    Definitions

    Chemical Groups

    [0016] Alkyl refers to a monoradical, branched or linear, non-cyclic, saturated hydrocarbon group. Exemplary alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, octyl, decyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. In some cases, the alkyl group has 1 to 24 carbon atoms, e.g. 1 to 12, 1 to 6, or 1 to 3.

    [0017] Alkenyl refers to a monoradical, branched or linear, non-cyclic hydrocarbonyl group that comprises a carbon-carbon double bond. Exemplary alkenyl groups include ethenyl, n-propenyl, isopropenyl, n-butenyl, isobutenyl, octenyl, decenyl, tetradecenyl, hexadecenyl, eicosenyl, and tetracosenyl.

    [0018] Alkynyl refers to a monoradical, branched or linear, non-cyclic hydrocarbonyl group that comprises a carbon-carbon triple bond. Exemplary alkynyl groups include ethynyl and n-propynyl.

    [0019] Cycloalkyl refers to a monoradical, cyclic, saturated hydrocarbon group. Similarly, cycloalkenyl refers to a monoradical and cyclic group having carbon-carbon double bond whereas cycloalkynyl refers to a monoradical and cyclic group having carbon-carbon triple bond.

    [0020] Heterocyclyl refers to a monoradical, cyclic group that contains a heteroatom (e.g. O, S, N) as a ring atom and that is not aromatic (i.e. distinguishing heterocyclyl groups from heteroaryl groups). Exemplary heterocyclyl groups include piperidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, dihydrofuranyl, and thiocanyl.

    [0021] Aryl refers to an aromatic group containing at least one aromatic ring, wherein each of the atoms in the ring are carbon atoms, i.e. none of the ring atoms are heteroatoms (e.g. O, S, N). In some cases the aryl group has a second aromatic ring, e.g. that is fused to the first aromatic ring. Exemplary aryl groups are phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, diphenylether, diphenylamine, and benzophenone.

    [0022] Heteroaryl refers to an aromatic group containing at least one aromatic ring, wherein at least one of the atoms in the aromatic ring is a heteroatom (e.g. O, S, N). Exemplary heteroaryl groups include those obtained from removing a hydrogen atom from pyridine, pyrimidine, furan, thiophene, or benzothiophene.

    [0023] The term substituted refers the removal of one or more hydrogens from an atom (e.g. from a C or N atom) and their replacement with a different group. For instance, a hydrogen atom on a phenyl (C.sub.6H.sub.5) group can be replaced with a methyl group to form a C.sub.6H.sub.4CH.sub.3 group. Thus, the C.sub.6H.sub.4CH.sub.3 group can be considered a substituted aryl group. As another example, two hydrogen atoms from the second carbon of a propyl (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3) group can be replaced with an oxygen atom to form a CH.sub.2C(O)CH.sub.3 group, which can be considered a substituted alkyl group. However, replacement of a hydrogen atom on a propyl (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3) group with a methyl group (e.g. giving CH.sub.2CH(CH.sub.3)CH.sub.3) is not considered a substitution as used herein since the starting group and the ending group are both alkyl groups. However, if the propyl group was substituted with a methoxy group, thereby giving a CH.sub.2CH(OCH.sub.3)CH.sub.3 group, the overall group can no long be considered alkyl, and thus is substituted alkyl. Thus, in order to be considered a substituent, the replacement group is a different type than the original group. In addition, groups are presumed to be unsubstituted unless described as substituted. For instance, the term alkyl and unsubstituted alkyl are used interchangeably herein.

    [0024] Exemplary substituents include alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, heteroaryl, acyl, alkoxy, amino, azido, carbonyl, carboxy, cyano, ether, halo, hydroxy, nitro, and substituted versions thereof.

    [0025] In some cases, the substitutions can themselves be further substituted with one or more groups. For example, the group C.sub.6H.sub.4CH.sub.2CH.sub.3 can be considered as substituted aryl, i.e. an aryl group substituted with the ethyl, which is an alkyl group. Furthermore, the ethyl group can itself be substituted with a pyridyl group to form C.sub.6H.sub.4CH.sub.2CH.sub.2C.sub.5H.sub.5N, wherein C.sub.6H.sub.4CH.sub.2CH.sub.2C.sub.5H.sub.5N can also be considered as a substituted aryl group as the term is used herein. In some cases, the substituents are not substituted with any other groups.

    [0026] Monoradical and multiradical groups are described herein. For example, the methyl group (CH.sub.3) and the ethyl group (CH.sub.2CH.sub.3) are monoradical groups. In contrast, exemplary diradical groups include diylmethane (CH.sub.2, which is also known as a methylene group) and 1,2-diylethane (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2). The term arylene refers to the diradical version of an aryl group, e.g. 1,4-diylbenzene refers to a C.sub.6H.sub.4 fragment wherein two hydrogens that are located para to one another are removed and replaced with single bonds to other groups. The terms alkenylene, alkynylene, heteroarylene, and heterocyclene are also used herein. The term diradical connector is used interchangeably with the term diradical group. Exemplary diradical groups include alkyl groups, substituted alkyl groups, polyethylene glycol groups, alkoxy groups, substituted alkoxy groups, arylalkyl groups, and substituted arylalkyl groups.

    [0027] Acyl refers to a group of formula C(O)R wherein R is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or substituted versions thereof. For example, the acetyl group has formula C(O)CH.sub.3. Carbonyl refers to a diradical group of formula C(O).

    [0028] Alkoxy refers to a group of formula O(alkyl). Similar groups can be derived from alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and other groups.

    [0029] Amino refers to the group NR.sup.XR.sup.Y wherein R.sup.X and R.sup.Y are each independently H or a non-hydrogen substituent. Exemplary non-hydrogen substituents include alkyl groups (e.g. methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl) and the carbonyl group.

    [0030] Amide refers to the group C(O)NR.sup.QR.sup.R wherein R.sup.Q and R.sup.R are each independently H or a non-hydrogen substituent.

    [0031] Carbonyl refers to a diradical group of formula C(O).

    [0032] Carboxy is used interchangeably with carboxyl and carboxylate to refer to the CO.sub.2H group and salts thereof.

    [0033] Ether refers to a diradical group of formula O. For instance, if the ether group is connected to an alkyl group, then the overall group is an alkoxy group (e.g. OCH.sub.3 or methoxy). If the ether is connected to a carbonyl group, then the overall group is an ester group of formula OC(O).

    [0034] Halo and halogen refer to the chloro, bromo, fluoro, and iodo groups.

    [0035] Nitro refers to the group of formula NO.sub.2.

    [0036] Oxamide refers to the group R.sup.PNC(O)C(O)NR.sup.PR.sup.Q wherein R.sup.P and R.sup.Q are each independently H or a non-hydrogen substituent. Oxamide can also be referred to as ethanediamide or oxalamide.

    [0037] Phosphoramide refers to the group HNP(O)(NH.sub.2).sub.2. Phosphoramide can also be referred to as phosphoric triamide.

    [0038] Sulfonamide refers to the group R.sup.PNS(O).sub.2NR.sup.PR.sup.Q wherein R.sup.P and R.sup.Q are each independently H or a non-hydrogen substituent. Sulfonamide can also be referred to as Sulfuric diamide.

    [0039] Thioamide refers to the group RPS(O)NR.sup.PR.sup.Q wherein R.sup.P, R.sup.Q and R.sup.R are each independently H or a non-hydrogen substituent. Thioamide can also be referred to as alkylsulfnamide.

    [0040] Ureido refers to univalent radical of urea. In other words, ureido refers to the group HNC(O)NHR.sup.R, wherein R.sup.R is H or a non-hydrogen substituent. Ureido can also be referred to as urea.

    [0041] Unless otherwise specified, reference to an atom is meant to include all isotopes of that atom. For example, reference to H includes .sup.1H, .sup.2H (i.e. D or deuterium) and .sup.3H (i.e. tritium), and reference to C is includes both .sup.12C and all other isotopes of carbon (e.g. .sup.13C). Unless specified otherwise, groups include all possible stereoisomers.

    [0042] Chemoselective functional group refers to a functional group that can selectively react with another compatible functional group to form a covalent bond, in some cases, after optional activation of one of the functional groups. Chemoselective functional groups of interest include, but are not limited to, thiols and maleimide or iodoacetamide, amines and carboxylic acids or active esters thereof, as well as groups that can react with one another via Click chemistry, e.g., azide and alkyne groups (e.g., cyclooctyne groups), tetrazine, transcyclooctene, dienes and dienophiles, and azide, sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange chemistry (SuFEX), sulfonyl fluoride, as well as hydroxyl, hydrazido, hydrazino, aldehyde, ketone, azido, alkyne, phosphine, epoxide, succinimide, pentafluorophenyl (PFP) ester, and carboxylic acid (e.g. on a lysine residue).

    Treatment

    [0043] The terms active agent, active pharmaceutical ingredient, pharmacologically active agent, and drug are used interchangeably herein to refer to a chemical material or compound which, when administered to an organism (human or animal) induces a desired pharmacologic and/or physiologic effect by local and/or systemic action.

    [0044] The terms individual, host, subject, and patient are used interchangeably herein, and refer to an animal, including, but not limited to, human and non-human primates, including simians and humans; rodents, including rats and mice; bovines; equines; ovines; felines; canines; and the like. Mammal means a member or members of any mammalian species, and includes, by way of example, canines; felines; equines; bovines; ovines; rodentia, etc. and primates, e.g., non-human primates, and humans. Non-human animal models, e.g., mammals, e.g. non-human primates, murines, lagomorpha, etc. may be used for experimental investigations.

    [0045] As used herein, the terms treatment, treating, and the like, refer to obtaining a desired pharmacologic and/or physiologic effect, such as reduction of viral titer. The effect may be prophylactic in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or symptom thereof and/or may be therapeutic in terms of a partial or complete cure for a disease and/or adverse effect attributable to the disease. Treatment, as used herein, covers any treatment of a disease in a mammal, particularly in a human, and includes: (a) preventing the disease or a symptom of a disease from occurring in a subject which may be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed as having it (e.g., including diseases that may be associated with or caused by a primary disease (as in liver fibrosis that can result in the context of chronic HCV infection); (b) inhibiting the disease, i.e., arresting its development; and (c) relieving the disease, i.e., causing regression of the disease (e.g., reduction in viral titers)

    [0046] A therapeutically effective amount, a therapeutically effective dose or therapeutic dose is an amount sufficient to effect desired clinical results (i.e., achieve therapeutic efficacy, achieve a desired therapeutic response, etc.). A therapeutically effective dose can be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of this disclosure, a therapeutically effective dose of a compositions is an amount that is sufficient, when administered to the individual, to palliate, ameliorate, stabilize, reverse, prevent, slow or delay the progression of a disease state (e.g., cancer, etc.) present in the subject.

    [0047] As used herein, the terms determining, measuring, assessing, and assaying are used interchangeably and include both quantitative and qualitative determinations.

    [0048] The term unit dosage form, as used herein, refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human and animal subjects, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of a compound (e.g., an aminopyrimidine compound, as described herein) calculated in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, carrier or vehicle. The specifications for unit dosage forms depend on the particular compound employed and the effect to be achieved, and the pharmacodynamics associated with each compound in the host.

