Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] 1. Background The present disclosure is directed to novel fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitors, including radiotracers, and conjugates comprising the novel FAP inhibitors, for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions characterized by the expression of FAP. [Background technology]

[0002] In nuclear medicine, radiotracers are used in the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions and diseases. A radiotracer is a compound in which a radionuclide is linked to a targeting moiety that targets specific organs, cells, or biomarkers in the human body.

[0003] Radiotracers involve the use of targeting moieties that selectively localize to malignant cells, tumors, or their associated microenvironment, and the use of low-range, highly ionizing radiation, e.g., α or β - Radionuclides selected to emit particles and Auger electrons can be used in targeted radionuclide therapy. The combination of disease diagnosis and treatment, utilizing the same or similar biological targeting moieties to target specific biomarkers (e.g., cell surface receptors) with different diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides, is called targeted theranostics. This approach overcomes the difficulty of quantifying the individual doses required for treatment through diagnosis, allowing for highly personalized patient treatment. The theranostics approach utilizes isotopically distinct radiotracers that bind identically to biomarkers, and thus utilizes radionuclides of the same element, such as copper radionuclides as positron emitters in diagnostic imaging. 60 Cu, 61 Cu, 62 Cu and 64 Cu and β in radiation therapy - As an emitter 67 Further improvement is achieved using Cu.

[0004] FAP is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on activated fibroblasts (e.g., cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs)) and is a major component of the tumor microenvironment. Structurally, FAP is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of 760 amino acids. FAP is a serine protease and, unlike other members of the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) family, possesses both endopeptidase and exopeptidase activities, which enable FAP to cleave gelatin and type I collagen, thereby playing an important role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. FAP-expressing CAFs are found in various neoplasms, particularly epithelial cancers, and in malignant tumors with strong desmoplastic responses, such as breast, colorectal, pancreatic, and lung cancers. Overall, high FAP expression is associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis (Cohen, SJ; Alpaugh, RK; Palazzo, I.; Meropol, NJ; Rogatko, A.; Xu, Z.; Hoffman, JP; Weiner, LM; Cheng, JD "Fibroblast Activation Protein and Its Relationship to Clinical Outcome in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma." Pancreas 2008, 37, 154-158). The minimal expression of FAP in normal healthy adult tissues makes it an attractive target for oncological imaging and therapy (Lindner, T.; Loktev, A.; Giesel, F.; Kratochwil, C.; Altmann, A.; Haberkorn, U "Targeting of Activated Fibroblasts for Imaging and Therapy." "Fibroblasts for Imaging and Therapy)" EJNMMI Radiopharm.Chem.2019,4,16.).

[0005] FAP overexpression was targeted by small molecule FAP inhibitors (also known as "FAPIs") with an N-(4-quinolinoyl)-Gly-(2-cyanopyrrolidine) scaffold, initially developed at the University of Antwerp (Hansen, K.; Heirbaut, L.; Cheng, J.D.; Joossens, J.; Ryabtsova, O.; Cos, P.; Maes, L.; Lambeir, A.-M.; De Meester, I.; Augustyns, K.; et al. "Selective Inhibitors of Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) with a (4-Quinolinoyl)-Glycyl-2-Cyanopyrrolidine Scaffold," ACS). Med. Chem. Lett. 2013, 4, 491-496; Jansen, K.; Heirbaut, L.; Verkerk, R.; Cheng, JD; Joossens, J.; Cos, P.; Maes, L.; Lambeir, A.-M.; De Meester, I.; Augustyns, K.; et al. "Extended Structure-Activity Relationship and Pharmacokinetic Investigation of (4-Quinolinoyl)Glycyl-2-Cyanopyrrolidine Inhibitors of Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP)" J. Med. Chem. 2014, 57, 3053-3074. By modifying this structure, we developed FAPI-01 and FAPI-02 as the first quinoline-based FAPIs, respectively. 125 I and 68 Ga / 177Further attempts to improve tumor retention led to the development of FAPI-46 (Loktev, A.; Lindner, T.; Burger, E.-M.; Altmann, A.; Giesel, F.; Kratochwil, C.; Debus, J.; Marme, F.; Jager, D.; Mier, W.; et al., "Development of Fibroblast Activation Protein-Targeted Radiotracers with Improved Tumor Retention," J. Nucl. Med. 2019, 60, 1421-1429). International Publication No. WO 2019 / 154886 describes FAP inhibitors, FAP inhibitor-chelator constructs, and radiolabeled FAP inhibitor-chelator constructs that are useful for diagnosing or treating diseases characterized by FAP overexpression (e.g., cancer).

