Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment, specifically relating to the preparation and application of a small molecule therapeutic drug targeting TSPO. Background Technology
[0002] TSPO (18kDa mitochondrial transporter) is a highly hydrophobic transmembrane protein, primarily located in the outer mitochondrial membrane and distributed in most peripheral organs, including the kidneys, nasal epithelium, adrenal glands, lungs, and heart. This protein participates in various cellular functions, including cholesterol transport, steroid hormone synthesis, mitochondrial respiration, permeability switching, pore opening, apoptosis, and cell proliferation. Depending on its specific function, changes in TSPO expression are associated with a variety of diseases, ranging from cancer to endocrine and neurological disorders. Therefore, TSPO has become a highly attractive subcellular target. In humans, TSPO expression levels are higher in various cancers, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, oral cancer, rectal cancer, liver cancer, and glioma, than in normal tissues. Previous studies have shown a positive correlation between TSPO protein expression and tumor malignancy, and a negative correlation with patient survival. TSPO expression is upregulated in various inflammation-related diseases and tumor tissues, making it a potential imaging and therapeutic target for inflammation-related diseases and tumors.
[0003] TSPO-targeting molecules can be used for imaging in tumors, inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases, with significant research focused on their detection in neuroinflammatory and tumor-related diseases. Early first-generation TSPO imaging agents... 11 C-(R)-PK11195 was initially used for the diagnosis of glioma patients, and later primarily for Alzheimer's disease imaging. However, its clinical application is limited due to low brain uptake, easy off-target effects, and short half-life (20 minutes). Currently, scientists have developed second- and third-generation targeted TSPO radiopharmaceuticals. One advantage of second-generation TSPO tracers is their affinity; Wilson et al. demonstrated this by using […] on rat mitochondrial membranes… 3 The affinity of FEPPA for TSPO was determined by competition with H]PK11195, and three other compounds with TSPO affinity were also tested. FEPPA was three times more potent than PBR28 and ten times more potent than DPA713 or the prototype PK 11195. However, the binding performance of second-generation TSPO tracers varied in different populations, possibly due to differences in TSPO expression levels among different disease groups. Third-generation TSPO tracers... 18 F-GE-180 (GE Healthcare) is a molecule containing a tricyclic indole nucleus of F-18. 18F-GE-180 showed high uptake in neuroinflammatory areas of preclinical models of middle cerebral artery occlusion and Alzheimer's disease, and low nonspecific binding in unaffected brain tissue. Besides tumor imaging, TSPO-targeted radiopharmaceuticals are also used for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that using radiotracers to target inflammatory lesions can maximize the efficiency of imaging detection of inflammatory sites. Endogenous synthetic TSPO ligands (PK11195 and 4-ClDzp) can affect normal cardiac energy supply and electrical activity stability. It has been reported that the development of various cardiovascular diseases can cause abnormal TSPO expression, such as myocardial infarction, myocarditis, arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, and vasculitis. Therefore, TSPO can serve as a therapeutic and diagnostic target for cardiovascular diseases. Several TSPO tracers have been reported for imaging cardiac diseases, such as […]. 18 FDG, used for non-invasive observation of myocardial infarction in its early stages, has been approved by the FDA for myocardial viability imaging. However, its drawback is poor specificity, with high uptake observed in normal tissues (such as the brain). Reported PET imaging agents specifically targeting TSPO include […]. 11 C]PK11195,[ 11 C]PBR28,[ 18 F]PBR06,[ 18 F]GE180, where, [ 11 C]PK11195 has been used for human carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque imaging, while [ 18 [F]GE180 showed high uptake at the lesion site in a mouse model of myocardial infarction. For osteoarthritis, studies have confirmed the presence of inflammatory responses in the synovium of osteoarthritis patients, and the severity of synovitis is closely related to the severity and progression of osteoarthritis. Macrophages are the main inflammatory cells in diseased synovial tissue, and their secreted pro-inflammatory factors and cartilage matrix degrading enzymes are important factors aggravating osteoarthritis and accelerating joint degeneration. Due to increased expression of M1 macrophages in synovial tissue, tissue inflammation develops. Currently, several imaging agents for osteoarthritis have been reported, such as […]. 99m Tc]EC20,[ 11 C]PBR28. 11 C]PBR28 has been reported for use in the detection of early inflammatory arthritis using PET, and significant uptake has been observed at osteoarthritis sites. This demonstrates that TSPO is overexpressed in a variety of diseases and can serve as a target for the diagnosis of multiple diseases, enabling early diagnosis and timely treatment.
[0004] Currently, most molecular imaging probes targeting TSPO are... 18 F and 11 C-labeled small molecule PET imaging, such as: 18F-FEDAC, etc. But 18 F labeling is difficult, so it is of great significance to develop a nuclear medicine probe that is easy to label and applicable to multiple nuclide labeling capabilities for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors and inflammation.
[0005] To this end, we designed and synthesized a series of TSPO molecules with DOTA-modified side chains, and verified the uptake of TSPO-targeting molecules linked to chelating agents in osteoarthritis, myocardial infarction, and glioma. We analyzed labeling conditions, drug stability, cell binding assays, in vivo PET imaging, and in vitro distribution studies to evaluate the efficacy of these drugs. 68 Ga-DOTA-HK-002, 68 Ga / 177 Lu-DOTA-HK-011, 68 Ga / 177 Lu-DOTA-HK-013, 68 The efficacy of Ga-DOTA-HK-015 in TSPO imaging and treatment demonstrates the effectiveness of TSPO probes linked to chelating agents. 68 Ga-DOTA-HKs exhibit good imaging performance against tumor cells and osteoarthritis tissues, while showing low uptake in normal tissues. Furthermore, the novel [Gadot-HKs] have been demonstrated in a mouse model of myocardial infarction. 177 Lu-DOTA-HKs have significant therapeutic effects on cardiovascular diseases. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nuclear medicine therapeutic agent that targets TSPO and its application. TSPO is expressed at low levels in normal tissues but at high levels in tumor and inflamed tissues. Developing nuclear medicine therapeutic agents that target TSPO is of great significance for the early detection and effective treatment of diseases. Based on the chemical structural characteristics of clinically used F-18-labeled small molecule drugs targeting TSPO, this invention constructs four drugs that specifically bind to TSPO through end-cap modifications. 68 Ga / 177 Novel Lu-labeled radiopharmaceuticals can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as tumors and inflammation, achieving the goal of early diagnosis and treatment.

[0022] This invention provides the application of nuclear medicine diagnostic and therapeutic agents that target TSPO in the preparation of reagents, drugs, and / or drug combinations for the diagnosis and / or treatment of tumors highly expressing TSPO. The tumors highly expressing TSPO include gliomas, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, thyroid cancer, thymoma, cervical cancer, colonic adenocarcinoma, prostate cancer, rectal adenocarcinoma, sarcoma, melanoma, and lymphoma.
