Description

The present application is based on the application with the CN application number 202110615166.4 and application date of Jun. 2, 2021, and the application with the CN application number 202111225483.1 and application date of Oct. 21, 2021, and claims their priorities. The disclosure of these CN applications is hereby incorporated into the present application in its entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel linker used for chemical coupling, an antibody-drug conjugate and corresponding composition prepared therefrom, as well as preparation method and application thereof in the treatment of tumor-related diseases.


BACKGROUND ART

In recent years, antibody-drug conjugates have become one of the hot directions of precise tumor treatment, which bringing hope for tumor treatment. Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is composed of a monoclonal antibody drug targeting a specific antigen and a small-molecule cytotoxic drug conjugated through a linker, which has both the powerful killing effect of traditional small-molecule chemotherapy and the tumor-targeting of antibody drug. As of April 2021, with the approval of Zynlonta, 12 ADC drugs have been approved for marketing worldwide, of which 7 are used to treat hematological tumors and 5 are used to treat solid tumors.


An antibody-drug conjugate is composed of an antibody, a linker, a payload, and a conjugation mode. The conjugation mode refers to the connection mode between the antibody and the drug-linker. Conjugation modes are mainly divided into non-site-specific conjugation and site-specific conjugation. In the early days, the non-site-specific conjugation mode was used, mainly by lysine conjugation and cysteine conjugation. The drug was directly conjugated with an amino acid residue on the antibody by chemical method, which did not involve the transformation or modification of the antibody, both the number of cytotoxins conjugated and the conjugation site were uncertain, and the uniformity was poor. At present, the commonly used site-specific conjugation mode is specific conjugation through genetic engineering sites or special connectors to achieve more uniform conjugation, which can realize the connection of cytotoxins at specific site. The antibody-drug conjugates produced by site-specific conjugation can reduce the fluctuation of efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and CMC quality control caused by differences in conjugation sites and conjugation number.


Currently, the common site-specific conjugation methods include THIOMAB technology, unnatural amino acid conjugation technology, glutamine enzymatic conjugation technology, Sortase transpeptidase conjugation technology, and ThioBridge technology. Among them, the modification of antibody using antibody engineering or enzymatic conjugation may have a certain impact on the structural stability of the antibody, and at the same time have certain requirements for CMC. In addition, the partial ThioBridge technology using chemical conjugation also have certain defects, for example, DBM (dibromomaleimides) linkers may undergo substitution with other sulfhydryl-containing biological groups, and thus are unstable in plasma, resulting in the decrease of drug efficacy and increased toxic and side effects (Chem.—Eur. J., 2019, 25, 43-59). Therefore, it is still of great significance to develop novel linker structures for developing antibody-drug conjugates with good efficacy and safety.


Contents of the Present Invention

One object of the present application is to provide a novel linker for chemical conjugation. This type of linker has high reactivity, mild conjugation conditions, easy to operate, and can realize site-specific conjugation, and the obtained bioactive conjugate has good uniformity and plasma stability, as well as clear drug efficacy in vivo and in vitro.

If a carbon of a substituent is described as being optionally substituted with one or more of the listed substituents, one or more hydrogens on the carbon (to the extent of any hydrogen present) may be individually and/or together substituted by the independently selected optional substituent. If a nitrogen of a substituent is described as being optionally substituted with one or more of the listed substituents, one or more hydrogens on the nitrogen (to the extent of any hydrogen present) may each be substituted by the independently selected optional substituent.


If substituents are described as being “independently selected from” a group, each substituent is selected independently between each other. Accordingly, each substituent may be the same as or different from another (other) substituent.


As used herein, the term “one or more” means 1 or more than 1, such as 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10, under reasonable conditions.


As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the linking site of a substituent may be from any suitable position of the substituent.


When a substituent has a bond that is shown to pass through a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, such substituent may be bonded to any ring-forming atom in the ring to be substituted.


The present invention also comprises all pharmaceutically acceptable isotopically labeled compounds which are identical to the compounds of the present invention except that one or more atoms have been substituted with the corresponding atoms that have same atomic number but different atomic mass or mass number from the atomic mass or mass number prevailing in nature.


Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in compounds of the present invention include, but are not limited to, isotopes of hydrogen (e.g., deuterium (2H), tritium (3H)); isotopes of carbon (e.g., 11C, 13C, and 14C); isotopes of chlorine (e.g., 36Cl); isotopes of fluorine (e.g., 18F); isotopes of iodine (e.g., 123I and 1251); isotopes of nitrogen (e.g., 13N and 15N); isotopes of oxygen (e.g., 15O, 17O and 18O); isotopes of phosphorus (e.g., 32P); and isotopes of sulfur (e.g., 35S).


The term “stereoisomer” refers to an isomer formed as a result of at least one asymmetric center. If a compound has one or more (e.g., one, two, three or four) asymmetric centers, it can give rise to a racemic mixture, a single enantiomer, a diastereomeric mixture and an individual diastereoisomer. Certain individual molecules may also be present as geometric isomers (cis/trans).


Similarly, the compound of the present invention may exist as a mixture of two or more structurally distinct forms (commonly referred to as tautomers) in rapid equilibrium. Representative examples of tautomers include keto-enol tautomers, phenol-keto tautomers, nitroso-oxime tautomers, imine-enamine tautomers, etc. It should be understood that the scope of the present application encompasses all such isomers or mixtures thereof in any ratios (e.g., 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%).


