Abstract
Template-directed methods are emerging as some of the most effective means to conjugate payloads at selective sites of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). We have previously reported a method based on an engineered Fc-III reactive peptide to conjugate a radionuclide chelator to K317 of antibodies with the concomitant release of the Fc-III peptide ligand. Here, our method was redesigned to target two lysines proximal to the Fc-III binding site, K248 and K439. Using energy minimization predictions and a semi-combinatorial synthesis approach, we sampled multiple Fc-III amino acid substituents of A3, H5, L6 and E8, which were then converted into Fc-III reactive conjugates. Middle-down MS/MS subunit analysis of the resulting trastuzumab conjugates revealed that K248 and K439 can be selectively targeted using the Fc-III reactive variants L6Dap, L6Orn, L6Y and A3K or A3hK, respectively. Across all variants tested, L6Orn-carbonate appeared to be the best candidate, yielding a degree and yield of conjugation of almost 2 and 100% for a broad array of payloads including radionuclide chelators, fluorescent dyes, click-chemistry reagents, pre-targeted imaging reagents, and some cytotoxic small molecules. Furthermore, L6Orn carbonate appeared to yield similar conjugation results across multiple IgG subtypes. In vivo proof of concept was achieved by conjugation of NODAGA to the PD1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor antibody atezolizumab, followed by PET imaging of PD-L1 expression in mice bearing PD-L1 expressing tumor xenograft using radiolabeled [ <sup>64</sup> Cu]Cu-atezolizumab.
