Coibamide A (1) is a highly N-methylated cyclodepsipeptide with low nanomolar antiproliferative activities against various cancer cell lines. In previous work, we discovered a simplified analogue, [MeAla3-MeAla6]-coibamide (1a), which exhibited the same inhibitory abilities as coibamide A. Herein, to reduce the whole-body toxicity and improve the solubility of 1a, two novel peptide-drug conjugates RGD-SS-CA (2) and RGD-VC-CA (3) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Composed of cyclodepsipeptide 1a, a tumor-homing RGD motif, and a conditionally labile linker, the conjugates are expected to release 1a tracelessly in specific tumor microenvironments. Compared with RGD-VC-CA (3), RGD-SS-CA (2) proved to be superior in in vitro drug release and cytotoxicity tests. Notably, intravenous injection of RGD-SS-CA (2) into mice-bearing human tumor xenografts induced significant tumor growth suppression with negligible toxicity. Therefore, as a novel prodrug of the coibamide A analogue, conjugate 2 has great potential for further exploration in cancer drug discovery.

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.

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.

The present disclosure provides novel polypeptide-therapeutic compound or hormone-therapeutic compound conjugates using cleavable or non-cleavable linkers, whereby the polypeptide or hormone serves to target specific cells using receptor expression on the targeted cell to bind the ligand (polypeptide or hormone) carrying the therapeutic compound unlike antibody drug conjugates. Upon binding, the ligand and the therapeutic compound (multiples of the therapeutic compound in some embodiments) enter the cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis, and release drugs conjugated to the ligand by linkers, to interact with intracellular components to enhance, restore, or block a signal transduction process. The ligands for the polypeptide-therapeutic compound or hormone-therapeutic compound conjugates include, but are not limited to: cytokines, growth factors and hormones among other proteins with corresponding cell surface specific receptors. The disorders targeted by such polypeptide-therapeutic compound or hormone-therapeutic compound conjugates include, but are not limited to: immunological disorders (e.g., allergy and autoimmune disorders) and cancer.

-
, (2019/01/24)
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.