[0006] Because FAP overexpression is not limited to CAFs, the use of FAP inhibitors in combination with positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) may find application in a wide range of non-oncological pathological conditions, such as inflammatory, infectious, and immune disorders. FAP overexpression has also been associated with cardiovascular disease, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, joint disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), IgG4-related disease, pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung disease, Crohn's disease, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and periprosthetic joint infections (Chandekar, KR; Prashanth, A.; Vinjamuri, S.; Kumar, R. FAP, "PET / CT Imaging—An Updated Review," Diagnostics 2023, 13, 2018).

[0007] The availability of a large portfolio of FAP inhibitors and radiotracers is essential for the development of nuclear medicine.

[0008] Accordingly, it is an object of the present disclosure to provide compounds, compositions and methods that completely or partially overcome one or more of the problems identified in the prior art involving FAP inhibitors; conjugates comprising FAP inhibitors (including pharmaceuticals and radiotracers); and uses thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0044] 4. Detailed Description 1.Definition When describing embodiments of the present disclosure, which may include compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, and methods of using such compounds and compositions, the following terms, when present, have the following meanings unless otherwise indicated.

[0045] Generally, terms used in this specification, and particularly in the appended claims (e.g., the body of the appended claims), are generally intended as "non-limiting" terms (e.g., the term "including" should be interpreted as "including, but not limited to," the term "having" should be interpreted as "having at least," and the term "includes" should be interpreted as "including, but not limited to"). Where a specific number of introduced claim recitations are intended, such intention will be explicitly set forth in the claim; in the absence of such recitation, it will be further understood by those skilled in the art that no such intention exists. For example, to aid in understanding, the following appended claims may include the use of the introductory phrases "at least one" and "one or more" to introduce the claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be interpreted as meaning that the introduction of a claim recitation with the indefinite article "a" or "an" limits any particular claim that includes such an introduced claim recitation to embodiments that include only one such recitation, even if the same claim includes the introductory phrase "one or more" or "at least one" and an indefinite article such as "a" or "an" (e.g., "a" and / or "an" should be interpreted to mean "at least one" or "one or more"). The same applies to the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. Moreover, even when a specific number of introduced claim recitations is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., a plain recitation of "two recitations" without any other modifiers means at least two recitations, or more than two recitations).Furthermore, when a convention similar to "at least one of A, B, and C, etc." is used, generally such a configuration is intended in the sense that one of ordinary skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" includes, but is not limited to, systems having A only, B only, C only, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and / or A, B, and C together, etc.). When a convention similar to "at least one of A, B, or C, etc." is used, generally such a configuration is intended in the sense that one of ordinary skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" includes, but is not limited to, systems having A only, B only, C only, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and / or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those skilled in the art that virtually any disjunctive word and / or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the specification, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibility of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase "A or B" is understood to include the possibilities of "A or B" or "A and B."

Any recited range can be readily recognized as fully descriptive and permitting division of the same range into at least equal halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, tenths, etc. As a non-limiting example, each range recited herein can be readily divided into a lower third, middle third, upper third, etc. Also, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, all language such as "up to," "at least," "greater than," "less than," etc., refers to a range that is inclusive of the recited numbers and can be subsequently divided into subranges as described above. Finally, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, ranges include individual members. Thus, for example, a group having 1 to 3 items refers to a group having 1, 2, or 3 items. Similarly, a group having 1 to 5 items refers to a group having 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 items, etc.

[0050] As used herein, the terms "alkylene," "alkenylene," and "alkynylene" refer to a divalent radical of an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group, respectively. When a range or number of carbons is provided for a particular "alkylene," "alkenylene," or "alkynylene," it is understood that the range or number refers to the range or number of carbons in a linear, divalent carbon chain. "Alkylene," "alkenylene," and "alkynylene" groups can be substituted or unsubstituted with one or more substituents described herein.

[0051] As used herein, the term "aryl" refers to aromatic groups containing 6 to 10 carbons in the ring portion (e.g., monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic structures). Aryl groups may be optionally substituted through available carbon atoms and, in certain embodiments, may contain one or more heteroatoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. In some embodiments, an aryl group has 6 ring carbon atoms ("C6 aryl"; e.g., phenyl). In some embodiments, an aryl group has 10 ring carbon atoms ("C 10 aryl"; for example, naphthyl such as 1-naphthyl and 2-naphthyl).

[0052] As used herein, the terms "chelating moiety" and "chelator" are used interchangeably in the context of this disclosure and refer to a molecule, often an organic molecule, and often a Lewis base, that has two or more unshared electron pairs available for donation to a metal ion. The metal ion is typically coordinated to the chelating moiety by two or more electron pairs. The terms "bidentate chelating moiety," "tridentate chelating moiety," and "tetradentate chelating moiety" refer to chelating moieties that have two, three, and four electron pairs readily available for simultaneous donation to the metal ion coordinated by the chelating moiety, respectively. Typically, the electron pairs of the chelating moiety form coordinate bonds with a single metal ion. However, in certain instances, the chelating moiety may form coordinate bonds with more than one metal ion, allowing for various binding modes.

