Abstract
Description
[0001] Related Applications
[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority of co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 417,915, filed on October 20, 2022, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field
[0003] This application generally relates to the field of radioligands that target cell surface receptors such as somatostatin receptors, cholecystokinin receptors, or both. In particular, it relates to compounds and complexes of such compounds containing radionuclides. This application also relates to methods of using such compounds and complexes to target and / or kill target cells. Background Art
[0004] Somatostatin and its receptor family, which consists of five G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), play important roles in regulating the secretion of several essential hormones. Abnormalities in this signaling pathway have been found to be associated with various diseases, including cancer. It has been well studied that the overexpression of somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2) is an important characteristic of neuroendocrine tumors. Consequently, SSTR2 has been widely explored as a therapeutic agent for delivering radionuclides complexed with SSTR2-binding peptides to tumor tissues, which enables PET or SPECT / CT-based diagnosis and α or β internal radiotherapy. These efforts have led to FDA-approved ( 68 Ga-DOTATATE) and ( 177 Lu-DOTATATE), which are a diagnostic and therapeutic pair clinically used for detecting and treating gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET). It has also been found that SSTR2 is overexpressed in other tumors, such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC); consequently, 177 Lu-DOTATATE and other SSTR2-targeting radioligands have been studied in various approaches for treating SCLC, but the desired results have not been achieved [1]. Similarly, 177 Lu-DOTATATE has also been clinically explored for treating medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) [2].
[0005] Cholecystokinin 2 receptor (CCK2R, also known as cholecystokinin B receptor or CCKBR) has also been found to be overexpressed in various tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), astrocytoma, stromal ovarian tumors, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) [3]. CCK2R is one of two GPCR receptors in the cholecystokinin receptor (CCKR) family, and the endogenous ligand of this receptor is cholecystokinin (CCK) and its N-terminal truncated forms. To interfere with the CCK2R-mediated pathway, both peptide agonists derived from natural CCK or gastrin sequences and small molecule-based antagonists have been developed. More recently, targeted radioligand approaches have also been explored, with most using peptide agonists as carriers, and the F 11 N-radionuclide complex [4 - 6] being a notable example. Small molecule CCK2R antagonists have also been evaluated using radionuclide carriers more recently [7 - 8].
[0006] Targeting receptors overexpressed on the surface of tumors has been a fruitful approach, which has led to many effective cancer treatments. However, it is also widely recognized that tumor heterogeneity has limited its potential, and additional challenges arise if the receptor has a relatively low copy number per cell.
[0007] Methods that will address these challenges have not been developed and are highly desirable. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The applicant has developed a dual-targeting compound that can recognize both somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2) and cholecystokinin 2 receptor (CCK2R). When complexed with a radionuclide, this compound can be used, for example, in tumor diagnostics and / or therapy for tumors overexpressing either SSTR2 or CCK2R.

When complexed with a radionuclide, the radioligand forms a radiopharmaceutical that can be used, for example, in the diagnosis and / or treatment of tumors (such as tumors overexpressing either SSTR2 or CCK2R).
[0115] Those skilled in the art will understand that a dual-receptor targeting radioligand will need to maintain sufficient and balanced binding affinities for both receptors. Further, since the dual-targeting radioligand is based on two single-target receptor-binding compounds, it will be understood that the dual-targeting radioligand will have physicochemical properties significantly different from either of the single-target receptor-binding parent compounds. Thus, the non-target-driven biodistribution pattern of the single-target receptor-binding compound can be greatly altered. In addition, the undesired distribution of the radioligand in vivo can also be target-driven, so the dual-targeting vector may exacerbate this target-directed normal organ accumulation.
[0116] The Applicant has investigated chemical and biophysical properties such as molecular size, hydrophobicity, net charge, charge distribution, and distribution of hydrophobic regions to determine the factors contributing to the biodistribution profile of the radioligand when complexed with a radionuclide. By modulating the net charge and / or hydrophobicity of the radioligand when complexed with a radionuclide, the Applicant has developed the dual-targeting radioligand compounds of the present application that exhibit good binding affinities for both somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2) and cholecystokinin receptor type 2 (CCK2R).
