Reaction with a of each of the prior applications is hereby incorporated by thiol -containing cytotoxic drug provides a conjugate in reference . which the cell - binding agent, such as a monoclonal anti body , and drug are linked via disulfide bonds or thioether bonds . FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0005 ] However, the use of the cell binding molecule - drug [0002 ] The present invention relates to the preparation of conjugates, such as antibody -drug conjugates (ADCs ) , in novel charged phosphinate linkers used for the conjugation developing therapies for a wide variety of has been of a drug , in particular, a cytotoxic agent to a biological limited both by the availability of specific targeting agents molecule. The present invention also relates to methods of ( carriers ) as well as the conjugation methodologies which making cell -binding agent- drug (cytotoxic agent) conjugates result in the formation of aggregates when the comprising either modification of drugs with these charged amount of the drugs that are conjugated to the carrier ( i. e ., linkers first, followed by reaction with cell - binding agents ; the drug loading ) is increased . Normally the tendency for or modification of cell- binding agents with these charged cytotoxic drug conjugates to aggregate is especially prob lematic when the conjugation reactions are performed with linkers first, followed by reaction with drugs. the hydrophobic linkers . Since higher drug loading increases BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION the inherent potency of the conjugate , it is desirable to have as much drug loaded on the carrier as is consistent with [ 0003] Targeted drug delivery (Muller , R ; Keck , C (2004 ). retaining the affinity of the carrier protein .

There are different types of drug delivery tion of these conjugates more difficult and decreases the vehicles , such as , antibodies, proteins, vitamins, peptides , yield of the products . polymeric micelles , liposomes, lipoprotein - based drug car [0006 ] Consequently , there is a critical need to improve riers , nano -particle drug carriers , dendrimers etc . An ideal methods for conjugating drugs/ cytotoxic drugs to carriers drug delivery vehicle must be non - toxic , biocompatible , ( cell binding molecules ) thatminimize the amount of aggre non - immunogenic, and biodegradable ( Scott, R ; Crabbe , D ; gation and thereby allow for as high a drug loading as et al ( 2008 ) Expert Opin .

The link between the delivery [ 0007 ] The present invention provides charged linkers vehicles , in particular, antibodies and the cell -killing agent containing phosphinate group to link drugs to a cell -binding plays a critical role in the development of targeted drug agent (e . g. , an antibody ). The preferred formula of the cell delivery systems, as the nature of the linker significantly binding molecule charged linker -drug conjugates can be affects the potency, selectivity and the of represented as : Cb - ( - L -Drug ) , wherein Cb is a cell - binding the resulting conjugates (Zhao , R . , Wilhelm , S . et al , ( 2011 ) agent, L is a charged linker, Drug is a drug molecule , and n J .
