocaproyl linker containing a succinimide group and one or more polyethylene glycol molecules. A linker can be a combination of a maleimidocaproyl linker containing a
pentafluorophenyl group and one or more polyethylene glycol molecules. A linker can contain maleimides linked to polyethylene glycol molecules in which the polyethylene glycol can allow for more linker flexibility or can be used lengthen the linker. A linker can be a
(maleimidocaproyl)-(valine-citrulline)-(para-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl)- linker. A linker can be a THIOMAB linker. A THIOMAB linker can be a (maleimidocaproyl)-(valine-citrulline)-(para- aminobenzyloxycarbonyl)- linker.
[0251] A linker can also comprise alkylene, alkenylene, alkynylene, polyether, polyester, polyamide group(s) and also, polyamino acids, polypeptides, cleavable peptides, or
aminobenzylcarbamates. A linker can contain a maleimide at one end and an N- hydroxysuccinimidyl ester at the other end. A linker can contain a lysine with an N-terminal amine acetylated, and a valine-citrulline cleavage site. A linker can be a link created by a microbial transglutaminase, wherein the link can be created between an amine-containing moiety and a moiety engineered to contain glutamine as a result of the enzyme catalyzing a bond formation between the acyl group of a glutamine side chain and the primary amine of a lysine chain. A linker can contain a reactive primary amine. A linker can be a Sortase A linker. A Sortase A linker can be created by a Sortase A enzyme fusing an LXPTG recognition motif to an N-terminal GGG motif to regenerate a native amide bond. The linker created can therefore link a moiety attached to the LXPTG recognition motif with a moiety attached to the N-terminal GGG motif.
[0252] In the conjugates, a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ha), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc) is linked to the antibody construct by way of a linker(s), also referred to herein as L3. L3, as used herein, may be selected from any of the linkers discussed herein. The linker linking the compound or salt to the antibody construct of a conjugate may be short, long, hydrophobic, hydrophilic, flexible or rigid, or may be composed of segments that each independently have one or more of the above-mentioned properties such that the linker may include segments having different properties. The linkers may be polyvalent such that they covalently link more than one compound or salt to a residue of an antibody construct, or monovalent such that covalently they link a single compound or salt to a a residue of an antibody construct.
[0253] As will be appreciated by skilled artisans, the linkers may link a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc) to the antibody construct by covalent linkages between the linker and the antibody construct and compound. As used herein, the term "linker" may be used to refer to (i) unconjugated forms of the linker that include a functional group capable of covalently linking the linker to a
compound(s) or salt(s) of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc) and a functional group capable of covalently linking the linker to an antibody construct; (ii) partially conjugated forms of the linker that include a functional group capable of covalently linking the linker to an antibody construct and that is covalently linked to a compound(s) or salt(s) of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc), or vice versa; and (iii) fully conjugated forms of the linker that are covalently linked to both a compound(s) or salt(s) of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc) and an antibody construct. One embodiment pertains to a conjugate formed by contacting an antibody construct that binds a cell surface receptor or tumor associated antigen expressed on a tumor cell with a linker-compound described herein under conditions in which the linker-compound covalently links to the antibody construct. One embodiment pertains to a method of making a conjugate formed by contacting a linker- compound described herein under conditions in which the linker-compound covalently links to the antibody construct. One embodiment pertains to a method of stimulating immune activity in a cell that expresses a target antigen, comprising contacting the cell with a conjugate that is capable of binding the cell, under conditions in which the conjugate binds the cell.

[0256] In certain embodiments, for a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc), the peptide comprises Cit-Val.
[0257] In certain embodiments, for a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc), L3 is selected from:
Figure imgf000101_0001
[0258] In certain embodiments, for a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc), L3 is represented by the formula:

in which RX comprises a reactive moiety. In certain embodiments, L is represented by the formula:
Figure imgf000101_0003
in which RX* is a bond, a succinimide moiety, or a hydrolyzed succinimide moiety, wherein on RX* represents the point of attachment to the residue of the antibody construct. For example L3 may be represented by the formula:
Figure imgf000101_0004
in which the wavy line indicates an attachment to a heterocyclic compound. [0259] In certain embodiments, for a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb),
(II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc), L3 includes a hydrazone moiety. For example, L3 may be selected from:
Figure imgf000102_0001
in which the wavy line indicates to the point of attachment to the compound. In some embodiments, M is selected from the group consisting of Ci-C6 alkyl, aryl, and -0-Ci-C6 alkyl.
[0260] In certain embodiments, for a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc), L3 includes a self-stabilizing moiety. For example, L3 m lected from:
Figure imgf000102_0002