    [0049] A pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant means an excipient, diluent, carrier, and adjuvant that are useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that are generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and include an excipient, diluent, carrier, and adjuvant that are acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. A pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, diluent, carrier and adjuvant as used in the specification and claims includes both one and more than one such excipient, diluent, carrier, and adjuvant.

    [0050] As used herein, a pharmaceutical composition is meant to encompass a composition suitable for administration to a subject, such as a mammal, especially a human. In general a pharmaceutical composition is sterile, and preferably free of contaminants that are capable of eliciting an undesirable response within the subject (e.g., the compound(s) in the pharmaceutical composition is pharmaceutical grade). Pharmaceutical compositions can be designed for administration to subjects or patients in need thereof via a number of different routes of administration including oral, buccal, rectal, parenteral, intraperitoneal, intradermal, intracheal, intramuscular, subcutaneous, and the like.

    [0051] The terms co-administration and in combination with include the administration of two or more therapeutic agents either simultaneously, concurrently or sequentially within no specific time limits. In one embodiment, the agents are present in the cell or in the subject's body at the same time or exert their biological or therapeutic effect at the same time. In one embodiment, the therapeutic agents are in the same composition or unit dosage form. In other embodiments, the therapeutic agents are in separate compositions or unit dosage forms. In certain embodiments, a first agent can be administered prior to (e.g., minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, or 12 weeks before), concomitantly with, or subsequent to (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, or 12 weeks after) the administration of a second therapeutic agent.

    Methods of Treatment

    [0052] Provided are methods of treating a subject for a condition by administering a conjugate as described herein. In some cases, the subject has been diagnosed with a condition.

    [0053] The subject compounds or prodrugs find use for treating a disease or disorder in a subject. The route of administration may be selected according to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the condition to be treated, the formulation and/or device used, the subject to be treated, and the like. Routes of administration useful in the disclosed methods include, but are not limited to, oral and parenteral routes, such as intravenous (iv), intraperitoneal (ip), rectal, topical, ophthalmic, nasal, otic, intrathecal, and transdermal. Formulations for these dosage forms are described herein.

    [0054] An effective amount of a subject compound or prodrug may depend, at least, on the particular method of use, the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, and the manner of administration of the therapeutic composition. A therapeutically effective amount of a composition is a quantity of a specified compound or prodrug sufficient to achieve a desired effect in a subject (e.g., patient) being treated. For example, this may be the amount of a subject compound necessary to prevent, inhibit, reduce or relieve a disease or disorder in a subject. Ideally, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound or prodrug is an amount sufficient to prevent, inhibit, reduce or relieve a disease or disorder in a subject without causing a substantial cytotoxic effect on host cells in the subject.

    [0055] Therapeutically effective doses of a subject compound or prodrug or pharmaceutical composition can be determined by one of skill in the art. For example, in some instances, a therapeutically effective dose of a compound or prodrug or pharmaceutical composition is administered with a goal of achieving local (e.g., tissue) concentrations that are at least as high as the IC.sub.50 of an applicable compound disclosed herein.

    [0056] The specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular subject may be varied and may depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the subject compound or prodrug, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound or prodrug, the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and severity of the condition of the host undergoing therapy.

    [0057] In some embodiments, multiple doses of a compound or prodrug are administered. The frequency of administration of a compound can vary depending on any of a variety of factors, e.g., severity of the symptoms, condition of the subject, etc. For example, in some embodiments, a compound is administered once per month, twice per month, three times per month, every other week, once per week (qwk), twice per week, three times per week, four times per week, five times per week, six times per week, every other day, daily (qd/od), twice a day (bds/bid), or three times a day (tds/tid), etc.

    Compositions and Formulations

    [0058] Also provided are compositions comprising a pharmaceutically active compound. In some cases, the composition includes a racemic mixture of stereoisomers. In some embodiments, the composition is enriched in a particular stereoisomer, e.g. the composition is enriched in a first enantiomer relative to a second enantiomer. The term enantiomeric excess is used herein to quantify the relative amount of the first enantiomer compared to the second enantiomer, wherein enantiomeric excess is the absolute difference between the mole fraction of each enantiomer. For instance, if 70% of a compound is a first enantiomer and 30% of the compound is the second enantiomer, then the enantiomeric excess is 40% (i.e. 70% minus 40%). In some cases, the composition has an enantiomeric excess of the first enantiomer of 1% or more, such as 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, or 40% or more. In some embodiments, the composition is an aqueous solution of the compound.

    [0059] In certain embodiments, the disclosed compounds and prodrugs thereof are useful for the treatment of a disease or disorder. Accordingly, pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one disclosed compound or prodrug are also described herein. For example, the present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions that include a therapeutically effective amount of a compound or prodrug of the present disclosure (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate or hydrate or stereoisomer thereof) and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

    [0060] A pharmaceutical composition that includes a subject compound (or prodrug) may be administered to a patient alone, or in combination with other supplementary active agents. For example, one or more compounds or prodrugs according to the present disclosure can be administered to a patient with or without supplementary active agents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be manufactured using any of a variety of processes, including, but not limited to, conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, lyophilizing, and the like. The pharmaceutical composition can take any of a variety of forms including, but not limited to, a sterile solution, suspension, emulsion, spray dried dispersion, lyophilisate, tablet, microtablets, pill, pellet, capsule, powder, syrup, elixir or any other dosage form suitable for administration.

    [0061] A compound or prodrug of the present disclosure may be administered to a subject using any convenient means capable of resulting in the desired reduction in disease condition or symptom. Thus, a compound or prodrug can be incorporated into a variety of formulations for therapeutic administration. More particularly, a compound or prodrug can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions by combination with appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, carriers or diluents, and may be formulated into preparations in solid, semi-solid, liquid or gaseous forms, such as tablets, capsules, powders, granules, ointments, creams, gels, foams, solutions, suppositories, injections, inhalants, aerosols, and the like.

    [0062] Formulations for pharmaceutical compositions are described in, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, by E. W. Martin, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 19th Edition, 1995, which describes examples of formulations (and components thereof) suitable for pharmaceutical delivery of the disclosed compounds. Pharmaceutical compositions that include at least one of the compounds or prodrugs can be formulated for use in human or veterinary medicine. Particular formulations of a disclosed pharmaceutical composition may depend, for example, on the mode of administration and/or on the location of the subject to be treated. In some embodiments, formulations include a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient in addition to at least one active ingredient, such as a compound of the present disclosure. In other embodiments, other medicinal or pharmaceutical agents, for example, with similar, related or complementary effects on the disease or condition being treated can also be included as active ingredients in a pharmaceutical composition.

    [0063] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers useful for the disclosed methods and compositions may depend on the particular mode of administration being employed. In addition to biologically neutral carriers, pharmaceutical compositions to be administered can optionally contain non-toxic auxiliary substances (e.g., excipients), such as wetting or emulsifying agents, preservatives, and pH buffering agents, and the like. The disclosed pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a disclosed compound.

    [0064] The term unit dosage form, as used herein, refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human and animal subjects, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of a compound or prodrug calculated in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, excipient, carrier or vehicle. The specifications for a compound or prodrug depend on the particular compound or prodrug employed and the effect to be achieved, and the pharmacodynamics associated with each compound in the subject.

    [0065] The dosage form of a disclosed pharmaceutical composition may be determined by the mode of administration chosen. For example, in addition to injectable fluids, topical or oral dosage forms may be employed. Topical preparations may include eye drops, ointments, sprays and the like. Oral formulations may be liquid (e.g., syrups, solutions or suspensions), or solid (e.g., powders, pills, tablets, or capsules). Methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in the art.

    [0066] Certain embodiments of the pharmaceutical compositions that include a subject compound or prodrug may be formulated in unit dosage form suitable for individual administration of precise dosages. The amount of active ingredient administered may depend on the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, and the manner of administration, and is known to those skilled in the art. In certain instances, the formulation to be administered contains a quantity of the compound or prodrug disclosed herein in an amount effective to achieve the desired effect in the subject being treated.

    [0067] Each therapeutic compound can independently be in any dosage form, such as those described herein, and can also be administered in various ways, as described herein. For example, the compounds or prodrugs may be formulated together, in a single dosage unit (that is, combined together in one form such as capsule, tablet, powder, or liquid, etc.) as a combination product. Alternatively, when not formulated together in a single dosage unit, an individual compound or prodrug may be administered at the same time as another therapeutic compound or sequentially, in any order thereof.

    Siglec Ligands and Conjugates

    [0069] The term Siglec as used herein refers to cell surface proteins that binds to a sialic acid group. Siglecs are commonly found on the surface of leukocytes.

    [0070] There are 14 different mammalian Siglecs, which are expressed on different types of leukocytes and which may exert inhibitory or activating effects on the cells on which they are expressed depending on whether they comprise an inhibitory motif or activating motif. Siglecs show distinct binding preferences for different sialic acids, and the type of linkage and type of underlying sugar also affect recognition of sialic acids. (Varki, A. and Crocker, P. R. (2009) I-type lectins. In Essentials of Glycobiology (2nd edn) (Varki, A. et al., eds), pp. 459-474, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; Crocker, P. R. et al. (2007) Nat. Rev. Immunol. 7, 255-266). Together, this provides for an array of alternative Siglec ligands that may be deployed to modulate an immune response to a biotherapeutic.

    [0071] Provided by the present disclosure are Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectin ligands, which are also referred to herein as Siglec ligands.

    Siglec Ligands of Formula (I) and Conjugates of Formula (II)

    [0072] In some cases, the Siglec ligand provided by the present disclosure has formula (I):

    ##STR00001## [0073] wherein: [0074] A.sup.1 is absent or alkylene; [0075] A.sup.2 is absent, alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, or a substituted version thereof; [0076] R.sup.2 is COOH, P(O)(OH).sub.2, OSO.sub.2OH, C(O)NHSO.sub.2H, tetrazole, an ester, or a substituted version thereof; [0077] R.sup.3 is H, alkyl, alkoxy, S(alkyl), amino, halo, cyano, ester, amide, or a substituted version thereof; [0078] R.sup.4 is hydroxy, alkoxy, amino, amide, or a substituted version thereof; [0079] R.sup.5 is H, amino, ureido, amide, thioamide, oxamide, NH(cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione), sulfonaamide, phosphoramide, alkylamine, triazole, tetrazole, or substituted version thereof; [0080] R.sup.7 is hydroxy or halo; [0081] X.sup.1 is O, S, triazole, CH(OH), CH.sub.2, CHF, NH, or CF.sub.2; [0082] E.sup.1 is absent, (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.g, (CH.sub.2).sub.g, benzyl, cycloalkyl, or a substituted version thereof, wherein g is an integer ranging from 1 to 10; [0083] Y is absent, alkylene, phenylene, substituted phenylene, O, NH, S, CC, CH.sub.2CC, C(O), OP(O)O, NH-(cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione)-NH, NHC(O), triazole, (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.n, (CH.sub.2).sub.n, wherein n is an integer ranging from 1 to 10; [0084] X.sup.2 is absent, O, NH, C(O)NH, C(O), C(O)O, NHC(O), NHC(O)O, OP(O)(OH)O, NHC(O)NH, (CH.sub.2).sub.m, (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.m, (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.mNHC(O), triazole, or a substituted version thereof, wherein m is an integer ranging from 1 to 10; [0085] E.sup.2 is absent, (CH.sub.2).sub.h, (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.h, (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.hC(O)NH, (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.hNHC(O), -(alkylene)C(O)NH(alkylene)-, -(alkylene)C(O)NH(substituted alkylene)-, -(alkylene)C(O)N(substituted alkylene).sub.2-, CC, or CH.sub.2CC, or a substituted version thereof, wherein h is an integer ranging from 1 to 10; and [0086] Z is Z1 or Z1-T-Z2, wherein Z1 is a chemoselective functional group, wherein Z1 is a diradical group, T is absent or a diradical group, and Z2 is a chemoselective functional group, a salt thereof, or a stereoisomer thereof.

