Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a compound comprising a linker, a chelating agent, a ligand binding entity, a preparation method and use thereof, and in particular to a compound binding to prostate specific membrane antigen, which can be used for preparing therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, and belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry. Background Art
[0002] Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors affecting men's health, with approximately 1.3 million men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer each year worldwide. In February 2021, the 2020 edition of the Global Cancer Statistics Report published by the WHO International Agency for Research and Development on Cancer showed that there were 1,414,259 new cases of prostate cancer worldwide in 2020, accounting for 7.3% of all malignant tumors in the body, and the incidence rate ranked third after breast cancer and lung cancer. There were 375,304 deaths from prostate cancer, and the mortality rate ranked eighth (Sung H, Ferlay J, Siegel RL, et al. CA Cancer J Clin. 2021; 10.3322 / caac.21660.). Epidemiological data show that the occurrence of prostate cancer has racial and familial genetic tendencies, especially in the United States, the Caribbean, and people of African descent with the highest incidence rate (Rebbeck TR, Devesa SS, Chang BL, et al. Prostate Cancer. 2013; 2013: 560857). In addition, advanced age, obesity, and fat intake are also correlated with the occurrence of prostate cancer.
[0003] The etiology and pathogenesis of prostate cancer are very complex. Early prostate cancer often has no typical clinical manifestations. Patients in the middle and late stages often experience clinical symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, urinary retention, interrupted urinary flow, and labored urination due to local tumor invasion or obstruction. Therefore, early diagnosis is crucial for the treatment of prostate cancer. Current diagnosis of prostate cancer includes computed tomography (CT), digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), prostate biopsy, etc. However, these tests are complex to operate and cannot effectively monitor and manage the disease, and overdiagnosis often occurs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective tools for early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
[0004] The main treatments for prostate cancer currently include active monitoring, radical surgery, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, almost all patients with advanced prostate cancer will eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) after endocrine therapy, and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is the main cause of death in patients. Although docetaxel and cabazitaxel have successfully improved the survival rate of CRPC patients as first-line chemotherapy drugs, and androgen receptor blockers (AR) such as abiraterone and enzalutamide have been approved and widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of CRPC, the 5-year survival rate of CRPC patients is still very low, and new treatment methods are urgently needed (Barata PC, Sartor AO. Cancer. 2019 Jun 1; 125(11): 1777-1788.).
[0005] Recent studies have found that prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GDPII) or folate hydrolase I (FOLH1), is located on stain 11 and is a transmembrane 750-amino acid type II glycoprotein (Wang F, Li Z, Feng X, Yang D, Lin M. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis. 2022 Mar; 25 (1): 11-26.). PSMA is expressed at low levels in certain non-prostate tissues (such as kidneys, small intestines, and salivary glands), and is abnormally highly expressed in prostate cancer cells. More than 80% of prostate cancer patients highly express PSMA, and its high expression is associated with poor prognosis. The extracellular domain of PSMA is large, making it easy to design targeting molecules. These characteristics make PSMA an ideal target for immune-related therapies (eitner TM, Babich JW, Kelly JM. Transl Oncol. 2022 Aug; 22: 101450.). Currently, anti-tumor therapy using PSMA mainly focuses on PSMA-targeted radioligands, antibody-drug conjugates, antibodies, or α / β radioisotopes, such as 111 In-PSMA is approved by the FDA as an anti-PSMA antibody targeting a cell epitope, calomab pendetide, on the linking of beta-emitting particles 177 Lu-PSMA-617 has been widely used in clinical practice (Garje R, Rumble RB, Parikh RA. J Clin Oncol. 