[0117] Further, the exemplary dual-targeting radioligand compounds of the present application have been shown to have increased target cell radionuclide uptake while keeping off-target normal organ accumulation to a minimum. Normal organs include, but are not limited to, the kidneys and the liver.
[0118] Accordingly, the present application includes a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, and / or prodrug thereof,

[0191] Those skilled in the art will understand that as used herein, a "chelating group derived from a chelating agent" refers to a chelating agent derivative formed after the chelating agent is attached to a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, and / or prodrug thereof (e.g., attached to L 1 (or when L 1 is a direct bond, attached to T)). For example, a "chelating group derived from a chelating agent" can be a chelating agent with an available carboxyl group (or its ester) without "-OH" (or its ester), an available amino group on the chelating agent without the "H" moiety, an available isothiocyanate on the chelating agent without the "NCS" moiety, a chelating agent with an available maleimide group without the "H" moiety, a chelating agent whose available acetylene group has reacted to attach to a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, and / or prodrug thereof, or a chelating agent whose available tetrazole group has reacted to attach to a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, and / or prodrug thereof. For example, those skilled in the art will understand that when E is a chelating group derived from DOTA, one "-OH" from one of the four available carboxyl groups on DOTA is removed to form a connection, such as an amide bond, with L 1 (or when L 1 is a direct bond, T therein), leaving three available carboxyl groups.

[0210] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that when L 1 , L 2 and L 3 When any one of is a divalent linker, the divalent linker and E, Z 1 or Z 2 Thus, in some embodiments, the divalent linker is capable of forming covalent bonds with E, Z 1 or Z 2 In some embodiments, the divalent linker comprises a linker moiety selected from the group consisting of amine, ether, thioether, carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, sulfone, sulfoxide, urea, thiourea, and amide. In some embodiments, the divalent linker comprises at the end a linker moiety capable of bonding to E, Z, 1 or Z 2 The complementary functional groups on E and T respectively form covalent bonds. For example, in some embodiments, the divalent linker comprises an amine at the terminal end that reacts with the carboxylic acid group on E. In some embodiments, the divalent linker comprises an amine at the terminal end that reacts with the carboxylic acid group on E to form an amide.
[0211] In some embodiments, L 1 , L 2 and L 3 Each is independently a direct bond or a divalent linker. 1 , L 2 and L 3 are each independently a direct bond or a divalent linker, and these divalent linkers comprise independently selected from amino acid residues, C 1-27Alkylene, C 2-27 Alkenylene and C 2-27 The total number of alkynylene groups is 1 to 15. 1-27 Alkylene, C 2-27 Alkenylene and C 2-27 The alkynylene groups are independently and optionally interrupted by one or more linker moieties selected from the group consisting of amine, ether, thioether, carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, sulfone, sulfoxide, urea, thiourea, and amide.
[0212] Therefore, in some embodiments, L 1 , L 2 and L 3 Each is independently a direct bond or a divalent linker, and these divalent linkers comprise amino acid residues, W a , R a , R a –W a , W a –R b , R a –W a –R b and W a –R b –W b A total of 1 to 15 groups,

[0214] Each Y and Y' is independently selected from O, S, C(O) and NR 6 ;
[0215] Each R 5 Independently selected from H and C 1-6 alkyl;
[0216] Each R 6Independently selected from H and C 1-3 Alkyl; and
[0217] p is an integer selected from 1-8.
[0218] As used herein, "a divalent linker comprises 1 to 15 groups in total" means that the groups from the 1, 2 or 3 divalent linkers total 0 to 15. For example, in which L 1 It is a direct key, L 2 is an amino acid residue, and L 3 In compounds of formula I where the residues are identical or different amino acid residues, the total number of the residues is 2.
[0219] One skilled in the art will appreciate that two adjacent groups in a divalent linker should be selected to avoid a direct bond between the two groups that would result in a partial structure that is unstable in aqueous media, for example at room temperature (such as about 18°C to about 25°C).

[0340] Therefore, in exemplary embodiments, the present application includes a radionuclide complex or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and / or solvate thereof, which comprises a compound of the present application or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and / or solvate thereof, and a lanthanide radionuclide. In some embodiments, the lanthanide radionuclide is 177 Lu.
