Each of the applications is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for all purposes.

[0002] The present application relates to new binder-drug conjugates (ADCs) of N,N-dialkylauristatins that are directed against the target C4.4a, to active metabolites of these ADCs, to processes for preparing these ADCs, to the use of these ADCs for treating and/or preventing illnesses, and also to the use of these ADCs for producing medicaments for treating and/or preventing illnesses, more particularly hyperproliferative and/or angiogenic diseases such as, for example, cancer diseases. Such treatments may be practised as a monotherapy or else in combination with other medicaments or further therapeutic measures.

[0003] Cancer diseases are the consequence of uncontrolled cell growth in a wide variety of tissues. In many cases the new cells penetrate existing tissue (invasive growth), or they metastase into remote organs. Cancer diseases occur in a wide variety of organs, and the illnesses often progress in a tissue-specific manner. The designation "cancer disease" as a generic term therefore describes a large group of defined diseases of different organs, tissues and cell types.

[0004] Early-stage tumours may be able to be removed by surgical and radiotherapeutic measures. Metastasized tumours can generally only be given palliative therapy by means of chemotherapeutic agents. The objective in that case is to achieve the optimum combination of improving quality of life and prolonging remaining lifetime.

[0005] The majority of the chemotherapeutic agents which are presently administered parenterally are often not target-directed at the tumour tissue or the tumour cells, but instead, as a result of their systemic administration, are distributed non-specifically within the body, hence including at locations at which exposure to the drug is undesirable, such as in healthy cells, tissues and organs, for example. This may lead to unwanted side-effects and even to serious effects of general toxicity, which then often greatly limit the therapeutically useful dose range of the drug, or necessitate complete cessation of medication.

[0006] The improved and selective availability of these chemotherapeutic agents in the tumour cell or the immediately surrounding tissue, and the associated boost in effect, on the one hand, and minimization of toxic side-effects, on the other hand, have therefore been a focal point for a number of years in the development of new chemotherapeutic agents. Many attempts have been made to date to develop efficient methods of introducing the drug into the target cell. Optimizing the association between drug and intracellular target and minimizing the intercellular distribution of drug, to adjacent cells, for example, nevertheless continue to constitute a difficult problem.

[0007] Monoclonal antibodies, for example, are suitable for the target-directed addressing of tumour tissue and tumour cells. The significance of such antibodies for the clinical treatment of cancer diseases has seen a considerable general increase in recent years, based on the activity of such agents as trastuzumab (Herceptin), rituximab (Rituxan), cetuximab (Erbitux) and bevacizumab (Avastin), which have since been approved for the therapy of individual, specific tumour diseases [see e.g. G. P. Adams and L. M. Weiner, Nat. Biotechnol. 23, 1147-1157 (2005)]. Consequently there has also been a marked increase in interest in so-called immunoconjugates such as, for example, the aforementioned ADCs, in which an internalizing antibody directed against a tumour-associated antigen is joined covalently via a linking unit ("linker") to a cytotoxic agent. Following introduction of the ADC into the tumour cell and subsequent cleavage of the conjugate, either the cytotoxic agent itself or another metabolite with cytotoxic activity, formed from the cytotoxic agent, is released within the tumour cell, where it is able to develop its effect directly and selectively. In this way it would be possible to keep the damage to normal tissue within significantly closer limits in comparison to a conventional chemotherapy of the cancer disease [see e.g. J. M. Lambert, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 5, 543-549 (2005); A. M. Wu and P. D. Senter, Nat. Biotechnol. 23, 1137-1146 (2005); P. D. Senter, Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol. 13, 235-244 (2009); L. Ducry and B. Stump, Bioconjugate Chem. 21, 5-13 (2010)].

[0008] Instead of antibodies, it is also possible for binders from the small-molecule drug sphere to be used as binders which bind selectively to a specific target location ("target"), such as to a receptor, for example [see e.g. E. Ruoslahti et al., Science 279, 377-380 (1998); D. Karkan et al., PLoS ONE 3 (6), e2469 (Jun. 25, 2008)]. Also known are conjugates of cytotoxic drug and addressing ligand that exhibit a defined cleavage point between ligand and drug for the release of the drug. A "predetermined break point" of this kind may exist, for example, within a peptide chain which can be cleaved selectively at a particular site by a specific enzyme at the location of action [see e.g. R. A. Firestone and L. A. Telan, US Patent Application US 2002/0147138].

[0009] Especially suitable for the target-directed addressing of tumour tissue and tumour cells are monoclonal antibodies directed against the antigen C4.4a. C4.4a (gene: LYPD3) was first described as a metastasis-associated, cell surface protein in rat pancreas tumour cells (Rosel M. et al., Oncogene 1998, 17(15):1989-2002). Human C4.4a was isolated from its placental cDNA library (Wurfel, J. et. al. Gene 2001, 262:35-41). C4.4a exhibits structural homology with the uPA receptor and contains two LY6 domains, which exhibit the typical three-finger folding pattern and are linked via 9 disulphide bridges (Jacobsen B. & Ploug M., Current Medicinal Chemistry 2008, 15:2559-2573). C4.4a is anchored in the cell via glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI). The protein is highly glycosylated and contains numerous N- and O-glycosylation sites. C4.4a exhibits strong expression in tumour cells of lung cancer, large bowel cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, head-and-neck tumours and melanomas. RNA analyses have shown C4.4a expression in .about.50% of primary pulmonary tumours and .about.75% of lung cancer metastases, although expression in healthy lung tissue was not detectable (Wurfel J. et. al., Gene 2001, 262:35-41). C4.4a can be used as a prognostic marker in non-small-cell lung cancer--a high level of C4.4a expression correlates with a poor prognosis (Hansen L. et al., Lung Cancer 2007, 58:260-266). The same is true for large bowel cancer. C4.4a is cleaved off from the surface of the tumour cell and can be used as a prognostic serum marker (K. Konishi et al., Cancer Science 2010). A detailed expression analysis of melanomas has shown that C4.4a is expressed in .about.60% of primary malignant melanomas and in 100% of lymph-node and skin metastases (Seiter S. et al., J Invest Dermatol. 2001, 116(2):344-347). Upregulation of C4.4a gene expression is observed in breast cancer tissue as compared with adjacent normal tissues (Fletcher G. C., Br. J. Cancer 2003, 88(4):579-585). C4.4a is an ideal target protein for a tumour therapy, since C4.4a expression in healthy tissues is confined to skin keratinocytes and oesophageal endothelial cells, and also to placenta cells (Wurfel J. et. al., Gene 2001, 262:35-41). WO01/23553 describes the use of a C4.4a inhibitor (e.g. an anti-C4.4a antibody) which in a cancer therapy is able to inhibit C4.4a expression or activity.

[0010] The precise function of C4.4a is unknown. In the course of wound healing, it is upregulated in migrating keratinocytes (Hansen L. et al., Biochem J. 2004, 380:845-857). It is thought that C4.4a plays a part in tumour cell invasion, presumably through interaction with the extracellular matrix (Rosel M. et al., Oncogene 1998, 17(15):1989-2002; Paret C. et al., British Journal of Cancer 2007, 97:1146-1156). Potential ligands are laminin 1 and 5, and also galectin 3 (Paret C., Int. J. Cancer 2005, 115:724-733).

[0011] Auristatin E (AE) and monomethylauristatin E (MMAE) are synthetic analogues of the dolastatins, a specific group of linear pseudopeptides which were originally isolated from marine sources and which have in some cases very potent cytotoxic activity with respect to tumour cells [for a review see e.g. G. R. Pettit, Prog. Chem. Org. Nat. Prod. 70, 1-79 (1997); G. R. Pettit et al., Anti-Cancer Drug Design 10, 529-544 (1995); G. R. Pettit et al., Anti-Cancer Drug Design 13, 243-277 (1998)].

##STR00001##

[0012] MMAE, however, possesses the disadvantage of a comparatively high systemic toxicity. For improving tumour selectivity, MMAE is used more particularly in conjunction with enzymatically cleavable valine-citrulline linkers in the ADC setting for more targeted tumour therapy [WO 2005/081711-A2; S. O. Doronina et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 17, 114-124 (2006)]. Following proteolytic cleavage, MMAE is released preferably intracellularly from corresponding ADCs.

[0013] When employed in the form of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), however, MMAE is not compatible with linking units (linkers) between antibody and drug that do not have an enzymatically cleavable predetermined break point [S. O. Doronina et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 17, 114-124 (2006)].

[0014] Monomethylauristatin F (MMAF) is an auristatin derivative having a C-terminal phenylalanine unit which exhibits only moderate antiproliferative activity in comparison to MMAE. This fact is very probably attributable to the free carboxyl group, whose polarity and charge adversely affect the capacity of this compound to access cells. In this connection, the methyl ester of MMAF (MMAF-OMe) has been described, as a neutral-charged prodrug derivative with cell access capability, which, in comparison to MMAF, has an in vitro cytotoxicity for various carcinoma cell lines that is increased by a number of orders of magnitude [S. O. Doronina et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 17, 114-124 (2006)]. It can be assumed that this effect is brought about by MMAF itself, which, following uptake of the prodrug into the cells, is rapidly released by intracellular ester hydrolysis.

##STR00002##

[0015] However, drug compounds based on simple ester derivatives are generally subject to the risk of chemical instability on account of non-specific ester hydrolysis, independent of the intended site of action, by means, for example, of esterases that are present in the blood plasma; this non-specific hydrolysis may significantly restrict the usefulness of such compounds in therapy.

[0016] Monomethylauristatin F (MMAF) and also various ester derivatives and amide derivatives thereof have been disclosed in WO 2005/081711-A2. Further auristatin analogues with a C-terminal, amidically substituted phenylalanine unit are described in WO 01/18032-A2. WO 02/088172-A2 and WO 2007/008603-A1 claim MMAF analogues which relate to side-chain modifications of the phenylalanine, while WO 2007/008848-A2 claims those in which the carboxyl group of the phenylalanine has been modified. Auristatin conjugates linked via the C-terminus have been recently described in WO 2009/117531-A1 [see also S. O. Doronina et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 19, 1960-1963 (2008)].

[0017] Furthermore, auristatin derivatives such as MMAE and MMAF are also substrates for transporter proteins which are expressed by many tumour cells, and this may lead to the development of resistance to these drugs.

[0018] The problem addressed with the present invention was that of providing new binder-drug conjugates (ADCs) which, through combination of new N,N-dialkylauristatin derivatives with innovative, suitable linkers and binder, exhibit a very attractive activity profile, such as, for example, in terms of their specific tumour effect and/or the reduced potential of the metabolites formed intracellularly to be a substrate with respect to transporter proteins, and which are therefore suitable for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of hyperproliferative and/or angiogenic diseases, such as cancer diseases, for example.

