Abstract

Abstract A conjugate comprising a vinca moiety convalently linked at the 4-position via a group of the formula --OCOXCO-- where X represents a single chemical bond or an optionally substituted C 1-10 chain, to an immunoglobulin or an immunoglobulin fragment. The conjugates are useful in the treatment of cancer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 142 words
A cytotoxic conjugate represented by the formula (V--COXCO--) n Ig wherein V is a vinca moiety of the formula ##STR4## and n is 1-20 and in which Ig represents an immunoglobulin with cellular-associated antigen recognizing properties and X is C 1-4 straight chain alkylene, C 2-8 branched alkylene, C 2-4 alkenylene, C 3-4 alkynylene, C 3-6 cycloalkylene, phenylene, hydroxy-substituted C 1-4 alkylene or a direct bond; and in which R 1 is COOCH 3 ; R 2 is H, CH 3 or CHO; and when R 4 and R 5 are taken singly, R 5 is H, and one of R 3 and R 4 is ethyl and the other is H or OH: and when R 4 and R 5 are taken together with the carbons to which they are attached, they form an oxirane ring, and R 3 is ethyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 142 words
A cytotoxic conjugate represented by the formula (V--COXCO--) n Ig wherein V is a vinca moiety of the formula ##STR4## and n is 1-20 and in which Ig represents an immunoglobulin with cellular-associated antigen recognizing properties and X is C 1-4 straight chain alkylene, C 2-8 branched alkylene, C 2-4 alkenylene, C 3-4 alkynylene, C 3-6 cycloalkylene, phenylene, hydroxy-substituted C 1-4 alkylene or a direct bond; and in which R 1 is COOCH 3 ; R 2 is H, CH 3 or CHO; and when R 4 and R 5 are taken singly, R 5 is H, and one of R 3 and R 4 is ethyl and the other is H or OH: and when R 4 and R 5 are taken together with the carbons to which they are attached, they form an oxirane ring, and R 3 is ethyl.
