Description

P133699PC00 Title: STRAINED BICYCLONONENES Technical field Disclosed herein are compounds comprising an (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety, and methods for using and preparing same. Background
Figure imgf000002_0001
between dienophiles and dienes are widely used, as these are bioorthogonal and typically very fast. Additionally, a payload can be released from the dienophile, diene, or both upon the reaction between these two compounds. Meanwhile, several other functional moieties can be linked to the dienophile and/or diene as well. These properties render the dienophile-diene reactions interesting for various applications, including those where a drug needs to be released at a specific target site in a subject. In this light, various dienophiles have been described in literature, including ones where a ring has been fused to a trans-cyclooctene ring so as to further increase the ring strain and thus the reactivity of the dienophile. However, the disadvantages of these molecules are typically that they are also more prone to side-reactions due to the higher reactivity, and/or can only be synthesized using long and labour-intensive routes. Thus, there is still a need for dienophiles that can be readily synthesized, quickly react with dienes, achieve higher release yields and/or faster release upon reacting with dienes, and/or are more stable in vitro and/or in vivo. It is desired that compounds be developed that address one or more of the abovementioned problems and/or desires.

Detailed Description The claimed subject-matter, in a broad sense, is based on the judicious insight that the compounds of the disclosure can be readily synthesized in only a few steps, are stable in various conditions, including in physiological environments, react fast in bioorthogonal reactions, and, if required, provide high release yields of a payload connected to an allylic carbon. Consequently, the claimed subject-matter addresses one or more of the problems and desires as identified herein. It will be understood that herein, a compound according to claim 1 may be referred to as a dienophile or as “a compound according to the disclosure” or similar phrasing. The (E)- bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety thereof may be referred to as the Trigger or TR. It will be understood that typically the (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety can be considered a trans- cyclooctene (TCO) moiety fused to a cyclopropyl moiety. Thus, compounds of the disclosure may also be referred to herein as TCO. Unless stated otherwise, a reference to compounds according to the disclosure is also meant to include all possible salts, solvates, hydrates, and enantiomers thereof. Moreover, an Activator as referred to herein is a compound that can react with the double bond of the (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety of the compound of the disclosure. Typically, an Activator is a diene. Compounds The compounds of the disclosure comprise an (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety. For the sake of clarity, below two examples of such a moiety are drawn wherein the carbon atoms are numbered. These numbers correspond to the positions as mentioned in claim 1. The optional substituents on said moieties are not shown: 9 9
Figure imgf000006_0001
Preferably, in the compounds of the disclosure the vinylic carbons, viz. the carbons at positions 3 and 4, are not substituted. In other words, it is preferred that at the vinylic positions groups -CH= are present. Preferably, in the compounds of the disclosure the carbon at position 9 is substituted, more preferably with a group according to RG1 or RG5, more preferably according to RG1. Most preferably, the carbon at position 9 is substituted with a group R49 as defined herein. In the compounds of the disclosure at least one allylic carbon of the (E)- bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety is in the R-configuration and is substituted with R48. Preferably, only one allylic carbon of the (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety is in the R- configuration and is substituted with R48 R48 is selected from the group consisting of -OH, -O-acetyl, -O-C1-4 alkyl, halogen, active carbonate, and a releasable group. In particular when the compound of the disclosure is an intermediate product which may be further adapted, for example to couple said compound to a payload, R48 is preferably selected from the group consisting of -OH, -O-acetyl, -O-C1-4 alkyl, halogen, and an active carbonate. Active carbonates are well-known to the skilled person. Preferably, the active carbonate is selected from the group consisting of -OC(O)O-N-succinimidyl, -OC(O)O- pentafluorophenyl, -OC(O)O-tetrafluorophenyl, -OC(O)O-4-nitrophenyl, and -OC(O)Cl. More preferably, the active carbonate is -OC(O)O-N-succinimidyl, or -OC(O)O- pentafluorophenyl; most preferably the active carbonate is -OC(O)O-N-succinimidyl. In particular when the compound of the disclosure is intended to release a payload upon reaction with a diene, it is preferred that R48 is a releasable group. Typically, the releasable group comprises a payload, which is connected to the (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety in such a way that release occurs upon reaction of the compound of the disclosure with a diene. While both axial and equatorial isomers are useful and solve the problems indicated above, it is preferred that R48 is in the axial position. Typically, faster reaction rates are observed in bioorthogonal reactions when the compounds of the disclosure have a group R48 in the axial position. Thus, in the Formulae shown below, the ones containing “AX” are preferred over those containing “EQ”, .e.g. Formula (II-AX15) is preferred over Formula (II- EQ15). Likewise, while group R48 can be present on either allylic position (viz. positions 2 and 5 as indicated above), it is preferred that said group be present at the 5 position. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the inventors believe that these molecules are more stable, e.g. in physiological conditions, than the compounds having R48 at the 2 position. Thus, in the Formulae shown below, the ones containing “15” are preferred over those containing “13”, .e.g. Formula (II-AX15) is preferred over Formula (II-AX13). Such releasable groups are well-known and have a clear meaning in the art. In preferred embodiments, the releasable group is –(Y1-C(=Y2))i-(SP)j-CA. Therein, each of Y1 and Y2 are independently selected from O, and S; preferably Y1 and Y2 are O. CA is Construct A, which is the payload. Preferably, CA is an organic molecule or an inorganic molecule. Further preferred embodiments of CA are defined below. For the releasable group, j is 0 or 1; preferably j is 0; and i is 0 or 1; preferably i is 1. If i is 0, -(SP)j- CA is connected to the remainder of the compound via O or S, that is part of -(SP)j-CA. On the other hand, if i is 1, -(SP)j-CA is connected to -C(=Y2)- via O, S, a secondary N, or a tertiary N, that is part of -(SP)j-CA. Preferably, if i is 1, -(SP)j-CA is connected to -C(=Y2)- via a secondary N, or a tertiary N, that is part of -(SP)j-CA. SP is a spacer, of which preferred embodiments are defined below. Preferably, when SP is part of a releasable group, SP is a self-immolative linker, which is herein also referred to as LC. Such self-immolative linkers are well-known in the art, and preferred embodiments of self-immolative linkers are defined below. If the spacer in the releasable group is a self- immolative linker, upon reaction of a compound of the disclosure with a diene, initially a construct -LC-CA is released. Thereafter, the self-immolative linker self-immolates and releases the payload CA. Preferably, the compound of the disclosure has a structure according to any one of Formulae (Ia) and (Ib): ; wherein each of X1, X2, X3, and X4 is independently
