Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of chemical pharmaceutical technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a liquid composition containing compound I and its use in myocardial perfusion PET imaging.

Background Art

[0002] Myocardial perfusion imaging began to be used in the non-invasive examination of heart diseases in the 1970s, and its great diagnostic value has been widely accepted worldwide. It has become one of the most important imaging methods in the diagnosis, evaluation of treatment effectiveness, and prognostic diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging technology is the main non-invasive perfusion imaging method currently used in clinical detection of coronary heart disease. However, compared with SPECT, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has higher spatial and temporal resolutions, can effectively reduce tissue attenuation, and can achieve absolute quantification of coronary blood flow using standard tissue attenuation correction methods. Furthermore, the short half-life of positron radionuclides can effectively reduce the radiation dose around the target tissue, and the short half-life can also shorten the interval between resting imaging and exercise imaging. Commonly used myocardial perfusion PET contrast agents include 15 O-H2O, 13 N-NH3·H2O, 82 Rb, etc. However, the half-lives of the above contrast agents are all short, and their clinical applications are still greatly limited. Compared with other positron radionuclides, 18 F has a long half-life (t 1 / 2 = 109.8 minutes), low positron energy (average energy 249.8 keV), less radiation damage to normal tissues, and its van der Waals radius (1.35) is similar to that of hydrogen (1.2), and it does not affect the biological activity of the labeled compound. Therefore, the development of new fluorine-18 labeled myocardial perfusion contrast agents has important practical significance.

[0003] Compound I has the chemical name 2-tert-butyl-4-chloro-5-((3-((4-((2-(2-fluoro 18 F]ethoxy)ethoxy)methyl))-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl)benzyl)oxy)pyridazin-3(2H)-one, contains the radionuclide 18 F, can be used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, has the characteristic that the content of the chemical substance is very small and a pure product cannot be isolated, and most of the prepared products exist in a solution state.

[0009] Furthermore, the present application provides a reagent kit for the automatic preparation of a liquid composition of Compound I, and the reagent kit includes a reaction bottle and a formulation bottle.

[0016] The mechanism of action of Compound I as a myocardial perfusion PET imaging agent is as follows. When Compound I enters cardiomyocytes, it immediately interacts with respiratory chain complex I (MC-I) in mitochondria and accumulates in the myocardium for a long time. Preliminary animal research data show that the uptake in the heart is high and the uptake in the liver is low 15 minutes after injection, and a good heart-to-liver ratio is maintained 60 minutes after injection, indicating the potential for good myocardial perfusion imaging.

[0017] In this application, the liquid composition of Compound I or Compound I is used as a myocardial perfusion PET imaging agent.

[0021] Aminopolyether (K 222 ) is a three - bridged crown ether molecule with a cryptoid cavity, a typical azacryptand, and a type of cryptand. Due to its unique coordination properties, the azacryptand can appropriately select cations that complex transition metals and heavy metals, and the resulting complexes are more stable and have lipophilicity and hydrophilicity, thus having excellent research prospects.

[0022] A typical synthesis method of aminopolyether (K 222 ) in the prior art is the highly diluted method proposed by Lehn et al., which is one of the typical non - template ion synthesis methods. The specific procedure is as follows. The starting materials 1,8 - diamino - 3,6 - dioxaoctane and 1,8 - diacyl chloride - 3,6 - dioxaoctane are dissolved in a large amount of benzene solvent, heated and reacted for 8 hours, then reduced with lithium aluminum hydride for 24 hours, separated by column chromatography, and recrystallized to obtain aminopolyether (K 222 ). This method requires a large amount of solvents such as benzene, has a long synthetic route, complex operations, low yield, and low economic benefits. In addition to the highly diluted method, another typical synthesis method of aminopolyether (K 222 ) is the synthesis method proposed by Kulstad and Malmsten. In this synthesis method, using Na2CO3 etc. as a template, an aminopolyether (K 222 ) sodium iodide complex is obtained in acetonitrile, and then this complex is decomplexed with resin to obtain aminopolyether (K 222To obtain it. As the specific procedure, 1,2-bis(2-iodoethoxy)ethane as the raw material and benzylamine are refluxed in an acetonitrile solution for 3 days, and an intermediate is obtained through post-treatment. This intermediate is recrystallized with acetone, and after filtration, an NaI complex is obtained. This complex is decomplexed with a cation exchange resin and an anion exchange resin respectively under acidic conditions to prepare an aminopolyether (K 222 ) is prepared. This method has a simple apparatus, low solvent consumption, and relatively mild reaction conditions. However, as a result of research, the applicant has discovered that in the method of decomplexing using an ion exchange resin, when the sodium ion content is reduced to a certain amount, the decomplexing cannot proceed and the yield decreases.

