Description
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to heterobifunctional molecules, referred to as cytotoxicity targeting chimeras (CyTaCs) or antibody recruiting molecules (ARMs) that are able to simultaneously bind a target cell-surface protein as well as an exogenous antibody protein. The present disclosure also relates to agents capable of binding to a receptor on a surface of a pathogenic cell and inducing the depletion of the pathogenic cell in a subject for use in the treatment of cancer, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, viral infection, or bacterial infection.


BACKGROUND

Cell-surface proteins and their ligands play key roles in a range of inflammatory, infectious, and autoimmune diseases as well tumor initiation, growth and metastasis. Antibody-based therapeutics have promising properties as drug candidates for these indications due to their selectivity for pathogenic cell-surface targets and their ability to direct immune surveillance to target-expressing tissues or cells to induce depletion of the pathogenic cells. Examples of such depletion mechanisms include antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependant cytotocity (CDC). However, antibody-based therapeutics often suffer from a lack of bioavailability, high cost, thermal instability, and difficult manufacturing due to their size, complexity and peptide based structures. Conversely, small molecule therapeutics often provide affordability, stability, and the convenience of oral dosing, but may suffer from poor selectivity and off-target effects, while also lacking the immune control of therapeutic antibodies.


Accordingly, a need exists for improved therapeutic approaches that target pathogenic cells for use in the treatment of disease. Such compositions and related methods are provided in the present disclosure.


SUMMARY

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a heterobifunctional molecule referred to as a cytoxicity targeting chimera (CyTaC) or an antibody recruiting molecule (ARM), wherein the ARM comprises a moiety that binds a target cell-surface protein on a cell and a moiety that binds an exogenous antibody. In a further aspect, the ARM comprises a divalent linker that links the target-binding moiety to the antibody-binding moiety. In a further aspect, the target-binding moiety is a C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2)-binding moiety. In a further aspect, the exogenous antibody is an anti-cotinine antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof.


In a further aspect, the ARM is a compound of Formula (I):

Definitions

As used herein and in the claims, the singular forms “a” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.


As used herein and in the claims, the term “comprising” encompasses “including” or “consisting” e.g. a composition “comprising” X may consist exclusively of X or may include something additional, e.g., X+Y.


The term “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of the feature to the specified materials or steps and those that do not materially affect the basic characteristic(s) of the claimed feature.


The term “consisting of” excludes the presence of any additional component(s).


The term “pathogenic cells” includes a cell subset that causes or is capable of causing disease. Examples of pathogenic cells include, but are not limited to, pathogenic immune cells, cancer or tumor cells, and stromal cells. A pathogenic cell can also be a pathogenic agent capable of causing an infection, such as a virus or a bacterial cell.


The term “pathogenic immune cells” includes a particular immune cell subset that causes or is capable of causing disease. These cellular subsets are resident cells or are recruited to particular locations and secrete cytokines, chemokines and other mediators and contribute to the persistence and progression of disease such as cancer in the case of a tumor microenvironment or chronic inflammation of the lung in the case of asthma. Examples of pathogenic immune cells include, but are not limited to myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), T regulatory cells (Tregs), neutrophils, macrophages, B regulatory cells (Bregs), CD8 regulatory cells, (CD8regs), and exhausted T cells.


The term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a formulation of a compound of the invention and a medium generally accepted in the art for the delivery of the biologically active compound to mammals, e.g., humans. Such a medium includes all pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients therefor.


The terms “effective amount” and “therapeutically effective amount” refer to an amount of a compound, or antibody, or antigen-binding portion thereof, according to the invention, which when administered to a patient in need thereof, is sufficient to effect treatment for disease-states, conditions, or disorders for which the compounds have utility. Such an amount would be sufficient to elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue system, or patient that is sought by a researcher or clinician. The amount of a compound according to the invention which constitutes a therapeutically effective amount will vary depending on such factors as the compound and its biological activity, the composition used for administration, the time of administration, the route of administration, the rate of excretion of the compound, the duration of the treatment, the type of disease-state or disorder being treated and its severity, drugs used in combination with or coincidentally with the compounds of the invention, and the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient. Such a therapeutically effective amount can be determined routinely by one of ordinary skill in the art having regard to their own knowledge, the state of the art, and this disclosure.


The term “alkyl” represents a saturated, linear or branched hydrocarbon moiety having the specified number of carbon atoms. The term “C1-3 alkyl” refers to an unsubstituted alkyl moiety containing 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms; exemplary alkyls include methyl, ethyl and propyl.


The term “alkylene” represents a saturated, linear or branched hydrocarbon moiety having the specified number of carbon atoms, with two points of attachment.

The present disclosure provides an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to a cotinine moiety. As used herein, the term “anti-cotinine antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof” refers to an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof that binds to a cotinine moiety. Cotinine has the following structure:




embedded image


As used herein, the term “cotinine moiety” refers to cotinine or an analog of cotinine. Compounds of Formula (I) described herein comprise a cotinine moiety linked via a linker to a CCR2-binding moiety. In one embodiment, the cotinine moiety has the following structure:




embedded image


wherein R1 is C1-4 alkyl or C3-6 cycloalkyl. In another embodiment, R1 is methyl, ethyl, 1-propyl, 2-propyl, 1-butyl, 2-butyl, or t-butyl. In another embodiment, R1 is methyl. In another embodiment, R1 is cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, or cyclohexyl.


The term “antibody” is used herein in the broadest sense to refer to molecules with an immunoglobulin-like domain (for example IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD or IgE) and includes monoclonal, recombinant, polyclonal, chimeric, human, humanised, multispecific antibodies, including bispecific antibodies, and heteroconjugate antibodies; a single variable domain (e.g., a domain antibody (DAB)), antigen binding antibody fragments, Fab, F(ab′)2, Fv, disulphide linked Fv, single chain Fv, disulphide-linked scFv, diabodies, TANDABS, etc. and modified versions of any of the foregoing (for a summary of alternative “antibody” formats see Holliger and Hudson, Nature Biotechnology, 2005, 23(9): 1126-1136).


The term, full, whole or intact antibody, used interchangeably herein, refers to a heterotetrameric glycoprotein with an approximate molecular weight of 150,000 daltons. An intact antibody is composed of two identical heavy chains (HCs) and two identical light chains (LCs) linked by covalent disulphide bonds. This H2L2 structure folds to form three functional domains comprising two antigen-binding fragments, known as ‘Fab’ fragments, and a ‘Fc’ crystallisable fragment. The Fab fragment is composed of the variable domain at the amino-terminus, variable heavy (VH) or variable light (VL), and the constant domain at the carboxyl terminus, CH1 (heavy) and CL (light). The Fc fragment is composed of two domains formed by dimerization of paired CH2 and CH3 regions. The Fc may elicit effector functions by binding to receptors on immune cells or by binding C1q, the first component of the classical complement pathway. The five classes of antibodies IgM, IgA, IgG, IgE and IgD are defined by distinct heavy chain amino acid sequences, which are called p, a, y, E and b respectively, each heavy chain can pair with either a K or A light chain. The majority of antibodies in the serum belong to the IgG class, there are four isotypes of human IgG (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4), the sequences of which differ mainly in their hinge region.


“CDRs” are defined as the complementarity determining region amino acid sequences of an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof. These are the hypervariable regions of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains. There are three heavy chain and three light chain CDRs (or CDR regions) in the variable portion of an immunoglobulin. Thus, “CDRs” as used herein refers to all three heavy chain CDRs, all three light chain CDRs, all heavy and light chain CDRs, or at least two CDRs.


