Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear medicine, and in particular relates to a radioactive tracer composition and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Major diseases such as tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have increasingly threatened human health, especially tumors, the incidence of which has been increasing year by year in my country. Tumor heterogeneity is an important feature of malignant tumors. Tumor heterogeneity is not only manifested in the differences in genotype and phenotype between the same type of malignant tumors in different patients, tumors in different parts of the same patient's body, and cells within the tumor, but also in the diversity of the composition, function and markers of the tumor microenvironment. The heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment may control the development and progression of tumors and is considered to be a driving factor for tumor aggressiveness, treatment resistance, progression-free survival and poor overall survival. Malignant tumors often show significant tumor microenvironment heterogeneity, which poses a major challenge to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The tumor microenvironment has developed into an important target for disease diagnosis and treatment and new drug development.
[0003] Positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) have high sensitivity and specificity. PET / CT can not only provide anatomical information, but also characterize tumor biology and heterogeneity, and guide the selection of the most appropriate treatment method. Among them, the highly specific and sensitive PET imaging technology is an important basis for accurate diagnosis and treatment. In addition, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and radionuclide therapy also play a unique role in tumor diagnosis and treatment, and can accurately solve the problem of integrated visualization diagnosis and treatment of the same radionuclide for tumors. And the precise diagnosis and treatment of nuclear medicine is inseparable from the cooperation of specific targeted tracers.
[0004] At present, there are many monomer tracers that have shown significant diagnostic and therapeutic effects in clinical practice, such as targeted glucose transporter tracers, targeted FAP monomer tracers, and targeted GPC3 monomer tracers. However, due to the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment, the diagnostic and therapeutic effects of monomer tracers targeting a single target on tumors are not ideal. Different types of tumors or the same type of tumors have different tumor uptake of monomer tracers, resulting in the inability of monomer tracers to accurately reflect and describe the complex biological characteristics of tumors.
[0005] In the prior art, the deficiency of single tracers is compensated by using dual tracers for PET imaging. Dual tracer PET imaging utilizes the different targeting properties of different single tracers to tumor tissue components, and can provide complementary diagnostic information, thereby more comprehensively reflecting the biological characteristics of the tumor, improving diagnostic accuracy and improving patient management. Dual tracer PET imaging is mainly divided into: (1) dual tracer imaging in two times; (2) dual tracer imaging in two times in a row; (3) dual tracer imaging in a single time. Among them, the dual-tracer imaging with divided administration is the most widely used combined dual-tracer PET imaging in clinical diagnosis. However, since different tracers need to be injected at different times and corresponding PET / CT scans need to be performed, it not only prolongs the examination time, but also increases the time the patient is exposed to radiation, which has a certain impact on the patient. Although the continuous administration of dual tracers for imaging twice can reduce the examination time, the problem of radiation exposure is still not solved. The single administration of dual tracers for simultaneous imaging can image the two monomer tracers at a time, but since the two monomer tracers exist independently and are not combined into a single preparation, the two different monomer tracers will have composition differences, which will affect the quality of imaging to a certain extent, thereby affecting the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Summary of the invention

Relevant organs and tumors were collected and weighed, and then their radioactivity was measured with a γ counter. After decay correction, the radioactivity of the tissue was calculated as the percentage of injected dose per gram of tissue (% ID / g).
[0177] The biodistribution results showed Figure 6 As shown, 18 F-FAPT,18 Compared with F-FDG, three radioactive concentration ratios were used. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG showed higher tumor uptake in mouse U87MG xenografts. Specifically, radioactivity concentration ratios of 5 / 5 and 6 / 4 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The tumor uptake rate of F-FDG is higher, such as Figure 6 As shown in part A. In mice bearing HuTu80 / PC3 xenografts, 18 Compared with F-FDG, the radioactivity concentration ratio was 5 / 5 and 6 / 4. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The uptake rate of F-FDG was higher in HuTu80 tumors (p<0.001). 18 Compared with F-FAPT, the radioactivity concentration ratio was 5 / 5 and 4 / 6. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The uptake rate of F-FDG was higher in PC3 tumors (p<0.001). The results of biodistribution studies showed that 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The optimal radioactivity concentration ratio of F-FDG is 5 / 5, which is consistent with the results of corresponding PET imaging studies, such as Figure 6 As shown in part B.
[0178] In normal organ distribution, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG uptake is relatively high in the brain, liver, heart, and lungs. 18 F-FDG is low, which is helpful for detecting lesions in these organs. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 Physiological radioactivity level of F-FDG 18 F-FDG is similar (except in blood, pancreas, and spine). However, the physiological uptake in the pancreas, blood, and spine is 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG uptake is lower than 18 F-FAPT. 18 F-FAP T+ 18 F-FDG has the advantages of high tumor uptake value and low physiological uptake value in normal tissues and organs. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG has the ability to better detect cancer and clearly delineate lesions.

