Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine technology, and in particular to a compound DOTA-HX2-DZ and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing incidence of cancer every year, the development of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for malignant tumors has become an important topic in the medical field. At present, radionuclide drugs play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Radionuclide drugs can use the energy of radioactive isotopes to release radiation at the tumor site, killing cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues. The advantage of this treatment method is that it can provide more precise and effective treatment by targeting tumor cells. Radionuclide drugs have achieved good results in the diagnosis and treatment of many cancers, especially some difficult-to-treat malignant tumors, such as prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors.
[0003] In the development of radionuclide drugs, the stability and specificity of the compounds are two key factors. In order to effectively target tumor cells, radionuclide drugs usually need to be combined with specific targeting molecules, such as antibodies, peptide chains or small molecule compounds, which can recognize and bind to specific receptors or antigens on tumor cells. However, these conjugates usually face two major challenges: one is the problem of radioactive isotope off-labeling, that is, the radioactive isotope detaches from the targeting molecule, causing the radioactive drug to circulate in the blood and increase radiation damage to normal tissues; the second is the metabolic rate and targeting of the drug in the body, that is, how to ensure that the drug quickly reaches the tumor site after entering the body and stays in the tumor for a long time to exert its therapeutic effect.
[0004] Chinese patent CN112870389A discloses a DZ-1-Lys-DOTA conjugate complexed with a radioactive metal, comprising a heptamethylcarbocyanine dye group coupled to a DOTA group via a lysine crosslinker. However, it has deficiencies in terms of radiolabel stability, lipid solubility, and tumor retention time, which limits its anti-tumor therapeutic effect. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a compound DOTA-HX2-DZ and its application, which significantly enhances fat solubility, prolongs in vivo circulation and tumor retention time, improves the aggregation efficiency and anti-tumor effect of radiotherapy, and reduces nonspecific radiation damage by improving the connection mode and structural design.

[0034] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0035] 1. Significantly improved radioactive labeling stability: The present invention enhances the chelating ability of the chelator to the radionuclide by carefully selecting and optimizing the linker between the chelator DOTA and the targeting molecule DZ-HX2; the optimized linker design improves the binding strength between the radionuclide and the chelator, significantly reduces the risk of delabeling of radioactive metal ions in the in vivo environment, and ensures that the radionuclide plays a stable role in the targeted site; the improved labeling method makes the labeling rate of the radionuclide and DZ-HX2-DOTA exceed 95%, and exhibits a high degree of radiochemical stability in the in vivo and in vitro environments, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the drug.
[0036] 2. Prolong the in vivo circulation time and tumor retention time
[0037] By optimizing the molecular structure of DZ-HX2-DOTA, the lipid solubility of the molecule is increased, making it easier to penetrate cell membranes and vascular barriers, thereby improving the bioavailability of the drug; the increased lipid solubility allows the drug to remain in the blood circulation longer, increasing the chance of the drug reaching the tumor site and improving the enrichment in the tumor tissue; the drug's retention time in the tumor tissue is prolonged, ensuring that the radioactive nuclides continue to exert their therapeutic effects at the tumor site and enhancing the killing effect on tumor cells; the prolonged in vivo circulation and tumor retention time increase the cumulative dose of the drug at the tumor site, improving the efficiency of radiotherapy and reducing the number of treatments and dose requirements.
[0038] 3. Broad-spectrum tumor targeting characteristics, low toxicity and side effects
[0039] The DZ-HX2-DOTA in the present invention has a broad-spectrum tumor targeting property, can be used for diagnosis and treatment of various types of malignant tumors, and broadens the application scope of the drug; due to the optimized molecular structure, the drug is less distributed in normal tissues, and is quickly cleared through the liver and kidney pathways, reducing the radioactive exposure of non-target tissues; the low distribution and rapid clearance of the drug in normal tissues reduce the risk of radiation damage, and the toxic and side effects are negligible, thereby improving the tolerance and safety of patients; in various tumor models, DZ-HX2-DOTA shows significant anti-tumor activity, tumor growth is effectively inhibited, and the survival rate and quality of life of patients are improved, and has broad application prospects.

[0101] (3) PBS group.
[0102] After drug injection, the mental state and diet of mice in each group were observed every day. The weight and tumor volume of H1975 tumor-bearing animal models were measured every 2 days, and the tumor size was measured with a vernier caliper. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula: volume = length × width 2 ×1 / 2. The tumor-bearing animal models were sacrificed on the 16th day after administration. The main organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney) of each group of tumor-bearing models were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) to evaluate whether radionuclide therapy has toxic effects on normal organs. Finally, the tumor tissues of each group of tumor-bearing animal models were taken for HE and Tunel staining to evaluate the necrosis and tumor of tumor tissues.

[0116] Treatment trial results ( Figure 5 )show, 177 Lu-DOTA-HX2-DZ can effectively inhibit the growth of lung cancer and cervical cancer tumors without toxic side effects. Lung cancer relative tumor inhibition rate: TGI = 91.6%, initial treatment volume is 38.6mm 3 The body weight reduction rate of the high-dose group was 16%. Relative tumor inhibition rate of cervical cancer: TGI = 94.0%, the initial treatment volume was 97.3mm 3 , the weight loss rate of the high-dose group was 4%. Compared with the drug in comparative example 1 177 Lu-DOTA-Glucose-DZ, which had a higher relative tumor inhibition rate (94.0% vs. 91.4%). 177 Lu-DOTA-HX2-DZ has a better therapeutic effect on cervical cancer, which may be due to the fact that cervical cancer expresses more OATP and HIF-1 related to DZ-1 uptake. HE staining showed that there were no obvious abnormalities in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney in the treatment group and the control group.
