Abstract

Plasma stability assessment under physiological temperature is an essential step for developing and optimizing antibody drug conjugate (ADC) molecules, especially those with cleavable linkers. The assessment of plasma stability often requires monitoring multiple analytes using a combination of bioanalytical assays for free payloads, conjugated payloads (or conjugated antibodies), total antibodies, and payloads that have migrated from antibodies to plasma constituent proteins. Bioanalytical assays are needed in early drug discovery to quickly screen diverse ADC candidates of different antibody constructs, linker variants, and antibody anchor sites. To improve the sensitivity and selectivity of LC/MS/MS-based assays for the assessment, immunocapture has been widely used for extracting ADCs and unconjugated antibodies from plasma samples. In this study, a novel two-step immunocapture LC/MS/MS assay was described to allow the quantification of conjugated payloads, total antibodies, and migrated payloads forming adducts with albumin in the plasma samples for stability assessment. A target antigen immobilized on magnetic beads was used to exhaustively extract the ADC and antibody-associated species. The remaining supernatant was then extracted further with anti-albumin beads for recovering the albumin-associated adducts for quantification. The method was optimized for higher efficiency and cost-effectiveness using microwave enhanced papain-based enzymatic cleavage for measuring conjugated payloads of ADCs and lysyl endopeptidase cleavage in the total antibody assay. A maleimide linker-based ADC with a proprietary payload, TAK-001, was used to demonstrate the streamlined workflow of the ADC stability assessment. The method could provide valuable evaluation of the stability of the ADC as well as the quantitative assessment of the albumin adducts formed from the linker-payload migration in mouse and human plasma. Furthermore, the method should be readily adaptable for other ADCs using thiol-maleimide conjugation chemistry.

摘要

在生理温度下评估血浆稳定性是开发和优化抗体药物偶联物(ADC)分子的重要步骤,特别是那些具有可切割连接子的 ADC 分子。评估血浆稳定性通常需要使用生物分析测定法组合来监测多个分析物,以检测游离有效载荷、缀合有效载荷(或缀合抗体)、总抗体以及从抗体迁移到血浆成分蛋白的有效载荷。在药物早期发现中需要生物分析测定法来快速筛选不同抗体结构、连接子变体和抗体锚定点的不同 ADC 候选物。为了提高基于 LC/MS/MS 的测定法评估的灵敏度和选择性,免疫捕获已被广泛用于从血浆样品中提取 ADC 和未缀合的抗体。在这项研究中,描述了一种新的两步免疫捕获 LC/MS/MS 测定法,该方法允许定量评估血浆样品中形成与白蛋白加合物的缀合有效载荷、总抗体和迁移有效载荷,以评估稳定性。将固定在磁性珠上的靶抗原用于彻底提取 ADC 和与抗体相关的物质。然后,用抗白蛋白珠进一步提取剩余的上清液,以回收用于定量的与白蛋白相关的加合物。该方法使用微波增强木瓜蛋白酶酶切法来测量 ADC 的缀合有效载荷和总抗体测定中的赖氨酸内肽酶酶切法,以提高效率和成本效益为目的进行了优化。使用具有专有有效载荷 TAK-001 的马来酰亚胺连接子基 ADC 来证明 ADC 稳定性评估的简化工作流程。该方法可以提供 ADC 稳定性的有价值评估以及在小鼠和人血浆中由连接子-有效载荷迁移形成的白蛋白加合物的定量评估。此外,该方法应该可以轻松适用于使用硫醇-马来酰亚胺缀合化学的其他 ADC。
