Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to radiolabeled complexes and their applications, specifically to a radiopharmaceutical containing a nitroimidazole group that targets CA IX, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the fields of radiopharmaceutical chemistry and clinical nuclear medicine. Background Technology
[0002] The tumor microenvironment (TME) refers to the local environment in which tumor cells reside. It is composed of various components, including tumor cells, the extracellular matrix, and blood vessels, and plays a crucial role in tumor development, growth, metastasis, and invasion. Due to the highly active metabolism of tumor cells and insufficient oxygen supply from blood vessels, hypoxia is one of the most important characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, and the vast majority of solid tumors exhibit hypoxic features. Under hypoxic conditions, the concentration of hydrogen ions outside cancer cells increases, forming an acidic microenvironment. To maintain pH homeostasis, cancer cells express a series of proteins to regulate the pH inside and outside the cell, thereby promoting their proliferation and metastasis. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is one such important protein, regulating the pH inside and outside cancer cells by catalyzing the simple reaction of carbon dioxide hydration into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions. CA IX is a metallotransmembrane protein regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Under hypoxic conditions, HIF-1α cannot be degraded, leading to high expression of CA IX in various tumor cells, including breast cancer and head and neck cancer. In contrast, expression in normal tissues is low, with CA IX only detected in gastric and intestinal epithelial cells. Furthermore, due to gene mutations, the von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL) pathway is dysfunctional in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), resulting in high expression of CA IX even under normoxic conditions. Therefore, CA IX is a biomarker strongly associated with various solid tumors and ccRCC, and is considered a promising target for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
[0003] Given the frequent coexistence of hypoxic microenvironment and CA IX in tumor tissues, introducing hypoxia-sensitive groups into molecular probes targeting CA IX may enhance tumor uptake and retention, and improve the target-to-non-target ratio. Nitroimidazole is a classic hypoxia-sensitive molecule and is widely used in designing molecular probes for detecting tissue hypoxia. In 2026, Teng Peng et al. designed a polypeptide molecular probe containing 2-nitroimidazole. 68Ga]Ga-IPM-N001 (J. Med. Chem. 2026, 69, 7474 − 7487) exhibited high tumor uptake and target-to-non-target ratio in tumor-bearing mice, demonstrating good imaging effects. Compared to peptide molecules, small molecules are generally easier to synthesize and have better stability and tissue penetration in vivo. Therefore, the development of molecular probes containing nitroimidazole groups targeting CA IX based on small molecules has important clinical value and practical significance. However, work in this area is currently lacking. Only in 2025 did Chu Taiwei et al. develop a series of radioiodine-labeled small molecule probes containing 2-nitroimidazole targeting CA IX (Eur. J. Med. Chem. 289(2025) 117443). In cell experiments, these probes showed significantly higher cellular uptake under hypoxic conditions, indicating that nitroimidazole plays an important role. However, their study only included in vitro cell experiments and lacked any in vivo evaluation, thus lacking relevant data to prove its effectiveness in vivo. Therefore, based on the above objective facts, this invention aims to develop a small molecule compound containing a nitroimidazole group that targets CA IX, and obtain a corresponding molecular probe through radiolabeling, so as to enhance tumor uptake and retention, improve the target-to-non-target ratio, and thus achieve early diagnosis, efficacy monitoring and targeted therapy of cancer. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small molecule compound containing a nitroimidazole group that specifically targets CA IX, which is simple to label, has high tumor uptake, strong retention, and a good target-to-non-target ratio. It exhibits high affinity and specificity for CA IX and can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of CA IX-positive tumors, achieving an integrated diagnosis and treatment effect. This invention belongs to the fields of radiopharmaceuticals and nuclear medicine.

[0123] Unless otherwise specified, all reagents, raw materials and equipment used in the following examples are commercially available products.
[0124] Example 1: Synthesis of compound CAIX-DJ01 (e.g.) Figure 1 (As shown)
[0125] This embodiment provides a synthetic scheme for a ligand CAIX-DJ01 containing a nitroimidazole group that targets CA IX, wherein the ligand CAIX-DJ01 has the following structure:
[0126]
[0127] Synthesis route:
[0128] Step 1:
[0129]
[0130] Compound 1 (2.22 g, 10.0 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of ethanol, and concentrated hydrochloric acid (10 mL) was added at room temperature. The mixture was refluxed at 85°C for 2 h, and the reaction was monitored by TLC (dichloromethane / methanol = 5:1, v / v). After the reaction was complete, the pH was adjusted to alkaline with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and then extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL × 3). The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a white solid (compound 2, 1.57 g, 8.7 mmol).