[0019] The present invention provides binder-drug conjugates of the general formula (Ia)

[0066] Compounds of the invention are the compounds of the formula (Ia) and (I) and their salts, solvates and solvates of the salts, the compounds of the formulae identified below and encompassed by formula (Ia) and (I), and their salts, solvates and solvates of the salts, and also the compounds identified below as working examples and encompassed by formula (Ia) and (I), and their salts, solvates and solvates of the salts, to the extent that the compounds identified below and encompassed by formula (Ia) and (I) are not already salts, solvates and solvates of the salts.

[0067] Depending on their structure, the compounds of the invention may exist in different stereoisomeric forms, i.e. in the form of configurational isomers or else where appropriate as conformational isomers (enantiomers and/or diastereoisomers, including those in the case of atropisomers). The present invention therefore encompasses the enantiomers and diastereomers and their respective mixtures. The stereoisomerically homogeneous constituents can be isolated from such mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereomers in a known way; for this purpose it is preferred to use chromatographic processes, more particularly HPLC chromatography on an achiral or chiral phase.

[0068] Where the compounds of the invention can occur in tautomeric forms, the present invention encompasses all of the tautomeric forms.

[0069] The present invention also encompasses all suitable isotopic variants of the compounds of the invention. An isotopic variant of a compound of the invention is understood here to mean a compound in which at least one atom within the compound of the invention has been exchanged for another atom of the same atomic number but with a different atomic mass from the atomic mass which occurs commonly or predominantly in nature. Examples of isotopes which can be incorporated into an inventive compound are those of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine such as .sup.2H (deuterium), .sup.3H (tritium), .sup.13C, .sup.14C, .sup.15N, .sup.17O, .sup.18O, .sup.32P, .sup.33P, .sup.33S, .sup.34S, .sup.35S, .sup.36S, .sup.18F, .sup.36Cl, .sup.82Br, .sup.123I, .sup.124I, .sup.129I, and .sup.131I. Particular isotope variants of a compound of the invention, such as more particularly those in which one or more radioactive isotopes are incorporated, may be of benefit, for example, for investigating the mechanism of action or the distribution of drug in the body; owing to the comparative ease of preparation and detectability, compounds labelled with .sup.3H or .sup.14C isotopes are especially suitable for these purposes. Furthermore, the incorporation of isotopes, such as of deuterium, for example, may lead to certain therapeutic advantages as a consequence of greater metabolic stability of the compound, such as an extension to the half-life in the body or a reduction in the active dose required, for example; such modifications of the compounds of the invention may therefore, where appropriate, also constitute a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Isotopic variants of the compounds of the invention can be prepared by the processes known to the skilled person, as for example in accordance with the methods described later on below and the procedures reproduced in the working examples, by using corresponding isotopic modifications of the respective reagents and/or starting compounds.

Hydrates are one specific form of solvates, in which the coordination takes place with water. Preferred solvates in the context of the present invention are hydrates.

[0074] Furthermore, the present invention also encompasses prodrugs of the compounds of the invention. The term "prodrugs" here identifies compounds which may themselves be biologically active or inactive but are converted during their residence in the body into compounds of the invention (by metabolism or hydrolysis, for example).

[0082] In the context of the present invention, all radicals which occur multiply have their definition independently of one another. If radicals in the compounds of the invention are substituted, the radicals, unless otherwise specified, may be substituted one or more times. Substitution by one or by two identical or different substituent(s) is preferred. Particularly preferred is substitution by one substituent.

[0083] In the context of the present invention the terms used, unless otherwise specified, have the following definitions:

[0084] The term "linker" is understood in the broadest sense as a chemical unit which comprises a covalent bond or a series of atoms that links a binder covalently to a drug. The term "linker" is understood preferably as a series of atoms in the sense of the present invention that links a binder covalently to a drug. Furthermore, linkers may be represented, for example, by divalent chemical units, such as alkyldiyls, aryldiyls, heteroaryldiyls, heterocyclyldiyls, dicarbonyl acid esters, dicarbonyl acid amides.

[0085] The term "binder" is understood in the broadest sense as a molecule which binds to a target molecule which is present on a particular target cell population to be addressed with the binder-drug conjugate. The term "binder" should be understood in its broadest interpretation and encompasses, for example, lectins, proteins which are able to bind particular sugar chains, or phospholipid-binding proteins. Such binders comprise, for example, high molecular mass proteins (binding proteins), polypeptides or peptides (binding peptides), non-peptidic (e.g. aptamers (U.S. Pat. No. 5,270,163) (review article by Keefe A D., et al., Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2010; 9:537-550), or vitamins) and all other cell-binding molecules or substances. Binding proteins are, for example, antibodies and antibody fragments or antibody mimetics such as, for example, affibodies, adnectins, anticalins, DARPins, avimers, nanobodies (review articles by Gebauer M. et al., Curr. Opinion in Chem. Biol. 2009; 13:245-255; Nuttall S. D. et al., Curr. Opinion in Pharmacology 2008; 8:608-617). Binding peptides are, for example, ligands of a ligand-receptor pair, such as VEGF in the ligand-receptor pair VEGF/KDR, such as transferrin of the ligand-receptor pair transferrin/transferrin receptor, or cytokines/cytokine receptor, such as TNFalpha in the ligand receptor pair TNFalpha/TNFalpha receptor.

[0086] Preferred binders in accordance with the invention are (more particularly human, monoclonal) antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments which bind to C4.4a. In the case of anti-C4.4a antibodies, n, in other words the number of toxophore molecules per antibody molecule, is preferably in the range from 1 to 10, more preferably 2 to 8.

[0087] A "target molecule" is understood in the broadest sense to be a molecule which is present in the target cell population, and may be a protein (e.g. a receptor of a growth factor) or a non-peptidic molecule (e.g. a sugar or phospholipid). Preferably it is a receptor or an antigen.

[0088] The term "extracellular" target molecule describes a target molecule which is attached to the cell and which is located on the outside of a cell or the part of a target molecule which is located on the outside of a cell, i.e. a binder may bind to an intact cell at its extracellular target molecule. An extracellular target molecule may be anchored in the cell membrane or may be part of the cell membrane. The skilled person knows of methods for identifying extracellular target molecules. For proteins this may be done via determination of the transmembrane domain(s) and the orientation of the protein in the membrane. This data is generally recorded in protein databases (e.g. SwissProt).

[0089] The term "cancer target molecule" describes a target molecule which is multiply present on one or more cancer cell types in comparison to non-cancer cells of the same tissue type. The cancer target molecule is preferably present selectively on one or more cancer cell types in comparison to non-cancer cells of the same tissue type, with "selectively" describing an at least twofold accumulation on cancer cells in comparison to non-cancer cells of the same tissue type (a "selective cancer target molecule"). The use of cancer target molecules allows selective therapy of cancer cells with the conjugates of the invention.

[0090] The binder may be linked via a bond to the linker. Known from the literature are various possibilities of covalent coupling (conjugation) of organic molecules to antibody. The linking of the binder may take place by means of a heteroatom of the binder. Inventive heteroatoms of the binder that may be used for linking are sulphur (in one embodiment via a sulphhydryl group of the binder), oxygen (in accordance with the invention by means of a carboxyl or hydroxy group of the binder) and nitrogen (in one embodiment via a primary or secondary amine group or amide group of the binder). Preferred in accordance with the invention is the conjugation of the toxophores to the antibody via one or more sulphur atoms of cysteine residues of the antibody and/or via one or more NH groups of lysine residues of the antibody. These heteroatoms may be present in the natural binder or may be introduced by means of methods of chemistry or molecular biology. In accordance with the invention, the linking of the binder to the toxophore has little influence over the binding activity of the binder to the target molecule. In a preferred embodiment the linking has no influence on the binding activity of the binder to the target molecule.

[0091] The term "antibody" is understood in accordance with the present invention in its broadest sense and encompasses immunoglobulin molecules, examples being intact or modified monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies or multispecific antibodies (e.g. bispecific antibodies). An immunoglobulin molecule preferably comprises a molecule having four polypeptide chains, two heavy chains (H chains) and two light chains (L chains), which are linked typically by disulphide bridges. Each heavy chain comprises a variable domain of the heavy chain (abbreviated to VH) and a constant domain of the heavy chain. The constant domain of the heavy chain may encompass, for example, three domains CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain comprises a variable domain (abbreviated to VL) and a constant domain. The constant domain of the light chain comprises one domain (abbreviated to CL). The VH and VL domains may be further subdivided into regions having hypervariability, also called complementarity-determining regions (abbreviated to CDR), and regions having a low sequence variability ("framework region", abbreviated to FR). Each VH and VL region is typically composed of three CDRs and up to four FRs. For example, in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. An antibody may be obtained from any species suitable for the antibody, such as, for example, rabbit, lama, camel, mouse or rat. In one embodiment the antibody is of human or murine origin. An antibody may for example be human, humanized or chimeric.

[0092] The term "monoclonal" antibody identifies antibodies which have been obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e. individual antibodies of the population are identical except for naturally occurring mutations which may occur in small numbers. Monoclonal antibodies recognize a single antigenic binding site with a high specificity. The term "monoclonal antibody" does not refer to a particular production method.

[0093] The term "intact" antibody refers to antibodies which comprise not only an antigen-binding domain but also the constant domain of the light and heavy chain. The constant domain may be a naturally occurring domain, or a variant thereof in which one or more amino acid positions have been altered.

[0094] The term "modified intact" antibody refers to intact antibodies which have been fused with another polypeptide or protein, not originating from an antibody, via the amino terminus or carboxyl terminus thereof, by means of a covalent bond (e.g. a peptide linkage). Furthermore, antibodies may be modified by introducing reactive cysteines at defined locations, in order to facilitate coupling to a toxophore (see Junutula et al. Nat. Biotechnol. 2008 August; 26(8):925-32).

[0095] The term "human" antibody identifies antibodies which can be obtained from a human being or are synthetic human antibodies. A "synthetic" human antibody is an antibody which in parts or as a whole is obtainable from synthetic sequences in silico which are based on the analysis of human antibody sequences. A human antibody may be encoded, for example, by a nucleic acid which has been isolated from a library of antibody sequences which are of human origin. One example of such antibodies can be found in Soderlind et al., Nature Biotech. 2000, 18:853-856.

[0096] The term "humanized" or "chimeric" antibody describes antibodies which consist of a non-human and of a human sequence component. In these antibodies, part of the sequences of the human immunoglobulin (recipient) is replaced by sequence components of a non-human immunoglobulin (donor). In many cases the donor is a murine immunoglobulin. With humanized antibodies, amino acids of the CDR in the recipient are replaced by amino acids of the donor. In some cases, amino acids of the framework as well are replaced by corresponding amino acids of the donor. In some cases the humanized antibody contains amino acids which were present neither in the recipient nor in the donor and which were inserted during the optimization of the antibody. In the case of chimeric antibodies, for example, the variable domains of the donor immunoglobulin, or else the entire Fab fraction, in other words VL-CL and VH+CH1, are fused with the constant regions of a human antibody.