Throughout this specification, amino acid residues in variable domain sequences and variable domain regions within full-length antigen binding sequences, e.g. within an antibody heavy chain sequence or antibody light chain sequence, are numbered according to the Kabat numbering convention. Similarly, the terms “CDR”, “CDRL1”, “CDRL2”, “CDRL3”, “CDRH1”, “CDRH2”, “CDRH3” used in the Examples follow the Kabat numbering convention. For further information, see Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 4th Ed., U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (1987).


It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that there are alternative numbering conventions for amino acid residues in variable domain sequences and full-length antibody sequences. There are also alternative numbering conventions for CDR sequences, for example those set out in Chothia et al., Nature, 1989, 342: 877-883. The structure and protein folding of the antigen binding protein may mean that other residues are considered part of the CDR sequence and would be understood to be so by a skilled person.


Other numbering conventions for CDR sequences available to a skilled person include “AbM” (University of Bath) and “contact” (University College London) methods.


Table 2 below represents one definition using each numbering convention for each CDR or binding unit. It should be noted that some of the CDR definitions may vary depending

In a further embodiment, the anti-cotinine antibody is humanized. In a further embodiment, the Fc region of the anti-cotinine antibody is modified to increase ADCC activity, ADCP activity, and/or CDC activity, suitable modifications of which are provided below. In a further embodiment, the Fc region of the anti-cotinine antibody is modified to increase ADCC activity.


Fc engineering methods can be applied to modify the functional or pharmacokinetics properties of an antibody. Effector function may be altered by making mutations in the Fc region that increase or decrease binding to C1q or Fcγ receptors and modify CDC or ADCC activity respectively. Modifications to the glycosylation pattern of an antibody can also be made to change the effector function. The in vivo half-life of an antibody can be altered by making mutations that affect binding of the Fc to the FcRn (neonatal Fc receptor).


The term “effector function” as used herein refers to one or more of antibody-mediated effects including antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-mediated complement activation including complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), complement-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (CDCP), antibody dependent complement-mediated cell lysis (ADCML), and Fc-mediated phagocytosis or antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).


The interaction between the Fc region of an antigen binding protein or antibody and various Fc receptors (FcR), including FcγRI (CD64), FcγRII (CD32), FcγRIII (CD16), FcRn, C1q, and type II Fc receptors is believed to mediate the effector functions of the antigen binding protein or antibody. Significant biological effects can be a consequence of effector functionality. Usually, the ability to mediate effector function requires binding of the antigen binding protein or antibody to an antigen and not all antigen binding proteins or antibodies will mediate every effector function.


Effector function can be assessed in a number of ways including, for example, evaluating ADCC effector function of antibody coated to target cells mediated by Natural Killer (NK) cells via FcγRIII, or monocytes/macrophages via FcγRI, or evaluating CDC effector function of antibody coated to target cells mediated by complement cascade via C1q. For example, an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, of the present invention can be assessed for ADCC effector function in a Natural Killer cell assay. Examples of such assays can be found in Shields et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001, 276: 6591-6604; Chappel et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993, 268: 25124-25131; Lazar et al., PNAS, 2006, 103: 4005-4010.


Examples of assays to determine CDC function include those described in J Imm Meth, 1995, 184: 29-38.


The effects of mutations on effector functions (e.g., FcRn binding, FcγRs and C1q binding, CDC, ADCML, ADCC, ADCP) can be assessed, e.g., as described in Grevys et al., J Immunol., 2015,194(11): 5497-5508; Tam et al., Antibodies, 2017, 6(3): 12; or Monnet et al., mAbs, 2014, 6(2): 422-436.


Throughout this specification, amino acid residues in Fc regions, in antibody sequences or full-length antigen binding protein sequences, are numbered according to the EU index numbering convention.


Human IgG1 constant regions containing specific mutations have been shown to enhance binding to Fc receptors. In some cases these mutations have also been shown to enhance effector functions, such as ADCC and CDC, as described below. Antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, of the present invention may include any of the following mutations.


Enhanced CDC: Fc engineering can be used to enhance complement-based effector function. For example (with reference to IgG1), K326W/E333S; S267E/H268F/S324T; and IgG1/IgG3 cross subclass can increase C1q binding; E345R (Diebolder et al., Science, 2014, 343: 1260-1293) and E345R/E430G/S440Y results in preformed IgG hexamers (Wang et al., Protein Cell, 2018, 9(1): 63-73).


Enhanced ADCC: Fc engineering can be used to enhance ADCC. For example (with reference to IgG1), F243L/R292P/Y300LN3051/P396L; S239D/1332E; and S298A/E333A/K334A increase FcγRIIIa binding; S239D/1332E/A330L increases FcγRIIIa binding and decreases FcγRIIb binding; G236A/S239D/1332E improves binding to FcγRIIa, improves the FcγRIIa/FcγRIIb binding ratio (activating/inhibitory ratio), and enhances phagocytosis of antibody-coated target cells by macrophages. An asymmetric Fc in which one heavy chain contains L234Y/L235Q/G236W/S239M/H268D/D270E/S298A mutations and D270E/K326D/A330M/K334E in the opposing heavy chain, increases affinity for FcγRIIIa F158 (a lower-affinity allele) and FcγRIIIa V158 (a higher-affinity allele) with no increased binding affinity to inhibitory FcγRIIb (Mimoto et al., mAbs, 2013, 5(2): 229-236).


Enhanced ADCP: Fc engineering can be used to enhance ADCP. For example (with reference to IgG1), G236A/S239D/1332E increases FcγRIIa binding and increases FcγRIIIa binding (Richards, J. et al., Mol. Cancer Ther., 2008, 7:2517-2527).


Increased co-engagement: Fc engineering can be used to increase co-engagement with FcRs. For example (with reference to IgG1), S267E/L328F increases FcγRIIb binding; N325S/L328F increases FcγRIIa binding and decreases FcγRIIIa binding Wang et al., Protein Cell, 2018, 9(1): 63-73).


In a further embodiment, an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, of the present invention may comprise a heavy chain constant region with an altered glycosylation profile, such that the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, has an enhanced effector function, e.g., enhanced ADCC, enhanced CDC, or both enhanced ADCC and CDC. Examples of suitable methodologies to produce an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, with an altered glycosylation profile are described in WO 2003/011878, WO 2006/014679 and EP1229125.


The absence of the α1,6 innermost fucose residues on the Fc glycan moiety on N297 of IgG1 antibodies enhances affinity for FcγRIIIA. As such, afucosylated or low fucosylated monoclonal antibodies may have increased therapeutic efficacy (Shields et al., J Biol Chem., 2002, 277(30): 26733-40 and Monnet et al., mAbs, 2014, 6(2): 422-436).


In one embodiment there is provided an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising a chimeric heavy chain constant region. In an embodiment, the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises an IgG1/IgG3 chimeric heavy chain constant region, such that the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, has an enhanced effector function, for example enhanced ADCC or enhanced CDC, or enhanced ADCC and CDC functions. For example, a chimeric antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, of the invention may comprise at least one CH2 domain from IgG3. In one such embodiment, the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises one CH2 domain from IgG3 or both CH2 domains may be from IgG3. In a further embodiment, the chimeric antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises an IgG1 CH1 domain, an IgG3 CH2 domain, and an IgG3 CH3 domain. In a further embodiment, the chimeric antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises an IgG1 CH1 domain, an IgG3 CH2 domain, and an IgG3 CH3 domain except for position 435 that is histidine.