2022 Nov 1; 40(31): 3664-3666.), and has been approved by the FDA for recurrent / metastatic / castration-resistant prostate cancer in recent years. However, due to the macromolecular structure of the antibody and the limited intracellular domain of PSMA, 177Lu-PSMA-617 has a short metabolic half-life in the blood, a short retention time in the tumor, limited uptake by target organs, and frequent administration increases the possibility of adverse reactions. Although existing technologies attempt to increase the half-life of drugs by increasing albumin binding in order to increase the radioactive exposure of tumors, simply extending the half-life of drugs will also greatly increase the radioactive exposure of normal tissues, and there is a risk of serious toxic and side effects; at the same time, drugs that are tightly bound to albumin will also cause the drug to be unable to be effectively enriched in the target tumor targeting area, making it difficult to achieve the expected tumor inhibitory effect. It will continue to circulate in the human body with the blood, and will further increase the risk of radioactive exposure of normal tissues. Therefore, there is still a need for a drug with a longer half-life, better effects, and lower risk of toxic and side effects. Summary of the invention

[0038] After extensive research, the inventors found that in the embodiment of the present invention, the linking group The number of has an important influence on the plasma protein binding, tumor uptake enrichment, and tissue biodistribution spectrum (e.g., tumor and kidney, tumor and liver, tumor and blood) of the compounds of the present invention. The inventors have found that the linking group When the number is too large (for example, when the number is greater than or equal to 6), the affinity of the compound targeting PSMA may be weakened, thereby failing to effectively target and bind to the PSMA ligand. It is also easy to over-enhance the albumin binding ability of the long-chain fatty diacid in the embodiment of the present invention, resulting in the compound being too tightly bound to albumin, increasing the risk of radioactive exposure to the blood circulation system and normal tissues; and when the linking group When the amount is too small (for example, when the amount is 0), the compound will lose its shielding protection for the PSMA-targeted binding part, which may cause the compound to quickly strip albumin and quickly bind to the PSMA ligand, which may not only destroy the original intention of extending the half-life, but also reduce tumor uptake and increase normal tissue uptake. In the embodiment of the present invention, the linking group When the number is 1 to 5, the compound of the present invention can obtain balanced PSMA and albumin affinity, achieve the excellent half-life performance, PSMA binding performance, higher tumor / normal tissue distribution ratio and lower toxic side effects required by the inventor; especially in certain embodiments of the present invention, the linking group When the amount is 2, the compound of the present invention can have more excellent aforementioned efficacy.

The radionuclide may be a non-metallic radionuclide (also known as radioactive non-metallic nuclide, e.g. 18 F. 14 C. 13 N. 15 O. 125 I. 211 At, etc.), or a radioactive nuclide of a metal (also called a radioactive metal nuclide, a radioactive metal, such as 99m Tc, 67 Ga, 68 Ga, 225 Ac, 111 In, 177 Lu, etc.). Radioactive non-metallic nuclides can be covalently linked to organic molecules, and radioactive metal nuclides are usually linked to chelate groups in the form of metal ions through coordination bonds to obtain chelates.

[0219] Biological tests
[0220] Test Example 1 Solubility Test
[0221] 1.1 Solution preparation
[0222] The compounds of Examples 1 to 4 were dissolved in DMSO to a final concentration of 10 mM to prepare stock solutions.
[0223] 1.2 Solubility test
[0224] (1) Take 15 μL of the stock solution (10 mM) and add it to the corresponding 96-well plate as the sample plate, and then add 485 μL of pH 7.4 or pH 2.0 phosphate buffer to the corresponding vial of the sample plate. Then put the sample plate into a constant temperature mixer and shake it at 1100 rpm and 25°C for 2 hours. After 2 hours, filter the solution in the sample plate. Transfer 5 μL of the filtrate and 5 μL of blank DMSO to a new 96-well plate, and then add 490 μL of internal standard water (internal standard water is a mixed solvent of water: methanol = 1:1). Depending on the peak shape, a certain proportion of internal standard water may be used to dilute the sample diluent to obtain a better peak shape. The dilution factor may be adjusted depending on the solubility of the analyte or the strength of its LC-MS response signal.
[0225] (2) Transfer 6 μL of the stock solution of Examples 1 to 4 to a blank 96-well plate, and then add 194 μL of DMSO to prepare a 300 μM standard solution. Transfer 5 μL of the standard solution to another blank 96-well plate, and then add 5 μL of phosphate buffer (i.e., PBS, pH 7.4 or pH 2.0) and 490 μL of internal standard water to a final concentration of 3 μM. Depending on the peak shape, a certain proportion of internal standard water may be used to dilute the standard solution to obtain a better peak shape. The concentration of the standard solution may be adjusted depending on the strength of its LC-MS response signal.