    [0087] As discussed above, R.sup.2 can be COOH, P(O)(OH).sub.2, OSO.sub.2OH, C(O)NHSO.sub.2H, tetrazole, an ester or a substituted version thereof. For example, if R.sup.2 is an ester of COOH, then R.sup.2 could be C(O)O(alkyl) such as C(O)O(ethyl). Similarly, R.sup.2 could be an ester of P(O)(OH).sub.2, such as P(O)(OH)O(alkyl) such as P(O)(OH)O(propyl)

    [0088] As discussed above, the Siglec ligand can have formula (I), or it can be salt of formula (I) or a stereoisomer of formula (I). For example, if R.sup.2 is COOH then the R.sup.2 group could be COO.sup. Na.sup.+, which would be considered herein as a salt of formula (I). As another example, R.sup.5 is described as amino group, such as unsubstituted NH.sub.2. If R.sup.5 is NH.sub.3.sup.+Cl.sup., then the compound would be a salt of formula (I). By stereoisomer thereof, it is meant that a composition could include primarily a particular stereoisomer. For example, the carbon atom that is located at the intersection of the C(R.sup.5) and C(R.sup.7) and O groups is a chiral center, and a composition could include primarily one of the two possible stereoisomers at that chiral center.

    [0089] As discussed above, Z1 is a chemoselective functional group and Z1 is a diradical functional group. For example, Z1 can be a diradical group that is generated when a chemoselective functional group (Z1) is reacted with a corresponding group to form a covalent bond. For example, if Z1 is an alkyne then the Z1 group can be reacted with an azide group through an azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition to form Z1 triazole group that connects the E.sup.2 group to another group. As another example, Z1 can be an alkene group that can reacted with a corresponding tetrazole group through a retro Diels-Alder reaction to form a covalent connection through a pyridazine Z1 group. T can be absent or a diradical group. For example, T can comprise a polyethylene glycol (PEG) group. As such, in some cases the Siglec ligand terminates with a Z1 chemoselective group that can selectively react and form a bond with another group. For instance, Z1 can react with another molecule of formula Z1*-T-Z2, wherein Z1 and Z1* can chemoselectively react to form Z1, thereby giving a group of formula Z1-T-Z2. As such, Z1* is chemoselective partner group to Z1, e.g. Z1 can be azide and Z1* can be alkyne. This methodology allows for modular attachment and usage of chemoselective groups Z1 and Z2.

    [0090] Additionally, in some embodiments of formula (I), the Siglec ligand has: [0091] A.sup.1 is absent or alkylene; [0092] A.sup.2 is absent, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, or a substituted version thereof; [0093] R.sup.2 is COOH, P(O)(OH).sub.2, OSO.sub.2OH, C(O)NHSO.sub.2H, tetrazole, an ester or a substituted version thereof; [0094] R.sup.3 is H, alkoxy, amino, or a substituted version thereof; [0095] R.sup.4 is hydroxy, alkoxy, amino, amide, or a substituted version thereof; [0096] R.sup.5 is amino, ureido, amide, thioamide, oxamide, NH(cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione), sulfonamide or substituted version thereof; [0097] R.sup.7 is hydroxy or halo; [0098] X.sup.1 is O, S, or triazole; [0099] E.sup.1 is absent or (CH.sub.2).sub.g or (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.g, or a substituted version thereof wherein g is an integer ranging from 1 to 10; [0100] Y is alkylene, phenylene, or substituted phenylene; [0101] X.sup.2 is absent or O; and [0102] E.sup.2 is absent, (CH.sub.2).sub.h, (CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.h, (alkylene)C(O)NH(alkylene)-, -(alkylene)C(O)N(substituted alkylene).sub.2-, or (alkylene)C(O)NH(substituted alkylene)-, wherein h is an integer ranging from 1 to 10.

    Aspects of Siglec Ligands and Conjugates Thereof

    [0371] As discussed above, the conjugates provided herein include a Siglec ligand and biologically active substance (BAS). As used herein, the term biologically active substance refers to a substance that causes a change in a biological system when the biological system is contacted with the substance. In some cases, the biologically active substance is a protein. In some cases, the biologically active substance is a biotherapeutic. In some cases, the biologically active substance is an autoantigen.

    Biotherapeutic

    [0372] The term biotherapeutic refers to a composition that is composed of sugars, amino acids, proteins, lipids or nucleic acids or complex combinations of these substances and that is therapeutic in an individual. Examples of biotherapeutics include protein therapeutics (e.g. antibodies, fusion proteins, and enzymes), viral therapeutics (e.g. viral particle), cell therapeutics, and nucleic acid therapeutics (e.g. polypeptides and nucleic acids)

    [0373] Any protein or nucleic acid biotherapeutic may serve as the biotherapeutic that is engineered to become a hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic according to the present disclosure, including, for example, a protein, e.g. an antibody, a fusion protein, an enzyme, a viral particle, a DNA molecule or an RNA molecule. The biotherapeutic may be naturally occurring, for example a naturally occurring protein that is delivered to a patient as a therapeutic, a naturally occurring capsid, etc. The biotherapeutic may be an engineered protein, for example, an antibody therapeutic, a fusion or chimeric protein, i.e. a protein comprising protein domains from two or more different proteins, or an entirely non-natural protein, i.e. having 30% identity or less with any naturally occurring protein across its functional domains (see e.g. Chen et al. (2020) De novo design of protein logic gates. Science 368 (6486): 78-84; and Polizzi et al. (2020) A defined structural unit enables de novo design of small-molecule-binding proteins Science 369 (6508): 1227-1233). In some embodiments, the biotherapeutic is a variant of a naturally occurring protein or a known engineered protein. By variant it is meant a mutant of a protein having less than 100% sequence identity with the protein from which it is derived. For example, a variant protein may be a protein having 60% sequence identity or more with a full length native protein, e.g. 65%, 70%, 75%, or 80% or more identity, such as 85%, 90%, or 95% or more identity, for example, 98% or 99% identity with the full length native protein. Variants also include fragments of naturally occurring proteins, particularly those having comparable or improved activity over the naturally occurring protein. The biotherapeutic may be derived from any source, e.g. human, non-human, or engineered.

    [0374] Of particular interest is the suppression of an immune response to a biotherapeutic, and more particularly, of a B cell response to the biotherapeutic. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the Siglec ligand is a ligand for a Siglec that is expressed on B lymphocytes, for example Siglec-2 (also called CD22), Siglec-5 (CD170), Siglec-6, Siglec-9 (CD329), or Siglec-10 (Siglec-G). In some embodiments, the Siglec is Siglec-2. In some embodiments, the Siglec is Siglec-5. In some embodiments, the Siglec is Siglec-6. In some embodiments, the Siglec is Siglec-9. In some embodiments, the Siglec is Siglec-10. In some embodiments, the hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic has been engineered to comprise the sialic acid ligands for one Siglec. In other embodiments, the hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic has been engineered to comprise the Siglec ligands for two or more Siglecs, e.g. for 3 Siglecs or for 4 Siglecs, in certain cases, for 5 Siglecs. In some cases there are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 15 Siglecs.

    [0375] In some embodiments, the protein is an antibody or fragment thereof, for example a monoclonal antibody, a bispecific antibody, a trispecific antibody, an scFv, a Fab, a camelid nanobody, etc. Nonlimiting examples of antibodies for which the engineering contemplated herein finds particular use include adalimumab and infliximab (for the treatment of autoimmune or an inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, uveitis, or juvenile idiopathic arthritis), cetuximab (for the treatment of cancers, including for example metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer), natalizumab (for the treatment of multiple sclerosis), Lumoxiti/moxetumomab pasudotox (for the treatment of hairy cell leukemia), Tecentriq/atezolizumab (for the treatment of various cancers), Opdivo/Nivolumab (for the treatment of various cancers), Reopro/abciximab (anti-GPIIb/IIIa, for the prevention of thrombosis during and after coronary artery procedures such as angioplasty), Brentuximab (for the treatment of relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL)), Certolizumab pegol (for the treatment of Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis), Elotuzumab (for the treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma), Benralizumab (for the treatment of asthma), Vedolizumab (for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), Galcanezumab (for the treatment of migraines and cluster headaches), Rituximab (for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and various cancer), Alemtuzumab (for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple sclerosis), Dupilumab (for the treatment of allergic diseases such as eczema (atopic dermatitis), asthma and nasal polyps), Golimumab (for the treatment of inflammation), Obinutuzumab (for the treatment of lymphomas, e.g. chronic lymphocytic leukemia, follicular lymphoma), Tildrakizumab (for the treatment of immunologically mediated inflammatory disorders), Erenumab (for the prevention of migraine), Mepolizumab (for the treatment of severe eosinophilic asthma, eosinophilic granulomatosis, and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES)), Ramucirumab (for the treatment of solid tumors), Ranibizumab (for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD, also ARMD), diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema), Ustekinumab (for the treatment of psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis), Reslizumab (for the treatment of asthma), Ipilimumab (for the treatment of various cancers), Alirocumab (for the treatment of high cholesterol), Belimumab (for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)), Panitumumab (for the treatment of various cancers), Avelumab (for the treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma), Necitumumab (for the treatment of metastatic squamous non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)), Mogamulizumab (for the treatment of relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides and Szary disease, relapsed or refractory CCR4+ adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATCLL), and relapsed or refractory CCR4+ cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL)), Olaratumab (for the treatment of solid tumors), Brodalumab (for the treatment of inflammatory diseases), Eculizumab (for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and neuromyelitis optica), Pertuzumab (for the treatment of metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer), Pembrolizumab (for the treatment of various cancers), and Tocilizumab (for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis)

    [0376] In some embodiments, biotherapeutic is an antibody that is not an antibody that is specific for a receptor selected from a B cell receptor (BCR), a receptor for the Fc region of immunoglobulin E (FcIRI), a Toll Like receptor (TLR), a T-cell receptor (TCR), or complexes thereof.

