In my country, tumors have ranked second among various causes of death, and the tumor mortality rate is showing 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 technologies 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.

[0097] The three-stage double-bioorthogonal reaction amplification system is specifically a targeted compound double-molecule probe * M-TCO-FAPI * M-Tz-α v β6L respectively binds to the target FAP and integrin α v β6 in the tumor after binding, and * TCO in M-TCO-FAPI binds to free * M-Tz-α v Tz in β6L binds to, and * M-Tz-α v Tz in β6L binds to free * TCO in M-TCO-FAPI binds, that is, the TCO-Tz double-binding system. The following experiment verifies that the targeted single-molecule probe that binds to the tumor can bioorthogonally combine with another single-molecule probe in free state in vivo: in a FAP single-positive model (U87 brain glioma), *M-TCO-FAPI is pre-injected * M-TCO-FAPI, after a period of time * M-TCO-FAPI binds to the tumor, and then *M-Tz-α is injected * M-Tz-α v β6L, the next day, *M-TCO-FAPI is pre-injected * M-TCO-FAPI, after the same period of time, *Tz-α is injected v β6L * M-Tz-α v β6L, the tumor radioactivity uptake value decreases, proving that * TCO in M-TCO-FAPI binds to free * M-Tz-α v Tz in β6L binds; in α v β6L single-positive model (A549 brain glioma), *M-Tz-α is pre-injected v M-Tz-α v β6L binds to the tumor, and then *M-TCO-FAPI is injected * M-TCO-FAPI, the next day, *M-Tz-α is pre-injected * M-Tz-α v β6L, after a period of time, *TCO-FAPI is injected * M-TCO-FAPI, the tumor radioactivity uptake value decreases, proving that * M-Tz-α v Tz in β6L binds to free * TCO in M-TCO-FAPI binds.

[0098] In addition, the pre-positioning diagnosis and treatment amplification system needs to give a certain amount of unmarked NOTA-TCO-FAPI+NOTA-Tz-alpha v β6L and labeled * M-TCO-FAPI+ * M-Tz-alpha v β6L, the mechanism of action involves not only the above-mentioned three-stage diagnosis and treatment amplification effect, but also the pre-positioning diagnosis and treatment amplification effect. The following experiments verify that the pre-positioning imaging method can increase tumor uptake and reduce normal tissue uptake, proving that the pre-positioning diagnosis and treatment system has amplification potential: * M-Tz-alpha v β6L in FAP single-positive model (U87 brain glioma) for PET imaging, the tumor does not uptake or uptake is low, the next day, the precursor TCO-FAPI is injected in advance, after a period of time, TCO-FAPI binds to the tumor, and then * M-Tz-alpha v β6L is injected, and PET imaging is performed, and the tumor uptake is significantly increased; the next day, the precursor TCO-FAPI is injected in advance, and after the same period of time, Tz-alpha v β6L+ * M-Tz-alpha v β6L, the tumor radioactivity uptake value is reduced. * M-TCO-FAPI in alpha v β6L single-positive model (A549 brain glioma) for PET imaging, the tumor does not uptake or uptake is low, the next day, the precursor Tz-alpha is injected in advance v β6L, after a period of time, Tz-alpha v β6L binds to the tumor, and then * M-TCO-FAPI tumor radioactivity uptake value is increased; the next day, TCO-FAPI+ * M-TCO-FAPI, the tumor radioactivity uptake value is reduced.

[0140] Example 12 18 F-TCO-FAPI in vivo biodistribution uptake and inhibition experiment

[0141] The method for establishing a subcutaneous tumor model is as follows: A549, A549-FAP cells are cultured with DMEM medium plus 10% FBS and 1% double-antibiotic. The nude mice are raised in the SPF animal room, and when the nude mice are about 5 weeks old, 8 nude mice of 5 weeks old are subcutaneously inoculated with 5x10 6 A549-FAP cells in the right axillary fossa, and 4 nude mice of 5 weeks old are subcutaneously inoculated with 5x10 6 A549 cells in the right axillary fossa. About 2-3 weeks later, the nude mice grow tumors of about 0.5-1.0 cm in the right axillary fossa.

