Description

Integrin-mediated drug targeting
The marked lectin pattern on tumour cell surfaces (Gabius; Onkologie 12, (1989), 175) opens up the fundamental possibility of addressing these specifically on tumour cells by linkage of appropriate carbohydrate units to cytostatics. This prospect is restricted - by the fact that, even in other tissues, in particular in the liver, lectins having similar carbohydrate specificities (galactose, lactose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, fucose etc.) occur (Ashwell et al., Annu. Rev. Biochem. 46 (1982), 531; Stahl et al. Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 74 (1977), 1521; Hill et al., J. Biol. Chem. 262 (1986), 7433; Jansen et al., J. Biol. Chem. 266 (1991), 3343). Accordingly, a marked concentration of active compound-containing glycoconjugates in the liver and other lectin-rich organs must be expected if, in this approach, carbohydrates are used without particular modification establishing a selectivity to tumour tissue.
The heterocyclic amine batracylin (1) shows a good antitumour action in various stom- ach cancer models (US-4 757 072). oo

Peptide conjugates of (1) having good in-vitro action and more favourable solubility properties (US-4 180 343) are more poorly tolerable in animal experiments than free batracylin. The fucose conjugates of batracylin (1) described in EP-A-0 501 250 disad- vantageously concentrate very strongly in the liver.
Quinolone-a (2), 7-[(32-R,S, 4-R,S, 7a-S,R)-4-amino-1,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-iso-in- dol-2-yl]-8-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, also shows, in addition to its outstanding antibacterial activity, a very good activ- ] ity against various tumour cell lines (EP-A-0 520 240, JP-4 253 973). However, con-
siderable toxicological problems face it (e.g. genotoxicity, bone marrow toxicity, high acute toxicity in vivo etc.). : o sees an : z N N

¥ : (2) (quinolone-a) 20(S)-Camptothecin is a pentacyclic alkaloid which was isolated in 1966 by Wall et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 88, 3888 (1966)). It has a high active antitumour potential in numerous in-vitro and in-vivo tests. Unfortunately, however, the realization of the promising potential in the clinical investigation phase failed because of toxicity and solubility problems.
By opening of the E ring lactone and formation of the sodium salt, a water-soluble compound was obtained which is in a pH-dependent equilibrium with the ring-closed form. Here too, clinical studies have not led to success as yet. oo Oo OH

