Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of nuclear medicine, and relates to the field of radioactive chemistry and clinical nuclear medicine technology of radionuclide labeling, and specifically, to a polypeptide nuclide ligand and a probe targeting FGFR2 and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cancer is a global public health challenge that seriously endangers human health. However, the current medical level is difficult to overcome advanced malignant tumors, and early detection and treatment are still the most effective means of treating malignant tumors. Therefore, early diagnosis of tumors and effective treatment of tumors are particularly important and urgent. For tumors, conventional imaging diagnostic technologies mainly include B-ultrasound, CT and MRI. These imaging diagnostic technologies achieve diagnostic results by showing functional changes in tissues and have good application value, but there are still certain deficiencies in differential diagnosis, systemic staging and early efficacy evaluation.

[0003] Theranostics has always been the main development direction in the field of nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy diagnosis is also the most mature and widespread clinical application in the field of theranostics. A significant advantage of radiotherapy diagnosis is that the treatment site is the diagnostic image of the patient's lesion, and imaging and therapeutic intervention are closely related.

[0004] Positron emission computed tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are two very important imaging technologies in the field of nuclear medicine. They are usually achieved by using probe molecules labeled with radionuclides (radioactive metal complexes are one type of probe molecules). After entering the body, the radioactive probe will accumulate specifically in the lesion area. By detecting the rays emitted by the decay of the nuclide, a three-dimensional image of the distribution of the probe molecule in the body can be obtained. Compared with traditional diagnostic methods, nuclear medicine imaging can reflect the location of lesions in the body non-invasively and accurately, and is safer and more reliable. If the above probes are labeled with β-particle therapeutic nuclides or α-particle therapeutic nuclides, corresponding radioactive therapeutic drugs can be obtained. Such drugs are enriched in targeted tissues and organs, and use the radiation particles released by the decay of the nuclides to cause irreversible damage to the DNA of the targeted cells, induce chromosome deletion and aberration, and induce apoptosis of diseased cells to achieve the purpose of treatment. Compared with traditional radiotherapy, radioactive therapeutic drugs cause less damage to healthy tissues.

[0005] Therefore, the development of specific imaging tracers with high affinity and specificity, low nonspecific uptake, sufficient retention and effective permeability has become a key research direction in the field of nuclear medicine.

[0006] FGFRs belong to the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family in the human genome. They are a member of the tyrosine kinase family, including four receptor subtypes: FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, and FGFR4. Their ligands include 23 subtypes, including FGF1, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 19. FGFRs are a class of single-chain glycoproteins, consisting of an extracellular region, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular region. The extracellular region of FGFRs includes three immunoglobulin-like domains (D1-D3), which are connected by a serine-rich region between the D1 and D2 structures, and the intracellular region is a tyrosine kinase domain.

[0007] In FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3, all forms contain the first half of D3 (denoted as IIIa), but two alternative exons can be used for the second half of D3, resulting in IIIb and IIIc forms. For FGFR2, these forms are denoted as FGFR2-IIIb and FGFR2-IIIc (or just FGFR2b and FGFR2c), respectively; the corresponding β forms are denoted as FGFR2 (β) IIIb and FGFR2 (β) IIIc. The FGFR2-IIIb form of FGFR2 (also denoted as K-sam-II) is a high affinity receptor for FGF1 and KGF family members (FGF7, FGF10 and FGF22), while FGFR2-IIIc (also denoted as K-sam-I) fully binds to FGF1 and FGF2, but not to KGF family members (Miki et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 246, 1992).

[0008] FGFR2 is a therapeutic target across tumor types. FGFR2 protein is overexpressed in about 3% of breast cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer, and about 10% of gastric / esophageal cancers. FGFR2 overexpression has also been found in other cancers, including colon cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, glioma, and head and neck cancer.

[0009] CN117126237A discloses a CHO2 derivative containing an amino acid chain and a hydrazino-nicotinamide group and its application. The radioactive preparation obtained by labeling the CHO2 derivative with a radionuclide has a higher tumor uptake and a higher tumor-to-muscle uptake ratio in tumors with overexpression of FGFR2, and is a new tumor radiopharmaceutical with promotion significance.