[0142] The first group is injected with 0.1-0.2 mL of a solution containing 40-60 μCi of F-TCO-FAPI via the tail vein of 4 A549-FAP tumor-bearing mice, the second group is injected with 0.1-0.2 mL of a mixed solution containing 40-60 μCi of F-TCO-FAPI and 100 ul (1 mg / ml) of the inhibitor NOTA-FAPI-42 via the tail vein of 4 A549-FAP tumor-bearing mice, and the third group is injected with 0.1-0.2 mL of a solution containing 40-60 μCi of F-TCO-FAPI via the tail vein of 4 A549 tumor-bearing mice. 18 18 18 The biodistribution experiment method is as follows: 60 min after injection, the eyeballs of the three groups of tumor-bearing mice are removed for blood removal, and the mice are sacrificed by cervical dislocation, the tissue samples of the organs (blood, brain, heart, lung, liver, gallbladder, kidney, spleen, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, muscle, spine, femur, joint, and tumor) are dissected, weighed, measured for radioactivity count, and recorded for the measurement time, and the percentage of radioactivity injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID / g) at 60 min is calculated.

[0143] The biodistribution experiment results show that 18 F-TCO-FAPI exhibits excellent pharmacokinetic performance (including targeting, kidney excretion, tumor uptake capacity, intratumoral retention time, etc.) in the preclinical research stage, which is specifically manifested as follows: 18 F-TCO-FAPI has specific targeting to the FAP target, 18 F-TCO-FAPI has the highest tumor uptake value of 17.94±8.54 %ID / g in the FAP-positive A549-FAP tumor-bearing mouse model, and the tumor uptake values in the FAP-positive tumor-bearing mouse inhibition group and the FAP-negative A549 tumor-bearing mouse model are very low, being 2.23±0.68 %ID / g and 1.52±0.4 %ID / g, respectively, which shows that the A549-FAP tumor-bearing mouse model has high specificity for​​18 High uptake and specific uptake of F-TCO-FAPI.

[0144] The biodistribution results in normal organs, tissues showed that: 18 F-TCO-FAPI was mainly excreted through the kidney, and had low uptake at 60 min, only 3.14±1.64%ID / g. It had the highest radioactive uptake in joints, higher radioactive uptake in spine and bone, moderate radioactive uptake in gallbladder, and low uptake in non-target sites such as liver, intestine, lung, pancreas, muscle and blood (results shown in 9a).

[0146] The method for establishing a subcutaneous tumor model is as follows: 9 five-week-old nude mice are inoculated with Capan-2 tumor cells in the right upper limb armpit according to the method of Example 12, and when the tumor grows to about 0.5-1.0 cm, the in vivo distribution experiment is performed.

[0147] The tumor-bearing nude mice are randomly divided into 3 groups, 3 in each group, and 0.1-0.2 mL of 40-60 μCi of F-TCO-FAPI, F-Tz-α or β6L is injected into the tail vein of each Capan-2 tumor-bearing mouse. 18 F-Tz-α v Biodistribution experiment method of β6L is the same as Example 12.

[0148] The results of in vivo biodistribution show that, 18 F-Tz-α v The in vivo biodistribution of β6L in Capan-2 tumor-bearing model is as shown in Figure 9b , 18 F-Tz-α v β6L has general in vivo activity, and has low uptake in tumors. It has the highest radioactive uptake in the kidney, and also has very high radioactive uptake in the lung and blood, and moderate radioactive uptake in the intestine and liver.

[0149] Example 14 Targeting complex double-molecule probe 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β6L (1:1) and 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-Tz-α v β6L in vivo biodistribution comparison experiment

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

[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 β6L (1:1) mixed solution, 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 via the tail vein. 18 F-Tz-α v The biodistribution experimental method of the β6L solution was the same as that of Example 12.

Among normal organs and tissues, the uptake value of the targeted compound bimolecular probe was the highest in the kidney, which was consistent with the results of the previous study. 18 F-Tz-α v The biodistribution characteristics of β6L in the body are similar, and the uptake values ​​of joints, spine, and bones also have high radioactive uptake, which is similar to 18 The biodistribution characteristics of F-TCO-FAPI in vivo are similar. 18 F-Tz-α v β6L has a high uptake in the lung and blood, but the uptake of the targeted compound bimolecular probe in the lung and blood is very low, which is not completely consistent with the previous conclusion (results such as Figure 9c shown).

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

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

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

[0156] The PET imaging results showed that: 18 F-TCO-FAPI had high uptake in A549-FAP lung adenocarcinoma model and U87 brain glioma model, and remained stable within 2h, 18 F-TCO-FAPI was rapidly excreted through the kidneys, and there was no obvious kidney imaging at 15 min, and there was also no obvious liver and intestinal imaging, showing good pharmacokinetic properties; inhibition imaging of A549-FAP and U87 model showed that the tumor uptake decreased significantly, which was specific uptake (as shown in Figure 10a and Figure 10b ), while there was almost no uptake in A549 wild-type lung adenocarcinoma model.