[0341] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is an acid addition salt or a base addition salt. Suitable salts can be selected by one skilled in the art (see, for example, SM Berge, et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19).
[0342] Acid addition salts suitable for the treatment of an object or compatible therewith are any nontoxic organic or inorganic acid addition salts of any basic compound. Basic compounds forming acid addition salts include, for example, compounds comprising an amine group. Illustrative inorganic acids forming suitable salts include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid, and acidic metal salts, such as sodium monohydrogen orthophosphate and potassium hydrogen sulfate. Illustrative organic acids forming suitable salts include monocarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acids and tricarboxylic acids. Illustrative organic acids of this type are, for example, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, benzoic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, salicylic acid, 2-phenoxybenzoic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and other sulfonic acids, such as methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid and 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid. In one embodiment, an acid or di-acid salt is formed, and this salt exists in a hydrated form, a solvated form, or a substantially anhydrous form. Generally speaking, acid addition salts are more soluble in water and various hydrophilic organic solvents than their free base forms, and generally exhibit higher melting points. The selection criteria for suitable salts will be known to those skilled in the art. Other non-pharmaceutically acceptable salts (such as, but not limited to, oxalates) can, for example, be used to separate the compounds of the present application for laboratory use, or for subsequent conversion into pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts.
[0343] The base addition salts suitable for the treatment of the object or compatible therewith are any nontoxic organic or inorganic base addition salts of any acidic compound. The acidic compound forming the base addition salts, for example, includes compounds comprising carboxylic acid groups. The illustrative inorganic bases forming suitable salts include lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide or barium hydroxide and ammonia. The illustrative organic bases forming suitable salts include aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic organic amines, such as isopropylamine, methylamine, trimethylamine, picoline, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, halamine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, glucosamine, methylglucosamine, theobromine, purine, piperazine, piperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, polyamine resins etc. Exemplary inorganic bases are isopropylamine, diethylamine, ethanolamine, trimethylamine, dicyclohexylamine, choline and caffeine. The selection of appropriate salts can be used, for example, to prevent ester functionality (if any) elsewhere in the compound from being hydrolyzed. The selection criteria for appropriate salts will be known to those skilled in the art.
[0344] Solvates of the compounds of the present application include, for example, solvates made with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents. Examples of such solvents include water (the resulting solvates are referred to as hydrates) and ethanol, etc. Suitable solvents are physiologically tolerable at the administered dose.

[0393] V. Methods for preparing the compounds of the present application
[0394] The compounds and / or complexes or control compounds of the present application can be prepared by various synthesis processes. The selection of specific structural features and / or substituents can affect the selection of one process rather than another process. The selection of a specific process for preparing a given compound of the present application and / or complex or control compound is within the capabilities of those skilled in the art. Some starting materials for preparing the compounds of the present application can be obtained from commercial chemical sources. Other starting materials (such as described below) are easily prepared from available precursors using simple conversions well known in the art.
[0395] In some embodiments, compounds of Formula I or reference compounds are prepared in whole or in part using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) or solution phase coupling techniques known in the art (e.g., using the synthetic procedures found in Stewart and Young, 1984, Solid Phase Synthesis, 2nd ed., Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, III.; Fields and Noble, 1990, “Solid phase peptide synthesis utilizing 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl amino acids,” Int. J. Pept. Protein Res. 35:161-214; Geysen et al., 1987, J. Immunol. Methods 102:259-274).
[0396] Thus, in some embodiments, in SPPS, an Nα protected linker group (such as tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) or 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) amino acid linker group) is activated at the α-carbonyl and coupled to the deprotected Nα functionality of the solid support. The newly added Nα protected linker group is then deprotected and coupled to the next Nα protected linker group (if necessary) until the final cleavage step. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the chemistry of the steps of coupling, deprotection, and final cleavage from the solid support of the linker depends on the choice of the αN protecting group. In some embodiments, cleavage is accomplished by treatment with an acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), optionally in the presence of a scavenger reagent such as triisopropylsilane. In some embodiments, when the αN protecting group is Fmoc, cleavage in acid will also result in deprotection of the side chain.
