Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nuclear medicine technology, specifically to cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugates targeting FAP, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Fibroblast activating protein (FAP) is a type II transmembrane serine protease that is highly expressed in more than 90% of fibroblasts in epithelial-derived malignant tumors, but low in normal tissues. It is one of the most promising pan-cancer targets in the field of tumor diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] Currently, the development of radiopharmaceuticals targeting FAP mainly revolves around small-molecule FAP inhibitors (FAPI) with a quinoline backbone and the cyclic peptide FAP-binding peptide FAP2286. FAP2286 is a FAP-binding cyclic peptide coupled to the radionuclide chelator DOTA. A pair of cysteine ​​residues in its cyclic peptide backbone are linked by the linker molecule TBMB (1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene), maintaining the peptide's stable rigid cyclic conformation and matching its binding pocket to FAP. Clinical studies have shown that radiolabeled FAP2286 has been observed to be taken up by tumors in tumor-bearing mice and cancer patients, and in multiple tumor types, FAP2286 exhibits superior tumor-suppressive effects compared to FAPI.

[0004] Currently, FAP2286-type radiopharmaceuticals still exhibit high non-specific uptake in normal organs throughout the body, and the background signal in normal organs needs improvement to enhance imaging contrast and diagnostic accuracy. However, the linker molecule TBMB used in the cyclic peptide backbone of FAP2286 is only used to maintain a rigid cyclic conformation and connect linkers. This limits its modification strategies, making it difficult to actively regulate the molecule's behavior in vivo by modulating linkers, thereby reducing non-specific uptake in normal organs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugate targeting FAP, wherein the bioorthogonal group on the fibroblast activation protein-targeting cyclic peptide not only stabilizes the cyclic peptide backbone but also serves as a reaction site, connecting with a linker containing complementary reactive groups via a bioorthogonal reaction. This not only avoids product heterogeneity but also significantly enriches modification strategies. By adjusting the linker, while maintaining or enhancing FAP affinity, tumor-specific uptake is enhanced, and background signals from normal organs throughout the body are improved, thereby improving imaging contrast and diagnostic accuracy.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugate targeting FAP includes a precursor compound and a radionuclide. The precursor compound has the general structural formula TBLY, where T is a cyclic peptide targeting fibroblast activation protein, B is a cycloaddition product group, L is a linker, and Y is a chelating group for complexing the radionuclide.

[0008] The cycloaddition product group is formed by a bioorthogonal reaction between a bioorthogonal group attached to a fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide and a complementary reactive group attached to a linker.

[0009] In this technical solution, the cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugate targeting FAP comprises two parts: a precursor compound and a radionuclide. Specifically, the chelating group Y in the general structural formula TBLY of the precursor compound is linked to the fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide T via a linker L and a cycloaddition product group B. The chelating group Y forms a stable six- or eight-coordinate chelate complex with the radionuclide through a coordination complexation reaction.

[0010] Depending on the radionuclide it chelates with, FAP-targeting cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugates can be used for tumor imaging diagnosis or treatment. For example, in one or more embodiments, the radionuclide may be used for diagnostic imaging. 68 Ga、 89 Zr、 64 Cu、 124 Class I radionuclides. For example, in one or more embodiments, the radionuclide may be used for antitumor therapy. 177 Lu、 90 Y、 225 Ac and other radionuclides. In some preferred embodiments, the radioactivity can be selected based on diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. 68 Ga / 177 Lu、 68 Ga / 225 Ac、 89 Zr / 177 Lu、 89 Zr / 225 Ac and other diagnostic and treatment options are available.

[0011] In this technical solution, the chelating group can be any existing chelating group. In one or more embodiments, the chelating group can be a macrocyclic chelating agent such as DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid), NOTA (1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid), NODAGA (1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid-glutaric acid), PCTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacycloundecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid), Macropa, PYTA, TETA (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1,4,8,11-tetraacetic acid), and DOTMA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid tetramethyl derivative). In some embodiments, the chelating group may also be some non-macrocyclic chelating agents, such as linear aminocarboxylic acid complexing agent DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid), HBED-CC (N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid), bicyclic [3.3.1]nonane chelating agent Bispidine, octate chelating agent HOPO, trihydroxyoxime acid iron chelating agent DFO, trihydroxyphosphonopropionic acid chelating agent TRAP, etc.