In a further embodiment, the chimeric antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises an IgG1 CH1 domain and at least one CH2 domain from IgG3. In an embodiment, the chimeric antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises an IgG1 CH1 domain and the following residues, which correspond to IgG3 residues, in a CH2 domain: 274Q, 276K, 296F, 300F and 339T. In an embodiment, the chimeric antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, also comprises 356E, which corresponds to an IgG3 residue, within a CH3 domain.


In an embodiment, the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, also comprises one or more of the following residues, which correspond to IgG3 residues within a CH3 domain: 358M, 384S, 392N, 397M, 4221, 435R, and 436F.


Also provided is a method of producing an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, according to the invention comprising the steps of:

    • a) culturing a recombinant host cell comprising an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a chimeric Fc region having both IgG1 and IgG3 Fc region amino acid residues (e.g. as described above); and
    • b) recovering the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof.


Such methods for the production of antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, with chimeric heavy chain constant regions can be performed, for example, using the COMPLEGENT technology system available from BioWa, Inc. (Princeton, NJ) and Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd. The COMPLEGENT system comprises a recombinant host cell comprising an expression vector in which a nucleic acid sequence encoding a chimeric Fc region having both IgG1 and IgG3 Fc region amino acid residues is expressed to produce an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, having enhanced CDC activity, i.e. CDC activity is increased relative to an otherwise identical antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, lacking such a chimeric Fc region, as described in WO 2007/011041 and US 2007/0148165, each of which are incorporated herein by reference. In an alternative embodiment, CDC activity may be increased by introducing sequence specific mutations into the Fc region of an IgG chain. Those of ordinary skill in the art will also recognize other appropriate systems.


The present invention also provides a method of producing an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, according to the invention comprising the steps of:

    • a) culturing a recombinant host cell comprising an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, optionally wherein the FUT8 gene encoding alpha-1,6-fucosyltransferase has been inactivated in the recombinant host cell; and
    • b) recovering the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof.


Such methods for the production of an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, can be performed, for example, using the POTELLIGENT technology system available from BioWa, Inc. (Princeton, NJ) in which CHOK1SV cells lacking a functional copy of the FUT8 gene produce monoclonal antibodies having enhanced ADCC activity that is increased relative to an identical monoclonal antibody produced in a cell with a functional FUT8 gene as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,214,775, 6,946,292, WO 00/61739 and WO 02/31240, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Those of ordinary skill in the art will also recognize other appropriate systems.


In one embodiment, the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, is produced in a host cell in which the FUT8 gene has been inactivated. In a further embodiment, the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, is produced in a −/− FUT8 host cell. In a further embodiment, the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, is afucosylated at Asn297 (IgG1).


It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that such modifications may not only be used alone but may be used in combination with each other in order to further enhance effector function.


In one such embodiment, there is provided an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising a heavy chain constant region that comprises a both a mutated and chimeric heavy chain constant region, individually described above. For example, an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising at least one CH2 domain from IgG3 and one CH2 domain from IgG1, and wherein the IgG1 CH2 domain has one or more mutations at positions selected from 239, 332 and 330 (for example the mutations may be selected from S239D, 1332E and A330L), such that the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, has enhanced effector function, e.g. enhanced ADCC or enhanced CDC, or enhanced ADCC and enhanced CDC in comparison to an equivalent antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, with an IgG1 heavy chain constant region lacking said mutations. In one embodiment, the IgG1 CH2 domain has the mutations S239D and 1332E. In another embodiment, the IgG1 CH2 domain has the mutations S239D, A330L, and 1332E.


In an alternative embodiment, there is provided an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprising both a chimeric heavy chain constant region and an altered glycosylation profile, as individually described above. In an embodiment, the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, comprises an altered glycosylation profile such that the ratio of fucose to mannose is 0.8:3 or less. In one such embodiment, the heavy chain constant region comprises at least one CH2 domain from IgG3 and one CH2 domain from IgG1 and has an altered glycosylation profile such that the ratio of fucose to mannose is 0.8:3 or less, for example wherein the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, is defucosylated. Said antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, has an enhanced effector function, e.g. enhanced ADCC or enhanced CDC, or enhanced ADCC and enhanced CDC, in comparison to an equivalent antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, with an IgG1 heavy chain constant region lacking said glycosylation profile.


In an alternative embodiment, the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, has at least one IgG3 heavy chain CH2 domain and at least one heavy chain constant domain from IgG1 wherein both IgG CH2 domains are mutated in accordance with the limitations described herein.


In one aspect, there is provided a method of producing an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, according to the invention described herein comprising the steps of:

Pharmaceutical Compositions, Dosages, and Dosage Forms

For the purposes of administration, in certain embodiments, the ARMs described herein are administered as a raw chemical or are formulated as pharmaceutical compositions. Pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein include an ARM and one or more of: a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient. An ARM is present in the composition in an amount which is effective to treat a particular disease, disorder or condition of interest. The activity of the ARM can be determined by one skilled in the art, for example, as described in the biological assays described below. Appropriate concentrations and dosages can be readily determined by one skilled in the art. In certain embodiments, the ARM is present in the pharmaceutical composition in an amount from about 25 mg to about 500 mg. In certain embodiments, the ARM is present in the pharmaceutical composition in an amount of about 0.01 mg to about 300 mg. In certain embodiments, ARM is present in the pharmaceutical composition in an amount of about 0.01 mg, 0.1 mg, 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg or about 500 mg.


Administration of the compounds of the invention, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, in pure form or in an appropriate pharmaceutical composition, is carried out via any of the accepted modes of administration of agents for serving similar utilities. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are prepared by combining a compound of the invention with an appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient, and in specific embodiments are formulated into preparations in solid, semi-solid, liquid or gaseous forms, such as tablets, capsules, powders, granules, ointments, solutions, suppositories, injections, inhalants, gels, microspheres, and aerosols. Exemplary routes of administering such pharmaceutical compositions include, without limitation, oral, topical, transdermal, inhalation, parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, or intradermal), sublingual, buccal, rectal, vaginal, and intranasal. Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are formulated so as to allow the active ingredients contained therein to be bioavailable upon administration of the composition to a patient.


Compositions that will be administered to a subject or patient take the form of one or more dosage units, where for example, a tablet may be a single dosage unit, and a container of a compound of the invention in aerosol form may hold a plurality of dosage units. Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition (Philadelphia. College of Pharmacy and Science, 2000). The composition to be administered will, in any event, contain a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for treatment of a disease or condition of interest in accordance with the teachings described herein.


The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are prepared by methodologies well known in the pharmaceutical art. For example, in certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition intended to be administered by injection is prepared by combining a compound of the invention with sterile, distilled water so as to form a solution. In some embodiments, a surfactant is added to facilitate the formation of a homogeneous solution or suspension. Surfactants are compounds that non-covalently interact with the compound of the invention so as to facilitate dissolution or homogeneous suspension of the compound in the aqueous delivery system.


