Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear medicine, and specifically relates to a targeted compound bimolecular probe and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The occurrence and development of tumors such as hepatobiliary system tumors, gastric cancer, and lung cancer increasingly threaten human life and have become a serious social problem. In my country, tumors have ranked second among various causes of death, and the tumor mortality rate has shown a clear upward trend. The key to reducing tumor mortality is to study early diagnosis, specific targeted therapy, and the best individualized precision diagnosis and treatment technology to guide treatment. Integrated nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment includes positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and radionuclide therapy. Integrated nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment plays a unique role in tumor diagnosis and treatment, and can accurately solve the problem of tumor visualization diagnosis and treatment. Radioactive targeted molecular probes, as important markers in integrated nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment, have become the key to improving the effectiveness of nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] The radioactive targeted molecular probes currently used are mostly single-target ones. The diagnostic effect of single-target radioactive monomer molecular probes on tumors is not ideal. Their imaging is prone to false negative results and low sensitivity. In addition, positive lesions still have the disadvantages of low molecular probe uptake values ​​and insufficient retention time of molecular probes in lesions.

[0004] Bioorthogonal chemical reactions are widely used in in vivo reactions due to their high specificity, high reaction rate and good biocompatibility. The prior art discloses a method for preparing a TGFβ antibody probe by bioorthogonal reaction-click chemistry technology, wherein TCO-PEG4-NHS is modified on the TGFβ antibody to obtain TGFβ antibody-TCO; NOTA is modified on the tetrazine small molecule Tz to obtain NOTA-Tz; 18 F、AlCl 3 Reaction with NOTA-Tz to obtain [ 18 F-AlF 3 ]-NOTA-Tz; TGFβ antibody-TCO and [ 18 F-AlF 3 ]-NOTA-Tz ligands were co-incubated to generate [ 18 F-AlF 3 ]-NOTA-Tz-TCO-TG Fβ antibody probe. The antibody probe prepared by this method can be used to detect the expression level of TGFβ in tumors and other tissues, but the antibody probe is still a monomer probe with a single target, and its imaging cannot obtain more accurate and comprehensive tumor biological information, and the diagnosis and treatment effects of tumors are still not ideal.

[0140] Example 12 18 In vivo biodistribution, uptake and inhibition experiments of F-TCO-FAPI

[0141] The method for establishing the subcutaneous tumor model is as follows: A549 and A549-FAP cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% double antibody. Nude mice were raised in an SPF animal room. When the nude mice were about 5 weeks old, 8 5-week-old nude mice were subcutaneously inoculated with 5×10 6 / A549-FAP cells, 5×10 6 / A549 cells. After 2-3 weeks, a tumor of about 0.5-1.0 cm grew in the right armpit of the nude mouse.

[0142] In the first group, four A549-FAP tumor-bearing mice were injected via the tail vein with 0.1-0.2 mL of 40-60 μCi 18 In the second group, 4 A549-FAP tumor-bearing mice were injected with 0.1-0.2 mL of F-TCO-FAPI solution containing 40-60 μCi 18 A mixed solution of F-TCO-FAPI and 100ul (1mg / ml) inhibitor NOTA-FAPI-42 was injected into the tail vein of four A549 tumor-bearing mice with 0.1-0.2mL containing 40-60μCi 18 The biodistribution test method is to remove the eyeballs of the three groups of tumor-bearing mice and take blood 60 minutes after injection, then kill the mice by cervical vertebrae dissection, dissect and take tissue samples of various organs (blood, brain, heart, lung, liver, gallbladder, kidney, spleen, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, muscle, spine, femur, joints and tumor), weigh them, measure their radioactivity counts and record the measurement time, and calculate the percentage of the radioactivity injected dose per gram of tissue in 60 minutes (%ID / g).