[0053] With respect to chemical structures involving chelated metals, the depicted structures are not intended to define the coordination sphere. Furthermore, the presence or absence of a proton on the ionizable binding moiety is not intended to be determinative. One skilled in the art can determine the coordination sphere, oxidation state, and degree of ionization, as the case may be.

[0054] As used herein, the terms "effective amount," "pharmaceutical effective amount," or "therapeutically effective amount" refer to a compound or composition in an amount sufficient to provide a desired benefit when administered to a subject. Thus, the term "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of a compound or composition sufficient to promote a particular effect when administered to a subject in need of treatment. In certain embodiments, an effective amount includes an amount of a compound or composition sufficient to prevent or delay the onset of disease symptoms, alter the course of disease symptoms (e.g., but not limited to, slowing the progression of disease symptoms), or reverse disease symptoms. In certain embodiments, an effective amount includes an amount of a compound or composition sufficient to generate an image of a subject. In certain embodiments, an effective amount includes an amount of a compound or composition sufficient to diagnose a disease in a subject. It is understood that for any given case, an appropriate "effective amount" can be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art using routine experimentation. For example, when administered clinically, such a compound or composition contains an amount of active ingredient effective to achieve a desired result (e.g., imaging cancerous tissue and / or reducing the amount of cancerous tissue in a subject).

In heteroaryl groups containing one or more nitrogen atoms, the point of attachment can be a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom, valence permitting. Heteroaryl bicyclic ring systems can contain one or more heteroatoms in one or both rings. "Heteroaryl" includes ring systems in which a heteroaryl ring, as defined above, is fused to one or more carbocyclyl or heterocyclyl groups, and the point of attachment is on the heteroaryl ring; in such cases, the number of ring members continues to designate the number of ring members in the heteroaryl ring system. "Heteroaryl" also includes ring systems in which a heteroaryl ring, as defined above, is fused to one or more aryl groups, and the point of attachment is on either the aryl or heteroaryl ring; in such cases, the number of ring members designates the number of ring members in the fused (aryl / heteroaryl) ring system. For bicyclic heteroaryl groups in which one ring does not contain a heteroatom (e.g., indolyl, quinolinyl, carbazolyl, etc.), the point of attachment can be on either ring, i.e., the ring with a heteroatom (e.g., 2-indolyl) or the ring without a heteroatom (e.g., 5-indolyl).

[0057] As used herein, the term "heterocyclyl" or "heterocyclic" refers to a radical of a 3- to 10-membered non-aromatic ring system having ring carbon atoms and 1 to 4 ring heteroatoms, each independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, boron, phosphorus, and silicon ("3- to 10-membered heterocyclyl"). In heterocyclyl groups containing one or more nitrogen atoms, the point of attachment can be a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom, valence permitting. Heterocyclyl groups can be either monocyclic ("monocyclic heterocyclyl") or fused, bridged, or spiro ring systems, e.g., bicyclic systems ("bicyclic heterocyclyl"), and can be saturated or partially unsaturated. Heterocyclyl bicyclic ring systems can contain one or more heteroatoms in one or both rings. "Heterocyclyl" also includes ring systems in which a heterocyclyl ring, as defined above, is fused to one or more carbocyclyl groups, and the point of attachment is on either the carbocyclyl or the heterocyclyl ring, or in which a heterocyclyl ring, as defined above, is fused to one or more aryl or heteroaryl groups, and the point of attachment is on the heterocyclyl ring, in which case the number of ring members continues to specify the number of ring members in the heterocyclyl ring system. The terms "heterocycle," "heterocyclyl," "heterocyclyl ring," "heterocyclic group," "heterocyclic moiety," and "heterocyclic group" may be used interchangeably.

[0059] As used herein, the term "radioactive moiety" refers to a molecular assembly that carries a radionuclide, the nuclide being attached by a covalent or coordinate bond, or a combination thereof, that remains stable under physiological conditions.

[0060] As used herein, "radioisotope" refers to a radioactive isotope of an element (included in the term "radionuclide") that emits, for example, alpha, beta, and / or gamma radiation.