Traditional antibody therapeutics have several disadvantages that are addressed by the ARMs approach described herein including difficulties in managing adverse events via adjusting dose and dose frequency of administration, challenges in generating antibodies to certain classes of drug targets (e.g., GPCRs, ion channels, and enzymes), and a new cell line for development is required for each new antibody which can be slow and costly. Moreover, different formats of biologics (e.g., bispecifics) can be challenging to manufacture. In contrast, the ARMs approach provides the following advantages: uniting the pharmacology of antibodies with the dose-control of small molecules, dose controlled PK/PD allowing temporal cell depletion, simpler multimerization, and rapid reversal of cell depletion through dosing of the antibody-binding component (e.g., cotinine hapten) which can uncouple therapeutic effects from potential adverse events.

BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS

Example Compounds 1-198 which are compounds of Formula (I) having a CCR2 binding moiety were tested in various biological assays as described in more detail below.


Example 199: Antibody Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity Reporter Assay

An antibody dependent cellular cytoxocity reporter assay was conducted using the following four assay components: (i) ARM compound of Formula (I) targeting CCR2 (concentrations ranging from 1 μM to 10 μM) (ii) anti-cotinine antibody having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12 (rabbit variable region with human IgG1 Fc domain containing a DE mutation (S239D/1332E)) (concentrations ranging from 0.01 μg/mL to 200 μg/mL); (iii) target cells: CHOK1 cells engineered to overexpress either human CCR2 (typically 1000-20,000 cells per well) and (iv) reporter cells: Jurkat cells engineered to express FcγRIIIa with the reporter gene luciferase under the control of the NFAT promoter (typically 3000-75,000 cells per well). Reagents were combined in a final volume of 20 μL in a 384-well tissue culture treated plate. All four assay components were incubated together for about 12-18 hours. Thereafter, BioGlo Detection reagent (Promega) was added to the wells to lyse the cells and provide a substrate for the luciferase reporter protein. Luminescence signal was measured on a microplate reader and signal: background was calculated by dividing the signal of a test well by the signal obtained when no heterobivalent compound of Formula (I) was added. EC50 calculations were done using Graphpad Prism Software, specifically a nonlinear regression curve fit (Y=Bottom+(Top−Bottom)/(1+10A((LogEC50−X)*HillSlope))).


ARMs compounds of Formula (I) of the invention were tested for ADCC activity in the above assay in or more experimental runs and the results are shown in Table 3 below. Potency of the compounds of Formula (I) of the invention is reported as a pEC50 value. The pEC50 value is the negative log of the EC50 value, wherein the EC50 value is the half maximal effective concentration measured in molar (M). For compounds tested in more than one experimental run, the pEC50 value is reported as an average.


Example 200: PBMC Ex Vivo Depletion Assay

A human PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) monocyte depletion flow cytometry assay was developed to screen compounds in a 384-well plate format. This assay incorporated endogenous natural killer cells to deplete endogenous target monocytes.


To screen compounds in the human PBMC monocyte depletion flow cytometry assay, 11-point dose-response curves were made from 1 mM stocks in neat DMSO by serially diluting an ARM compound of Formula (I) four-fold into a 384-well plate row-wise. These serially diluted compounds were then stamped into a flat bottom polypropylene 384-well plate (Greiner Bio-One) at 100 nL/well. Fifty microliters of 30 μg/mL anti-cotinine antibody having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12 (rabbit variable region with human IgG1 Fc domain containing a DE mutation (S239D/1332E)) that had been diluted in assay medium (RPMI 1640 (Gibco) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco), 1% Glutamax (Gibco) and 1% sodium pyruvate (Corning) was added to the wells of the plate. The plate was centrifuged for 1 min at 500 rpm (revolutions per minute) and then shaken for 5 min at room temperature. The plate was incubated for 15 minutes at 37° C./5% CO2.


Frozen PBMC cells (HemaCare BioResearch) were thawed and centrifuged at 1,200 rpm for 4 minutes. The cells were diluted to a cell density of 2×106 cells/mL in assay medium. Fifty microliters of the diluted cells were added to the wells of the plate. The plate was centrifuged for 1 min at 500 rpm and incubated for 18-24 hours at 37° C./5% CO2.


After 18-24 hours incubation, 2 μL of 6.25 μg human FC block (BD Pharmingen) that was diluted in assay medium was added to the wells of the plate. The plate was centrifuged for 1 minute at 500 rpm and then incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. Five microliters of 750 nM Helix NP NIR (Biolegend) that had been diluted in assay medium was added to the wells of the plate. Nine microliters of antibody cocktail containing 1/5 diluted fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled anti-CD45 antibody (Beckman Coulter), PC7 labeled anti-CD14 antibody (Beckman Coulter) and phyocoerythrin (PE) anti-CD4 antibody (Beckman Coulter) was then added to the wells of the plate. The plate was centrifuged for 1 min at 500 rpm and incubated for 30 minutes at 4-8° C. Samples from the plate were run on BD FACS Canto II flow cytometer and data was analyzed using FlowJo software.


ARMs compounds of Formula (I) of the invention were tested for the ability to deplete monocytes in the above assay in one or more experimental runs and the results are shown in Table 3 below. Potency of the compounds of the invention is reported as a pEC50 value. The pEC50 value is the negative log of the EC50 value, wherein the EC50 value is the half maximal effective concentration measured in molar (M). For compounds tested in more than one experimental run, the pEC50 value is reported as an average or as the individual values measured

Example 201: In vivo Depletion Assay

Human CCR2 (hCCR2) knock-in mice (C57 background) were dosed intravenously with a PBS solution containing a compound of Formula (I) to measure depletion cfCCR2 expressing cells in peripheral blood. Peripheral blood from V dosed mice was also analyzed to determine PK properties of the ARM compounds of Formula (I).


Stock solution preparation. Stock solutions of compounds of Formula (I) were prepared at 20 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL in PK8S0 for PK/PD and dose tolerability studies respectively. Stock solutions were stored at −2  C. until further usage. on the day of experiment, the stock Solution of the compound of Formula (I) was removed from storage at −2  C. and thawed at room temperature. Anti-cotinine antibody having a heavy chain sequence of SEC ID NO: 13 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14 (rabbit variable region sequence with mouse IgG2a Fc domain), if required was removed from storage at −80° C. and thawed at room temperature. Antibody vials were immediately transferred into wet ice after thawing. Compounds of Formula (I) were further diluted in DMSO as per experimental requirements.


The formulation composition was Saline: DMSI: PBS.


Saline was added based on the quantity required and then stock solution of the compound of Formula (I) prepared in DMSO, followed by addition of antibody in PBS. Formulations were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes before administration to the mouse. DMSO was used at 1 to % (v/v) in the final formulation.


Administration to Animal: Solution formulation of antibody and compound of Formula (I) was injected (bolus injection) to the restrained mouse in the right/left lateral tai vein. Animals were dosed with 0.1 milligram per kilogram (mpk) of the compound of Formula (I) and 10 mpk of the anti-cotinine antibody.


Collection of Blood for PK: Blood was collected at time points 0.25 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours following administration (50 μL/time point) through retro-orbital bleeding under mild isoflurane anesthesia.


Terminal bleeding at end of experiment (48 hr): Approximately 250 μL of blood in K2EDTA tube and approximately 250 μL of blood in SST (serum separation tube) was collected from each mouse through retro-orbital bleeding under deep isoflurane anesthesia. After bleeding, each mouse was sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The blood distribution at termination was determined as follows:

    • For PK: 50 μL of K2EDTA blood was transferred to another tube for PK
    • Flow cytometry: Remaining blood (˜200 μL) was used for flow cytometry analysis.
    • For serum collection: serum separator tubes (BD) were centrifuged at 4° C., 5000 rpm for 15 minutes. Approximately 100 μL serum was separated and stored at −80° C. for further usage.
    • Blood drug concentration: Samples collected at the various timepoints (0.25 hr, 2 hr, 24 and 48 hr) were analyzed to determine blood drug concentration.