[0397] Thus, in exemplary embodiments, the compounds of Formula I or control compounds are prepared using fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) solid phase peptide synthesis chemistry known in the art. Thus, in some embodiments, the compounds of Formula I or fragments are prepared manually or by using an automated multi-solid phase peptide synthesizer using Wang resin, Rink Amide-MBHA or equivalent resin and a Fmoc protected linker group derivative with suitable side chain protection, such as Fmoc-Ala-OH, Fmoc-Arg(Pbf)-OH, Fmoc-Asn(Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Cys(Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Gly-OH, Fmoc-His(Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Ile-OH, Fmoc- Leu-OH, Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Met-OH, Fmoc-Phe-OH, Fmoc-Pro-OH, Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Val-OH, Fmoc-Lys(Mtt)-OH, Fmoc-Lys(ivDde)-OH, Fmoc-Nle-OH, Fmoc-8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid (Fmoc-OEG-OH), Fmoc-Glu-OtBu. The resin is swollen using a suitable solvent such as a combination of dichloromethane (DCM) and dimethylformamide (DMF). Before each coupling step, the base-labile Na protecting group Fmoc is cleaved from the Fmoc protected linker group using a suitable base (such as piperidine) in a suitable solvent (such as DMF) with a cleavage time (e.g., about 10-15 min) to cleave the Fmoc protecting group. The resin is then washed with a suitable solvent (such as DMF) to, for example, remove the piperidine. A coupling agent known in the art (e.g., N, N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) and ethyl cyanoxime (Oxyma, for example)) is then used in a suitable solvent (such as DMF). ) or (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt)) are coupled with an excess of Fmoc linker groups (e.g., 4 to 8 molar equivalents) for about 1 to about 2 hours, followed by further washing with a suitable solvent (such as DMF). The coupling step is repeated once for each linker group.
[0398] If necessary, the methyltrityl (Mtt) group in the Fmoc-Lys(Mtt)-OH (i.e., N-α-Fmoc-N-ε-4-methyltrityl-L-lysine) linker group or the deprotected Lys(Mtt) residue in the linker fragment is removed by treating the group or residue with hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) (e.g., about 30% v / v) in a suitable solvent (such as dichloromethane (DCM)) for a suitable amount of time (e.g., about 1 hour), followed by washing the resin with a suitable solvent and repeating the treatment with HFIP in DCM, followed by a final wash with DCM.
[0399] After coupling, the compound of formula I, the reference compound or its fragment is cut from the solid phase by treating with a suitable acid (e.g., trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)) and optionally in the presence of a trialkylsilane such as triisopropylsilane (TIP) and water, and then precipitated with a suitable solvent such as diethyl ether. The product is dissolved in a suitable solvent such as water and acetonitrile and purified using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), such as reversed phase HPLC using a suitable solvent or solvent mixture such as water with acetonitrile and TFA, with a gradient increase of acetonitrile. The relevant fractions are checked by analytical UPLC. The fractions containing the pure target compound are merged and freeze-dried.
[0400] Chelating groups such as DOTA are conjugated to linker fragments, e.g., the epsilon amine of a lysine residue of a linker fragment or a linker fragment attached to a tumor binding group and / or a cycle-enhancing group using active ester chemistry known in the art. For example, DOTA is combined with a linker fragment in the presence of a base such as an amine.
[0401] Chelating groups can be synthesized by methods known in the art or can be obtained commercially. For example, DOTA can be obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Missouri, United States).
[0402] Formation of the desired compound is achieved using standard techniques, for example, by treating the neutral compound with an acid or base in a suitable solvent and isolating the salt formed by filtration, extraction or any other suitable method.
[0403] The formation of solvates will vary depending on the compound and the solvate. Generally speaking, solvates are formed by dissolving the compound in a suitable solvent and separating the solvate by cooling or using an anti-solvent. Solvates are usually dried or azeotropic at ambient conditions. Those skilled in the art can make a selection of the conditions suitable for forming a specific solvate. Examples of suitable solvents are ethanol, water, etc. When water is a solvent, the molecule is referred to as a "hydrate". The formation of solvates of the compounds of the present application will vary depending on the compound and the solvate. Generally speaking, solvates are formed by dissolving the compound in a suitable solvent and separating the solvate by cooling or using an anti-solvent. Solvates are usually dried or azeotropic at ambient conditions. Those skilled in the art can make a selection of the conditions suitable for forming a specific solvate.