[0023] In this application, the applicant has discovered that in the existing preparation method of Compound I, a large batch of liquid composition of Compound I that meets the quality requirements cannot be obtained, and a product with a high activity concentration cannot be obtained either.

[0024] In this application, a large batch refers to a product with a high total activity, and generally can refer to a product with a total activity exceeding 1 Ci, that is, 37 GBq. A product with a high activity concentration generally can refer to a product with an activity concentration exceeding 50 mCi / mL, that is, 1850 MBq / mL.

[0025] In this application, the labeling rate refers to 18 conducting a labeling reaction between [¹⁸F] and the reaction precursor, 18 [¹⁸F] replacing the leaving group in the precursor and converting it into the final labeled product. Since the labeled product contains 18 [¹⁸F], the labeling rate is defined as the ratio of the activity of the labeled product to the total 18 [¹⁸F] activity involved in the reaction.

[0026] In this application, the yield refers to 18 the ratio of the activity of the liquid composition of Compound I, which is the final product, to the initial

[0027] For example, in the prior art, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used for purification, and the mobile phase used in this purification step is a mixed system of acetonitrile and water. The applicant has found that 18 when the activity of F is increased, the crude product of compound I obtained increases. If the existing method is used as it is, the difficulty of purification increases, and 18 it has been found that when the initial F activity is high, the labeling rate decreases. At the same time, the yield calculated after purification also decreases, making it impossible to obtain a large batch of liquid composition of compound I that meets the quality requirements. From this, it can be seen that using a mixed system of acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase to purify the crude product of compound I results in very low labeling rates and yields. 18 Furthermore, it can be seen that simply increasing the initial F ion activity using the reaction and purification conditions of the existing technology cannot produce the required high-quality and large-batch products.

[0028] In addition, the applicant has also found that when using a mixed system of acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase to purify the crude product of compound I, it is necessary to use a C18 cartridge to remove organic solvents such as acetonitrile in the HPLC mobile phase. However, since compound I is highly sensitive to radiolysis, it decomposes during purification. During the purification with a C18 cartridge, radioactive substances are concentrated into a very small volume, causing radiolysis. After radiolysis, the yield decreases. Furthermore, the radiochemical purity and stability of the final compound I product cannot meet the requirements, and the preparation time becomes longer. A C18 cartridge is an octadecyl-bonded silica gel cartridge that can be used for the concentration and removal of organic solvents such as acetonitrile.

[0029] In order to obtain a large batch of liquid composition of compound I that meets the quality requirements, increase the labeling rate, improve the radiochemical purity and stability of the final product, and shorten the time of the entire reaction process, the applicant has created a technical solution that can solve the problems of low labeling rate, low radiochemical purity, and low stability through repeated verification through multiple studies.

[0030] This application provides a method for preparing Compound I, and the synthetic route is as follows.

[0031]

Chemical formula

[0032] Activated 18 Mix the F⁻ ions with an acetonitrile solution containing the precursor of Compound I, and carry out a nucleophilic substitution reaction under the action of a catalyst to produce a crude product containing Compound I.

[0033] The method for preparing the above Compound I provided by this application purifies the crude product containing Compound I using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The mobile phase used in the purification step by high-performance liquid chromatography contains ethanol and water instead of the original acetonitrile and water system. When using the acetonitrile and water system, a C18 cartridge is required to remove the organic solvent, resulting in high activity and radiolysis, which cannot meet the production needs.

[0034] In the method for preparing the above Compound I provided by this application, sodium ascorbate (VcNa) and / or vitamin C (Vc) and / or genisteic acid, which are radiolysis inhibitors, are added to the mobile phase used in the purification step by high-performance liquid chromatography. Sodium ascorbate, vitamin C, and genisteic acid have a radiolysis prevention effect. During the HPLC purification process, radioactive 18 To avoid radiolysis due to the enrichment of F⁻ ions, adding Vc and / or VcNa and / or genisteic acid to the mobile phase can reduce the radiolysis of Compound I during the column purification process.