Flow Cytometry Analysis:

CCR2 depletion in peripheral blood was determined by flow cytometry. Briefly, peripheral blood was collected from all animals at the end of study termination and processed. Blood samples were lysed using 1×RBC Lysis buffer and the resulting cell pellet was washed twice in FACS buffer (HBSS containing 5% FBS). Cells were subjected to Fc blocking using mouse Fc block from Biolegend (Trustain, anti-mouse CD16/32, Cat: 101319) to block non-specific binding followed by surface staining for immune markers (CD45, CD3, CD11 b, Ly6C, human CCR2). Surface staining was done for 30 minutes in ice and cells were washed twice to remove unbound antibodies. Cells were stained with 7AAD to determine viability and acquired on BD FACSVerse flow cytometer. Appropriate FMO controls and single-color controls were included in the experiment for gating and compensation respectively.


CCR2+ monocytes were gated as CD11 b+Ly6C+Hi, medium and Low populations and treatment induced reduction in CD11 b+Ly6c+Hi cells (i.e., cells with high CCR2 expression) was evaluated. Percent depletion of CD11 b+Ly6c+Hi cells and CCR2 expression for the different treatment groups was determined. The results are shown below in Table 4 and are reported as percent (%) depletion of CCR2 expressing cells.


Blood Drug Concentration Analysis:

Drug concentration in blood samples was determined by an LC-MS/MS-based bioanalytical method developed at Syngene. Samples were analyzed on Q-Trap. AP-5500 LC-MS/MS system coupled with Exion UHPLC system from SCIEX, USA operated in multiple reaction monitoring mode employing electrospray ionization technique in positive polarity. Analyte and internal standard peaks were resolved on Synergi Polar, 75×2.0 mm. 4μ column using mobile phase 10 mM Ammonium acetate in Milli-Q water as phase A and 0.1% Formic acid in acetonitrile as Phase B. Gradient elution was performed with initial composition 95% Phase A at 0.0 min, holding it for 0.2 minutes, ramping to 5% by 1.0 minute, keeping the same for next 0.5 minutes and coming back to 95% by 1.6 minutes. The total run time was 2 minutes.


Working dilutions for calibration curve and quality control standards were prepared by serially diluting 20 mg/mL stock solution with DMSO. Spiked concentrations for calibration curve in the whole blood ranged from 1 ng/mL to 1000 ng/mL. The working solution of internal standard (Verapamil, 25 ng/mL) was prepared in acetonitrile. 10 μL of the study sample and calibration curve, quality control, and blank whole blood samples were aliquoted in 96 deep well plates for processing. 10 μL of Milli-Q water was added to all the samples and briefly vortexed to initiate complete hemolysis. 10 μL of 20 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) was added to all the samples and incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. The addition of DTT enhanced the recovery of ARM compounds of Formula (I) from the biological matrix. 300 μL of working internal standard solution was added to all samples except total blank and wash samples, where 300 μL of acetonitrile was added. All the samples were vortex mixed for 5 minutes, followed by centrifugation at 4DDD rpm for 1D minutes at 4° C. Supernatants were transferred to the loading plate and injected 3 μL to LC-MS/MG system for analysis. The results are shown below in Table 4 and are reported as compound exposure 48 hours post-dose

Example 202: Binding of Anti-Cotinine Antibody to ARM Compounds of Formula (I) Measured by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)

Anti-cotinine antibodies having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12 (rabbit variable region with human IgG1 Fc domain containing a DE mutation (S239D/1332E)) were captured on one or more flow cells of a protein A sensor chip (Cytiva) using a Biacore T200 while reserving flow cell 1 as a reference. Following capture, a 3000 second wait step was included to reduce drift during compound analysis. ARM compounds of Formula (I) were then injected at 100 μL/min with 200 and 2000 second association and dissociation times. The entire experiment was run at 37° C. with running buffer containing 10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.005% P20 and 1% DMSO. ARM compounds of Formula (I) were titrated with a top concentration of 200 nM using a 3-fold 5-point dilution series and a corresponding 5-injection buffer cycle was run for blank subtraction. Data were double referenced by subtracting the response of the reference flow cell from that of the antibody-containing flow cell and subsequently subtracting the referenced blank sensorgrams. Following compound analysis, the surface was regenerated using a 30 second injection of pH 1.5 glycine at a flow rate of 30 μL/min after which antibody was re-captured. The experiment was run using Biacore T200 control software and evaluated using Biacore T200 Evaluation software. Curves were fit with a 1:1 kinetic binding model to obtain kon (1/Ms), koff(1/s), Kd (M) determined as koff/kon, and residence time determined as 1/koff (s).


Anti-cotinine antibody was tested for binding to ARMs compounds of Formula (I) of the invention in the above assay in or more experimental runs and the results are shown in Table 5 below. Affinity is reported as a pKd value. The pKd value is the negative log of the Kd value, wherein the Kd value is the dissociation constant measured in molar (M) as noted above. For compounds tested in more than one experimental run, the pKd value is reported as an average

Anti-cotinine antibodies having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10 (humanized version) or a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12 (rabbit version) were captured via the Fc domain to a protein A or A/G surface on flow cell 2 of a CMS sensor chip using the Biacore 8k. Both antibodies used in this experiment had a human IgG1 Fc domain containing a DE mutation (S239D/1332E).


After antibody capture, a 1500 second wait step was included to reduce drift in the binding step. ARM compounds of Formula (I) were then flowed over the captured antibodies at varying top concentrations ranging from 250 nM to 4 μM (see Table 6 below for top concentration values). The top concentration was diluted 4-fold over 5 dilutions (with a 0 nM compound cycle included to blank subtract the data). Association and dissociation times of the ARMs compounds of Formula (I) varied between experiments as follows and indicated in Table 6 below: reference 1-association for 600 seconds and dissociation for 1200 seconds at 20 μl/min; reference 2-association for 240 seconds and dissociation for 300 seconds at 30 μl/min; reference 3-association for 360 seconds and dissociation for 600 seconds at 30 μl/min. Anti-cotinine antibody bound to the protein A or A/G surface was regenerated using 50 mM NaOH. Experiments were run at 25° C. at pH 7.4 using HBS-EP+ buffer using Biacore 8K control software and evaluated using Biacore Insight Evaluation software.


Curves were fit with the 1:1 kinetic fit inherent to the software, utilising a local Rmax and local drift setting.


Anti-cotinine antibody was tested for binding to ARMs compounds of Formula (I) of the invention in the above assay in or more experimental runs and the results are shown in Table 6 below. Affinity is reported as a pKd value. The pKd value is the negative log of the Kd value, wherein the Kd value is the dissociation constant measured in molar (M) as noted above. For compounds tested in more than one experimental run, the pKd value is reported as an average.

Example 203: Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Antagonism Assay

Cells expressing human alpha1 nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptor (nAChR) were washed and dissociated using Trypsin containing buffer. Cells were then washed and seeded at a density of 3-5 million cells/mL and allowed to grow for 3 days. Then, 60-80 μL of cells were added to plates and incubated with dose response of an ARM compound of Formula (I) with a top concentration of either 10 μM or 100 μM. The receptor was then stimulated via addition of acetylcholine (ACh) and activation of the receptor was monitored via the IONFlux automated patch clamp system. IonFlux Data Analyzer software was utilized to perform leak subtraction and measure (min) peak current amplitude. These data were then exported to Excel.


