Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to an aluminum fluoride labeled compound targeting FAP and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is highly expressed in the vast majority of epithelial cell-derived tumor-associated fibroblasts, but is lowly expressed in normal tissues and organs. It is closely related to tumor migration, angiogenesis, immune surveillance escape and other activities. Therefore, radionuclide-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) and its derivatives are promising cancer diagnosis and treatment tracers, which have attracted extensive attention and research.
[0003] 68 Ga-FAPI has been proposed as a promising PET tracer. However, the use 68 Ga-labeled radiotracers for PET imaging have disadvantages in terms of radionuclide supply. 68 Ga 3+ Produced by a generator, the yield is low and the half-life is short (only 68 minutes), which makes it impossible to achieve mass production and distribution, greatly limiting its diagnostic application in clinical promotion. The connecting chain between the targeting group and the chelating agent plays an important role in regulating the biological properties of radioactive drugs in the body. Radioactive drugs targeting FAP will be of great significance for the early diagnosis of tumors such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and melanoma. Summary of the invention
[0004] The connecting chain between the targeting group and the chelating agent plays an important role in regulating the biological properties of radiopharmaceuticals in the body.

[0145] Example 10 Biodistribution Experiment
[0146] Biodistribution studies were performed using female BALB / c nude mice bearing U87 MG tumors. BALB / c nude mice were purchased from Beijing Weitong Lihua Co., Ltd., China. They were cultured in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Approximately 5×10 6 U87 MG cells were injected subcutaneously into the left anterior axilla of female mice. Approximately 3 weeks later, when the tumor volume reached 100 mm 3 Can be used for experiments.
[0147] The marker (100 μL, 3.7 MBq) was injected into nude mice carrying U87MG via the tail vein. Each group of mice (n=3) was killed at 15, 30, 60, and 120 min after injection. Blood, brain, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, muscle, bone, intestine, stomach, and tumor were collected, and the 18F radioactivity was measured by a gamma counter, and then weighed.

[0158]
[0159] In U87MG tumor-bearing mice, at 15, 30, 60, and 120 min after injection, the tumor 18 The absolute uptake of [F]-compound 3 was 6.51±0.22, 4.24±0.65, 3.38±0.25 and 2.54±0.22%ID / g, respectively. 18 F]-FAPI-42 (2.23±0.2±0.48, 1.71±0.53, 0.41±0.09 and 0.22±0.02% ID / g at 15, 30, 60 and 120 min, respectively).
[0160] for[ 18 F]-compound 3, a higher tumor-to-blood ratio was observed at 60 and 120 min, which was significantly higher than that of [ 18 F]-FAPI-42 mice (5.72 vs. 1.14 and 9.84 vs. 1.22, respectively). At 15, 60, and 120 min, the radiotracer of the present application also had higher 18 F]-FAPI-42 tumor-to-muscle ratios (4.02 vs. 1.91, 5.51 vs. 1.29, and 4.86 vs. 1.53, respectively). 18 F]-compound 3 showed a higher tumor-to-brain ratio, far exceeding [ 18 F]-FAPI-42 (28.85 vs. 8.78, 28.41 vs. 8.82, 34.79 vs. 1.58 and 18.50 vs. 3.51). At 30, 60 and 120 min, mice [ 18 The tumor-lung ratio of compound 3 was also higher than that of [ 18 F]-FAPI-42 (2.14 vs. 0.69, 4.35 vs. 0.44, and 3.71 vs. 1.00, respectively). More importantly, at 60 and 120 min, [ 18 F]-tumor ratio of compound 3 18 F]-FAPI-42 tumors performed better (3.50 vs. 0.64 and 3.43 vs. 0.78, respectively).
[0161] In addition, the bone background of the radiotracer of the present application at 15, 30, 60 and 120 min after injection was lower than [ 18F]-FAPI-42 (tumor-to-bone ratio: 1.33 vs. 0.63, 1.65 vs. 0.67, 1.81 vs. 0.28, and 0.89 vs. 0.34, respectively).
[0162] As mentioned above, NOTA-FAPI-42 is a competitive FAP inhibitor with an IC 50 In mice that received NOTA-FAPI-42 (77 μg) and the above radiotracer (blocking studies), tumor uptake was significantly reduced (~91%) (0.31±0.05% ID / g 60 min after injection). Therefore, our biodistribution data, combined with the results of the above in vitro FAP inhibition experiments, suggest that [ 18 The good uptake of compound 3 in U87MG-bearing mice was due to the expression of FAP, while [ 18 F]-compound 3 may be a tumor imaging agent targeting FAP.

[0164] Will[ 18 F]-Compound 3 (approximately 3.7 MBq) was intravenously injected into mice bearing U87MG tumors. PET imaging was performed 1 h after injection.

[0165] Inhibition group 3 was a competitive FAP ligand (NOTA-FAPI-42, 77 μg) combined with [ 18 F]-Compound 3 was injected into nude mice carrying U87MG via the tail vein. PET imaging was performed 1 h after injection. At 60 min after injection, [ 18 F]-compound 3 showed good tumor imaging quality ( Figure 4 A). 18 F]-Compound 3 tumor imaging was clear, while uptake in muscle, brain, lung, blood, and liver was almost negligible.
[0166] After blocking with NOTA-FAPI-42 as a competitive FAP inhibitor, [ 18 PET imaging studies of [F]-compound 3 showed poor tumor uptake, indicating that [ 18 The good uptake of [F]-compound 3 in tumors is due to the expression of FAP ( Figure 4 B).
[0167] In the experiment, it was significantly concentrated in the tumor, while in the inhibition group 3, the tumor uptake was significantly reduced, indicating that [ 18 The uptake of [F]-compound 3 in tumors is specific, and the binding of the radioactive drug to the FAP-α receptor can be competitively replaced by active drug precursors at the same target, indicating that it can be used as a new type of PET molecular probe with excellent tumor affinity.