    [0377] As used herein, an antibody that specifically binds to a target antigen refers to an antibody comprising a complementarity determining region (CDR) domain that specifically recognizes and binds to the target antigen. Thus, an antibody that specifically binds to a B cell receptor or complex thereof refers to an antibody comprising a CDR that specifically recognizes and binds to a B cell receptor or a complex comprising a B cell receptor, an antibody that specifically binds to a receptor for the Fc region of IgE refers to an antibody comprising a CDR that specifically recognizes and binds to a receptor for the Fc region of IgE or a complex comprising a receptor for the Fc region of IgE, an antibody that specifically binds to a Toll like receptor refers to an antibody comprising a CDR that specifically recognizes and binds to a Toll-like receptor or a complex comprising a Toll-like receptor, and an antibody that specifically binds to a T-cell receptor refers to an antibody comprising a CDR that specifically recognizes and binds to a T-cell receptor or a complex comprising a T-cell receptor

    [0378] In some embodiments, the protein is a native, or naturally occurring, protein. In other embodiments, the protein is an engineered protein.

    [0379] In some embodiments, biotherapeutic is a protein that is not ovalbumin or immunoglobulin E (IgE)

    [0380] In some embodiments, the protein is an enzyme, for example a metabolic enzyme, a lysosomal enzyme, a protease, a peptidase, etc. Nonlimiting examples of enzymes for which the engineering contemplated herein finds particular use include asparaginase from Erwinia chrysanthemi (for the treatment of leukemia), bacterial IdeS (for immunosuppression following tissue transplantation or in the administration of a therapy, e.g. a gene therapy, for which the patient had preexisting immunity; for treatment of IgG antibody-driven diseases, such as Systemic lupus erythematosus, Pemphigus vulgaris or IgA Nephropathy), bacterial mucinase (for the treatment of MUC+ cancers, e.g. MUC1+ cancers), Factor VIII (for the treatment of Hemophilia A), Factor IX (for the treatment of Hemophilia B), Factor Xa (to promote clotting), a complement degrading protease, e.g. from a pathogen such as a bacterial pathogen or fungal pathogen (e.g. Pseudomonas Elastase (PaE), Pseudomonas Alkaline protease (PaAP), Streptococcal pyrogenic Exotoxin B (SpeB), a gingipain from Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aspergillus Alkaline protease 1 (Alp1), C. albicans Secreted aspartyl proteinases 1 (Sap1), 2 (Sap2), and 3 (Sap3) for the treatment of complement-mediated disease, such as IgA nephropathy), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase or the mimetic pegvaliase (for the treatment of PKU), alpha-galactosidase A (for the treatment of Fabry Disease), acid -glucosidase or the mimetic Alglucosidase alfa (GAA, for the treatment of Pompe Disease), glucocerebrosidase (GCase, for the treatment of Gaucher), aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA, for the treatment of Aspartylglucosaminuria), asfotase (for treatment of hypophosphatasia (HPP)), alpha-L-iduronidase (for the treatment of MPS I), iduronate sulfatase or the iduronate sulfatase mimetic idursulfase (for the treatment of MPS II), sulfaminase (for the treatment of MPS IIIa), -N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU, for the treatment of MPS IIIB), heparin acetyle CoA: -glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT, for the treatment of MPS IIIC), N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase (GNS, for the treatment of MPS IIID), N-glucosamine 3-O-sulfatase (arylsulfatase G or ARSG, for the treatment of MPS IIIE), N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfatase (for the treatment of MPS IVA), beta-galactosidase (for the treatment of MPS IVB), N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (for the treatment of MPS VI), beta-glucuronidase (for the treatment of MPS VI), palmitoyl protein thioesterase (PPT1, for the treatment of Batten disease/CLN1), Tripeptidyl peptidase (TPP1, for the treatment of Batten Disease/CLN2), arginase-1 or pegzilarginase (for the treatment of arginase-1 deficiency), or cystathionine beta synthase or Aeglea product AGLE-177 (for the treatment of cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) deficiency, also known as Classical Homocystinuria)

    [0381] In some embodiments, biotherapeutic is an enzyme that is not Factor VIII.

    [0382] In some embodiments, the protein is a viral protein or a viral particle, for example, a recombinant viral particle. By a recombinant virus or viral particle it is meant a virus/viral particle that comprises a genome comprising a polynucleotide that is heterologous to the virus, i.e., not found in nature to be associated with the capsid/envelope of the virus, wherein the polynucleotide encodes a gene product (RNA or protein). Recombinant viral particles find use in the delivery of polynucleotides that encode a therapeutic gene product for the purpose of gene therapy or oncolytic virus therapy. Gene therapy is a well-established art. Also well-established is the fact that gene therapy is severely hampered by the inability to readminister the same viral therapeutic more than once or a few times, owing to the fact that the viral particle will induce an immune response in an individual. As such, the ordinarily skilled artisan will appreciate that any viral particle used in gene therapy would benefit from engineering as contemplated herein. Nonlimiting examples of viral particles that may serve as the biotherapeutic that is engineered to become a hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic according to the present disclosure include recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) particles, e.g. an rAAV particle comprising a capsid VP1 protein from the group consisting of an AAV1, AAV2, AAV3b, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, AAVrh10, AAV11, AAV12, or AAV13 VP1 protein or a variant or pseudotyped virus thereof; recombinant human adenovirus particles, e.g. an rHAdV particle comprising a capsid protein from rHAdV-A, rHAdV-B, rHAdV-C, rHAdV-D, rHAdV-E, rHAdV-F, or rHAdV-G or a variant thereof; recombinant Herpes Simplex Virus (rHSV) particles, e.g. a rHSV1 or rHSV2 or variant or pseudotyped virus thereof; recombinant papillomavirus (PV) particles; recombinant polyomavirus particles; recombinant vaccinia virus particles; a recombinant cytomegalovirus (CMV) particle; a recombinant baculovirus particle; a recombinant human papillomavirus (HPV) particle; or a recombinant retrovirus particle, e.g. a recombinant lentivirus, recombinant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) particle, Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) particle, Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) particle, Puma lentivirus (PLV) particle, Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) particle, Bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) particle, Caprine arthritis encephalitis virus particle, gammaretrovirus particle, and murine leukemia virus (MLV) particle, or variant or pseudotyped virus thereof.

    [0383] In some embodiments, biotherapeutic is not a toxin. Generally, toxins are compounds that are harmful to cells in generally non-specific manner, i.e. a toxin will cause a similar amount of harm to different cells, even if such cells are from significantly different categories. In contrast, selectively damaging compounds will harm certain cells to a significantly greater degree than the harm inflicted on other types of cells. For instance, the selectively damaging compound can cause harm based on a biochemical process that is common in a lung cell but rare in a kidney cell, whereas a toxin can cause harm based on a biochemical process common to both lung and kidney cells. In some cases, the harm is cell death. In some cases, the toxin is Pseudomonas exotoxin A. In some embodiments, biotherapeutic is not a B cell modulator. Y does not increase or decrease the immune action of a B cell. Examples of modulation of the B cell include differentiation of the B cell into a biotherapeutic-specific mature B cell, e.g. plasma cells or memory cells, preventing B cells from producing antigen-specific antibodies, preventing the upregulation of activation markers such as CD69, promoting a decrease in viability of a biotherapeutic-specific B cell population. In some embodiments, B cell activation is inhibited only for those B cells with a B cell receptor that recognizes Y (in contrast to the entire B cell population recognizing X).

    Autoantigen

    [0384] The term autoantigen (abbreviated as AutoAg) refers to an endogenous molecule present in a subject which the subject's immune system does not recognize as an endogenous molecule (i.e., as a self-antigen) and thus mounts an immune response to the self-antigen. Such an immune response is referred to as an autoimmune response. The autoantigen is encoded by an endogenous gene present in a subject and may be a polypeptide, e.g., a soluble or membrane-localized polypeptide, a lipidated, glycosylated, or otherwise post-translationally modified polypeptide; a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA, RNA); or a complex thereof. In some embodiments, the autoantigen is any autoantigen that elicits a B-cell driven immune response in an individual, where the individual produces B cells that bind to the autoantigen via B-cell receptors (BCRs) and upon binding to the autoantigen differentiate into plasma cells that produce autoantibodies that bind to the autoantigen.

    [0385] In contrast to a biotherapeutic, an autoantigen is a molecule that is endogenously produced by the subject, whereas a biotherapeutic is a molecule that the subject does not produce and is exogenously supplied to the person, e.g., as a polypeptide or a gene encoding the polypeptide. Thus, an immune response to a biotherapeutic is not considered an autoimmune response. Rather, an immune response to a biotherapeutic is a normal immune response. A biotherapeutic may be composed of sugars, amino acids, proteins, lipids or nucleic acids or complex combinations of these substances. Unlike an engineered autoantigen, a biotherapeutic is not intended as an autoimmune-suppressive mimic of a non-suppressive and endogenous disease-driving antigen. Nonlimiting examples of biotherapeutics include protein therapeutics, e.g., antibody therapeutics, fusion protein therapeutics, enzyme therapeutics, viral therapeutics, cell therapeutics, and nucleic acid therapeutics.

    [0386] Specific examples of biotherapeutics include a monoclonal antibody, a bispecific antibody, an scFv, a Fab, a camelid, or a nanobody, e.g., adalimumab, infliximab, cetuximab, natalizumab, moxetumomab pasudotox, atezolizumab, nivolumab, abciximab, Brentuximab, Certolizumab pegol, elotuzumab, benralizumab, vedolizumab, galcanezumab, rituximab, alemtuzumab, dupilumab, golimumab, obinutuzumab, tildrakizumab, erenumab, mepolizumab, tamucirumab, ranibizumab, ustekinumab, reslizumab, ipilimumab, alirocumab, belimumab, panitumumab, avelumab, necitumumab, mogamulizumab, olaratumab, brodalumab, eculizumab, pertuzumab, pembrolizumab, or tocilizumab. In certain embodiments, the biotherapeutic is erythropoietin, thrombopoietin, human growth hormone, tissue factor, IFN-1b, IFN-1a, IL-2 or the IL-2 mimetic aldesleukin, exenatide, albiglutide, alefacept, palifermin, or belatacept.

    [0387] In certain embodiments, the biotherapeutic is an enzyme, such as, asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, alpha-galactosidase A, acid -glucosidase (GAA), glucocerebrosidase (GCase), aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA), alpha-L-iduronidase, iduronate sulfatase, sulfaminase, -N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU), heparin acetyle CoA: -glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase (HGSNAT), N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase (GNS), N-glucosamine 3-O-sulfatase (arylsulfatase G or ARSG), N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfatase, beta-galactosidase, N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase, beta-glucuronidase, Factor VIII, Factor IX, palmitoyl protein thioesterase (PPT1), Tripeptidyl peptidase (TPP1), Pseudomonas elastase (PaE), Pseudomonas alkaline protease (PaAP), or Streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B (SpeB). In certain embodiments, the biotherapeutic is not Factor VIII.

    [0388] In some embodiments, an autoantigen, as provided herein, is a naturally occurring antigen in a healthy individual. Using PANTHER, (Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships), autoantigens can be classified into the following varieties based on function played by the antigen in-vivo that may have a role to play as, for example, an enzyme, intercellular adhesive protein, cell junction protein, cytoskeletal protein, extracellular matrix protein, cellular receptor, transcription or translational protein, gene editing protein, structural protein, or the like.