[0097] The term complementarity-determining region (CDR) as used here refers to those amino acids in a variable antibody domain that are necessary for binding to the antigen. Every variable region typically has three CDR regions, identified as CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3. Each CDR region may comprise amino acids according to the definition of Kabat and/or amino acids of a hypervariable loop, defined according to Chotia. The definition according to Kabat encompasses, for example, the region of approximately amino acid position 24-34 (CDR1), 50-56 (CDR2) and 89-97 (CDR3) of the variable light chain and 31-35 (CDR1), 50-65 (CDR2) and 95-102 (CDR3) of the variable heavy chain (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immulological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)). The definition according to Chotia encompasses, for example, the region of approximately amino acid position 26-32 (CDR1), 50-52 (CDR2) and 91-96 (CDR3) of the variable light chain and 26-32 (CDR1), 53-55 (CDR2) and 96-101 (CDR3) of the variable heavy chain Chothia and Lesk; J Mol Biol 196: 901-917 (1987)). In some cases a CDR may comprise amino acids from one CDR region as defined by Kabat and Chotia.

[0098] Depending on the amino acid sequence of the constant domain of the heavy chain, antibodies may be divided into different classes. There are five main classes of intact antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM, and a number of them may be broken down into further subclasses (isotypes), e.g. IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2. The constant domains of the heavy chain that correspond to the different classes are identified as [alpha/.alpha.], [delta/.delta.], [epsilon/.epsilon.], [gamma/.gamma.] and [mu/.mu.]. Both the three-dimensional structure and the subunit structure of antibodies are known.

[0099] The term "functional fragment" or "antigen-binding antibody fragments" of a antibody/immunoglobulin is defined as a fragment of an antibody/immunoglobulin (e.g. the variable domains of an IgG) which further encompasses the antigen binding domains of the antibody/immunoglobulin. The "antigen binding domain" of an antibody typically encompasses one or more hypervariable regions of an antibody, e.g. the CDR1, CDR2 and/or CDR3 region. However, the "framework" or "scaffold" region of an antibody may also play a part with regard to the binding of the antibody to the antigen. The framework region forms the scaffold for the CDRs. The antigen-binding domain preferably encompasses at least amino acids 4 to 103 of the variable light chain and amino acid 5 to 109 of the variable heavy chain, more preferably amino acid 3 to 107 of the variable light chain and 4 to 111 of the variable heavy chain, particular preference being given to the complete variable light and heavy chains, i.e. amino acid 1-109 of the VL and 1 to 113 of the VH (numbering according to WO97/08320).

[0100] "Functional fragments" or "antigen-binding antibody fragments" of the invention encompass, non-conclusively, Fab, Fab', F(ab').sub.2 and Fv fragments, diabodies, Single Domain Antibodies (DAbs), linear antibodies, individual chains of antibodies (single-chain Fv, abbreviated to ScFv); and multispecific antibodies, such as bi and tri-specific antibodies, for example, formed from antibody fragments C. A. K Borrebaeck, editor (1995) Antibody Engineering (Breakthroughs in Molecular Biology), Oxford University Press; R. Kontermann & S. Duebel, editors (2001) Antibody Engineering (Springer Laboratory Manual), Springer Verlag). Antibodies other than "multispecific" or "multifunctional" antibodies are those having identical binding sites. Multispecific antibodies may be specific for different epitopes of an antigen or may be specific for epitopes of more than one antigen (see, for example WO93/17715; WO 92/08802; WO 91/00360; WO 92/05793; Tutt, et al., 1991, J. Immunol. 147:60 69; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,474,893; 4,714,681; 4,925,648; 5,573,920; 5,601,819; or Kostelny et al., 1992, J. Immunol. 148: 1547 1553). An F(ab').sub.2 or Fab molecule may be constructed such that the number of intermolecular disulphide interactions occurring between the Ch1 and the CL domains can be reduced or else completely prevented.

[0101] "Functional fragments" or "antigen-binding antibody fragments" may be fused with another polypeptide or protein, not originating from an antibody, via the amino terminus or carboxyl terminus thereof, by means of a covalent bond (e.g. a peptide linkage). Furthermore, antibodies and antigen-binding fragments may be modified by introducing reactive cysteines at defined locations, in order to facilitate coupling to a toxophore (see Junutula et al. Nat. Biotechnol. 2008 August; 26(8):925-32).

[0102] Polyclonal antibodies can be prepared by methods known to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Monoclonal antibodies may be prepared by methods known to a person of ordinary skill in the art (Kohler and Milstein, Nature, 256, 495-497, 1975). Human and humanized monoclonal antibodies may be prepared by methods known to a person of ordinary skill in the art (Olsson et al., Meth Enzymol. 92, 3-16 or Cabilly et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567 or Boss et al U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,397).

[0103] A person of ordinary skill in the art is aware of diverse methods for preparing human antibodies and fragments thereof, such as, for example, by means of transgenic mice (N Lonberg and D Huszar, Int Rev Immunol. 1995; 13(1):65-93) or Phage Display Technologies (Clackson et al., Nature. 1991 Aug. 15; 352(6336):624-8). Antibodies of the invention may be obtained from recombinant antibody libraries consisting for example of the amino acid sequences of a multiplicity of antibodies compiled from a large number of healthy volunteers. Antibodies may also be produced by means of known recombinant DNA technologies. The nucleic acid sequence of an antibody can be obtained by routine sequencing or is available from publically accessible databases.

[0104] An "isolated" antibody or binder has been purified to remove other constituents of the cell. Contaminating constituents of a cell which may interfere with a diagnostic or therapeutic use are, for example, enzymes, hormones, or other peptidic or non-peptidic constituents of the cell. A preferred antibody or binder is one which has been purified to an extent of more than 95%, relative to the antibody or binder (determined for example by Lowry method, UV-Vis spectroscopy or by SDS capillary gel electrophoresis), the purification thereof being such that it is possible to determine at least 15 amino acids of the amino terminus or of an internal amino acid sequence, or which has been purified to homogeneity, the homogeneity being determined by SDS-PAGE under reducing or non-reducing conditions (detection may be determined by means of Coomassie Blau staining or preferably by silver coloration). However, an antibody is normally prepared by one or more purification steps.

[0105] The term "specific binding" or "binds specifically" refers to an antibody or binder which binds to a predetermined antigen/target molecule. Specific binding of an antibody or binder typically describes an antibody or binder having an affinity of at least 10.sup.-7 M (as Kd value; i.e. preferably those with smaller Kd values than 10.sup.-7 M), with the antibody or binder having an at least two times higher affinity for the predetermined antigen/target molecule than for a non-specific antigen/target molecule (e.g. bovine serum albumin, or casein) which is not the predetermined antigen/target molecule or a closely related antigen/target molecule.

[0106] Antibodies which are specific against a cancer cell antigen can be prepared by a person of ordinary skill in the art by means of methods with which he or she is familiar (such as recombinant expression, for example) or may be acquired commercially (as for example from Merck KGaA, Germany). Examples of known commercially available antibodies in cancer therapy are Erbitux.RTM. (cetuximab, Merck KGaA), Avastin.RTM. (bevacizumab, Roche) and Herceptin.RTM. (trastuzumab, Genentech). Trastuzumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody of the IgG1 kappa type which in a cell-based assay (Kd=5 nM) binds the extracellular domains of the human epidermal growth receptor with high affinity. The antibody is produced recombinantly in CHO cells.

[2818] The reactions (IV)+(V).fwdarw.(VI) and (IV)+(VIII).fwdarw.(IX) take place in the solvents which are customary for a reductive amination and are inert under the reaction conditions, optionally in the presence of an acid and/or of a water-removing agent as catalyst. Such solvents include, for example, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol or tert-butanol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether, or other solvents such as dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, N,N-dimethylformamide or else water. It is also possible to use mixtures of these solvents. As solvent it is preferred to use a 1,4-dioxane/water mixture, with addition of acetic acid or dilute hydrochloric acid as catalyst.

[2819] Reducing agents suitable for this reaction are, in particular, complex borohydrides, such as, for example, sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium triacetoxyborohydride, tetra-n-butylammonium borohydride or borane-pyridine complex. It is preferred to use sodium cyanoborohydride or borane-pyridine complex.

[2820] The reactions (IV)+(V).fwdarw.(VI) and (IV)+(VIII).fwdarw.(IX) take place in general in a temperature range from 0.degree. C. to +120.degree. C., preferably at +50.degree. C. to +100.degree. C. The reactions may be carried out under atmospheric, increased or reduced pressure (e.g. from 0.5 to 5 bar); it is usual to operate at atmospheric pressure.

[2821] The above-described coupling reactions (IX)+(X).fwdarw.(II-C), (XII-A) or (XII-B)+(X).fwdarw.(II-D-A) or (II-D-B), (IX)+(XIII).fwdarw.(XIV), (IX)+(XV).fwdarw.(XVI) and (XXII)+(XXIII).fwdarw.(II-D) (amide formation from amine component and carboxylic acid component respectively) are carried out by standard methods of peptide chemistry [see e.g. M. Bodanszky, Principles of Peptide Synthesis, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1993; M. Bodanszky and A. Bodanszky, The Practice of Peptide Synthesis, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1984; H.-D. Jakubke and H. Jeschkeit, Aminosauren, Peptide, Proteine, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, 1982].

[2822] Examples of inert solvents for these coupling reactions are ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether, hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane or petroleum fractions, halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, tetrachloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethylene or chlorobenzene, or dipolar-aprotic solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, pyridine, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), N,N'-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU) or N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP). It is also possible to use mixtures of such solvents. Preference is given to using N,N-dimethylformamide.

[2823] Examples of suitable activating/condensing agents for these couplings include carbodiimides such as N,N'-diethyl-, N,N'-dipropyl-, N,N'-diisopropyl-, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or N-(3-dimethylaminoisopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), phosgene derivatives such as N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) or isobutyl chloroformate, 1,2-oxazolium compounds such as 2-ethyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxazolium 3-sulphate or 2-tert-butyl-5-methylisoxazolium perchlorate, acylamino compounds such as 2-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline, phosphorus compounds such as propanephosphonic anhydride, diethyl cyanophosphonate, bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)phosphoryl chloride, benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate or benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(pyrrolidino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP), or uronium compounds such as O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU), O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), 2-(2-oxo-1-(2H)-pyridyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TPTU), O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) or O-(1H-6-chlorobenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium-tetrafluorobo- rate (TCTU), optionally in combination with further auxiliaries such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) or N-hydroxysuccinimide (HOSu), and also, as bases, alkali metal carbonates, e.g. sodium or potassium carbonate, or tertiary amine bases such as triethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N-methylpiperidine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, pyridine or 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine.

