Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and more specifically to an anti-B7-H3 antibody and its preparation and application.
  • Tumor growth and metastasis depend to a large extent on its ability to evade host immune surveillance and defeat host defenses. Although most tumors express antigens that can be recognized by the host immune system to varying degrees, in many cases, the inefficient activation of effector T cells triggers an insufficient immune response.
  • CD4+T-lymphocytes are the main organizers of immune responses and autoimmune responses in most mammals. It has been found that the activation of CD4+ helper T-cells is mediated by costimulation between antigen-presenting cells and naive CD4+ T-lymphocytes, and this process requires the interaction between the two cells.
  • the antigen-presenting cell In the first interaction, the antigen-presenting cell must display the relevant target antigen on the cell surface through the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) so that it can bind to the T-cell receptor of the original CD4+ T-lymphocytes. Body (“TCR").
  • MHC major histocompatibility complex
  • TCR body
  • the antigen-presenting cell ligand must bind to the CD28 receptor on the surface of CD4+ T-lymphocytes.
  • CD4 helper T-cells After CD4 helper T-cells receive costimulatory signals, they can respond to cytokines (such as interleukin-2 and interleukin-12) to further develop into Th1 cells. These cells can produce interferon- ⁇ (IFN- ⁇ ) and tumor necrosis factor- ⁇ (TNF- ⁇ ), which further mediate the inflammatory response to target cells expressing the target antigen. B-cell activation and proliferation also occur, which in turn produces specific antibodies against the target antigen. During T-cell activation, the absence of any co-stimulatory signal will cause T cells to enter a state of clonal incompetence. Under pathological conditions, Th1 cells are key participants in a variety of organ-specific autoimmune diseases, such as type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
  • B7 family members are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily with immunoglobulin-V-like domains and immunoglobulin-C-like domains (eg, IgV-IgC).
  • the IgV and IgC domains of B7 family members are each encoded by a single exon, and the other exons encode the leader sequence, transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic domain.
  • the cytoplasmic domain is short, ranging from 19 to 62 amino acid residues in length and can be encoded by multiple exons.
  • B7-H3 is unique in that its main human form contains two extracellular IgV-IgC domains in series (ie, IgV-IgC-IgV-IgC). Members of the B7 family are predicted to form back-to-back, non-covalent homodimers on the cell surface, and these dimers have been found to be related to B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86).
  • 4Ig-B7-H3 Four variants of the extracellular domain of immunoglobulins (“4Ig-B7-H3") have been identified and found to be the more common form of human protein. Because the native mouse form (2Ig) and the human 4Ig form show similar functions, no functional difference between the two forms was observed. 4Ig-B7-H3 molecules inhibit natural killer cell-mediated cancer cell lysis). It has been found that human B7-H3 (2Ig form) promotes T-cell activation and IFN- ⁇ production by binding to specific receptors on activated T cells.
  • B7-H3 mediates T cell costimulation and co-inhibition, the protein's mode of action is complicated.
  • B7-H3 binds to (TREM)-like transcript 2 (TLT-2) and co-stimulates T cell activation, and binds to a receptor that has not yet been identified to mediate T cell co-suppression.
  • TLT-2 TLT-2-like transcript 2
  • B7-H3 becomes an inhibitor of natural killer cells and osteoblasts. This inhibition can be carried out through interactions with members of most signaling pathways.
  • TCR T cell receptor
  • B7-H3 co-stimulates the proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells.
  • B7-H3 also stimulates IFN- ⁇ production and CD8+ lytic activity.
  • this protein may also inhibit T cell activation through NFAT (nuclear factor for activated T cells), NF- ⁇ B (nuclear factor ⁇ B) and AP-1 (activator protein-1) factors.
  • NFAT nuclear factor for activated T cells
  • NF- ⁇ B nuclear factor ⁇ B
  • AP-1 activator protein-1
  • human malignant tumor cells show a significant increase in the expression of B7-H3 protein and this increase in expression is related to an increase in disease severity, indicating that B7-H3 is used by tumors as an immune escape pathway.
