Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway-targeting compound and its radionuclide labeling, preparation and application, belonging to the fields of radiopharmaceuticals and medical imaging technology. Background Technology
[0002] Tumor immunotherapy is revolutionizing cancer treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, which directly target programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), have shown promising clinical efficacy against various types of cancer and are considered among the most promising tumor immunotherapies today. Currently, several PD-1 / PD-L1 antibody drugs have been launched and achieved great success. PD-1 is an important immunosuppressive checkpoint, and its ligand is named PD-L1 or PD-L2. PD-L1 is a 40kDa type 1 transmembrane protein, primarily found on the surface of most tumor cells. Research has elucidated that the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway provides inhibitory signals, suppressing the activation of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells or CD4+ helper cells, thereby mediating tumor evasion of immune surveillance. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, by blocking the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway and reactivating the immune system's recognition and killing functions, have achieved remarkable therapeutic effects in cancer treatment. Recently, several immune antibodies targeting the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway have been used clinically, such as nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab. However, regrettably, not all cancer patients benefit from immunotherapy, and the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors is related to the individual subject's PD-L1 expression level. Therefore, accurately assessing a patient's PD-L1 expression is crucial for clinical treatment decisions.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for assessing PD-L1 expression are positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. Both PET and SPECT primarily utilize radiolabeled anti-PD-L1 antibodies, enabling real-time, quantitative, and visual assessment of PD-L1 expression in primary and metastatic tumors. Despite these significant achievements, the long clearance time of radiolabeled antibodies limits their clinical application. Compared to radiolabeled anti-PD-L1 antibodies, radioactive small molecule compounds do not have these drawbacks. Therefore, designing a radioactive small molecule compound targeting the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway for non-invasive and precise visual detection of PD-L1 in primary and metastatic tumors using PET / SPECT imaging technology is of great significance.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] This invention provides a PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway-targeting compound, characterized in that its structural formula is shown in formula (I) below:

[0066] The linking group 1 includes any one of the following structures:
[0067]

[0073] The main structure of this compound is a biphenyl-based structure, exhibiting good PD-1 / PD-L1 targeting. R2 is the labeling group to be labeled, primarily used to label radionuclides to obtain a PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway-targeting radionuclide label. This radionuclide label can be used as a probe for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET).

[0074] The R1 group is a small molecule linker that increases the distance between the targeting group and the coordination structure (i.e., the radionuclide labeling group), avoiding mutual interference and thus improving targeting and labeling efficiency. Simultaneously, the small molecule chain structure provides a good basis for regulating the lipid-water distribution properties of the entire molecule, thereby improving the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug, accelerating the clearance rate of the tracer in non-target tissues, and increasing the target / non-target ratio.

[0078] S3, reaction intermediate 2 is dissolved in the third solvent under ice bath conditions. After removing the ice bath, the mixture is slowly restored to room temperature and reacted for 1.5 to 2.5 hours. After the reaction is completed, the third solvent is removed and the mixture is purified to obtain reaction intermediate 3.
[0079] S4, when the R1 linker is not present, the reaction intermediate 3 is reacted with the active compound of R2 to obtain the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway targeting compound.
[0080] When R1 linker is present and is the linking group 1, reaction intermediate 3 is first linked to the R1 structure with R4 protection group through an amidation reaction to obtain reaction intermediate 4, and then deprotected to obtain reaction intermediate 5, which is then reacted with the active compound of R2 to obtain the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway targeting compound.
[0081] When R1 linker is present and is the linking group 2, reaction intermediate 3 is first linked to reaction intermediate 6 through an amidation reaction to obtain reaction intermediate 7, and then reacted with a peptide analog containing R2 structure with a thiol group (reaction intermediate 8) to obtain the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway targeting compound.
[0082] The reaction intermediates 1-8 have the following structures:
[0083]
[0084] The R2 active compound is any one of the following structures:
[0085]
[0086] The R4 protecting group includes tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc protecting group), Lys protecting group (DDE protecting group) or 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl protecting group (Fmoc protecting group).
[0087] In some embodiments, the first solvent is anhydrous toluene; the second solvent is anhydrous dichloromethane; and the third solvent includes one or more of hydrochloric acid-ethyl acetate, hydrazine hydrate, and piperidine-DMF.

[0089] This invention provides a method for preparing radionuclide markers of the above-mentioned PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway targeting compounds, wherein the radionuclide is introduced onto the above-mentioned PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway targeting compounds by wet or lyophilization methods.
[0090] In some embodiments, the wet process involves dissolving the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway targeting compound in a buffer solution or deionized water, then adding a solution containing a radionuclide, and reacting at room temperature to 100°C for 10 to 30 minutes to obtain the final product.

This is expected to provide a new imaging method for early non-invasive screening of PDL1 patients and monitoring PD-L1 expression levels during immunotherapy. The radionuclide markers of the PD-1 / PD-L1 pathway-targeting compounds can be prepared as injectable preparations for intravenous administration.
