Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of biomedicine technology, and in particular, to an enzyme-cleavable linker and a ligand-eribulin conjugate comprising the same.
  • Antibody-Drug Conjugate is produced by coupling a small molecule drug with biological activity to a monoclonal antibody (mAb) through a linker.
  • mAb monoclonal antibody
  • most ADCs are made by coupling an antibody targeting a tumor antigen with a small molecule chemical drug with high cytotoxicity through a linker.
  • the small molecule drug is delivered to tumor cells by using the specific binding characteristics of the antibody and the target antigen to kill the tumor.
  • proteins and peptides that have specific binding properties similar to antibodies, such as specifically bound ligands, antigens and peptides, coupled to linker toxins.
  • Linkers are one of the key factors related to drug stability and therapeutic window. First of all, linkers need to have a certain degree of stability, so as to ensure the integrity of ADC during blood circulation before reaching tumor cells, avoid premature release of toxins leading to off-target toxicity, and affect the therapeutic window of ADC drugs. After entering the target cells, the linker must ensure the effective release of toxins to play a killing role. Peptide linkers are a more common cleavable linker. As of September 2022, more than ten ADC drugs have been approved for marketing. Most of them couple toxins to monoclonal antibody cysteine residues through peptide linker connectors. The peptides can be cut off by the tissue proteases of tumor cells to release toxins and produce anti-tumor effects.

本申请要求于2022年10月20日提交的申请号为“CN202211287874.0”、发明名称为“酶裂解连接子及包含其的配体-艾瑞布林偶联物”,以及于2023年07月12日提交的申请号为“CN202310853999.3”的专利申请的优先权,其内容通过引用整体并入本文。
技术领域
本公开涉及生物医药技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种酶裂解连接子及包含其的配体-艾瑞布林偶联物。