Figure imgf000008_0001
least one of X1 and X4 is -CHR48; preferably one of X1 and X4 is -CHR48; R49 is selected from the group consisting of -C(O)OH, -C(O)O-CH3, - C(O)NH2, active esters, and –(SP)D-CB; SP is a spacer; D is 0 or 1, preferably D is 1; and CB is a construct B, which is an organic molecule or an inorganic molecule. The enantiomers of the compounds of Formulae (Ia) and (Ib) are depicted in Formulae (en-Ia) and (en-Ib), respectively: R49

Active esters are well-known to the skilled person. Preferably, for R49 the active ester is selected from the group consisting of -C(O)O-N-succinimidyl, -C(O)O-pentafluorophenyl, - C(O)O-tetrafluorophenyl, -C(O)O-4-nitrophenyl, and -C(O)Cl. More preferably, for R49 the active ester is -C(O)O-N-succinimidyl, or -C(O)O-pentafluorophenyl; most preferably for R49 the active ester is -C(O)O-N-succinimidyl. Preferably, if the compound of the disclosure is a final product or is intended to release a payload, R49 is –(SP)D-CB. This moiety can be used to modulate the pharmacokinetic properties of the compound of the disclosure, further aid in masking the activity of the payload (e.g. if the payload is a drug), and/or target the compound of the disclosure to a certain site, for example in vivo. In one preferred embodiment, R49 is –(SP)D-CB, wherein CB is a polymer, preferably polyethylene glycol. In this embodiment, it is especially preferred that D is 0. As such, R49 modulates the pharmacokinetic properties of the compound of the disclosure, and/or aids in the masking of the payload. In another preferred embodiment, R49 is –(SP)D-CB, wherein CB is a Targeting Agent, preferably an antibody or a diabody, more preferably CC49 or AVP0458. In this embodiment R49 targets the compound of the disclosure. In this embodiment, if D is 1, it is preferred that SP is a polymer, preferably polyethylene glycol. For ease of synthesis, however, D may also be 0 in said embodiment. Further preferred embodiments of SP and CB are defined below. In any circumstance, the group -C(O)OH can be advantageously used as R49 to increase the aqueous solubility of compounds of the disclosure, although suitable groups –(SP)D-CB can also be selected for R49 in this respect, e.g. if SP and/or CB is a polyethylene glycol or if CB is an amino acid such as glycine. Preferably, the compound of the disclosure has a structure according to any one of Formulae (II-EQ15), (II-AX15), (II-EQ13), and (II-AX13): R49 R49 R49

The compound of the disclosures may be targeted to a desired cell or tissue in an active or passive way. As described herein active targeting is typically accomplished through the action of a targeting agent, e.g. a small molecule, peptide, aptamer, protein, antibody, or antibody fragment, binding a target expressed on the target location (for example a tumor- specific antigen or receptor). Passive targeting on the other hand relies on the passive accumulation of the compound of the disclosure at the desired cell or tissue by modulating pharmacokinetics and distribution via molecular properties of the compound of the disclosure (e.g. size). Typically, in these situations the compound of the disclosure contains one or more moieties that extends and modulates the half-life of the construct (e.g. PEG, albumin binders). Preferably the compound of the disclosure is designed to passively target the tumor by means of the Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) effect. The targeting agent may be attached to the the (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety of the compound of the disclosure via a chemically cleavable or non-cleavable linker. If attached by a non-cleavable linker, the targeting domain may further aid in retaining the compound of the disclosure at the target site, for example a tumor, and may be considered a retention domain. The targeting domain does not necessarily need to be directly linked to the payload, and may be linked via another element of the compound of the disclosure. In one aspect the disclosure provides a compound of the disclosure comprising a masking moiety, e.g. a polyethylene glycol (PEG) masking domain, preferably as R49. The masking moiety is conjugated to the the (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety of the compound of the disclosure, through a linker, and can be separated from the payload by cleavage of the construct due to reaction of the Trigger with a separately provided activator. Preferably, the Prodrug of the disclosure is designed to be targeted to the site of desired drug activity, for example the tumor microenvironment, while the presence of the compound of the disclosure at non-desired locations (e.g. non-tumor tissue, or blood circulation), is decreasing over time. Administering the activator separated in time from the compound of the disclosure, offers selective drug activity concentrated at the desired locations, while avoiding off-target activity and reducing overall toxicity of drug therapy. In one embodiment, the compound of the disclosure is provided before the activator. Herein, the activator is provided only once the compound of the disclosure is present at the desired location and at the desired local concentration, while at the same time the compound of the disclosure has been cleared from circulation and non-target tissues to a desired reduced level as compared to the initial level occurring directly after the administration. In another embodiment, the activator is administered to the subject before the compound of the disclosure is administered to said subject. Herein, the activator may typically be prelocalized at the target site, for example the tumor microenvironment. Such prelocalization can be achieved by injecting a construct comprising one or more activator moieties at or in the vicinity of the target site. Such construct can comprise a biomolecule or a polymer, such as hyaluronic acid, to which the one or more activator moieties are covalently linked. The construct typically has a size that enables it to remain at or in the vicinity of the target site, and it is not cleared efficiently. Prelocalization of the activator can also be achieved by conjugation of the activator to a targeting agent such as a small molecule, peptide, aptamer, protein, antibody, or antibody fragment, binding a target expressed on the target location (for example a tumor-specific antigen). This targeting agent will provide the activator with active tissue targeting. In conjunction, a compound of the disclosure of the disclosure may next be injected only once the targeted activator is present at the desired location and at the desired local concentration. If a targeted activator is used, the compound of the disclosure is preferably administered when the activator has been cleared from circulation and non-target tissues to a desired reduced level as compared to the initial level directly after administration of the activator. As described herein the prelocalized activator will activate the attenuated Prodrug of the disclosure, thereby restoring complete or nearly complete activity of the drug moiety present in the Prodrug of the disclosure. In other embodiments the activator is targeted to the target tissue in a passive way, as