Cryptophycin-52 (CR52), a tubulin inhibitor, exhibits promising antitumor activity in vitro (picomolar level) and in mouse xenograft models. However, the narrow therapeutic window in clinical trials limits its further development. Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), formed by coupling cytotoxic compound (payload) to an antibody via a linker, can deliver drug to tumor locations in a targeted manner by antibody, enhancing the therapeutic effects and reducing toxic and side effects. In this study, we aim to explore the possibility of CR52-based ADC for tumor targeted therapy. Due to the lack of a coupling site in CR52, its prodrug cryptophycin-55 (CR55) containing a free hydroxyl was synthesized and conjugated to the model antibody trastuzumab (anti-HER2 antibody drug approved by FDA for breast cancer therapy) via the linkers based on Mc-NHS and Mc-Val-Cit-PAB-PNP. The average drug-to-antibody ratios (DARs) of trastuzumab-CR55 conjugates (named T-L1-CR55, T-L2-CR55, and T-L3-CR55) were 3.50, 3.29, and 3.35, respectively. These conjugates exhibited potent cytotoxicity in HER2-positive tumor cell lines with IC50 values at low nanomolar levels (0.58–1.19 nM). Further, they displayed significant antitumor activities at the doses of 10 mg/kg in established ovarian cancer (SKOV3) and gastric cancer (NCI–N87) xenograft models without overt toxicities. Finally, the drug releases were analyzed and the results indicated that T-L3-CR55 was able to effectively release CR55 and further epoxidized to CR52, which may be responsible for its best performance in antitumor activities. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that these conjugates have the potential for tumor targeted therapy, which provides insights to further research the CR55/CR52-based ADC for tumor therapy.

Allylation of in situ generated β,γ-unsaturated aldehydes affords rapid access to vinyl halide analogues of fragment A of the cryptophycins. Three scaffolds are prepared in gram quantities by a ring-closing metathesis approach. Derivatization via a variety of cross-coupling protocols is possible, which affords novel analogues of these potent antimitotic agents.
