Synthesis and Evaluation of Camptothecin Antibody-Drug Conjugates.

ABSTRACT: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that incorporate the exatecan derivative DXd in their payload are showing promising clinical results in solid tumor indications. The payload has an F-ring that also contains a second chiral center, both of which complicate its synthesis and derivatization. Here we report on new camptothecin-ADCs that do not have an F-ring in their payloads yet behave similarly to DXd-bearing conjugates in vitro and in vivo. This simplification allows easier derivatization of camptothecin A and B rings for structure-activity relationship studies and payload optimization. ADCs having different degrees of bystander killing and the ability to release hydroxyl or thiol-bearing metabolites following peptide linker cleavage were investigated.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel quaternary ammonium antibody drug conjugates based on camptothecin derivatives.

Project description:Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a highly promising class of cancer therapeutics, comprising antibodies, effector molecules, and linkers. Among them, DS-8201a with DXd as the effector molecule, has shown remarkable anti-tumor efficacy against solid tumors, sparking a surge of interest in ADCs with camptothecin derivatives as ADC effector molecules. In this study, we introduced and successfully constructed quaternary ammonium ADCs utilizing camptothecin derivatives WL-14 and CPTS-1 for the first time. All four ADCs displayed excellent stability under physiological conditions and in plasma, facilitating their prolonged circulation in vivo. Moreover, the four ADCs, employing Val-Cit or Val-Ala dipeptide linkers effectively achieved complete release of the effector molecules via cathepsin B. Although, the in vitro antitumor activity of these ADCs was comparatively limited, the development of quaternary ammonium ADCs based on novel camptothecin derivatives as effector molecules is still a viable and promising strategy. Significantly, our study provides valuable insights into the crucial role of linker optimization in ADCs design.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of anti-CD123 antibody drug conjugates.

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) account for the development of drug resistance and increased recurrence rate in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Targeted drug delivery to leukemia stem cells remains a major challenge in AML chemotherapy. Overexpressed interleukin-3 receptor alpha chain, CD123, on the surface of leukemia stem cells was reported to be a potential target in AML treatment. Here, we designed and developed an antibody drug conjugate (CD123-CPT) by integrating anti-CD123 antibody with a chemotherapeutic agent, Camptothecin (CPT), via a disulfide linker. The linker is biodegradable in the presence of Glutathione (GSH, an endogenous component in cells), which leads to release of CPT. Anti-CD123 antibody conjugates showed significant higher cellular uptake in CD123-overexpressed tumor cells. More importantly, CD123-CPT demonstrated potent inhibitory effects on CD123-overexpressed tumor cells. Consequently, these results provide a promising targeted chemotherapeutical strategy for AML treatment.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Antibody Drug Conjugates Based on an Antibody Expression System: Conamax.

Project description:Antibody production for ADCs (or in general) is commonly performed by CHO-based platforms and limited by volumetric productivity, expensive downstream purification, and extended optimization timelines. The Conamax platform is a novel microbial-based protein production and secretion system. A suite of synthetic biology tools have enabled high volumetric productivity (>1 g/L/d) and glycoengineering to produce simple and consistent human-like post-translational modifications. Conamax can be engineered to secrete genuine, functional monoclonal antibodies that have been successfully used to make antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) via cysteine-linked conjugation. Specifically, we evaluated ADCs derived from both a Conamax-produced anti-HER2 antibody and comparable commercially sourced Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-produced material in an NCI-N87 gastric cancer xenograft model. Conjugation efficiency and resulting analytical data indicated comparable ADC quality and attributes. No statistical difference was observed between Conamax- and CHO-derived test articles thereby indicating similar efficacy and function. These results further demonstrate the potential of Conamax as a useful platform for the discovery and production of therapeutic antibodies and ADCs.

Rapid Evaluation of Antibody Fragment Endocytosis for Antibody Fragment-Drug Conjugates.

Project description:Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as the most promising strategy in targeted cancer treatment. Recent strategies for the optimization ADCs include the development of antibody fragment-drug conjugates (FDCs). The critical factor in the successful development of ADCs and FDCs is the identification of tumor antigen-specific and internalizing antibodies (Abs). However, systematic comparison or correlation studies of internalization rates with different antibody formats have not been reported previously. In this study, we generated a panel of scFv-phage Abs using phage display technology and their corresponding scFv and scFv-Fc fragments and evaluated their relative internalization kinetics in relation to their antibody forms. We found that the relative rates and levels of internalization of scFv-phage antibodies positively correlate with their scFv and scFv-Fc forms. Our systematic study demonstrates that endocytosis of scFv-phage can serve as a predictive indicator for the assessment of Ab fragment internalization. Additionally, the present study demonstrates that endocytic antibodies can be rapidly screened and selected from phage antibody libraries prior to the conversion of phage antibodies for the generation of the conventional antibody format. Our strategic approach for the identification and evaluation of endocytic antibodies would expedite the selection for optimal antibodies and antibody fragments and be broadly applicable to ADC and FDC development.

Polylactide conjugates of camptothecin with different drug release abilities.

