Description
PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS QPfr7 ίη / 77Π7 / E / YΙΛΙ Field of Invention The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition of a radiohybrid agent containing silicon fluoride and a chelating group, wherein the fluorine is fluorine-18 (18F) or the chelating group contains a chelated radioactive metal. The composition has a pH of 4.0-6.0 and further comprises: 0.1-200 mM citrate buffer; 1-100 mg / mL ethanol; and 5-10 mg / mL sodium chloride. Background of the Invention Prostate cancer. Prostate cancer (PCa) has remained the most common malignancy in men for decades, with a high incidence and low survival rates. Due to their overexpression in prostate cancer, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCP II) have proven to be excellent targets for the development of highly sensitive radiolabeled agents for endorphin therapy and imaging of PCa. Prostate-specific membrane antigen is an extracellular hydrolase whose catalytic center comprises two zinc(II) ions with a bridging hydroxide ligand. It is highly upregulated in metastatic prostate carcinomas and Ref. 338804 is hormone-resistant, but its physiological expression has also been reported in the kidneys, salivary glands, small intestine, brain, and, to a lesser extent, in healthy prosthetic tissue. In the intestine, PSMA facilitates folate absorption by converting pteroylpoly-L-glutamate to pteroylglutamate (folate). In the brain, it hydrolyzes N-acetyl-L-glutamate (NAAG) to N-acetyl-L-glutamate and glutamate. Prosthetic specific membrane antigen (PSMA) Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly overexpressed in the epithelial cells of prostate cancer. Despite its name, PSMA is also expressed, to varying degrees, in the neovasculature of a wide variety of non-prostate cancers. Among the most common non-prostate cancers that demonstrate PSMA expression are renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. The general structures required for PSMA-targeting molecules comprise a binding unit encompassing a zinc-binding group (such as urea, phosphinate, or phosphoramidate) connected to a Pl' glutamate moiety, which ensures high affinity and specificity for PSMA and is typically more closely linked to an effector function. The effector portion is more flexible and, to some extent, tolerant of structural modifications. Currently, two categories of PSMA targeting inhibitors are used in clinical settings. On the one hand, there are tracers with chelating units for the complexation of radionuclides such as PSMA I&T or related compounds. On the other hand, there are small molecules, which comprise a targeting unit and effector molecules. Score 18F Recently, several groups have focused on developing novel 18F-labeled urea-based inhibitors for prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. The 18F-labeled urea-based PSMA inhibitor 18F-DCFPyl has shown promising results in detecting primary and metastatic PCa. Based on the structure of PSMA-617, the 18F-labeled analog PSMA-1007 was recently developed, which showed comparable tumor-to-organ ratios. An attractive approach for introducing 18F markers is the use of silicon fluoride acceptors (SIFAs). Silicon fluoride acceptors are described, for example, in Lindner et al., Bioconjugate Chemistry 25, 738-749 (2014). To preserve the silicon-fluoride bond, the use of silicon fluoride acceptors introduces the need for spherically demanding groups around the silicon atom. This, in turn, makes silicon fluoride acceptors highly hydrophobic. In terms of binding to the target molecule, particularly the target molecule that is a PSMA, the hydrophobic moiety provided by the silicon fluoride acceptor can be exploited to establish interactions of the radiodiagnostic or therapeutic compound with the hydrophobic pocket described in Zhang et al., Journal of the American Chemical Society 132, 12711-12716 (2010).However, prior to binding, the increased degree of lipophilicity introduced into the molecule poses a serious problem with regard to the development of radiopharmaceuticals with adequate in vivo biodistribution, i.e., low nonspecific binding in non-target tissue. Despite numerous attempts, the problem of hydrophobicity caused by silicon fluoride acceptors has recently been resolved through the use of agents with a hydrophilic chelating moiety. Application WO2019 / 020831 describes a novel type of radiohybrid agent having a SIFA moiety and a metal chelator. By developing the compounds described therein, the inventors have identified improved pharmaceutical formulations for patient administration. The formulations described herein exhibit improved radiostability and shelf life compared to previously described formulations. In view of the foregoing, the technical problem underlying the present invention can be seen as providing improved radiodiagnostic formulations containing a silicon fluoride acceptor and a metal chelator that, at the same time, are characterized by favorable pharmacological stability properties. Brief Description of the Invention As will become evident below, the present invention establishes a proof of principle using specific conjugates, formulated in specific ways, that bind with high affinity to the prostate-specific antigen (PSMA) as the target. The composition in which the compounds are prepared and stored affects the chemical and radiochemical stability of the agents.