described herein for the compound of the disclosure, for example by comprising one or more activator moieties in a construct that targets the tumor by means of the EPR effect (e.g. diene-containing nanoparticles, diene polymer conjugates). In other embodiments both the compound of the disclosure and the activator are targeted to the target tissue by either passive or active targeting as described herein. The compound of the disclosure can further include a targeting agent such as a small molecule, peptide, antibody, or antibody fragment, binding a target expressed on the target location (for example a tumor-specific antigen). This targeting agent will provide the compound of the disclosure with active tissue targeting. As described herein, when the compound of the disclosure includes a targeting agent, preferably the activator is provided separately only once the distribution of the compound of the disclosure throughout the body is favourable. In a different embodiment, the activator is conjugated to a targeting agent, comprising a small molecule, (oligo)nucleotide, aptamer, carbohydrate, protein, peptide, peptoid, antibody, or antibody fragment, binding a target expressed on the target location (for example a tumor-specific antigen). The diene, preferably a tetrazine, and the targeting agent may be joined directly, or through a non-cleavable linker. The half-life extension element of the compound of the disclosure can be, for example, human serum albumin, an antigen-binding polypeptide or small molecule that binds human serum albumin, an immunoglobulin Fc, or a water-soluble polypeptide such as polysarcosine, or an optionally branched or multi-armed polyethylene glycol (PEG), all previously employed in the art to extend serum half-life. In some embodiments, the masking moiety can also function as a serum half-life extension element (e.g. polyethylene glycol). In some other embodiments, the compound of the disclosure comprises a separate serum half-life extension element. Preferably, the masking agent also functions as the targeting agent. In addition to serum half-life extension and/or masking moieties, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein preferably comprise one or more targeting agents that bind to one or more target antigens or one or more regions on a single target antigen. It is contemplated herein that a compound of the disclosure is cleaved, for example, after the compound of the disclosure has bound to a target antigen present in a disease-specific microenvironment. At least one target antigen is involved in and/or associated with a disease, disorder or condition. Exemplary target antigens include those associated with a proliferative disease, a tumorous disease, an inflammatory disease, an immunological disorder, an autoimmune disease, an infectious disease, a viral disease, an allergic reaction, a parasitic reaction, a graft-versus-host disease or a host-versus-graft disease. In some embodiments, the target antigen is a cell surface molecule such as a protein, lipid or polysaccharide. In some embodiments, the target antigen is present on a tumor cell, virally infected cell, bacterially infected cell, damaged red blood cell, arterial plaque cell, or fibrotic tissue cell. Cell surface target antigens typically are expressed on the surface of a diseased cell or tissue, for example a tumor or a cancer cell, or an immune cell. Such target antigens for tumors include but are not limited to Trophoblast glycoprotein (5T4), Tumor- associated calcium signal transducer 2 (Trop2), CGS-2, EpCAM, EGFR, HER-2, HER-3, c- Met, FOLR1, TAG72, and CEA. In other embodiments, the target antigen is a molecule such as a protein, lipid or polysaccharide present in the direct vicinity of the diseased cell, e.g. the tumor microenvironment. Typically these molecules are found in the extracellular matrix, and not anymore directly connected to a cell. Such target antigens for tumors include but are not limited to Fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAPa), Tenacin C, Tenacin W, Fibronectin EDB (EDB-FN), and fibronectin EIIIB domain. In some embodiments, the targeting polypeptides independently comprise a scFv, a VH domain, a VL domain, a non-Ig domain, or a ligand that specifically binds to the target antigen. In some embodiments, the targeting polypeptide serves as a retention domain and is attached to the drug via a non-cleavable linker.

Figure imgf000069_0001
person is aware, the specific structure of a spacer used in either a dienophile or diene as described herein does not typically influence whether the payload is released. However, in some cases specific spacers are preferred. For example, if a payload is to be released, the spacer between e.g. the allylic carbon of the (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-3-ene moiety and the payload is preferably a self-immolative linker. Such a linker, which is typically referred to as LC herein, ensures that upon release of the end of the linker connected to said allylic carbon, a further rearrangement or reaction takes place, after which the payload is decoupled from the linker LC. Below, first spacers in general are discussed, and thereafter the more specific self-immolative linkers. In general, a spacer SP as used herein is a moiety according to RG2, more preferably any one of the preferred and/or specific embodiments thereof. Preferably, a spacer SP consists of one or multiple Spacer Units SU arranged linearly and/or branched and may be connected to one or more CB moieties and/or one or more LC or TR moieties. The Spacer may be used to connect CB to one TR (Example A below; with reference to Formula 5a and 5b: f, e, a = 1) or more TR (Example B and C below; with reference to Formula 5a and 5b: f, e = 1, a ≥ 1), but it can also be used to modulate the properties, e.g. pharmacokinetic properties, of the CB-TR-CA conjugate (Example D below; with reference to Formula 5a and 5b: one or more of c,e,g,h ≥ 1). Thus a Spacer unit does not necessarily connect two entities together, it may also be bound to only one component, e.g. the TR or LC. Alternatively, the Spacer may comprise a Spacer Unit linking CB to TR and in addition may comprise another Spacer Unit that is only bound to the Spacer and serves to modulate the properties of the conjugate (Example F below; with reference to Formula 5a and 5b: e ≥ 1). The Spacer may also consist of two different types of SU constructs, e.g. a PEG linked to a peptide, or a PEG linked to an alkylene moiety (Example E below; with reference to Formula 5a and 5b: e ≥ 1). For the sake of clarity, Example B depicts a SU that is branched by using a multivalent branched SU. Example C depicts a SU that is branched by using a linear SU polymer, such as a peptide, whose side chain residues serve as conjugation groups.
Figure imgf000070_0001
The Spacer may be bound to the Activator in similar designs such as depicted in above examples A- F. Each individual spacer unit SU may be independently selected from the group of radicals according to RG2. The Spacer Units include but are not limited to amino acids, nucleosides, nucleotides, and biopolymer fragments, such as oligo- or polypeptides, oligo- or polypeptoids, or oligo- or polylactides, or oligo- or poly-carbohydrates, varying from 2 to 200, particularly 2 to 113, preferably 2 to 50, more preferably 2 to 24 and more preferably 2 to 12 repeating units. Preferred biopolymer SU are peptides. Preferably each SU comprises at most 50 carbon atoms, more preferably at most 25 carbon atoms, more preferably at most 10 carbon atoms.

