Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radiochemistry technology, and particularly relates to a cyclic polypeptide molecular probe targeting neurocilia-1, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Cancer is a disease caused by the uncontrolled growth and proliferation of cells. Common treatments include surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. The size, depth of invasion, and presence of lymph node or distant metastasis of malignant tumors are strongly correlated with cancer prognosis. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can significantly prolong patient survival and improve quality of life. However, because early cancer symptoms are often subtle or nonspecific, and current diagnostic methods (such as endoscopy, CT, and MRI) have limitations, improving the early detection rate of cancer remains a widely discussed topic in the academic community.

[0003] In recent years, molecular imaging, especially positron emission tomography (PET), has made encouraging progress in guiding the early diagnosis and personalized treatment of cancer. This technology can provide complete and high-resolution imaging of malignant tumors in vivo and quantitatively analyze the expression of tumor markers.

[0004] Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) is a multifunctional transmembrane glycoprotein involved in nervous system development, angiogenesis, and immune regulation. NRP-1 plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and development, significantly correlated with tumor proliferation, invasion, and poor prognosis. NRP-1 is highly expressed in various tumor cells, including but not limited to lung cancer, fibrosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer. NRP-1 is expressed at low levels in normal tissues but at high levels in some lesions, including metabolic diseases, sclerotic lesions, and autoimmune diseases. Due to its significant pro-cancer effects, research on NRP-1 protein has been a hot topic in recent years. The number of tumor diagnostic and anti-tumor drugs targeting NRP-1 is also increasing, and monoclonal antibodies are already in clinical trials, with potential future clinical applications.

[0005] In molecular imaging, peptides are more suitable for designing molecular probes for PET imaging due to their advantages such as simple synthesis, strong penetration, low immunogenicity, and rapid metabolism. Furthermore, cyclic peptides exhibit better in vitro and in vivo stability compared to linear peptides. While several existing small-molecule peptide drugs targeting NRP-1 can visualize tumors, they suffer from issues such as small differences in uptake between tumor and normal tissues, poor drug stability, and potential biosafety risks. 99 mTc-CK399 mTc-DO3A-Et-RPAR, 68 Ga-NODAGA-K(Cy5)DKPPR, 68 Ga-NOTA-A7R.

[0006] Therefore, developing NRP-1-targeting small molecule cyclic peptide molecular probes with stronger tumor affinity, better biostability, and higher biosafety has important clinical value and social significance. It can be used for early diagnosis of NRP-1-positive cancers and lesions, dynamic monitoring of NRP-1 expression, and provide medication guidance for the clinical application of NRP-1 monoclonal antibodies.

[0066] Example 1: 68 Ga-DOTA-CEND1 crafting and tagging

[0067] (1) A cyclic peptide radiopharmaceutical for NRP-1 targeting, the bifunctional chelator (DOTA)-CEND1 is DOTA-NHS, which has the following IXV structure:

[0068]

[0069] (2) 68 Preparation method of Ga-DOTA-CEND1 cyclic peptide molecular probe:

[0070] Step 1: Weigh 1.0–100 mg of CEND1 and 2–20 equivalents of the bifunctional chelating agent and dissolve them in water for injection. The bifunctional chelating agent is DOTA-NHS. Add an appropriate amount of triethanolamine (TEA) or N,N'-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) to adjust the pH to weakly alkaline (7.5–9.5). Mix well and react overnight at room temperature. After the reaction is complete, dilute the reaction solution with water for injection and separate and purify it by semi-preparative HPLC. Collect the product peak, concentrate by rotary evaporation, and freeze dry it into a white powder, which is the radiopharmaceutical precursor DOTA-CEND1, i.e., the molecule with the structure shown in Formula IXV.

[0071] Step 2: Use 5 mL of 0.01 M HCl from... 68 Ge / 68 Elution in an ITG generator 68 Ga ions were mixed with a 1.5M NaOAc buffer solution to adjust the pH to approximately 4.0, resulting in a mixture. This mixture was then directly transferred to a 2mL plastic tube containing 20–50 μg of the NRP-1-targeted radiopharmaceutical precursor DOTA-CEND1. After mixing, the mixture was heated at 100°C for 10–15 minutes to prepare... 68 Ga-DOTA-CEND1, see structure below Figure 1 (i.e., the structure shown in formula XV).

[0072] (3) 68 Method for determining the labeling rate of Ga-DOTA-CEND1:

[0073] The labeling rate was determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography (Radio-HPLC) method: gradient analysis was employed, the analytical column was a Kinetex 5μm EVO C18 (250.0mm×4.6mm); the UV detection wavelength was 214nm; the flow rate was 1.0mL / min; the injection volume was 20μL, and the mobile phase program is shown in Table 1 below.

[0074] Table 1.

[0075]

[0076] Labeling rate results are shown in Figure 2 Under this marking condition, 68 The Ga-DOTA-CEND1 drug had a radiochemical purity greater than 95%, meeting the experimental purity requirements. To reduce the impact of free gallium on tumor diagnosis, purification was performed using a Sep-Pak Plus Light C18 solid-phase extraction column. After purification with the Sep-Pak Plus Light C18 column, the drug's radiochemical purity approached 100%. To ensure drug consistency, all subsequent experiments used Sep-Pak Plus Light C18 column purification.

[0077] Example 2: 68 In vivo and in vitro stability of Ga-DOTA-CEND1

[0078] The preparation from Example 1 68 Ga-DOTA-CEND1 drug was added to 200 μL of NaCl, PBS, and FBS solutions (approximately 100 μCi), respectively, and incubated in a metal bath at 37°C for different times. The radiochemical purity was then determined (Radio-HPLC). Results are shown below. Figure 3 In normal mice, the tail vein was injected with... 68 After 0.5, 1, and 2 hours of Ga-DOTA-CEND1 (100 μCi), mouse urine was collected and its radiochemical purity was determined (Radio-HPLC). The results are shown below. Figure 4 This indicates that the probe has good in vitro and in vivo stability.

