After induction of anesthesia, they are fixed in a 37°C constant temperature animal chamber (Minerve Vétérinaire, Esternay, France) to keep the animal temperature constant, and at the same time, 2.5 L / min of air mixed with 2% isoflurane gas is given to maintain anesthesia. Then, 0.5 mL of F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C (7.4 MBq) prepared in Example 2 and the clinical conventional imaging agent F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 (7.4 MBq) are injected into the tail vein of the mice, respectively. 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C (0.5 mL, 7.4 MBq) and the clinical conventional imaging agent F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 (0.5 mL, 7.4 MBq) are injected into the tail vein of the mice, respectively. 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 (0.5 mL, 7.4 MBq), and static collection is performed at 10 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min after injection. Image reconstruction is performed using a 3D Ordered Subsets Expectation Maximization (OSEM) algorithm based on a Monte Carlo system model. Image analysis is performed using PMOD software (PMOD Technologies LLC, Zurich, Switzerland) to delineate the volume of interest (ROI). CT image scanning: tube voltage 80 kV, tube current 1 mA, exposure time 40 s, pre-processing selection 160 um layer thickness, reconstruction using Feldkamp filtered back projection algorithm, and performing beam hardening correction and ring artifact correction.

The two injected imaging agents F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C and F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 have the same imaging effect. 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C and F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 18 The maximum standard uptake value body weight (SUVbw) of the tumor at 10 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min for F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 is shown in Table 1.

[0080] As shown in Table 1, the present invention provided in Embodiment 2 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C compared with existing clinically routine imaging agents provided in Comparison 1 at various time points. 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 exhibits higher tumor uptake and relatively slower metabolism, which is more beneficial for tumor diagnosis; simultaneously, the method provided in Embodiment 2 of this invention... 18 micro-PET / CT image of F-AIF-NOTA-FAPI-4C as shown below Figure 7 As shown. Furthermore, compared to 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C was prepared by ultrasonic-microwave synergistic processing under different parameters. 18 F-AIF-NOTA-FAPI-4C-1 and 18 Tumor uptake of F-AIF-NOTA-FAPI-4C-2 showed significant differences, such as 18 The maximum standard uptake value of F-AIF-NOTA-FAPI-4C-1 at 60 min was 18.03 ± 2.49 kg body weight, which was higher than that obtained by heat treatment. 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C has been improved; while 18 The maximum standard uptake value of F-AIF-NOTA-FAPI-4C-2 at 60 min decreased to 13.26±3.01 kg body weight. The inventors speculate that this may be due to the difference in the spatial stereoconformation of the compound caused by the synergistic treatment of ultrasound and microwave, which needs further verification.

[0081] At the same time, injection 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C and 18 After 120 minutes of F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 administration, the tumor / brain, tumor / liver, tumor / lung, and tumor / kidney ratios were 204.86 ± 24.58 vs 178 ± 36.57, 17.48 ± 4.23 vs 7.30 ± 2.15, 10.02 ± 2.15 vs 6.09 ± 1.63, and 1.26 ± 0.57 vs 0.32 ± 0.02, respectively, suggesting... 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-4C is more advantageous for delayed imaging of tumors in various sites due to its higher target-to-nucleus ratio (T / NT). Bone showed relatively low radioactive uptake at all time points, consistent with biodistribution results, confirming its in vivo stability.

[0082] In summary, the present application discloses a kind of 4-cyano thiazolidine modified FAPI derivative and its application, the FAPI derivative is good in stability, simple in preparation, high in radiochemical purity and good in biological performance, can be further used for clinical PET / CT tumor imaging, effectively solve the problems such as 18 F-AlF-NOTA-FAPI-42 and other existing clinical imaging 18 F-labeled FAPI class probe has the problems of low tumor uptake rate, short retention time and unable to further delay imaging, which makes up for the deficiencies of the prior art.