As used herein, each R’is independently selected from the group consisting of radicals according to RG1. Preferably, R’is hydrogen. Other examples of Spacer Units SU are linear or branched polyalkylene glycols such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polypropylene glycol (PPG) chains varying from 2 to 200, particularly 2 to 113, preferably 2 to 50, more preferably 2 to 24 and more preferably 2 to 12 repeating units. It is preferred that when polyalkylene glycols such as PEG and PPG polymers are only bound via one end of the polymer chain, that the other end is terminated with -OCH3, -OCH2CH3, OCH2CH2CO2H. Other polymeric Spacer Units are polymers and copolymers such as poly-(2-oxazoline), poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide) (HPMA), polylactic acid (PLA), polylactic-glycolic acid (PLGA), polyglutamic acid (PG), dextran, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), poly(1-hydroxymethylethylene hydroxymethyl-formal (PHF). Other exemplary polymers are polysaccharides, glycopolysaccharides, glycolipids, polyglycoside, polyacetals, polyketals, polyamides, polyethers, polyesters. Examples of naturally occurring polysaccharides that can be used as SU are cellulose, amylose, dextran, dextrin, levan, fucoidan, carraginan, inulin, pectin, amylopectin, glycogen, lixenan, agarose, hyaluronan, chondroitinsulfate, dermatansulfate, keratansulfate, alginic acid and heparin. In yet other exemplary embodiments, the polymeric SU comprises a copolymer of a polyacetal/polyketal and a hydrophilic polymer selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyvinyl polymers, polyesters, polyorthoesters, polyamides, oligopeptides, polypeptides and derivatives thereof. Preferred polymeric SU are PEG, HPMA, PLA, PLGA, PVP, PHF, dextran, oligopeptides, and polypeptides. In some embodiments, polymers used in a SU have a molecular weight ranging from 2 to 200 kDa, from 2 to 100 kDa, from 2 to 80 kDa, from 2 to 60 kDa, from 2 to 40 kDa, from 2 to 20 kDa, from 3 to 15 kDa, from 5 to 10 kDa, from 500 dalton to 5 kDa. Other exemplary SU are dendrimers, such as poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers, PAMAM dendrimers, and glycol-based dendrimers. The SU of the disclosure expressly include but are not limited to conjugates prepared with commercially available cross-linker reagents such as BMPEO, BMPS, EMCS, GMBS, HBVS, LC-SMCC, MBS, MPBH, SBAP, SIA, SIAB, SMCC, SMPB, SMPH, sulfo-EMCS, sulfo-GMBS, sulfo- KMUS, sulfo-MBS, sulfo-SIAB, sulfo-SMCC, sulfo-SMPB, and SVSB, DTME, BMB, BMDB, BMH, BMOE, BM(PEO)3 and BM(PEO)4. To construct a branching Spacer one may use a SU based on one or several natural or non-natural amino acids, amino alcohol, aminoaldehyde, or polyamine residues or combinations thereof that collectively provide the required functionality for branching. For example serine has three functional groups, i.e. acid, amino and hydroxyl groups and may be viewed as a combined amino acid an aminoalcohol residue for purpose of acting as a branching SU. Other exemplary amino acids are lysine and tyrosine. In some embodiments, the Spacer consists of one Spacer Unit, therefore in those cases SP equals SU. Preferably the Spacer consists of two, three or four Spacer Units. In some embodiments, SP has a molecular weight ranging from 2 to 200 kDa, from 2 to 100 kDa, from 2 to 80 kDa, from 2 to 60 kDa, from 2 to 40 kDa, from 2 to 20 kDa, from 3 to 15 kDa, from 5 to 10 kDa, or from 500 dalton to 5 kDa. In some embodiments, the SP has a mass of no more than 5000 daltons, no more than 4000 daltons, no more than 3000 daltons, no more than 2000 daltons, no more than 1000 daltons, no more than 800 daltons, no more than 500 daltons, no more than 300 daltons, no more than 200 daltons. In some aspects the SP has a mass from 100 daltons, from 200 daltons, from 300 daltons to 5000 daltons. In some aspects of the SP has a mass from 30, 50, or 100 daltons to 1000 daltons, from about 30, 50, or 100 daltons to 500 daltons. Preferably, SP comprises a moiety RG2a, RG2b, RG2c, or a residue of RG1f, as described herein. Preferably, said RG2a, RG2b, RG2c, or a residue of RG1f connects the SP to CB, LC, or TR. Self-immolative linkers LC LC is an optional self-immolative linker, which may consist of multiple units arranged linearly and/or branched. The possible LC structures, their use, position and ways of attachment of linkers LC, CA and the TR are known to the skilled person, see for example [Papot et al., Anticancer Agents Med. Chem., 2008, 8, 618-637]. Nevertheless, preferred but non-limiting examples of self-immolative linkers LC are benzyl-derivatives, such as those drawn below. There are two main self-immolation mechanisms: electron cascade elimination and cyclization-mediated elimination. The preferred example below on the left functions by means of the cascade mechanism, wherein the bond between the allylic carbon of the Trigger and the -O- or -S- attached to said carbon is cleaved, and an electron pair of YC1, for example an electron pair of NR6, shifts into the benzyl moiety resulting in an electron cascade and the formation of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, CO2 and the liberated payload. The preferred example in the middle functions by means of the cyclization mechanism, wherein cleavage of the bond to the NR6 on the side of the Trigger leads to nucleophilic attack of the amine on the carbonyl, forming a 5-ring 1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-one and liberating the payload. The preferred example on the right combines both mechanisms. This linker will degrade not only into CO2 and one unit of 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (when YC1 is O), but also into one 1,3- dimethylimidazolidin-2-one unit.

a - or - on cyclooctene, and the double dashed line indicates a bond to CA. By substituting the benzyl groups of aforementioned self-immolative linkers LC, it is possible to tune the rate of release of the payload, caused by either steric and/or electronic effects on the cyclization and/or cascade release. Synthetic procedures to prepare such substituted benzyl-derivatives are known to the skilled person (see for example [Greenwald et al, J. Med. Chem., 1999, 42, 3657-3667] and [Thornthwaite et al, Polym. Chem., 2011, 2, 773-790]. Some preferred substituted benzyl-derivatives with different release rates are drawn below. Self-immolative linkers that undergo cyclization include but are not limited to substituted and unsubstituted aminobutyric acid amide, appropriately substituted bicyclo[2.2.1] and bicyclo[2.2.2] ring system, 2-aminophenylpropionic acid amides, and trimethyl lock-based linkers, see e.g. [Chem. Biol.1995, 2, 223], [J. Am. Chem. Soc.1972, 94, 5815], [J. Org. Chem.1990, 55, 5867], the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Further preferred examples of LC can be found in WO2009017394(A1), US7375078, WO2015038426A1, WO2004043493, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2015, 54, 7492 – 7509, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Preferably the LC has a mass of no more than 1000 daltons, no more than 500 daltons, no more than 400 daltons, no more than 300 daltons, or from 10, 50 or 100 to 1000 daltons, from 10, 50, 100 to 400 daltons, from 10, 50, 100 to 300 daltons, from 10, 50, 100 to 200 daltons, e.g., 10-1000 daltons, such as 50-500 daltons, such as 100 to 400 daltons. A person skilled in the art will know that one LC may be connected to another LC that is bound to CA, wherein upon reaction of the Activator with the Trigger TR, LC-LC-CA is released from the TR, leading to self-immolative release of both LC moietes and the payload. With respect to the LC formulas disclosed herein, the LC linking the TR to the other LC then does not release the payload but an LC that is bound via YC1 and further links to CA. The skilled person will acknowledge that this principle also holds for further linkers LC linked to LC, e.g. LC-LC-LC-LC-CA. Preferably, if the releasable group contains a self-immolative linker, the releasable group is according to any one of Group I, Group II, Group III, and Group IV as shown below.

