Title: Pharmaceutical composition for treating and / or preventing cancer
Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to a conjugate of an antibody against CAPRIN-1 protein and an immunostimulatory agent, and a pharmaceutical use as a therapeutic and / or prophylactic agent for cancer using the same.
Background art
[0002]
Because of their cancer specificity, various antibody drugs that target specific antigen proteins on cancer cells are applied to cancer treatment as cancer treatment drugs with few side effects. For example, the cell membrane surface of many solid cancers expresses Cytosmic-activation and proliferation-associated protein 1 (CAPRIN-1), and an antibody against this CAPRIN-1 protein is used as a pharmaceutical for treating and / or preventing cancer. It is known to be promising as (Patent Document 1).
[0003]
In recent years, studies are underway to enhance the efficacy of these antibody drugs, and in particular, development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) in which a drug and an antibody have been directly conjugated to cells with strong killing ability Advanced (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). As an example of ADC, Trastuzumab (Trastuzumab emtansine) in which a drug having an ability to kill cells is linked to trastuzumab, which is an existing antibody drug, (Trastuzumab emtansine), or an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody as monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) (Brentuximab vedotin) is used for the treatment of some cancers, and the survival rate is shown to be extended compared to conventional treatments, and its usefulness for existing cancer treatments is It is shown (nonpatent literature 3 and 4).
[0004]
In another example, studies have also been conducted to conjugate an immunostimulatory agent to an antibody drug against cancer to enhance its efficacy. For example, a conjugate obtained by binding Resiquimod, one of the immunostimulating agents, to the existing antibody drugs trastuzumab and cetuximab, or a conjugate of rituximab, which is an antibody drug targeting CD20 as a target antigen, with various immunostimulating agents Thus, the efficacy enhancing effect of antibodies has been recognized in animal models (Patent Documents 2 and 3).
[0005]
As described above, by conjugating various factors with various antibodies, attempts have been made to enhance the efficacy of antibody drugs against cancer, but a potent antitumor effect is obtained that causes a complete regression of various cancers. It has not been done. In addition, the effect of preventing cancer recurrence and metastasis has not been shown.

Humanized antibodies are modified antibodies, also referred to as reshaped human antibodies. Humanized antibodies are constructed by implanting the complementarity determining regions of antibodies derived from the immunized animal into the complementarity determining regions of human antibodies. The gene recombination method as the general method is also a well-known technique. Specifically, for example, several DNA sequences designed to link the complementarity determining region of mouse antibody and rabbit antibody with the framework region of human antibody were prepared so as to have an overlapping portion at the end. Are synthesized by PCR from the oligonucleotides of The obtained DNA is ligated with the DNA encoding the constant region of a human antibody, incorporated into an expression vector, and introduced into a host for production (European Patent Application Publication No. EP 239 400, International Publication Number See WO 96/02576). The framework regions of the human antibody linked via the complementarity determining regions are selected such that the complementarity determining regions form a good antigen binding site. If necessary, the amino acid of the framework region in the variable region of the antibody may be substituted so that the complementarity determining region of the reshaped human antibody forms a suitable antigen binding site (Sato K. et al., Cancer Research 1993, 53: 851-856). Also, framework regions derived from various human antibodies may be substituted (see WO 99/51743).
[0028]
An antibody is a heteromultimeric glycoprotein, usually comprising at least two heavy chains and two light chains. An antibody is composed of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains. The heavy chain has at one end a heavy chain variable region followed by a number of constant regions. The light chain has at one end a light chain variable region followed by a number of constant regions. The variable regions indicate specific variable regions called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) to impart binding specificity to the antibody. The portion relatively stored in the variable region is called a framework region (FR). The variable regions of the complete heavy and light chains comprise four FRs linked by three CDRs (CDR1-CDR3), respectively.
[0029]
The sequences of constant regions and variable regions of human-derived heavy and light chains can be obtained, for example, from NCBI (US: GenBank, UniGene, etc.).

A chimeric antibody can be produced using a known method, for example, a DNA encoding the antibody V region and a DNA encoding the C region of a human antibody are linked, and this is incorporated into an expression vector and introduced into a host It is obtained by producing.
[0031]
The non-human animal antibody can be obtained by immunizing an animal with a sensitizing antigen according to a known method. As a general method, the sensitizing antigen is obtained by intraperitoneal, intradermal or subcutaneous injection of an animal such as a mouse. . When injecting a sensitizing antigen, it is mixed with an appropriate amount of various adjuvants such as CFA (Freund's complete adjuvant) and administered to animals multiple times. After immunizing the animal and confirming that the serum contains anti-CAPRIN-1 antibody, serum is obtained, and as described above, ammonium sulfate precipitation, protein A, protein G, DEAE ion exchange column, CAPRIN-1 protein And an affinity column to which a partial peptide is bound. In addition, when monoclonal antibodies are obtained from non-human animals, they can be obtained by collecting immune cells from immunized animals and subjecting them to cell fusion with myeloma cells. The cell fusion between the immune cells and the myeloma cells can be performed according to known methods (see Kohler, G. and Milstein, C. Methods Enzymol. (1981) 73, 3-46).