[0012] In this technical solution, the fibroblast activation protein-targeting cyclic peptide T in the precursor compound is similar to the binding cyclic peptide of the existing FAP2286, both having a cyclic peptide backbone. The difference lies in the presence of a bioorthogonal group on the fibroblast activation protein-targeting cyclic peptide prior to its linker connection. This bioorthogonal group directly or indirectly anchors a pair of cysteine ​​residues in the cyclic peptide backbone as the sole chemical anchor. This not only stabilizes the cyclic peptide backbone, enabling the fibroblast activation protein-targeting cyclic peptide to bind with the active pocket of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) with a high affinity (Kd value at the nanomolar level), but more importantly, the bioorthogonal group, as a reaction site, can assemble with complementary reactive groups linked to the linker through a bioorthogonal reaction to form a complete precursor compound. This bioorthogonal reaction, through site-specific modification, effectively avoids product heterogeneity caused by spontaneous coupling, and offers rapid reaction rates and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, this strategy greatly enriches the modification strategies for precursor compounds, allowing for the regulation of the overall physicochemical properties of the conjugate molecule by altering and screening linker parameters. This reduces non-specific uptake by normal organs throughout the body, improves the tumor / background ratio, and achieves clearer imaging contrast and higher diagnostic accuracy.

[0013] In this technical solution, the linker is not merely a spacer between the chelating group and the fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide, but a crucial component capable of actively regulating the overall performance of the conjugate. By selecting an appropriate linker, the physicochemical properties of the conjugate can be adjusted. For example, using a PEG chain as the linker can increase the hydrophilicity of the conjugate through its hydration effect, reduce non-specific adsorption of plasma proteins, and also reduce uptake by the reticuloendothelial system in organs such as the liver and spleen through a shielding effect, thereby improving the background signal of normal organs throughout the body. Simultaneously, by attaching complementary reactive groups that match the bioorthogonal groups to the linker, the linker can be rapidly and accurately linked to the fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide, achieving the assembly of the conjugate.

[0014] In this technical solution, the bioorthogonal group of the fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide matches the complementary reactive group on the linker, thereby enabling the formation of a cycloaddition product group through a bioorthogonal reaction. Depending on the type of bioorthogonal reaction, the cycloaddition product group can be of various types. For example, the bioorthogonal group can be a tetrazine group, and its complementary group can be a dienophile; the two react via an inverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder reaction (iEDDA) to obtain a pyridazine cycloaddition product group. Another example is that the bioorthogonal group can be an azide group, and its complementary group can be a terminal alkyne compound; the two react via a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) to obtain a triazole cycloaddition product group.

[0015] In this technical solution, the cycloaddition product group can further adjust the physicochemical properties of the conjugate. Specifically, the rigid covalent linkage structure of the cycloaddition product can regulate the conformation of adjacent linkers and ensure that the cyclic peptide and FAP bind in an ideal spatial orientation to enhance tumor targeting. Simultaneously, it forms a metabolic barrier to delay protease degradation, prolonging the circulating half-life and tumor retention time. Furthermore, the cycloaddition product group retains highly water-soluble metabolic fragments after degradation, thus allowing for rapid excretion via renal metabolism and urine. In addition, the strong dipole moment of the cycloaddition product group, such as triazole, can enhance the water and shielding effects of linkers like PEG chains, reducing plasma protein adsorption and non-specific uptake, while moderate π-π stacking optimizes hydrophobic balance and improves tumor extravasation efficiency.