[0035] The above method for preparing Compound I provided by this application improves the radiochemical purity of the liquid composition of Compound I, removes the purification step using a C18 cartridge, and reduces the radiolysis on the C18 cartridge.

[0036] In the preparation method of the present application, after removing the C18 cartridge, the step of removing the solvent is omitted, and ethanol for injection can be used as the mobile phase.

[0109] As shown in Table 2 18 The initial activity data of F refers to the data that can be detected immediately after production. Usually, 18 Those skilled in the art can understand that the initial activity of F changes depending on the storage time and usage conditions. Therefore, the 18 Initial activity data of F in Examples 1 to 16 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 are usually within 18 ±10% of the initial activity data of the target F and are within the range recognized by those skilled in the art. For example, if 10 Ci is the target 18 Initial activity of F, in actual detection, the initial activity can be 9 Ci to 11 Ci. If 6 Ci is the target 18 Initial activity of F, in actual detection, the initial activity can be 5.4 Ci to 6.6 Ci. If 3.5 Ci is the target 18 Initial activity of F, in actual detection, the initial activity can be 3.15 Ci to 3.85 Ci.

[0110] Example 17 Liquid Composition of Compound I Using the Compound I product of Example 1, a liquid composition of Compound I was formulated. The compound I was collected in a transfer bottle (i.e., prescription bottle P1) with a prescription substrate solution added in advance (for the formulation components and preparation of prescription bottle P1, refer to the preparation of prescription bottle P1. Here, the prescription substrate solution is as follows: First, dissolve another prescription bottle P2 to a predetermined volume with water, take out a part of the reagent from the pre-treated other prescription bottle P2, and mix a part of the reagent in this other prescription bottle P2 with the reagent in prescription bottle P1 to form the prescription substrate solution).

[0122] The parameters of Examples 17 to 22 and Comparative Examples 3 to 8 are shown in Table 3.

[0123]

Table 3-1

[0124]

Table 3-2

[0125] The activity concentration of the product in Table 3 refers to the activity concentration of the purified product of Compound I, where 1 mCi = 37 MBq. The activity concentration of the purified product of Compound I refers to the activity of the Compound I product divided by the total volume of the Compound I liquid composition.

[0126] In Example 17, the activity concentration of the product was calculated to be 2000 MBq / mL, i.e., 54 mCi / mL. The ratio of the vitamin C dosage (mg / mL) to the activity concentration of Compound I (mCi / mL) was 2 to 54, i.e., 0.04, and the ratio of the sodium ascorbate dosage (mg / mL) to the activity concentration of Compound I (mCi / mL) was 20 to 54, i.e., 0.37.

[0127] Experimental Example The method for measuring the labeling rate is as follows: after the labeling reaction is completed, the sample is injected and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the ratio of the radioactive peak area of the target product in the liquid chromatogram to the peak areas of all radioactive peaks is calculated.

[0128] The non-decay corrected yield is determined as the ratio of the activity of the final liquid composition product measured using an activity meter to 18 the initial activity of F.

[0129] As a method for determining the radiochemical purity at 0 h, the sample is injected and analyzed by HPLC, and it is determined as the ratio of the radioactive peak area of the product to the peak areas of all radioactive peaks.

[0130] As a method for measuring the 6-h stability (radiochemical purity index), after the final product is placed at room temperature for 6 hours, the sample is injected and analyzed by HPLC, and it is determined as the ratio of the radioactive peak area of the product to the peak areas of all radioactive peaks.

[0131] The experimental effect data of Examples 1 to 16 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 are shown in Table 4.

[0132]

Table 4

[0133] As can be seen from Table 4, in Examples 1 to 4, after the optimization of the purification process by high performance liquid chromatography, the amount of the crude product containing Compound I that can be processed increases, and thus the reaction amount of the initial activity of Compound I precursor and 18 F can be increased, and it becomes possible to provide a high-quality liquid composition of Compound I in a large batch.

[0134] Compared with Example 1, 18 when the initial activity of F is constant, in Example 2, the dosage of Compound I precursor increases, 18 the conversion of F is promoted, and the yield and labeling rate increase.

[0135] In Examples 2 to 4, when the dosage of the precursor of Compound I is constant, 18 even if the initial activity of F increases, the yield and labeling rate hardly change, and the radiochemical purity hardly changes.

