Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to an affinity substance for an antibody, a compound having a bioorthogonal functional group, or a salt thereof.
Background technology
[0002]
In recent years, research and development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been actively carried out. As the name implies, ADC is a drug in which a drug (eg, an anticancer drug) is conjugated to an antibody, and has direct cell-killing activity against cancer cells and the like. A typical ADC is T-DM1 (trade name: Kadcyla (registered trademark)) (Non-Patent Documents 1 to 3).
[0003]
The non-uniformity of ADCs such as T-DM1 has been a problem from the beginning of development. That is, since a small molecule drug is randomly reacted with Lys residues of about 70 to 80 in the antibody, the drug antibody ratio (Drug / Antibody Ratio: DAR) and the conjugation position are not constant. It is known that usually, in such a random conjugation method, the DA is in the range of 0 to 8, and a plurality of drugs having different numbers of drug bindings are produced. In recent years, it has been reported that the pharmacokinetics, drug release rate, and effect change when the number and position of binding of a drug in ADC are changed. For these reasons, next-generation ADCs are required to control the number and position of conjugating drugs. It is considered that if the number and position are constant, the problems of efficacy, variation of conjugation drug, and lot difference, so-called regulation, as expected can be solved (Non-Patent Document 4).
[0004]
Regioselective modifications of antibodies have been studied all over the world, most of which are genetically engineered or enzymatically modified. Regarding the genetic engineering modification method, although the regioselectivity and the number selectivity can be controlled, problems such as a decrease in the expression efficiency of the antibody itself (a decrease in the total yield when preparing the ADC) have been pointed out. In addition, it takes a long time to construct an antibody expression system (Non-Patent Documents 5 to 7).
[0005]
In addition, a method of chemically modifying a protein in a congested environment such as inside a cell using a small molecule probe has been reported in recent years. This method is used for receptor identification in imaging and repositioning of small molecule drugs. Further, in the field of chemical biology, an organic chemical protein modification method using a synthetic small molecule probe has attracted attention (Non-Patent Documents 8 to 11).
[0006]
Recently, the CCAP (Chemical Conjugation by Affinity Peptide) method has been developed. This method is carried out by reacting a peptide reagent in which an NHS activating ester and a drug are linked to an affinity peptide with an antibody (that is, a method for producing an ADC via a linker containing a peptide moiety). We have succeeded in position-selective modification of the antibody. This method was the first in the world to succeed in regioselectively modifying the antibody Fc region with a drug by a chemically synthesized method, and the results were also good in practice [reaction time 30 minutes, yield 70%]. (In the case of DAR 1), regioselectivity is 100%] has been confirmed. It has been demonstrated that the DA can be controlled by 2 by adding about 5 equivalents of the peptide reagent, and it is epoch-making in that the modification position can also be controlled (Patent Document 1).

Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0009]
An object of the present invention is to develop a technique that enables modification of an antibody, particularly, regioselective modification of an antibody.
Means to solve problems
[0010]
As a result of diligent studies, the present inventors have conducted a structural unit called A-LE (where A is an affinity substance for an antibody and L is a divalent group containing a predetermined leaving group. , E is a divalent group containing (i) an electrophilic group linked to the leaving group and (ii) capable of reacting with a nucleophilic group in the antibody). Alternatively, they have found that the salt is useful for position-specific modification of the antibody. For example, a predetermined compound having an affinity substance for an antibody and a bioorthogonal functional group represented by the formula (I) has been found to be useful for position-specific modification of an antibody (eg, FIG. 1. Various examples). In addition, it has been found that a compound having an affinity substance for an antibody and a functional substance or a salt thereof, which is represented by the formula (IV), is useful for position-specific modification of the antibody (eg, Examples). 13, 14). The present inventors further prepare an antibody (antibody drug conjugate (ADC)) having a functional substance (eg, drug) regioselectively without containing a peptide moiety as a linker by using such a compound. I found out what I could do. Avoidance of the use of linkers containing peptide moieties that have potential immunogenicity and are susceptible to hydrolysis in the blood is desirable in clinical applications of ADCs. That is, according to the method developed by the present inventors, the antibody Fc region can be regioselectively modified with a drug by a chemically synthesized method and without using a linker containing a peptide moiety.