The pharmaceutical composition can improve product stability by lowering the pH. During testing, it was identified that the product is less stable under basic conditions, resulting in the hydrolyzed silanol product (displacement of F- by OH-). Lowering the pH helped stabilize the product, and citrate was selected at pH 5. Ethanol can be used as a shield against radiolysis. Optimizing the amount of ethanol leads to the development of the stabilized material as described in this document. Different quantities of components can be combined. For example, the buffer solution can be a 0.1–200 mM citrate buffer with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5 and up to 70 mg / mL of ethanol.

The agents may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts so that, QQF7 ίη / ZZΖΠZ / E / YΙΛΙ for example, the groups one or more of the groups shown as QPfrZ Ln / Zznz / E / YIAI COOH can be salts of the same. The pharmaceutical composition may comprise a radiohybrid agent comprising: or an isomer or salt of the same. The pharmaceutical composition can be used as a cancer diagnostic or imaging agent. The pharmaceutical composition can be used in a method for obtaining cancer imaging and / or diagnosis in a patient in need thereof. Therefore, a method for obtaining cancer imaging and / or diagnosis comprising administering a conjugate, compound, or composition of the invention to a patient in need thereof is also presented herein. The pharmaceutical composition can be used in the treatment of cancer. The pharmaceutical composition can be used for the diagnosis, imaging, or prevention of neoangiogenesis / angiogenesis. The pharmaceutical composition can be used as a cancer diagnostic or imaging agent or for use in the treatment of cancer where the cancer is prostate, breast, lung, colorectal, or renal cell carcinoma. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a radiohybrid agent having three separate fractions. The three separate residues are (a) one or more ligands capable of binding to PSMA, (b) a silicon fluoride acceptor residue (SIFA) comprising a covalent bond between a silicon and fluorine atom, and (c) one or more chelating groups containing a chelated radioactive or non-radioactive cation. While certain ligands capable of binding to a disease-relevant target molecule may be cyclic peptides, cyclic peptides are not chelating groups as envisaged herein, since the problem of the hydrophobic SIFA moiety is not resolved in the absence of an additional chelating group. Thus, the radiohybrids of the compositions of the invention require a hydrophilic chelating group in addition to the ligands capable of binding to PSMA. The hydrophilic chelating group is necessary to reduce the hydrophobic nature of the radiohybrids of the compositions caused by the presence of the SIFA moiety. The ligand in relation to the first aspect of the invention is defined in functional terms. This is because the present invention does not depend on the specific nature of the ligand in structural terms. Rather, a key aspect of the invention is the combination, within a single molecule, of a silicon fluoride acceptor and a chelating agent or chelate. These two structural elements, SIFA and the chelating agent, exhibit spatial proximity. Preferably, the shortest distance between any two atoms of the two elements is less than or equal to 25 Å, more preferably less than 20 Å, and even more preferably less than 15 Å. Alternatively, or furthermore, it is preferred that no more than 25 covalent bonds separate an atom of the SIFA moiety and an atom of the chelating agent, preferably no more than 20 chemical bonds, and even more preferably no more than 15 chemical bonds. The cation according to point (c) can be either radioactive or non-radioactive. Examples are given later. Consequently, the conjugates can be radioactively labeled in the SIFA residue or not radiolabeled in the SIFA residue. In the first case, the chelating group can be a complex of a cold (non-radioactive) ion or it can be devoid of any ion. In the latter case, the chelating agent will contain a radioactive cation. The present inventors discovered that placing the silicon fluoride acceptor in the vicinity of a hydrophilic chelating agent such as, but not limited to, DOTAGA or DOTA efficiently protects or compensates for the lipophilicity of the SIFA residue to an extent that changes the overall hydrophobicity of the compound within a range that makes the compound suitable for in vivo administration. An additional advantage of the radiohybrid compositions, especially the PSMA-targeted radiohybrids of the present invention, is their surprisingly low accumulation in the kidneys of mice compared to other PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals, such as PSMA I&T. Without wishing to limit ourselves to a particular theory, it appears to be the combination of the SIFA structural element with a chelating agent that provides the unexpected reduction in kidney accumulation. In a preferred embodiment, a ligand according to the invention comprises or consists of a peptide, a peptidomimetic, or a substituted urea, the substituents including amino acids. It is understood that a ligand comprising a peptide or peptidomimetic also comprises a non-peptide and non-peptidomimetic portion.