[0261] In certain embodiments, for a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc), L3 includes a methylene carbamate unit.
[0262] A linker may be a polyvalent linker that may be used to link one or more compounds or salts of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc) to a residue of an antibody construct. For example, Fleximer® linker technology has the potential to enable high-DAR (drug-to-antibody ratio) conjugates with useful physicochemical properties. As shown below, the Fleximer® linker technology is based on incorporating drug molecules into a solubilizing poly-acetal backbone via a sequence of ester bonds:
O-Drug' O-Drug' O-Drug'
The methodology renders highly-loaded conjugates (DAR up to 20) while maintaining useful physicochemical properties. This methodology could be utilized with a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc).
[0263] In certain embodiments, to utilize the Fleximer® linker technology depicted above, an aliphatic alcohol can be present or introduced into a heterocyclic compound or salt thereof. The alcohol moiety is then conjugated to an alanine moiety, which is then synthetically incorporated into the Fleximer® linker. Liposomal processing of the conjugate in vitro releases the parent alcohol-containing drug.
[0264] By way of example and not limitation, some cleavable and noncleavable linkers that may be included in the conjugates are described below.
[0265] Cleavable linkers can be cleavable in vitro and in vivo. Cleavable linkers can include chemically or enzymatically unstable or degradable linkages. Cleavable linkers can rely on processes inside the cell to liberate a heterocyclic compound, such as reduction in the cytoplasm, exposure to acidic conditions in the lysosome, or cleavage by specific proteases or other enzymes within the cell. Cleavable linkers can incorporate one or more chemical bonds that are either chemically or enzymatically cleavable while the remainder of the linker can be noncleavable.
[0266] A linker can contain a chemically labile group such as hydrazone and/or disulfide groups. Linkers comprising chemically labile groups can exploit differential properties between the plasma and some cytoplasmic compartments. The intracellular conditions that can facilitate heterocyclic compound release for hydrazone containing linkers can be the acidic environment of endosomes and lysosomes, while the disulfide containing linkers can be reduced in the cytosol, which can contain high thiol concentrations, e.g., glutathione. The plasma stability of a linker containing a chemically labile group can be increased by introducing steric hindrance using substituents near the chemically labile group. [0267] Acid-labile groups, such as hydrazone, can remain intact during systemic circulation in the blood's neutral pH environment (pH 7.3-7.5) and can undergo hydrolysis and can release the heterocyclic compound once the conjugate (e.g, the antibody construct, the heterocyclic compound and the linker) is internalized into mildly acidic endosomal (pH 5.0-6.5) and lysosomal (pH 4.5-5.0) compartments of the cell. This pH dependent release mechanism can be associated with nonspecific release of the drug. To increase the stability of the hydrazone group of the linker, the linker can be varied by chemical modification, e.g., substitution, allowing tuning to achieve more efficient release in the lysosome with a minimized loss in circulation.
[0268] Hydrazone-containing linkers can contain additional cleavage sites, such as additional acid-labile cleavage sites and/or enzymatically labile cleavage sites. Exemplary hydrazone- containing linkers include for example, the following structures:
Figure imgf000104_0001
in which the wavy line represents the point of attachment to a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc). In some
embodiments, M may be selected from the group consisting of Ci-C6 alkyl, aryl, and -0-Ci-C6 alkyl. The point of attachment to a residue of an antibody construct may be at the opposite end of the linker. Certain linkers can include two or more cleavable groups such as a disulfide and a hydrazone moiety. For such linkers, effective release of the unmodified free heterocyclic compound can require acidic pH or disulfide reduction and acidic pH. Other linkers can be effective with a single hydrazone cleavage site.
[0269] Acid-labile linkers may also include silyl ethers. For example, in certain
embodiments, for a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (He), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc), L3 is represented by the formula: ^S'^o(C Cs alkylene)~RX
in which each R30 is independently selected from optionally substituted Ci-6 alkyl and optionally substituted phenyl; the wavy line indicates an attachment to the reaminder of the compound; and RX includes a reactive moiety. RX may include a leaving group or be a maleimide. In certain embodiments, L3 is represented by the formula:
Figure imgf000104_0002
wherein RX* is a bond, a succinimide moiety, or a hydrolyzed succinimide moiety bound to a residue of an antibody construct, wherein ^ on RX* represents the point of attachment to the residue of the antibody construct; and R30 is independently selected from optioinally substituted Ci-C6 alkyl and optionally substituted phenyl.
[0270] Other acid-labile groups that can be included in linkers include cz's-aconityl-containing linkers, cz's- Aconityl chemistry can use a carboxylic acid juxtaposed to an amide bond to accelerate amide hydrolysis under acidic conditions.
[0271] Cleavable linkers can also include a disulfide group. Disulfides can be
thermodynamically stable at physiological pH and can be designed to release the heterocyclic compound upon internalization inside cells, wherein the cytosol can provide a significantly more reducing environment compared to the extracellular environment. Scission of disulfide bonds can require the presence of a cytoplasmic thiol cofactor, such as (reduced) glutathione (GSH), such that disulfide-containing linkers can be reasonably stable in circulation, selectively releasing the heterocyclic compound in the cytosol. The intracellular enzyme protein disulfide isomerase, or similar enzymes capable of cleaving disulfide bonds, can also contribute to the preferential cleavage of disulfide bonds inside cells. GSH can be present in cells in the concentration range of 0.5-10 mM compared with a significantly lower concentration of GSH or cysteine, the most abundant low-molecular weight thiol, in circulation at approximately 5 μΜ. Tumor cells, where irregular blood flow can lead to a hypoxic state, can result in enhanced activity of reductive enzymes and therefore even higher glutathione concentrations. The in vivo stability of a disulfide-containing linker can be enhanced by chemical modification of the linker, e.g., use of steric hindrance adjacent to the disulfide bond.
[0272] Disulfide-containing linkers can include the following structures:
Figure imgf000105_0001
in which the wavy line represents the point of attachment to a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc) and R is independently selected at each occurrence from hydrogen or alkyl, for example. The point of attachment to a residue of an antibody construct may be at the opposite end of the linker (e.g., -SH or - H2). Increasing steric hindrance adjacent to the disulfide bond can increase the stability of the linker. Structures such as those shown above can show increased in vivo stability when one or more R groups is selected from a lower alkyl group such as methyl.
[0273] Another type of linker that can be used is a linker that is specifically cleaved by an enzyme. For example, the linker can be cleaved by a lysosomal enzyme. Such linkers can be peptide-based or can include peptidic regions that can act as substrates for enzymes. Peptide based linkers can be more stable in plasma and extracellular milieu than chemically labile linkers.