[0182] Example 9 Radiotracer composition 18 F-FAPT+ 18 Abnormal toxicity experiment of F-FDG
[0183] According to the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, 0.5 ml was injected intravenously into 5 Kunming mice (6 weeks old, 20-25 g) within 30 seconds. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG. This administration is intended to assess 18 F-FAPT+ 18 Unusual toxicity test of F-FDG regimen.
[0184] Mice were observed for signs of death within 48 hours after administration. After 48 hours, mice were euthanized, and organs of interest (including brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney, and spleen) were collected for further analysis. Figure 8 , in injection 18 F-FAPT+ 18 No death-related signs were observed in the five Kunming mice within 48 hours after F-FDG. After this, the organs of interest (brain, e.g. Figure 8 As shown in part A), heart (as shown in Figure 8 Lungs (as shown in part B) Figure 8 C), liver (as shown in Figure 8 As shown in D), kidney (as shown in Figure 8 E) and spleen (as shown in Figure 8 HE staining was performed as shown in part F of the figure.

[0185] Example 10 Radiotracer composition 18 F-FAPT+ 18 Clinical Research of F-FDG
[0186] The PET / CT imaging study was performed using a uEXPLORER scanner (China United Imaging Corporation). This clinical trial study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Chinese Clinical Trial Registration and registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200059004). A 44-year-old female breast cancer patient was included in the pilot study before treatment and signed an informed consent.
[0187] According to the results of preclinical experiments 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The optimal radioactivity concentration ratio of F-FDG is 5 / 5. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG( 18 F-FAPT: 1.85MBq / kg, 18 F-FDG: 1.85MBq / kg) was performed PET / CT 60 minutes later, and the next day, the patient underwent paired 18 F-FDG PET / CT scan (3.7MBq / kg) was performed 60 minutes later. The maximum standardized uptake value (SU Vmax) was used to show the radiotracer uptake in normal organs and lesions, which was automatically calculated by the workstation after delineating the region of interest. The patient did not report any drug-related side effects.
[0188] The results of the study show that Fig. 9 , 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG is mainly excreted through the renal-bladder system. 18 F-FAPT+ 18F-FDG uptake is relatively low in the lungs, breast, liver, gallbladder, bile duct system, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, muscle, and bone, which accounts for the higher tumor-to-background ratio. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG uptake was moderate, below 18 F-FDG (6.60vs 12.18). In addition, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The uptake of F-FDG in the submandibular gland (SUVmax, 7.16), thyroid gland (SUVmax, 5.36), and pancreas (SUVmax, 5.03) was moderate, which was lower than that reported in previous studies. 18 F-FAPT.
[0189] In this breast cancer patient, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG PET / CT and 18 F-FDG PET / CT (SU Vmax, 10.70 vs 12.80) can clearly show primary breast tumor lesions and show high tumor uptake. 18 Compared with F-FDG PET / CT, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG PET / CT showed additional metastatic lesions with higher uptake (SUVmax of lymph node metastasis 1 was 3.00 vs 1.30; SUVmax of lymph node metastasis 2 was 6.50 vs 4.70).
[0190] Example 11 Radiotracer composition 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 Clinical Research of F-FDG
[0191] use 68 Ga-FAPT and 18 F-FDG is used to prepare a radioactive tracer composition with an optimal radioactivity concentration ratio of 5 / 5 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG, radio-HPLC detection of radiotracer composition 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 Whether the retention time of each component monomer probe of F-FDG is consistent with that of the single tracer, as well as the percentage of radioactivity of each component monomer probe, confirm the authenticity of the prepared injection solution. The radiochemical purity is greater than 95%. Fig.10 shown.
[0192] Through 18 A prospective clinical study comparing F-FDG head to head to evaluate68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG was used to examine the tumors in patients. Eight patients were recruited and the first day was 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG PET / CT scan, then the next day 18 F-FDG PET / CT scan.
[0193] Image reconstruction: After the PET / CT scan is completed, image reconstruction is performed based on the CT image data according to different nuclides, and reconstructed images of different nuclides are obtained, which are 18 F image and 68 Ga image, then use 18 F image and 68 The Ga image is fused by multi-nuclide image fusion technology. Multi-nuclide image fusion technology: First, the two scanned CT images are registered (python ants registration toolkit), the deformation field between the two CT acquisitions is obtained, and one of the nuclide PET images is fixed (fixed image, 18 F image), applying the CT deformation field to another nuclide PET image (floating image, 68 Ga image) to obtain a registered two-nuclide PET image, and then the two PET images are added to obtain a simulated multi-nuclide fusion image. On the PET image, if the SUVmax of the uptake of the lesion exceeds the SUVmax of the probe uptake of the adjacent background tissue and is accompanied by CT abnormalities, the lesion is positive. Lesions are divided into primary lesions and metastatic lesions. The mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) is used to display the uptake of normal organs and radioactive tracers, and is automatically calculated by the workstation after delineating the region of interest. If there are more than 50 metastatic lesions in the same organ of the same patient, any 10 lesions are selected under a random field of view (5X) for measurement (a total of 50); if the number of metastatic lesions in the same organ of the same patient does not exceed 50, they are measured one by one.