[0404] In all processes described herein, it should be understood that, when appropriate, suitable blocking groups will be added to various reactants and intermediates and subsequently removed from various reactants and intermediates in a manner that will be readily understood by those skilled in the art. The conventional procedures for using this blocking group and the example of suitable blocking groups are described in, for example, " Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis ", TW Green, PGM Wuts, Wiley-Interscience, New York, (1999). It should also be understood that the conversion of a group or substituent to another group or substituent by chemical manipulation can be carried out on any intermediate or final product on the synthetic path toward the final product, wherein possible conversion types are only limited to other functionalities carried by the molecule of this stage and the inherent incompatibility of the conditions or reagents used in the conversion.

[0412] Loading of C-Terminal Residues
[0413] C-terminal acid peptide
[0414] The C-terminal peptides were prepared using Wang resin. The coupling of the first C-terminal residue was initiated by 2 Wang resin (loading 1.1 mmol / g, 5.0 mmol) was swollen in DCM (50 mL) in a SPPS reactor bubbling for 30 min. The resin was then filtered and washed 3 times with DMF (50 mL). In another flask, a mixture of Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-OH (15 mmol), DIC (15 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (0.5 mmol) in DMF (60 mL) was stirred at rt for 15 min and then transferred to the above reactor. The resulting mixture was washed with N 2 The mixture was bubbled for 4 h, then filtered and washed 6 times with DMF (50 mL), followed by the addition of DMF (60 mL), acetic anhydride (50 mmol) and DMAP (0.50 mmol). 2 Bubble for 2 h, then filter dry and wash the resin 6 times with DMF (50 mL).
[0415] C-terminal amide peptide
[0416] C-terminal amide peptides were prepared using Rink Amide-MBHA resin. Standard amide bond coupling conditions were followed to attach the first C-terminal residue (Fmoc-Lys(Mtt)-OH or Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-OH) using PyBOP / HOBt / DIEA as coupling reagents. The resin was washed 6 times with DMF before coupling the second residue.
[0417] C-terminal alcohol peptide
[0418] The C-terminal alcohol peptide was prepared using chlorotrityl chloride (CTC) resin, and the first C-terminal residue Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-ol was attached to the CTC resin by mixing 2 equivalents of Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-ol with the resin in the presence of 3 equivalents of DIEA in DMF at rt for 4 h, followed by washing and blocking with 50% MeOH / DMF at RT for 1 h. The resin was then washed 6 times with DMF.
[0419] Standard Solid-Phase Assembly Protocol
[0420] The synthesis was performed manually using Fmoc-based chemistry. The step-by-step assembly was performed as follows:
[0421] 1) Pre-swelling the resin with DCM and DMF;
[0422] 2) Remove the Fmoc group by 20% piperidine; treat twice, each time for 10 min;
[0423] 3) washing the resin with DMF to remove piperidine;
[0424] 4) Fmoc-amino acid (1 mmol), PyBOP (1 mmol), HOBt (0.2 mmol) and DMF (5 mL) were added to a reactor containing 0.20 mmol of resin, followed by DIEA (2 mmol), and the resulting mixture was mixed by bubbling nitrogen for 1-2 h;
[0425] 5) Filter the resin and wash it with DMF 6 times;
[0426] 6) If necessary, the N-ε-lysine Mtt protecting group can be removed by treating the resin with 30% (v / v) HFIP in DCM for 1 h and twice; drain the resin and wash with DCM and DMF;
[0427] 8) Final washes before resin cleavage were completed with DMF (3 times), DCM (3 times) and MeOH (3 times), respectively.