背景技术
抗体偶联药物(Antibody-Drug Conjugate,ADC)是通过连接子(linker)将具有生物活性的小分子药物偶联至单克隆抗体(单抗)上而产生的。目前绝大部分ADC是由靶向肿瘤抗原的抗体通过连接子与高效细胞毒性的小分子化学药物偶联而成,利用抗体与靶抗原特异性结合的特点,将小分子药物靶向递送至肿瘤细胞进而发挥杀伤肿瘤的作用。也有将特异性结合的配体、抗原和多肽等具有与抗体相似的特异性结合性质的蛋白及多肽偶联连接子毒素的。
连接子是关系到药物稳定性和治疗窗口的关键之一。首先,连接子需要具备一定的稳定性,从而在未达到肿瘤细胞之前,能确保ADC在血液循环过程中的完整性,避免提前释放毒素导致脱靶毒性,影响ADC药物的治疗窗口。而在进入靶细胞后,连接子要确保毒素的有效释放,发挥杀伤作用。多肽连接子是一种较为常见的可裂解连接子。截止2022年9月,已经有十个以上ADC药物被批准上市,多数通过将毒素经多肽连接子接头偶联于单克隆抗体半胱氨酸残基上,多肽可被肿瘤细胞的组织蛋白酶切断从而释放毒素,产生抗肿瘤作用。
现在临床研究中最常用的是缬氨酸-瓜氨酸(VC),已上市药物Adcetris 即采用这种连接子将MMAE与抗体相连。还有一些ADCs药物采用缬氨酸-丙氨酸(VA)和甘氨酸-甘氨酸-苯丙氨酸-甘氨酸(GGFG),如SGN-CD33A,Loncastuximab tesirine和DS-8201a。
艾瑞布林(艾日布林,Eribulin)作为抗体偶联物的毒素,其分子量大,结构复杂,亲水性较好。分子量大需要筛选合适长度连接子,结构复杂可能不同的连接子由于空间位阻酶切释放效率不同,亲水性好比较适合制备一个抗体分子偶联多个毒素的高偶联比值偶联物。PEG作为一种连接子常用的组件,其亲水性好、稳定性好,常用PEG长度为2~8个,但是其光吸收不明显,合成较为复杂。
发明内容
本公开首次发现了VAGGFG作为酶裂解连接子的应用。
配体-药物偶联物或其药学上可接受的盐或溶剂化物,所述配体-药物偶联物的通式为TL-(L-D)n;
其中,TL为靶向配体,L为接头单元,D为艾瑞布林,n为1~20的正整数;
L中包含短肽VAGGFG作为酶裂解连接子。
本公开还涉及如上所述的配体-药物偶联物的制备方法、药物组合物及医药用途。
本公开所新发现的连接子,其具有显著提升的药物释放效率,对肿瘤细胞的杀伤能力更强,在配体-药物偶联物中具有很好的应用前景。

在一些实施方式中,-L1-L2-为且s1为2、3、4、5、6、7或8。
在一些实施方式中,L4为对氨基苄氧羰基(PAB)。
在一些实施方式中,所述靶向配体为抗体或其抗原结合片段。
本文使用的术语“抗体”以它的最广泛意义使用,包括包含一个或更多个特异性结合抗原的抗原结合结构域的免疫球蛋白或其他类型分子,为对特定抗原表现出结合特异性的蛋白质或多肽。抗体的具体实例可包括完整抗体(例如经典四链抗体分子)、单链抗体、单域抗体、双特异性抗体、多特异性抗体等。经典抗体分子通常为由2个相同重链和2个相同轻链通过二硫键相互连接组成的四聚体。根据氨基酸序列的保守性差异,将重链和轻链分为位于氨基端的可变区(V)和位于羧基端的恒定区(C)。可变区用于识别和结合抗原,恒定区(如Fc片段)用于启动下游效应,比如抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒作用(ADCC)。在重链和轻链的可变区内,分别有三个局部区域的氨基酸组成和排列顺序具有更高的变异程度,为抗体与抗原结合的关键位置,因而也称为互补决定区(CDR)。CDR的氨基酸序列可以使用本领域公认的编号方案,例如Kabat、Chothia、IMGT、AbM或Contact容易地确定。抗体可以为IgG、IgM、IgD、IgE或IgA抗体。
抗体的“抗原结合片段”指抗体分子中参与抗原特异性结合的氨基酸片段,例如,F(ab')2、Fab以及scFv中的一种。
术语“F(ab')2”是由胃蛋白酶消化整个全长抗体去除大部分Fc区同时完整保留一些铰链区后得到的。F(ab')2片段具有通过二硫键连接在一起的两个抗原结合Fab部分,因此F(ab')2片段为双价抗体,以IgG抗体制备得到的F(ab')2为例,分子量为约110kDa。
术语“Fab”是仍可与抗原结合的抗体结构,其为单价并且不含Fc部分。木瓜蛋白酶消化全长抗体后得到两个Fab片段以及一个Fc片段,每个Fab片段均为约50kDa。