Carbon-carbon bond of the compound of the present invention may be depicted herein using custom-charactersolid line (custom-character), solid wedge (custom-character), or dashed wedge (custom-character). The use of a solid line in custom-characterdelineating a bond to an asymmetric carbon atom is intended to indicate that all possible stereoisomers resulted from that carbon atom are included (e.g., specific enantiomers, racemic mixture, etc.). The use of a solid or dashed wedge in delineating a bond to an asymmetric carbon atom is intended to indicate the stereoisomer as shown. When being used in a racemic mixture, solid and dashed wedges are to define relative stereochemistry rather than absolute stereochemistry. Unless otherwise indicated, the compound of the present invention is intended to be present in the form of stereoisomers (which include cis and trans isomers, optical isomers (e.g., R and S enantiomers), diastereomers, geometric isomers, rotamers, conformational isomers, atropisomers, and any mixture thereof). The compound of the present invention may exhibit more than one type of isomerism and consist of a mixture thereof (e.g., racemic mixture and pairs of diastereoisomers).


The present invention encompasses all possible crystalline forms or polymorphs of the compound of the present invention, which may be a single polymorph or a mixture of more than one polymorphs in any ratio.


It will also be understood that certain compounds of the present invention may exist in free form for use in therapy, or, where appropriate, in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof. In the present invention, the pharmaceutically acceptable derivative includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, solvate, N-oxide, metabolite or prodrug, when it is administered to a patient in need thereof, it can directly or indirectly provide the compound of the present invention or metabolite or residue thereof. Therefore, when a “compound of the present invention” is referred to herein, it is also intended to cover the above-mentioned various derivative forms of the compound.


The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of the present invention includes acid addition salt and base addition salt thereof.


Suitable acid addition salts are formed from acids which can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Examples include aspartate, benzoate, bicarbonate/carbonate, glucoheptonate, gluconate, nitrate, orotate, palmitate and other similar salts.


Suitable base addition salts are formed from bases which can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Examples include aluminum salts, arginine salts, choline salts, magnesium salts and other similar salts.


A review of suitable salts is referred to “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use” by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, 2002). Methods for preparing pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art.


As used herein, the term “ester” refers to an ester derived from each of the compounds of the general Formula in the present application, including physiologically hydrolyzable ester (hydrolyze under physiological conditions to release the compound of the present invention in the form of free acid or alcohol). The compound of the present invention may also itself be ester.


The compound of the present invention may exist in the form of solvate, preferably hydrate, wherein the compound of the present invention comprises a polar solvent, such as water, methanol or ethanol in particular, as a structural element of the crystal lattice of the compound. The amount of polar solvent, especially water, may be present in a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric ratio.


Those skilled in the art will appreciate that not all nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rings are capable of forming N-oxides since nitrogen requires available lone pair of electrons for oxidization to form oxides; those skilled in the art will recognize a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring capable of forming N-oxide. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that tertiary amines are capable of forming N-oxides. Synthetic methods for the preparation of N-oxides of heterocycles and tertiary amines are well known to those skilled in the art, including oxidizing heterocycles and tertiary amines with peroxyacid such as peracetic acid and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA), hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxide such as t-butyl hydroperoxide, sodium perborate and dioxirane such as dimethyldioxirane. These methods for preparing N-oxides have been extensively described and reviewed in the literature, see for example: T. L. Gilchrist, Comprehensive Organic Synthesis, vol. 7, pp 748-750; A. R. Katritzky and A. J. Boulton, Eds., Academic Press and G. W. H. Cheeseman and E. S. G. Werstiuk, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, vol. 22, pp 390-392, A. R. Katritzky and A. J. Boulton, Eds., Academic Press.


Also included within the scope of the present invention is a metabolite of the compound of the present invention, i.e., a substance formed in vivo upon administration of the compound of the present invention. Such product may result, for example, from oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, deamidation, esterification, enzymatic hydrolysis, etc., of the administered compound. Accordingly, the present invention comprises a metabolite of the compound of the present invention, including a compound produced by a method of contacting the compound of the present invention with a mammal for a time sufficient to produce a metabolite thereof.


The present invention further includes within its scope a prodrug of the compound of the present invention, which is a certain derivative of the compound of the present invention and may have little or no pharmacological activity per se, but can be converted to the compound of the present invention having the desired activity by, for example, hydrolytic cleavage, when administered into or on the body. Typically, such prodrug may be a functional group derivative of the compound, which can be readily converted in vivo into the compound with the desired therapeutic activity. Additional information on the use of prodrugs can be found in “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems”, Volume 14, ACS Symposium Series (T. Higuchi and V. Stella). The prodrug of the present invention can be prepared, for example, by substituting an appropriate functional group present in the compound of the present invention with a certain moiety known to those skilled in the art as “pro-moiety (e.g., described in “Design of Prodrugs”, H. Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985))”.


The present invention also encompasses the compound of the present invention which contains a protecting group. During any processes for preparing the compound of the present invention, it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect a sensitive or reactive group on any of the molecules involved, thereby forming a chemically protected form of the compound of the present invention. This can be accomplished by using conventional protecting groups, for example, those described in T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 1991, and these references are incorporated herein by reference. Protecting groups may be removed at an appropriate subsequent stage using methods known in the art.