[0016] In some preferred embodiments, the FAP-targeting cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugate has the following structural formula:

[0017]

[0018] In the formula, the substituent R2 modifies the N-terminus of the cyclic peptide with different polarities and can be selected from C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 acyl, or sulfonyl groups; Y' is a chelating group containing a radionuclide. It can be seen that a pair of cysteine ​​residues of the fibroblast activation protein targeting the cyclic peptide are linked to the cycloaddition product group via a thiol ether bond. The latter is then linked to the chelating group via a linker, and the desired radionuclide is chelated through the chelating group. When a different radionuclide is needed, a switch from diagnosis to treatment can be achieved without re-optimizing the molecular structure.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bioorthogonal group is a tetrazine group, and the complementary reactive group of the tetrazine group is a dienophile or an isonitrile group; or the bioorthogonal group is an azide group, and the complementary reactive group of the azide group is a terminal alkyne compound or a cyclic alkyne compound.

[0020] In this technical solution, the bioorthogonal group can be a tetrazine group, and the corresponding complementary reactive group can be a dienophile. The tetrazine group and the dienophile form a cycloaddition product through a Diels-Alder reaction with reverse electron demand. For example, the dienophile can be bicyclic [6.1.0]nonyne (BCN), and the two react to obtain a pyridazine cycloaddition reactive group. In one or more embodiments, the dienophile can also be selected from other diens capable of undergoing bioorthogonal reactions with the tetrazine group, such as trans-cyclooctene (TCO), norbornene, cyclopropene, etc. When the bioorthogonal group is a tetrazine group, the corresponding complementary group can also be an isonitrile group. The isonitrile group and the tetrazine group form a pyrazole cycloaddition product through a [4+1] cycloaddition reaction. In some preferred embodiments, the linker connected to the isonitrile group has the structure shown in Formula IV:

[0021] Formula IV: ;

[0022] In Formula IV, the group R3 is selected from H or C1~C6 alkyl groups.

[0023] In this technical solution, the bioorthogonal group can also be an azide group indirectly linked to the S of the cyclic peptide, and its corresponding complementary reactive group can be a terminal alkynyl compound. A CuAAC reaction between the azide group and the terminal alkynyl compound yields a triazole cycloaddition product. Alternatively, the complementary reactive group can also be a cyclic alkynyl compound, such as dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO). A strain-promoted azido-alkynyl cycloaddition reaction (SPAAC) between the azide group and the cyclic alkynyl compound yields a triazole cycloaddition product.

[0024] Furthermore, the fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide with a bioorthogonal group has the following structural formula:

[0025] Formula I: ;

[0026] Formula II: ;

[0027] In Formula I, group R1 is selected from H, C1~C6 alkyl or phenyl; in Formula I or Formula II, group R2 is selected from C1~C6 alkyl, C1~C6 acyl or sulfonyl.

[0028] In this technical solution, based on the different biological orthogonal groups, the fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide preferably has the structure of Formula I or Formula II.

[0029] In the structural formula shown in Formula I, the bioorthogonal group is a tetrazine group. The tetrazine group serves as the reaction site for the bioorthogonal reaction and also constitutes the backbone of the FAP-targeting cyclic peptide. Group R1 can be H or a C1-C6 alkyl group, such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, etc.; group R1 can also be a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, preferably an unsubstituted phenyl group. In the structural formula shown in Formula II, the bioorthogonal group is an azide group. The benzene ring attached to the azide group constitutes the backbone of the FAP-targeting cyclic peptide, while the azide group itself serves as the reaction site for the bioorthogonal reaction.

[0030] In some preferred embodiments, the structural formula of Formula I is used as a fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide with a bioorthogonal group.

[0031] Furthermore, the linker is selected from one or more polyethylene glycol units, C1~C1. 12 Alkylene, or divalent glucose.

[0032] In this technical solution, the physicochemical properties of the conjugate can be adjusted by selecting different linkers. In some embodiments, the linker can be one or more polyethylene glycol units, i.e., PEG chains. PEG chains are hydrophilic flexible chains that, by increasing the hydration radius and reducing plasma protein adsorption, adjust the drug from rapid renal clearance to moderately prolonged circulation without excessive accumulation, thereby increasing the cumulative tumor exposure dose. Simultaneously, the hydrophilic shielding layer of the PEG chain inhibits capture by the hepatic and splenic reticuloendothelial systems, the neutral charge avoids charge-mediated reabsorption in the renal tubules, and the metabolites maintain high water solubility for rapid excretion.

