Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a radioactive nuclide-labeled glucose derivative molecular probe and its application, belonging to the technical field of nuclear medicine. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of molecular imaging in the field of tumor diagnosis, it focuses on achieving specific visualization of lesions by applying imaging agents (IAs) in various imaging modalities. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a diagnostic tool that uses positron-emitting radionuclides to visualize lesions at multiple levels, providing high resolution and significantly improving the accuracy of tumor diagnosis. Currently, PET imaging has become a major test method for tumor diagnosis. The overexpression of glucose transporters (GLUTs) and the Warburg effect in most cancer cells have catalyzed extensive research on glucose imaging agents. Among them, 2- 18 F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose( 18 F-FDG) has become the most successful broad-spectrum tumor PET imaging agent and is widely used in clinical diagnosis.
[0003] However, at the present stage, 18 the use of F-FDG in clinical practice is still restricted by many factors. For example, 18 the synthesis of F-FDG requires the use of a cyclotron to produce fluorine-18. And, 18 the production of F-FDG involves multiple steps, including azeotropic distillation, nucleophilic substitution, deprotection and purification, which makes the process relatively complex and time-consuming, thus restricting its widespread use in most hospitals. In addition, 18 F-FDG will be absorbed by tissues and organs with high glucose metabolism such as the brain and heart, making it difficult to distinguish tumors from normal tissues and organs. In this case, selecting a favorable radionuclide is crucial for the development of broad-spectrum tumor PET imaging agents targeting glucose transporters.
[0004] Gallium-68( 68 Ga) is a promising radioisotope with a good half-life (68 minutes), which is produced by 68 Ge / 68 Ga generator and does not require an accelerator, and can be obtained simply by eluting with hydrochloric acid. At the same time, the process of labeling compounds with 68 Ga is very simple. Currently, there have been research reports on 68 Ga-labeled glucose derivative PET molecular probes targeting glucose transporters, including 68 Ga-DOTA-DG and 68 Ga-ECG. Compared with 18Compared with F-FDG probe, the problem of nonspecific uptake of these two probes still exists, e.g. 68 The uptake of Ga-DOTA-DG in the lungs was higher than that in the tumors. 68 The uptake of Ga-ECG in the liver and lungs is higher than that in tumors. Therefore, it is urgent to develop targeted glucose transporters with lower nonspecific uptake. 68 Ga-labeled molecular probes can overcome the defects of existing broad-spectrum tumor PET imaging agents, thereby providing a basis for the development of more effective tumor diagnosis and efficacy evaluation tools.

[0147] Experimental Example 3: Experiment on the cellular uptake of the molecular probe
[0148] This experimental example provides a cell uptake experiment of molecular probes, and the specific process is as follows:
[0149] U87 cells (glioblastoma, purchased from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) and A549 cells (non-small cell lung cancer cells, purchased from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) were cultured in DMEM medium (purchased from Biological Industries, Israel) containing 1% (v / v) penicillin-streptomycin double antibody (purchased from Shanghai Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) and 10% (v / v) fetal bovine serum (purchased from Biological Industries, Israel) in a 37°C, 5% (v / v) CO2 incubator until the logarithmic growth phase; U87 and A549 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were added to 24-well plates at a density of 3×10 5 cells / well and incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 12 h; after incubation, the wells in the 24-well plates were grouped (n = 3), namely the control group and the 2, 4, and 8 mg D-glucose groups, as well as the control group and the 2, 4, and 8 unit insulin groups. After grouping, the experiment began.
[0150] One hour before the experiment, the DMEM medium in the 24-well plates was replaced with sugar-free DMEM medium (purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific) and incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1 h to starve the cells; after incubation, the experiment was officially started. During the experiment, 2, 4, and 8 mg of D-glucose were added to the wells in the three D-glucose groups respectively, and 2, 4, and 8 units of insulin were added to the wells in the three insulin groups respectively, and incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 30 min, then 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG (3.7×10 -1 MBq, 100 μL, with the solvent being sugar-free DMEM medium) was added to the wells in all groups and incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1 h; after incubation, the U87 or A549 cells in the wells were rinsed twice with 500 μL PBS buffer, and then lysed with 500 μL 1 M NaOH solution for 3 min to collect the lysate; the CPM value of the lysate was detected using a γ counter (1470Wizard, Perkins Elmer), and the cell uptake %AD result was expressed as the ratio of the CPM in the cells to the CPM of the total dose. The detection results are shown in Figure 11 .