[0157] In the U87 model 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-FAPI-42 PET imaging comparative study: 3 U87 tumor-bearing mice were taken, weighed, and then 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-NOTA-FAPI-42 were injected into the same mouse respectively, and PET / CT imaging was performed at 2h, 4h and 6h after injection. In the same U87 tumor mouse model 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-NOTA-FAPI-42 comparative imaging results showed that: 18 F-TCO-FAPI had high tumor uptake value and long retention time, and in normal organs and tissues, 18F-TCO-FAPI showed higher uptake in spine and joints, and lower uptake in intestine, liver and kidney. 18 F-NOTA-FAPI-42 showed lower uptake in tumor, and obvious uptake in joints, spine and intestine. 18 F-TCO-FAPI showed better imaging performance than 18 F-NOTA-FAPI-42.

[0158] Example 16 18 F-Tz-α v β6L micro-PET imaging experiment

[0159] The method for establishing subcutaneous tumor model is as follows: 5-week-old nude mice are divided into two groups, each group of 3, and each group is inoculated with Capan-2 human pancreatic cancer cells and BxPC-3 human pancreatic cancer cells in situ according to the method of Example 12. When the tumor grows to about 0.5-1.0 cm, in vivo micro-PET imaging experiment is performed.

[0160] Tumor-bearing mouse in vivo static PET imaging: each mouse is weighed and injected with 260 μCi of imaging agent into the tail vein 18 F-Tz-α v β6L, PET / CT imaging is performed at 30 min, 60 min, and 2 h after injection.

[0161] The imaging results show that: 18 F-Tz-α v β6L The peak uptake in tumor is obtained at 30 min, but overall, the tumor uptake is low and the retention time is not long, mainly excreted through the kidneys, with high uptake in the kidneys, heart and lungs, and the column chart results are shown in Figure 11a and Figure 11b .

[0162] Example 17 Targeting Compound Bimolecular Probe 18 F-TCO-FAPI+ 18 F-Tz-α v β6L (1:1) and 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-Tz-α v β6L micro-PET imaging comparison experiment

[0163] The method for establishing subcutaneous tumor model is as follows: 3 five-week-old nude mice are taken, and each mouse is inoculated with Capan-2 human pancreatic cancer cells in the right upper limb axilla according to the method of Example 12. When the tumor grows to about 0.5-1.0 cm, in vivo micro-PET imaging experiment is performed.

[0164] In vivo static PET imaging of tumor-bearing mice: In the first experiment, each mouse was weighed and injected with about 240 μCi of imaging agent via the tail vein 18 F-TCO-FAPI 18 F-Tz-α v β6L (1:1) showed higher tumor uptake and showed no difference in long time point imaging than 18 F-TCO-FAPI, PET / CT imaging was performed at 30 min, 60 min, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h after injection. In the third experiment, the same mouse was weighed and injected with about 240 μCi of imaging agent via the tail vein, and PET / CT imaging was performed at 30 min, 60 min, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h after injection.

[0165] The PET results are shown in Figure 11c The imaging results show that the targeting compound 18 F-TCO-FAPI 18 F-Tz-α v β6L (1:1) showed higher tumor uptake and showed no difference in long time point imaging than 18 F-TCO-FAPI monomer imaging, 18 F-TCO-FAPI 18 F-Tz-α v β6L excreted more slowly in the tumor than 18 F-TCO-FAPI, which may be due to 18 F-TCO-FAPI 18 F-Tz-α v β6L bound more in long time point imaging. 18 F-TCO-FAPI 18 F-Tz-α v The tumor uptake of β6L was greater than 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-Tz-α v β6L tumor half-uptake value, which confirmed from the imaging level that this experiment had a biological orthogonal effect, increased tumor uptake, and prolonged retention time. However 18 F-TCO-FAPI 18 F-Tz-α v β6L also showed higher uptake in the heart, lungs, kidneys, spine, and joints, showing the imaging characteristics of the binding of the two monomer imaging agents 18 F-TCO-FAPI and 18 F-Tz-α v β6L. However, it is worth noting that in the imaging18 F-TCO-FAPI 18 F-Tz-alpha v Beta6L shows high uptake in heart and lung, which is inconsistent with the performance characteristics of in vivo biodistribution.