[0033] In one or more embodiments, the PEG chain In the n=1~12. In some preferred embodiments, n=4~8. By adjusting the appropriate PEG chain length, not only can the steric hindrance and decreased affinity caused by excessively short PEG chains be avoided, but the delay in normal tissue clearance caused by excessively long PEG chains can also be prevented.

[0034] In this technical solution, in addition to the PEG chain, the linker can also be selected as a hydrophobic alkylene chain. In one or more embodiments, the linker can be C1~C1. 12 Alkylene. In some embodiments, the linker may be methylene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, pentylene, or hexylene. Alternatively, the linker may be a hydrophilic rigid sugar ring, such as a divalent glucose stalk. In one or more embodiments, the linker may be glucose-1,6-diyl or glucose-1,4-diyl.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the precursor compound is selected from the following structural formulas:

[0036] ,

[0037] ,

[0038] ,

[0039] ;

[0040] In the formula, group R1 is selected from H, C1~C6 alkyl or phenyl; group R2 is selected from C1~C6 alkyl, C1~C6 acyl or sulfonyl; group R3 is selected from H or C1~C6 alkyl.

[0041] Furthermore, the precursor compound is selected from the following structural formulas:

[0042] ,

[0043] ,

[0048] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing any of the aforementioned cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugates targeting FAP, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0049] The fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide shown in Formula I undergoes an anti-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction or a [4+1] cycloaddition reaction with a linker connected to a first complementary reactive group and a chelating group to obtain a precursor compound, wherein the first complementary reactive group is a dienophile or an isonitrile group; or

[0050] The fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide shown in Formula II undergoes a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with a linker connected to a second complementary reactive group and a chelating group to obtain a precursor compound, wherein the second complementary reactive group is a terminal alkyne compound or a cyclic alkyne compound.

[0051] The precursor compound undergoes a coordination complexation reaction with a radionuclide to prepare the cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugate targeting FAP.

[0052] Formula I: ;

[0053] Formula II: ;

[0054] In Formula I, group R1 is selected from H, C1~C6 alkyl or phenyl; in Formula I or Formula II, group R2 is selected from C1~C6 alkyl, C1~C6 acyl or sulfonyl.

[0055] Furthermore, the polypeptide represented by Formula III and dienetetrazine compounds The reaction yields the fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide shown in Formula I; or

[0056] The polypeptide shown in Formula III was reacted with 1,1'-[5-(azidomethyl)-1,3-phenylene]bis(2-iodoethane-1-one) to prepare the fibroblast activation protein targeting cyclic peptide shown in Formula II.

[0057] Formula III: .

[0058] This invention also provides a tumor imaging agent, which employs any of the aforementioned cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugates targeting FAP. This is achieved by loading a diagnostic imaging agent... 68 Ga、 89 Zr、 64 Cu、 124 Radionuclides such as I, and their conjugates, can be used to prepare tumor imaging agents.

[0059] This invention also provides an antitumor drug that employs any of the aforementioned cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugates targeting FAP. This is achieved by incorporating a drug for antitumor therapy. 177 Lu、 90 Y、 225 Radioactive nuclides such as Ac, conjugates of which can be used to prepare antitumor drugs.

[0060] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0061] 1. The FAP-targeting cyclic peptide-bioorthogonal group conjugate of the present invention uses a pair of cysteine ​​residues in the cyclic peptide backbone as the only chemical anchors by using bioorthogonal groups. This not only stabilizes the cyclic peptide backbone by using bioorthogonal groups, enabling the fibroblast activation protein-targeting cyclic peptide to bind to the active pocket of FAP with a high affinity at the nanomolar level, but more importantly, the bioorthogonal groups, as reaction sites, can assemble into complete precursor compounds with complementary reactive groups attached to the linkers through bioorthogonal reactions. Bioorthogonal reactions can effectively avoid product heterogeneity caused by constant coupling through site-specific modification, and have a fast reaction rate and good biocompatibility.