  • human B7-H3 is also known to be expressed on a variety of other cancer cells (for example, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer).
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide an anti-B7-H3 antibody and its preparation and application.

Description

抗B7-H3抗体及其制备和应用 技术领域
本发明涉及生物医药领域,更具体地涉及一种抗B7-H3抗体及其制备和应用。
背景技术
肿瘤的生长和转移在很大程度上取决于其逃避宿主免疫监视并战胜宿主防御的能力。虽然大部分肿瘤表达可在不同程度上被宿主免疫系统识别的抗原,但是在许多情况下,由于效应T细胞的低效活化而引发不充分的免疫反应。
CD4+T-淋巴细胞是大多数哺乳动物免疫反应和自身免疫反应的主要组织者。已发现CD4+辅助性T-细胞的活化是通过抗原递呈细胞与初始CD4+T-淋巴细胞之间的共刺激所介导的,该过程需要两种细胞间的相互作用。在第一种相互作用中,抗原递呈细胞必须将相关的靶抗原通过主要组织相容性复合物(MHC)展示在细胞表面,使得其可结合初始CD4+T-淋巴细胞的T-细胞受体(“TCR”)。在第二种相互作用中,抗原递呈细胞的配体必须与CD4+T-淋巴细胞表面的CD28受体结合。CD4辅助性T-细胞在接受了共刺激信号后,便能够对细胞因子(例如白介素-2和白介素-12)产生相应,从而进一步发育成Th1细胞。这些细胞能产生干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α),进一步介导对表达靶抗原的靶细胞的炎症反应。B-细胞活化和增殖同样也会发生,进而产生针对靶抗原的特异性抗体。在T-细胞活化期间,任意一种共刺激信号的缺失,将导致T细胞进入克隆无能状态。在病理状态下,Th1细胞是多种器官特异性自身免疫疾病,例如I型糖尿病、风湿性关节炎和多发性硬化的关键参与者。
B7家族成员是具有免疫球蛋白-V样结构域和免疫球蛋白-C样结构域(例如,IgV-IgC)的免疫球蛋白超家族成员。B7家族成员的IgV和IgC结构域各自由单一外显子编码,另外的外显子编码前导序列、跨膜结构域和胞质结构域。胞质结构域是短的,长度在19至62个氨基酸残基范围内且可由多个外显子编码。
B7-H3的独特之处在于其主要人类形式包含两个细胞外串联的IgV-IgC结构域(即,IgV-IgC-IgV-IgC)。B7家族的成员被预测为在细胞表面形成背靠背、非共价的同二聚体,且已发现这些二聚体与B7-1(CD80)和B7-2(CD86)有关。已鉴定到四个免疫球蛋白胞外域的变体(“4Ig-B7-H3”)并发现其是更常见的人蛋白质形式。因为天然的小鼠形式(2Ig)和人4Ig形式显示出相似的功能,未观察到这两种形式之间的功能差异。4Ig-B7-H3分子抑制自然杀伤细胞介导的癌细胞裂解)。已发现人B7-H3(2Ig形式)通过结合活化的T细胞上的特定受体促进T-细胞活化和IFN-γ产生。
