Biological Activity
| Targets | ADC drug-linker conjugate; Camptothecins/DNA Topoisomerase I |
| ln Vitro | Camptothecins exist in a pH-dependent equilibrium between the active, closed lactone and the inactive open-carboxylate forms. Several previous reports underscore the need for lactone stabilization in generating improved camptothecins, and indeed, such designs have been incorporated into antibody-drug conjugates containing this drug. Here, we demonstrate that lactone stabilization is not necessary for camptothecin-based ADC efficacy. We synthesized and evaluated camptothecin SN-38 drug linkers that differed with respect to lactone stability and released SN-38 or the hydrolyzed open-lactone form upon cleavage from the antibody carrier. An α-hydroxy lactone-linked SN-38 drug linker preserved the closed-lactone ring structure, while the phenol-linked version allowed conversion between the closed-lactone and open-carboxylate structures. The in vitro cytotoxicity, pharmacokinetic properties, and in vivo efficacy in the L540cy Hodgkin's lymphoma model of the corresponding ADCs were found to be indistinguishable, leading us to conclude that camptothecin-based antibody-drug conjugates possess pronounced activity regardless of the lactone state of the bound drug. This is most likely a result of ADC processing within acidic intracellular vesicles, delivering camptothecin in its active closed-lactone form[1]. |
| ln Vivo | There have been many attempts in pharmaceutical industries and academia to improve the pharmacokinetic characteristics of anti-tumor small-molecule drugs by conjugating them with large molecules, such as monoclonal antibodies, called ADCs. In this context, albumin, one of the most abundant proteins in the blood, has also been proposed as a large molecule to be conjugated with anti-cancer small-molecule drugs. The half-life of albumin is 3 weeks in humans, and its distribution to tumors is higher than in normal tissues. However, few studies have been conducted for the in vivo prepared albumin-drug conjugates, possibly due to the lack of robust bioanalytical methods, which are critical for evaluating the ADME/PK properties of in vivo prepared albumin-drug conjugates. In this study, we developed a bioanalytical method of the albumin-conjugated MAC glucuronide phenol linked SN-38 ((2S,3S,4S,5R,6S)-6-(4-(((((((S)-4,11-diethyl-4-hydroxy-3,14-dioxo-3,4,12,14-tetrahydro-1H-pyrano [3',4':6,7] indolizino [1,2-b] quinolin-9-yl)oxy)methyl)(2 (methylsulfonyl)ethyl)carbamoyl)oxy)methyl)-2-(2-(3-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-N-methylpropanamido)acetamido)phenoxy)-3,4,5-trihydroxytetra-hydro-2H-pyran-2-carboxylic acid) as a proof-of-concept. This method is based on immunoprecipitation using magnetic beads and the quantification of albumin-conjugated drug concentration using LC-qTOF/MS in mouse plasma. Finally, the developed method was applied to the in vivo intravenous (IV) mouse pharmacokinetic study of MAC glucuronide phenol-linked SN-38[2]. |