[0194] Tumor SUVmax / mean measurement: 18 SUVmax / mean measured on the reconstructed PET / CT image, abbreviated as SUVmax / mean- 18 F; in 68 SUVmax / mean measured on the PET / CT image reconstructed by Ga, abbreviated as SUVmax / mean- 68 Ga; according to 68 Ga-FAPT and 18The SUVmax / mean after the F-FDG injection dose ratio is converted is abbreviated as SUVmax / mean-dual. The injection dose ratio conversion formula is: SUVmax / mean-dual = SUVmax / mean- 18 F*A / (A+B)+SUVmax / mean- 68 Ga*B / (A+B), A is 18 The actual injected dose of F-FDG, B is 68 The actual injection dose of Ga-FAPT; 18 The SUVmax / mean measured on the reconstructed image after F-FDG PET / CT scanning is abbreviated as SUVmax / mean-FDG.

[0196] TBR B -X=SUVmax-X(Tumor) / SUVmean-X(Brian)
[0197] TBR L -X=SUVmax-X(Tumor) / SUVmean-X(Liver)
[0198] TBRc-X=SUVmax-X(Tumor) / SUVmean-X(mediatinal blood pool)
[0199] X= 18 F, 68 Ga, dual or FDG
[0200] As Fig.11 As shown, SUVmean- 18 F. SUVmax- 68 Ga and SUVmean-dual were compared with individual 18 Comparative analysis of SUVmean of F-FDG: 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG is mainly excreted through the renal-bladder system and is found in most tissues and organs. 18 The distribution of F-FDG is consistent with that of PD-1, maintaining a low radioactivity level. 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG(SUVmean- 18 F、SUVmean- 68The uptake values of Ga and SUVmean-dual were lower than 18 F-FDG, but uptake is higher in some glands (parotid, submandibular, thyroid, pancreas) and in the blood pool 18 F-FDG, which is due to 68 The pharmacokinetic characteristics of Ga-FAPT are affected. 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG exhibits low background signal in tumor patients, which is beneficial for producing high-contrast images.
[0201] In terms of the diagnosis of the primary lesions of the tumor, six primary tumors were pathologically diagnosed in seven patients, and all of these tumors could be 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG and 18 F-FDG was detected (6 / 6 vs 6 / 6, as shown in Table 2). B (1.58±1.34vs 2.65±2.42, p>0.05) and TBR L (6.04±5.17vs 7.37±7.17, p>0.05), 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG was higher than 18 F-FDG, which is due to 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG uptake in the brain and liver is low, resulting in a high tumor-to-background signal ratio; C (7.43±6.42vs 6.25±5.80, p>0.05), 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG is slightly lower than 18 F-FDG, as shown in Table 3, due to 68 Ga-FAPT has the property of binding to albumin, which leads to an increase in the background signal of the blood pool.
[0202] Regarding the diagnosis of tumor metastasis, a total of 282 metastatic lesions were identified in 7 tumor patients, and most of the metastatic lesions (lymph nodes, lungs, liver, bones, peritoneum, etc.) could be 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG and 18 F-FDG detected (280 vs 272, p>0.05, as shown in Table 2), reflecting 68 Ga-FA PT+ 18 F-FDG has 18 F-FDG has a comparable diagnostic performance. Fig.12As shown in the figure, in a patient with rectosigmoid colon cancer with lymph node metastasis and extensive metastasis to both lungs, 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG and 18 Like F-FDG, both can clearly show primary tumor lesions and metastatic lesions. B (0.87±0.71vs1.43±0.09, p<0.001) and TBR L (2.29±2.43vs.3.23±2.28, p>0.05), 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG was higher than 18 F-FDG. In TBR C (3.98±3.22vs3.14±2.51, p<0.001), 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG is slightly lower than 18 F-FDG, as shown in Table 3. For metastatic lesions in different tissues and organs, 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG can detect more metastatic lesions in the lungs and lymph nodes, which may indicate 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG ratio 18 F-FDG can detect more small metastatic lesions. 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG has higher tumor uptake and lower background signal, which is beneficial for the detection of small lesions. Fig.13 As shown in the figure, in a patient with gastric cancer and multiple lymph node metastases and multiple peritoneal metastases, 68 Ga-FAPT+ 18 F-FDG can clearly show posterior mediastinal lymph node metastases. 18 F-FDG was negative.