当B7-H3介导T细胞共刺激和共抑制时,该蛋白质的作用方式是复杂的。B7-H3结合(TREM)-样转录物2(TLT-2)并共刺激T细胞活化,而且结合至今仍未确认的受体来介导T细胞的共抑制。另外,通过与未知受体的相互作用,B7-H3成为自然杀伤细胞和成骨细胞的抑制因子,该抑制可通过与大多数信号通路的成员的相互作用进行,T细胞受体(TCR)通过这些信号通路调节基因转录(例如NFTA、NF-κB或AP-1因子)。B7-H3共刺激CD4+和CD8+T-细胞的增殖。B7-H3还刺激IFN-γ产生和CD8+的裂解活性。然而,该蛋白质还可能通过NFAT(用于活化的T细胞的核因子)、NF-κB(核因子κB)和AP- 1(激活蛋白-1)因子来抑制T细胞活化。B7-H3还被认为能在体内抑制Th1、Th2或Th17。
多个独立研究已表明人恶性肿瘤细胞在B7-H3蛋白表达方面表现出显著的增加且这种表达增加与疾病严重度的增加有关,表明B7-H3被肿瘤作为免疫逃避通路利用。人B7-H3除了表达在成神经细胞瘤细胞上,还已知其表达在多种其他癌细胞(例如,胃癌、卵巢癌和非小细胞肺癌)上。通过阻断B7-H3与其受体的结合,或以B7-H3作为肿瘤高表达抗原开发相应的靶向治疗产品,是治疗多种不同肿瘤的潜在手段。
目前,现有技术中针对B7-H3开发的肿瘤靶向治疗产品还有许多的不足,本领域需要开发新的治疗性抗体相关产品。

具体实施方式
本发明人经过广泛而深入地研究,发现一种抗B7-H3抗体。本发明还提供了该抗体的制备方法和相关应用。本发明的抗体对靶蛋白B7-H3拥有高亲和力和高选择性,能够有效地被细胞内吞,且易于表达和纯化。利用本发明的抗体制备成ADC在动物模型中表现出明显的肿瘤抑制效果。在此基础上完成了本发明。
具体地,本发明分别采用B7-H3-his蛋白和过表达B7-H3的CHO-K细胞,通过皮下、腹腔多点注射免疫健康Balb/c小鼠,免疫3-4次后去血清效价最高的小鼠,安乐死后取脾脏构建噬菌体展示库。经过三轮液相筛选,用B7-H3-His包被酶标板,加入抗B7-H3的Fab上清,通过ELISA筛选获得特异性结合B7-H3的阳性克隆。对阳性克隆测序,并进行细胞水平结合验证以及猴B7-H3交叉结合验证,将能同时与细胞水平B7-H3和猴B7-H3结合的候选抗体进行全长抗体构建。
同时,用4000多例人PBMC样本,进行RNA的抽提,并根据IMGT数据库设计了不同germline的引物,并按照文献报道的人源基因占比,设定建库方案,共组建了四个不同germline占比的百亿库,合并为千亿级抗体库。经过三轮液相筛选后,用Anti-Fd包被酶标板,然后加入抗B7-H3的Fab上清,通过夹心法ELISA筛选获得特异性结合B7-H3的阳性克隆。将获得的阳性克隆进行测序,得到的单克隆进行细胞水平结合、猴子B7-H3结合的验证,将能与细胞水平B7-H3以及猴子B7-H3结合的候选抗体进行全长抗体构建。
将载有上述小鼠免疫库和人源库筛选到的抗体轻链和重链的质粒共转染ExpiCHO-S细胞,表达7天后收集细胞表达上清,利用Protein A亲和层析柱进行纯化,纯化后通过SDS-PAGE和SEC鉴定抗体的纯度。
纯化后的抗体,经过蛋白水平结合、种属交叉检测、细胞水平结合以及内吞或活性检测。综合所有实验结果,最终获得了8条小鼠免疫库和3条人源库的候选抗体。进一步的,在小鼠免疫库候选抗体中,选择了其中两个抗体进行人源化。通过CDR移植将鼠源的抗体的CDR移植到对应的人源抗体骨架上,然后通过3D结构模拟设计若干对轻重链的突变体,瞬转表达之后验证抗体的活性。
B7-H3
在细胞免疫反应中,T细胞的增殖和活化不仅需要T细胞受体TCR识别APC或肿瘤细胞表面MHC提呈的第一信号,还需要共刺激分子提供的第二信号。B7-CD28超家族是目前发现的共刺激分子家族之一,属于免疫球蛋白超家族。B7家族分子可提供刺激信号来增强和维持T细胞免疫应答,也可产生抑制信号来限制和减弱T细胞免疫反应。因此该家族在肿瘤疾病、器官移植和自身免疫病中发挥重要作用。