[0061] As used herein, "radiotracer" refers to a compound of the present disclosure that contains a radionuclide or radioisotope. The radionuclide can be chelated to a chelating moiety that is a covalent component of the radiotracer, or the radionuclide itself can be a covalent component of the radiotracer. As used herein, a compound, e.g., a radiotracer, refers to a compound that contains a particular radioisotope or radionuclide (e.g., 61 When a compound is described as containing Cu), it is understood that the compound is isotopically enriched with that isotope at the indicated position.

[0062] As used herein, the term "substituted," whether preceded by the term "optionally" or not, means that at least one hydrogen present on the group (e.g., a hydrogen bonded to a carbon or nitrogen atom of the group) is replaced with an acceptable substituent, e.g., a substituent that, upon substitution, results in a stable compound, e.g., a compound that does not spontaneously undergo transformation by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, or other reaction. Unless otherwise indicated, a "substituted" group has a substituent at one or more substitutable positions of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure is substituted, the substituent may be the same or different at each position.

[0278] radiochemical purity "Radiochemical purity," as understood herein, is the ratio, given as a percentage, of the radioactivity from the desired radionuclide in a radiopharmaceutical composition (e.g., the desired radionuclide chelated with a radiotracer described herein) to the total radioactivity of the composition containing the radiopharmaceutical. It is important to know that the majority of the radioisotope is bound to the tracer construct and not free or bound to another chemical entity, because these forms may have different biodistributions. Radiochemical purity (RCP) measurements establish the content of impurities labeled with the same radionuclide but in a different chemical form than that used to prepare the radiopharmaceutical. For most radiopharmaceuticals, the lower limit of radiochemical purity is 95%, i.e., at least 95% of the radioisotope must be bound to the ligand. Radiochemical purity determination can be performed by various chromatographic methods.

[0279] Radiochemical purity is determined according to methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as radio-HPLC, iTLC, and / or γ-spectrometry. As understood in the art, the determination of radiochemical purity is not strictly quantitative but is calculated as the ratio of the peak area of ​​the desired radiopharmaceutical to the total area (decay-corrected) of all peaks detected in the radiochromatogram. The instrument used to determine radiochemical purity using HPLC (radio-HPLC) is a radiometric detector (radiodetector) with an in-line detector connected in series with a UV or other physicochemical detector. The radiation detector can be a Geiger-Muller probe, a scintillation detector, or a PIN diode. Compared to radio-HPLC, it has the significant advantage that all applied radioactivity is detected and there are no concerns about recovery.

A platinum wire anode was positioned approximately 1–3 mm from the coin surface using a polymer spacer. The coin mass was determined to be 5.25 grams. The niobium backing (22 mm x 1.0 mm, weighing 3.3 g) was used. The plating solution was added to the electrolyte reservoir and attached to the device. The voltage was set to 4.5 V.

The coin was removed from the electrolytic cell and weighed. Microscopic evaluation of the coin was also performed using a DINOLite digital microscope to observe the surface crystalline structure and uniformity (Figure 16). The coins (Figure 17) were stored in metal-free Falcon tubes under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0358] After electroplating was completed, the coins were subjected to microscopic evaluation using a DINOLite digital microscope to observe the crystalline structure and uniformity of the surface. As can be seen in Figure 16 (panels A-C), a homogeneous target coating with lasting adhesion was obtained.

[0359] 2.High purity [ 61 General guidelines for Cu]Cl2 production The purpose of this example is to identify natural nickel and / or enriched nickel. 60 Deuteron irradiation of Ni to copper-61( 61 The goal of this work was to enable mass production of ZnO (Cu). This work was a proof of concept and therefore 61 There was no benchmark specification for Cu. However, the inventors 60 After Ni irradiation, 61 Cu] to generate CuCl2, or natOptimize target performance, target geometry / material use, irradiation parameters, and chemical processing methods to scale for Ni irradiation. While no clear pharmacopoeial specifications exist for radioactive copper, test QC methods were developed based on the extracted [ 61 Cu]CuCl2) including assessment of radionuclide purity and apparent molar activity.

[0360] In this example, two different types of targets, natural nickel ( nat Ni) target and highly enriched nickel-60 ( 60 Ni) targets, both of which were suitable for deuteron bombardment, except that nat Ni was cost-effective and available in high purity, 60 Ni remains expensive and requires efficient means. If even higher yields are desired, target preparation efforts should focus on proton-based 61 Ni(p,n) 61 Although it can be directly converted to Cu pathway, enrichment 61 Considering the cost of Ni (approximately US$25 / mg), such an approach imposes the need for targeted recycling.