In the drawings, the size of some of the elements may be exaggerated and not drawn on scale for illustrative purposes. Where an indefinite or definite article is used when referring to a singular noun e.g. "a" or "an", "the", this includes a plural of that noun unless something else is specifically stated. The verb "to comprise", and its conjugations, as used in this description and in the claims is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. In addition, reference to an element by the indefinite article "a" or "an" does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there is one and only one of the elements. The indefinite article "a" or "an" thus usually means "at least one". Thus, the scope of the expression "a device comprising means A and B" should not be limited to devices consisting only of components A and B. It means that with respect to the present disclosure, the only relevant components of the device are A and B. The compounds disclosed in this description and in the claims may comprise one or more asymmetric centres, and different diastereomers and/or enantiomers may exist of the compounds. The description of any diene in this description and in the claims is meant to include all diastereomers, and mixtures thereof, unless stated otherwise. In addition, the description of any compound in this description and in the claims is meant to include both the individual enantiomers, as well as any mixture, racemic or otherwise, of the enantiomers, unless stated otherwise. When the structure of a compound is depicted as a specific enantiomer, it is to be understood that the disclosure of the present application is not limited to that specific enantiomer, unless stated otherwise. When the structure of a diene is depicted as a specific diastereomer, it is to be understood that the disclosure of the present application is not limited to that specific diastereomer, unless stated otherwise. The compounds may occur in different tautomeric forms. The compounds according to the disclosure are meant to include all tautomeric forms, unless stated otherwise. When the structure of a compound is depicted as a specific tautomer, it is to be understood that the disclosure of the present application is not limited to that specific tautomer, unless stated otherwise. The compounds disclosed in this description and in the claims may further exist as exo and endo diastereoisomers. Unless stated otherwise, the description of any compound in the description and in the claims is meant to include both the individual exo and the individual endo diastereoisomers of a compound, as well as mixtures thereof. When the structure of a compound is depicted as a specific endo or exo diastereomer, it is to be understood that the disclosure of the present application is not limited to that specific endo or exo diastereomer, unless stated otherwise. Unless stated otherwise, the compounds of the disclosure and/or groups thereof may be protonated or deprotonated. It will be understood that it is possible that a compound may bear multiple charges which may be of opposite sign. For example, in a compound containing an amine and a carboxylic acid, the amine may be protonated while simultaneously the carboxylic acid is deprotonated. In several formulae, groups or substituents are indicated with reference to letters such as “A”, “B”, “X”, “Y”, and various (numbered) “R” groups. In addition, the number of repeating units may be referred to with a letter, e.g. n in -(CH2)n-. The definitions of these letters are to be read with reference to each formula, i.e. in different formulae these letters, each independently, can have different meanings unless indicated otherwise. In several chemical formulae and texts below reference is made to "alkyl", "heteroalkyl", "aryl", “heteroaryl”, “alkenyl”, “alkynyl”, “alkylene”, “alkenylene”, “alkynylene”, "arylene", “cycloalkyl”, “cycloalkenyl”, “cycloakynyl”, and the like. The number of carbon atoms that these groups have, excluding the carbon atoms comprised in any optional substituents as defined below, can be indicated by a designation preceding such terms (e.g. “C1-C8 alkyl” means that said alkyl may have from 1 to 8 carbon atoms). For the avoidance of doubt, a butyl group substituted with a -OCH3 group is designated as a C4 alkyl, because the carbon atom in the substituent is not included in the carbon count. Unsubstituted alkyl groups have the general formula CnH2n+1 and may be linear or branched. Optionally, the alkyl groups are substituted by one or more substituents further specified in this document. Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, 2-propyl, t-butyl, 1-hexyl, 1-dodecyl, etc. A cycloalkyl group is a cyclic alkyl group. Unsubstituted cycloalkyl groups comprise at least three carbon atoms and have the general formula CnH2n-1. Optionally, the cycloalkyl groups are substituted by one or more substituents further specified in this document. Examples of cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. An alkenyl group comprises one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and may be linear or branched. Unsubstituted alkenyl groups comprising one C-C double bond have the general formula CnH2n-1. Unsubstituted alkenyl groups comprising two C-C double bonds have the general formula CnH2n-3. An alkenyl group may comprise a terminal carbon-carbon double bond and/or an internal carbon-carbon double bond. A terminal alkenyl group is an alkenyl group wherein a carbon-carbon double bond is located at a terminal position of a carbon chain. An alkenyl group may also comprise two or more carbon-carbon double bonds. Examples of an alkenyl group include ethenyl, propenyl, isopropenyl, t-butenyl, 1,3- butadienyl, 1,3-pentadienyl, etc. Unless stated otherwise, an alkenyl group may optionally be substituted with one or more, independently selected, substituents as defined below. A cycloalkenyl group is a cyclic alkenyl group. An unsubstituted cycloalkenyl group comprising one double bond has the general formula CnH2n-3. Optionally, a cycloalkenyl group is substituted by one or more substituents further specified in this document. An example of a cycloalkenyl group is cyclopentenyl. An alkynyl group comprises one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds, and may be linear or branched. Unsubstituted alkynyl groups comprising one C-C triple bond have the general formula CnH2n-3. An alkynyl group may comprise a terminal carbon-carbon triple bond and/or an internal carbon-carbon triple bond. A terminal alkynyl group is an alkynyl group wherein a carbon-carbon triple bond is located at a terminal position of a carbon chain. An alkynyl group may also comprise two or more carbon-carbon triple bonds. Unless stated otherwise, an alkynyl group may optionally be substituted with one or more, independently selected, substituents as defined below. Examples of an alkynyl group include ethynyl, propynyl, isopropynyl, t-butynyl, etc. A cycloalkynyl group is a cyclic alkynyl group. An unsubstituted cycloalkynyl group comprising one triple bond has the general formula CnH2n-5. Optionally, a cycloalkynyl group is substituted by one or more substituents further specified in this document. An example of a cycloalkynyl group is cyclooctynyl. An aryl group refers to an aromatic hydrocarbon ring system that comprises six to twenty-four carbon atoms, more preferably six to twelve carbon atoms, and may include monocyclic and polycyclic structures. When the aryl group is a polycyclic structure, it is preferably a bicyclic structure. Optionally, the aryl group may be substituted by one or more substituents further specified in this document. Examples of aryl groups are phenyl and naphthyl. Preferably, an aryl groups is phenyl. Arylalkyl groups and alkylaryl groups comprise at least seven carbon atoms and may include monocyclic and bicyclic structures. Optionally, the arylalkyl groups and alkylaryl may be substituted by one or more substituents further specified in this document. An arylalkyl group is for example benzyl. An alkylaryl group is for example 4-tert-butylphenyl. Preferably, heteroaryl groups comprise five to sixteen carbon atoms and contain between one to five heteroatoms. Heteroaryl groups comprise at least two carbon atoms (i.e. at least C2) and one or more heteroatoms N, O, P or S. A heteroaryl group may have a monocyclic or a bicyclic structure. Optionally, the heteroaryl group may be substituted by one or more substituents further specified in this document. Examples of suitable heteroaryl groups include pyridinyl, quinolinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, pyrrolyl, furanyl, triazolyl, benzofuranyl, indolyl, purinyl, benzoxazolyl, thienyl, phospholyl