The present invention provides a cobalamin-drug conjugate suitable for the treatment of tumor related diseases. Cobalamin is indirectly covalently bound to an anti-tumor drug via a cleavable linker and one or more optional spacers. Cobalamin is covalently bound to a first spacer or the cleavable linker via the 5′-OH of the cobalamin ribose ring. The drug is bound to a second spacer of the cleavable linker via an existing or added functional group on the drug. After administration, the conjugate forms a complex with transcobalamin (any of its isoforms). The complex then binds to a receptor on a cell membrane and is taken up into the cell. Once in the cell, an intracellular enzyme cleaves the conjugate thereby releasing the drug. Depending upon the structure of the conjugate, a particular class or type of intracellular enzyme affects the cleavage. Due to the high demand for cobalamin in growing cells, tumor cells typically take up a higher percentage of the conjugate than do normal non-growing cells. The conjugate of the invention advantageously provides a reduced systemic toxicity and enhanced efficacy as compared to a corresponding free drug.

The invention provides a therapeutic drug and targeting conjugate, pharmaceutical compositions containing these conjugates in pharmaceutical composition, and uses of these conjugates in anti-neoplastic and other therapeutic regimens. Also provided are novel intermediates thereof. The conjugates provide a therapeutic drug fragment or prodrug fragment bound to a targeting moiety via a linker which comprises a substrate cleavable by a protease such as Cathepsin B. The targeting moiety is a ligand which targets a cell surface molecule, such as a cell surface receptor on an anti-neoplastic cell. The ligand may function solely as a targeting moiety or may itself have a therapeutic effect. Following administration of the therapeutic drug and targeting conjugate of formula I and exposure of the conjugate to the protease specific for the substrate, the linker is cleaved and the targeting moiety is separated from the conjugate, which causes the drug fragment or prodrug fragment to convert to the drug or prodrug. The recited conjugates are useful in anti-neoplastic therapies. Also provided are methods of making the therapeutic drug and targeting conjugates and intermediates thereof, and kits comprising the therapeutic drug and targeting conjugates.
Peptide-drug conjugates comprising p-aminobenzyl carbamoyl or p-aminobenzolyl carbonate self-immolating linkers are disclosed. The peptide-drug conjugates comprise a peptide moiety that can be cleaved by cellular proteases, bound to the self-immolating linker, which linker is bound to a cytotoxic drug moiety. Upon cleavage of the peptide moiety, the linker self- immolates, releasing the cytotoxic drug in active form. Dimeric structures of the peptide drug conjugates comprising two molecules of cytotoxic drug per conjugate are also disclosed.
