| Popis: | Anti-Ly6E-seco-cyclopropabenzindol-4-one dimer antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) has been reported to form an adduct with α1-microglobulin (A1M) in animal plasma, but with unknown impact on ADC PK and tissue distribution. In this study, we compared the PK and tissue distribution of anti-Ly6E ADC with unconjugated anti-Ly6E mAb in rodents and monkeys. For PK studies, animals received an intravenous administration of anti-Ly6E ADC or unconjugated anti-Ly6E mAb. Plasma samples were analyzed for total antibody (Tab) levels and A1M adduct formation. PK parameters were generated from dose-normalized plasma concentrations. Tissue distribution was determined in tumor-bearing mice after a single intravenous dosing of radiolabeled ADC or mAb. Tissue radioactivity levels were analyzed using a gamma counter. The impact of A1M adduct formation on target cell binding was assessed in an in vitro cell binding assay. The results show that ADC Tab clearance was slower than that of mAb in mice and rats but faster than mAb in monkeys. Correspondingly, the formation of A1M adduct appeared to be faster and higher in mice, followed by rats, and slowest in monkeys. Although ADC tended to show an overall lower distribution to normal tissues, it had a strikingly reduced distribution to tumors compared with mAb, likely due to A1M adduct formation interfering with target binding, as demonstrated by the in vitro cell binding assay. Together, these data 1) demonstrate that anti-Ly6E ADC that forms A1M adduct had slower systemic clearance with strikingly reduced tumor distribution and 2) highlight the importance of selecting an appropriate linker-drug for successful ADC development. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Anti-lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus E, ADC with seco-cyclopropabenzindol-4-one-dimer payload formed adduct with A1M, which led to a decrease in systemic clearance but also attenuated tumor distribution. These findings demonstrate the importance of selecting an appropriate linker-drug for ADC development and also highlight the value of a mechanistic understanding of ADC biotransformation, which could provide insight into ADC molecule design, optimization, and selection. |