Detailed Description of the Invention Example 1: The gallium chelate of compound rh-PSMA-7.3 was prepared as described above in WO2019 / 020831 and EP19154500.3: rhPSMA-7.3 (D-Dap, (S)-DOTA-GA): QPfrZ ίη / ΖΖΠΖ / Ε / ΥΙΛΙ Fmoc-D-Dap(Dde)-OH (2.0 eq.) was pre-activated in a mixture of HOAt (2.0 eq.), TBTU (2.0 eq.), and 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (6.7 eq.) in DMF and added to the resin-bound peptide for 2.5 h. Deprotection of orthogonal Dde was performed using imidazole and hydroxylamine hydrochloride dissolved in a mixture of NMP and DMF for 3 h. SiFABA (1.5 eq.) with the free side-chain amine was reacted with HOAt (1.5 eq.), TBTU (1.5 eq.), and DIPEA (4.5 eq.) as activation reagents in DMF for 2 h. After deprotection with Fmoc (piperidine 20% in DMF (v / v, 8 ml / g resin) for 5 min and subsequently for 15 min, after which the resin was thoroughly washed with DMF (8 × 5 ml / g resin)), (R)-DOTAGA(tBu)4 (2.0 eq.) was conjugated with HOAT (2.0 eq.), TBTU (2.0 eq.) and 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (6.7 eq.) in DMF for 2.5 h.The resin cleavage with simultaneous deprotection of the acid-labile protecting groups was performed in TFA (the fully protected resin-bound peptide was dissolved in a mixture of TFA / TIPS / water (v / v / v; 95 / 2.5 / 2.5) and stirred for 30 min. The solution was filtered, and the resin was treated in the same manner for another 30 min. Both filtrates were combined, stirred for an additional 5 h, and concentrated under a stream of nitrogen. After dissolving the residue in a mixture of tert-butanol and water and subsequent lyophilization, the crude peptide was obtained). Complexation of the peptide with natGa was carried out. The peptide (1.0 eq.) was dissolved in a 3:1 (v / v) mixture of tBuOH in H2O, and an aqueous solution of Ga(NOa)3 (3.5 eq.) was added. After heating the resulting mixture for 30 min at 75°C, the peptide was purified by RP-HPLC. Marked with 18F Aqueous 18F was passed through a SAX cartridge (Sep-Pak Accell Plus QMA Carbonate light), which was preconditioned with 10 mL of water. After drying with 10 mL of air, the water was removed by rinsing the cartridge with 10 mL of anhydrous acetonitrile followed by 20 mL of air. The 18F was eluted with 100 pmol of [K+c2.2.2]OH- dissolved in 500 pL of anhydrous acetonitrile. Before labeling, 30 pmol of oxalic acid were added to anhydrous acetonitrile (1 M, 30 pL). This mixture was used whole or in aliquots for the fluoridation of 10–25 nmol of PSMA-SiFA (1 mM in anhydrous DMSO). The resulting reaction mixture was incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature. For tracer purification, a Sep-Pak C18 light cartridge was used, preconditioned with 10 mL of EtOH, followed by 10 mL of H2O. The labeling mixture was diluted with 9 mL of PBS (pH 