根据功能,B7家族可以分为3类。
第一组:B7-1(CD80)和B7-2(CD86)。
第二组:B7-H1(PD-L1)和B7-DC(PD-L2)
第三组:B7-H3(CD276)和B7-H4(B7x)组成。它们的受体尚未被确定,但被认为参与了共刺激和共抑制途径。
B7-H3(B7 homolog 3 protein)又名CD276,是B7-CD28家族重要的免疫检查点分子。它是Chapoval等人于2001年在人树突状细胞cDNA文库中鉴定到的B7家族成员。B7-H3主要以膜蛋白和可溶形式存在,可溶的B7-H3(soluble B7-H3,sB7-H3)由膜蛋白经金属蛋白酶剪切而来。此外,在外泌体和其他胞外小泡中也发现了B7-H3蛋白。
B7-H3是一种T细胞共抑制分子,具有部分共刺激功能。B7-H3可有效抑制T细胞和NK细胞功能,对骨发育也有作用。
B7-H3在多种恶性肿瘤中均有表达,与恶性肿瘤的生长、转移、复发、预后不良 等因素密切相关。B7-H3可下调T辅助1型介导的免疫反应抑制CD4+T细胞活化,并抑制细胞因子的产生,因而可能发挥促进癌细胞免疫逃逸的作用。
B7-H3是由316个氨基酸组成的I型跨膜糖蛋白,分子量为45-66kDa,其与B7-H1(PD-L1)有相似的分子结构。它包含一个推定的28AA信号肽,一个由免疫球蛋白恒定(IgC)和可变(IgV)结构组成的217AA细胞外区域,一个跨膜区域和45个氨基酸的胞质结构域。该基因由10个外显子组成,其中4-7个外显子编码胞外IgV-IgC结构域。
目前发现B7-H3有两种存在形式:2Ig-B7-H3和4Ig-B7-H3。2Ig-B7-H3表达于鼠与人的细胞中,其有细胞外的IgV-IgC结构;4Ig-B7-H3仅表达于人细胞中,由串联重复的IgV-IgC-IgV-IgC结构组成。人类B7-H3的主要存在形式为4IgB7-H3,位于15号染色体。小鼠B7-H3基因则位于第9号染色体。B7-H3是进化最保守的B7家族成员之一,因为它在从硬骨鱼类到哺乳动物的各种物种中普遍表达。
B7-H3转录本广泛表达于心脏、肝脏、胎盘、前列腺、睾丸、子宫、胰腺、小肠和结肠等组织。而B7-H3蛋白的表达更多地局限于细胞表面,例如活化的树突状细胞、单核细胞、T细胞、B细胞和NK细胞。
B7-H3异常髙表达于多种癌细胞或组织中,包括胃癌、肺癌、前列腺癌、肾癌、胰腺癌、卵巢癌、乳腺癌、子宫内膜癌、肝癌、结肠直肠癌、口腔癌、膀胱癌、骨肉瘤及血液系统恶性疾病。
调节B7-H3表达的分子机制尚不清楚,但B7-H3蛋白的表达与miR-29水平成反比,且B7-H3上的miR-29结合位点在进化中是保守的。
抗体
如本文所用,术语“抗体”或“免疫球蛋白”是有相同结构特征的约150000道尔顿的异四聚糖蛋白,其由两个相同的轻链(L)和两个相同的重链(H)组成。每条轻链通过一个共价二硫键与重链相连,而不同免疫球蛋白同种型的重链间的二硫键数目不同。每条重链和轻链也有规则间隔的链内二硫键。每条重链的一端有可变区(VH),其后是多个恒定区。每条轻链的一端有可变区(VL),另一端有恒定区;轻链的恒定区与重链的第一个恒定区相对,轻链的可变区与重链的可变区相对。特殊的氨基酸残基在轻链和重链的可变区之间形成界面。