[2824] In the context of the present invention, as activating/condensing agents for such coupling reactions, it is preferred to use N-(3-dimethylaminoisopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) in combination with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine, or O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) likewise in conjunction with N,N-diisopropylethylamine.

[2825] The coupling reactions (IX)+(X).fwdarw.(II-C), (XII-A) or (XII-B)+(X).fwdarw.(II-D-A) or (II-D-B), (IX)+(XIII).fwdarw.(XIV), (IX)+(XV).fwdarw.(XVI) and (XXII)+(XXIII).fwdarw.(II-D) are carried out in general in a temperature range from -20.degree. C. to +60.degree. C., preferably at 0.degree. C. to +40.degree. C. The reactions may take place under atmospheric, at increased or at reduced pressure (e.g. from 0.5 to 5 bar); it is usual to operate under atmospheric pressure.

[2826] The esterifications (IX)+(XVIII).fwdarw.(XII) and (IX)+(XI-A) or (XI-B).fwdarw.(XII-A) or (XI-B), (IX)+(XXIV).fwdarw.(XXV) and also (IX)+(XXI).fwdarw.(XXII) take place in analogy to the above-described amide coupling reactions. These reactions take place preferably in dichloromethane, using N-(3-dimethylaminoisopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 4-dimethylamino-pyridine at a temperature of +50.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. under atmospheric pressure.

[2827] The functional groups optionally present in the compounds--such as amino, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in particular--may also be present in a temporarily protected form during the above-described process steps, if useful or necessary. In these cases, such protective groups are introduced and removed in accordance with customary methods known from peptide chemistry [see, for example, T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley, New York, 1999; M. Bodanszky and A. Bodanszky, The Practice of Peptide Synthesis, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1984]. Where two or more protected groups are present, they can be liberated again optionally simultaneously in a one-pot reaction, or else liberated again in separate reaction steps.

[2828] As an amino-protective group PG.sup.1 it is preferred to use tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) or (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl (Fmoc); for a hydroxyl or carboxyl function it is preferred to use tert-butyl or benzyl as protective group PG.sup.2. The elimination of a tert-butyl or tert-butoxycarbonyl group is typically accomplished by treatment with a strong acid, such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or trifluoroacetic acid, in an inert solvent such as diethyl ether, 1,4-dioxane, dichloromethane or acetic acid; this reaction may optionally also be carried out without addition of an inert solvent. In the case of benzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl as protective group, this group is removed preferably by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst, such as palladium on activated carbon, for example. The (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl group is generally eliminated using a secondary amine base such as diethylamine or piperidine.

[2829] The reaction (VI).fwdarw.(II-A) takes place in a solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions, such as, for example, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol or tert-butanol, or dipolar-aprotic solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, pyridine, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), N,N'-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU) or N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) or water.

[2830] Suitable bases for the reaction (VI).fwdarw.(II-A) are, for example, alkali metal carbonates such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate or lithium carbonate, alkali metal hydrogencarbonates such as sodium or potassium hydrogencarbonate or alkali metal alkoxides such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide or potassium tert-butoxide. It is preferred to use sodium hydrogencarbonate.

[2831] The reaction (VI).fwdarw.(II-A) takes place in a temperature range from 0.degree. C. to +50.degree. C., preferably at +10.degree. C. to +30.degree. C.

[2832] The reaction (VI)+(VII).fwdarw.(II-B) takes place in a solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions, such as, for example, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol or tert-butanol, or dipolar-aprotic solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, pyridine, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), N,N'-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU) or N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) or water. It is also possible to use mixtures of such solvents. Preference is given to using DMF.

[2833] Suitable bases for the reaction (VI)+(VII).fwdarw.(II-B) are, for example, tertiary amine bases such as triethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N-methylpiperidine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, pyridine or 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine. Preference is given to using N,N-diisopropylethylamine.

[2834] The reaction (VI)+(VII).fwdarw.(II-B) takes place in a temperature range from 0.degree. C. to +50.degree. C., preferably at +10.degree. C. to +30.degree. C. The reaction may take place under atmospheric, under elevated or under reduced pressure (e.g. from 0.5 to 5 bar); it is usual to operate under atmospheric pressure.

[2835] The reactions (IX).fwdarw.(III-A), (XIV).fwdarw.(III-B) and (XVI).fwdarw.(III-C) and also (VI)+(XVII).fwdarw.(III-D), (XIX)+(XX).fwdarw.(III-E) and (XXV)+(XX).fwdarw.(III-F) take place in a solvent which is inert under the reaction conditions. Examples of suitable solvents are ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tert-butyl methyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether, hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane or petroleum fractions, halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, tetrachloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethylene or chlorobenzene, or dipolar-aprotic solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, pyridine, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), N,N'-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU) or N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP).

[2836] Suitable bases for these reactions are, for example, tertiary amines such as triethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N-methylpiperidine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, pyridine or 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine. Preference is given to using N,N-diisopropylethylamine, optionally with addition of 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine.

[2837] The reactions (IX).fwdarw.(III-A), (XIV).fwdarw.(III-B) and (XVI).fwdarw.(III-C) and also (VI)+(XVII).fwdarw.(III-D) and (XIX)+(XX).fwdarw.(III-E) take place in a temperature range from 0.degree.

[2858] In one preferred subject of the invention the cancer target molecule is selected from the group consisting of the cancer target molecules (1)-(51). In one preferred subject of the invention the cancer target molecule is selected from the group consisting of the cancer target molecules (1)-(53).

[2859] In another particularly preferred subject of the invention the binder binds to an extracellular cancer target molecule which is selected from the group consisting of the cancer target molecules (1)-(51).

[2860] In another particularly preferred subject of the invention the binder binds specifically to an extracellular cancer target molecule which is selected from the group consisting of the cancer target molecules (1)-(51).

[2861] In one particularly preferred subject of the invention the cancer target molecule is selected from the group consisting of EGF receptor (NP.sub.--005219.2), mesothelin (Q13421-3), C4.4a (NP.sub.--055215.2) and carboanhydrase IX (CA IX; NP.sub.--001207.2), more particularly C4.4a (NP.sub.--055215.2).

[2862] In another particularly preferred subject of the invention the binder binds to an extracellular cancer target molecule which is selected from the group consisting of EGF receptor (NP.sub.--005219.2), mesothelin (Q13421-3), C4.4a (NP.sub.--055215.2) and carboanhydrase IX (CA IX; Q16790)), more particularly C4.4a (NP.sub.--055215.2).

[2863] In another particularly preferred subject of the invention the binder binds specifically to an extracellular cancer target molecule which is selected from the group consisting of EGF receptor (NP.sub.--005219.2), mesothelin (Q13421-3), C4.4a (NP.sub.--055215.2) and carboanhydrase IX (CA IX; Q16790)), more particularly C4.4a (NP.sub.--055215.2).

[2864] In one preferred embodiment the binder, after binding to its extracellular target molecule on the target cell, is internalized by the target cell as a result of the binding. The effect of this is that the binder-drug conjugate, which may be an immunoconjugate or an ADC, is taken up by the target cell.

[2865] In one embodiment the binder is a binding protein. In one preferred embodiment the binder is an antibody, an antigen-binding antibody fragment, a multispecific antibody or an antibody mimetic.

[2866] Preferred antibody mimetics are affibodies, adnectins, anticalins, DARPins, avimers, or nanobodies. Preferred multispecific antibodies are bispecific and trispecific antibodies.

[2867] In one preferred embodiment the binder is an antibody or an antigen-binding antibody fragment, more preferably an isolated antibody or an isolated antigen-binding antibody fragment.

[2868] Preferred antigen-binding antibody fragments are Fab, Fab', F(ab').sub.2 and Fv fragments, diabodies, DAbs, linear antibodies and scFv. Particularly preferred are Fab, diabodies and scFv.

[2869] In one particularly preferred embodiment the binder is an antibody. Particularly preferred are monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments thereof. Further particularly preferred are human, humanized or chimeric antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments thereof.

[2870] Antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments which bind cancer target molecules may be prepared by a person of ordinary skill in the art using known processes, such as, for example, chemical synthesis or recombinant expression. Binders for cancer target molecules may be acquired commercially or may be prepared by a person of ordinary skill in the art using known processes, such as, for example, chemical synthesis or recombinant expression. Further processes for preparing antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments are described in WO 2007/070538 (see page 22 "Antibodies"). The skilled person knows how processes such as phage display libraries (e.g. Morphosys HuCAL Gold) can be compiled and used for discovering antibodies or antigen-binding antibody fragments (see WO 2007/070538, page 24 ff and Example 1 on page 70, Example 2 on page 72). Further processes for preparing antibodies that use DNA libraries from B-cells are described for example on page 26 (WO 2007/070538). Processes for humanizing antibodies are described on page 30-32 of WO2007070538 and in detail in Queen, et al., Pros. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:10029-10033, 1989 or in WO 90/0786. Furthermore, processes for the recombinant expression of proteins in general and of antibodies in particular are known to the skilled person (see, for example, in Berger and Kimmel (Guide to Molecular Cloning Techniques, Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 152, Academic Press, Inc.); Sambrook, et al., (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, (Second Edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; 1989) Vol. 1-3); Current Protocols in Molecular Biolony, (F. M. Ausabel et al. [Eds.], Current Protocols, Green Publishing Associates, Inc./John Wiley & Sons, Inc.); Harlow et al., (Monoclonal Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (19881, Paul [Ed.]); Fundamental Immunology, (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (1998)); and Harlow, et al., (Using Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (1998)). The skilled person knows the corresponding vectors, promoters and signal peptides which are necessary for the expression of a protein/antibody. Commonplace processes are also described in WO 2007/070538 on pages 41-45. Processes for preparing an IgG1 antibody are described for example in WO 2007/070538 in Example 6 on page 74 ff. Processes which allow the determination of the internalization of an antibody after binding to its antigen are known to the skilled person and are described for example in WO 2007/070538 on page 80. The skilled person is able to use the processes described in WO 2007/070538 that have been used for preparing carboanhydrase IX (Mn) antibodies in analogy for the preparation of antibodies with different target molecule specificity.

[2874] Panitumumab (INN number 8499) (Drug Bank Accession Number DB01269) is a recombinant monoclonal human IgG2 antibody which binds specifically to the human EGF receptor 1 and is sold by Abgenix/Amgen. Panitumumab originates from the immunization of transgenic mice (XenoMouse). These mice are capable of producing human immunoglobulin (light and heavy chains). A specific B-cell clone was selected which produces antibodies against EGFR, and this clone was immortalized with CHO cells (Chinese hamster ovary cells). These cells are now used for the production of a 100% human antibody. Panitumumab is indicated for the treatment of EGFR-expressing, metastasizing colorectal carcinoma, which is resistant to chemotherapeutic treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan. It has an affinity of 10-11M.

anti-carboanhydrase IX antibody 3ee9-IgG1:

[2908] A further aspect of the present invention is the provision of the anti-carboanhydrase IX antibody 3ee9-IgG1.