The linker between the anti-CAPRIN-1 antibody and the immunostimulatory factor may be composed of a single species or multiple species.
[0123]
As a method of producing a conjugate of the anti-CAPRIN-1 antibody of the present invention and an immunostimulatory factor, a method of binding an immunostimulatory factor by using the ε-amino group of the lysine side chain of the antibody, disulfide of the antibody There is a method of binding a cysteine residue forming a bond using a thiol formed by reduction treatment.
[0124]
When the ε-amino group of a lysine residue of an antibody is used, for example, a method of reacting an active ester (eg, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester) to form an amide bond is used. In this case, the binding proceeds nonspecifically because the antibody has many lysine residues.
[0125]
When using the thiol which forms the disulfide bond which exists in the side chain of the cysteine of an antibody, the disulfide bond which exists on an antibody is made to generate thiol using reducing agents, such as mercaptoethanol, and maleimide or alpha-haloamide The method of making it react is used. In addition, in order to stabilize the bond via thiol, for example, there is a method using sulfone phenyl oxadiazole, 4-cyanoethynyl oxy derivative or the like. These bonds are stable for a longer period of time than the conjugation of cysteine to maleimide by conjugation. In addition, since the imide ring in which the thiol group is added to maleimide is opened by hydrolysis to form an amido bond and the stability is improved, a linker having an amino group in the vicinity of the imide group can also be used. In addition, the thiol of cysteine in the antibody forms a disulfide bond, and there is also a method of binding an immunostimulatory factor or the like between them via two thiols. As an example, it is possible to form a crosslinkable bond using a linker with two disulfide bonding sites or dibromomaleimide which can be generated from an amide group having two sulfones in the β position.
[0126]
Conjugates of the present invention, for example, to a particular portion of the antibody, ThioMab is a method capable of introducing fixed number of thiol groups TM is a method using a technique (see Nature Biotechnology 26,925-932 (2008)) .
[0127]
The conjugate of the present invention is conjugated with an immunostimulatory agent, for example, by obtaining an antibody having a thiol reactive group by reducing the antibody using a reducing agent dithioureitol (DTT) in a phosphate buffer. Can be formed. In addition to the method using a reducing agent, a thiol group is added to the primary amine at the lysine residue of the antibody by introducing a trout reagent (2-Iminothiolane or N-Succinimidyl S-Acetylthioacetate (SATA)). You can get it.
[0128]
The amount of thiol added to the antibody can be determined, for example, by mixing 5,5'-Dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and a sample solution containing an SH group with phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) and distilled water, It can be quantified by measuring the absorbance at 412 nm after adding a DTNB solution dissolved in an acid buffer solution, a Good buffer solution or a Tris buffer and incubating for a certain period of time (GL Ellman, Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 82, 70 (1959)).
[0129]
The thiol group added by cleaving the disulfide bond of the antibody by reduction treatment is preferably subjected to treatment (capping) to prevent formation of the disulfide bond again. For capping, for example, N-ethyl maleimide (NEM) or iodoacetamide (2-iodoacetamide (IAA)) can be used.
[0130]
A known method can be used to bind an immunostimulatory agent to form a conjugate using a thiol group added to an antibody. Specifically, for example, as a linker reagent that specifically binds to a thiol group of a reduction-treated antibody, one having a maleimide group or a linker reagent having a bromoacetamide group can be used. For example, N-succinimidyl-4- (N-maleimidomethyl) -cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) is used as a linker having a maleimide group. In this case, a conjugate can be obtained by forming an amide bond with the N-succinimide group of SMCC due to the presence of an amino group in the immune activation factor.
[0131]
In another embodiment, SMCC is used to form an amide bond to the amino group previously present in the activating factor, and then the thiol group added to the antibody side and the maleimide group of SMCC to which the immunostimulatory factor is bound are used. The reaction can be performed to obtain a conjugate.
[0132]
In another embodiment, it is also possible to form a conjugate between the antibody and the immunostimulatory agent by using two linkers. For example, a thiol group is prepared by preparing a product in which a primary amino group present in a lysine residue on the antibody side and an N-succinimide group of SATA (N-succinimidyl-S-acetylthioacetate) are bound to form an amide bond. Addition is carried out, and those having an amino group on the side of the immunostimulatory factor or those having an amino group added thereto are reacted with SMCC to form an N-succinimide group and an amide bond in SMCC, A conjugate can be obtained by the reaction of a maleimide group in SMCC to which an immunostimulatory factor is bound and a thiol group on SATA to which an antibody is bound.
[0133]
In another embodiment, a method using, for example, maleimidocaproyl-valine-citrulline-p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (MC-Val-Cit-PAB) as a linker is used for producing a conjugate of an antibody and an immunostimulatory factor Can be mentioned. MC-val-Cit-PAB is a linker cleavable by an intracellular protease (eg cathepsin B). A thiol group is added to the antibody dissolved in phosphate buffer using DTT or the like. On the other hand, an immune activation factor having an amino group is reacted with benzyloxycarbonyl (PAB) in MC-Val-Cit-PAB to produce an immune activation factor bound with MC-val-Cit-PAB. The antibody can be reacted with a thiol-added antibody to obtain a conjugate.
[0134]
In yet another embodiment, SATA is attached to a primary amino group at a lysine residue of an antibody to add a thiol group, while succinimidyl 3- (2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) is added to an amino group. In
order to obtain a composition containing an antibody in which an N-succinimide group in SPDP and an amide bond in the SPDP are bound and reacted with an immune activating factor having the antibody, the linker is subjected to, for example, gel filtration chromatography. It can be obtained by fractionating a more polymerized peak as compared to the antibody before binding.
[0135]
The number of immunostimulatory agents bound per antibody of the conjugate of anti-CAPRIN-1 antibody and immunostimulatory agent of the present invention is based on known methods such as mass spectrometry, ELISA, electrophoresis, and HPLC It can be characterized using

The antitumor effect of the present invention can also be evaluated by examining the survival rate. It can also be evaluated by examining the ability to produce cytokines or chemokines. The antitumor effect of the conjugate of the present invention can be further known by examining the prevention of cancer, the prevention of metastasis or the prevention of recurrence.
[0137]