[0274] Peptide bonds can have good serum stability, as lysosomal proteolytic enzymes can have very low activity in blood due to endogenous inhibitors and the unfavorably high pH value of blood compared to lysosomes. Release of a heterocyclic compound from a residue of an antibody construct can occur due to the action of lysosomal proteases, e.g., cathepsin and plasmin. These proteases can be present at elevated levels in certain tumor tissues. The linker can be cleavable by a lysosomal enzyme. The lysosomal enzyme can be, for example, cathepsin B, cathepsin S, β-glucuronidase, or β-galactosidase.
[0275] The cleavable peptide can be selected from tetrapeptides such as Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly, Ala-Leu- Ala-Leu or dipeptides such as Val-Cit, Val-Ala, and Phe-Lys; and optionally with a maleimidyl caproyl group (mc). Dipeptides can have lower hydrophobicity compared to longer peptides. In an example, a compound or salt of Formula (I), having a linker L3 attached thereto, may be represented by:
Figure imgf000106_0001
For example, a compound or salt of Formula (I) may be:
Figure imgf000106_0002
[0276] A variety of dipeptide-based cleavable linkers can be used in the conjugates.
[0277] Enzymatically cleavable linkers can include a self-immolative component to spatially separate the heterocyclic compound from the site of enzymatic cleavage. The direct attachment of a heterocyclic compound to a peptide linker can result in proteolytic release of the heterocyclic compound or of an amino acid adduct of the heterocyclic compound, thereby impairing its activity. The use of a self-immolative component can allow for the elimination of the fully active, chemically unmodified heterocyclic compound upon amide bond hydrolysis.
[0278] One self-immolative component (e.g., spacer) can be a bifunctional /?ara-aminobenzyl alcohol group, which can link to the peptide through the amino group, forming an amide bond, while amine-containing heterocyclic compounds can be attached through carbamate
functionalities to the benzylic hydroxyl group of the linker (to give a ^-amidobenzylcarbamate, PABC). The resulting pro-heterocyclic compound can be activated upon protease-mediated cleavage, leading to a 1,6-elimination reaction releasing the unmodified heterocyclic compound, carbon dioxide, and remnants of the linker. The following scheme depicts the fragmentation of p- amidobenzyl carbamate and release of the heterocyclic compound:
Figure imgf000107_0001
X-D
wherein X-D represents the unmodified heterocyclic compound. Heterocyclic variants of this self-immolative group have also been described. Another example of a self-immolative component includes a methylene carbamate unit. A self-immolative component may have the form:
Figure imgf000107_0002
in which the wavy line represents the point of attachment to additional linker components or a residue of an antibody construct; Y is an activatable self-immolative moiety; X-D is a heterocyclic compound or salt thereof, where X is, for example, a heteroatom such as oxygen; and R is independently selected at each occurrence from hydrogen, optionally substituted Ci-6 alkylene, an optionally substituted C3.12 carbocycle, and an optionally substituted 3- to 12- membered heterocycle, and a carbocycle or heterocycle interspersed with one or more alkylene groups.
[0279] The enzymatically cleavable linker can be a β-glucuronic acid-based linker. Facile release of the heterocyclic compound can be realized through cleavage of the β-glucuronide glycosidic bond by the lysosomal enzyme β-glucuronidase. This enzyme can be abundantly present within lysosomes and can be overexpressed in some tumor types, while the enzyme activity outside cells can be low. β-Glucuronic acid-based linkers can be used to circumvent the tendency of conjugate to undergo aggregation due to the hydrophilic nature of β-glucuronides. In certain embodiments, β-glucuronic acid-based linkers can link an antibody construct to a hydrophobic heterocyclic compound. The following scheme depicts the release of a heterocyclic compound (D) from an antibody construct-heterocyclic compound conjugate containing a β- lucuronic acid-based linker:
Figure imgf000108_0001
in which Ab indicates the antibody construct.
[0280] A variety of cleavable β-glucuronic acid-based linkers useful for linking drugs such as auristatins, camptothecin and doxorubicin analogues, CBI minor-groove binders, and psymberin to antibodies have been described. These β-glucuronic acid-based linkers may be used in the conjugates. In certain embodiments, the enzymatically cleavable linker is a β-galactoside-based linker. β-Galactoside is present abundantly within lysosomes, while the enzyme activity outside cells is low.
[0281] Additionally, heterocyclic compounds containing a phenol group can be covalently bonded to a linker through the phenolic oxygen. One such linker relies on a methodology in which a diamino-ethane "Space Link" is used in conjunction with traditional "PAB"-based self- immolative groups to deliver phenols.
[0282] Cleavable linkers can include non-cleavable portions or segments, and/or cleavable segments or portions can be included in an otherwise non-cleavable linker to render it cleavable. By way of example only, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and related polymers can include cleavable groups in the polymer backbone. For example, a polyethylene glycol or polymer linker can include one or more cleavable groups such as a disulfide, a hydrazone or a dipeptide.
[0283] Other degradable linkages that can be included in linkers can include ester linkages formed by the reaction of PEG carboxylic acids or activated PEG carboxylic acids with alcohol groups on a heterocyclic compound, wherein such ester groups can hydrolyze under
physiological conditions to release the heterocyclic compound. Hydrolytically degradable linkages can include, but are not limited to, carbonate linkages; imine linkages resulting from reaction of an amine and an aldehyde; phosphate ester linkages formed by reacting an alcohol with a phosphate group; acetal linkages that are the reaction product of an aldehyde and an alcohol; orthoester linkages that are the reaction product of a formate and an alcohol; and oligonucleotide linkages formed by a phosphoramidite group, including but not limited to, at the end of a polymer, and a hydroxyl group of an oligonucleotide. [0284] A linker can contain an enzymatically cleavable peptide moiety. For example, a linker may comprise a moiety selected from:
Figure imgf000109_0001
or a salt thereof, in which "peptide" represents a peptide (illustrated in N→C orientation, in which peptide includes the amino and carboxy "termini") that is cleavable by a lysosomal enzyme; T represents a polymer including one or more ethylene glycol units or an alkylene chain, or combinations thereof; Ra is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, sulfonate and methyl sulfonate; Ry is hydrogen or C1-4 alkyl-(0)r-(Ci-4 alkylene)s-G1 or C1-4 alkyl-(N)-[(Ci-4 alkylene)- G1^; Rz is CM alkyl-(0)r-(Ci-4 alkylene)s-G2; G1 is S03H, C02H, PEG 4-32, or a sugar moiety; G2 is S03H, C02H, or a PEG 4-32 moiety; r is 0 or 1; s is 0 or 1; p is an integer ranging from 0 to 5; q is 0 or 1; x is 0 or 1; y is 0 or 1; the wavy line represents the point of attachment of the linker to a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ha), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc); and * represents the point of attachment to another portion of the linker or to a residue of an antibody construct.
[0285] In certain embodiments, the peptide can be selected from natural amino acids, unnatural amino acids or combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, the peptide can be selected from a tripeptide or a dipeptide. In certain embodiments, the dipeptide can include L- amino acids and be selected from: Val-Cit; Cit-Val; Ala-Ala; Ala-Cit; Cit-Ala; Asn-Cit; Cit-Asn; Cit-Cit; Val-Glu; Glu-Val; Ser-Cit; Cit-Ser; Lys-Cit; Cit-Lys; Asp-Cit; Cit-Asp; Ala-Val; Val- Ala; Phe-Lys; Lys-Phe; Val-Lys; Lys-Val; Ala-Lys; Lys-Ala; Phe-Cit; Cit-Phe; Leu- Cit; Cit- Leu; He-Cit; Cit-He; Phe-Arg; Arg-Phe; Cit-Trp; and Trp-Cit, or salts thereof.