[0361] The following set of guidelines provides a method for obtaining high purity [Nb from Nb coins having Zn or Ni (optionally isotopically enriched) coatings electroplated thereon as provided herein. 61 Cu]CuCl2, 61 This protocol allows for the production of Cu targets of all types. Specific details are also provided for deuteron and proton irradiation, respectively. Following this protocol, the [ 61 Cu]Cl2 composition was produced. [Table 10-1] [Table 10-2] [Table 10-3] [Table 10-4] [Table 10-5]

[0362] [ 61 Purification and Characterization of Cu]CuCl2 and Waste Streams The solid target irradiation material was dissolved in a total volume of 7 mL of 6 M HCl with the addition of 30% hydrogen peroxide via a dissolution chamber.

[0363] Separation and purification were achieved using a cassette-based FASTlab platform using TBP (tributyl phosphate-based) resin (1 mL) (particle size 50-100 μm; pre-packed, Triske) and then weakly basic (tertiary amine; TK201) resin (2 mL) (particle size 50-100 μm; pre-packed, Triske) pre-conditioned with HO (7 mL) and HCl (10 M, 7 mL), respectively. Cassette reagent vials were prepared using concentrated HCl (Optima grade, Fisher Scientific), NaCl (ACS, Fisher Scientific), and Milli-Q water (Millipore system, 18 MΩ cm resistivity). 6 M HCl (2 × 4.2 mL), 0.05 M HCl with 5 M NaCl (4.2 mL), and then subsequent 61 Cu was purified on two subsequent ion exchange resins in the FASTlab synthesis unit. 1) The acid-adjusted dissolution solution (approximately 7 mL) was loaded onto both columns in series and directed to the "Ni collection fraction." The TBP resin retained the Fe 3+ It acts as a guard column by quantitatively retaining ions, and Cu 2+ and Co 2+ The complex was quantitatively retained on a tertiary amine (TK201) resin. 2) To maximize Ni recovery for future recycle, both columns were washed with 6 M HCl (4 mL). 3) The TK201 column was washed with 4.5 M HCl (5.5 mL) to elute most of the cobalt salts. 4) The TK201 column was washed with 5M NaCl in 0.05M HCl (4 mL) to reduce residual acid on the resin and further remove residual cobalt salts. 5) Wash the TK201 column with 0.05 M HCl (3 mL) and 61 Cu]CuCl2 was quantitatively eluted.

[0364] The obtained plating material [ 61 The [Cu]CuCl solutions had an average radioactivity of 1.0–4.5 GBq (Figure 20). This radioactivity was measured using a Comecer dose calibrator, and its radionuclide purity was determined by a PSI (Switzerland) gamma spectrometer (Figure 22).

[0365] Gamma spectroscopy measurements were performed to identify any radionuclides, particularly long-lived radionuclides. These results demonstrate that the niobium backing material is more sensitive to the ion beam radiation than the silver backing material when utilizing the methods disclosed herein. nat Ni and 61 The results show an 89.3% and 94% reduction in Ni impurities (Figures 20 and 21). ICP-MS measurements were performed on the non-radioactive lysate product by Labor Veritas (Switzerland) to monitor the elemental impurities present in the product according to ICH-Q3D (Figure 23). All detected impurities were within the regulated ICH-Q3D concentrations (see ICH-Q3D Guidelines, pg 25).

[0366] Highly enriched 61 Ni plating is also achieved by proton irradiation (typically 80 μA to 100 μA, 13 MeV protons, 1 to 2 hours, and 61 Higher yields and industrial production using Cu (up to one half-life of Cu) were possible with the same plating parameters as above.

[0370] Radioactive cobalt content Table 5 shows nat The radioactivity of the cobalt radioisotope in the different fractions after FASTlab purification is included as an average of three measurements (n = 3 irradiations) using a Ni / Nb target coin. The radioactivity was extrapolated to 3 hours, 50 μA beam, EoB (end of bombardment) + 2 hours. 61 The radioactivity of Cu]CuCl2 was experimentally determined and found to be approximately 80% of the estimate based on TENDL-2019.

[0376] Assuming a product expiration time of 8 hours after EoB, less than 0.03% of non-Cu radioisotopes ( 56 Co and 58 Co) would remain in the copper fraction. This value was lower than the permissible limit for Ga-68 cyclotron production as found in the Pharmacopoeia (0.1% at expiry for non-Ga radioisotopes):

[0377] nat Derived from Ni irradiation 64 Cu (approximately 5% content at expiration) is the main impurity, and it is found to be more resistant to longer exposure times or shelf life. 61 Cu reduces the radioisotopic purity of the product (shown as the grey curve in Figure 19).

[0379] Assuming a product expiration time of 8 hours after EoB, less than 0.01% of non-Cu radioisotopes ( 56 Co and 58 Co) remained in the Cu fraction. This value is found in the Pharmacopoeia 68 This was 10 times lower than the limit allowed for Ga cyclotron production (0.1%* at expiration for non-Ga radioisotopes).