[0151] It can be seen from Figure 11 that D-glucose cannot block the uptake of 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG by the two types of cells, while insulin significantly promotes the uptake of 68Uptake of 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG, in which, in the U87 cell line, compared with the control group (uptake value 0.22 ± 0.02% AD), the uptake values of U87 cells intervened with 2, 4, and 8 units of insulin for 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG increased by 11.40%, 29.67%, and 55.57% respectively. While in the A549 cell line, compared with the control group (uptake value 0.15 ± 0.02% AD), the uptake values of A549 cells intervened with 2, 4, and 8 units of insulin for 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG increased by 23.44%, 44.13%, and 67.90% respectively. And as is well known, insulin can up-regulate glucose transporters to promote cell uptake of glucose. It can be seen that

[0153] This experimental example provides a PET imaging experiment of a molecular probe, and the specific process is as follows:
[0154] U87 and A549 cells were respectively implanted subcutaneously into the upper right axilla of female BALB / C mice (5 weeks old, purchased from Changzhou Cavens Experimental Animal Co., Ltd.) at a dose of 5×10 6 individuals. The tumor diameter was monitored every other day. When the tumor diameter reached more than 3 cm, U87 and A549 tumor-bearing mice were anesthetized with oxygen containing 2% (v / v) isoflurane at a flow rate of 2 L / min; after fixing the limbs and tails of the tumor-bearing mice, the molecular probes 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG, 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-DDG, 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-TDG, 68 Ga]Ga-DOTA-SDG, and 68 Ga]Ga-DOTA-DDG (~180 μCi, 200 μL) dissolved in physiological saline were respectively injected into the mice through the tail vein; after the probe injection was completed, a 60-min dynamic PET scan was immediately performed, and the PET imaging results are shown in Figures 12 - 16 ; after the scan was completed, the 60-min PET imaging results were segmented into 12 frame images using the OSEM3D / MAP algorithm, with one frame every 5 min, to achieve real-time analysis of the imaging in the mice; the region of interest (ROI) technique in the ASIPRO software was used to outline and analyze the distribution of the probe in the tumor site and other organ tissues, and the analysis results are shown in Figures 12 - 17and Tables 2 - 3, wherein the uptake values of the molecular probes in various tissues in vivo are expressed as %ID / mL (percentage of the injection dose per milliliter).
[0155] As Figures 12 - 16 shown in and Tables 2 - 3, 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG showed the best effect among the three. The highest tumor uptake value reached 10.75 ± 0.37 %ID / mL in U87 tumor-bearing mice, and the tumor-to-muscle ratio was 4.40 ± 0.08. The highest tumor uptake value reached 4.08 ± 0.46 %ID / mL in A549 tumor-bearing mice, and the tumor-to-muscle ratio was 4.19 ± 0.99. 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-DDG and 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-TDG had a similar trend to 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG. Representative 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG was selected to analyze the uptake of non-target tissues by ROI. Figure 17 The results showed that 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG had relatively low uptake in tissues with high physiological glucose uptake (such as the brain, intestine, and heart), resulting in a relatively high overall signal-to-noise ratio. In the U87 tumor-bearing mouse model, 68 the maximum ratios of tumor / brain, tumor / heart, and tumor / intestine of Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG were 6.45 ± 0.26, 1.17 ± 0.01, and 3.47 ± 0.07, respectively. Similarly, in the A549 model, these ratios were 6.19 ± 2.00, 1.20 ± 0.03, and 4.07 ± 0.09 within 1 hour ( Figure 17 c) in). These data indicate that 68 Ga]Ga-NOTA-SDG showed good tumor specificity in both tumor models, demonstrating its excellent molecular targeting performance.