[0010] There is still a significant unmet medical need for effective diagnostic, tracing and / or therapeutic agents / drugs in cancers expressing FGFR2, especially anti-cancer drugs specifically targeting the FGFR2-IIIc protein. Summary of the invention

[0098] Biacore T200 was used to test the affinity of peptides with FGFR2IIIb and FGFR2IIIc. ProteinA chip was used to capture FGFR2IIIb and FGFR2IIIc proteins at about 1800RU and 1300RU at 25°C. 1×HBS-EP+, pH 7.4 was used as running buffer. Binding experiments were performed at 25°C. The peptide analysis flow rate was 30μL / min, Association 120 s, Dissociation 600s. Single-cycle multi-concentration detection of peptide samples and FGFR2IIIb and FGFR2IIIc proteins was selected. Gly-HCl pH = 1.5, 30 μL / min, 30 s was used for chip regeneration, and the data were fitted with a 1:1 binding model.

[0099] 2. Experimental results SPR single cycle kinetic analysis showed that the polypeptide nuclide ligand of the present invention had good binding affinity to FGFR2IIIc. The binding affinity of compound 1 and compound 2 to FGFR2IIIc is shown in Table 3.

[0101] Test Example 2: PET-CT imaging of tumor animal model Experimental steps: Follow the Micro-PET / CT operating procedures. The probe obtained after drug labeling in the above-mentioned example steps was diluted to 1 mCi / mL with normal saline, and a certain amount was extracted for injection. For the randomly grouped mice, the tumor-bearing mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, and the probe was injected into the tail vein after the righting reflex of the tumor-bearing mice disappeared. PET scans and whole-body CT scans were performed 30 minutes after injection. The uptake in the tumor area was quantified, and the uptake in the contralateral muscle, heart and its contents, and liver was quantified.

[0102] The experimental results are shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The Micro PET maximum intensity projection images of H716 tumor-bearing mice, KATO III tumor-bearing mice, and SNU-16 tumor-bearing mice 30 minutes after intravenous injection of compound I and compound II, respectively. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that at the time point of image acquisition, the tumor is clearly visible with good tissue contrast. In addition, the tumor uptake of compound II is higher than that of compound I. Both compound II and compound I have obvious tumor targeting and can be used as potential molecules for diagnosis and treatment of tumors with high expression of FGFR2IIIC. Compound II may have a better effect.

[0103] Test Example 3 Cellular uptake and inhibition experiments

[0104] Experimental steps: H716 cells, KATO III cells, and SNU-16 cells were plated in 6-well plates and cultured in an incubator. After overnight culture, the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed once or twice. 68 Ga-labeled probe was used as the experimental group, and the above cells were added with a certain amount of 68The Ga-labeled probe was incubated at 37°C for 15min, 30min, 60min, and 120min, and an unlabeled ligand compound was used to block cell uptake at 60min. After the incubation, the incubation solution was aspirated and washed three times with 4°C pre-cooled phosphate buffer to terminate cell uptake. All cells were lysed with lysis buffer, and the lysate was collected for radioactivity counting. After attenuation correction and reference standard conversion of the radioactivity count, the probe cell uptake rate was calculated, and the cell uptake of the probe and the change in uptake rate over time were analyzed to determine the probe binding specificity and probe distribution ability. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 7-9 shown.

[0105] According to the results of the cell uptake experiment, compound II has a high uptake in H716 cells, KATO III cells, and SNU-16 cells in vitro, and the uptake increases with the incubation time. The significant difference in cell uptake between the unlabeled ligand compound and the unlabeled ligand compound shows that compound II specifically binds to FGFR2, indicating that the new FGFR2 targeting probe maintains the same specificity as the ligand compound while taking into account more types of radionuclide labeling.

[0106] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and therefore cannot limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the patent scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