[0131] Step Two:
[0132]
[0133] Compound 4-pentynic acid (1.75 g, 17.8 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of dichloromethane and cooled to 0°C in an ice-water bath. Oxaloyl chloride (2.15 g, 16.9 mmol, 1.48 mL) was then added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound Pent-4-ynoyl chloride, which was a yellow oil.
[0134] Compound 2 (1.57 g, 8.7 mmol) and pyridine (2.37 g, 17.5 mmol, 2.42 mL) were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide and cooled to 0°C in an ice-water bath. Pent-4-ynoyl chloride was dissolved in dichloromethane and added dropwise to the reaction flask, followed by stirring at room temperature for 12 h. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed by concentration under reduced pressure, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate) to give a pale yellow solid (compound 3, 1.15 g, 4.4 mmol).
[0135] Step 3:
[0136]
[0137] Under nitrogen protection, compound 3 (0.52 g, 2.0 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran. Then, 6-azidohexanoic acid (0.31 g, 2.0 mmol), sodium ascorbate (0.16 g, 0.8 mmol), and copper sulfate pentahydrate (0.1 g, 0.4 mmol) were added sequentially to the solution.

The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature and monitored by TLC (dichloromethane / methanol = 10:1, v / v). After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in DCM. TFA was added, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4 h, monitored by TLC (dichloromethane / methanol = 5:1, v / v). After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (dichloromethane / methanol = 5:1, v / v) to give a transparent oil (compound 5, 176 mg, 0.3 mmol).
[0141] Step 5:
[0142]
[0143] Compound 6 (1.13 g, 10 mmol) and N-(2-bromoethyl)phthalimide (3.05 g, 12 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (50 mL), followed by the addition of potassium carbonate (0.98 g, 12 mmol). The solution was heated under reflux at 110°C for 3 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered, the filtrate was evaporated to dryness, washed with water, and dried to give a white solid (compound 7, 2.56 g, 8.9 mmol).
[0144] Step Six:
[0145]
[0146] Compound 7 (1.43 g, 5 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (85% by mass, 0.5 mL) were dissolved in 50 mL of anhydrous ethanol. The solution was heated under reflux for 4 h, and the reaction was monitored by TLC (dichloromethane / methanol = 10:1, v / v). After the reaction was complete, the solution was cooled to room temperature and then stored at 0°C for 12 h to allow the solid to precipitate. The solid was then filtered, the filtrate was evaporated to dryness, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (dichloromethane / methanol = 10:1, v / v) to give a yellow solid (compound 8, 0.58 g, 3.7 mmol).
[0147] Step Seven:
[0148]
[0149] Compound 8 (94 mg, 0.6 mmol), fluorenemethoxycarbonyl-L-glutamic acid 1-tert-butyl ester (213 mg, 0.5 mmol), and DIPEA (142 mg, 1.1 mmol) were weighed and dissolved in DMF (5 mL). HATU (228 mg, 0.6 mmol) was added with stirring, and the reaction was carried out overnight at room temperature, monitored by TLC (dichloromethane / methanol = 30:1, v / v). After the reaction was complete, the reaction solution was diluted with 15 mL of deionized water, and then extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL × 3). The solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was evaporated to dryness, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (dichloromethane / methanol = 30:1, v / v) to give a pale yellow solid (compound 9, 245 mg, 0.4 mmol).
[0150] Step 8:
[0151]
[0152] Compound 9 (74 mg, 0.1 mmol) was dissolved in 1.5 mL of trifluoroacetic acid, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation, and the residue was dissolved in DMF (5 mL). Subsequently, compound 5 (71 mg, 0.1 mmol), DIPEA (38 mg, 0.2 mmol), and HATU (61 mg, 0.2 mmol) were added sequentially, and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was monitored by TLC (dichloromethane / methanol = 10:1, v / v). After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (dichloromethane / methanol = 10:1, v / v) to give a pale yellow solid (compound 10, 96 mg, 0.1 mmol).
[0153] Step Nine:
[0154]
[0155] Compound 10 (52 mg, 0.05 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (2 mL), and DEA (1 mL) was added. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to obtain compound 11.
[0156] Step 10:
[0157]
[0158] Compound 11 was dissolved in DMF (3 mL), followed by the addition of DIPEA (65 mg, 0.5 mmol) and DOTA-NHS-ester (30 mg, 0.06 mmol, dissolved in 2 mL DMF). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by HPLC to obtain compound CAIX-DJ01 (29 mg, 0.03 mmol).