C4.4a Antibodies:

[2909] Binders particularly preferred in accordance with the invention are anti-C4.4a antibodies, more particularly human or humanized anti-C4.4a antibodies. The antibodies preferably have an affinity of at least 10.sup.-7 M (as Kd value; in other words preferably those with smaller Kd values than 10.sup.-7 M), preferably of at least 10.sup.-8 M, more preferably in the range from 10.sup.-9 M to 10.sup.-11 M. The Kd values may be determined, for example, by means of surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy.

[2910] The antibody-drug conjugates of the invention likewise exhibit affinities in these ranges. The affinity is preferably not substantially affected by the conjugation of the drugs (in general, the affinity is reduced by less than one order of magnitude, in other words, for example, at most from 10.sup.-8 M to 10.sup.-7 M).

[2911] The antibodies used in accordance with the invention are also notable preferably for a high selectivity. A high selectivity exists when the antibody of the invention exhibits an affinity for the target protein which is better by a factor of at least 2, preferably by a factor of 5 or more preferably by a factor of 10, than for an independent other antigen, e.g. human serum albumin (the affinity may be determined, for example, by means of surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy).

[2912] Furthermore, the antibodies of the invention that are used are preferably cross-reactive. In order to be able to facilitate and better interpret preclinical studies, for example toxicological or activity studies (e.g. in xenograft mice), it is advantageous if the antibody used in accordance with the invention not only binds the human target protein but also binds the species target protein in the species used for the studies. In one embodiment the antibody used in accordance with the invention, in addition to the human target protein, is cross-reactive to the target protein of at least one further species. For toxicological and activity studies it is preferred to use species of the families of rodents, dogs and non-human primates. Preferred rodent species are mouse and rat. Preferred non-human primates are rhesus monkeys, chimpanzees and long-tailed macaques.

[2913] In one embodiment the antibody used in accordance with the invention, in addition to the human target protein, is cross-reactive to the target protein of at least one further species selected from the group of species consisting of mouse, rat and long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis). Especially preferred are antibodies used in accordance with the invention which in addition to the human target protein are at least cross-reactive to the mouse target protein. Preference is given to cross-reactive antibodies whose affinity for the target protein of the further non-human species differs by a factor of not more than 50, more particularly by a factor of not more than ten, from the affinity for the human target protein.

The antibodies B01-1 to B01-12 were prepared from M31-B01 by means of affinity maturation and compete with M31-B01 for binding to C4.4a. The antibodies D02-1 to D02-13 were prepared from M20-D02-S-A by means of affinity maturation and compete with M20-D02-S-A for binding to C4.4a.

[2965] The compounds of the invention possess valuable pharmacological properties and can be used for the prevention and treatment of diseases in humans and animals.

[2966] The binder-drug conjugates (ADCs) of the invention, of the formula (Ia), exhibit a high and specific cytotoxic activity with regard to tumour cells, as may be shown on the basis of the assays set out in the present experimental section (C-1. to C-6.). This high and specific cytotoxic activity on the part of the binder-drug conjugates (ADCs) of the invention, of the formula (Ia), is achieved through the appropriate combination of the new N,N-dialkylauristatin derivative and binder with linkers which exhibit not only an enzymatically, hydrolytically or reductively cleavable predetermined break point, for the release of the toxophores, but also no such predetermined break point. More particularly, through the use of stable linkers which have no enzymatically, hydrolytically or reductively cleavable predetermined break point for the release of the toxophores, and which, following uptake of the ADCs into the tumour cell and following complete intracellular, enzymatic breakdown of the antibody, still remain wholly or partly intact, the activity is confined very specifically to the tumour cell. Compatibility between ADCs and stable linkers presupposes, among other things, that the metabolites formed intracellularly can be formed with sufficient efficacy, are able to reach their target and are able there to develop their anti-proliferative activity on the target with sufficient potency, without being carried out of the tumour cell again beforehand by transporter proteins. The metabolites formed intracellularly after the compounds of the formula (Ia) of the invention have been taken up exhibit a reduced potential as a substrate with respect to transporter proteins, thereby suppressing their redistribution into the systemic circulation and hence the triggering of potential side effects by the toxophore itself.

[2967] The compatibility of the ADCs with a stabile linker chemistry and with the target in question, in conjunction with metabolites which represent a substrate for transporter proteins to a relatively low degree, offers an enlarged therapeutic window.

[2968] More particularly, the binder-drug conjugates of the invention, of the formula (Ia), exhibit a high and specific cytotoxic activity with respect to tumour cells which express C4.4a. The activity with respect to tumour cells which do not express C4.4a is significantly weaker at the same time.

[2969] On the basis of this profile of properties, the compounds of the invention are therefore suitable to a particular degree for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases in humans and in mammals generally. The compounds are able on the one hand to inhibit, block, reduce or lower cell proliferation and cell division, and on the other hand to increase apoptosis.

[2970] The hyperproliferative diseases for the treatment of which the compounds of the invention can be employed include in particular the group of cancer and tumour diseases. In the context of the present invention, these are understood as meaning, in particular, the following diseases, but without being limited to them: mammary carcinomas and mammary tumours (ductal and lobular forms, also in situ), tumours of the respiratory tract (parvicellular and non-parvicellular carcinoma, bronchial carcinoma), cerebral tumours (e.g. of the brain stem and of the hypothalamus, astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma and neuro-ectodermal and pineal tumours), tumours of the digestive organs (oesophagus, stomach, gall bladder, small intestine, large intestine, rectum), liver tumours (including hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocellular carcinoma and mixed hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinoma), tumours of the head and neck region (larynx, hypopharynx, nasopharynx, oropharynx, lips and oral cavity), skin tumours (squamous epithelial carcinoma, Kaposi sarcoma, malignant melanoma, Merkel cell skin cancer and non-melanomatous skin cancer), tumours of soft tissue (including soft tissue sarcomas, osteosarcomas, malignant fibrous histiocytomas, lymphosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas), tumours of the eyes (including intraocular melanoma and retinoblastoma), tumours of the endocrine and exocrine glands (e.g. thyroid and parathyroid glands, pancreas and salivary gland), tumours of the urinary tract (tumours of the bladder, penis, kidney, renal pelvis and ureter) and tumours of the reproductive organs (carcinomas of the endometrium, cervix, ovary, vagina, vulva and uterus in women and carcinomas of the prostate and testicles in men). These also include proliferative blood diseases in solid form and as circulating blood cells, such as lymphomas, leukaemias and myeloproliferative diseases, e.g. acute myeloid, acute lymphoblastic, chronic lymphocytic, chronic myelogenic and hair cell leukaemia, and also AIDS-correlated lymphomas, Hodgkin's lymphomas, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, Burkitt's lymphomas and lymphomas in the central nervous system.

[2975] These well-described diseases in humans can also occur with a comparable aetiology in other mammals and can be treated there with the compounds of the present invention.

[2976] In the context of this invention the term "treatment" or "treat" is used in the conventional sense and means attending to, caring for and nursing a patient with the aim of combating, reducing, attenuating or alleviating an illness or health abnormality and improving the living conditions impaired by this illness, such as, for example, with a cancer disease.

[2977] The present invention furthermore provides the use of the compounds of the invention for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases, in particular the abovementioned diseases.

[2978] The present invention furthermore provides the use of the compounds of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases, in particular the abovementioned diseases.

[2979] The present invention furthermore provides the use of the compounds of the invention in a method for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases, in particular the abovementioned diseases.

[2980] The present invention furthermore provides a method for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases, in particular the abovementioned diseases, using an effective amount of at least one of the compounds of the invention.

[2981] The anti-C4.4a binder-drug conjugate of the invention is used preferably for treating cancer in a patient, where the cancer cells of the patient that are to be treated have C4.4a expression. Treatment is administered more preferably to patients whose C4.4a expression in cancer cells is higher than in healthy cells.

[2982] One method of identifying patients who respond advantageously to an anti-C4.4a binder-drug conjugate for the treatment of cancer involves determining the C4.4a expression in cancer cells of the patient. In one embodiment the C4.4a expression is determined by C4.4a gene expression analysis. The skilled person knows of methods for gene expression analysis such as, for example, RNA detection, quantitative or qualitative polymerase chain reaction or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). In another preferred embodiment the C4.4a expression is determined by means of immunohistochemistry with an anti-C4.4a antibody. The immunohistochemistry is carried out preferably on formaldehyde-fixed tissue. The antibody for use in the immunohistochemistry is the same antibody which is also used in the conjugate. The antibody for use in the immunohistochemistry is a second antibody which--preferably specifically--recognizes the C4.4a target protein.

[2983] The compounds according to the invention can be employed by themselves or, if required, in combination with one or more other pharmacologically active substances, as long as this combination does not lead to undesirable and unacceptable side effects. The present invention furthermore therefore provides medicaments comprising at least one of the compounds of the invention and one or more further drugs, in particular for the treatment and/or prevention of the abovementioned diseases.

[2985] In a preferred embodiment, the compounds of the present invention can be combined with antihyperproliferative agents, which can be, by way of example--without this list being conclusive as follows:

aminoglutethimide, L-asparaginase, azathioprine, 5-azacytidine, bleomycin, busulfan, carboplatin, carmustine, chlorambucil, cisplatin, colaspase, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dacarbazine, dactinomycin, daunorubicin, diethylstilbestrol, 2',2'-difluorodeoxycytidine, docetaxel, doxorubicin (adriamycin), epirubicin, epothilone and its derivatives, erythro-hydroxynonyladenin, ethinyl-estradiol, etoposide, fludarabin phosphate, 5-fluorodeoxyuridine, 5-fluorodeoxyuridine mono-phosphate, 5-fluorouracil, fluoxymesterone, flutamide, hexamethylmelamine, hydroxyurea, hydroxyprogesterone caproate, idarubicin, ifosfamide, interferon, irinotecan, leucovorin, lomustine, mechlorethamine, medroxyprogesterone acetate, megestrol acetate, melphalan, 6-mercaptopurine, mesna, methotrexate, mitomycin C, mitotane, mitoxantrone, paclitaxel, pentostatin, N-phosphonoacetyl L-aspartate (PALA), plicamycin, prednisolone, prednisone, procarbazine, raloxifen, semustine, streptozocin, tamoxifen, teniposide, testosterone propionate, thioguanine, thiotepa, topotecan, trimethylmelamine, uridine, vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine and vinorelbine.

