AI Technical Summary
Existing radiopharmaceuticals targeting FAP remain in the kidneys for too long, leading to the risk of radiation-induced nephrotoxicity. Furthermore, many patients are in the late stages of cancer, and their liver and kidney functions may be impaired. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the drug structure to reduce the accumulation in the liver and kidneys, which are metabolic organs.
Based on the structure of peptide FAP-2286, the linker portion was modified and monosaccharide or disaccharide molecules were introduced to form a novel glycopeptide. Radionuclide labeling was then used to optimize the ratio of tumor uptake and liver uptake.
It achieves higher tumor uptake and lower liver uptake, reduces radiation damage, and has better imaging results and clinical application potential.

Abstract
Description
A class of glycopeptides and radionuclide markers targeting tumor-associated fibroblast activation proteins and their applications Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of peptide technology that targets tumor-associated fibroblast activation protein (FAP), specifically to a class of FAP glycopeptides, their radionuclide labels, and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] The development of radiopharmaceuticals has become an important direction in new drug research and development both internationally and domestically, attracting the attention of numerous research institutions, enterprises, and the market. In particular, therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals targeting tumors, which can effectively diagnose and treat tumors with radionuclide therapy, represent a cutting-edge direction in current drug research. Examples include Lutathera (lutetium oxide octreotide), a radiolabeled peptide targeting the somatostatin receptor, and Pluvicto (formerly known as...), a radioactive small molecule targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). 177 Lu-PSMA-617 was also approved for marketing by the US FDA in 2018 and 2022, respectively.
[0003] Malignant tumors comprise both tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironment. The tumor microenvironment, also known as the tumor stroma, includes various non-malignant cells that collectively shape an environment conducive to tumor growth. Non-cancer stromal cells, through the production of various growth factors, chemokines, and cytokines, promote extracellular matrix remodeling, induce angiogenesis, induce cell migration, develop drug resistance, and evade immune surveillance, thereby promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. Studies have confirmed that tumor-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major component of non-cancer stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment, and fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is widely expressed on the surface of CAFs, making it a highly promising tumor biomarker.
[0004] FAP is a membrane-bound glycoprotein belonging to the dipeptidylpeptidase 4 (DPP4) family. It possesses both dipeptidyl peptidase and endopeptidase activities and shares 52% protein homology with DPP4. This protein consists of 760 amino acids, including a short intracellular region (6 amino acids), a transmembrane region (20 amino acids), and a large extracellular region (734 amino acids). In normal tissues, FAP is generally not expressed or expressed at very low levels, but it is overexpressed in fibroblasts (CAFs) and is also highly expressed in over 90% of epithelial tumors. It can directly promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of mesenchymal fibroblasts and other cell types, leading to tumor angiogenesis, extracellular matrix degradation, and evasion of immune surveillance.
[0005] Recent studies have shown that FAP is a very promising target for radiotherapy-guided therapies for tumors. The University of Heidelberg in Germany has successfully developed a series of small molecule probes targeting FAP, such as FAPI-02 and FAPI-04, and has used them... 68 Ga and 177 Lu-labeled radiopharmaceuticals have become a form of integrated diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceutical. Clemens Kratochwil et al. evaluated a total of 80 patients. 68 Ga-FAPI PET / CT scans were used by these patients. 18 F-FDG imaging or other traditional imaging methods cannot provide accurate diagnosis, but when drug administration is involved... 68 Following Ga-FAPI-04, 54 primary tumors and 229 metastatic lesions were detected among the 28 cancer types included in the analysis [Kratochwil C., et al.(68)Ga-FAPIPET / CT:Tracer Uptake in 28Different Kinds of Cancer.J Nucl Med,2019,60(6),801-805.]. 18 Compared to F-FDG, 68 Ga-FAPI-04 can detect more primary and metastatic tumor lesions. This probe can accurately diagnose and stage metastatic lesions of various tumors, showing great promise for application and potentially becoming a widely used screening and radionuclide therapy tool in clinical oncology. Furthermore, the imaging procedure of this probe is simplified, requiring no fasting or blood sugar control, making it more acceptable to patients.
[0006] FAP-2286, a cyclic peptide probe targeting FAP, consists of a 7-amino acid cyclic peptide and a metal ligand moiety, with an affinity ranging from 0.4 to 1.4 nM. It is compatible with small molecule FAP inhibitor probes. 177 Compared to the Lu-FAPI series 177 Lu-FAP-2286 still showed a high tumor uptake signal 72 hours after administration, while FAPI-46 showed only a weak signal in tumors. Therefore, radiotherapy drugs based on the cyclic peptide FAP-2286 have greater research and development potential in tumor treatment.
