Abstract
Description
Bone-targeting radiopharmaceuticals and their uses Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear medicine technology, specifically relating to radiopharmaceuticals and their uses. Background Technology
[0002] Bone metastasis is a type of cancer metastasis caused by tumor invasion of the bone, and it is a common symptom in the late stages of many malignant tumors. Bone-related events caused by bone metastasis, such as bone pain, spinal cord compression, pathological fractures, and hypercalcemia, are major factors affecting patients' ability to move independently and their quality of life. The relative incidence of bone metastasis is 65-75% in breast cancer, 65-75% in prostate cancer, 60% in thyroid cancer, 30-40% in lung cancer, 40% in bladder cancer, 20-25% in renal cell carcinoma, and 14-45% in melanoma. Furthermore, the median survival time for patients with bone metastasis is: 19-25 months for breast cancer, 12-53 months for prostate cancer, 28 months for thyroid cancer, 6 months for lung cancer, 6 months for bladder cancer, 12 months for renal cancer, and 6 months for melanoma.
[0003] Currently marketed drugs for bone metastases include strontium chloride. 89 Drugs such as [Sr], pamidronate disodium, and denosumab (a human monoclonal antinuclear factor KB ligand receptor activator) have been used, but these drugs all have varying degrees of side effects, such as myelosuppression, which may cause increased pain within the first week of treatment; or effects on the musculoskeletal system, such as transient bone pain, myalgia, joint pain, and myoclonus. Denosumab is also expensive. Furthermore, these drugs have ultimately failed to improve the overall survival of patients with bone metastases. Therefore, the development of drugs to treat bone metastases is of great significance.
[0004] Radioligand therapy utilizes tumor-targeting carriers to deliver radioactive isotopes to lesions, precisely killing cancer cells. It typically consists of a targeting compound (ligand) and a therapeutic radioactive isotope (radioactive particle). Pluvicto, developed by Novartis, is a radiopharmaceutical that targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) for the treatment of PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It binds to PSMA-expressing prostate cancer cells, delivered by a radionuclide... 177 The beta rays emitted during the decay of Lu can damage tumor cells, causing cell death. Pluvicto's radiation only works over a very short distance, thus limiting the drug's damage to surrounding healthy cells. Lutathera is also a drug developed by Novartis. 177Lu-labeled somatostatin analogues are used to treat adult patients with unresectable or metastatic somatostatin receptor-positive gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. They act by binding to the somatostatin receptor in cells, which may be present on some tumors. After binding to the receptor, the drug enters the cell and releases radiation to damage tumor cells. Lutathera has effectively prolonged progression-free survival in patients.
[0005] Radioligand therapy boasts advantages such as high efficacy and safety, but currently, very few drugs are available on the market, and no bone-targeting radioligand drugs are yet available. Therefore, there is a significant demand for radioligand drugs to treat bone metastases, representing a vast market potential. Summary of the Invention

[0367] 3. Biodistribution and efficacy of drugs in mouse models of breast cancer bone metastasis
[0368] 3.1 Model Mouse Establishment
[0369] When human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231-Luc reached a confluence of over 80%, cells were collected for seeding at a seeding density of 1×10⁶ cells / year. 6 Tumor cells per animal. Several healthy 5-6 week old BALB / c nude female mice were selected and acclimatized for one week beforehand. The mice were anesthetized, and the left knee joint was disinfected with povidone-iodine. A hole was made in the distal femur, and tumor cells were injected using a microsyringe. The injection volume was 10 μL per animal. After injection, the hole was sealed with bone wax, sutured, and disinfected. The PerkinElmer small animal in vivo optical imaging system was used to measure the tumor fluorescence signal intensity using bioluminescence imaging technology to assess tumor growth. The signal intensity unit was p / s / cm² / sr.
[0370] 3.2 Biodistribution of tissues in a mouse model of breast cancer bone metastasis
[0371] 3.2.1 Experimental Methods
[0372] The animals were randomly assigned to five groups (groups 1-5) based on their body weight using a randomized controlled trial. The 30 selected BALB / c Nude mice with MDA-MB-231-luc tumor models were divided into these groups. The difference in body weight between groups was limited to ±20% of the mean body weight for the same sex. After grouping, there was no statistically significant difference in mean body weight among the groups at the 5.0% significance level. The dosage design for this experiment is shown in Table 10.
[0373] Table 10. Biodistribution of Model Mice and Dosing Regimens
[0374] 177 Lu-S18 labeled solution was diluted with physiological saline, and the corresponding activity was injected via tail vein. Animals were sacrificed at 0.5h, 2h, 24h, 120h, and 240h after administration. Whole blood, plasma, urine, brain, eyeballs, salivary glands, thyroid gland, heart, lungs, liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, kidneys, bladder, urethra, ovaries, uterus, femur (tumor-inoculated side), femur (contralateral side), knee joint (tumor-inoculated side), knee joint (contralateral side), tibia (tumor-inoculated side), tibia (contralateral side), bone marrow, muscle, fat, and tumor were collected. Tissue samples were weighed and their radioactivity was measured. For both the femur (tumor-inoculated side) and femur (contralateral side), the bone marrow was removed by centrifugation, and the samples were weighed before radioactivity measurement. Each sample was measured once using a gamma counter for 30 seconds, and all data were attenuated to the attenuation-corrected time point.
[0375] 3.2.2 Conclusion
[0376] For the MDA-MB-231-luc tumor model in female BALB / c Nude mice, a single intravenous injection of 20 mCi / kg was administered. 177 After Lu-S18, the radioactive material is mainly concentrated in bone tissues such as the knee joint, femur and tibia, and its elimination is slow, while the radioactivity distribution in other organs is relatively low.
[0377] Table 11. Biodistribution data of model mouse tissues at different time points
[0378] Note: NC: Samples with fewer than 3 samples were not included in the statistics. Radioactive material content in non-body fluid tissues is expressed as %ID / g, and radioactive material content in body fluids is expressed as %ID / mL.
[0379] This demonstrates that the compounds of this invention can rapidly target bone tissue in vivo, exhibiting high uptake and slow elimination. They also show low uptake and rapid clearance from blood and non-target organs, indicating good safety.