    [0389] Autoantigens have been found to be associated with several autoimmune disorders. A comprehensive list of disorders and associated autoantigens can be found at the database AAgAtlas 1.0 database accessed by typing into a web browser http followed by ://biokb.ncpsb.org/followed by aagatlas/). Nonlimiting examples of autoantigens and their associated disorders include: p53-associated autoimmune diseases lupus and scleroderma; Desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and 3 autoantigens associated with Pemphigus vulgaris; autoantigens Gliadin and type 2 transglutaminase associated with Celiac disease; autoantigens PDC-E2 (Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex component E2) and BCOADC-E2 (Branched chain 2-oxo-acid dehydrogenase complex component E2) associated with Primary Biliary Cholangitis; autoantigens PLA2R (Phospholipase A2 Receptor) and THSD7A (thrombospondin type-1 domain containing protein 7A) associated with Membranous Nephropathy; autoantigen TSHR (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor) associated with Graves' Disease; autoantigens AChR (Acetylcholine Receptor), MuSK (Muscle-Specific Kinase), and LRP4 (associated with Myasthenia Gravis; and autoantigens associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (e.g., citrullinated peptides and proteins, carbamylated proteins, acetylated proteins) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (e.g., anti-nuclear antibodies, anti-dsDNA antibodies, anti-nucleosome antibodies, and others), and the like.

    [0390] In certain aspects, an engineered autoantigen that suppresses an ongoing autoimmune response to the autoantigen in a subject includes a siglec ligand. The engineered autoantigen is configured to both bind to BCRs on a B cell that recognizes the autoantigen and to bind to a siglec present on the B cell. The autoantigen portion of the engineered autoantigen provides specificity for targeting only B cells that bind to the autoantigen while the siglec ligand, while not specific to a particular B cell clone, may bind to any B cell expressing the siglec, prevents activation of the B cell. In some instances, the siglec ligand provides a therapeutic benefit to the individual by suppressing the individual's immune response to the autoantigen, where the immune response is reduced by 50% or more when the engineered autoantigen is administered to an individual relative to when the individual is administered the non-engineered version of the autoantigen. Further, in some instances, the immune reaction is reduced by 60%, 70%, 80% or more, for example 85%, 90%, 95% or more, in certain cases 98%, 99%, or 100%, i.e., such that the immune response is undetectable, i.e., the autoantigen is rendered nonimmunogenic.

    [0391] In some aspects of the disclosure, an engineered autoantigen is provided, wherein the engineered autoantigen (referred to interchangeably as the clonally immunosuppressive autoantigen, hypoimmunogenic autoantigen, modified autoantigen or simply subject autoantigen) is engineered to have an altered Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectin (Siglec) ligand (sigL) profile.

    [0392] Thus, disclosed herein are engineered autoantigens which may retain the epitope(s) recognized by autoimmune antibodies, while comprising one or more modifications comprising addition of a sigL that render the autoantigen capable of suppressing an antigen-specific immune response in an individual to which it has been administered as compared to the unmodified autoantigen. In some embodiments, the immune response is a humoral immune response i.e., a B cell-driven response, e.g., an IgG response.

    Engineered and Hypoimmunogenic

    [0393] The term engineered refers to a biotherapeutic that has been designed and built to comprise one or more modifications relative to biotherapeutic that has not been so engineered, i.e. a parental biotherapeutic, which is also referred to herein as an unengineered biotherapeutic.

    [0394] By a hypoimmunogenic composition, it is meant a composition that suppresses an unwanted, drug-specific immune response in an individual relative to a reference composition, e.g. a corresponding nonengineered composition, when administered to the individual; for example, reducing an immune response by 50% or more relative to a reference, e.g. a nonengineered biotherapeutic, in some instances 60%, 70%, 80% or more, for example 85%, 90%, 95% or more, in certain cases 98%, 99%, or 100%, i.e. such that the immune response is undetectable, i.e. the biotherapeutic is nonimmunogenic. Thus, disclosed herein are engineered biotherapeutics which retain pharmacologic activity while comprising one or more modifications that render the biotherapeutic capable of suppressing a drug-specific immune response in an individual to which it has been administered as compared to the unmodified biotherapeutic. In some embodiments, the immune response is a humoral immune response i.e., a B cell-driven response, e.g. an IgG response.

    Conjugates with Multiple Siglec Ligands

    [0395] As discussed above, the present disclosure describes conjugates of Siglec ligands of formula (I) or (XI) and a biologically active substance. In some cases, these conjugate includes a single Siglec ligand.

    [0396] In other cases, the conjugates include two or more Siglec ligands and the biologically active substance. In such cases, the conjugates can be indirectly linked to the biologically active substance through a connector (C). Stated in another manner, each of the two or more Siglec ligands can each be covalently bonded to the connector, and the connector can be covalently bonded to the biologically active substance. Likewise, any suitable number of Siglec ligands can be connected to the biologically active substance through the connector (C), such as 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more Siglec ligands.

    [0397] In some cases, a branching location of the connector includes an amino acid residue or a derivative thereof, e.g. lysine or a derivative thereof. Amino acid residues include amino acids commonly found in naturally occurring proteins (e.g., Ala or A, Cys or C, Asp or D, Glu or E, Phe or F, Gly or G, His or H, Ile or I, Lys or K, Leu or L, Met or M, Asn or N, Pro or P, Gln or Q, Arg or R, Ser or S, Thr or T, Val or V, Trp or W, Tyr or Y). In some embodiments, amino acid residues used in the connectors and connector subunits described herein also include amino acid analogs and amino acid derivatives, which are natural amino acids with modified side chains or backbones. Amino acid analogs also include amino acid analogs with the same stereochemistry as in the naturally occurring D-form, as well as the L-form of amino acid analogs. In some instances, the amino acid analogs share backbone structures, and/or the side chain structures of one or more natural amino acids, with difference(s) being one or more modified groups in the molecule. Such modification may include, but is not limited to, substitution of an atom (such as N) for a related atom (such as S), addition of a group (such as methyl, or hydroxyl, etc.) or an atom (such as Cl or Br, etc.), deletion of a group, substitution of a covalent bond (single bond for double bond, etc.), or attachment of another group to the side chain or backbone, or combinations thereof. For example, amino acid analogs may include -hydroxy acids, and -amino acids, and the like. In some instances, an amino acid analog or amino acid derivative can include another group, such as another sialic acid moiety (X), attached to the side chain or backbone of the amino acid analog or amino acid derivative through an optional connector.

    [0398] For instance, the branching location of connector (C) can have the formula shown below, wherein each location marked with an asterisk (*) is a site for heading towards a Siglec group or the biotherapeutic or autoantigen.

    ##STR00031##

    [0399] In some cases, the branching location of the connector (C) does not comprise an aryl group or a heteroaryl group. In some cases, the branching location of the connector (C) comprises an alkyl group, an amide group, an amino acid residue group, or a combination thereof.

    Pharmaceutical Compositions

    [0441] Provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising: [0442] a conjugate as described herein; and [0443] a pharmaceutical excipient.

    [0444] In methods of treating an individual with the subject hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic, the patient will typically be administered a pharmaceutical composition comprising the subject hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic. By a pharmaceutical composition, it is meant an engineered hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic of the present disclosure that has been formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. As used herein, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient includes without limitation any adjuvant, carrier, excipient, glidant, sweetening agent, diluent, preservative, dye/colorant, flavor enhancer, surfactant, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, stabilizer, isotonic agent, solvent, or emulsifier which has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as being acceptable for use in humans or domestic animals.

    [0445] The pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure are administered at a therapeutically effective dosage, e.g., a dosage sufficient to provide treatment for the disease states previously described. Administration of the compounds of the disclosure or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be via any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities. While human dosage levels have yet to be optimized for the compounds of the disclosure, these can be readily extrapolated from doses administered to a relevant animal model, e.g. mice that results in treatment of the disease or disorder in that animal model. Generally, an individual human dose is from about 0.01 to 2.0 mg/kg of body weight, preferably about 0.1 to 1.5 mg/kg of body weight, and most preferably about 0.3 to 1.0 mg/kg of body weight. Treatment can be administered for a single day or a period of days, and can be repeated at intervals of several days, one or several weeks, or one or several months. Administration can be as a single dose (e.g., as a bolus) or as an initial bolus followed by continuous infusion of the remaining portion of a complete dose over time, e.g., 1 to 7 days. The amount of active compound administered will, of course, be dependent on any or all of the following: the subject and disease state being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner and schedule of administration and the judgment of the prescribing physician. It will also be appreciated that amounts administered will depend upon the molecular weight of the biotherapeutic, the amount of Siglec ligand covalently bound, and the size of the linker.

    [0446] While all typical routes of administration are contemplated (e.g. oral, topical, transdermal, injection (intramuscular, intravenous, or intra-arterial)), it is presently preferred to provide liquid dosage forms suitable for injection. Generally, depending on the intended mode of administration, the pharmaceutically acceptable composition will contain about 0.1% to 95%, preferably about 0.5% to 50%, by weight of the subject hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic of the disclosure, the remainder being suitable pharmaceutical excipients, carriers, etc. Dosage forms or compositions containing active ingredient in the range of 0.005% to 95% with the balance made up from non-toxic carrier can be prepared.

    [0447] The subject pharmaceutical compositions can be administered either alone or in combination with other pharmaceutical agents. These compositions can include other medicinal agents, pharmaceutical agents, carriers, and the like, including, but not limited to other active agents that can act as immune-modulating agents and more specifically can have inhibitory effects on B-cells, including anti-folates, immune suppressants, cyostatics, mitotic inhibitors, and anti-metabolites, or combinations thereof.

    [0448] Liquid pharmaceutically administrable compositions can, for example, be prepared by dissolving, dispersing, etc. an active composition of the disclosure (e.g., a lyophilized powder) and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in a carrier, such as, for example, water (water for injection), saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, glycols, ethanol or the like (excluding galactoses), to thereby form a solution or suspension. If desired, the pharmaceutical composition to be administered can also contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting agents, emulsifying agents, stabilizing agents, solubilizing agents, pH buffering agents and the like, for example, sodium acetate, sodium citrate, cyclodextrine derivatives, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine acetate and triethanolamine oleate, etc., osmolytes, amino acids, sugars and carbohydrates, proteins and polymers, salts, surfactants, chelators and antioxidants, preservatives, and specific ligands. Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Press, 22nd Edition, 2012. The composition or formulation to be administered will, in any event, contain a quantity of the active compound in an amount effective to treat the symptoms of the subject being treated.

    Methods of Manufacture

    [0449] Also provided are methods of making the conjugates disclosed herein. Provided is a method of making a conjugate, comprising: [0450] covalently attaching a Siglec ligand as described herein to a biologically active substance, [0451] thereby making the conjugate.

    [0452] As discussed above, in some cases the conjugate includes two or more Siglec ligands. In some cases, the conjugate includes two or more Siglec ligands that are each covalently bonded to a connector (C), and the connector is covalently bonded to the biologically active substance. In such cases, the method includes covalently bonding each of the two or more Siglec ligands to the connector and covalently bonding the connector to the biologically active substance. The covalently bonding of the Siglec ligands can happen first, or the covalently bonding to the biologically active substance can happen first.

