Pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) and their dimers (bis-PBDs) have emerged as some of the most potent chemotherapeutic compounds and are currently under development as novel payloads in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). However, when used as stand-alone therapeutics or as warheads for small molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs), dose-limiting toxicities are often observed. As an elegant solution to this inherent problem, we designed and synthesized a diazepine-ring-opened bis-PBD prodrug (pro-PBD-PBD) folate conjugate lacking the one of the two imine moieties found in the corresponding free bis-PBD. Upon entering a targeted cell, cleavage of the linker system, including the hydrolysis of an oxazolidine moiety, results in the formation of a reactive intermediate which possesses a newly formed aldehyde as well as an aromatic amine. A fast and spontaneous intramolecular ring-closing reaction subsequently takes place as the aromatic amine adds to the aldehyde with the loss of water to give the imine, and as a result, the diazepine ring, thereby delivering the bis-PBD to the targeted cell. The in vitro and in vivo activity of this conjugate has been evaluated on folate receptor positive KB cells. Sub-nanomolar activity with good specificity and high cure rates with minimal toxicity have been observed.

Compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib: wherein: A is CH2, or a single bond; R2 is selected from: R, OH, OR, CO2H, CO2R, COH, COR, SO2R, CN; R6, R7 and R9 are independently selected from H, R, OH, OR, halo, amino, NHR, nitro, Me3Sn; and R8 is selected from H, R, OH, OR, halo, amino, NHR, nitro, Me3Sn, where R is as defined above, or the compound is a dimer with each monomer being the same or different and being of formula Ia or Ib, where the R8 groups of the monomers form together a bridge having the formula —X—R′—X— linking the monomers, where R′ is an alkylene chain containing from 3 to 12 carbon atoms, which chain may be interrupted by one or more hetero-atoms and/or aromatic rings and may contain one or more carbon-carbon double or triple bonds, and each X is independently selected from O, S, or N; except that in a compound of formula Ia when A is a single bond, then R2 is not CH═CH(CONH2) or CH═CH(CONMe2). Other related compounds are also disclosed.