[0136] Generally, when the dosage of Compound I precursor is constant, 18 the higher the initial activity of F within a certain range, the lower the yield. However, when the dosage of Compound I precursor reaches a certain amount, 18 the yield no longer changes with the change of the initial activity of F.

[0137] In Examples 4 to 6, the influence of the volume ratio of ethanol to water in the mobile phase on the final efficiency was investigated. The more ethanol in the mobile phase, the earlier the final product can be obtained. Therefore, the total preparation time is shortened and the yield is increased. Therefore, the yields of Examples 5 and 6 are slightly higher than that of Example 4. However, excessive ethanol content reduces the radiochemical purity of the final product. Therefore, the radiochemical purity of Example 5 is lower than that of Examples 4 and 6.

[0138] In Examples 4, 7, and 8, since vitamin C is not present in the mobile phase of Example 7, the yield and radiochemical purity of Example 7 are lower than those of Examples 4 and 8. Since the vitamin C content of Example 8 is increased compared to the vitamin C content of Example 4, the yield of Example 8 is superior to the yield of Example 4.

[0139] Among Examples 4 and 9 to 11, compared with Example 4, since the mobile phase of Example 9 does not contain sodium vitamin C, the yield and radiochemical purity of Example 9 are lower than those of Example 4. Since Example 10 has a higher sodium vitamin C content than Example 4, the yield of Example 10 is superior to the yield of Example 4. Since Example 11 does not contain sodium vitamin C and vitamin C, both the yield, labeling rate, and radiochemical purity decrease.

[0140] In Examples 12 and 13, compared with Example 4, in Example 12, vitamin C was changed to gentiopic acid, and the labeling rate, yield, and radiochemical purity are equivalent, indicating that the effect of gentiopic acid in the mobile phase is equivalent to that of vitamin C. Compared with Example 12, since the mobile phase of Example 13 does not contain sodium vitamin C, the yield, labeling rate, and radiochemical purity of Example 13 are all lower than those of Example 12.

[0141] In Examples 14 and 15, vitamin C was changed to other substances, and compared with Example 4, the labeling rate, yield, and radiochemical purity all decreased, indicating that vitamin C is more suitable for use in the mobile phase than L - glutathione and thiourea.

[0142] In Example 16, the ratio of ethanol to water in the mobile phase was 1:9, and as a result, the peak elution time became longer and the yield decreased.

[0143] In Comparative Example 1, the mobile phase was a mixed system of acetonitrile and water, and the use of a C18 cartridge was required in the subsequent purification step, which resulted in severe radiolysis, a longer reaction time, and a decrease in the final yield and radiochemical purity.

[0144] In Comparative Example 2, since only ethanol was used as the mobile phase, impurities and the final product came out together, and sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid were insoluble in ethanol, so sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid could not be contained in the mobile phase. As a result, the final Compound I product had low purity and was unstable.

[0145] The experimental effect data of Examples 17 - 22 and Comparative Examples 3 - 8 are shown in Table 5.

[0146]

Table 5

[0147] In Examples 17 - 22, the activity concentration of the product was 2000 MBq / mL, that is, 54 mCi / mL. The radiochemical purity of Examples 17 and 18 was high, and the stability for 6 hours was good.

[0148] In Example 19, the mass ratio of ascorbic acid to sodium ascorbate was 1:20, the radiochemical purity was high, the stability effect for 6 hours was good, and the sodium content was relatively high.

[0149] In Examples 20 and 21, the ratio of ascorbic acid to sodium ascorbate was 2:5, the radiochemical purity was high, and the stability effect for 6 hours was good. In Example 21, the ascorbic acid content was higher, and as a result, the pH of the liquid composition of Compound I was lower.

[0150] In Example 22, when ascorbic acid was changed to gentisic acid, the radiochemical purity was high and the stability effect for 6 hours was also good, indicating that gentisic acid in the composition can play a role equivalent to that of ascorbic acid.

[0151] From Comparative Examples 3 to 8, when the liquid composition of Compound I does not contain vitamin C or sodium ascorbate, or when vitamin C is replaced with L-glutathione or thiourea or sodium metabisulfite, the radiochemical purity at 0 hours is low, and after 6 hours, the stability effect further deteriorates, and the radiochemical purity is less than 90%, which is unqualified for myocardial perfusion PET imaging agents.