[0159] The product CAIX-DJ01 was characterized by mass spectrometry. The theoretical value was 1200.4764, and the measured value was [M+K]. + : 1239.4402, such as Figure 2 As shown.
[0160] Example 2: Molecular probe [ 68 Preparation and quality control analysis of Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ01
[0161]
[0162] [ 68 The marking process of Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ01
[0163] This embodiment provides a molecular probe. 68 The preparation and quality control analysis of Ga-CAIX-DJ01 were performed as follows: An appropriate amount of ligand CAIX-DJ01 was weighed and prepared into a 1 mg / mL ligand solution using DMSO. The germanium-gallium generator was rinsed with 5 mL of high-purity 0.1 M hydrochloric acid solution to obtain [Ga-CAIX-DJ01]. 68 Ga]GaCl3 solution. Take 1 mL of the solution obtained by rinsing. 68 A solution of Ga]GaCl3 was prepared, and 30 μL of ligand solution was added. The pH of the solution was then adjusted to 4.0-4.5 using high-purity sodium acetate solution (1 M). After thorough mixing, the resulting solution was capped and sealed, and reacted at 95°C for 10 min. After the reaction was complete, the solution was cooled to room temperature and then purified using a C18 column to obtain [ 68 Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ01 labeled solution.
[0164] In the above steps, during the C18 column purification, 10 mL of ethanol and 10 mL of water were used to pre-activate the C18 column. The target product was loaded using a 1 mL syringe. 68 Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ01 was adsorbed onto a C18 column, then the column was washed with 0.8 mL of anhydrous ethanol, dried under nitrogen at 50°C, and finally 1 mL of physiological saline for injection was added to obtain the purified [Ga-CAIX-DJ01]. 68 Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ01 solution;
[0165] The quality control of the above products was performed using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and radio-HPLC. For TLC, rapid chromatography paper was used as the support, and 1 M citric acid solution and 15% HCl methanol solution were used as the developing solvents, respectively. After capillary spotting, the sample was developed in a developing bar. The paper was removed and dried when the solution reached approximately 1 cm from the top of the paper strip. The portion that the solution had reached was divided into 10 equal parts, and the radioactivity count of each part was measured using a γ-counter to calculate its radiochemical purity. The Rf values of each radioactive component in the two systems are shown in the table below.

[0167] For radio-HPLC, a C18 column was used. Phase A was an aqueous solution containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, and phase B was acetonitrile containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The gradient elution conditions were: 0-2 min, 10% B; 2-5 min, 10%-90% B; 5-15 min, 90% B; 15-25 min, 90%-10% B. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 1 mL / min.
[0168] like Figure 3 As shown, this is the [prepared] in Example 2 of the present invention. 68 The radio-HPLC chromatogram of Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ01 solution showed that... 68 The radiochemical purity of Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ01 is 99%.
[0169] Example 3: [ 68 In vitro stability test of Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ01
[0170] This embodiment provides [ 68 The in vitro stability experiment of Ga-CAIX-DJ01 was conducted as follows:

[0342] Example 35: [ 68 Biodistribution of Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ05 in OS-RC-2 tumor-bearing rat model
[0343] The animal model is an OS-RC-2 tumor subcutaneous heterotopic transplantation model established in BABL / c nude mice, which is a mouse model constructed from human renal cell carcinoma cells. Four tumor-bearing mice were randomly selected as a group, and the labeled and purified […]. 68 Ga-CAIX-DJ05 (0.74 MBq, 100 μL) injection solution was injected into mice via the tail vein. Mice were anesthetized and euthanized 60 min after injection. Tumors and other organs or tissues of interest (heart, liver, lung, kidney, spleen, stomach, bone, muscle, intestine, blood) were collected, weighed, and their radioactivity counts were measured using a gamma counter. The uptake was expressed as a percentage of the injected dose per gram of tissue (%ID / g). Results are as follows: Figure 42 As shown, the results indicate that [ 68 Ga]Ga-CAIX-DJ05 exhibits moderate tumor uptake, with significantly reduced uptake in other non-target organs such as the lungs, kidneys, and stomach.
[0344] The molecular probe obtained by radiolabeling the nitroimidazole group-containing CA IX-targeting compound of the present invention exhibits high tumor uptake and low uptake in non-target organs or tissues in tumor-bearing mice, high image contrast, good imaging effect, and good in vivo biodistribution properties. It is expected to be used for early cancer diagnosis, efficacy monitoring, and radionuclide targeted therapy.