[0216] In mice bearing U87MG xenograft tumors, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P, 18 F-IP B-GPC3P and 18 F-FAPT can show U87MG tumors, such as Fig.16 shown.18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IP B-GPC3P, 18 F-IPB-GPC3P and 18 The uptake values of F-FAPT in tumors were 9.80±0.74%ID / g, 6.67±0.17%ID / g and 13.2±0.92%ID / g, respectively. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The tumor uptake value of F-IPB-GPC3P was significantly higher than 18 F-IPB-GPC3P (p<0.001), possibly due to 18 F-FAPT targets FAP in tumor tissue. 18 F-IPB-GPC3P produced an enhancement effect, which was consistent with the immunohistochemical results, such as Fig.16 As shown in Parts C and D. In addition, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The nonspecific uptake of F-IPB-GPC3P in normal tissues (liver and muscle) was significantly lower than 18 F-IPB-GPC3P (liver: 1.53±0.12 vs 3.07±0.12, p<0.001; muscle: 0.73±0.12 vs 0.93±0.09, p>0.05), as Fig.16 As shown in part B. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P exhibited high tumor uptake and low background signal, resulting in a higher ratio of tumor to normal tissues and organs (liver and muscle). 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The tumor to liver ratio (Tumor to liver ratio, T / L) and tumor to muscle ratio (Tumor to muscle ratio, T / M) of F-IPB-GPC3P were significantly higher than those of 18 F-IPB-GPC3P's T / L (6.43±0.85 vs 2.18±0.15, p<0.001) and T / M (13.86±3.24 vs 7.22±0.75, p<0.001). 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P] exhibits high-contrast images, which is beneficial for the detection of lesions.
[0217] In mice bearing Huh7 xenograft tumors, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P, 18F-IPB-GPC3P clearly showed Huh7 tumors, such as Fig.17 As shown in Part A. However, 18 F-FAPT showed low uptake in Hu h7 tumors, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical results, as Huh7 tumor tissues were negative for FAP expression. Fig.17 As shown in part C. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P, 18 F-IPB-GPC3P and 18 The uptake values of F-FAPT in tumors were 3.80±0.14%ID / g, 4.83±0.78%ID / g, and 2.2±0.14%ID / g, respectively. 18 F-FAPT failed to show tumor lesions. 18 Compared with F-IPB-GPC3P, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The tumor uptake value of F-IPB-GPC3P was less than 18 F-IPB-GPC3P, but there was no statistical difference (p>0.05), while in terms of nonspecific uptake in normal tissues (liver and muscle), 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P is significantly lower than 18 F-IPB-GPC3P (liver: 1.26±0.05 vs 2.60±0.29, p<0.001; muscle: 0.57±0.05 vs 0.70±0.08, p>0.05), as Fig.17 As shown in Part B. Therefore, although 18 F-FAPT+ 18 Tumor uptake of F-IPB-GPC3P was higher 18 F-IPB-GPC3P is low, but 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P has a lower normal organ uptake, which is conducive to a higher ratio of tumor to normal tissues and organs (liver and muscle), resulting in 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P is more effective in detecting liver tumors 18 F-IPB-GPC3P has more advantages. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 Tumor to liver ratio (T / L) and 18The T / L of F-IPB-GPC3P were 3.00±0.20 and 1.87±0.29, respectively (p<0.001).

In mice bearing Huh7 xenograft tumors, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P and 18 F-IPB-GPC3P showed higher uptake values in Huh7 tumors, but 18 The uptake value of F-IPB-GPC3P was higher (3.45±0.35 vs 5.02±0.63, p<0.01). Fig.18 As shown in part B.
[0220] 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The uptake values of F-IPB-GPC3P in most normal tissues and organs are relatively 18 The uptake value of F-IPB-GPC3P is low, such as heart, lung, liver, kidney, spleen, and blood pool, which is beneficial for detecting lesions in these organs, such as Fig.18 As shown in Part A and Part B. Therefore, 18 F-FAPT+ 18 Although the uptake value of F-IPB-GPC3P in Huh7 tumors was 18 F-IPB-GPC3P is low, but 18 F-FAPT+ 18 The T / L of F-IPB-GPC3P is significantly higher than18 The T / L of F-IPB-GPC3P (7.94±1.29 vs 5.50±0.5, p<0.01) was favorable for the detection of liver tumors. 18 F-FAPT has the lowest absorption rate in most organs. 18 F-FAPT+ 18 F-IPB-GPC3P has the advantages of high tumor uptake value and low physiological uptake value of normal tissues and organs, so it can clearly image tumors and demarcate lesions. The results of biodistribution studies are consistent with the results of small animal PET imaging studies.