术语“scFv”是由抗体重链可变区和轻链可变区通过短肽连接成一条肽链而构成。通过正确折叠,来自重链和轻链的可变区通过非共价键相互作用形成Fv段,因而scFv能较好地保留其对抗原的亲和活性。
在一些实施方式中,所述抗体或其抗原结合片段选自兔源抗体、鼠源抗体、嵌合抗体、人源化抗体或全人源抗体。
“兔源抗体/鼠源抗体”是指可变区和恒定区(如果存在的话)衍生自兔/鼠免疫球蛋白序列的抗体。兔源抗体/鼠源抗体可方便地以相应抗原免疫兔/鼠(包括小鼠或大鼠)并从其分离目的抗体而获得。或者,在以相应抗原免疫兔/鼠后,分离并培养表达目的抗体的细胞(如B细胞)而获得。又或者,在以相应抗原免疫兔/鼠后,分离并培养表达目的抗体的细胞,将其与永生化细胞如骨髓瘤细胞融合而获得杂交瘤细胞,培养杂交瘤细胞则可长期和大量获得目的抗体(如单克隆抗体)。
术语“嵌合抗体(chimeric antibody)”,是将第一动物源性抗体的可变区与第二动物源性的抗体的恒定区融合而成的抗体。建立嵌合抗体,要先建立分泌第一动物源性特异性单抗的杂交瘤,然后从杂交瘤细胞中克隆可变区基因,再根据需要克隆第二动物源性抗体的恒定区基因,将第一动物源性可变区基因与第二动物源性恒定区基因连接成嵌合基因后插入表达载体中,最后在真核系统或原核系统中表达嵌合抗体分子。在本公开一个优选的实施方案中,第一动物源性为兔源或鼠源,第二动物源性优选为人源,可以减轻第一动物源性抗体诱发的免疫应答反应。所述嵌合抗体的抗体轻链进一步包含人源κ、λ链或其变体的轻链恒定区。所述嵌合抗体的抗体重链进一步包含人源IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4或其变体的重链恒定区。抗体恒定区的亚型、不同人的异构体和基于恒定区效应功能的变化产生的突变不影响抗体偶联物的制备。连接子毒素偶联位点比如半胱氨酸、赖氨酸、谷氨酰胺、肽链羧基末端和糖基化位点等,包括天然位点和工程化改造位点,这些位点一般用于偶联。
术语“人源化抗体(humanized antibody)”,也称为CDR移植抗体(CDR-grafted antibody),是指将第一动物源性的CDR序列移植到人的抗体可变区框架,即不同类型的人种系抗体构架序列中产生的抗体。可以克服嵌合抗体由于携带大量第一动物源性蛋白成分,从而诱导的异源性反应。此类构架序列可以从包括种系抗体基因序列的公共DNA数据库或公开的参考文献获得。如人重链和轻链可变区基因的种系DNA序列可以在“VBase”人种系序列数据库(www.mrccpe.com.ac.uk/vbase)获得,以及在Kabat,E.A. 等人,1991,Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,第5版中找到。为避免免疫原性下降的同时,引起的活性下降,可对所述的人抗体可变区框架序列进行最少反向突变或回复突变,以保持活性。本公开的人源化抗体也包括进一步由噬菌体展示对CDR进行亲和力成熟后的人源化抗体。在本公开一个优选的实施方案中,第一动物源性为兔源或鼠源。人的抗体可变区框架经过设计选择。为避免免疫原性下降的同时,引起的活性下降,可对所述的人抗体可变区可进行最少反向突变,以保持活性。

实施例5不同ADC的效果的体外比较
一、检测方法
1.细胞活性检测
将人Calu-6(厂家Procell,货号CL-327,人肺癌细胞)复苏,接种96孔培养板,培养基为DMEM/F12(厂家Hyclone,货号SH30023.01)且含10%FBS(厂家Gibco,货号10099141),每孔2500个细胞,体积150微升,置于37℃,5%二氧化碳培养箱培养,约20小时后加入含有不同抗体偶联药物的培养基50微升,使药物最终浓度在0~100nM之间的12个稀释浓度(首孔浓度100nM,后续依次5倍稀释10个梯度,最后一个梯度药物为0,每个样品复孔重复),继续共培养4~7天后取出培养板,每孔加入CTG检测试剂50微升(CellTiterGlo,厂家Promega,货号G7575),反应2分钟,按试剂盒推荐操作进行,然后用Tecan Spark测定荧光度值。将复孔取平均值并作为Y轴,以稀释梯度log10值为X轴,做平滑曲线图,按照四参数计算EC/IC50值。
采用类似的细胞活性检测方法,可将细胞系替换为Jurket、MCF-7和MDA-MB-468进行再次验证。