and oxazolyl. Heteroarylalkyl groups and alkylheteroaryl groups comprise at least three carbon atoms (i.e. at least C3) and may include monocyclic and bicyclic structures. Optionally, the heteroaryl groups may be substituted by one or more substituents further specified in this document. Where an aryl group is denoted as a (hetero)aryl group, the notation is meant to include an aryl group and a heteroaryl group. Similarly, an alkyl(hetero)aryl group is meant to include an alkylaryl group and an alkylheteroaryl group, and (hetero)arylalkyl is meant to include an arylalkyl group and a heteroarylalkyl group. A C2-C24 (hetero)aryl group is thus to be interpreted as including a C2-C24 heteroaryl group and a C6-C24 aryl group. Similarly, a C3- C24 alkyl(hetero)aryl group is meant to include a C7-C24 alkylaryl group and a C3-C24 alkylheteroaryl group, and a C3-C24 (hetero)arylalkyl is meant to include a C7-C24 arylalkyl group and a C3-C24 heteroarylalkyl group. In general, when (hetero) is placed before a group, it refers to both the variant of the group without the prefix hetero- as well as the group with the prefix hetero-. Herein, the prefix hetero- denotes that the group contains one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N, S, P, and Si. Preferably, the one or more heteroatoms is selected from the group consisting of O, N, S, and P. It will be understood that for any compound containing a heteroatom, the N, S, and P atoms are optionally oxidized and the N atoms are optionally quaternized. Preferably, up to two heteroatoms are consecutive, such as in for example -CH2-NH-OCH3 and -CH2-O-Si(CH3)3. More preferably, however, the heteroatoms are not directly bound to one another. Examples of heteroalkyls include -CH2CH2-O-CH3, -CH2CH2-NH-CH3, -CH2CH2- S(O)-CH3, -CH=CH-O-CH3, CH2CH2-NH2, CH2CH2-SH, -CH2CH2-OH, -CH2CH2-COOH, - CH2C(O)H, -C(O)HCH3, and -Si(CH3)3. Preferably, a C1-C4 heteroalkyl contains at most 2 heteroatoms. Herein, it will be understood that when the prefix hetero- is used for combinations of groups, the prefix hetero- only refers to the one group before it is directly placed. For example, heteroarylalkyl denotes the combination of a heteroaryl group and an alkyl group, not the combination of a heteroaryl and a heteroalkyl group. Herein, the prefix cyclo- denotes that groups are cyclic. It will be understood that when the prefix cyclo- is used for combinations of groups, the prefix cyclo- only refers to the one group before it is directly placed. For example, cycloalkylalkenylene denotes the combination of a cycloalkylene group (see the definition of the suffix -ene below) and an alkenylene group, not the combination of a cycloalkylene and a cycloalkenylene group. In general, when (cyclo) is placed before a group, it refers to both the variant of the group without the prefix cyclo- as well as the group with the prefix cyclo-. Herein, the suffix -ene denotes divalent groups, i.e. that the group is linked to at least two other moieties. An example of an alkylene is propylene (-CH2-CH2-CH2-), which is linked to another moiety at both termini. It is understood that if a group with the suffix -ene is substituted at one position with -H, then this group is identical to a group without the suffix. For example, an alkylene attached to an -H is identical to an alkyl group. I.e. propylene, - CH2-CH2-CH2-, attached to an -H at one terminus, -CH2-CH2-CH2-H, is logically identical to propyl, -CH2-CH2-CH3. Herein, when combinations of groups are listed with the suffix -ene, it refers to a divalent group, i.e. that the group is linked to at least two other moieties, wherein each group of the combination contains one linkage to one of these two moieties. As such, for example alkylarylene is understood as a combination of an arylene group and an alkylene group. An example of an alkylarylene group is -phenyl-CH2-, and an example of an arylalkylene group is -CH2-phenyl-. Unless indicated otherwise, a hetero group may contain a heteroatom at non-terminal positions or at one or more terminal positions. In this case, “terminal” refers to the terminal position within the group, and not necessarily to the terminal position of the entire compound. For example, C2 heteroalkylene may refer to -NH-CH2-CH2-, -CH2-NH-CH2-, and -CH2-CH2- NH-. For example, C2 heteroalkyl may refer to -NH-CH2-CH3, -CH2-NH-CH3, and -CH2- CH2-NH2. Herein, it is understood that cyclic compounds (i.e. aryl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, etc.) are understood to be monocyclic, polycyclic or branched. It is understood that the number of carbon atoms for cyclic compounds not only refers to the number of carbon atoms in one ring, but that the carbon atoms may be comprised in multiple rings. These rings may be fused to the main ring or substituted onto the main ring. For example, C10 aryl optionally containing heteroatoms may refer to inter alia a naphthyl group (fused rings) or to e.g. a bipyridyl group (substituted rings, both containing an N atom). Unless stated otherwise, any group disclosed herein that is not cyclic is understood to be linear or branched. In particular, (hetero)alkyl groups, (hetero)alkenyl groups, (hetero)alkynyl groups, (hetero)alkylene groups, (hetero)alkenylene groups, (hetero)alkynylene groups, and the like are linear or branched, unless stated otherwise. The general term "sugar" is herein used to indicate a monosaccharide, for example glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), mannose (Man) and fucose (Fuc). The term "sugar derivative" is herein used to indicate a derivative of a monosaccharide sugar, i.e. a monosaccharide sugar comprising substituents and/or functional groups. Examples of a sugar derivative include amino sugars and sugar acids, e.g. glucosamine (GlcNH2), galactosamine (GalNH2) N- acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), sialic acid (Sia) which is also referred to as N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuNAc), and N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc), glucuronic acid (GlcA) and iduronic acid (ldoA). A sugar may be without further substitution, and then it is understood to be a monosaccharide. A sugar may be further substituted with at one or more of its hydroxyl groups, and then it is understood to be a disaccharide or an oligosaccharide. A disaccharide contains two monosaccharide moieties linked together. An oligosaccharide chain may be linear or branched, and may contain from 3 to 10 monosaccharide moieties. The term “amino acid” is used herein in its normal scientific meaning. In particular, amino acids in relation to the disclosure comprise both natural and unnatural amino acids. Preferably, amino acids as used herein are selected from the group consisting of alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, valine, azidolysine, beta-alanine (bAla), 4-aminomethyl phenylalanine (Amf), 4- guanidine phenylalanine (Gnf), 4-aminomethyl-N-isopropyl phenylalanine (Iaf), 3-pyridyl alanine (Pya), 4-piperidyl alanine (Ppa), 4-aminomethyl cyclohexyl alanine (Ama), 4- aminocyclohexyl alanine (Aca), ornithine (Orn), citrulline, hydroxylysine (Hyl), allo- hydroxylysine (aHyl), 6-N-methyllysine (MeLys), desmosine (Des), isodesmosine (Ide), 2- aminoadipic acid (Aad), 3-aminoadipic acid (bAad), 2-aminobutyric acid (Abu), 4- aminobutyric acid (4Abu), 6-aminohexonic acid (Acp), 2-aminoheptanoic acid (Ahe), 2- aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), 3-aminoisobutyric acid (bAib), 2-aminopimelic acid (Apm), 2,4- diaminobutyric acid (Dbu), 2,2’-diaminopimelic acid (Dpm), 2-3-diaminopropionic acid (Dpr), N-ethylglycine (EtGly), N-ethylasparagine (EtAsn), 3-hydroxyproline (3Hyp), 4- hydroxyproline (4Hyp), allo-isoleucine (AIle), sarcosine (MeGly), N-methylisoleucine (MeIle), N-methylvaline (MeVal), norvaline (Nva), and norleucine (Nle). Preferably, an amino acid as referred to herein is a natural amino acid. The term "protein" is herein used in its normal scientific meaning. Herein, polypeptides comprising about 10 or more amino acids are considered proteins. A protein may comprise natural, but also unnatural amino acids. The term “protein” herein is understood to comprise antibodies and antibody fragments. The term “peptide” is herein used in its normal scientific meaning. Herein, peptides are considered to comprise a number of amino acids in a range of from 2 to 9. The term “peptoid” is herein used in its normal scientific meaning. An antibody is a protein generated by the immune system that is capable of recognizing and binding to a specific antigen. While antibodies or immunoglobulins derived from IgG antibodies are particularly well-suited for use in this disclosure, immunoglobulins from any of the