Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention is a divisional application of application No. 2021115423051, filed on December 16, 2021.
[0002] This invention relates to the fields of fluorescent contrast agents, radiopharmaceuticals, and nuclear medicine, specifically to the application of a polypeptide TP-6 in the preparation of tumor diagnostic and / or therapeutic reagents. Background Technology
[0003] Malignant tumors have become the "number one killer" threatening human health and life. Undoubtedly, the diagnosis and effective treatment of malignant tumors are urgently needed. As is well known, tumor-targeting molecular imaging probes are powerful tools for tumor diagnosis, staging, and intraoperative navigation. Among these, tumor-specific ligands are key to tumor-targeting molecular probes. Current methods for designing and screening targeted ligands mainly include computer-aided drug design, lead compound modification, discovery from metabolites, discovery from drug synthesis intermediates, combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening, isolation and extraction from natural compounds, phage display library screening, and "drug repurposing." James Black, the 1988 Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, proposed that the best path to new drug discovery begins with existing drugs. "Existing drugs" refer to marketed or clinically tested drugs with established pharmacokinetic and toxicological information, with high safety being their most prominent characteristic. The non-selective β-receptor antagonist propranolol and the first histamine H2 receptor antagonist cimetidine, developed by James Black, are typical examples of "drug repurposing." Propranolol is a classic drug for treating coronary heart disease and hypertension, and is now used to treat osteoporosis and melanoma; cimetidine is a revolutionary drug for treating peptic ulcers and has been proven to be suitable for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, HIV infection, etc.; Nature pointed out that metformin, in combination with another "drug repurposing" drug, heme, can be used to treat triple-negative breast cancer; and arsenic trioxide, commonly known as "arsenic," is a highly toxic substance, but recent research has found that it can be used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia. Therefore, the "drug repurposing" strategy has important guiding significance in drug development, and using this strategy to screen for targeted drugs for tumors is a rapid and effective method.
[0004] Thymopentin is an important bioactive substance in mammals, playing a crucial role in maintaining immune system balance and in anti-tumor and anti-microbial infection processes. Thymopentin is a fragment of amino acid residues 32-36 in thymopoietin II, retaining the biological activity of thymopoietin and possessing the same physiological functions and pharmacological effects as thymosin and thymopeptides extracted from the thymus. Based on the "drug repurposing" strategy, no further effects of thymopentin have been reported in current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0020] 2. Peptide-based in vivo molecular probes have unique advantages in terms of safety, and can significantly reduce drug development costs and risks;
[0021] Leveraging the tumor-specific targeting properties of thymopentin, fluorescent probes can be constructed by coupling peptides with fluorescent dyes. These probes can assist surgeons in precisely locating tumor boundaries during surgery, enabling accurate tumor resection. Furthermore, thymopentin and its derivatives can be coupled with radionuclides with diagnostic / therapeutic functions to construct corresponding radiopharmaceuticals, achieving the goals of tumor diagnosis and precise radiotherapy.

[0047] 1) Synthesis of near-infrared fluorescent dye MPA
[0048] Glacial acetic acid, p-hydrazinobenzenesulfonic acid, methyl isopropyl ketone, and sodium acetate were mixed and reacted, and the resulting product, 2,2,3-trimethyl[3H]-indole-5-sulfonic acid, was purified. Then, o-dichlorobenzene was added to a mixture of 2,2,3-trimethyl[3H]-indole-5-sulfonic acid and 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone to prepare 2,2,3-trimethyl-5-sulfonic acid-1-(3-sulfonic acid-propyl)-[3H]-indole. This product was then reacted with... N The reaction of -[(3-(anilinomethylene)-2-chloro-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)methylene]-anilinemonohydrochloride yields a green carbocyanine dye. Finally, the carbocyanine dye is reacted with mercaptopropionic acid and triethylamine to prepare a water-soluble near-infrared dye, MPA, through liquid-phase separation and purification.
[0049] 2) Synthesis of MPA-L-TP-X (X=1-10)
[0050] Ramage Amide AM resin with a loading of 0.45 mmol / g was selected, and after swelling, the Fmoc protecting group was removed. Following the peptide sequence, coupling was performed sequentially from the C-terminus to the N-terminus until the Fmoc-L-carboxyl group was reached. Small samples were cut, and the molecular weight of the peptide was determined by mass spectrometry. The side chains of Tyr, Asp, Lys, and Arg were protected with tBu, OtBu, Boc, and Arg, respectively. All amino acids used had the α-amino group protected by Fmoc. After confirming the correct mass spectrometry of the peptide Fmoc-L-TP-X-NH2, the Fmoc protecting group was removed, and a near-infrared dye MPA (1.2 times molar addition) was added for solid-phase reaction. The reaction was terminated after a negative ninhydrin test. MPA-L-TP-X-NH2, with all side-chain protecting groups removed, was obtained by reacting a lysis buffer (TFA: triisopropylsilane: water = 95:2.5:2.5) with a linear peptide resin. MPA-L-TP-X-NH2 was then dissolved in water and purified by semi-preparative chromatography. The liquid with acceptable purity was separated and collected by rotary evaporation and lyophilization to obtain the target product.
[0051] The preparation of radionuclide probes based on thymopentin and its derivatives is simpler than that based on their dimer form. The dimer structure contains thymopentin and its derivatives for targeting tumors and hydrazine nicotinamide (HYNIC), a bifunctional chelating agent for radiolabeling, as well as a linker L that increases the distance between thymopentin or its analogues and the radionuclide ligands N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylglycine (Tricine) and triphenylphosphine tris(m-sulfonate) sodium salt (TPPTS) and regulates the pharmacokinetic properties in vivo. L is selected from any one or more of 6-aminohexanoic acid, NH2-PEG3-COOH, NH2-PEG4-COOH, NH2-PEG6-COOH or NH2-GGGGGG-COOH.
[0052] By modifying the bifunctional chelating agent, different radionuclides can be coupled. For example, replacing hydrazine nicotinamide with any one of the following bifunctional chelating agents: 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid, 7-[(4-hydroxypropyl)methylene]-1,4,7-triazahybridizednonane-1,4-diacetic acid, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid, mercaptoacetyltriglycine, or diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid, can couple different radionuclides. 99m Tc can be replaced with 68 Ga、 64 Cu、 67 Ga、 90 Y、 111 In、 89 Zr or 177Lu. Or radioactive nuclides 124 I, 125 I, 131 I is directly labeled on Tyr in the structure of the free peptide TP-X to achieve the function of disease diagnosis / treatment.