Data processing: (1) Current values recorded for vehicle only applications in individual traps/patterns were subtracted from corresponding current amplitude values for control, test article and control+test article. (2) Control response was calculated as % of the average response of the 3rd out of total 3 ACh (10 mM) applications alone. In rare situations, if the 3rd ACh response was obscured due to technical artifacts, the 2nd and/or 1st ACh (10 mM) application was considered as control. The peak current amplitude generated in the presence of each test article concentration was then used to calculate the % inhibition as compared to control response (10 mM ACh alone). These estimates were further corrected for vehicle response and run down corrected by normalizing with time matched control responses (10 mM ACh alone). The corrected percentages were then fit with a non-linear function in GraphPad Prism 6 (or later versions) to determine the IC50.


Exclusion criteria: (i) any n's with poor recording quality, (ii) control current amplitude <500 pA or (iii) significant outliers, as determined by the Grubbs test.


ARMs compounds of Formula (I) of the invention were tested for antagonism of the nAChR in the above assay in or more experimental runs and the results are shown in Table 7 below. Antagonistic activity of the compounds of Formula (I) of the invention is reported as an IC50 value (half maximal inhibitory concentration) and the maximum percentage antagonism observed at the highest concentration of compound of Formula (I) tested, as indicated in Table 7. For compounds tested in more than one experimental run, the IC50 value is reported as an average

Example 204: Dosing and Analysis of Tumor Bearing Animals

MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously into the flank of human CCR2 knock-in C57 mice. Tumor volume was measured using a digital Vernier caliper, and the length (I) and width (w) of the tumor was measured. Tumor volume was calculated using the following formula: Tumor Volume (mm3)=L×W2/2, Where, L=Length (mm); W=Width (mm). Anti-cotinine antibody (rabbit variable region sequence with mouse IgG2a Fc domain having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14), and ARM compound of Formula (I) (Example 36) were diluted in saline and administered intravenously to give the final concentrations tested. Antibody was tested at concentrations of 10 milligrams per kilogram (mpk), 5 mpk, 2.5 mpk, or 1.25 mpk; and compound of Formula (I) was tested at 0.2 mpk, 0.1 mpk, 0.05 mpk, and 0.025 mpk. Tumor volume at the various concentrations of antibody/compound of Formula (I) tested is shown in FIG. 1A.


Flow cytometry of peripheral blood collected from the tumor bearing mice and blood drug concentration analysis were conducted essentially as described in Example 201 above. For flow cytometry analysis of tumors, tumor isolation procedures were performed in laminar flow hood following sterile techniques. All dissection tools used during the procedure were sterilized. The tools were kept in 70% ethanol between usage. Mice bearing subcutaneous tumor were humanely euthanized using carbon dioxide asphyxiation, sprayed down with 70% ethanol and then wiped with Betadine to remove loose fur. The skin of the tumor site was lifted up using forceps and cut down with a dissection scissor to expose the subcutaneous tumor. The exposed tumor was cut and removed using a small dissection scissor. The tumor sample was placed in a 50 mL falcon tube adequately filled with RPMI 1640 serum free media and analyzed by flow cytometry. Antibody staining for flow cytometry analysis was conducted in the same manner as for the peripheral blood samples. The results demonstrate that the percentage of CD8+ T cells increased and the percentage of monocytic myeloid derived suppressor cells (mMDSCs) decreased upon treatment with ARM compound+antibody as compared to treatment with the ARM compound alone (FIG. 10A).


Survival analysis-Animals were humanely euthanized when tumors reached >1500 mm3 or ulcerations of the tumor were visible. Percent survival of animals treated with the compound of Formula (I) alone, or in the presence of anti-cotinine antibody is shown in FIG. 10B.


Example 205: Ex Vivo Depletion and T-Cell Expansion Assay

Freshly collected human blood from healthy donors was provided by the GSK blood collection unit. Lymphoprep (15 mL) was added to Accuspin tube and centrifuged at 800 g for 1 minute. Room temperature blood (20 mL) was diluted to a final volume of 35 mL by addition of room temperature phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and this was layered on top of the 15 mL of centrifuged Lymphoprep solution. Tubes were centrifuged at 800 g for 20 minutes. The top layer (down to the PBMC interface) was aspirated. The PBMC interface was decanted into 50 mL Falcon tubes. PBS was added to a final volume of 50 mL and samples were centrifuged at 250 g for 10 minutes at room temperature. Supernatant was decanted and pellets were resuspended in PBS and centrifuged at 300 g for 6 minutes at room temperature. Supernatant was decanted and cell pellet was resuspended to a final concentration of 1 million cells/mL in PBS.


Cells were labeled with CFSE by addition of 1 μL of 0.25 mM Cell Trace CFSE dye per 1 mL of cells and incubated at 37° C. for 20 minutes. The cells were washed with 10 mL of RPMI+10% low IgG FBS. Cells were resuspended to 4 million cells/mL in RPMI+10% low IgG FBS.


Depletion of target cells was conducted in 100 μL final volume in 384-well plates. Cells were added to a final concentration of 1×106 cells/mL. Anti-cotinine antibody (rabbit variable region with human IgG1 Fc domain containing a DE mutation (S239D/1332E) having heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12) was added to a final concentration of 2.5 μg/mL and the compound of Example 36 was added to a final concentration of approximately 16 nM and CD3/CD28 beads were added at a concentration of 0.25×106 beads/mL. Samples were incubated at 37° C. overnight (about 16 hours).


Following the depletion step, samples were subjected to staining for flow cytometry. Samples were transferred to a 96-well round bottom polypropylene plate. Then, 100 μL of diluted (1:1000) Live/Dead dye was added to each sample. The plate was incubated in the dark for 15 minutes at room temperature. Then, 100 μL of HANK's buffer+1% BSA was added. The plate was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 3 minutes and the supernatant was discarded. Fc Blocker (BD) was added with Hanks Buffer+1% BSA and antibody solution. Panel 1: (PerCP-Cy5.5-CD4-cat #560650, CD14-PC7-cat #A22331, CD45-BV421-cat #563879) Panel 2: (PerCP-Cy5.5-CD4-cat #560650, CD45-BV421-cat #563879, PE-CD8-cat #555635). Staining was conducted on ice for 20 minutes. Cells were washed with 200 μL of HANK's buffer+1% BSA and resuspended in 100 μL of Hank's buffer+1% BSA. Samples were analyzed on BD FACS Fortessa. Percent divided of the CD8+ T cell population was calculated by analyzing CFSE staining in the CD45+/CD8+ cell population.


The results are shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. The results show that CCR2+ cells are depleted upon treatment of ARM compound in the presence of anti-cotinine antibody. Additionally, CD8+ T cell expansion was observed in 2 of 3 donor samples in which robust CCR2+ cell depletion was observed.


Example 206: Exploration of Alternative In Vivo Dosing Strategies in Mice

Alternative strategies to intravenously dosing a pre-mixed solution of anti-cotinine antibody and small molecule ARM compound were explored. Experiments were conducted in human CCR2 knock-in mice (C57 background) and anti-cotinine antibody having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14 (rabbit variable region sequence with mouse IgG2a Fc domain). The results demonstrate that various alternative dosing strategies can be used for administration of the anti-cotinine antibody and small molecule ARM compound.