classes or subclasses may be selected, e.g. IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD and IgE. Suitably, the immunoglobulin is of the class IgG including but not limited to IgG subclasses (IgG1, 2, 3 and 4) or class IgM which is able to specifically bind to a specific epitope on an antigen. Antibodies can be intact immunoglobulins derived from natural sources or from recombinant sources and can be immunoreactive portions of intact immunoglobulins. Antibodies may exist in a variety of forms including, for example, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, camelized single domain antibodies, recombinant antibodies, anti- idiotype antibodies, multispecific antibodies, antibody fragments, such as, Fv, VHH, Fab, F(ab)2, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, single chain variable fragment antibodies (scFv), tandem/bis- scFv, Fc, pFc', scFv-Fc, disulfide Fv (dsFv), bispecific antibodies (bc-scFv) such as BiTE antibodies, trispecific antibody derivatives such as tribodies, camelid antibodies, minibodies, nanobodies, resurfaced antibodies, humanized antibodies, fully human antibodies, single domain antibodies (sdAb, also known as NanobodyTM), chimeric antibodies, chimeric antibodies comprising at least one human constant region, dual-affinity antibodies such as dual-affinity retargeting proteins (DARTTM), and multimers and derivatives thereof, such as divalent or multivalent single-chain variable fragments (e.g. di-scFvs, tri-scFvs) including but not limited to minibodies, diabodies, triabodies, tribodies, tetrabodies, and the like, and multivalent antibodies. Reference is made to [Trends in Biotechnology 2015, 33, 2, 65], [Trends Biotechnol.2012, 30, 575–582], and [Canc. Gen. Prot.201310, 1-18], and [BioDrugs 2014, 28, 331–343], the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. "Antibody fragment" refers to at least a portion of the variable region of the immunoglobulin that binds to its target, i.e. the antigen-binding region. Other embodiments use antibody mimetics as Drug DD or Targeting Agent TT, such as but not limited to Affimers, Anticalins, Avimers, Alphabodies, Affibodies, DARPins, and multimers and derivatives thereof; reference is made to [Trends in Biotechnology 2015, 33, 2, 65], the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference. For the avoidance of doubt, in the context of this disclosure the term "antibody" is meant to encompass all of the antibody variations, fragments, derivatives, fusions, analogs and mimetics outlined in this paragraph, unless specified otherwise. Preferred antibodies in relation to the disclosure are CC49 and AVP0458. The amino acid sequence of one monomer of AVP0458 is depicted in Figure 4 (SEQ ID NO: 1). AVP0458 consists of two monomers, wherein each of the two monomers has an amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1. A spacer is herein defined as a moiety that connects two or more elements of a compound. The terms “spacer” and “linker” are used herein interchangeably. Typically, a spacer is herein denoted as SP, and the more specific self-immolative linkers as LC. It will be understood that when herein, it is stated that “each individual SP is linked at all ends to the remainder of the structure” this refers to the fact that the spacer SP connects multiple moieties within a structure, and therefore the spacer has multiple ends by defintion. The spacer SP may be linked to each individual moiety via different or identical moieties that may be each individually selected. Typically, these linking moieties are to be seen to be part of spacer SP itself. In case the spacer SP links two moieties within a structure, “all ends” should be interpreted as “both ends”. As an example, if the spacer connects a trans-cylooctene moiety to a Construct B, then “the remainder of the molecule” refers to the trans-cylooctene moiety and Construct B, while the connecting moieties between the spacer and the trans-cyclooctene moiety and Construct B (i.e. at both ends) may be individually selected. As used herein, an organic molecule is defined as a molecule comprising a C-H bond. Organic compound and organic molecule are used synonymously. As used herein, an inorganic molecule is defined as any molecule not being an organic molecule, i.e. not comprising a C-H bond. It will be understood that “inorganic molecule” typically also comprises hydrogen, -COOH, etc. As used herein, a “small molecule” is preferably a small organic molecule. In general, a small molecule has a molecular weight of at most 2 kDa, more preferably at most 1 kDa, more preferably at most 750 Da, more preferably at most 500 Da, and most preferably at most 300 Da. Preferably, a small molecule has a molecular weight of at least 15 Da, more preferably at least 50 Da, more preferably at least 75 Da, and most preferably at least 100 Da. As used herein, “particle” is preferably defined as a microparticle or a nanoparticle. A "primary target" as used in the present disclosure can be any molecule, which is present in an organism, tissue or cell. Preferably, a “primary target” relates to a target for a targeting agent for therapy, imaging, theranostics, diagnostics, or in vitro studies. The term "salt thereof” means a compound formed when an acidic proton, typically a proton of an acid, is replaced by a cation, such as a metal cation or an organic cation and the like. The term "salt thereof” also means a compound formed when an amine is protonated. Where applicable, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, although this is not required for salts that are not intended for administration to a patient. For example, in a salt of a compound the compound may be protonated by an inorganic or organic acid to form a cation, with the conjugate base of the inorganic or organic acid as the anionic component of the salt. The term "pharmaceutically accepted salt” means a salt that is acceptable for administration to a patient, such as a mammal (salts with counter-ions having acceptable mammalian safety for a given dosage regime). Such salts may be derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic bases and from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic acids. "Pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound, which salts are derived from a variety of organic and inorganic counter ions known in the art and include, for example, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium, tetraalkylammonium, etc., and when the molecule contains a basic functionality, salts of organic or inorganic acids, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, formate, tartrate, besylate, mesylate, acetate, maleate, oxalate, etc. The unified atomic mass unit or Dalton is herein abbreviated to Da. The skilled person is aware that Dalton is a regular unit for molecular weight and that 1 Da is equivalent to 1 g/mol (grams per mole). It will be understood that herein, the terms “moiety” and “group” are used interchangeably when referring to a part of a molecule. It will be understood that when a heteroatom is denoted as -X(R’)2-, wherein X is the heteroatom and R’ is a certain moiety, then this denotes that two moieties R’ are attached to the heteroatom. It will be understood that when a group is denoted as, for example, -((R51)2-R52)2- or a similar notation, in which R51 and R52 are certain moieties, then this denotes that first, it should be written as -R51-R51-R52-R51-R51-R52- before the individual R51 and R52 moieties are selected, rather than first selecting moieties R51 and R52 and then writing out the formula. It will be understood that the disclosure is divided into several Sections. It will be understood that the embodiments in each Section can be combined with embodiments from other sections, or in general with any embodiment disclosed herein. In the event that the symbols describing variables (e.g. R-groups, Formula numbers, single letters describing an integer, and the like) in a Section are identical to those of a different Section or another part of the disclosure, it will be understood that said symbols are as defined within the same Section. For example, if Section 2 and Section 3 both describe an R1-group with different definitions, R1 in Section 2 should be interpreted as defined in Section 2. Regardless of these possible identical symbols, it will be understood that the different embodiments between sections may be combined, and the symbols may be redefined (e.g. renumbered) if necessary. As used herein, “Prodrug” refers to a compound of the disclosure wherein CA is a drug, unless indicated otherwise, as the activity of the drug is significantly reduced by masking, and the drug can be reactivated if desired as described herein.