About 20 years later, it was found that the biological activity is to be attributed to enzyme inhibition of topoisomerase I. Since then, the research activities have again been increased in order to find a camptothecin derivative which is more tolerable and which is active in vivo.
For improvement of the water solubility, salts of A ring- and B ring-modified camp- tothecin derivatives and of 20-O-acyl derivatives with ionizable groups have been described (Vishnuvajjala et al. US 4 943 579). The latter prodrug concept was later also transferred to modified camptothecin derivatives (Wani et al. WO 9602546).
The described 20-O-acyl prodrugs, however, have a very short half-life in vivo and are very rapidly cleaved to give the parent structure.
WO 96/31532 describes carbohydrate-modified cytostatics in which both serum stabil- ity and release of the cytostatic within the tumour cells and a specific concentration of the cytostatic in tumour tissue is achieved by a novel linkage of selectively modified carbohydrates to cytostatics (for example batracylin, quinolone-a, camptothecin) via preferred spacer and linker groups. .
Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane proteins found on the surface of cells, which play an important part in the adhesion of the cells to an extracellular matrix.
They recognize extracellular glycoproteins such as fibronectin or vitronectin on the extracellular matrix via the RGD sequence occurring in these proteins (RGD is the single-letter code for the amino acid sequence arginine-glycine-aspartate).
In general, integrins such as, for example, the vitronectin receptor, which is also called the a8; receptor, or alternatively the a.,85 receptor or the GplIIb/HIa receptor play an important part in biological processes such as cell migration, angiogenesis and cell-matrix adhesion and thus for diseases in which these processes are crucial : steps. Cancer, osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, restenosis and ophthalmia may be men- tioned by way of example.
The a.,8; receptor occurs, for example, in large amounts on growing endothelial cells and makes possible their adhesion to an extracellular matrix. The , j3receptor thus plays an important part in angiogenesis, i.e. the formation of new blood vessels, which is a crucial prerequisite for tumour growth and metastasis formation in carci- nomatous disorders.
It was possible to show that the blockade of the abovementioned receptors is an im- portant starting point for the treatment of disorders of this type. If the adhesion of growing endothelial cells to an extracellular matrix is suppressed by blocking their corresponding integrin receptors, for example, by a cyclic peptide or a monoclonal antibody, the endothelial cells die. Angiogenesis therefore does not occur, which leads to a stoppage or regression of tumour growth (cf., for example, Brooks et al.,
Cell, Volume 79, 1157-1164, 1994).
Moreover, the invasive properties of tumour cells and thus their capability to form metastases markedly decrease when their a,B3 receptor is blocked by an antibody (Brooks et al., J. Clin. Invest., Volume 96, 1815, 1995).
WO 98/10795 describes conjugates in which a molecule adding to tumours is linked to a functional unit such as, for example, a cytostatic or a detectable label such as, for example, a radioactive nuclide. Inter alia, integrin antagonists such as, for example, peptides having the RGD sequence described above are described as molecules add- ing to tumours. Doxorubicin is described as an example of a cytostatic which is linked to a molecule of this type addressing tumours.
In the case of the compounds of WO 98/10795, the linkage is carried out such that the molecule addressing a tumour and the functional unit are directly bonded to one another with retention of their respective properties (cf., for example, p. 56, 1. 17, to p- 58, 1. 10, and Ex. 6). This has the result that these compounds are indeed selec- tively concentrated in the immediate vicinity of tumour cells by binding of the entity addressing a tumour (in the case of a radical having 83 integrin-antagonistic action "by binding to the a8; integrin receptor which, in particular, is expressed on endothelial cells newly formed by angiogenesis), but on account of the direct combination the functional unit such as, for example, a cytostatic cannot be released into the intracellu- lar space of the tumour tissue.
Fundamentally, the conjugate which on the one hand is selectively concentrated in tumour tissue by the effect of a part addressing 83 or a8 integrin receptors found in the conjugate, but on the other hand comprises a cytostatic which can be released from the conjugate, should have an increased toxophoric effect on tumour tissue due to the possibility of the more direct action of the cytostatic on the tumour cells compared "with the conjugates described in WO 98/10795.
It was therefore the object of the present invention to develop conjugates which com- prise a moiety addressing o.,83 or a, 85 integrin receptors and a cytostatic which can be released from the conjugate, where the moiety in the conjugate addressing a, 8; or o,8s integrin receptors retains its ability to bind to the 0.83 or 8s integrin receptor.
The above object is achieved by conjugates which comprise a non-peptide moiety ad- dressing a8; or a.Bs integrin receptors, a cytostatic and a linking unit which is enzy- matically or hydrolytically cleavable with release of the cytostatic. Conjugates having a : non-peptide moiety addressing «83 integrin receptors are particularly preferred here.
In principle, medicament-containing conjugates are complex, difficult-to-prepare com- pounds, as is explained, for example, in Anti-Cancer Drug Design 10 (1995), 1-9, in particular p. 1. In this article, conjugates of the cytostatic methotrexate, an oligopeptide spacer and a protein (human serum albumin) are described. However, it is also pointed out (cf. p. 7, first paragraph) that the nature of the linking unit and the type of linkage of this unit to the toxophore and the carrier (for example an antibody) can affect the cleav- age of the linking unit. This article therefore teaches that the linkage presented there cannot be transferred to other conjugate systems without difficulty. In particular, noth- ing is said about whether moieties addressed also to a.,83 or a,8s integrin receptors in this manner can be linked to toxophores without the moiety addressing a8; or a, Bs integrin receptors by this means losing its ability to bind to a.83 or a,Bs integrin re- ceptors.
The linking units disclosed in WO 96/31532 are used specifically for the linkage of a toxophore to an oligosaccharide radical. Nothing is said about whether moieties ad- dressed also to a8; or a, 85 integrin receptors can be linked to toxophores in this man- ner, without, by this means, the moiety addressing o,8; or a,8s integrin receptors los- ing its ability to bind to a, 83 or a,B85 integrin receptors.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the linking unit can be cleaved by tumour-associated enzymes. This leads to a further increase in the tissue specificity of the conjugates according to the invention and thus to an additional de- crease of the conjugates according to the invention in other tissue types.
According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the linking unit can be cleaved by enzymes which are coupled to antibodies with selectivity for tumour tissue and are thus addressed to tumour tissue. This is also called the ADEPT approach. This likewise leads to a further increase in the tissue specificity of the conjugates according to the invention and thus to an additional decrease of the conjugates according to the invention in other tissue types.
Particularly preferred conjugates according to the present invention are those of the general formula (I)
