Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to nucleotide compounds and their preparation methods and applications, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of nucleotide compounds, radionuclide targeting probes and their preparation methods and applications, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of radionuclide targeting probes, and pharmaceutical compositions. Background Technology
[0002] CD73 (extracellular 5′-nucleotidase) is a multifunctional transmembrane protein composed of 532 amino acids encoded by the NT5E gene. It is anchored to the plasma membrane after binding to glucosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) via a C-terminal serine residue, forming a non-covalently bound homodimer with variable conformation. CD73 exists in two conformations: "open" and "closed." The "closed" conformation exposes the active binding site, allowing binding to the substrate 5′-adenosine monophosphate (AMP), providing a theoretical basis for the rational design of CD73 small molecule inhibitors. CD73 is expressed on the surface of various cells, including dendritic cells (DC cells), regulatory T cells (Treg cells), NK cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC cells), tumor-associated macrophages (TAM cells), and cancer cells, and is an important component of the purine pathway. This pathway utilizes the sequential degradation of CD39 (exonucleoside triphosphate diphosphate hydrolase-1) and CD73 to convert extracellular ATP into extracellular adenosine (ADO), involving biological processes including neurotransmission, platelet aggregation, regulation of immune responses, smooth muscle contraction, and control of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In tumor tissues, ADO interacts with specific G protein-coupled receptors (A1R, A2AR, A2BR, and A3R) to remodel different types of cells, including the infiltration of immune cells and tumorigenic angiogenesis, promoting tumorigenesis and metastasis, thus acting as a potent immunosuppressive molecule.
[0003] In recent years, tumor immunotherapy has become a research hotspot in both academia and industry, bringing revolutionary changes to tumor treatment models. While immune checkpoint inhibitors, represented by PD-1 / PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, have shown promise, low response rates remain a significant challenge for clinical application. The main reasons for this are: individual differences and heterogeneity in biomarker expression; suppression of immune cell infiltration and function in the tumor microenvironment; and the emergence of primary or even adaptive resistance to immunotherapy. Therefore, transforming "cold tumors" that are unresponsive or poorly responsive to immunotherapy into "hot tumors" is a current research focus. In the purine pathway, adenosine, converted from extracellular ATP through the synergistic action of CD39 and CD73, is a key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity in the tumor microenvironment. Increasing research indicates that tumor cells can utilize the CD73-mediated adenosine production mechanism to evade the immune system. The CD73-adenosine pathway is strongly correlated with tumor occurrence and development, and a growing body of research emphasizes the potential value of this target, which is expected to become a new biomarker for personalized cancer treatment.
[0004] CD73 is overexpressed in various solid tumors, such as breast cancer, melanoma, and colorectal cancer, directly or indirectly promoting tumor growth, metastasis, angiogenesis, and the development of drug resistance. Due to factors such as tissue hypoxia, inflammation, and cytotoxic stress, the tumor microenvironment upregulates CD73, and the adenosine produced by this upregulation can strongly inhibit the immune activity of various immune cells, especially T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APCs). On the other hand, adenosine can promote the proliferation of Treg cells and enhance their inhibitory activity, stimulating macrophage M2 polarization, thus providing conditions for tumor formation and metastasis. Furthermore, studies have shown that radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and the use of PD-1 / PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies significantly upregulate CD73 expression, subsequently leading to immunosuppression through the catalytic production of adenosine, resulting in acquired drug resistance. Targeting CD73 can produce good anti-tumor effects, and by inhibiting adenosine production, the inhibitory effect of the tumor microenvironment on immune cells can be alleviated. Therefore, the combination of CD73 inhibitors with immunomodulators (such as CTLA-4 and PD-1 / PD-L1 antibodies) is a highly attractive option. This strategy effectively compensates for the inherent limitations of immunotherapy, transforming "cold tumors" into "hot tumors," thereby producing a "1+1>2" therapeutic effect. Its synergistic effect has become a new hot topic in anti-tumor research. Considering the complexity and heterogeneity of tumor immune targets, image-guided tumor immunotherapy is receiving increasing attention. Following the great success of immunoPET / SPECT targeting immune checkpoints such as PD-1 / PD-L1, how to construct specific probes for the key immune target CD73 and "tailor-make" nuclear medicine imaging protocols around it has become a key focus for researchers.
[0005] Both research into immune mechanisms and clinical needs demonstrate the rationale and necessity of constructing molecular probes targeting CD73. However, to date, research using molecular imaging techniques to obtain in vivo CD73 information is very limited, and there are no reports of using specific radioactive small molecule probes to image tumor CD73 expression and guide or combine with CD73 inhibitor therapy. Therefore, developing high-resolution molecular imaging technology PET / SPECT combined with highly sensitive and specific CD73-targeting probes is of great significance for accelerating research on related immune mechanisms, deepening our understanding of this target, and broadening the application scope of immunotherapy.