[0062] 2. The cycloaddition product group of the present invention can regulate the conformation of adjacent linkers and enable the cyclic peptide to bind to FAP in an ideal spatial orientation to enhance tumor targeting. Simultaneously, it forms a metabolic barrier to delay protease degradation, prolonging the circulating half-life and tumor retention time. Furthermore, the cycloaddition product group retains highly water-soluble metabolic fragments after degradation, thus allowing it to be metabolized by the kidneys and rapidly excreted in urine.

[0063] 3. This invention greatly enriches the modification strategies for precursor compounds, enabling the regulation of the overall physicochemical properties of conjugate molecules by changing the parameters of the linker and screening the linker parameters. This reduces non-specific uptake by normal organs throughout the body, improves the tumor / background ratio, and achieves clearer imaging contrast and higher diagnostic accuracy.

[0174] II. Performance Testing of FAP-Targeting Cyclic Peptide-Bioorthogonal Group Conjugates

[0175]

Example 7

[0176] In this embodiment, the stability and bioorthogonal kinetics of FAP-targeting cyclic peptide T1 were tested.

[0177] Specifically, 10 μL of FAP-targeting cyclic peptide T1 (20 mM) was dissolved in three 290 μL vials of fetal bovine serum (FBS) and incubated at 37°C for 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours. At each time point, 40 μL of sample was added to 100 μL of acetonitrile, vortexed to precipitate, centrifuged, and 100 μL of the supernatant was collected. The change in the absorption peak area at 254 nm was determined by HPLC. The experiment showed that the sample maintained a retention rate of 85.6% after 48 hours. This indicates that FAP-targeting cyclic peptide T1 has good stability in FBS.

[0178] Subsequently, the second-order rate constant of the bioorthogonal reaction between FAP-targeting cyclic peptide T1 (final concentration 50 μM) and trans-cyclic olefin TCO (final concentration 50 μM) was determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy at 37°C in PBS buffer. The absorbance was measured at specified time intervals, and the concentration of tetrazine was calculated based on the change in absorption peak intensity at 520 nm over time. The k2 value was then determined based on the slope of (1 / c - 1 / c0) over time, where c0 is the concentration of the tetrazine analog at time zero, and c is the corresponding concentration at the specified time. The data were then analyzed, and the k2 value was found to be 981.22 ± 11.2 M. -1 s -1 .

[0179]

Example 8

[0180] In this embodiment, the affinity of two precursor compounds, P1 and P2, for human FAP protein (hFAP) was tested.

[0181] FAP protein was diluted to 0.4 μg / mL using assay buffer (25 mM Tris, 250 mM NaCl, pH 7.4). The substrate Gly-Pro-AMC was diluted to 40 μM using assay buffer. The test samples were serially diluted with assay buffer to 40 μM, 4 μM, 400 nM, 40 nM, 4 nM, 400 pM, 40 pM, and 4 pM. Then, equal volumes (25 μL) of the inhibitor and substrate Gly-Pro-AMC were added sequentially to a 96-well plate, followed by 50 μL of protein solution. After incubation at 37°C for 1 hour, the enzyme activity of hFAP against substrate Z-Gly-Pro-AMC was measured using a microplate reader under the following conditions: excitation wavelength 360 nm, emission wavelength 465 nm. Figure 6 As shown, precursor compounds P1 (F2286b-DOTA) and P2 (F2286n-DOTA) both exhibited nM-level inhibitory effects on the hFAP target, demonstrating that the tetrazine-based precursor compounds retained the high affinity for FAP-2286. Furthermore, the addition of a PEG chain as a linker further increased the hydrophilicity of precursor compounds P1 and P2, which is beneficial for reducing the accumulation of FAP-2286 in non-target organs.

[0182]

Example 9

[0183] In this embodiment, the following tests were conducted. 68 Ga-F2286b-DOTA and 68 Performance of Ga-F2286n-DOTA in animal PET / CT imaging experiments.