[0143] Biodistribution experiment results: The results showed 18 F-TCO-FAPI showed excellent pharmacokinetic properties (including targeting, renal excretion, tumor uptake ability, tumor retention time, etc.) in preclinical research, as shown below: 18 F-TCO-FAPI has specific targeting to FAP target.18 In the FAP-positive A549-FAP tumor-bearing mouse model, the tumor uptake value of F-TCO-FAPI reached the highest value of 17.94±8.54%ID / g. In the FAP-positive tumor-bearing mouse inhibition group and the FAP-negative A549 tumor-bearing mouse model, the tumor uptake values ​​were very low, 2.23±0.68%ID / g and 1.52±0.4%ID / g, respectively. This shows that the A549-FAP tumor-bearing mouse model is 18 High and specific uptake of F-TCO-FAPI.

[0144] The biodistribution results in normal organs and tissues showed: 18 F-TCO-FAPI is mainly excreted rapidly through the kidneys, with a low uptake of only 3.14±1.64%ID / g at 60 min. The highest radioactive uptake is in the joints, the spine and bones have higher radioactive uptake, the gallbladder has moderate radioactive uptake, and the uptake in non-target sites such as the liver, intestines, lungs, pancreas, muscles and blood is at a lower level (results shown in 9a).

[0145] Example 13 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 In vivo biodistribution uptake experiment

[0146] The method for establishing a subcutaneous tumor model is as follows: 9 5-week-old nude mice were inoculated with Capan-2 tumor cells in the axilla of the right upper limb according to the method of Example 12. When the tumor grew to about 0.5-1.0 cm, an in vivo distribution experiment was performed.

[0147] The tumor-bearing nude mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, with 3 mice in each group. Each Capan-2 tumor-bearing mouse was injected with 0.1-0.2 mL of 40-60 μCi 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L. The biodistribution experimental method is the same as in Example 12.

[0148] The in vivo biodistribution results showed that 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 The biodistribution of L in the Capan-2 tumor model Figure 9b As shown, 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L has general biological activity in vivo, and the uptake in tumors is low. The highest radioactive uptake is in the kidney, and the lung and blood also have high radioactive uptake, and the intestine and liver have moderate radioactive uptake.

[0150] A subcutaneous Capan-2 tumor model was established according to the method of Example 12, and an in vivo distribution experiment was performed when the tumor grew to about 0.5-1.0 cm.

[0151] The Capan-2 tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into group 1, group 2 and group 3, with 6 mice in each group. In the first group, each Capan-2 tumor-bearing mouse was injected with 0.1-0.2 mL containing 40-60 μCi of the targeted compound bimolecular probe via the tail vein. 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L (1:1) mixed solution, and in the second group, each Capan-2 tumor-bearing mouse was injected via the tail vein with 0.1-0.2 mL containing 40-60 μCi 18 In the third group, each Capan-2 tumor-bearing mouse was injected with 0.1-0.2 mL of F-TCO-FAPI solution containing 40-60 μCi 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 The biodistribution experimental method of the solution of L is the same as that of Example 12.

[0152] In vivo biodistribution results showed that the targeted compound bimolecular probe 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 Biodistribution of L(1:1) combined with two monomeric imaging agents in Capan-2 tumor-bearing mice 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 Advantages and disadvantages of in vivo biodistribution of L: The targeted compound bimolecular probe has a high uptake in tumors and is very close to 18 F-TCO-FAPI tumor uptake value is much higher than 18 F-Tz-α v β 6L tumor uptake value, and greater than the sum of half of the tumor uptake values ​​of the two monomeric imaging agents (1.43±0.07%ID / g, 1.76±0.05%ID / g, 0.48±0.04%ID / g, respectively), confirming the bioorthogonal effect of this experiment from the perspective of biodistribution. In normal organs and tissues, the uptake value of the targeted compound bimolecular probe is highest in the kidney, which is consistent with 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L has similar biodistribution characteristics in the body, and the joints, spine, and bones also have high radioactivity uptake values. 18 The biodistribution characteristics of F-TCO-FAPI in vivo are similar. It is worth noting that 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L has a high uptake in the lung and blood, but the uptake values ​​of the targeted composite bimolecular probe in the lung and blood are very low, which is not completely consistent with the previous conclusion (results such as Fig.9c shown).