[0380] Copper fraction less than 0.02% at 8 hours expiration time after EoB 64 Cu remains, 68 This was 100 times lower than the specifications required for Ga ( 68 2% Ga radioisotope was allowed for Ga).

[0381] Generated from Ni / Nb target coins 61 Purity of Cu]CuCl2: Comparison with commercially available radionuclides Table 9 compares the regulatory specifications for purity of commercially available radionuclides for natNi / Nb and enriched Ni / Nb after FASTlab purification. 60 High purity [ 61 Cu]CuCl2. [Table 15]

[0382] The first notable comparison is the 68 Cyclotron production of Ga also produces long-lived radionuclides (see, for example, Applied Radiation and Isotopes 65(10), 1101-1107, IAEA-TECDOC-1863 Gallium-68 Cyclotron Production), especially 66 Zn(p,pn) 65 from Zn decay 65 Zn (half-life = 244 days) is produced. 68 Approximately 0.365% of the Zn starting target metal 66 Zn, about 770 Bq 65 Zn is produced from a 50 μA, 3-hour beam with an energy of 13 MeV in a thick target (TENDL-2019 based calculations). 66 Using natural Zn with an abundance of 27.7% in Zn, 58 kBq 65 Zn is produced in a single 3-hour beam run at 50 μA. Therefore, the isotopic purity of Zn in the target metal is very important.

[0383] [ 61 Similar to the formation of Cu]CuCl2, [ 64 Cyclotron production of Cu]CuCl2 also involves long-lived cobalt radionuclides, i.e.55 Co, 57 Co, 58 Co and 60 Co is produced (see, for example, Nuclear Medicine & Biology, Vol. 24, pp. 35-43, 1997, "Applied Radiation and Isotopes" 68 (2010) 5-13). By operating with a depleted beam of less than 13 MeV, ( 64 Ni(p,na) 60 (from Co) 60 Co was reduced to 1 Bq per 50 μA, 3-hour run. For beam energies below 13 MeV, 58 Ni(p,a) 55 Co formed from the reaction 55 Co remains the main impurity (half-life = 17.53 hours). 57 The 170 Bq of Co is mostly 60 Ni(p,a) 57 Co was formed at about 170 Bq under these conditions.

[0384] Note: These estimates are based on the TENDL-2019 cross-sectional data and enrichment data, as follows: 64 Calculated from thick target yield using Ni isotopic abundance: 0.00376% 58 Ni, 0.00298% 60 Ni, 0.0058% 61 Ni, 0.135% 62 Ni, 99.858% 64 Ni).

[0385] 5. Conclusion Generated after deuteron irradiation 61 The experimental activity of Cu is approximately 80% of the theoretical yield calculated from the TENDL-2019 cross-sectional data.

[0386] 61 The main long-lived nuclides in the radioactive waste fraction from the cyclotron production of Cu are 56 Co, 57 Co, 58 Co and 60Co is a radioactive cobalt species. 56 Co, 57 Co and 58 Co was calculated to have decayed below the regulatory clearance limit (LL*), 60 leaving only Co. *Clearance limit (LL) means the value corresponding to the specific activity level of a material at which the handling of this material is no longer subject to mandatory authorization or supervision.

[0387] 99% enrichment 60 Ni or 61 The target coin with Ni is 61 The yield and purity of the Cu product were improved. Using these targets, 61 The extrapolated purity of Cu is 64 It is higher because Cu is not formed as a radioisotopic impurity. 56 Co and 60 The Co content was reduced by 100 times. 57 The amount of Co increased (but the radioactivity was low), 58 The amount of Co increased (however, 56 Co / 58 decays below LL before Co).

[0388] Example 5: Radioactive label [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-1 and [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-3 An aliquot of the conjugate (3–6 nmol, 1 mg / mL in water) was diluted with 0.25–0.30 mL of ammonium (or sodium) acetate (0.5 M pH 8), followed by 0.1–0.7 mL of [ 61Cu]CuCl2 was added (70-240 MBq). The reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature (approximately 20-25 °C) for 15 minutes. The pH of the reaction mixture was 5-6. Quality control was performed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) connected to a radio-detector (radio-HPLC). A Phenomenex Jupiter Proteo C12 (90 Å, 250 × 4.6 mm) column was used, with a gradient of 15-80% B in 8 minutes (A = HO [0.1% TFA], B = ACN [0.1% TFA]), at a flow rate of 1 mL / min. The radio-HPLC results are shown in Table 10 below.