[2986] The compounds of the invention can also be combined in a very promising manner with biological therapeutics such as antibodies (e.g. avastin, rituxan, erbitux, herceptin). The compounds of the invention can also achieve positive effects in combination with therapies directed against angiogenesis, such as, for example, with avastin, axitinib, recentin, regorafenib, sorafenib or sunitinib. Combinations with inhibitors of the proteasome and of mTOR and also with antihormones and steroidal metabolic enzyme inhibitors are likewise particularly suitable because of their favourable profile of side effects.

[2987] Generally, the following aims can be pursued with the combination of compounds of the present invention with other agents having a cytostatic or cytotoxic action: [2988] an improved activity in slowing down the growth of a tumour, in reducing its size or even in its complete elimination compared with treatment with an individual drug; [2989] the possibility of employing the chemotherapeutics used in a lower dosage than in monotherapy; [2990] the possibility of a more tolerable therapy with few side effects compared with individual administration; [2991] the possibility of treatment of a broader spectrum of tumour diseases; [2992] the achievement of a higher rate of response to the therapy; [2993] a longer survival time of the patient compared with present-day standard therapy.

[2994] The compounds according to the invention can moreover also be employed in combination with radiotherapy and/or surgical intervention.

[2995] The present invention furthermore provides medicaments which comprise at least one compound of the invention, conventionally together with one or more inert, non-toxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients, and the use thereof for the abovementioned purposes.

[2996] The compounds of the invention can act systemically and/or locally. They can be administered in a suitable manner for this purpose, such as for example orally, parenterally, pulmonally, nasally, sublingually, lingually, buccally, rectally, dermally, transdermally, conjunctivally, optically or as an implant or stent.

[2997] The compounds of the invention can be administered in suitable administration forms for these administration routes.

[2998] Administration forms which function according to the prior art, release the compounds of the invention rapidly and/or in a modified manner and contain the compounds of the invention in crystalline and/or amorphized and/or dissolved form are suitable for oral administration, such as e.g. tablets (non-coated or coated tablets, for example with coatings which are resistant to gastric juice or dissolve in a delayed manner or are insoluble and control the release of the compound of the invention), films/oblates or tablets, which disintegrate rapidly in the oral cavity, films/lyophilizates, capsules (for example hard or soft gelatine capsules), film-coated tablets, granules, pellets, powders, emulsions, suspensions, aerosols or solutions.

[2999] Parenteral administration can be effected with bypassing of an absorption step (e.g. intravenously, intraarterially, intracardially, intraspinally or intralumbally) or with inclusion of an absorption (e.g. intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intracutaneously, percutaneously or intraperitoneally). Administration forms which are suitable for parenteral administration include injection and infusion formulations in the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, lyophilizates or sterile powders.

[3000] For the other administration routes e.g. inhalation medicament forms (including powder inhalers, nebulizers), nasal drops, solutions or sprays, tablets, films/oblates or capsules for lingual, sublingual or buccal administration, suppositories, ear or eye preparations, vaginal capsules, aqueous suspensions (lotions, shaking mixtures), lipophilic suspensions, ointments, creams, transdermal therapeutic systems (e.g. patches), milk, pastes, foams, sprinkling powders, implants or stents are suitable.

[3001] Oral and parenteral administration are preferred, in particular oral and intravenous administration.

[3002] The compounds of the invention can be converted into the administration forms mentioned. This can be effected in a manner known per se by mixing with inert, non-toxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients. These excipients include inter alia carrier substances (for example microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, mannitol), solvents (e.g. liquid polyethylene glycols), emulsifiers and dispersing or wetting agents (for example sodium dodecyl sulphate, polyoxysorbitan oleate), binders (for example polyvinylpyrrolidone), synthetic and natural polymers (for example albumin), stabilizers (e.g. antioxidants, such as, for example, ascorbic acid), colorants (e.g. inorganic pigments, such as, for example, iron oxides) and taste and/or odour correctants.

[3003] In general, it has proved advantageous in the case of parenteral administration to administer amounts of from about 0.001 to 1 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to 0.5 mg/kg of body weight to achieve effective results. In the case of oral administration the dosage is about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to 20 mg/kg and very particularly preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight.

[3004] Nevertheless it may be necessary to deviate from the amounts mentioned, and in particular depending on the body weight, administration route, individual behaviour towards the active compound, nature of the formulation and point of time or interval at which administration takes place. Thus in some cases it may be sufficient to manage with less than the above-mentioned minimum amount, while in other cases the upper limit mentioned must be exceeded. In the case where relatively large amounts are administered, it may be advisable to distribute these into several individual doses over the day.

[3005] The following working examples illustrate the invention. The invention is not limited to the examples.

[3006] The percentage figures in the following tests and examples are percentages by weight, unless stated otherwise; parts are parts by weight. Solvent ratios, dilution ratios and concentration data of liquid/liquid solutions in each case relate to the volume.

B-1. General Process for Generating Anti-C4.4a Antibodies

[4313] The anti-C4.4a antibodies described by the sequences of Table 1 and Table 2 were generated by screening a phage display library for recombinant human C4.4a SEQ ID NO: 1 and murine C4.4a SEQ ID NO: 2 and for cells expressing C4.4a. The antibodies obtained in this way were reformatted to the human IgG1 format and used for the working examples described here.

B-2. General Process for Expressing Anti-C4.4a Antibodies in Mammalian Cells

[4314] The antibodies, for example M31-B01 (light chain SEQ ID NO: 346 and heavy chain SEQ ID NO: 347) or further antibodies of Table 2 were produced in a mammalian cell culture. For this purpose, HEK293 6E cells were transiently transfected with a suitable CMV promotor based expression plasmid. The heavy and light chains of the antibodies were cloned either together into a one-vector system, or separately into a two-vector system. The cell culture scale was either up to 1.5 L in a shake flask or 10 L in a "wave-bag". Expression took place at 37.degree. C. for 5-6 days in F17 Medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with Tryptone TN1 (Organotechnie) with 1% "FCS ultra low IgG" (Invitrogen) and 0.5 mM valproic acid. The expression yields were between 100 and 600 mg/l.

B-3. General Process for Purifying Antibodies from Cell Supernatants

[4315] The antibodies, for example M31-B01 (light chain SEQ ID NO: 346 and heavy chain SEQ ID NO: 347) or further antibodies of Table 2 were obtained from the cell culture supernatants. The cell supernatants were clarified by centrifugation to remove cells. Subsequently the cell supernatant was purified by affinity chromatography on a MabSelect Sure (GE Healthcare) chromatography column. For this purpose the column was equilibrated in DPBS pH 7.4 (Sigma/Aldrich), the cell supernatant was applied, and the column was washed with about 10 column volumes of DPBS pH 7.4+500 mM sodium chloride. The antibodies were eluted in 50 mM sodium acetate pH 3.5+500 mM sodium chloride and subsequently purified further by gel filtration chromatography on a Superdex 200 column (GE Healthcare) in DPBS pH 7.4.

B-4. General Process for Coupling to Cysteine Side Chains

[4316] The antibodies used in the coupling reactions were as follows:

anti-C4.4a M31-B01 anti-C4.4a B01-3 anti-C4.4a B01-10 anti-C4.4a B01-7 anti-C4.4a D02-4 anti-C4.4a D02-6 anti-C4.4a D02-7

[4317] Added to a solution of the corresponding antibody in PBS buffer in the concentration range between 1 mg/ml and 15 mg/ml were 3 equivalents of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydro-chloride (TCEP), in solution in PBS buffer, and the mixture was stirred at RT for 1 hour. Subsequently, depending on the desired loading, between 2 and 10 equivalents of the maleimide precursor compound or halide precursor compound for coupling (Intermediate 102, 103, 105-109, 111-114, 117-126, 128, 129, 132-146, 148-155, 157, 159-161, 166, 171, 175-177, 184, 189, 194-195, 199-201, 205, 209, 223-224, 226, 228-231, 236 and 244) were added as a solution in DMSO. The amount of DMSO here ought not to exceed 10% of the overall volume. The batch was stirred at RT for 60-120 minutes and then applied to PD 10 columns (Sephadex.RTM. G-25, GE Healthcare) equilibrated with PBS, and eluted with PBS buffer. Optionally a concentration procedure was carried out additionally by means of ultracentrifugation. If necessary, for more effective removal of low molecular mass constituents, the concentration by ultrafiltration was repeated after re-dilution with PBS buffer.

[4318] Normally, unless otherwise indicated, 5 mg of the corresponding antibody in PBS buffer were used for the reduction and the subsequent coupling. Following purification via the PD10 column, this gave, in each case, solutions of the corresponding ADC in 3.5 ml of PBS buffer. The particular protein concentration indicated was then determined for these solutions. Furthermore, the loading of the antibody (drug/mAb ratio) was determined in accordance with the methods described below.

[4319] This process was used to prepare the immunoconjugates represented in Examples 1-3, 5-30, 32-36, 38-59, 61-66, 68-70, 80, 82-85, 87, 88, 92-95, 97, 98, 107, 109-114, 119 and 122.

[4321] The antibodies used in the coupling reactions were as follows:

anti-C4.4a antibody M31-B01 anti-C4.4a antibody B01-3

[4322] Added to a solution of the corresponding antibody in PBS buffer in the concentration range between 1 mg/ml and 15 mg/ml were, depending on the desired loading, between 2 and 5 equivalents of the precursor compound for coupling (Intermediate 104, 110, 115, 116, 127, 130, 131, 147, 156, 158, 162, 169, 178, 185, 190, 202, 206, 210-216, 218, 219, 227, 233, 238, 240, 242, 245, 247a and 247b)) as a solution in DMSO. After 30 minutes of stirring at RT, the same amount of precursor compound in DMSO was added again. Alternatively it was possible to add 4-10 equivalents of the precursor compound for coupling, in one go. The amount of DMSO here ought not to exceed 10% of the overall volume. After a further 30 minutes of stirring at RT, the batch was applied to PD 10 columns (Sephadex.RTM. G-25, GE Healthcare) equilibrated with PBS, and eluted with PBS buffer. Optionally a concentration procedure was carried out additionally by means of ultracentrifugation. If necessary, for more effective removal of low molecular mass constituents, the concentration by ultrafiltration was repeated after re-dilution with PBS buffer.

[4323] Normally, unless otherwise indicated, 5 mg of the corresponding antibody in PBS buffer were used for the coupling. Following purification via the PD10 column, this gave, in each case, solutions of the corresponding ADC in 3.5 ml of PBS buffer. The particular protein concentration indicated was then determined for these solutions and the loading of the antibody (drug/mAb ratio) was determined in accordance with the methods described below.

[4324] This process was used to prepare the immunoconjugates represented in Examples 4, 31, 37, 60, 67, 81, 86, 89-91, 96, 99-106, 108, 118, 120, 121 and 123-125.