[0153] Embodiment 15 18 F-TCO-FAPI micro-PET imaging experiment

[0154] The method for establishing a subcutaneous tumor model is as follows: 5-week-old nude mice are divided into 3 groups, each with 9 mice, and each group is inoculated with A549-FAP lung adenocarcinoma cells, U87 brain glioma cells and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells according to the method of Example 12.

[0155] Static uptake and inhibition of PET imaging in tumor-bearing mice: 3 mice were weighed in the first, second, and third groups, and then 260 μCi of imaging agent was injected into the tail vein. 18 F-TCO-FAPI, and 3 mice in the first and second groups were weighed and injected with 260 μCi of imaging agent into the tail vein 18 A mixture of F-TCO-FAPI and 100ul (1mg / ml) NOTA-FAPI-42 inhibitor (diluted with 200ul saline) was injected and PET / CT imaging was performed 60min after injection.

[0156] PET imaging results showed that: 18 F-TCO-FAPI has a high uptake in A549-FAP lung adenocarcinoma model and U87 brain glioma model and remains stable within 2 hours. 18 F-TCO-FAPI is rapidly excreted through the kidneys. After 15 minutes, the kidneys, liver, and intestines are not clearly visualized, showing good pharmacokinetic properties. In the A549-FAP and U87 models, inhibition imaging showed a significant decrease in tumor uptake, which is specific uptake (such as Fig.10a and Fig.10b ), whereas there was almost no uptake in the A549 wild-type lung adenocarcinoma model.

[0157] In the U87 model 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-FAPI-42 PET imaging comparison study: Three U87 tumor-bearing mice were weighed and injected into the same mouse 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-NOTA-FAPI-42, PET / CT imaging was performed at 2h, 4h, and 6h after injection. 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 The contrast imaging results of F-NOTA-FAPI-42 show: 18 F-TCO-FAPI has a high tumor uptake value and a long retention time in normal organs and tissues. 18 F-TCO-FAPI had higher uptake in the spine and joints, and lower uptake in the intestine, liver, and kidneys; 18 The tumor uptake value of F-NOTA-FAPI-42 is low, and more obvious uptake can be seen in the joints, spine, and intestines. 18 F-TCO-FAPI performs better than 18 Imaging performance of F-NOTA-FAPI-42.

[0163] The method for establishing a subcutaneous tumor model is as follows: three 5-week-old nude mice were taken, and Capan-2 human pancreatic cancer cells were inoculated in the right upper armpit of each mouse according to the method of Example 12. When the tumor grew to about 0.5-1.0 cm, an in vivo micro-PET imaging experiment was performed.

[0164] Static PET imaging in tumor-bearing mice: In the first experiment, each mouse was weighed and injected with approximately 240 μCi of imaging agent into the tail vein 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L (1:1), PET / CT imaging was performed at 30min, 60min, 2h, 4h, and 6h after injection. In the second experiment, the same mouse was weighed and injected with about 240μCi of imaging agent into the tail vein 18 F-TCO-FAPI, PET / CT imaging was performed at 30min, 60min, 2h, 4h, and 6h after injection. In the third experiment, the same mouse was weighed and injected with about 240μCi of imaging agent into the tail vein, and PET / CT imaging was performed at 30min, 60min, 2h, 4h, and 6h after injection.

[0165] PET results are as follows Fig.11c As shown, the imaging results show that: targeted compound bimolecular probe 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L(1:1) bioorthogonal imaging showed high tumor uptake and was comparable to that of the tumour at long-term imaging. 18 Tumor uptake by F-TCO-FAPI monomer imaging, 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18F-Tz-α v β 6 The excretion rate of L in tumors is 18 F-TCO-FAPI is slower, probably due to 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L was bound more in the long time point imaging. 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 The tumor uptake value of L is greater than 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 The sum of the uptake values ​​of half of the L tumor confirmed the bioorthogonal effect of this experiment from the imaging level, increasing tumor uptake and prolonging retention time. 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L also showed higher uptake in the heart, lungs, kidneys, spine and joints, indicating that the two monomeric imaging agents 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 However, it is worth noting that 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β 6 L showed high uptake in the heart and lungs, which was inconsistent with its biodistribution profile in vivo.