[0007] at present, 68 Ga-FAP-2286 and 177 The study of Lu-FAP-2286 is currently in Phase I / II clinical trials (NCT04939610). Although 68 Ga-FAP-2286 and 177Lu-FAP-2286 exhibits high uptake in tumors with high FAP expression, but its retention time in the kidneys is relatively long. At 3h, 24h, and 72h after administration, its uptake levels are 2.2% ID / g, 1.1% ID / g, and 0.6% ID / g, respectively, all higher than the small molecule probe FAPI-46, which can easily cause radiotoxic nephropathy or increase the renal burden [Zboralski D., et al. Preclinicale evaluation of FAP-2286 for fibroblast activation protein targeted radionuclide imaging and therapy. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging, 2022, 49(11), 3651-3667.]. Although radiopharmaceuticals themselves do not cause damage to normal tissues under normal use due to small dosages, when they accumulate in large quantities and remain for a long time, the cumulative effect of long-term radioactivity can cause radiation damage to normal tissues. Furthermore, most patients receiving radiotherapy are in the late stages of cancer and have undergone radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and may have some liver and kidney dysfunction or underlying diseases.
[0008] Therefore, renal retention time is a crucial factor to consider in radiopharmaceutical research and should be a primary focus from the outset of drug design. Modifying the structure of this molecule to reduce its accumulation in liver and kidneys while maintaining high tumor uptake, and developing a "best-in-class" FAP-targeting cyclic peptide radiopharmaceutical with independent intellectual property rights, possesses significant clinical translational value and feasibility. Summary of the Invention
[0009] This invention modifies the linker portion forming the cyclic peptide based on the structure of peptide FAP-2286, and further introduces monosaccharide or disaccharide molecules to obtain a series of novel glycopeptides. After radiolabeling, these glycopeptides exhibit superior tumor uptake and lower liver uptake compared to FAP-2286, resulting in better imaging outcomes. This facilitates the development of candidate radionuclide therapeutics with further research value, and ultimately yields a "best-in-class" FAP-targeting cyclic peptide radiopharmaceutical with independent intellectual property rights.

[0127]
[0128] Example 6 68 Preparation of Ga-labeled compounds
[0129] Radiolabeled compounds were prepared using compounds g, g4, and FAP-2286 as precursors, respectively, via the following method. 68 Ga-g, 68 Ga-g4 and 68 Ga-FAP-2286.
[0130] S1: Take 1 μL of the precursor compound dissolved in dd water (concentration of 10 μg / μL) into an EP tube, and add 180 μL of 3M sodium acetate to adjust the pH.
[0131] S2: Add 400 μL of 0.6 M radioactive material.68 Ga was reacted in an EP tube at 95°C for 10 min;
[0132] S3: After the reaction, paper chromatography was performed to determine the purity. The developing solvent was methanol:1M ammonium formate = 1:1. If the purity was not above 90%, purification was performed using a Sep-Pak C18 column. The specific procedure was as follows: first, activate with 20 mL of anhydrous ethanol, then rinse once with 20 mL of dd water. Load the radioactive sample, then elute with 75% ethanol, discarding the first 500 μL of product. Each 100 μL tube was used as one tube, and the radioactive dose was measured. The tube with the highest radioactive dose was taken as the final product. 68 Ga-labeled products.
[0133] Example 7 68 PET imaging methods for Ga-labeled compounds in the glioblastoma model U87
[0134] Prepared using Example 6 68 Ga-g4 and 68 Ga-FAP-2286 was used as a radiolabeled compound in imaging experiments.
[0135] Approximately 150 μCi of radiolabeled compound was injected into mice with a glioblastoma model (U87 cells) via the tail vein. After 10 minutes, the mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and placed in a Siemens mouse PET / CT scanner for a 10-minute CT scan and a 15-minute PET scan.
[0136] The results are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. Figure 1 shows the injection. 68 Imaging images at 30 min, 1 h, and 2 h after Ga-FAP-2286 injection. Figure 2 shows the injection... 68 Imaging images of Ga-g4 at 30 min, 1 h, and 2 h. Comparing the results in Figures 1-2, it can be seen that... 68 Compared to Ga-FAP-2286, 68 PET / CT imaging at 30 min showed higher uptake by the tumor and lower uptake by the liver in Ga-g4; secondly, due to 68 Ga-g4 metabolic ratio 68 Ga-FAP-2286 is faster and can better reduce radiation damage in the body.
[0137] The uptake rate of the radiolabeled compound was obtained by directly quantifying the imaging results using software, and the results are shown in Table 4.
[0138] Table 4. Uptake rates of tumors, liver, and kidneys
[0139]
[0140]
[0141] As shown in Table 4, the present invention 68 Ga-g4 uptake in tumors after injection is superior to 68 Ga-FAP-2286 has lower uptake by the liver and kidneys, resulting in better imaging results and reduced radiation damage in the body.
[0142] Example 8: SPR surface plasmon resonance determination of affinity Kd
[0143] The affinity Kd between FAP protein and FAP-2286, compounds g, and g1 was determined by surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
[0144] The experiment was conducted in a Biacore T200 device (GE) according to the operating manual. CM5 series chips with carboxyl groups were used. The coupling conditions were selected as pH 5.5, and the regeneration conditions as Glycine-HCl pH 2.0. The obtained affinity data are shown in Table 5.