[0184] Specifically, HEK293-FAP cells were seeded in the axilla of the right forelimb of BALB / c nu / nu mice and housed in an SPF-grade animal facility for approximately 1-2 weeks. The tumor mass was approximately 200-300 mm in size. 3 Approximately 100 µL of a dose of approximately 160 µCi was administered via tail vein injection. 68 Ga-F2286b-DOTA, 68 Ga-F2286n-DOTA and 68 Ga-FAP-2286 (comparative example) is a highly radiochemically pure drug (radiochemical purity >95%).

[0185] The test results are as follows Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in HEK293-FAP model mice overexpressing FAP, 68Ga-F2286b-DOTA and 68Ga-F2286n-DOTA achieved high signal-to-noise ratio imaging results. Compared with 68Ga-FAP2286, 68Ga-F2286n-DOTA showed higher tumor uptake and better tumor targeting, while 68Ga-F2286b-DOTA also exhibited good tumor uptake.

[0186] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, both 68Ga-F2286b-DOTA and 68Ga-F2286n-DOTA exhibited low nonspecific accumulation in normal tissues, particularly in the gallbladder and intestines, where accumulation was significantly lower than that of the current 68Ga-FAP2286, which is beneficial in reducing radiation damage to non-target organs. Furthermore, the higher accumulation in the kidneys reflects the easier metabolism of 68Ga-F2286b-DOTA and 68Ga-F2286n-DOTA by the kidneys. This is partly due to the ease with which the cyclic peptide structure based on bioorthogonal groups is metabolized in the kidneys, and partly due to the significant increase in hydrophilicity of the conjugates due to the modification of the PEG chain.

[0187] In this embodiment, testing was also performed. 64 Cu-F2286b-NOTA and 64 Performance of Cu-F2286b-C2-NOTA in animal PET / CT imaging experiments.

[0188] Specifically, HEK293-FAP cells were seeded in the axilla of the right forelimb of BALB / c nu / nu mice and housed in an SPF-grade animal facility for approximately 1-2 weeks. The tumor mass was approximately 200-300 mm in size. 3 Approximately 100 µL of a dose of approximately 200 µCi was administered via tail vein injection. 64 Cu-F2286b-NOTA is a highly radiochemically pure reagent (radiochemical purity >95%). Imaging was performed at 1, 3, 12, 24, and 40 hours.

[0189] Similarly, HEK293-FAP cells were seeded in the axilla of the right forelimb of BALB / c nu / nu mice and housed in an SPF-grade animal facility for approximately 1–2 weeks. The tumor mass was approximately 200–300 mm in size. 3 Approximately 100 µL of a dose of approximately 190 µCi was administered via tail vein injection. 64 Cu-F2286b-C2-NOTA is a highly radiochemically pure reagent (radiochemical purity >95%). Imaging was performed at 1, 3, 12, 24, and 40 hours.

[0190] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown,64 Cu-F2286b-NOTA and 64 Both Cu-F2286b-C2-NOTA exhibit excellent tumor uptake and tumor targeting, enabling stable, accurate, and clear imaging of tumors within 24 hours, and completing metabolism within approximately 40 hours.

[0191]

Example 10

[0192] In this embodiment, the following tests were conducted. 68 Ga-F2286b-DOTA and 68 The hydrophilicity of Ga-F2286n-DOTA.

[0193] Specifically, the partition coefficient (logP) of each radiotracer was measured in octanol and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to assess the lipophilicity of the radioligands. 50 μL of radiotracer was added to 450 μL of PBS, followed by 500 μL of octanol. The mixture was thoroughly shaken at room temperature and centrifuged at 3000 rcf for 2 minutes. Subsequently, 50 μL of each layer was taken, and the radioactivity was measured using a gamma counter. The partition coefficient logP was determined by the following formula: logP = Log [(γ-count in octanol) / (γ-count in PBS)].

[0194] The experimental results are shown in Table 1, indicating that... 68 Ga-F2286b-DOTA and 68 Ga-F2286n-DOTA has compared to 68 Ga-FAP-2286 has better hydrophilicity.
