- Synthesis, characterization, and targeted chemotherapy of SCT200-linker-monomethyl auristatin E conjugates
-
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are currently among the most successful and important strategies for treating patients with solid tumors. ADCs are composed of a monoclonal antibody and warhead, which are conjugated via a linker. Currently, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) is the most widely applied warhead in the development of ADCs. However, MMAE-based ADCs are generally constructed using the MC-VC-PABC linker, and this design has limited structural diversity and some disadvantages. Accordingly, in this study, we generated three types of novel linker-MMAE (with alterations in the spacer, catabolizing area, and self-immolative compared with MC-VC-PABC-MMAE) in ADCs, termed SCT200-linker-MMAE conjugates, and then evaluated the linker-drug plasma stability and the rate of drug release by cathepsin B. The binding ability, internalization rates, and efficacy of all SCT200-linker-MMAE ADCs were systematically studied, and the expression of apoptosis-associated proteins and the therapeutic efficacies of SCT200-M-2, -C-2, and -C-4 were evaluated. The results showed that the activities of some of these ADCs were increased for epidermal growth factor receptor-positive tumors. Moreover, the novel linkers designed in this study can be linked with other antibodies to treat other types of cancer. Overall, these findings provide important insights into the application of SCT200-based linkers in ADCs.

- Development of bifunctional anti-PD-L1 antibody MMAE conjugate with cytotoxicity and immunostimulation
-
In recent years, tumor immunotherapy, especially the combination of PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors and chemotherapy, has developed rapidly. However, the systemic side effects induced by chemotherapy remain a crucial problem that needs to be addressed. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are exceptional target-specific prodrugs that greatly improve the therapeutic window of chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, designing PD-L1-targeting ADCs is an interesting research project. In this study, we confirmed for the first time that the commercial anti-PD-L1 antibody Atezolizumab has better endocytosis efficiencies than Avelumab, and was more suitable for ADC design. Then, the most popular cytotoxic payload MMAE was conjugated to Atezolizumab via a classical dipeptide (valine-alanine) linker to generate a bifunctional PD-L1 ADC (ADC 3). An in vitro cytotoxicity test indicated the potent tumor cell inhibitory activity of ADC 3, with EC50 values of 9.75 nM to 11.94 nM. In addition, a co-culture of PBMCs in vitro proved that ADC 3 retained the immune activation effect of the Atezolizumab antibody. Moreover, ADC 3 exhibited a higher tumor inhibition rate and tumor regression rate in humanized immune system mice. To the best of our knowledge, this is the most active PD-L1-ADC reported thus far, which may promote the development of immunotherapy and novel ADCs.

- An antibody-coupled drug targeting on EGFR, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof
-
The invention discloses an antibody coupling drug targeting on EGFR, a preparation method thereof and uses thereof. The antibody-conjugated drug targeting EGFR is named LR004-VC-MMAE consisting of anantibody, a cytotoxic drug and a linker, wherein the antibody drug conjugate has a structure represented by the formula I, wherein mAb is an LR004 monoclonal antibody, n=2-8. The novel antibody-conjugated drug LR004-VC-MMAE can not only target EGFR antigen, but also has strong cytotoxicity to tumor cells. Compared with LR004 itself, it did not affect the affinity, endocytosis and targeting of theantibody, and better retained its biological function. Compared to LR004, the antitumor effect of LR004-VC-MMAE antibody-conjugated drug is significantly improved, and the tumor disappeared. Comparedto LR004, LR004-VC-MMAE antibody-conjugated total antibody showed longer half-life, slower clearance rate, lower concentration of free MMAE in plasma, shorter half-life and faster clearance rate, which is conducive to reduce toxicity.

- Improved Methodology for the Synthesis of a Cathepsin B Cleavable Dipeptide Linker, Widely Used in Antibody-Drug Conjugate Research
-
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent an emerging class of biopharmaceutical agents that deliver highly potent anticancer agents (payloads) selectively to tumors or components associated with the tumor microenvironment. The linker, responsible for the connection between the antibody and payload, is a crucial component of ADCs. In certain examples the linker is composed of a cleavable short peptide which imparts an additional aspect of selectivity. Especially prevalent is the cathepsin B cleavable Mc-Val-Cit-PABOH linker utilized in many pre-clinical ADC candidates, as well as the FDA approved ADC ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin). An alternative route for the synthesis of the cathepsin B cleavable Mc-Val-Cit-PABOH linker is reported herein that involved six steps from l-Citrulline and proceeded with a 50% overall yield. In this modified route, the spacer (a para-aminobenzyl alcohol moiety) was incorporated via HATU coupling followed by dipeptide formation. Importantly, this route avoided undesirable epimerization and proceeded with improved overall yield. Utilizing this methodology, a drug-linker construct incorporating a potent small-molecule inhibitor of tubulin polymerization (referred to as KGP05), was synthesized as a representative example.

- Discovery of Peptidomimetic Antibody-Drug Conjugate Linkers with Enhanced Protease Specificity
-
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have become an important therapeutic modality for oncology, with three approved by the FDA and over 60 others in clinical trials. Despite the progress, improvements in ADC therapeutic index are desired. Peptide-based ADC linkers that are cleaved by lysosomal proteases have shown sufficient stability in serum and effective payload-release in targeted cells. If the linker can be preferentially hydrolyzed by tumor-specific proteases, safety margin may improve. However, the use of peptide-based linkers limits our ability to modulate protease specificity. Here we report the structure-guided discovery of novel, nonpeptidic ADC linkers. We show that a cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxamide-containing linker is hydrolyzed predominantly by cathepsin B while the valine-citrulline dipeptide linker is not. ADCs bearing the nonpeptidic linker are as efficacious and stable in vivo as those with the dipeptide linker. Our results strongly support the application of the peptidomimetic linker and present new opportunities for improving the selectivity of ADCs.

- Development and properties of valine-alanine based antibody-drug conjugates with monomethyl auristatin E as the potent payload
-
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), designed to selectively deliver cytotoxic agents to antigen-bearing cells, are poised to become an important class of cancer therapeutics. Human epithelial growth factor receptor (HER2) is considered an effective target for cancer treatment, and a HER2-targeting ADC has shown promising results. Most ADCs undergoing clinical evaluation contain linkers that have a lysosomal protease-cleavable dipeptide, of which the most common is valine-citrulline (VC). However, valine-alanine (VA), another dipeptide comprising two human essential amino acids, has been used in next generation ADCs loading new toxins, but the druggable properties of ADCs loaded the most popular monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) remain to be further explored. In this study, we generated VA-based ADCs that connected MMAE to an anti-HER2 antibody. We studied the differences in the preparation process, in vitro stability, cathepsin B activity and in vitro cytotoxicity of VA-based ADC compared to the ADC of VC. VA had comparable performance to VC, which preliminarily displays its practicability. Additional efficacy and safety studies in a xenograft model indicate this novel ADC exerted potent anti-tumor activity and negligible toxicity. The results of this study show the application potential of VA-based ADC with MMAE as the payload.