[0294] Although cleavable linkers can provide certain advantages, the linkers need not be cleavable. For non-cleavable linkers, the heterocyclic compound release may not depend on the differential properties between the plasma and some cytoplasmic compartments. The release of the heterocyclic compound can occur after internalization of the conjugate via antigen-mediated endocytosis and delivery to lysosomal compartment, where the antibody construct or a portion thereof can be degraded to the level of amino acids through intracellular proteolytic degradation. This process can release a heterocyclic compound derivative (a metabolite of the conjugate containing a non-cleavable linker-heterocyclic compound), which is formed by the heterocyclic compound, the linker, and the amino acid residue or residues to which the linker was covalently attached. The heterocyclic compound derivative from conjugates with non-cleavable linkers can be more hydrophilic and less membrane permeable, which can lead to less bystander effects and less nonspecific toxicities compared to conjugates with a cleavable linker. Conjugates with non- cleavable linkers can have greater stability in circulation than conjugates with cleavable linkers. Non-cleavable linkers can include alkylene chains, or can be polymeric, such as, for example, based upon polyalkylene glycol polymers, amide polymers, or can include segments of alkylene chains, polyalkylene glycols and/or amide polymers. The linker can contain a polyethylene glycol segment having from 1 to 6 ethylene glycol units.
[0295] The linker can be non-cleavable in vivo. For example, a linker may include one of the
followin structures:
Figure imgf000128_0001
(Via),
Figure imgf000128_0002
or salts thereof, which is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, sulfonate and methyl sulfonate; Rx is a reactive moiety including a functional group capable of covalently linking the linker to an antibody construct; and the wavy line represents the point of attachment of the linker L3 to the compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc).