2.偶联比值检测分析
抗体所连接药物数量的平均值(DAR)值通过疏水层析HIC-HPLC方法检测,分析柱为TSKgel Butyl-NPR,4.6mm×10cm,2.5微米,厂家TOSOH,货号042168。取待测样品约0.3mg,体积为150微升,加入150微升的流动相A,10000g离心5分钟取上清。流动相A为20mM磷酸钠+1.5M硫酸铵pH7.0,流动相B为20mM磷酸钠+20%(v/v)乙腈pH7.0。分析柱连接在安捷伦1260高效液相色谱仪,流速0.6ml/min,流动相A冲洗30分钟以上至280nm紫外基线平稳,进样50微克样品,流动相A冲洗2分钟后进行18分钟梯度洗脱(0%B–100%B),继续保持100%流动相B冲洗5分钟后结束。根据每个DAR值的峰面积计算每个DAR值占百分比。将每个峰的百分比与DAR值乘积后累加,然后除以总百分比即为平均DAR值。
3.纯度检测分析
SEC-HPLC纯度通过分子筛方法检测,分析柱为TSKgel G3000SWXL,7.8mm x 30cm,5微米,厂家TOSOH,货号08541。取待测样品约0.3mg,体积为300微升,10000g离心5分钟取上清。流动相为50mM磷酸钠+0.1M氯化钠pH6.8。分析柱连接在安捷伦1260高效液相色谱仪,流速0.8ml/min,流动相冲洗30分钟以上至280nm紫外基线平稳,进样100微克样品,流动相冲洗20分钟。根据峰面积计算高分子、单体、低分子各个峰占百分比。
二、检测结果
1.细胞活性检测结果
抗体7B7-H04偶联MC-VA-PAB-Eribulin,Mal-PEG2-VC-PAB-Eribulin,MC-GGFG-PAB-Eribulin和MC-VAGGFG-PAB-Eribulin,偶联物针对Calu6细胞活性EC/IC50显示,EC/IC50分别是115.9pM、29.97pM,62.32pM和11.40pM(图1),即MC-VAGGFG-PAB-Eribulin的效果显著优于其他各组。
对于7B7偶联Mal-PEG2-VC-PAB-Eribulin和MC-VAGGFG-PAB-Eribulin,EC/IC50分别是50.23pM和9.241pM(图1),依然是MC-VAGGFG-PAB-Eribulin取得了更佳的技术效果。
在除Calu-6细胞系外的其他细胞系中检测得到的EC/IC50趋势与上述相似,均是MC-VAGGFG-PAB-Eribulin效果最优。
2.偶联比值和纯度结果
各组的偶联物平均DAR值和SEC-HPLC纯度结果如图2和下表所示:

偶联物平均DAR值为3.33,3.27和3.31(图2),说明VAGGFG的多肽连接子在偶联比值接近时活性好于GGFG和VA多肽连接子。
采用与上述类似的方法,在其他几种常见的肿瘤细胞系(例如:MCF-7和MDA-MB-468)中进行验证,均有一致的趋势,即相比其他几种偶联物,采用包含VAGGFG连接子的偶联物具有最佳的EC/IC50表现,且平均DAR值和SEC-HPLC纯度表现稳定,满足抗体偶联物要求。
实施例6体内药效学分析
委托Bioduro公司(www.bioduro-sundia.com)进行体内药效评估,取培养良好的人乳腺癌肿瘤细胞系(MDA-MB-468)接种于免疫缺陷型小鼠(B-NDG),每只接种1000万个细胞,至肿瘤生长至100mm3后随机分组,次日,每组按3mg/kg累计给药2次,每周一次,每周两次测定肿瘤大小,至实验结束。整个过程经过实验动物委员会审批通过。
实验结果如图3所示,从结果可知,7B7 MC-VAGGFG-PAB-Eribulin组在对肿瘤体积的抑制方面有效果。
采用同样的动物模型,将细胞系替换为Calu6和MCF-7进行再次验证,每组独立地选自按1~10mg/kg给药(如2、3、4、5、6、7、8或9mg/kg),与MDA-MB-468的实验趋势一致,对肿瘤体积的抑制方面效果最佳。
实施例7稳定性测试
将7B7-MC-VAGGFG-PAB-Eribulin偶联物在PBS缓冲液、食蟹猴血浆和小鼠血浆中测试稳定性,浓度100nM,置于37℃放置0、4、7、10、14天,然后测定样品对Jurket细胞的杀伤活性。发现艾瑞布林释放率(Y轴)随着时间(X轴)延长,最高有0.1~5%比例艾瑞布林释放,显示连接子血浆稳定性非常好。
实施例8其它抗体的偶联测试