[4326] 10 .mu.mol of the above-described maleimide precursor compounds were taken up in 3 ml of DMF and admixed with 2.1 mg (20 .mu.mol) of L-cysteine. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 hours, then concentrated under reduced pressure and subsequently purified by preparative HPLC.

[4327] In the structural formulae illustrated, the definition of Cys is as follows

where .sctn..sup.3 denotes the link with the linker-toxophore unit.

Further Purification and Characterization of the Conjugates of the Invention

[4328] After reaction had taken place, in certain cases the reaction mixture was concentrated, by ultrafiltration, for example, and then desalted and purified by means of chromatography, for example using a Sephadex.RTM. G-25. Elution took place with, for example, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The solution was subsequently subjected to sterile filtration and freezing. An alternative option is to lyophilize the conjugate.

B-7. Determination of the Toxophore Loading

[4329] The toxophore loading of the resultant solutions of the conjugates described in the working examples, in PBS buffer, was determined as follows:

[4330] The toxophore loading of lysine-linked ADCs was determined by mass-spectrometric determination of the molecular weights of the individual conjugate species. In this case, to start with, the antibody conjugates were deglycosylated by means of PNGaseF, and the sample was acidified and, following HPLC separation, was analysed by mass spectrometry using an ESI-MicroTofQ (Bruker Daltonik). All of the spectra were added via the signal in the TIC (Total Ion Chromatogram), and the molecular weight of the various conjugate species was calculated on the basis of MaxEnt Deconvolution. Following signal integration of the different species, the DAR (Drug/Antibody Ratio) was then calculated.

[4331] For protein identification, in addition to the molecular weight determination, a tryptic digestion was carried out after deglycosylation and/or denaturing, and this digestion, after denaturing, reduction and derivatization, confirmed the identity of the protein on the basis of the tryptic peptides detected.

[4332] The toxophore loading of cysteine-linked conjugates was determined via reversed-phase chromatography of the reduced and denatured ADC. The ADC solution (1 mg/mL, 50 .mu.L) was admixed with guanidinium hydrochloride (GuHCl) (28.6 mg) and with a solution of DL-dithiothreitol (DTT) (500 mM, 3 .mu.L). The mixture was incubated at 55.degree. C. for an hour and analysed by HPLC.

[4333] The HPLC analysis was carried out on an Agilent 1260 HPLC System with detection at 220 nm. The column used was a Polymer Laboratories PLRP-S Polymeric Reversed Phase column (catalogue number PL1912-3802) (2.1.times.150 mm, 8 .mu.m particle size, 1000 .ANG.) with a flow rate of 1 mL/min, using the following gradient: 0 min, 25% B; 3 min, 25% B; 28 min, 50% B. Eluent A consisted of 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in water, eluent B of 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile.

[4334] The peaks detected were assigned by retention time comparison with the light chain (L0) and the heavy chain (H0) of the unconjugated antibody. Peaks which were detected exclusively in the conjugated sample were assigned to the light chain, with a toxophore (L1), and to the heavy chains, with one, two and three toxophores (H1, H2, H3).

[4335] The average loading of the antibody with toxophores was calculated as follows: first of all, the light-chain loading was calculated from the peak areas--determined by integration--of the peaks L0 and L1 belonging to the light chains, as the sum of the toxophore number weighted integration results of L0 and L1, divided by the sum of the singularly weighted integration results of L0 and L1. In the same way, the heavy-chain loading was calculated from the peak areas--determined by integration--of the peaks H0, H1, H2 and H3, belonging to the heavy chains, as the sum of the toxophore number weighted integration results of H0, H1, H2 and H3, divided by the sum of the singularly weighted integration results of H0, H1, H2 and H3. The DAR is given by the light-chain loading and the heavy-chain loading, as the twofold sum of light-chain loading and heavy-chain loading. The factor 2 takes account of the fact that an antibody consists of two light chains and two heavy chains. In certain individual cases it may be impossible exactly to determine the toxophore loading, owing to co-elutions of certain peaks.

B-8. Testing of the Antigen Binding of the ADC

[4336] The binding capacity of the binder to the target molecule was tested after coupling had taken place. The skilled worker knows of diverse methods for achieving this--for example, the affinity of the conjugate can be tested by means of ELISA technology or surface plasmon resonance analysis (BIAcore.TM. measurements). The conjugate concentration can be measured by the skilled person using common methods--for example, for antibody conjugates, by means of protein determination (see also Doronina et al.; Nature Biotechnol. 2003; 21:778-784 and Polson et al., Blood 2007; 1102:616-623).

C: EVALUATION OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

[4565] The biological effect of the compounds of the invention was demonstrated in the assays described below

C-1. Analysis of the Cytotoxic Effect of the ADCs Directed Against C4.4a

[4566] The cytotoxic effect of the anti-C4.4a ADCs is analysed in different cell lines: [4567] A549 (CCL-185, ATCC), transfected with the sequence for the complete C4.4a receptor, [4568] A549, Mock transfected [4569] A549 Wildtype (DSMZ, lot 11) [4570] NCI-H292, endogenously C4.4a expressing lung cancer cell line (CRL-1848, ATCC) [4571] SCC-4 endogenously C4.4a expressing squamous epithelial carcinoma cell line (CRL-1624, ATCC) [4572] SCC-9 endogenously C4.4a expressing squamous epithelial carcinoma cell line (CRL-1629, ATCC) [4573] HCT-116 endogenously C4.4a expressing colonic carcinoma cell line (CCL-247, ATCC) [4574] HCT-116/VM46, HCT-116 transfected with VM46 [4575] A431NS(CRL-2592, ATCC)

[4576] The cells are cultivated by a standard method, as indicated in the American Tissue Type Collection (ATCC) for the respective cell lines. For the procedure, the cells are detached using a solution of trypsin (0.05%) and EDTA (0.02%) in PBS (Biochrom AG #L2143), pelletized, resuspended in culture medium, counted and seeded out into a 96-well culture plate with a white base (Costar #3610) (2500 cells in 100 .mu.l/well) and incubated in an incubator at 37.degree. C. with 5% carbon dioxide. After 24 hours, the antibody-drug conjugates in 100 .mu.l of culture medium are applied to the cells at concentrations of 10.sup.-7M to 10.sup.-11 M (duplicate values), and were incubated in the incubator at 37.degree. C. with 5% carbon dioxide. After 72 hours, cell viability is determined using the Cell Titer Glow Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega #G7573 and #G7571). For this purpose, 100 .mu.l of the substrate are added per cell batch, and the plates are subsequently covered with aluminium foil, shaken at 180 rpm in a plate shaker for 2 minutes, left to stand on the laboratory bench for 8 minutes, and then measured using a Victor X2 (Perkin Elmer). The substrate detects the ATP content of the living cells, producing a luminescence signal whose extent is directly proportional to the vitality of the cells.

C-2. Determination of the Effect on Tubulin Polymerization

[4578] Cancer cells are denatured cells which frequently lead to the formation of tumours also as a result of increased cell division. Microtubuli form the spindle fibres of the spindle apparatus and are an essential constituent of the cell cycle. The regulated construction and breakdown of microtubuli allows the precise division of the chromosomes among the daughter cells, and constitutes a continuously dynamic process. Disruption to this dynamic process results in incorrect cell division and ultimately in cell death. The increased cell division of cancer cells, however, also makes them particularly sensitive towards spindle fibre poisons, which constitute a fixed constituent of chemotherapy. Spindle fibre poisons such as paclitaxel or epothilone lead to a sharply increased polymerization rate of the microtubuli, while vinca alkaloids or else monomethylauristatin E (MMAE) lead to a sharply reduced polymerization rate of the microtubuli. In both cases, the necessary dynamism of the cell cycle is critically disrupted. The compounds investigated in the context of the present invention result in a reduced polymerization rate of the microtubuli. Tubulin polymerization was investigated using the "Fluorescence-based Microtubule Polymerisation Assay Kit" from Cytoskeleton (Denver, Colo., USA; order number: BK011). With this assay, GTP is added to unpolymerized tubulin, allowing polymerization to take place spontaneously. The assay is based on the binding of the fluorophore 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to tubulin. Free and bound DAPI can be differentiated on the basis of different emission spectra. Since DAPI exhibits a significantly high affinity for polymerized tubulin in comparison to non-polymerized tubulin, the tubulin polymerization can be followed via the increase in the fluorescence of bound DAPI fluorophores.

[4579] For the implementation of this assay, the compounds of the invention, in solution in DMSO, were diluted from their initial concentration of 10 mM to 1 .mu.M in water. In addition to the buffer control, paclitaxel, with a polymerization-increasing effect, and vinblastin, with a polymerization inhibiting effect, were run additionally as assay controls. Measurement was carried out using 96-well plates with a half base area. The kinetics of the tubulin polymerization were monitored in a Fluorimeter at 37.degree. C. for 1 hour. The excitation wavelength was 355 nm, and emission was monitored at 460 nm. For the region of linear increase within the first 10 minutes, a calculation was made of the change in fluorescence per minute (AF/min), which represents the polymerization rate of the microtubuli. The potency of the test substances was quantified on the basis of their respective reduction of the polymerization rate.

[4580] The value for the inhibition of MMAF at a concentration of 1 .mu.M is set as being 100%.

[4581] Table 4 gives data for the inhibition of tubulin polymerization by representative working examples.

TABLE-US-00032 TABLE 4 Concentration Tubulin polymerization in the of presence of toxophore in [%].

[4582] The MMAF toxophore and the working examples inhibit tubulin polymerization as a function of their concentration. At 100 .mu.M MMAF, the tubulin polymerization is inhibited completely. Working Example 115 inhibits the tubulin polymerization rate at 1 .mu.M to 45% of the value measured for 1 .mu.M MMAF.

C-3. In Vitro Tests for Determining Cell Permeability

[4583] The cell permeability of a substance can be investigated by means of in vitro testing in a flux assay using Caco-2 cells [M. D. Troutman and D. R. Thakker, Pharm. Res. 20 (8), 1210-1224 (2003)]. For this purpose, the cells were cultured for 15-16 days on 24-well filter plates. For the determination of permeation, the respective working example was applied in a HEPES buffer to the cells either apically (A) or basally (B) and incubated for 2 hours. After 0 hours and after 2 hours, samples were taken from the cis and trans compartments. The samples were separated by HPLC (Agilent 1200, Boblingen, Germany) using reverse phase columns. The HPLC system was coupled via a Turbo Ion Spray Interface to a Triple Quadropol mass spectrometer API 4000 (Applied Biosystems Applera, Darmstadt, Germany). The permeability was evaluated on the basis of a P.sub.app value, which was calculated using the formula published by Schwab et al. [D. Schwab et al., J. Med. Chem. 46, 1716-1725 (2003)].