[0297] Attachment groups that are used to attach the linkers to an antibody construct can be electrophilic in nature and include, for example, maleimide groups, activated disulfides, active esters such as NHS esters and HOBt esters, haloformates, acid halides, alkyl, and benzyl halides such as haloacetamides. There are also emerging technologies related to "self-stabilizing" maleimides and "bridging disulfide" that can be used in accordance with the disclosure.
[0298] Maleimide groups are frequently used in the preparation of conjugates because of their specificity for reacting with thiol groups of, for example, cysteine groups of the antibody residue of a conjugate. The reaction between a thiol group of an antibody residue and a drug with a linker including a maleimide group proceeds according to the following scheme:
Antibod
Figure imgf000129_0002
[0299] The reverse reaction leading to maleimide elimination from a thio- substituted succinimide may also take place. This reverse reaction is undesirable as the maleimide group may subsequently react with another available thiol group such as other proteins in the body having available cysteines. Accordingly, the reverse reaction can undermine the specificity of a conjugate. One method of preventing the reverse reaction is to incorporate a basic group into the linker shown in the scheme above. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the presence of the basic group may increase the nucleophilicity of nearby water molecules to promote ring-opening hydrolysis of the succinimide group. The hydrolyzed form of the attachment group is resistant to deconjugation in the presence of plasma proteins. Such self-stabilizing linkers provide conjugates with im roved stability. A representative schematic is shown below:
Figure imgf000130_0001
Figure imgf000130_0002
[0300] The hydrolysis reaction schematically represented above may occur at either carbonyl group of the succinimide group. Accordingly, two possible isomers may result, as shown below:
Figure imgf000130_0003
[0301] The identity of the base as well as the distance between the base and the maleimide group can be modified to tune the rate of hydrolysis of the thio- substituted succinimide group and optimize the delivery of a conjugate to a target by, for example, improving the specificity and stability of the conjugate.
[0302] Bases suitable for inclusion in a linker L3 described herein with a maleimide group prior to conjugation to an antibody construct may facilitate hydrolysis of a nearby succinimide group formed after conjugation of the antibody construct to the linker. Bases may include, for
26 27 26 2V
example, amines (e.g., -N(R )(R ), where R and R are independently selected from H and Ci-6 alkyl), nitrogen-containing heterocycles (e.g., a 3- to 12-membered heterocycle including one or more nitrogen atoms and optionally one or more double bonds), ami dines, guanidines, and carbocycles or heterocycles substituted with one or more amine groups (e.g., a 3- to 12- membered aromatic or non-aromatic cycle optionally including a heteroatom such as a nitrogen
26 27 26 27 atom and substituted with one or more amines of the type -N(R )(R ), where R and R are independently selected from H or Ci-6 alkyl). A basic unit may be separated from a maleimide group by, for example, an alkylene chain of the form -(CH2)q-, where q is an integer from 0 to 10. An alkylene chain may be optionally substituted with other functional groups as described herein.
[0303] A linker L3 with a maleimide group may include an electron withdrawing groups such as, but not limited to, -C(0)R, =0, -CN, -N02, -CX3, -X, -COOR, -CO R2, -COR, -COX, - S02R, -S02OR, -S02 HR, -S02NR2, P03R2, -P(0)(CH3) HR, -NO, -NR3 +, -CR=CR2, and - C≡CR, where each R is independently selected from H and Ci-6 alkyl and each X is
independently selected from F, Br, CI, and I. Self-stabilizing linkers may also include aryl, e.g., phenyl, or heteroaryl, e.g., pyridine, groups optionally substituted with electron withdrawing groups such as those described herein.
[0304] Examples of self-stabilizing linkers are provided in, e.g., U.S. Patent Publication Number 2013/0309256, the linkers of which are incorporated by reference herein. It will be understood that a self-stabilizing linker useful in conjunction with the compounds of the present invention may be equivalently described as unsubstituted maleimide-including linkers, thio- substituted succinimide-including linkers, or hydrolyzed, ring-opened thio- substituted succinimide-including linkers.
[0305] In certain embodiments a linker L3 includes a stabilizing linker selected from:

[0306] In the scheme provided above, the bottom structure may be referred to as (maleimido)- DPR-Val-Cit-PAB, where DPR refers to diaminopropinoic acid, Val refers to valine, Cit refers to citrulline, PAB refers to para-aminobenzylcarbonyl, and the wavy line represents the point of attachment to compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc). [0307] A method for bridging a pair of sulfhydryl groups derived from reduction of a native hinge disulfide bond has been disclosed and is depicted in the schematic below. An advantage of this methodology is the ability to synthesize homogenous DAR4 conjugates by full reduction of
IgGs (to give 4 pairs of sulfhydryls from interchain disulfides) followed by reaction with 4 equivalents of the alkylating agent. Conjugates containing bridged disulfides are also claimed to have increased stability.

[0310] Exemplary embodiments of linkers according to structural formula (VIIc) that can be included in the conjugates can include the linkers illustrated below (as illustrated, the linkers can include a roup suitable for covalently linking the linker to an antibody construct):
Figure imgf000136_0002

in which the wavy line represents the point of attachment of the linker L3 to the compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), and (IIIc). [0311] As is known by skilled artisans, the linker selected for a particular conjugate may be influenced by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the site of attachment to the residue of an antibody construct (e.g., Lys, Cys, or other amino acid residues), structural constraints of the drug pharmacophore (i.e., the heterocyclic compound), and the lipophilicity of the heterocyclic compound. The specific linker selected for a conjugate should seek to balance these different factors for the specific antibody construct-drug combination.
[0312] For example, heterocyclic compounds and conjugates including the same have been observed to effect killing of bystander antigen-negative cells present in the vicinity of the antigen-positive tumor cells. The mechanism of bystander cell killing by conjugates has indicated that metabolic products formed during intracellular processing of the conjugates may play a role. Neutral and hydrophobic cytotoxic metabolites generated by metabolism of the conjugates in antigen-positive cells appear to play a role in bystander cell killing while charged and hydrophilic metabolites may be prevented from diffusing across the membrane into the medium, or from the medium across the membrane, and therefore cannot affect bystander killing. In certain embodiments, the linker is selected to attenuate a bystander effect caused by cellular metabolites of the conjugate. In certain embodiments, the linker is selected to increase the bystander effect.
[0313] The properties of the linker, or linker-compound, may also impact aggregation of the conjugate under conditions of use and/or storage. Typically, conjugates reported in the literature contain no more than 3-4 drug molecules per antibody molecule. Attempts to obtain higher drug- to-antibody ratios ("DAR") often failed, particularly if both the drug and the linker were hydrophobic, due to aggregation of the conjugate. In many instances, DARs higher than 3-4 could be beneficial as a means of increasing potency. In instances where the heterocyclic compound is more hydrophobic in nature, it may be desirable to select linkers that are relatively hydrophilic as a means of reducing conjugate aggregation, especially in instances where DARs greater than 3-4 are desired. Thus, in certain embodiments, the linker incorporates chemical moieties that reduce aggregation of the conjugates during storage and/or use. A linker may incorporate polar or hydrophilic groups such as charged groups or groups that become charged under physiological pH to reduce the aggregation of the conjugates. For example, a linker may incorporate charged groups such as salts or groups that deprotonate, e.g., carboxylates, or protonate, e.g., amines, at physiological pH.
[0314] In some embodiments, the aggregation of the conjugates during storage or use is less than about 40% as determined by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). In certain
embodiments, the aggregation of the conjugates during storage or use is less than 35%, such as less than about 30%>, such as less than about 25%, such as less than about 20%, such as less than about 15%, such as less than about 10%, such as less than about 5%, such as less than about 4%, or even less, as determined by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC).
Conjugates of PROTACS
[0315] In certain embodiments, a conjugate of a compound described herein can be designed to increase ubiquitin-mediated target protein destruction via the ubiquitin pathway. The process of attaching ubiquitin molecules to a protein target typically involves 3 enzymes and processes: 1) an El enzyme that can activate ubiquitin, 2) an E2 enzyme that can transfer activated ubiquitin, and 3) a multi-subunit E3 enzyme ligase that can receive the activated ubiquitin and catalyze a ubiquitin attachment to the target protein.
[0316] In some embodiments, a conjugate includes a proteolysis or protein targeting module (PTM; also referred to as a proteoly sis-targeting chimera or PROTAC). A PTM can comprise a small molecule that can bind to an E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit and a target binding moiety (a compound described herein) that binds a protein target. The E3 ubiquitin ligase binding small molecule is attached, directly or by a spacer (S), to the target binding moiety. In some embodiments, a PTM includes a protein targeting moiety, such as a compound or salt described herein (designated D), that is covalently attached to an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety (ULM) through a spacer (S), and a linker (L) that is covalently attached to the PTM and to the antibody construct (Ab), as represented by the formula Ab-(L-PTMn)z, where n is from 1-20 and z is from 1 to 20.