In some instances, a dosing strategy in which the anti-cotinine antibody was administered intravenously as described in the in vivo experiment of Example 204 and ARM compound of Formula (I) (Example 1) was administered subcutaneously following a 2-hour delay from antibody dosing was explored. Subcutaneous administrations of the ARM compound were made into the loose skin of mice over the interscapular. BD syringe (1 mL) with 26 G needle was used for the subcutaneous administration. The needle was inserted under the skin of the interscapular area tented by the thumb and forefinger and ARM compound was injected. Various molar ratios of small molecule ARM compound to anti-cotinine antibody were tested according to this dosing strategy (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 8:0). Blood concentration of the small molecule ARM compound at various timepoints following dosing was determined according to the methods described above in Example 201 and the results are shown in FIG. 5.


In other instances, anti-cotinine antibody was administered intravenously (10 mpk) and the small molecule ARM compound (compound of Example 36) was administered at various concentrations (2 mpk, 10 mpk, 50 mpk) via oral gavage after a brief delay (<30 minutes following antibody administration). Oral dosing utilized a ball tip 22G stainless steel needle and the ARM compound was administered slowly. Blood concentration of the small molecule ARM compound at various timepoints following dosing was measured and percent depletion of CCR2+ cells was determined by flow cytometry according to the methods described above in Example 201. Results are shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B.


In other instances, anti-cotinine antibody was administered intravenously and the small molecule ARM compound (Example 1) was administered intravenously after a delay of 30 minutes, 2 hours or 24 hours. Antibody was administered at a concentration of 10 mpk and ARM compound was administered at a concentration of 0.2 mpk. Blood concentration of the small molecule ARM compound at various timepoints following dosing was measured as described in Example 201. Flow cytometry was used in some cases to determine the effect of treatment on the levels of CD11B+/Ly6cHi cells in the peripheral blood also as described in Example 201. The results are shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B and 4. In particular, FIG. 4 demonstrates that dosing the small molecule ARM compound and anti-cotinine antibody at a molar ratio of 2:1 is sufficient to saturate the anti-cotinine antibody (data shown for sequential administration of antibody and small molecule ARM with a gap of 2 hours between small molecule ARM and antibody dosing).


Example 207: Cynomolgus Monkey Dosing Study—Analysis of ARM Compound PK and Depletion of Target Expressing Cells

Anti-cotinine antibody having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10 was supplied as a 125.86 mg/mL stock solution prepared in and diluted with in 20 mM Histidine, 180 mM Trehalose, 40 mM arginine, 8 mM Methionine, 0.05 mM EDTA, 0.02% PS80 [pH 5.89](pH range of diluted test formulations 5.77 to 5.91) and administered to monkeys at a dose volume of 2 mL/kg. The ARM compound of Example 1 was formulated as a solution (pH range of test formulations 7.26 to 7.43) in 2% Cavitron in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) [pH 7.37] and administered to monkeys at a dose volume of 2 mL/kg. Treatment groups and dosing schedule are shown below in Table 8 and are hereinafter referred to as Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4.

On Day 1, all monkeys in Groups 2 through 4 were dosed with small molecule ARM compound of Example 1 by slow IV bolus (approximately 2 minutes via tail vein and/or saphenous vein using a temporary IV catheter) followed by dosing with anti-cotinine antibody approximately 5 minutes after. Group 1 (Control) monkeys received the respective vehicles for anti-cotinine antibody and ARM compound of Example 1 according to the same dosing regimen. The catheters were flushed with −2 mL of sterile saline following administration of each formulation. On Day 8, only monkeys in Group 2 were dosed using the same regimen as Day 1 to determine if adding a second dose resulted in extended PD response.


Monkey plasma samples were analyzed for anti-cotinine antibody using an analytical method based on immunocapture/protein digestion followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. The LLQ for Example 1 was 1.00 μg/mL using a 10 μL aliquot of plasma.


Cynomolgus monkey blood/water (50/50, v/v) samples were analyzed for total amount of compound of Example 1 using an analytical method based on protein precipitation followed by UHPLC/MS/MS analysis. The lower limit of quantification (LLQ) for the compound of Example 1 was 1.00 ng/mL in blood using a 25 μL aliquot of monkey blood/water (50/50, v/v).


The computer systems that were used on this study to acquire and quantify data included: Analyst v. 1.7.1 and Watson v7.6.1 for cotinine antibody and Analyst vl.4.2 and Watson v7.6.1 for Example 1.


Peripheral blood samples were collected in potassium EDTA anti-coagulant prior to dosing on Day 1, and at 2 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours post-dose on Day 1, and Days 8, 15, and 22 from male and female monkeys in Groups 1, 3, and 4. Peripheral blood samples were collected in potassium EDTA anti-coagulant prior to dosing on Days 1 and 8, and at 2 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 8, and Days 15 and 22 from male and female monkeys in Group 2. An additional sample was collected for immunophenotyping only from all monkeys prior to randomization at Screen (Day −6).


Whole blood was transferred to appropriate tubes for immunophenotyping analysis. Plasma was separated from remaining whole blood by centrifugation, aliquoted, and then stored in a freezer set to maintain −70° C. until cytokine analysis. Red blood cells were lysed using Lysis Buffer (eBioscience, San Diego, CA). After a wash, non-specific cell surface binding was blocked by pre-incubating cells (minimum of 5 minutes on wet ice) with human FC block (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), mouse IgG (Millipore Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and purified isotype-matched controls (BD Biosciences) at a minimum 2-fold excess. Monoclonal antibodies specific for human cell surface antigens (cross-reactive with cynomolgus monkey) were added to cells as a single panel and incubated for-30 minutes on wet ice with protection from light:

Cells were washed and brought up in Stain Buffer (BD Biosciences), then analyzed the same day using the FACSymphony A3 flow cytometer with FACSDiva version 8.0.1 or version 9.1 software (BD Biosciences).


Lymphocytes and monocytes were gated from live, singlet cells based on side scatter light properties and CD45. Data are expressed as percent parent and/or grandparent and absolute numbers of lymphocyte and monocyte subsets, as calculated by multiplying the flow cytometric percentages by the absolute lymphocyte and monocyte counts determined by hematology measurements. The results are shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B.


Example 208: Cotinine Off-Switch Study

Human CCR2 Knock-in C57 mice were dosed intravenously with anti-cotinine antibody having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14 (rabbit variable region sequence with mouse IgG2a Fc domain) and ARM compound of Example 36 (10 mpk antibody premixed with 0.1 mpk compound) intravenously. An additional three animals received only saline vehicle (vehicle control animals). After 48 hours, the vehicle control animals and 3 animals from the treated group were sacrificed and blood was collected by cardiac puncture for flow cytometry analysis. The remaining animals were split into two groups: Group 2 received 50 mpk (S)-cotinine (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Cat Number: C5923)) at 48 hours and again at 60 hours while Group 1 received no additional treatment. Blood was collected at 2, 24, 48, 48.25, 50, 60, 60.25, 62, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post dosing of the anti-cotinine antibody and ARM compound. The blood was analyzed for concentration of the ARM compound as described in Example 201. At 72, 96, 120 and 168 hours, 3 animals were sacrificed from Groups 1 and 2 and blood was collected via cardiac puncture. The blood was processed and analyzed via flow cytometry as described in Example 201 for the levels of CD45+/CD3-/CD11 b+/Ly6Chi cells. The results are shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B.