如本文所用,术语“可变”表示抗体中可变区的某些部分在序列上有所不同,它形成了各种特定抗体对其特定抗原的结合和特异性。然而,可变性并不均匀地分布在整个抗体可变区中。它集中于轻链和重链可变区中称为互补决定区(CDR)或超变区中的三个片段中。可变区中较保守的部分称为构架区(FR)。天然重链和轻链的可变区中各自包含四个FR区,它们大致上呈β-折叠构型,由形成连接环的三个CDR相连,在某些情况下可形成部分β折叠结构。每条链中的CDR通过FR区紧密地靠在一起并与另一链的CDR一起形成了抗体的抗原结合部位(参见Kabat等,NIH Publ.No.91-3242,卷I,647-669页(1991))。恒定区不直接参与抗体与抗原的结合,但是它们表现出不同的效应功能,例如参与抗体的依赖于抗体的细胞毒性。
脊椎动物抗体(免疫球蛋白)的“轻链”可根据其恒定区的氨基酸序列归为明显 不同的两类(称为κ和λ)中的一类。根据其重链恒定区的氨基酸序列,免疫球蛋白可以分为不同的种类。主要有5类免疫球蛋白:IgA、IgD、IgE、IgG和IgM,其中一些还可进一步分成亚类(同种型),如IgG1、IgG2、IgG3、IgG4、IgA和IgA2。对应于不同类免疫球蛋白的重链恒定区分别称为α、δ、ε、γ、和μ。不同类免疫球蛋白的亚单位结构和三维构型是本领域人员所熟知的。
一般,抗体的抗原结合特性可由位于重链和轻链可变区的3个特定的区域来描述,称为可变区域(CDR),将该段间隔成4个框架区域(FR),4个FR的氨基酸序列相对比较保守,不直接参与结合反应。这些CDR形成环状结构,通过其间的FR形成的β折叠在空间结构上相互靠近,重链上的CDR和相应轻链上的CDR构成了抗体的抗原结合位点。可以通过比较同类型的抗体的氨基酸序列来确定是哪些氨基酸构成了FR或CDR区域。
本发明不仅包括完整的抗体,还包括具有免疫活性的抗体的片段或抗体与其他序列形成的融合蛋白。因此,本发明还包括所述抗体的片段、衍生物和类似物。
在本发明中,抗体包括用本领域技术人员熟知技术所制备的鼠的、嵌合的、人源化的或者全人的抗体。重组抗体,例如嵌合的和人源化的单克隆抗体,包括人的和非人的部分,可以通过标准的DNA重组技术获得,它们都是有用的抗体。嵌合抗体是一个分子,其中不同的部分来自不同的动物种,例如具有来自鼠的单克隆抗体的可变区,和来自人免疫球蛋白的恒定区的嵌合抗体(见例如美国专利4,816,567和美国专利4,816,397,在此通过引用方式整体引入本文)。人源化的抗体是指来源于非人物种的抗体分子,具有一个或多个来源于非人物种的互补决定区(CDRs)和来源于人免疫球蛋白分子的框架区域(见美国专利5,585,089,在此通过引用方式整体引入本文)。这些嵌合和人源化的单克隆抗体可以采用本领域熟知的DNA重组技术制备。
在本发明中,抗体可以是单特异性、双特异性、三特异性、或者更多的多重特异性。
在本发明中,本发明的抗体还包括其保守性变异体,指与本发明抗体的氨基酸序列相比,有至多10个,较佳地至多8个,更佳地至多5个,最佳地至多3个氨基酸被性质相似或相近的氨基酸所替换而形成多肽。这些保守性变异多肽最好根据表A进行氨基酸替换而产生。

一旦获得了有关的序列,就可以用重组法来大批量地获得有关序列。这通常是将其克隆入载体,再转入细胞,然后通过常规方法从增殖后的宿主细胞中分离得到有关序列。
此外,还可用人工合成的方法来合成有关序列,尤其是片段长度较短时。通常,通过先合成多个小片段,然后再进行连接可获得序列很长的片段。
目前,已经可以完全通过化学合成来得到编码所述的本发明的抗体(或其片段,或其衍生物)的DNA序列。然后可将该DNA序列引入本领域中已知的各种现有的DNA分子(或如载体)和细胞中。此外,还可通过化学合成将突变引入本发明蛋白序列中。