    [0453] Methods of covalently binding Siglec ligands to biologically active substances (e.g. biotherapeutics) or connectors are well appreciated in the art, any of which may be deployed to modify a biotherapeutic of choice to become an engineered hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutic of the present disclosure. For example, the modification may be performed by engineered biosynthesis. By biosynthesis, it is meant a synthesis process that is mediated by cells. For example, in the Golgi apparatus, a subset of the 20 known sialyltransferases attach sialic acids to underlying monosaccharides such as galactose via three different types of linkage (2,3, 2,6, and 2,8). By engineered biosynthesis, it is meant a synthesis process that is mediated by cells that have been engineered to perform the process, in some instances de novo, in other instances, in a modified way. Thus, for example, a producer cell line may be genetically engineering to express one or more sialyl transferases, e.g. sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99), beta-galactosamide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.1), alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminide alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.3), beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.4), N-acetyllactosaminide alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.6), alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.8); lactosylceramide alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.9), or other enzymes in an enzymatic pathway, e.g. CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase, sialate-4-O-acetyl transferase, sialate-4-O-acetylesterase, sialate-7(9)-O-acetyltransferase, sialate-8-O-methyl transferase, sialate-9-)-acetyltransferase, etc. that drives the covalent binding of a specific sialic acid to the biotherapeutic or that targets specific novel amino acid residues for covalent modification with sialic acid. As another example, a producer cell line could be fed a precursor substrate that will be incorporated by the producer line into the manufactured biotherapeutic as a specific Siglec ligand. Any producer cell that finds use in the expression of proteins for use as therapeutic biotherapeutics may be used in this process, for example a mammalian cell (CHO, HEK, etc.), an insect cell (SF9, etc.), a bacterium, a protozoan (Leishmania, etc.). as disclosed in, e.g. WO2017093291, WO2019002512, WO2019234021, the full disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

    [0454] As another example, the modification may be performed by chemical conjugation. By chemical conjugation, it is meant a process that occurs exogenous to a cell. Thus, for example, the Siglec ligand might be enzymatically or chemically linked to the biotherapeutic after biosynthesis from producer cell line. Nonlimiting examples of such in vitro processes are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,220,555, 6,376,475B, and 5,409,817, the full disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. In some such embodiments, a connector may be deployed to covalently link the sialic acid to the biotherapeutic. Many examples of connector exist in the art, any of which may be used to chemically conjugate sialic acid(s) to the biotherapeutic to arrive at hypoimmunogenic biotherapeutics of the present disclosure.

    [0455] As a third example, specifically directed to embodiments in which the Siglec ligand is a peptide or polypeptide sequence, e.g. an scFv or peptide derived from epratuzumab, e.g. PV1, PV2 or PV3, the modification may be performed by genetic engineering of the biotherapeutic to comprise the peptide/polypeptide sequence within the biotherapeutic. For example, the polynucleotide used to produce the biotherapeutic may be modified by standard molecular biology cloning techniques to include a polynucleotide sequence encoding the peptide/polypeptide in the same translational reading frame (In frame), such that upon transcription and translation of the biotherapeutic in a producing cell, the biotherapeutic will comprise the peptide/polypeptide sequence covalently associated with amino acids that make up the biotherapeutic, resulting in a biotherapeutic that is hypoimmunogenic. Preferably, the peptide/polypeptide sequence will be genetically engineered into a domain of the biotherapeutic that is not responsible for the therapeutic effect of the biotherapeutic, e.g. the enzymatic domain of an enzyme, the Fab or more specifically CDR domains of an antibody, etc. In the instance of modifying a viral particle, the peptide/polypeptide sequence will preferably be genetically engineered into a capsid or envelop protein so as to be exposed to the exterior of the viral particle, e.g. into an exposed loop of a viral capsid protein, a surface-exposed tegument protein, etc. Such structural features are well understood by one of ordinary skill in the art of viral therapies.

There are many instances of such conditions, of which a few nonlimiting examples are provided below and elsewhere. It is expected that the ordinarily skilled artisan will be able to extrapolate from these examples to other indications and biotherapeutics as known in the art.

    [0467] As another example, the individual may be suffering from disease that would benefit from a gene therapy, e.g. a genetic disease, or a complex disease (i.e. not restricted to being associated with a specific genetic etiology) in which chronic expression of a therapeutic RNA or protein would treat the condition. In such instances, the method would comprise administering to the individual an engineered hypoimmunogenic viral particle comprising a polynucleotide sequence (a transgene) encoding the therapeutic gene product of interest, in an amount effective to treat the disease.

    Example 2: Binding Properties of Compounds

    Purpose

    [1427] To characterize the binding affinities of the synthetic Siglec compounds by surface plasmon resonance (SPR).

    Materials and Methods

    [1428] The following proteins were used for CD22 ligand binding: biotinylated human Siglec-2/CD22 protein-His-Avitag (Acro Biosystems, Cat #SI2-H82E3), biotinylated mouse Siglec-2-Fc-Avi (in-house production), and recombinant cynomolgus Siglec-2/CD22 His-tag (R&D systems, Cat #9864-SL-050). Prior to immobilization, CD22 proteins were treated with SialoExo (Genovis, Cat #G1-SM1-020) for 4 hours at 37 C. to remove native sialic acid residues.

    [1429] Capture of biotinylated CD22 constructs was performed using a Cytiva SA chip (BR100398) on a Biacore 8K instrument. Human Siglec 2 was immobilized on channels 1-4 and mouse Siglec 2 on channels 5-8 on the active flow cell (2) and the reference flow cell (1) was immobilized with biotinylated human FGFR2 Fc Avi, an unrelated protein, to account for any nonspecific binding. Human Siglec 2 and Mouse Siglec 2 were diluted in running buffer to 20 ug/mL and injected on the active flow cell (2) for 300 seconds at 5 L/min, yielding about 3500 RU of captured constructs.

    [1430] Surface preparation for cyno CD22 protein consisted of amine coupling to Cytiva CM5 chip (Cytiva, Cat #BR100530) using the Cytiva amine coupling kit Type 2 (Cytiva, Cat #BR100633). Following the standard amine coupling protocols, EDC and NHS from the kit were mixed 1:1 and injected over flow cells 1 and 2. Cyno CD22 was then immobilized by injecting 10 ug/mL in Sodium Acetate, pH 5.5 onto flow cell (2) for 420 seconds at 10 uL/min, yielding approximately 2500 RU of captured protein. Any active carboxy groups were then capped with 1M Ethanolamine, pH 8.5 for 420s on flow cells 1 and 2.

    [1431] Binding experiments of Siglec-ligand conjugated proteins or Siglec ligand compounds were performed on the surfaces prepared above in 10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20, pH 7.5, 1% DMSO as the running buffer. Compounds were serially diluted in running buffer from 50 M to 97.6 nM and injected over both the reference and active flow cells for 90 seconds at 30 L/min. The compounds were then allowed to dissociate from the surface for 120 seconds. No regeneration was required as the compounds completely dissociated from the surface after 30 seconds. Solvent correction was performed using 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% DMSO spike into running buffer without DMSO. Siglec-ligand conjugated proteins were injected in a similar manner from 2 M to 31.25 nM and the surface was regenerated with 4 M MgCl.sub.2. Data was analyzed using steady-state analysis in Biacore Insight Evaluation Software, version 3.0 for Siglec ligand compounds.

    Example 3: Analysis of Synthetic CD22 Binding Specificity Across Various Siglec Receptor Family Members

    Purpose

    [1433] The purpose of this study was to examine Siglec ligand specificity for Siglec-2 in comparison to other Siglec family members. A competitive bead-based flow cytometry assay was developed to assess selectivity of CD22 ligands for Siglec proteins. Briefly, the assay employs a streptavidin bead coated with biotinylated CD22 ligand. The beads are then incubated with human Siglec-2-AF647 at a low concentration and competitive unlabeled Siglec proteins were added. A decrease in Siglec-2-AF647 indicates competitive binding of the CD22 ligand beads with the unlabeled Siglec protein.

    Materials and Methods

    [1434] The following recombinant Siglec proteins were obtained from commercial sources: human Siglec-2-Fc fusion (R&D systems, Cat. No. 1968-SL-050), human Siglec-3-Fc fusion (Acro Biosystems, Cat. No. CD3-H5257), human Siglec-4a-Fc fusion (Acro Biosystems, Cat. No. MAG-H5254), human Siglec-15-Fc fusion (Acro Biosystems, Cat. No. SG5-H5253), Mouse Siglec-1-Fc fusion (R&D systems, Cat. No. 5610-SL-50), and human Siglec-2-Fc fusion labeled with AF647 (R&D systems, Cat. No. AFR1968-020)

    [1435] Dynabeads M280 Streptavidin-coated beads (20 l of 6.710.sup.8 beads per mL, Thermo Scientific, Cat. No. 11205D) were washed with (/) phosphate buffered saline containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% sodium azide (FACS buffer), centrifuged beads at 350 g for 1 min and aspirated the supernatant. Beads were resuspended in 200 l of FACS buffer and then incubated with biotinylated-CD22 ligand (5 M) overnight at 4 C. Separate beads were coated for each CD22 ligand tested.

    [1436] In a 96-well U-bottom plate, human Siglec-2 Fc AF647 at a fixed concentration of 10 nM was added to an increasing titration (0-200 nM) of non-fluorescently labeled human Siglec-2 Fc protein (no AF647) in FACS buffer. Additional conserved human Siglec proteins were tested at the following concentrations: mouse Siglec-1 Fc at 150 nM; human Siglec-3-Fc at 200 nM; human Siglec-4-Fc at 200 nM; human Siglec-15-Fc at 200 nM. CD22 ligand-beads were washed and resuspended in FACS buffer.

    [1437] Approximately 33,500 CD22 ligand-beads were added per well and mixed by pipette. After 60 min at room temperature, protected from light, samples were analyzed by flow cytometry at 150 events per sec. Flow cytometry was performed on a Biorad ZE5 analyzer and data was processed using FlowJo LLC. The single bead populations were gated out to obtain the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of AF647, which indicates binding of the human Siglec-2 Fc-AF647 to the surface of the CD22 ligand-conjugated bead. MFI values were used to generate binding curves (variable slope four parameters) in GraphPad Prism.

    Results and Conclusions

    [1438] FIG. 1A shows a scheme for the competitive Siglec assay where a fixed concentration of human Siglec-2-Fc-AF647 is incubated with CD22 ligand-bead and a competitor Siglec-Fc fusion protein. FIG. 1B shows the percent binding of the AF647-labeled human Siglec-2 high concentrations of competitive Siglec protein (mouse Siglec-1 Fc at 150 nM; human Siglec-3-Fc at 200 nM; human Siglec-4-Fc at 200 nM; human Siglec-15-Fc at 200 nM) to the various CD22 ligand-beads. Each of the CD22 ligands examined demonstrated a decrease in binding of the human Siglec-2-Fc-AF647 where a high concentration of unlabeled human Siglec-2-Fc fusion was present, indicating that CD22-ligands bind human Siglec-2-Fc fusion.

    [1439] Human Siglec 3,4a, 15, and mouse Siglec-1 was also tested for competitive displacement of AF647-label Siglec-2. Those Siglecs showed no significant levels of AF647-labeled Siglec-2 signal decreases, indicating that they do not bind to the CD22 ligands. An isotype control antibody was also used as a competitor protein and confirmed that binding was specific for Siglec and not Fc fusion (data not shown). Overall, this panel of CD22 ligands shows high specificity for Siglec-2 and does not show binding to other Siglec proteins tested.