Project description:Camptothecin-polylactide conjugates (CMPT-PLA) were synthesized by covalent incorporation of CMPT into PLA of different microstructure, i.e., atactic PLA and atactic-block-isotactically enriched PLA (Pm = 0.79) via urethane bonds. The kinetic release of CPMT from CMPT-PLA conjugates, tested in vitro under different conditions, is possible in both cases and notably, strongly dependent on PLA microstructure. It shows that release properties of drug-PLA conjugates can be tailored by controlled design of the PLA microstructure, and allow in the case of CMPT-PLA conjugates for the development of highly controlled biodegradable CMPT systems-important delivery systems for anti-cancer agents.

Synthesis and preliminary biological evaluation of high-drug-load paclitaxel-antibody conjugates for tumor-targeted chemotherapy.

Project description:The goal of this study was to design paclitaxel (PTX)-monoclonal antibody (mAb) prodrug conjugates (PTXMAbs) with the ability to deliver therapeutically significant doses of the drug to the tumor while avoiding the previously observed solubility limitations of conjugates with PTX:mAb molar ratios of >3. New PTX conjugates were synthesized using the discrete poly(ethylene glycol) (dPEG) as linkers. These compounds, PTX-L-Lys[(dPEG12)(3)-dPEG4]-dPEG6-NHS (9a and 9b, for L = GL or SX, respectively), were then conjugated to the antiepidermal growth factor receptor mAb, C225 at increasing PTX:C225 ratios, producing completely soluble conjugates. Unlike the earlier PTXMAbs, buffered solutions of these conjugates remained homogeneous for extended periods of time. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis indicated preserved immunogenicity of the conjugates at all four substitution ratios, while cytotoxicity studies in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells indicated preservation of drug cytotoxicity. These conjugates may have potential in the development of high-drug-load tumor-targeting taxanes.

The regio-selective synthesis of 10-hydroxy camptothecin norcantharidin conjugates and their biological activity evaluation in vitro.

Project description:A series of conjugates of 10-hydroxy camptothecin (HCPT) with functionalized norcantharidin derivatives were regio-selectively synthesized in the condition of (3-dimethylaminopropyl) ethyl-carbodiimide monohydrochloride in a moderate yield. The synthesized conjugate HCPT pro-drugs can also suppress cancer cell growth in vitro. These conjugated pro-drug constructs possess therapeutic potential as novel bi-functional conjugate platforms for cancer treatment.

Synthesis of site-specific antibody-drug conjugates using unnatural amino acids.

Project description:Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) allow selective targeting of cytotoxic drugs to cancer cells presenting tumor-associated surface markers, thereby minimizing systemic toxicity. Traditionally, the drug is conjugated nonselectively to cysteine or lysine residues in the antibody. However, these strategies often lead to heterogeneous products, which make optimization of the biological, physical, and pharmacological properties of an ADC challenging. Here we demonstrate the use of genetically encoded unnatural amino acids with orthogonal chemical reactivity to synthesize homogeneous ADCs with precise control of conjugation site and stoichiometry. p-Acetylphenylalanine was site-specifically incorporated into an anti-Her2 antibody Fab fragment and full-length IgG in Escherichia coli and mammalian cells, respectively. The mutant protein was selectively and efficiently conjugated to an auristatin derivative through a stable oxime linkage. The resulting conjugates demonstrated excellent pharmacokinetics, potent in vitro cytotoxic activity against Her2(+) cancer cells, and complete tumor regression in rodent xenograft treatment models. The synthesis and characterization of homogeneous ADCs with medicinal chemistry-like control over macromolecular structure should facilitate the optimization of ADCs for a host of therapeutic uses.

Synthesis of site-specific antibody-drug conjugates by ADP-ribosyl cyclases.

Project description:Most of the current antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in clinic are heterogeneous mixtures. To produce homogeneous ADCs, established procedures often require multiple steps or long reaction times. The introduced mutations or foreign sequences may cause high immunogenicity. Here, we explore a new concept of transforming CD38 enzymatic activity into a facile approach for generating site-specific ADCs. This was achieved through coupling bifunctional antibody-CD38 fusion proteins with designer dinucleotide-based covalent inhibitors with stably attached payloads. The resulting adenosine diphosphate-ribosyl cyclase-enabled ADC (ARC-ADC) with a drug-to-antibody ratio of 2 could be rapidly generated through single-step conjugation. The generated ARC-ADC targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) displays excellent stability and potency against HER2-positive breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates a new strategy for production of site-specific ADCs. It may provide a general approach for the development of a novel class of ADCs with potentially enhanced properties.

Real-Time Analysis on Drug-Antibody Ratio of Antibody-Drug Conjugates for Synthesis, Process Optimization, and Quality Control.

Project description:Drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is important for their therapeutic efficacy and pharmacokinetics, therefore control on DAR in synthesis process is a key for ADC quality control. Although various analytical methods were reported, the real-time monitoring on DAR is still a challenge because time-consuming sample preparation is usually needed during the analysis. Antibody deglycosylation of ADC simplifies DAR measurement, however long-time PNGaseF digestion for deglycosylation hampers the real-time detection. Here, we report a rapid DAR analysis within 15?min by robust deglycosylation treatment and LC-MS detection that enables real-time DAR monitoring for optimization on ADC synthetic process. With this approach, we were able to screen suitable conjugation conditions efficiently and afford the ADCs with expected DARs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on real-time DAR analysis of ADCs for conjugation optimization and quality control, compatible with random lysine-linked ADCs, glycosite-specific ADCs, and the complicated dual-payload ADCs.