[4584] Of critical importance for toxophores which are released intracellularly is the permeability from B to A [P.sub.app (B-A)]: the lower this permeability, the longer the residence time of the working example in the cell following intracellular release, and hence also the longer the time available for interaction with the biochemical target (in this case: tubulin).

[4585] Table 5 below sets out permeability data for representative working examples from this assay:

TABLE-US-00033 TABLE 5 Working P.sub.app (B-A) example [nm/s] 71 2 72 1.6 73 2.5 74 5 75 1 77 7 115 2 116 1 126 1.8 127 1.5

[4586] The working examples exhibit a low permeability from B to A [P.sub.app (B-A) and therefore have a long residence time in the CaCo-2 cells. In comparison, monomethylauristatin E (MMAE) and monomethylauristatin F (MMAF) in this test exhibit a P.sub.app (B-A) value of 73 nm/s, and therefore have a significantly shorter residence time in the Caco-2 cells.

C-4. In Vitro Tests for Determining the Substrate Properties for P-Glycoprotein (P-gp)

[4587] Many tumour cells express transporter proteins for drugs, and this frequently accompanies the development of resistance towards cytostatics. Substances which are not substrates of such transporter proteins, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or BCRP, for example, could therefore exhibit an improved activity profile.

[4588] The substrate properties of a substance for P-gp (ABCB1) were determined by means of a flux assay using LLC-PK1 cells which overexpress P-gp (L-MDR1 cells) [A. H. Schinkel et al., J. Clin. Invest. 96, 1698-1705 (1995)]. For this purpose, the LLC-PK1 cells or L-MDR1 cells were cultured on 96-well filter plates for 3-4 days. For determination of the permeation, the respective test substance, alone or in the presence of an inhibitor (such as Ivermectin or Verapamil, for example), was applied in a HEPES buffer to the cells either apically (A) or basally (B) and incubated for 2 hours. After 0 hours and after 2 hours, samples were taken from the cis and trans compartments. The samples were separated by HPLC using reverse phase columns. The HPLC system was coupled via a Turbo Ion Spray Interface to a Triple Quadropol mass spectrometer API 3000 (Applied Biosystems Applera, Darmstadt, Germany). The permeability was evaluated on the basis of a P.sub.app value which was calculated using the formula published by Schwab et al. [D. Schwab et al., J. Med. Chem. 46, 1716-1725 (2003)].

[4589] Of critical importance for toxophores which are released intracellularly is the permeability from B to A [P.sub.app (B-A)]: the lower this permeability, the longer the residence time of the working example in the cell following intracellular release, and hence also the longer the time available for interaction with the biochemical target (in this case: tubulin).

[4590] Table 6 below lists permeability data for representative working examples from this assay, which was carried out in L-MDR1 cells:

TABLE-US-00034 TABLE 6 Working P.sub.app (B-A) example [nm/s] 71 3 72 3.6 73 2.1 74 3.6 75 4 77 2 115 6 116 4

[4591] The working examples exhibit a low permeability from B to A [P.sub.app (B-A) and therefore have a long residence time in the L-MDR1 cells.

C-5. Activity Test in Vivo

[4592] The activity of the conjugates of the invention was tested in vivo by means, for example, of xenograft models. The skilled person knows of methods in the prior art for testing the activity of a conjugate of the invention (see, for example, WO 2005/081711; Polson et al., Cancer Res. 2009 Mar. 15; 69(6):2358-64). For this purpose, for example, rodents (e.g. mice) were implanted with a tumour cell line which expresses the target molecule of the binder. These tumour-bearing rodents were subsequently administered either a conjugate of the invention or a control antibody conjugate, or isotonic salt solution. Administration took place singularly or more often. Tumour growth was determined twice weekly with the aid of a sliding calliper. After tumour growth for several weeks, the tumour size of conjugate-treated animals was compared with that of the control group. The conjugate-treated animals showed a significantly smaller tumour size.

C-5a. Testing of ADCs in Experimental Tumours in the Mouse

[4593] The predictive force of mice xenograft tumour models, relative to the clinical situation in the case of immunotoxin therapies, is often limited, on the one hand by the deficient cross-reactivity of the therapeutic antibodies with the murine species, and on the other hand by the incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) in the human body on administration of murine or chimeric antibodies. In order to utilize the full potential of the specific C4.4a expression for cancer therapy, for an immunoconjugate approach, for example, there is a need for human antibodies which are of high affinity, are selective and exhibit species cross-reactivity, of the kind employed preferably in accordance with the invention. With such antibodies, mice xenograft tumour models yield meaningful findings relative to the clinical situation.

[4594] Human tumour cells which express C4.4a are inoculated subcutaneously into the flank of immunosuppressed mice, such as nude mice or SCID mice. 1-10 million cells are detached from the cell culture, centrifuged and resuspended with 100 .mu.l of medium or 50% medium/50% Matrigel. The cell suspension is injected beneath the skin of the mouse.

[4595] Within a few days, a tumour grows. Treatment begins no earlier than after tumour establishment with a tumour size of 25 mm.sup.2.

[4596] Treatment with ADCs takes place by the intravenous route into the caudal vein of the mouse. The ADC is dissolved in PBS and is administered with a volume of 10 ml/kg.

[4597] The treatment scheme is governed by the pharmacokinetics of the antibody. As a standard, the treatment takes place three times following every fourth day. Treatment, however, may also be continued further, or a second cycle with three days of treatment may follow at a later point in time.

[4598] As a standard basis, 8 animals are used per treatment group. This number may be higher if particularly strong fluctuations in tumour growth or after treatment are anticipated. As well as the groups which receive the active substances, one group, as a control group, is treated only with the buffer, in accordance with the same scheme.

[4599] In the course of the experiment, the area of the tumour is measured regularly using a sliding calliper in two dimensions (length/width).

[4600] At the end of the experiment, the tumours are removed and weighed. The ratio of the average tumour weights for the therapy group (T) to the control group (C) is expressed as T/C. Where control groups and treatment groups are ended at different times, the T/C value is calculated on the basis of the tumour areas of the last joint measurement of all the treatment groups and control groups.

[4601] 1 million SCC-4 cells are inoculated subcutaneously into the flank of female NMRI nude mice.

[4602] Intravenous treatment with the ADCs is commenced at an average tumour size of 30-35 mm.sup.2. When the control groups have reached the maximum allowed size, the experiment is ended and the tumours are removed and weighed. All of the ADCs tested that target C4.4a have inhibited tumour growth in a dose-dependent manner. At a dose of 30 mg/kg, Example 54, Example 49, Example 51 and Example 53 each reached a T/C of <0.1. Significant anti-tumour activity in comparison to the control was achieved for Examples 49, 52, 53, 54 and 56 at a dose of down to 15 mg/kg, achieving T/C values of .ltoreq.0.29.

[4603] 1 million NCI-H292 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the flank of female NMRI nude mice.

[4604] Intravenous treatment with the ADCs is commenced at an average tumour size of 30-35 mm.sup.2. Control groups and treatment groups are each ended when the maximum allowable tumour size is reached. In this way, differences in the further growth of tumours after the end of treatment may contribute to further characterization of the ADCs. Consequently, the tumour areas at the last joint point in time of measurement was employed for determining the anti-tumour activity in comparison to the control (T/C). In the NCI-H292 mouse model used, it is shown that all of the ADCs tested reduce tumour growth dose-dependently in comparison to the control. A significant anti-tumour effect was obtained for Example 54 at a dose of down to 1.9 mg/kg, and for Example 49 at a dose of down to 3.75 mg/kg. The minimum T/C values obtained in this model are a T/C of 0.16 at 30 mg/kg for Example 54, a T/C of 0.17 at 30 mg/kg for Example 49, a T/C of 0.16 at 30 mg/kg for Example 53, a T/C of 0.17 at 15 mg/kg for Example 51, and a T/C of 0.19 at 3.75 mg/kg for Example 70. On comparative administration of the ADCs with a constant dose of 7.5 mg/kg, it was possible to achieve a T/C of 0.20 with each of Examples 49 and 54, a T/C of 0.27 with Example 51, a T/C of 0.22 with Example 52, a T/C of 0.23 with Example 53, a T/C of 0.24 with Example 55, a T/C of 0.21 with Example 56 and a T/C of 0.17 with Example 70.

C-6. Pharmacokinetics in the A549 Tumour Model with C4.4a-Transfected and Non-Transfected A549 Cells

[4605] Following intravenous administration of 7-30 mg/kg of various ADCs, the plasma concentrations and tumour concentrations of ADC and also of potential metabolites were measured, and the pharmacokinetic parameters such as clearance (CL), area under the curve (AUC) and half-life (t.sub.1/2) were calculated.

Analysis for Quantifying the Potential Metabolites

[4606] The measurement of the compounds in plasma and tumour took place following precipitation of the proteins with methanol, by means of high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to a tandem mass spectrometer (MS).

[4607] For the processing of 100 .mu.L of plasma, it was admixed with 400 .mu.L of methanol and 10 .mu.L of internal standard (ISTD, 50 ng/mL in methanol) and shaken for 10 seconds. After centrifuging for 5 minutes at 16 000 g, 250 .mu.L of supernatant were transferred to an autosampler vial, which was made up with 250 .mu.L of ammonium acetate buffer (AAC, 10 mM, pH 6.8) and shaken again.

[4608] For the processing of a tumour, it was admixed with 4 times the amount of methanol. In a Tissuelyser II (Quiagen), the sample was comminuted at 30 impacts per minute for 6 minutes and then centrifuged off at 16 000 g for 5 minutes. 50 .mu.L of the supernatant were transferred to an autosampler vial and made up with 50 .mu.L of ammonium acetate buffer (10 mM, pH 6.8) and with 5 .mu.L of ISTD. After again being shaken, the tumour sample was ready for measurement.

[4609] The measurement of both matrix samples took place, lastly, on the HPLC-coupled, atmospheric pressure ionization/tandem mass spectrometer by means of a Turbo Ion Spray Interface (TISP) on an API4000 instrument from SCIEX.

[4610] HPLC/LC-MSMS (TISP) analysis ran on an HP1100 pump (Agilent) with a Gemini column (5 .mu.m C18 110 A, 50.times.3 mm, Phenomenex).

[4611] For calibration, plasma samples were admixed with concentrations of 0.5-2000 .mu.g/L. The detection limit (LOQ) was about 2 .mu.g/L. The linear range extended from 2 to 1000 .mu.g/L

[4612] For the calibration of the tumour samples, the supernatant of untreated tumours was admixed with concentrations of 0.5-200 .mu.g/L. The detection limit was 5 .mu.g/L. The linear range extended from to 200 .mu.g/L.

[4613] Quality controls for validity testing contained 5 and 50 .mu.g/L, with an additional 500 .mu.g/L in plasma. The concentrations found for these samples deviated by up to 20% from the intended value (data not attached).