[0079] Example 3: 68 Determination of the distribution coefficient of Ga-DOTA-CEND1

[0080] The preparation from Example 1 68 The Ga-DOTA-CEND1 (2-4 μCi) probe was added to 500 μL of DDW and n-octanol, respectively, and thoroughly mixed by vortexing. The mixture was then centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 5 min. 200 μL of each layer was taken and added to separate radioimmunoassay tubes. The γ value was measured and calculated using the Log P formula: Log P = Log(aqueous phase γ value / n-octanol phase γ value). The results are shown below. Figure 5 The LogP value is -2.33, indicating that the probe is hydrophilic.

[0081] Example 4: 68 Pharmacokinetic analysis of Ga-DOTA-CEND1

[0082] Five healthy six-week-old mice were injected with 0.2 mCi via the tail vein. 68Pharmacokinetic studies were conducted on Ga-DOTA-CEND1. Blood samples were collected via tail vein dissection at 1, 3, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes post-dose. After gamma counting, blood weight was collected, and after radiation decay correction, the percentage of radioactive count per gram of blood relative to the total injected radioactive count (%ID / g) was calculated and expressed. The blood half-life was calculated using GraphPad Prism 8.0 software. The results are shown below. Figure 6 The results showed: 68 Ga-DOTA-CEND1 drug in blood T 1 / 2(α) It was 1.063 min, T 1 / 2(β) The time was 16.98 min, indicating that the probe was cleared from the blood relatively quickly.

[0083] Example 5: 68 Cellular uptake assay of Ga-DOTA-CEND1

[0084] 1×10 6 After placing lung cancer cells A549, fibrosarcoma cells HT-1080, and cervical cancer cells Siha into radioimmunoassay tubes, the molecular probe targeting NRP1 prepared in Example 1 was added to the radioimmunoassay tubes. 68 Ga-DOTA-CEND1 (1 μCi / tube) was incubated in a 37°C water bath for 0.5 h, 1 h, 1.5 h, and 2 h, respectively. After incubation, 500 μL of cold (4°C) PBS buffer (pH = 7.4, 0.01 M) was added to the radioimmunoassay tube, and the tube was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 min. After centrifugation, the above operation was repeated once, and the CPM value of the sample was detected using a gamma counter. The %AD uptake result was expressed as the ratio of intracellular CPM to total dose CPM. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 7 A549 cells and HT-1080 cells on 68 Ga-DOTA-CEND1 uptake was significantly higher in Ga-DOTA-CEND1 cells than in Siha cells, indicating that the molecular probe... 68 Ga-DOTA-CEND1 exhibits good target specificity.

[0085] Example 6: Western Blot Experiment of NRP-1 Expression

[0086] The expression of NRP1 protein in lung cancer cells A549, fibrosarcoma HT-1080, pancreatic cancer CFPAC-1, breast cancer MDB-MA-231, and cervical cancer Siha was determined by Western blotting. The results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 8 .from Figure 8As can be seen, A549, HT-1080, CFPAC-1, and MDB-MA-231 cells highly express NRP-1 protein, while Siha cells hardly express NRP-1 protein. A549, HT-1080, CFPAC-1, and MDB-MA-231 can be used as positive models for targeting studies of molecular probes targeting NRP-1, while Siha can be used as a negative model.

[0087] Example 7: 68 Biological evaluation of Ga-DOTA-CEND1

[0088] The following describes the NRP-1-targeted probe prepared according to the method of Example 1 of the present invention. 68 The PET / CT imaging performance of Ga-DOTA-CEND1 is described as follows:

[0089] (1) Preparation of mouse tumor model

[0090] A549 cells (NRP 1 positive cells), HT-1080 cells (NRP 1 positive cells), CFPAC-1 cells (NRP 1 positive cells), MCF-7 cells (NRP 1 positive cells), and Siha cells (NRP 1 negative cells) were digested with 0.25 wt% trypsin / 0.02 wt% EDTA, washed with sterile PBS, and resuspended in sterile physiological saline to prepare a cell suspension of 4 × 10⁴ / μL. The three cell types were then divided into three groups of cells at 5 × 10⁴ cells per cell line. 6 A dose of 100 μL per mouse was injected subcutaneously into the right forelimb axilla of 4–5 week old female BALB / c-Nude mice. The mice were housed in an SPF-grade animal facility, and tumor diameter was monitored every other day. After approximately 2–3 weeks, when the average tumor diameter reached 0.8–1.0 cm, the mice were used for experiments.

[0091] (2) 68 MicroPET / CT imaging of Ga-DOTA-CEND1 in a lung cancer model

[0092] (1) The tumor-bearing mice (n=3) were anesthetized and placed prone on the PET / CT bed. 0.2 mL of a probe of about 150 μCi was injected via the tail vein. Static PET and CT scans were performed for 10 min and 5 min respectively 30, 60 and 90 min after the probe injection.

[0093] PET imaging results of four NRP-1 positive models, A549, HT-1080, CFPAC-1, and MCF-7, are shown below. Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 PET imaging results of the NRP-1 negative model Siha are shown below. Figure 13 .

[0094] like Figure 13 As shown, the results illustrate 68 The Ga-DOTA-CEND1 probe was readily taken up by tumors in four positive tumor models after injection, and the uptake was significantly higher than in the negative model Siha. This indicates that the probe can bind well to tumor NRP-1 and can be used for molecular imaging monitoring of tumor NRP-1 expression.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made based on the essence of the content of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
