الوصف: | Pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) and their dimers (bis-PBDs) have emerged as some of the most potent chemotherapeutic compounds, and are currently under development as novel payloads in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). However, when used as stand-alone therapeutics or as warheads for small molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs), dose-limiting toxicities are often observed. As an elegant solution to this inherent problem, we designed diazepine-ring-opened conjugated prodrugs lacking the imine moiety. Once the prodrug (pro-PBD) conjugate enters a targeted cell, cleavage of the linker system triggers the generation of a reactive intermediate possessing an aldehyde and aromatic amine. An intramolecular ring-closing reaction subsequently takes place as the aromatic amine adds to the aldehyde with the loss of water to give the imine and, as a result, the diazepine ring. In our pro-PBDs, we mask the aldehyde as a hydrolytically sensitive oxazolidine moiety which in turn is a part of a reductively labile self-immolative linker system. To prove the range of applications for this new class of latent DNA-alkylators, we designed and synthesized several novel latent warheads: pro-PBD dimers and hybrids of pro-PBD with other sequence-selective DNA minor groove binders. Preliminary preclinical pharmacology studies showed excellent biological activity and specificity. |