宿主细胞可以是原核细胞,如细菌细胞;或是低等真核细胞,如酵母细胞;或是高等真核细胞,如哺乳动物细胞。优选的动物细胞包括(但并不限于):CHO-S、HEK-293细胞。
通常,在适合本发明抗体表达的条件下,培养转化所得的宿主细胞。然后用常规的免疫球蛋白纯化步骤,如蛋白A-Sepharose、羟基磷灰石层析、凝胶电泳、透析、离子交换层析、疏水层析、分子筛层析或亲和层析等本领域技术人员熟知的常规分离纯化手段纯化得到本发明的抗体。
所得单克隆抗体可用常规手段来鉴定。比如,单克隆抗体的结合特异性可用免疫沉淀或体外结合试验(如放射性免疫测定(RIA)或酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA))来测定。单克隆抗体的结合亲和力例如可用Munson等,Anal.Biochem.,107:220(1980)的 Scatchard分析来测定。

典型地,所述抗体偶联药物包括所述抗体、以及效应分子,所述抗体与所述效应分子偶联,并优选为化学偶联。其中,所述效应分子优选为具有治疗活性的药物。此外,所述效应分子可以是毒素、毒蛋白、化疗药物、小分子药物或放射性核素中的一种或多种。
本发明抗体与所述效应分子之间可以是通过偶联剂进行偶联。所述偶联剂的例子可以是非选择性偶联剂、利用羧基的偶联剂、肽链、利用二硫键的偶联剂中的任意一种或几种。所述非选择性偶联剂是指使效应分子和抗体形成共价键连接的化合物,如戊二醛等。所述利用羧基的偶联剂可以是顺乌头酸酐类偶联剂(如顺乌头酸酐)、酰基腙类偶联剂(偶联位点为酰基腙)中的任意一种或几种。
抗体上某些残基(如Cys或Lys等)用于与多种功能基团相连,其中包括成像试剂(例如发色基团和荧光基团),诊断试剂(例如MRI对比剂和放射性同位素),稳定剂(例如乙二醇聚合物)和治疗剂。抗体可以被偶联到功能剂以形成抗体-功能剂的偶联物。功能剂(例如药物,检测试剂,稳定剂)被偶联(共价连接)至抗体上。功能剂可以直接地、或者是通过接头间接地连接于抗体。
抗体可以偶联药物从而形成抗体药物偶联物(ADCs)。典型地,ADC包含位于药物和抗体之间的接头。接头可以是可降解的或者是不可降解的接头。可降解的接头典型地在细胞内环境下容易降解,例如在目标位点处接头发生降解,从而使药物从抗体上释放出来。合适的可降解的接头包括,例如酶降解的接头,其中包括可以被细胞内蛋白酶(例如溶酶体蛋白酶或者内体蛋白酶)降解的含有肽基的接头,或者糖接头例如,可以被葡糖苷酸酶降解的含葡糖苷酸的接头。肽基接头可以包括,例如二肽,例如缬氨酸-瓜氨酸,苯丙氨酸-赖氨酸或者缬氨酸-丙氨酸。其它合适的可降解的接头包括,例如,pH敏感接头(例如pH小于5.5时水解的接头,例如腙接头)和在还原条件下会降解的接头(例如二硫键接头)。不可降解的接头典型地在抗体被蛋白酶水解的条件下释放药物。
连接到抗体之前,接头具有能够和某些氨基酸残基反应的活性反应基团,连接通过活性反应基团实现。巯基特异性的活性反应基团是优选的,并包括:例如马来酰亚胺类化合物,卤代酰胺(例如碘、溴或氯代的);卤代酯(例如碘、溴或氯代的);卤代甲基酮(例如碘、溴或氯代),苄基卤代物(例如碘、溴或氯代的);乙烯基砜,吡啶基 二硫化物;汞衍生物例如3,6-二-(汞甲基)二氧六环,而对离子是醋酸根、氯离子或者硝酸根;和聚亚甲基二甲基硫醚硫代磺酸盐。接头可以包括,例如,通过硫代丁二酰亚胺连接到抗体上的马来酰亚胺。