Figure imgf000156_0001
[0374] 5-N-Boc-aminosalicylaldehyde (iii) can be prepared using a two-step procedure starting from 3-aminophenol by protection of the amino group followed by ortho formylation using para formaldehyde and magnesium chloride-triethylamine according to the method described by Hofslokken and Skattebol (Acta Chemica Scandinavica, 53, 1999, 258-262). The phenol can be converted to the corresponding triflate ester (iv) using triflic anhydride and a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine. Aryl triflates (iv) can then be converted to boronate ester analogs (v) using a Miyaura borylation reaction with bis(pinacolato)diboron and a palladium catalyst such as PdCl2dppf. A Henry reaction between aldehydes (v) and
nitromethane provides cyclic boronate esters (vi) which can be reduced with nickel in ammonium hydroxide to afford alkylamines (vii). The amine group of (vii) can be protected using trifluoroacetic anhydride and a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine to provide trifluoroacetamide analogs (viii). The boc group can be deprotected using a strong acid such as HC1 in dioxane to provide arylamines (ix) which can subsequently undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions with appropriately substituted quinazolines to give compounds (x) which can be converted to the amine analogs (xi) upon treatment with a base such as sodium hydroxide.

[0375] Aryl bromides (xii) can be converted to the pinacolboronate esters (xiii) using bis(pinacolato) diboron and a palladium catalyst such as PdCl2dppf. Reduction of the carboxylic ester provides the desired 3,4-dihydro-lH-benzo[c][l,2]oxaborinin-l-ols (m=l) or 4,5- dihydrobenzo[c][l,2]oxaborepin-l(3H)-ols (m=2) which can subsequently be nitrated using nitric acid to provide cyclic boronates (xv). The nitro group can be reduced to the target aryl amines (xvi) using a method such as hydrogenation using a metal catalyst such as palladium on carbon. Amine intermediates (xvi) can undergo a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction with an appropriately substituted quinazoline analog in the presence of catalytic toluenesulfonic acid to afford target molecules (xvii).

Reduction of the nitro group can be effected using iron in acetic acid to provide compounds (xviii) which can be reacted with 2-chloroquinazolines (xv) to afford SNAr adducts (xix). Ring closing metathesis reaction of bis-olefin (xix) using a ruthenium catalyst such as Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst in a dilute solvent such as dichloroethane provides macrocyclic alkenes (xxx) which can be converted to alkanes (xxxi) using standard
hydrogenation conditions.

IC50 Determination for TNIK Inhibitors
[0399] TNIK enzyme inhibition assays were performed by Reaction Biology Corp (Malvern, PA) using the protocol described below.
[0400] 20 uM peptide subtrate [RLGRDKYKTLRQIRQ] and 10 uM ATP were prepared in a mixture of fresh reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Brij35, 0.02 mg/ml BSA, 0.1 mM Na3V04, 2 mM DTT, 1% DMSO. The kinase was delivered into the substrate solution which was gently mixed. Compounds in 100% DMSO were added to the kinase reaction mixture by Acoustic technology (Echo550; nanoliter range) and the mixture was incubated for 20 min at room temperature. 33P-ATP (Specific activity 10 uCi/uL) was added into the reaction mixture to initiate the reaction and the whole was incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. Radioactivity was detected by filter-binding method and kinase activity data were expressed as the percent remaining kinase activity in test samples compared to vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide) reactions. IC50 values and curve fits were obtained using Prism (GraphPad Software). Compounds having an IC50 value between 0.1 nM and 10 nM are denoted as ++++, 10 nM and 100 nM as +++, 100 nM and 1000 nM as ++, and 1000 nM to 10,000 nM as +.