    Materials and Methods

    [1440] For antibody expression, the ExpiFectamine 293 Transfection kit (Life Technologies, A14524) was used to transfect suspension Expi293F cells (Life Technologies, A14527) with Heavy Chain and Light Chain plasmids (pTT5-based) at a 1:1 ratio. Media was harvested 3-6 days post-transfection by centrifugation and filtered using 0.2 m PES vacuum sterile single-use filter unit (ThermoScientific, Cat. No. 5670020)

    [1441] Purification was performed with 1.5 mL MabSelect Sure resin (Cytiva/GE Cat #: 17-5438-03) for each 250 mL culture supernatant. Briefly, each column was equilibrated with PBS pH 7.2 and loaded with culture supernatant. After the loading step, the column was washed with PBS pH 7.2 and eluted with 10 mL IgG Elution buffer (Thermo Scientific, Cat. No. 21004). The pH of the elution pool was adjusted with 1 mL 1 M Sodium Phosphate pH 6.5 for each 10 mL elution pool. Finally, buffer exchange was performed with PBS pH 7.2 using a 30 kDa Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter Unit.

    [1442] Analysis of endotoxin content was performed using the Charles River Endosafe PTS 0.01-1 EU/ml detection. Size exclusion chromatography was performed on an Agilent Chemstation HPLC-SEC with a Sepax-Zenix SEC-300, 200 mm7.8 mm ID, 3 uM column. Capillary gel electrophoresis (cGE) was performed on a Caliper LabChip GXII Protein 200 with the Perkin Elmer Chip (Cat. No. 760499). LC-MS analysis was performed on SciEX LC 5600+, ExionLC AD, Analyst TF 1.8.1 with an Agilent AdvanceBio Desalting-RP, Column 1000A, 10 m.

    Protein-Sigtlec Ligand Conjugation

    [1443] Pentafluorophenyl (PFP) conjugatable Siglec Ligand linker was added to reaction mixtures at a molar ratio of 4-30 times above protein based on desired degree of labeling in the presence of 10% v/v of 50 mM Sodium Tetraborate pH 8.5 and 10% v/v DMSO. Reactions were incubated for 3 hours at 25 C. After the 3 h incubation period, 10% v/v of 1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.0 was added to quench the unreacted linker-payload. Neutralized reactions were then allowed to incubate at 25 C. for 15 min.

    Protein-Sigtlec Ligand Conjugation to Site-Specific Cysteines

    [1444] Two different mutation sites were employed in the heavy chain region of the antibodies to incorporate new cysteine sites, L443C and K290C. The cysteine-engineered protein was diluted in a solution containing 1 mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and 100 mM HEPES at pH 7.0. To this mixture, tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) was added in a 20-fold molar excess above protein. The resulting mixture was incubated at 37 C. for 2 h. After incubation, excess TCEP was removed using a desalting column equilibrated with PBS at pH 7.2.

    [1445] The reduced protein was then re-oxidized in a solution containing 100 mM HEPES at pH 7.0, 1 mM DTPA, and 2 mM dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), and incubated at 4 C. for 16 h. Maleimide-conjugatable Siglec Ligand linkers in 10% v/v dimethylacetamide (DMA) were added to the reaction mixtures at a molar ratio of 10-60 times above protein, based on the desired degree of labeling. Reactions were incubated at 25 C. for 2 h. After the incubation period, 10% v/v of 100 mM reduced glutathione at pH 7.0 was added to quench any unreacted maleimide linkers. The neutralized reactions were incubated at 25 C. for an additional 15 min.

    Protein Sigtlec-Ligand Conjugate Purification

    [1446] Quenched conjugation reactions are purified by preparative size exclusion chromatography at 4 C. using either Superdex 200 Increase 10/300 GL or HiLoad 16/600 Superdex 200 pg at a flow rate of 0.75 mL/min, with PBS pH 7.2.

    Analysis of Protein-Sigtlec Ligand Conjugates

    [1447] The LDR, or Ligand-to-Drug ratio, was measured for each conjugate preparation by LC/MS, by evaluating the relative abundances of species varying in the degree of conjugation, as described here. Random conjugation methods (to lysine/amines in this case) result in a mixture of species varying in the degree of conjugation per adalimumab species. Such a series of molecular species can be represented as:

    [00001] .Math. i = 1 m [ X n L ] i Y

    [1448] In this statement, each biotherapeutic, Y (adalimumab, in this case), is covalently bound to a Siglec Ligand as defined by X.sub.nL, where X is a sialic acid species of valency, n, with a Siglec Ligand-to-biotherapeutic ratio that varies between 1 and m. All species have the same Sialic Acid valency, n (monovalent, bivalent, or trivalent)

    [1449] As a total measure of the degree of conjugation in such an ensemble of species with varying degrees of conjugation, the LDR can be defined as follows: LDR is a weighted average of the individual Siglec ligand-to-biotherapeutic ratios (integer value m) in a mixture of species varying in said ratio, and P.sub.i(0P.sub.i1, with .sub.i=1.sup.nP.sub.i=1) representing the fractional abundance of each species in the mixture:

    [00002] LDR = .Math. i = 1 n P i m i

    [1450] Protein-siglec ligand conjugates were analyzed using the following parameters.

    Example 5: Suppression of B Cell Receptor-Mediated Activation of Mouse Primary B Cells by Siglec Ligand-Anti-IgD Antibody Conjugates

    Purpose and Introduction

    [1466] The purpose of this experiment was to test for suppressive effects on mouse B cell activation of B cell receptor (BCR) agonist IgG-Siglec Ligand conjugates.

    [1467] The platform technology invention described herein rests on the premise that activation of B cells through their clonotypic B cell receptor can be suppressed through physical recruitment of the CD22/Siglec-2 inhibitory coreceptor to co-engaged B cell receptor. CD22 recruited to the B cell receptor is phosphorylated on its ITIM cytoplasmic motif tyrosines by virtue of its proximity to the high local protein kinase activity at the B cell receptor. Phosphorylated CD22 then recruits phosphatases, such as SHP-1 and SHP-2, to the cell surface, in proximity of the B cell activation complex. Such elevated local phosphatase activity dephosphorylates components of the B cell activation complex necessary for B cell activation, thus shutting down responses to B cell receptor engagement. Under normal circumstances, the Siglec-2 immunoinhibitory mechanism acts as a check on aberrant B cell activation, safeguarding against autoreactive antibody production, hyperinflammation, and autoimmunity. The described platform technology invention exploits this natural phenomenon to cloak foreign proteins as self, dampening B cell activation only on nave B cell clones that are specific for the given foreign protein and thus blocking immunoglobulin production against the foreign protein, while leaving B cell responses to other antigens intact.

    [1468] The high diversity of primary B cell populations, and high diversity of B cell receptor sequences and clones (as high as 10.sup.12 per human), presents a challenge for studying BCR agonism in vitro with a single, well-defined BCR antigen. For this reason, pan-BCR activators, such as anti-IgD or anti-IgM antibodies, that can bind, crosslink, and activate the BCRregardless of B cell/BCR clonalityare used to evaluate BCR activation in vitro. In the experiments described in this example, an anti-mouse IgD monoclonal antibody is used either in parental IgG form or as IgG-Siglec-Ligand conjugates to study the effects of Siglec-2-B cell receptor co-engagement on B cell activation.

    [1469] To control for impacts of anti-IgD conjugation on BCR binding potency, competition binding assays were used to assess binding activity of Siglec Ligand conjugates and ensure that apparent suppressive effects were due to Siglec-2BCR co-engagement and not a general damaging of anti-IgD for receptor binding.

    Materials & MethodsIn Vitro Murine B-Cell Activation and Surface IgD Competition Assays

    [1470] Anti-IgD and Anti-IgD-Siglec Ligand test articles were prepared as described in Example 4.

    [1471] Splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice were harvested into single cell suspension, subjected to red cell lysis using ACK buffer, and plated at a concentration of 200,000 cells per well in round bottom 96 well plates in complete RPMI media. Cells were stimulated by the addition of increasing concentration of anti-mouse IgD or Siglec ligand-conjugated anti-mouse IgD and incubated for 3 hours at 37 C., 5% CO.sub.2. Cell activation was assessed by flow cytometry.

    [1472] To measure B cell activation following the described stimulation, cells were washed twice by centrifugation at 350 g for 5 minutes and adding staining buffer (1% bovine serum albumin/0.1% sodium azide/1phosphate buffered saline). Cells were then resuspended in staining buffer and incubated with Fc-block (Biolegend) for five minutes before the addition of anti-CD45, anti-CD19, anti-CD69, and anti-CD86 antibodies (BD Biosciences, Biolegend, Fisher). Cells were then incubated in the dark for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then washed three times with staining buffer and analyzed on ZE5 (BioRad). Data analysis was performed using FlowJo (v10.8.0) software.

    General Gating Strategy:

    [1473] 1. Lymphocyte gate set on FSC 488 10-A/SSC 488-10-A [1474] 2. Single cells gate set on FSC 488 10-H/FSC 488-10-A [1475] 3. CD45+ gate set on CD45-FITC+ population using CD45-FITC-A/SSC 488-10-A [1476] 4. % CD69+ gate set on CD69-Alexa647-A/CD19-BV421-A [1477] 5. Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) gate is set on CD19+ cells using CD69-Alexa647-A/CD19-BV421-A

    [1478] Competition binding analysis of Siglec ligand-conjugated anti-mouse IgD and anti-mouse IgD binding was performed on splenocytes that were harvested as described above. Cells were prepared at a concentration of 410.sup.6 cells/mL in staining buffer and then incubated with mouse Fc-block (BD Biosciences) for five minutes. Following this incubation, anti-CD19 and anti-CD45 antibodies were added. Cells were plated at 50 L per well (200,000 cells/well) in round bottom 96 well plates in staining buffer. Anti-mouse-IgD-AlexaFluor647 at a fixed concentration of 2.88 nM and an increasing titration (0-40 nM) of non-fluorescently labeled Siglec ligand-conjugated anti-mouse IgD was added to the cells simultaneously. Cells were placed on ice for 30 minutes in the dark. Afterwards, cells were washed twice by centrifugation with staining buffer and antibody binding was analyzed using flow cytometry (ZE5, BioRad) and measuring the AlexaFluor647 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of at least 10,000 cells.

    Results and Conclusions

    [1479] FIGS. 2A and 2B depict an in vitro primary mouse B cell activation assay testing for the importance of CD22 engagement for Siglec Ligand-conjugate-mediated suppression of B cell receptor activation. Mouse primary B cells were treated with either a B cell receptor agonizing anti-IgD antibody or various anti-IgD-Siglec Ligand conjugates. In this case, conjugates (NHC041, NHC053, NHC086, NHC103, NHC111, and NHC112) carried derivatives of molecules 41, 53, 86, 103, 110, 111 or 112 covalently coupled to anti-IgD antibody using lysine chemistry as described in Example 4. The anti-IgD antibodies were conjugated at an LDR of 10 and a competition binding assay was used to confirm that anti-IgD binding was maintained. No significant changes in binding affinity were observed with the anti-IgD conjugates with the high degree of labeling (data not shown), indicating that any suppression observed was not due to inhibition of IgD binding.

