Filed:
Mar 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/826181
Inventors:
Wei Li - Acton MA, US
Nathan Elliott Fishkin - Weymouth MA, US
Robert Yongxin Zhao - Lexington MA, US
Michael Louis Miller - Framingham MA, US
Ravi V.J. Chari - Newton MA, US
International Classification:
C07D 487/04, C07K 16/28, A61K 45/06, A61K 38/07, C07K 5/103, A61K 47/48, A61K 31/5517
US Classification:
4241781, 5303917, 514219, 540494, 514 219, 530330, 514 37, 514 167, 514 177, 514 154, 514 192, 514 193, 514 194, 514 195
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel benzodiazepine derivatives with antiproliferative activity and more specifically to novel benzodiazepines of formula (I) and (II), in which the diazepine ring (B) is fused with a heterocyclic ring (CD), wherein the heterocyclic ring is bicyclic or a compound of formula (III), in which the diazepine ring (B) is fused with a heterocyclic ring (C), wherein the heterocyclic ring is monocyclic. The invention provides cytotoxic dimers of these compounds. The invention also provides conjugates of the monomers and the dimers. The invention further provides compositions and methods useful for inhibiting abnormal cell growth or treating a proliferative disorder in a mammal using the compounds or conjugates of the invention. The invention further relates to methods of using the compounds or conjugates for in vitro, in situ, and in vivo diagnosis or treatment of mammalian cells, or associated pathological conditions.

Prodrugs Of Cc-A1065 Analogs

US Patent:
8012978, Sep 6, 2011
Filed:
Sep 4, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/204082
Inventors:
Robert Zhao - Lexington MA, US
Ravi V. J. Chari - Newton MA, US
Assignee:
ImmunoGen, Inc. - Waltham MA
International Classification:
A61K 31/497, C07F 9/02
US Classification:
5142522, 514411, 548414, 548427
Abstract:
The present invention provides prodrugs of analogs of the anti-tumor antibiotic CC-1065 having a cleavable protective group containing a sulfonic acid containing phenyl carbamate, in which the protecting group confers enhanced water solubility upon the prodrug, and in which the prodrug also has a moiety, such as a sulfide or a disulfide, that can conjugate to a cell binding reagent such as an antibody, and for the therapeutic use of such prodrug and conjugates, and for processes for preparing such prodrugs and conjugates.