This invention introduces a molecular chain L with adjustable chain length between the nucleotide targeting group and the coordinating structure R3, which can adjust the distance between the targeting group and the coordinating structure, reducing the influence of the coordinating structure on the compound's activity. Simultaneously, by connecting with different types of radionuclide chelating groups, this structure can alter the lipid-water distribution properties of the radionuclide targeting probe, thereby obtaining radionuclide targeting probes with different polarities. Furthermore, the small molecule polarity change can improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the radionuclide targeting probe, accelerate the clearance rate of the tracer in non-target tissues, enhance the affinity between the radionuclide targeting probe and the receptor, increase the uptake of the radionuclide targeting probe in lesions with high CD73 protein expression, increase the target / non-target ratio, and thus give it excellent in vivo biological performance. This property can reduce unnecessary radiation damage to normal tissues and organs, making it ideal for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Furthermore, this radionuclide marker can also be used in combination with other immune checkpoint inhibitors (such as PD-1 / PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies) for combination therapy.
[0037] The radionuclide markers provided by this invention enable visualized and quantitative analysis of the dynamic expression of CD73 in the tumor microenvironment through nuclear medicine imaging techniques. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional detection methods, such as sampling errors and poor accuracy, and provides a new research method for exploring the role of CD73 in tumor occurrence and development.

[0230] 100 μL of the diluted radionuclide targeting probe was added to a centrifuge tube containing 0.9 mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) and 1 mL of n-octanol. The tube was vortexed for 3 min, then centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 5 min. 100 μL of liquid was taken from both the aqueous and n-octanol phases and counted for radioactivity using a gamma counter. The experiment was repeated three times, and the average value was taken. The formula for calculating LogP is:
[0231] P = I 有机相 / I 水相
[0232] Among them I 有机相 Represents the radioactivity count measured in the organic phase, I 水相 This represents the radioactivity count measured in the aqueous phase. The lipid-water distribution coefficient of each radiolabeled target probe was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1 below; the measured radionuclide target probes exhibit water solubility.

[0263] In summary, the CD73-mediated radionuclide targeting probes provided by this invention exhibit specific binding to CD73 protein at both the cellular and in vivo levels. Currently, there are no reports of related small-molecule radionuclide targeting probes. Cell uptake and inhibition experiments show that the radionuclide targeting probes provided by this invention can be efficiently taken up by the CD73-highly-expressing cell line MDA-MB-231 and can be significantly inhibited by the CD73 inhibitor AB680. Cell affinity experiments show that the CD73 affinity of the radionuclide targeting probes reaches the nanomolar level. In different mouse tumor models, including but not limited to breast cancer and melanoma, the radionuclide targeting probes can accumulate in tumor regions with high CD73 expression, and PET imaging results are good, indicating that this series of radionuclide targeting probes has the potential to become novel diagnostic and therapeutic agents based on the CD73 target.
