Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, and in particular to a compound, a pharmaceutical composition comprising or consisting of the compound, a kit comprising or consisting of the compound or pharmaceutical composition, and the use of the compound or pharmaceutical composition in diagnosing or treating diseases caused by fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and / or integrin α v Use in diseases characterized by overexpression of β3. Background Art
[0002] Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a membrane serine peptidase expressed on the surface of activated fibroblasts in the tumor stroma and plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors. Previous studies have shown that FAP is generally not expressed in normal human tissues, but is selectively and highly expressed on the surface of stromal fibroblasts in more than 90% of epithelial malignancies, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Given its widespread expression and important role in tumors, FAP has become an important target for tumor imaging and treatment. Radionuclide-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (FAPI), represented by quinolinic acid derivatives, have made important progress in the field of precise tumor imaging. For example, PET / CT imaging agents such as FAPI-02 and FAPI-04 have achieved specific imaging of more than 30 different types of tumors.
[0003] Integrin α v β3 (integrin α v β3) is a heterodimeric receptor located on the cell surface. It is rarely expressed in normal vascular endothelial and epithelial cells, but is highly expressed on the cell surface of various solid tumors such as lung cancer, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, glioblastoma and invasive melanoma. It is also highly expressed on the membrane of new blood vessels in all tumor tissues, suggesting that integrin α v β3 plays a key role in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Peptides containing the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequence can bind to integrin α v β3 specific binding. Various radionuclide-labeled RGD peptides have been successfully used in imaging studies of various tumor-bearing animal models. 18 F-Galacto-RGD has become the first non-invasive integrin α to enter clinical trials v β3-targeted tumor imaging agents have been successfully used in PET diagnosis of tumor patients and have shown good biological distribution and specific target recognition in clinical trials of glioblastoma.
[0004] Considering the heterogeneity of tumors, it is necessary to develop a new approach targeting FAP and integrin α in order to further improve the efficiency of tumor diagnosis and treatment. v Drugs that can target both β3 targets. Summary of the Invention