[0428] Resin cleavage conditions and purification
[0429] After solid-phase peptide assembly was complete, the resin was subjected to TFA / triisopropylsilane (TIS) / H 2 The resin was filtered off and washed once with TFA, and the combined filtrates were treated with methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) to precipitate the crude peptide from the solution. The precipitate was collected by centrifugation and washed three times with diethyl ether, dried briefly, and then in acetonitrile (ACN) and H 2 Redissolve in HO to a concentration of 1 mM or less. ACN and HO 2 The volume ratio of O can be adjusted to a relatively low ACN percentage while ensuring that a completely clear solution can still be achieved. The pH of the resulting solution is adjusted to 4-5 by adding acetic acid, and then an iodine solution in methanol (1.0 grams of iodine in 100 mL of methanol) is added dropwise until the iodine purple color is maintained. The slightly purple mixture is then gently stirred for another 30 min, and then ascorbic acid solid (several mg per portion) is added until the purple color disappears completely. The resulting crude product is subjected to purification using a reverse phase preparative HPLC system (Waters Delta Prep 4000) with a C18 reverse phase column. Mobile phase: A: 0.1% TFA / H 2O; B: 0.1% TFA / ACN. Relevant fractions were analyzed by analytical ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). Pure fractions were combined and freeze-dried to give the product as a white lyophilized powder.

[0880] Example B1: Cell-based binding affinity of the exemplary compounds of the present application
[0881] AR42J cells (ATCC) were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (BI) in a humidified incubator with 5% CO 2 at 37 °C. The medium was changed every 2 - 3 days with fresh medium. Experiments were performed with cells at 70 - 80% confluence.
[0882] Binding affinity was tested using 125 I-labeled competitive ligands.
[0883] By using 125 I-C1 and 125 I-C3 as competitive ligands in a competitive cell binding assay to determine the binding affinity of the test compounds. At a concentration of 1 - 3 x 10 6AR42J cells suspended in binding buffer (RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 0.25% bovine serum albumin) at a density of 125 I-C1 and 125 I-C3 (0.02 μCi / well) were incubated at 37 °C for 1 h (n = 3). The final volume in each well was kept at 200 μL, and the insufficient volume was adjusted with binding buffer. After 1 h incubation, unbound 125 I competitive ligands were removed by filtration using a Multiscreen vacuum manifold (Millipore), followed by rinsing with binding buffer (3 times). The filters were collected and their radioactivity was measured individually by a gamma counter (2480 WIZARD2, PerkinElmer). The best-fit IC 50 values of the test compounds were calculated by fitting the data with non-linear regression using GraphPad Prism 8.0.1 (the inhibitory concentration when 50% of the bound 125 I-C1 and 125 I-C3 on the cells was replaced).
[0884] The results are shown in Table 1. The relative binding affinities of the exemplary compounds of the present application based on the average value of the IC 50 numbers are shown in Table 2.
[0885] In the radioligand competitive binding assay described above, all the exemplary compounds of the present application showed binding affinities with IC 50 values in the range of about 100 pM to about 1.0 μM for SSTR2 and CCK2R. Compared with their respective monofunctional controls C-1 and C-2, most of the bifunctional compounds showed comparable or stronger activities against SSTR2 and CCK2R receptors.

[0946] Example B2: Biodistribution study
[0947] All animal care and experimental procedures were conducted in accordance with the animal protocol approved by the Ethics Committee of China Institute of Radiation Protection. These studies utilized BALB / c nude mice (Charles River, Beijing). The mice were housed in sterile micro-isolator cages at a density of less than 5 per cage under temperature- and humidity-controlled conditions, with a 12 h light / 12 h dark schedule, and were fed irradiated rodent chow and reverse osmosis (RO) sterile water ad libitum. When preparing for tumor cell inoculation, the mice were anesthetized with isoflurane (RWD Life Science Inc.) at an induction rate of 4%, and maintained at a rate of 2.5% with 0.4 L of oxygen delivered via a precision vaporizer and a non-rebreathing device. These mice received approximately 4×10 suspended in 200 μL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and Matrigel (Corning) (1 / 1) 6Subcutaneous posterior flank injection of AR42J cells (human pancreatic cancer cell line). After inoculation, the xenograft tumors were allowed to grow for about 2 - 4 weeks, and their mass ranged from 0.05 to 0.50 g (average tumor size was 0.20 g). Biodistribution studies were conducted in nude mice by tail vein injection of each test compound, which was about 10–50 μCi (about 0.37–1.85 MBq), with a specific activity of 50 - 250 μCi / nmol, delivered in 100 μL of 0.9% NaCl. The mice were euthanized, and tissues and organs were excised from the animals at 4, 24, and 72 h post - injection. The tissues and organs were weighed, counted in a PerkinElmer 2480 WIZARD2 γ - counter, and the percentage of injected dose (%ID) and %ID / g in each organ or tissue were calculated.