[0226] (3) Identify and quantify the peak of the standard solution of known concentration by LC-MS. Calculate the solubility as follows: Sample solubility = [sample peak area × dilution factor × concentration of standard solution] / peak area of standard solution.
[0227] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0233] 2.1 Test methods
[0234] (1) Preparation of working stock solutions of compounds in various examples
[0235] The compounds of Examples 1 to 4 were weighed respectively, dissolved in DMSO, and diluted to prepare 200 μM working stock solutions of each Example.
[0236] (2) Preparation of incubation system
[0237] 3 μL of the working stock solution of each example was fully mixed with human, monkey and mouse plasma (597 μL each) to obtain an incubation system, so that the final organic solvent content of the incubation system was 0.5%, and then 50 μL of the incubation system was transferred to a blank 96-well plate as a sample at the T0 time point.
[0238] (3) Dialysis treatment
[0239] Using the equilibrium dialysis method, 120 μL of the incubation system was added to each well on one side of the dialysis plate as a plasma sample, and an equal volume of PBS (phosphate buffer) with a pH of 7.4 was placed on the other side as a buffer sample. All samples were prepared in parallel, the dialysis plate was sealed, and placed in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2, and incubated at 100 rpm for 6 hours. After the equilibrium incubation, 50 μL of plasma samples and buffer samples were taken for processing.
[0240] (4) Sample preparation at time point T6 (protein binding stability sample)
[0241] The remaining incubation system in step (2) was placed in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 and incubated at 100 rpm for 6 hours. After the incubation, 50 μL of the incubation system of the second incubation was transferred, an equal volume of PBS (phosphate buffer) at pH 7.4 was added, mixed evenly, and 400 μL of stop solution (the stop solution was a mixture of phosphate buffer and methanol in a ratio of 1:1) was added as the sample at time point T6 for detecting the albumin binding stability of the compound of the present invention.
[0242] (5) Treatment of plasma samples and buffer samples
[0243] An equal volume of blank plasma of the corresponding species was added to the buffer sample taken out in step (3), and an equal volume of PBS (phosphate buffer) at pH 7.4 was added to the plasma sample taken out in step 3), and the mixture was mixed evenly, and then 400 μL of stop solution (the stop solution was a mixture of phosphate buffer and methanol in a ratio of 1:1) was added to each sample.
[0244] (6) Sample analysis
[0245] The plasma sample and buffer sample obtained in step (5) were vortexed together with the sample at time point T0 and the sample at time point T6 for 10 minutes, and then centrifuged at 3220g for 30 minutes for protein precipitation. 120 μL of the supernatant of each sample was transferred and added to an equal volume of purified water for mixing, and then used for LC-MS analysis, with tolbutamide as the internal standard.
[0246] All data calculations were performed using Microsoft Excel software. The concentration of the drug in the buffer sample and plasma sample was determined. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0247] Free rate (%) = [peak area ratio of buffer sample / peak area ratio of plasma sample] × 100%;
[0248] Binding rate (%) = 100% - free percentage;
[0249] 6-hour residual binding rate (%) = [sample peak area ratio at T6 time point / sample peak area ratio at T0 time point] × 100%;
[0250] The aforementioned peak area ratio is the ratio of the sample peak area to the internal standard peak area.
[0251] 2.3 Test results
[0252] Examples 1 to 4 were highly bound to human, monkey and mouse plasma proteins. After 6 hours, the plasma protein binding of Example 1 was comparable to that of PSMA-617, but Examples 2 to 4 still had high plasma protein binding rates, as shown in Table 2.
[0253] Table 2 Plasma protein binding rates of Examples 1 to 4 in humans, monkeys and mice
[0254]
[0255]
[0256] The albumin binding rate of the compounds of the present invention is increased relative to PSMA-617, among which the increase rate of mouse albumin is the highest; when the number of terminal fatty diacid alkyl groups of the compounds of the present invention is 13-16, such as 13 and 16 in Examples 2 and 3, the albumin binding rate increases while the 6-hour residual binding rate is basically unchanged, that is, the albumin binding stability is better.
