RESUMO

Lung cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Tumour ecosystems feature diverse immune cell types. Myeloid cells, in particular, are prevalent and have a well-established role in promoting the disease. In our study, we profile approximately 900,000 cells from 25 treatment-naive patients with adenocarcinoma and squamous-cell carcinoma by single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. We note an inverse relationship between anti-inflammatory macrophages and NK cells/T cells, and with reduced NK cell cytotoxicity within the tumour. While we observe a similar cell type composition in both adenocarcinoma and squamous-cell carcinoma, we detect significant differences in the co-expression of various immune checkpoint inhibitors. Moreover, we reveal evidence of a transcriptional "reprogramming" of macrophages in tumours, shifting them towards cholesterol export and adopting a foetal-like transcriptional signature which promotes iron efflux. Our multi-omic resource offers a high-resolution molecular map of tumour-associated macrophages, enhancing our understanding of their role within the tumour microenvironment.

RESUMO

A summary of the key technological advancements in the preparation of antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates (AOCs) and the distinct advantages and disadvantages of AOCs as novel therapeutics are presented. The merits and demerits of the different approaches to conjugating oligonucleotides to antibodies, antibody fragments or other proteins, mainly from the perspective of AOC purification and analytical characterizations, are assessed. The lessons learned from in vitro and in vivo studies, especially the findings related to silencing, trafficking, and cytotoxicity of the conjugates, are also summarized.

RESUMO

Auristatins are important payloads used in antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and the most well-known compound family member, monomethyl auristatin (MMAE), is used in two Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved ADCs, Adcetris® and Polivy®. Multiple other auristatin-based ADCs are currently being evaluated in human clinical trials and further studies on this class of molecule are underway by several academic and industrial research groups. Our group's main focus is to investigate the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of novel auristatins with the goal of applying these to next generation ADCs. Modifications of the auristatin backbone scaffold have been widely reported in the chemical literature focusing on the terminal subunits: P1 (N-terminus) and P5 (C-terminus). Our approach was to modulate the activity and hydrophilic character through modifications of the central subunits P2-P3-P4 and thorough SAR study on the P5 subunit. Novel hydrophilic auristatins were observed to have greater potency in vitro and displayed enhanced in vivo antitumor activity when conjugated via protease-cleavable linkers and delivered intracellularly. Analysis of ADC aggregation also indicated that novel hydrophilic payloads enabled the synthesis of high-drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) ADCs that were resistant to aggregation. Modification of the central peptide subunits also resulted in auristatins with potent cytotoxic activity in vitro and these azide-modified auristatins contain a handle for linker attachment from the central portion of the auristatin backbone.

RESUMO

AGS62P1 is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a human IgG1κ monoclonal antibody against FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3) with a p-acetyl phenylalanine (pAF) residue inserted at position 124 of each heavy chain linked to the proprietary microtubule disrupting agent AGL-0182-30 via an alkoxyamine linker that forms an oxime upon conjugation to the antibody. AGS62P1 is currently in Phase I human clinical trials for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The identified primary metabolite of an oxime-linked ADC is presented for the first time. AGS62P1 metabolism was assessed in xenograft tumor-bearing mice and rats treated with the ADC using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry-based methods described herein. In this study, we identified the metabolite of AGS62P1 as pAF-AGL-0185-30, which contains a fragment resulting from the catabolism of the antibody component of the ADC and hydrolysis of the terminal amide portion of the linker-payload. We demonstrated that the metabolite of AGS62P1 is tolerated in rats above 1.5 mg/kg and above 0.334 mg/kg in cynomolgus monkeys when given as a single dose. Furthermore, we established in vitro that pAF-AGL-0185-30 does not significantly inhibit hERG or cytochrome P450 family enzymes (CYPs).

RESUMO

Synthetic analogues of the natural occurring dolastatin 10 are of great interest in cancer due to their potent in vitro activity and their uses as payloads in antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). Modification of the dolastatin 10 core scaffold has mainly focused on modifications of the P1, N-terminus, and P5, C-terminus, with minimal attention to the P2 subunit. In this paper we discuss the introduction of heteroatoms to the P2 side chain, which results in potent activity in vitro. The most active compounds contained azides in the P2 unit and required a phenylalanine-derived P5 subunit.

