Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular, the present invention relates to a new type of linker structure, a drug-linker compound including the linker structure, and an antibody-drug conjugate including the drug-linker compound, the above-mentioned drugs - Preparation methods and applications of linker compounds and antibody-drug conjugates.
  • ADCs Antibody-drug conjugates
  • conjugates have shown unique advantages over pure antibody drugs, by combining them with tumor cell surface antigen binding specificity.
  • the monoclonal antibody is linked to a biologically active cytotoxin, thereby combining the tumor recognition targeting of the antibody with the high-efficiency killing effect of the cytotoxin. big flaw.
  • ADC can accurately target tumor cells while reducing the impact on normal cells, greatly improving the effectiveness and safety of anti-tumor drugs.
  • ADC generally consists of three parts: antibody, linker and toxin.
  • Antibodies are targeted functional macromolecules of ADCs, which play the role of enriching toxins near the tumor tissue site to improve the killing efficiency of toxins.
  • major popular targets such as HER-2, Trop-2, PDL-1, CD30, etc.
  • ADC linkers are divided into two types: cleavable and non-cleavable.
  • the ideal linker should meet the requirements of "good stability and high release efficiency", that is, the ADC remains stable in the blood circulation and can be quickly released after reaching the tumor cells. toxins, killing tumor cells.
  • the linker is crucial for the ADC to function. An unstable linker will lead to off-target ADC and increase the safety risk, while an overly stable linker will affect the release rate of the toxin, thereby affecting the efficacy of the drug.
  • the toxin part of ADC is a small drug molecule that plays a killing role, and generally kills tumor cells by inhibiting DNA or protein synthesis, inhibiting cell mitosis, and the like.
  • Toxins currently used for ADC development mainly include microtubule inhibitors maytansinoids (see EP0425235, US5208020, US5416064, US7276497) and auristatin (MMAE/MMAF, see US2016304621A).
  • the representative drugs currently on the market are T-DM1 developed by Genetech.
  • T-DM1 is a compound formed by a stable thioether linker MCC (4-[N-maleimidomethyl]cyclohexane-1 - carboxylate) conjugated to an ADC consisting of trastuzumab conjugated to the maytansinoid toxoid DM1 (US8337856).
  • MCC stable thioether linker
  • ADC maytansinoid toxoid DM1
  • Other classes of cytotoxins include Calicheamicin (see US5606040), benzodipyrrole derivatives (duocarmycin, see US7129261), pyrrobenzodiazepines (PBDs, see WO2005/040170) and Derivatives of tree alkaloids.
  • camptothecin derivatives include SN-38, CPT-11, ixatecan, 9-nitrocamptothecin, 10-hydroxycamptothecin and the like.
  • IMMU-132 developed by Immunotherapy Company and DS-8201 developed by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. are ADCs with outstanding clinical effects. They both use camptothecin derivatives as the toxin part of ADC. Among them, IMMU-132 uses a moderately toxic drug SN-38, and DS-8201 uses a highly cytotoxic ixatecan.
  • T-DM1 As far as T-DM1 is concerned, first of all, the efficacy of T-DM1 is insufficient, one is because its DAR is low, only 3-4, and the other is because it uses the linker of SMCC to connect with DM-1, and SMCC is non-degradable. linker, which reduces the efficacy of T-DM1; secondly, T-DM1 uses DM-1 as a toxin, which is a microtubule inhibitor, and the permeability of cell membranes is weak; thirdly, the presence of T-DM1 reduces white blood cells Serious side effects.
  • IMMU-132 As for IMMU-132, first, since SN-38 is moderately toxic, each antibody of IMMU-132 needs to link more toxins (about 7 SN-38 per antibody) to achieve a better effect. However, high drug loading will lead to an increase in the composition of drug multimers, resulting in decreased drug stability, increased toxicity, and increased immunogenicity. Secondly, IMMU-132 uses a moderately stable linker with only one cleavage site. In human serum, the half-life of SN-38 released from IMMU-132 is about 24h, the release time is longer, and the onset is slow.
  • the elimination rate of -132 in humans and mice is relatively fast, the elimination half-life is about 11h, and the average retention time is about 15.4h, which means that the elimination rate of IMMU-132 in vivo is too fast and the drug half-life is too short, which will make The frequency of medication in clinical treatment is relatively high.
  • ixatecan is 10 times more toxic than SN-38, it cannot be used as a single drug due to its strong cell-killing activity. There is also only one enzymatic cleavage site, which also prolongs the onset time of ADC in cells to some extent. In addition, ixatecan has a short half-life in the blood, which reduces the toxicity and side effects, but also faces the risk of a short half-life of the drug.
  • camptothecin-based ADCs there is still a need to develop more effective and safe camptothecin-based ADCs in this field.
  • the preparation has a faster onset time, longer drug half-life, and at the same time, it has the advantages of stability, hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, and anti-aggregation. Camptothecin ADCs with superior safety indicators are imminent.
  • the inventors designed a linker structure suitable for camptothecin derivatives, and used it as a linking structure between camptothecin derivatives and antibodies, so as to form a linker structure with faster onset time, longer drug half-life, and better drug resistance.
  • this ADC has excellent anti-tumor effect.