药物可以是任何细胞毒性,抑制细胞生长或者免疫抑制的药物。在实施方式中,接头连接抗体和药物,而药物具有可以和接头成键的功能性基团。例如,药物可以具有可以和连接物成键的氨基,羧基,巯基,羟基,或者酮基。在药物直接连接到接头的情况下,药物在连接到抗体之前,具有反应的活性基团。
在另一优选例中,所述药物选自下组:化疗药物、放疗药物、激素治疗药物或免疫治疗药物。具体地,有用的药物类别包括,例如,抗微管蛋白药物、DNA小沟结合试剂、DNA复制抑制剂、烷化试剂、抗生素、叶酸拮抗物、抗代谢药物、化疗增敏剂、拓扑异构酶抑制剂、长春花生物碱等。特别有用的细胞毒性药物类的例子包括,例如,DNA小沟结合试剂、DNA烷基化试剂、和微管蛋白抑制剂、典型的细胞毒性药物包括、例如奥瑞他汀(auristatins)、喜树碱(camptothecins)、多卡霉素/倍癌霉素(duocarmycins)、依托泊甙(etoposides)、美登木素(maytansines)和美登素类化合物(maytansinoids)(例如DM1和DM4)、紫杉烷(taxanes)、苯二氮卓类(benzodiazepines)或者含有苯二氮卓的药物(benzodiazepine containing drugs)(例如吡咯并[1,4]苯二氮卓类(PBDs),吲哚啉苯并二氮卓类(indolinobenzodiazepines)和噁唑烷并苯并二氮卓类(oxazolidinobenzodiazepines))和长春花生物碱(vinca alkaloids)。
本发明优选的毒素选自下组:紫杉烷类(taxane)、美登素类(maytansinoid)、奥利斯他汀类(auristatin)、卡奇霉素(calicheamicin)、蒽环类药物(anthracycline)、多西他赛(docetaxel)、组织蛋白酶(cathepsin)、蓖麻毒素(ricin)、白树毒素(gelonin)、绿脓杆菌外毒素(Pseudomonas exotoxin)、白喉毒素(diphtheria toxin)、核糖核酸酶(RNase)和放射性同位素(radioisotope)。
在本发明中,药物-接头可以用于在一个简单步骤中形成ADC。在其它实施方式中,双功能连接物化合物可以用于在两步或多步方法中形成ADC。例如,半胱氨酸残基在第一步骤中与接头的反应活性部分反应,并且在随后的步骤中,接头上的功能性基团与药物反应,从而形成ADC。
通常,选择接头上功能性基团,以利于特异性地与药物部分上的合适的反应活性基团进行反应。作为非限制性的例子,基于叠氮化合物的部分可以用于特异性地与药物部分上的反应性炔基基团反应。药物通过叠氮和炔基之间的1,3-偶极环加成,从而共价结合于接头。其它的有用的功能性基团包括,例如酮类和醛类(适合与酰肼类和烷氧基胺反应),膦(适合与叠氮反应);异氰酸酯和异硫氰酸酯(适合与胺类和醇类反应);和活化的酯类,例如N-羟基琥珀酰亚胺酯(适合与胺类和醇类反应)。这些和其它的连接策略,例如在《生物偶联技术》,第二版(Elsevier)中所描述的,是本领域技术人员所熟知的。本领域技术人员能够理解,对于药物部分和接头的选择性反应,当选择了一个互补对的反应活性功能基团时,该互补对的每一个成员既可以用于接头,也可以用于药物。
本发明还提供了制备ADC的方法,可进一步地包括:将抗体与药物-接头化合物, 在足以形成抗体偶联物(ADC)的条件下进行结合。
在某些实施方式中,本发明方法包括:在足以形成抗体-接头偶联物的条件下,将抗体与双功能接头化合物进行结合。在这些实施方式中,本发明方法还进一步地包括:在足以将药物部分通过接头共价连接到抗体的条件下,将抗体接头偶联物与药物部分进行结合。