A 12 g ISCO cartridge is charged with 5 g of silica (on the bottom), 5 g of 9.5% AgNO3 on silica (in the middle) and 2 g silica (on top) and equilibrated with 50% Et2O in heptane. The cis-cyclooctene (1 eq) and methyl benzoate (2 eq) are dissolved in 20 mL 1:1 Et2O:heptane. The substrate is cycled through the reactor and column at 5 mL/min (4.8 min residence time) and column while bubbling with N2 for 15 minutes prior to starting the reaction by turning the lamp on. After 3 hours, the column is flushed with Et2O. The silica is subsequently treated with Et2O with 12 eq NH3 (aq) and filtered. The silica is extracted once more with CH2Cl2:NH3 and the combined extracts are concentrated and purified by silica column chromatography (EtOAc in heptanes) and/or purified by preparative HPLC to yield both the axial isomer and the equatorial isomer of the s-TCO in pure form after lyophilization.

Example 4.1 -Antibody conjugation of CC49-1,5-sTCO-benzylamine (1.8)
Figure imgf000121_0003
Compound 1.7 was dissolved in dry DMF at a 20 mM concentration. An anti-TAG72 IgG (CC49) was reacted with 40 eq 1.7 in a PBS/propylene glycol/DMF 70:20:10 mixture. The pH was adjusted to 8.5 with 1M sodium carbonate and the reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature in the dark on a roller bench. After 2h incubation, the conjugation product 1.8 was purified by PD-10 pre-equilibrated with 25% propylene glycol in PBS. SEC and SDS-PAGE analysis of compound 1.8 showed >95% purity while a tetrazine titration showed the presence of an average 3.1 tags per IgG. After 16 months mAb storage in PBS at +4 °C in the dark 78% of the CC49-conjugated TCO was found to be still reactive towards tetrazines, confirming the relative stability of the s-TCO in storage conditions. Example 4.2 -Kinetic measurements Kinetic measurements between 1.8 and an 111In-labeled tetrazine were carried out in pseudo- first order conditions, as previously described (Bioconjugate Chem.2016, 27, 1697−1706). Briefly, various amounts of mAb conjugate (20, 40 and 80 µg/mL) were reacted with the radiolabeled tetrazine at 37 °C in PBS. Aliquots of the reaction mixtures (20 µL) taken at various time points between 15 sec and 3 min were quenched with a large excess of non- radioactive tetrazine and then analyzed by SDS-PAGE and phosphor imager. The cycloaddition yields were determined from the % radioactivity in the bands corresponding to the mAb. The reaction yields with time were fitted to a first-order exponential (Figure 1A) and a pseudo first-order rate constant (kobs) was determined from the fit. The values of kobs were then plotted vs. the concentration of TCO and fitted using linear regression (Figure 1B). Based on kobs=[TCO](k2), a (49.6 ± 5.1) × 103 M-1s-1 second order rate constant was calculated from the slope of the line. Example 4.3 -Methyl benzylamine release from CC49 conjugate 1.8 30 µL of CC49-1,5-s-TCO-MBA (1.8) solution (2.56 µg/µL in 25% PG in PBS) was transferred to a 0.5 mL Eppendorf tube, and 0.6 µL 3,6-dimethyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine 2.1 solution (25 mM in DMSO) was added. The solution was homogenized and incubated at 37 °C for a specific time. Then, 150 µL of ice-cold acetonitrile was added, and the mixture was vortexed, stored at -18 °C for 30 min, and centrifuged for 5 min at 13000 rpm.100 µL of supernatant was taken and transferred to a sample vial. HPLC-SIM-MS analysis was used to quantify the concentration of N-methylbenzylamine (m/z = +122 Da) using a calibration curve, and the release yield was determined. All time points were performed in triplicate (N=3).36.1% of releasable N-methylbenzylamine was released at the first recorded timepoint (10 min). There was 62.2% and 87.3% release at the subsequent 30 and 60 minutes timepoints demonstrating efficient payload release. The results of this experiment are shown in Figure 2. Example 4.4 - Blood circulation and in vivo stability The conjugate 1.8 was labeled with iodine-125 using the Bolton-Hunter method, as previously described (Bioconjugate Chem.2016, 27, 1697−1706). Female tumor-free nude mice (n=3) were injected 200 µg 125I-labeled 1.8 (ca.0.5 MBq/mouse in 100 µL PBS). Blood samples (ca.40 µL) were withdrawn from the vena saphena at 1 and 6 hours, 1, 2 and 3 days followed by one last collection via heart puncture at euthanasia. The blood samples were immediately measured in a gamma counter together with standards to determine the % injected dose per gram (%ID/g) and then they were stored at -20 °C. The radioactivity levels in blood showed a two-phase elimination profile typical of intact IgGs with a 2.8 h t1/2,α (54.3%) and a 64.4 h t1/2,β. At the end of the experiment, all blood samples were thawed, diluted to 100 µL with PBS and reacted ex vivo with an excess of 111In-labeled tetrazine (labeled at 0.15 MBq/µg). After 1h incubation at 37 °C, the reaction mixtures were centrifuged at 12.5 krpm for 5 min and the supernatants were purified twice via Zeba desalting spin columns (0.5 mL, 40 kDa MW cut-off) pre-equilibrated with PBS, to remove unreacted tetrazine. The eluates were then measured in a gamma-counter with a dual-isotope protocol with cross-contamination correction. As in previous studies (Bioconjugate Chem.2016, 27, 1697−1706), the In-111/I- 125 cpm ratio in the samples was plotted vs time (Figure 3A). The in vivo TCO deactivation half-life (5.6 days) was calculated from the linear fitting of the data (Figure 3B). This shows that the compounds of the disclosure have an excellent stability in vivo.