[0389] [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-2 and [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-4 61 Preparation of Cu-labeled conjugates involves dissolving 1.5–3 nmol of the corresponding conjugate (as a 1 mg / mL solution) in 125–300 μL of ammonium acetate (0.5 M, pH 8) in 50–200 μL of [ 61 The reaction was performed by incubation with [Cu]CuCl2 (33–70 MBq). A pH check was performed to ensure the necessary conditions for the reaction (pH ≥ 5). The reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature for 10 min. Quality control and stability testing were performed by radio-HPLC on a Shimadzu SCL-40 connected to a GABI radioactivity-HPLC-flow monitor γ-spectrometer (Elysia raytest, Straubenhardt, Germany). Analysis of the radioligand was performed using a Phenomenex Jupiter Proteo C12 (90 Å, 250 × 4.6 mm) column with a gradient of 15–80% B over 8 min (A = HO [0.1% TFA], B = ACN [0.1% TFA]) at a flow rate of 1 mL / min. The results are shown in Table 10. [Table 16]

[0390] All conjugates were obtained in very high yields and purity. 61 Labeled with Cu. Uncomplexed61 No further purification steps were required to remove Cu from the reaction mixture, allowing direct use of the formed radiotracer.

[0391] Example 6: Partition coefficient (Log D) The lipophilicity / hydrophilicity of the radioactive tracer was assessed by determining the partition coefficient (D) between the aqueous and organic phases according to the "shake flask" method and expressed as log D (pH = 7.4). A pre-saturated mixture of 500 μL of 1-octanol and 500 μL of PBS pH 7.4 (phosphate-buffered saline) was added to a pre-lubricated Eppendorf tube. A 10 μL aliquot of 10 pmol of radioligand was added to this mixture, shaken for 30 min, and then centrifuged at 3,000 rcf for 10 min to achieve phase separation. 100 μL aliquots were removed from the 1-octanol and PBS phases, and the radioactivity was measured in a γ-counter. The partition coefficient was calculated as the average log ratio of the radioactivity in the organic and PBS fractions. The results are shown in Table 11 and Figure 1. [Table 17] Results are means ± standard deviations from at least two separate experiments, each in triplicate.

[0392] Example 7: In vitro hFAP inhibition assay The enzymatic activity of hFAP on the substrate Z-Gly-Pro-AMC was measured at room temperature in a microtiter plate reader, monitoring fluorescence at an excitation wavelength of 360 nm and an emission wavelength of 465 nm. The assay was performed by mixing substrate (20 μM), hFAP (200 pM, constant), and inhibitor in assay buffer (50 mM Tris, 1 M NaCl, 1 mg / mL BSA, pH = 7.5) with serial dilutions of the inhibitor ranging from 250 nM to 2 fM, 1:2, in a total volume of 20 μL. FAPI-46 was used as a positive control. Experiments were performed in triplicate, and mean fluorescence values ​​were fitted using Graph Pad Pri-sm 9 (using the formula: Y = bottom + (top - bottom) / (1 + ((X^HillSlope) / (IC50^HillSlope))). IC 50 The value is defined as the concentration of inhibitor required to reduce enzyme activity by 50% after addition of substrate. The results are shown in Table 12 and Figure 2. [Table 18]

[0393] Example 8: In vitro cellular uptake 61 Cu-NODAGA-1 and 61 Cu-NODAGA-3 Cellular uptake was tested in vitro using intact cells seeded overnight in 6-well plates. On the day of the experiment, cells were washed and incubated with 100 μg of IgG alone or in the presence of blocking agents at different time points to distinguish between specific and nonspecific uptake. 61The cells were incubated with each of the Cu-labeled conjugates. At each time point investigated, the medium containing unbound (free) radiotracer was removed, followed by two washes with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline. The cells were then treated with ice-cold glycine solution (0.05 M, pH 2.8) for 2 × 5 min to detach the cell surface-bound radiotracer (acid release). Cells containing internalized radiotracer were then detached with 1 M NaOH at 37 °C and collected for measurement. The amount of specific cell surface-bound and internalized radiotracer is expressed as a percentage of the total radioactivity irradiated after subtracting nonspecific values. In HT-1080.hFAP (FAP-positive) and HT-1080.wt (FAP-negative) cells, [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-1,[ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-3 and [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-FAPI-46 (0.2 nM) was evaluated. The internalized and cell surface-associated fractions of the tested radiotracers are reported in Table 13. Values ​​are expressed as % of the delivered radioactivity and refer to specific uptake calculated after subtracting the nonspecific value (measured in the presence of the FAP-nonexpressing cell line HT-1080.wt) from the total value (specific = total - nonspecific). [Table 19]

[0394] [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-2 and [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-4 Once thawed, HT-1080.hFAP (FAP-positive), HT-1080.wt (FAP-negative), HEK-293.hFAP, and HEK-293.wt cells were cultured in MEM medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum (10% FBS) and penicillin-streptomycin (1%) at 37°C and 5% CO. For passage, cells were detached using trypsin-EDTA 0.05% upon reaching 90% confluence and replated at a dilution of 1:4 / 1:12 (HT-1080) or 1:10 / 1:20 (HEK-293).