Example 209: CD4/CD8 T Cell Depletion Study

MC38 tumors were initiated by subcutaneous injection of 1.5×106 MC38 cells in the flank of human CCR2 knock-in mice. After 5 days, 200 μg of Anti-CD8 (clone 2.43) and 200 μg of Anti-CD4 (clone GK1.5) were injected intraperitoneally (the control groups received isotype control antibodies). After 2 additional days, animals were randomized and anti-cotinine antibody having a heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 13 and a light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14 (rabbit variable region sequence with mouse IgG2a Fc domain) and ARM compound of Example 36 were dosed intravenously as a pre-mixed solution every 6 days. At the start of dosing and at 120 hours post-dosing flow cytometry was conducted on blood samples to confirm CD4/CD8 cell depletion (data not shown). Tumor volume was measured as described above in Example 204 and the results are shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The results demonstrate that tumor growth inhibition of the antibody/ARM compound is dependent upon the presence of CD4 and CD8 T cells.


Example 210: Mass Cytometry (CyTOF) Analysis of PBMCs from Healthy Donor vs. Cancer Patient

Mass cytometry (CyTOF) was used to analyze depletion of CCR2 expressing cells in PBMCs isolated from healthy donor and cancer patient to determine whether a combination of anti-cotinine antibody and ARM compound of Formula (I) selectively depletes CCR2 expressing cells.


CyTOF Antibodies

Metal tagged antibodies were either purchased directly from Fluidigm or were prepared in house using MaxPar® antibody conjugation kits (Fluidigm). For in-house conjugation reactions, purified antibodies, in BSA-free buffer were coupled to isotopically purified metals following the manufacturer's instructions (Fluidigm) (Lou X, Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2007; 46(32):6111-4). Following conjugation, the protein concentration of the metal labeled antibodies were measured on a NanoDrop ND-1000 (Thermo Fisher) at an absorbance of 280 nm and diluted to a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL in Candor PBS Antibody Stabilization solution (Candor Bioscience). All antibodies, antibodies with associated metal conjugated kits and/or metal-tagged secondary antibodies utilized in the CyTOF experiments, are listed in Table 9:

Mass Cytometry (CyTOF)

A compound treatment plate for PBMC incubation was prepared using an HP Dispenser (HP). First, a 10 μM stock of ARM compound of Example 36 was obtained. Then, using the HP Dispenser, 200 nL of the compound was added to the wells of a 96-well plate (Corning, 3799). An equal volume of DMSO was added to control wells. Second, anti-cotinine antibody (heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 11 and light chain of SEQ ID NO: 12) was diluted in AIM-V media (Gibco) and 2 μL of antibody was added to treatment wells or 2 μL of AIM-V media was added to control wells. Once the treatment plate was prepared, then PBMC samples were thawed.


Cryopreserved PBMC samples, from either a healthy donor (Hemacare) or a cancer patient (Discovery Life Sciences) were thawed in a 37° C. water bath. PBMC samples were then added to 8 mL warm AIM-V media (Gibco), pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in 1 mL AIM-V media. Cells were counted on the ViCell (Beckman Coulter). Equal numbers of PBMCs were transferred to each treatment well in the previously prepared 96-well plate and incubated at 37° C. for 24 hours.


Following a 24 hour incubation period, Protein Transport Inhibitor Cocktail (500×) (Invitrogen/eBioscience) was added to all wells and incubated at 37° C. for 2 hours. Samples were then centrifuged and washed twice with MaxPar phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (Fluidigm). Cells were then incubated with a viability reagent (200 nM cisplatin-198, Fluidigm) diluted in MaxPar PBS for 5 min at room temperature, then washed twice in MaxPar Cell Staining Buffer (Fluidigm). The resultant cell pellets were resuspended in MaxPar Cell Staining Buffer. Samples were then blocked for 10 minutes at room temperature in Human TruStain FcX (BioLegend). Immediately following, cells were stained with all cell surface markers, included in Table 9, for 20 minutes at room temperature. Following cell surface staining, samples were washed twice with MaxPar Cell Staining Buffer. Cells were then permeabilized using eBioscience FoxP3 fix/perm buffer (Thermo Fisher) for 45 min at 4° C. Samples were pelleted by centrifugation and washed twice in the fix/perm buffer from the eBioscience FoxP3 fix/perm kit (Thermo Fisher). Samples were resuspended in the same FoxP3 fix/perm buffer. All intracellular antibodies, listed in Table 9, were then added and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Following intracellular staining, cells were then pelleted by centrifugation and washed twice in the fix/perm buffer from the eBioscience FoxP3 fix/perm kit (Thermo Fisher). Cells were again resuspended in the FoxP3 fix/perm buffer and then incubated with secondary antibodies, anti-biotin and anti-FITC, for 25 minutes at room temperature. Samples were pelleted by centrifugation and washed twice with MaxPar Cell Staining Buffer. Cells were then resuspended in MaxPar Barcode Perm Buffer (Fluidigm) and then washed twice with the MaxPar Barcode Perm Buffer. To enable cell identification during CyTOF2 acquisition, each sample was then resuspended in Cell ID DNA Intercalator Ir (Fluidigm) diluted in MaxPar Fix/Perm Buffer (Fluidigm). Finally, to enable sample pooling, each sample was given a unique palladium barcode from the Cell-ID 20-Plex Pd Barcoding Kit (Fluidigm). Samples were incubated with the DNA Intercalator and palladium barcode at 4° C. minimally overnight or until time of CyTOF2 acquisition.


On the day of CyTOF2 acquisition, all samples were washed twice in Cell Staining Buffer. Following the second wash, and resuspension in residual amount of Cell Staining Buffer, all samples were pooled into a single sample and washed twice with 2 mL MilliQ Water (18.2m)). The final sample was then resuspended in 1 mL MilliQ Water (18.2m)) and strained through a 40 μm porosity Flowmi Strainer (Bel-Art). The pooled sample was then counted on a ViCell and diluted to 400,000 cells/mL in MilliQ Water (18.2m)). Finally, a 1:10 ratio of EQ Beads (Fluidigm) was added to the sample and was able to proceed with CyTOF2 (Fluidigm) acquisition using the Supersampler (Victorian Airship & Scientific Apparatus). All samples were acquired with CyTOF software version 6.0.626.


CyTOF Data Analysis

Raw FCS files were normalized, concatenated and debarcoded with standalone software CyTOF version 6.7.1014. Debarcoded FCS files were uploaded onto GSK Cytobank Enterprise (cytobank.org). EQ reference bead signal was removed from all samples. Viable cells were then identified using a combination Cisplatin Pt198 and Ir131 DNA Intercalator gating, with viable cells being defined as Cisplatin Pt198 low and Ir131 high. Viable cells were then further gated into viable singles, with a combination of the event length channel and CD45-89Y staining. Viable singlets were defined as events lower than 60 with a CD45 metal intensity greater than 30. Unsupervised clustering of the viable singlets was then completed with the viSNE application embedded within Cytobank.


Data is shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B. The results demonstrate that CCR2 expression is primarily restricted to target cells of interest for selective depletion (MDSCs) and that the CCR2 expressing target cells are selectively depleted in the presence of anti-cotinine antibody+ARM compound, but not in the presence of ARM compound alone.