Lysine-based Bioconjugation
[0402] An antibody construct can be conjugated to a linker via lysine-based bioconjugation. An antibody construct can be exchanged into an appropriate buffer, for example, phosphate, borate, PBS, Tris-Acetate, Tris-Glycine, HEPES, MOPS, MES, EPS, HEPPS, Histidine, or HEPBS at a concentration of about 2 mg/mL to about 10 mg/mL. An appropriate number of equivalents of a heterocyclic compound, e.g., a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), or (IIIc) described herein, can be added as a solution with stirring. Dependent on the physical properties of the heterocyclic compound-linker construct, a co-solvent can be introduced prior to the addition of the heterocyclic compound- linker construct to facilitate solubility. The reaction can be stirred at room temperature for 2 hours to about 12 hours depending on the observed reactivity. The progression of the reaction can be monitored by LC-MS. Once the reaction is deemed complete, the remaining heterocyclic compound-linker constructs can be removed by applicable methods and the antibody construct- heterocyclic compound conjugate can be exchanged into the desired formulation buffer. Lysine- linked conjugates can be synthesized starting with antibody (mAb) or bispecific antibody (bsAb) and equivalents (e.g., 10 equivalents) of the heterocyclic compound-linker construct following Scheme A below (Conjugate = antibody construct-heterocyclic compound conjugate). Monomer content and heterocyclic compound-antibody construct ratios (molar ratios) can be determined by methods described herein.

Cysteine-based Bioconjugation
[0403] An antibody construct can be conjugated to a linker via cysteine-based bioconjugation. An antibody construct can be exchanged into an appropriate buffer, for example, phosphate, borate, PBS, Tris-Acetate, Tris-Glycine, HEPES, MOPS, MES, EPS, HEPPS, HEPBS or Histidine at a concentration of about 2 mg/mL to about 10 mg/mL with an appropriate number of equivalents of a reducing agent, for example, dithiothreitol or tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine. The resultant solution can be stirred for an appropriate amount of time and temperature to effect the desired reduction. A heterocyclic compound, e.g., a compound or salt of any one of Formulas (I), (la), (lb), (II), (Ila), (lib), (lie), (III), (Ilia), (Illb), or (IIIc) described herein, can be added as a solution with stirring. Dependent on the physical properties of the heterocyclic compound- linker construct, a co-solvent can be introduced prior to the addition of the heterocyclic compound-linker construct to facilitate solubility. The reaction can be stirred at room
temperature for about 1 hour to about 12 hours depending on the observed reactivity. The progression of the reaction can be monitored by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC- MS). Once the reaction is deemed complete, the remaining free heterocyclic compound-linker construct can be removed by applicable methods and the antibody construct-heterocyclic compound conjugate can be exchanged into the desired formulation buffer. Such cysteine-based conjugates can be synthesized starting with antibody (mAb) and equivalents (e.g., 7 equivalents) of heterocyclic compound-linker construct using the conditions described in Scheme B below (Conjugate = antibody construct-heterocyclic compound conjugate). Monomer content and drug-antibody ratios can be determined by methods described herein.

General Procedure for the Determination of the Drug-Antibody-Ratios
Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography
[0404] 10 μΙ_, of a 6 mg/mL solution of a conjugate is injected into an HPLC system set-up with a TOSOH TSKgel Butyl-NPR TM hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) column (2.5 μΜ particle size, 4.6 mm x 35 mm) attached. Then, over the course of 18 minutes, a method is run in which the mobile phase gradient runs from 100% mobile phase A to 100% mobile phase B over the course of several minutes, followed by a several-minute re-equilibration at 100% mobile phase A. The flow rate may be 0.8 mL/min and the detector may be set at 280 nM.
Mobile phase A may be 1.5 M ammonium sulfate, 25 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7). Mobile phase B may be 25% isopropanol in 25 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7). Post-run, the
chromatogram may be integrated and the molar ratio determined by summing the weighted peak area.
Mass Spectrometry
[0405] One microgram of conjugate is injected into an LC/MS such as an Agilent 6550 iFunnel Q-TOF equipped with an Agilent Dual Jet Stream ESI source coupled with Agilent 1290 Infinity UHPLC system. Raw data is obtained and is deconvoluted with software such as Agilent MassHunter Qualitative Analysis Software with BioConfirm using the Maximum Entropy deconvolution algorithm. The average mass of intact conjugates is calculated by the software, which may use top peak height at 25% for the calculation. This data is then imported into another program to calculate the molar ratio of the conjugate such as Agilent molar ratio calculator.
[0406] The procedures outlined in the preceding examples were used to prepare constructs comprising compounds disclosed herein and the anti-Her2 antibody pertuzumab. The percentage of monomers was calculated based on size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Drug antibody ratios were calculated as described above.
Construct % Monomer (SEC) DAR