[0948] All of the exemplary compounds tested exhibited measurable radionuclide tumor uptake. The uptake of radionuclide in normal organs, including the kidneys and liver, was found to depend on the net charge of the compound - radionuclide complex and the length and chemical nature of the linker.
[0949] Table 5 - 15 shows the biodistribution of various compounds in AR42J tumor - bearing mice.
[0950] Table 5 shows the effect of net charge number and total combined linker length on biodistribution: 24 hours after administration 177 Tumor and organ uptake of Lu - labeled compounds of formula I and the respective tumor - to - organ ratios.
[0951] Charge is presented as the 177 Lu - chelation state of exemplary compounds of formula I at physiological pH. For example, when E is a DOTA moiety containing three free carboxylic acid groups (chelating moiety from DOTA), this DOTA moiety will have a 0 net charge when complexed with 177 Lu. Similarly, when E is a DOTAGA moiety containing four free carboxylic acid groups, this DOTAGA moiety will have a - 1 net charge when complexed with Lu - 17. Further, C - terminal and side - chain groups with free carboxyl groups (such as including glutamic acid or γ - glutamic acid) will be counted as contributing - 1 charge for each free carboxyl group; and N - terminal and side - chain groups with free amines (e.g., the ε - amine of lysine or the guanidine group of arginine) will be counted as contributing + 1 charge for each free amine.

[0988] Discussion
[0989] Based on structure-activity relationship studies, a trifunctional radiopharmaceutical ligand consisting of an SSTR2-binding group, a CCK2R-binding group, and a radionuclide chelating group has been constructed in such a way that the radiopharmaceutical ligand has a dual-targeting carrier, each carrier having a good binding affinity for the original binding site of its respective receptor.
[0990] Subsequently, the in vivo biodistribution and imaging profile of exemplary dual-receptor targeting radioligands were optimized. Chemical and biophysical properties such as molecular size, hydrophobicity, net charge, charge distribution, and distribution of hydrophobic regions were investigated to identify factors contributing to the biodistribution profile. Such studies unexpectedly revealed that minor changes in these physicochemical properties can have an impact on the biodistribution profile of radioligands. For example, it was found that some radioligands with a high negative net charge resulted in high renal uptake when complexed with a radionuclide, while radioligands with a net charge of, for example, +2 to -3 provided a good overall biodistribution profile when complexed with a radionuclide. In addition, it was observed that radioligands with a hydrophobic bivalent linker or sometimes without a bivalent linker led to higher radionuclide uptake in the liver, while radioligands with a longer hydrophilic linker could be detrimental to the tumor / kidney ratio. Some exemplary radioligands providing high tumor uptake and minimal normal organ accumulation were found to consist of a short hydrophilic linker and a net charge of 0 or -1 when complexed with a radionuclide (e.g., 177 Lu).
[0991] Accordingly, novel SSTR2 and CCK2R dual-targeting radioligands have been identified. The radioligands of the present application have been shown to possess a strong and balanced binding affinity for both the SSTR2 and CCK2R receptors. Further, when chelated with 177 Lu, the radioligands of the present application have been shown to exhibit a favorable in vivo biodistribution profile in an AR42J tumor-bearing mouse model. The radioligands of the present application showed both high tumor uptake and a good tumor / kidney biodistribution ratio as well as a good tumor / liver biodistribution ratio. Accordingly, such radioligands with this unexpectedly favorable distribution profile will have an acceptable safety window and desirable therapeutic efficacy in cancer patients with overexpression of either SSTR2 or CCK2R.