RESUMO

Antibody drug conjugates offer a targeted cancer treatment for the delivery of potent cytotoxic drugs. Derivatives of the natural product dolastatin 10 containing pyridines and other basic amines were examined with the objective of determining if a more hydrophilic auristatin derivative would be potent enough for use as part of an ADC. This may be advantageous if a less hydrophobic drug makes a better ADC. A pyridine derivative, monomethyl auristatin PYE, showed the greatest potency when tested in vivo. While only a modest tumor growth inhibition was observed when the HCC1954 human breast cancer xenografts were treated with"non-cleavable" linker ADCs, tumor regression was seen when treated with an enzymatically degradable "cleavable" linker ADC when conjugated to trastuzumab. Based on these studies, monomethyl auristatin PYE shows promise for use as an ADC payload.

RESUMO

IVA337 is a pan-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist with moderate and well-balanced activity on the three PPAR isoforms (α, γ, δ). PPARs are regulators of lipid metabolism, inflammation, insulin resistance, and fibrogenesis. Different single or dual PPAR agonists have been investigated for their therapeutic potential in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a chronic liver condition in which steatosis coexists with necroinflammation, potentially leading to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Clinical results have demonstrated variable improvements of histologically assessed hepatic lesions depending on the profile of the tested drug, suggesting that concomitant activation of the three PPAR isoforms would translate into a more substantial therapeutic outcome in patients with NASH. We investigated the effects of IVA337 on several preclinical models reproducing the main metabolic and hepatic features associated with NASH. These models comprised a diet-induced obesity model (high-fat/high-sucrose diet); a methionine- and choline-deficient diet; the foz/foz model; the CCl4-induced liver fibrosis model (prophylactic and therapeutic) and human primary hepatic stellate cells. IVA337 normalized insulin sensitivity while controlling body weight gain, adiposity index, and serum triglyceride increases; it decreased liver steatosis, inflammation, and ballooning. IVA337 demonstrated preventive and curative effects on fibrosis in the CCl4 model and inhibited proliferation and activation of human hepatic stellate cells, the key cells driving liver fibrogenesis in NASH. Moreover, IVA337 inhibited the expression of (pro)fibrotic and inflammasome genes while increasing the expression of ß-oxidation-related and fatty acid desaturation-related genes in both the methionine- and choline-deficient diet and the foz/foz model. For all models, IVA337 displayed an antifibrotic efficacy superior to selective PPARα, PPARδ, or PPARγ agonists. Conclusion: The therapeutic potential of IVA337 for the treatment of patients with NASH is supported by our data. (Hepatology Communications 2017;1:524-537).

RESUMO

The design of a synthetic route to a class of enantiomerically pure phosphaalkene-oxazolines (PhAk-Ox) is presented. The condensation of a lithium silylphosphide and a ketone (the phospha-Peterson reaction) was used as the P=C bond-forming step. Attempted condensation of PhC(=O)Ox (Ox = CNOCH(iPr)CH(2)) and MesP(SiMe(3))Li gave the unusual heterocycle (MesP)(2)C(Ph)=CN-(S)-CH(iPr)CH(2)O (3). However, PhAk-Ox (S,E)-MesP=C(Ph)CMe(2)Ox (1 a) was successfully prepared by treating MesP(SiMe(3))Li with PhC(=O)CMe(2)Ox (52 %). To demonstrate the modularity and tunability of the phospha-Peterson synthesis several other phosphaalkene-oxazolines were prepared in an analogous manner to 1 a: TripP=C(Ph)CMe(2)Ox (1 b; Trip = 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl), 2-iPrC(6)H(4)P=C(Ph)CMe(2)Ox (1 c), 2-tBuC(6)H(4)P=C(Ph)CMe(2)Ox (1 d), MesP=C(4-MeOC(6)H(4))CMe(2)Ox (1 e), MesP=C(Ph)C(CH(2))(4)Ox (1 f), and MesP=C(3,5-(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(3))C(CH(2))(4)Ox (1 g). To evaluate the PhAk-Ox compounds as prospective precursors to chiral phosphine polymers, monomer 1 a and styrene were subjected to radical-initiated copolymerization conditions to afford [{MesPC(Ph)(CMe(2)Ox)}(x){CH(2)CHPh}(y)](n) (9 a: x = 0.13n, y = 0.87n; GPC: M(w) = 7400 g mol(-1) , PDI = 1.15).

RESUMO

A cooperative catalysis approach for the enantioselective formal [3+2] addition of α,ß-unsaturated aldehydes to isatins has been developed. Homoenolate annulations of ß-aryl enals catalyzed by an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) require the addition of lithium chloride for high levels of enantioselectivity. This NHC-catalyzed annulation has been used for the total synthesis of maremycin B.

RESUMO

Enantioselective catalysis in moderate to excellent yields and ee's has been accomplished using a phosphaalkene-based ligand system. Specifically, the palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate using a chiral P(sp(2)),N(sp(2)) ligand proceeds with a variety of malonate nucleophiles in 73-95% yield (79-92% ee).
