Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of nuclear medicine, and relates to a somatostatin type 2 receptor inhibitor, a radionuclide complex thereof, a preparation method and an application. Specifically, it relates to a somatostatin type 2 receptor inhibitor and a radionuclide 188 Re or 99m a preparation method and an application of a Tc complex Background Art
[0002] Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) refer to a type of tumor that originates from stem cells, has neuroendocrine markers, and can produce bioactive amines and / or polypeptide hormones. It can occur in tissues and organs throughout the body. Among them, gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are the most common, accounting for 55%-70% of all neuroendocrine tumors. GEP-NETs are a group of tumors that originate from the neuroectoderm and contain neuroendocrine granules, and can exist in different parts of the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of NETs in European and American countries is about 2.5-5 per 100,000 people, and the incidence has increased by 5 times in the past 30 years. Compared with other types of tumors, the incidence of NETs has increased significantly. The overall incidence of NETs in China is also on the rise. Although the incidence of NETs is very low, once diagnosed, it will pose a great threat to the life and health of patients. Data shows that once the tumor metastasizes, the 5-year survival rate of patients may be only 35%. For patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors who progress during first-line somatostatin analogue treatment, the treatment options are limited, and there is an urgent need for an innovative therapy to meet the unmet medical needs in this field.
[0003] Somatostatin type II receptor (SSTR2) is a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), and its natural ligand is somatostatin (SST). SSTR2 is widely distributed in the body and is also highly expressed in a variety of neuroendocrine tumors. In vivo, SSTR2 is involved in the secretion regulation of multiple hormones, inhibits cell proliferation, and promotes cell apoptosis. It is an important target for the treatment of acromegaly and neuroendocrine tumors.
[0004] Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is a new technology that uses radioactive drugs that specifically target peptide receptors to kill tumor cells. The radioactive drug carries a radionuclide that can emit β rays and is chelated with a somatostatin analogue to achieve a targeting effect on overexpressed somatostatin receptors. After the drug binds to the receptor, it enters the cell and releases radiation to damage the tumor cells. Therefore, PRRT will be a new treatment option for NETs patients.
[0005] In 2010, Advanced Accelerator Applications obtained the global exclusive license for the somatostatin analogue 177 Lu-oxodotrotide. In the United States and the European Union, Lutathera has been granted orphan drug status. In October 2017, the European Union approved it for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. In early 2018, the FDA approved Lutathera for the treatment of adult patients with somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. In the pivotal randomized phase 3 clinical study NETTER-1, 177 compared with double-dose long-acting octreotide, Lu-oxodotrotide can significantly reduce the risk of disease progression or death by 79%. Only 5% of the patients showed dose-adjusted toxicity, and the overall safety was good. In another trial of patients with GEP-NETs, 16% of the patients had partial tumor shrinkage.
[0006] However, radionuclides such as lutetium-177 can only be obtained from reactors or proton accelerators, with high production costs and poor clinical accessibility due to production limitations. Based on the clinical accessibility problems and synthetic process deficiencies of existing small molecule inhibitors of somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2) labeled with radionuclides, the present invention provides a somatostatin receptor type 2 inhibitor, its radionuclide complex, preparation method and application.
[0007] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0037] After adopting the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.
[0038] (1) The preparation method of the SSTR2 small molecule inhibitor described in the present invention is a solid-phase synthesis method, and the preparation process is simple and efficient, and it is easy to realize automation.