3) and passed through the cartridge followed by 10 mL of H2O. The peptide was eluted with 500 µL of a 4:1 (v / v) mixture of EtOH in water.The radiochemical purity of the labeled compound was determined by radio RP-HPLC and radio-TLC (silica gel 60 RP-18 F254s, mobile phase: 3:2 (v / v) mixture of MeCN in H2O supplemented with 10% aqueous 2M NaOAc and 1% TFA). Alternatively, [18F]rhPSMA-7.3 can be prepared in an automated synthesis module by isotopic exchange between the [18F] fluoride ion and [19F] rhPSMA-7.3 as follows: Fluorine-18 in the form of the [18F] fluoride ion is prepared from the nuclear reaction 18O(p,n)18F in a cyclotron by irradiating [18F]-enriched water with protons. The [18F] fluoride is first immobilized on an ion-exchange resin to allow for the recovery of the [18F]-enriched water. The [18F] fluoride is then eluted with a solution of Cryptand 222 and potassium carbonate in acetonitrile and water. The eluate is transferred to the reaction vessel and evaporated by heating under a nitrogen flow. [19F] rhPSMA-7.3 in a solution of DMSO, acetonitrile, and acetic acid is added to the reaction vessel and reacted with the nucleophilic [18F] fluoride for at least 1 min to form [18F]rhPSMA-7.3. The crude [18F]rhPSMA-7.3 solution is diluted with water and purified by hydrophobic solid-phase extraction. Impurities are removed by washing the cartridge with water. [18F]rhPSMA-7.3 is eluted with an ethanol and water solution and formulated by diluting it with an isotonic buffer solution. The formulated solution is sterilized by filtration through a 0.2 µm filter. Dilution, if applicable, is performed using an isotonic sodium chloride injectable solution. The batches of material were prepared in a citrate buffer made of sodium citrate + HCl or in a citrate buffer made of citric acid + NaOH. Radiostability was measured in phosphate and citrate buffer solutions at various pH levels to compare the level of the correct 18F-Si compound and the decomposed free 18F: QPfrZ ίη / ΖΖΠΖ / Ε / ΥΙΛΙ QPfrZ ίη / ΖΖΠΖ / Ε / ΥΙΛΙ O Ξ o § LL <O oo ΣΤΓ T— θ'- <1 2.9 CXI LO 0.4 0.9 cxi HPLC G-49 T=6h Impureza @ 2.6 min [Área] 0.406 0.314 CO co o 0.119 0.131 0.084 TLC t=6h O Z5 O ___ — o~ co- 8'9 CO 3.75 2.7 2.5 4.3 [18F][natGa]· RhPSMA7.3 [%] 93.2 8'96 96.25 97.3 97.5 95.7 _cz o II. o ______1 1— [%] ojnjon|j[d8J 3.9 σ> 2.3 2.3 cq 2.2 [18F][natGa]RhPSMA7.3 [%] 96.1 98.1 97.7 97.7 98.4 97.8 pH T=0h 8.0 6.5 7.5 5.0 6.0 7.5 Diluent None 0.6 ml of 0.23 M phosphate buffer solution pH 6.0 0.6 ml of phosphate buffer solution pH 7.0 0.6 ml of 0.2 M citrate buffer solution pH 5.0 0.6 ml of 0.2 M citrate buffer solution pH 6.0 0.6 ml of 0.2 M citrate buffer solution pH 7.0 '8FrhPSMA in 50% ethanol 0.5 ml E 0.1 ml 0.1 ml EE o # Sample — CXI CO LO co or ΓM The most stable formulation was at pH 5.0 in citrate buffer.