    [1480] Where parental anti-IgD antibody induces a strong, concentration-dependent increase in % CD69-positive cells and in CD69 MFI, Siglec Ligand-anti-IgD conjugates show varying degrees of suppression. Moreover, the degree of ADA suppression correlates well with the affinity of the CD22-ligand that is conjugated to the anti-IgM. Overall, these results supported that higher affinity Siglec Ligands generally increased suppression of BCR activation through Siglec-2/CD22 co-engagement activity.

    Example 6: Suppression of B Cell Receptor-Mediated Activation of Human Primary B Cells by Siglec Ligand-Anti-IgM Antibody Conjugates

    Purpose

    [1481] The purpose of this experiment was to test for suppressive effects on human B cell activation with B cell receptor agonist IgG-Siglec Ligand conjugates. This experiment is analogous to the one described in Example 5, with the focus here on primary human, PBMC-derived B cells, rather than the primary mouse splenocytes. In addition to the human comparison, this experiment sought to further differentiate the ADA suppression capacity of CD22 ligands by using a lower LDR anti-IgM antibody.

    Materials and Methods

    [1482] Anti-IgM and Anti-IgM-Siglec Ligand test articles were prepared as described in Example 4. In this case, the anti-IgM constructs were site-specifically conjugated at the heavy chain site K290C to an LDR of 2.

    [1483] Human PBMCs (StemExpress) were plated at a concentration of 200,000 cells per well in round bottom 96 well plates in complete RPMI media. Cells were stimulated for 18 hours by the addition of increasing concentration of anti-human IgM or Siglec ligand-conjugated anti-human IgM. B cell activation was assessed by flow cytometry.

    [1484] To measure B cell activation following the described stimulation, cells were washed twice by spinning cells at 1200 rpm for 5 minutes and rinsing with PBS. Cells were resuspended in staining buffer (1% bovine serum albumin/0.1% sodium azide/1phosphate buffered saline) and incubated with Fc-block (BD Biosciences) for five minutes before the addition of anti-CD45, anti-CD19, anti-CD69, and anti-CD86 antibodies (BD Biosciences, Biolegend, Fisher). Cells were incubated in the dark for an additional 30 minutes at room temperature, then washed three times with staining buffer and then analyzed on ZE5 (BioRad). Data analysis was performed using FlowJo (v10.8.0) software.

    [1485] Competition of Siglec ligand-conjugated anti-human IgM binding was carried out on human PBMCs from the same donors used in assays described above. For this assay, cells were seeded at a concentration of 200,000 cells per well in round bottom 96 well plates in complete RPMI media. Cells were subsequently incubated with human Fc-block (BD Biosciences) for five minutes. Following this incubation period, 2.4 nM anti-human-IgM-AlexaFluor647 was added to the cells along with RPMI alone or an increasing titration of non-fluorescently labeled Siglec ligand-conjugated anti-human IgM and anti-CD19. Cells were incubated at 4 C. for 30 minutes in the dark. After incubation, cells were washed twice by centrifugation with staining buffer (1% bovine serum albumin/0.1% sodium azide/1phosphate buffered saline) and antibody binding was analyzed by flow cytometry (ZE5, BioRad) by determination of the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of at least 5,000 cells.

    Results and Conclusions

    [1486] FIG. 3A shows representative B cell stimulatory activities of anti-IgM and anti-IgM-CD22 Ligand conjugates in dose titration experiments with an activation readout of CD69 upregulation. CD69 levels on the different treatment groups are evaluated through the percentage of cells that are CD69-positive. The table below shows a summary of all the compounds tested in the assay with the percentage of cells that are CD69-positive at 150 nM.

    [1487] Where parental anti-IgM IgG induces a strong, concentration-dependent increase in % CD69-positive cells and in CD69 MFI, Siglec Ligand-anti-IgD conjugates show very strongly suppressed activation. The degree of suppression increases with affinity of CD22 ligand. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3B, there is no interference of the conjugates with IgM binding, so the suppression is not a reflection of decreased IgM binding. Importantly, these data show translation of the suppressive effect of Siglec-2 Ligand conjugates between a primary human B cell system and those shown in a primary mouse B cell system.

    Example 7: In Vivo Suppression of Anti-Drug Antibody in Mice Treated with Siglec Ligand-Adalimumab Conjugates at LDR 10

    Purpose

    [1488] The purpose of this experiment was to test for suppression of immunogenicity in mice dosed with adalimumab-Siglec-2 ligand conjugates. Parental adalimumab hIgG1 is highly immunogenic in mice, with a strong immunoglobulin response after a single dose. This and subsequent examples set out to corroborate the in vitro B cell suppressive effects shown in Examples 5 and 6 with in vivo assessment of effects on immunogenicity for Siglec Ligand conjugates with different proteins. This initial experiment served as a dose-range finding study for a few select ligands with a range of affinities.

    Materials and Methods

    [1489] Adalimumab and Adalimumab-Siglec Ligand conjugates were prepared as described in Example 4 with pentafluorophenyl (PFP) conjugation to native lysine residues to an LDR of 10.

    [1490] To evaluate the production of antibodies specific to adalimumab and/or adalimumab-Siglec Ligand conjugates, C57BL/6 mice were immunized through subcutaneous injections with adalimumab or CD22 ligand-conjugated adalimumab. On study day 1, animals were randomized into treatment groups based on body weight. On study day 0, animals were bled for baseline serum and then injected IV with adalimumab or the adalimumab-Siglec Ligand conjugates. The individual antigens were prepared by making antigen solution in sterile PBS pH 7.4. Animals were then injected with 0.2 mL of the 1.25 mg/mL, 0.375 mg/mL, or 0.0375 mg/mL antigen subcutaneously weekly (days 0, 7, 14, 21) with 0.1 mL on each side of the rear flank near base of tail. The total dose based on a 25 g mouse would be 10, 3, or 0.3 mg/kg. Animals were bled via the retro-orbital sinus weekly (days 6, 13, 20) throughout the study under inhaled isoflurane anesthesia. On study day 28, animals were anesthetized with inhaled isoflurane anesthesia and then bled via cardiac puncture and then sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Whole blood was collected into Microvette EDTA capillary collection tubes (Sarstedt Inc) and then further processed following the manufacturer's instructions for serum collection. Samples were stored at 80C until analysis was performed.

    [1491] ADA assays were performed on 96-well assay plates (Nunc Plates, Black 96-Well Immuno Plates, Thermo Scientific, Cat. No. 437111) coated with antigen, as follows. A mixture of adalimumab and adalimumab conjugates was coated at 5 g/ml of each, with 100 L/well. All coated antigens were diluted in PBS pH 7.2 and incubated overnight at 4 C. The following day, plate coating solution was removed, and plates were blocked with 200 L/well of 3% BSA, 20 M EDTA, 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Serum samples were diluted 1:185 in 3% BSA, 20 M EDTA, 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS and added in three-fold serial dilutions. Plates were incubated 1 hour at room temperature, then washed with PBS buffer with 0.05% Tween-20. After washing, 100 L of 1:2500 diluted Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG(H+L)-HRP (SouthernBiotech, Cat. No. 6411-05) was added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing the assay plates, 100 L of QuantaBlu Substrate Solution (Thermo Scientific, Cat. No. 15169) was added to each well and incubated for 15 minutes. The excitation and emission settings for the QuantaBlu Fluorogenic Peroxide Substrates are 325 nm and 420 nm and the relative florescence units were measured using a SpectraMax plate reader. Serum dilution curves were generated for days 7, 14, 21, and 28. The titer cut point was determined by calculating the mean of the nave, untreated mice and adding twice the standard deviation of the untreated samples.

    Results and Conclusions

    [1492] FIG. 4 shows the ADA titers of mice dosed at 10, 3, and 0.3 mg/kg at day 20, post 3.sup.rd dose (FIG. 4A) and day 27, post 4.sup.th dose (FIG. 4B). Adalimumab clearly shows high ADA titers at all concentrations and timepoints. In contrast, all of the CD22-ligand Adalimumab conjugates show significantly lower ADA titers at all concentrations and timepoints. The 10 and 3 mg/kg doses demonstrated the lowest ADA titers, with many of the mice measuring below the limit of quantification for the ADA assay. These results for suppression of immunogenicity in mice correlate with the in vitro B cell activation results in Examples 5 and 6; decoration of an immunogenic antibody with potentiated CD22 ligand is sufficient to strongly suppress immunogenicity.

    Example 8: Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Adalimumab and Siglec Ligand-Conjugated Adalimumab in C57BL/6 Mice

    Purpose

    [1493] The purpose of this experiment was to determine if there are improvements in exposure and pharmacokinetics of Siglec Ligand-conjugate adalimumab preparations relative to parental adalimumab IgG.

    Materials and Methods

    [1494] The Adalimumab and Adalimumab CD22 ligand conjugates were prepared as described in Example 4. The conjugates in this study were conjugated via maleimide coupling to engineered cysteine site L443C on the heavy chain for a final LDR of 2. Control adalimumab was cysteine capped at L443C with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)

    [1495] Pharmacokinetic monitoring was carried out in C57BL/6 mice following a single intravenous administration of adalimumab or the individual SigL-conjugated adalimumab antibodies. On study day1, the mice were randomized by body weight into treatment groups. The individual antigens were prepared by making antigen solution in sterile PBS pH 7.4. On study day 0, the animals were administered the test articles subcutaneously twice with 0.1 mL each of a 0.5 mg/mL antigen solution for a total dose of approximately 4 mg/kg. Animals were bled via the retro-orbital sinus throughout the study under inhaled isoflurane anesthesia at 1 h, 6 h, 1-day, 2-days, 6-days, 13-days, 20 days and 27-days post test-article administration. Whole blood was collected into Microvette K2EDTA capillary collection tube (Sarstedt Inc) and then further processed following manufactures instructions to collect plasma. Levels of adalimumab and SigL-conjugated adalimumab in plasma samples were measured using an AlphaLISA human IgG assay (Perkin Elmer) following manufacturer's protocols.

    Results and Conclusions

    [1496] FIG. 5 depicts analysis of serum pharmacokinetics for adalimumab and CD22-ligand-adalimumab conjugates in mice. Clearly, the control adalimumab displays significantly increased clearance, falling below the limit of quantitation (BLOQ) at day 14 in FIG. 5A. This is likely due to the high ADA titers observed with adalimumab, as shown in Example 7. Interestingly, adalimumab CD22 ligand conjugate NHC023 also shows significant accelerated clearance. NHC023 is conjugated to a CD22 ligand that shows the lowest affinity to Siglec-2 of the group of CD22 ligands that were assessed in this study. This is likely a measure of ADA suppression as well, since in vitro studies from Examples 5 and 6 demonstrated higher affinity CD22 ligands are better suppressors of B-cell activation than lower affinity ligands.

    [1497] FIG. 5B depicts the area under the curve (AUC) for each mouse examined in the PK assay. The higher affinity ligands that are conjugated to adalimumab, NHC025 to NHC029, demonstrate significantly better exposure over time. Overall, this study establishes that CD22 ligand conjugates to adalimumab can rescue accelerated drug clearance associated with ADA.