[0395] HT-1080.hFAP and HT-1080.wt cells were cultured at 1.8 × 10 in 400 μL of medium 24 h before the experiment. 5 Cells were seeded into a 24-well plate at a concentration of 100 cells / well. Cells were then preconditioned in 360 μL of assay medium (MEM medium without supplements) at 37°C for 60 minutes. 61 A 2 nM solution of Cu-labeled radioligand was added, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C. Cell uptake was interrupted at different time points (15 min, 1 h, and 4 h) by washing twice with ice-cold PBS. The cell surface-bound radioligand was obtained by washing the cells twice with ice-cold glycine buffer (pH 2.8) followed by collection of the internalized fraction with 1 M NaOH. The radioactivity of each fraction was measured using a γ-counter (Cobra II). The results are expressed as a percentage of the irradiated radioactivity after subtracting nonspecific uptake in HT-1080.wt cells (Figures 3 and 4).

[0396] 61 The Cu-labeled FAP radiotracer was rapidly and almost completely internalized in cells expressing human FAP at 37°C, with only negligible amounts remaining on the cell surface (plasma membrane).

[0397] Example 9: Saturation binding experiments Cell membrane preparation: HEK-293.hFAP cells were grown to confluence, mechanically disaggregated, washed with PBS (pH 7.4), and resuspended in 20 mM homogenization Tris buffer (pH 7.5) containing 1.3 mM EDTA, 0.25 M sucrose, 0.7 mM bacitracin, 5 μM soybean trypsin inhibitor, and 0.7 mM PMSF. The cells were homogenized using an Ultra-Turrax, and the homogenized suspension was centrifuged at 500 × g for 10 minutes at 4 °C. The supernatant was collected in a centrifuge tube (Beckman Coulter Inc., Brea, CA, USA). This procedure was then repeated five times. The collected supernatant was centrifuged at 49,000 × g for 55 minutes at 4 °C in an ultracentrifuge (Beckman). The pellet was then resuspended in 10 mM ice-cold HEPES buffer (pH 7.5), aliquoted, and stored at −80° C. The protein concentration of these membrane suspensions was determined by the Bradford method using BSA as a standard.

[0398] Saturation experiments: 61 The association profile of Cu-labeled radioligand was investigated at different concentrations ranging from 0.075 nM to 50 nM on HEK-293 hFAP cell membranes at 37 °C. Each assay tube contained 170 μL of binding buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, containing 4 mM MgCl2, 0.2% BSA, 20 mg / L bacitracin, 20 mg / L PMSF, and 200,000 KIU / L aprotinin). Incubation was initiated by adding 30 μL of 10x the final concentration of radioligand solution and 100 μL of cell membrane suspension, resulting in 10 μg of protein per well. For determination of nonspecific binding, 140 μL of the above binding buffer was added along with 30 μL of FAPI-46 (0.1 mM). The bound fraction was plotted against the corresponding radioligand concentration at equilibrium. Dissociation constant (KD) and maximum binding capacity (Bmax) values ​​were calculated using GraphPad Software Inc., Prism 7 (San Diego, CA, USA) (Table 14 and Figure 5). [Table 20]

[0399] Example 10: Mouse studies All animal experiments were performed in accordance with Swiss animal welfare laws and regulations under license number 30515 granted by the Veterinary Office (Department of Health) of Canton Basel-Stadt.

[0400] Tumor transplantation: 4-6 week-old female athymic nude-Foxn1nu / Foxn1+ mice (Envigo, The Netherlands) were implanted with 5-10 × 10 tumor cells suspended in 100 μL of PBS. 6 HT-1080.hFAP cells were injected subcutaneously into the right shoulder or right flank, with 5–10 × 10 cells suspended in 100 µL of PBS. 6 HT-1080 wild-type cells were injected into the contralateral shoulder or flank. Tumors grew to 100–200 mm 3 The cells were grown to an average volume of 1000 kJ / ml.

[0401] Biodistribution study: Xenograft mice were randomized (n=5 per group) 61 Cu-labeled radioligand (100 μL, 500 pmol, 0.8–1 MBq) was injected intravenously via the tail vein. Mice were euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation at 1 and 4 hours post-injection. Organs of interest and blood were harvested, rinsed of excess blood, blotted dry, weighed, and counted in a γ-counter. Samples were counted against appropriately diluted aliquots of the injection solution as a standard, and results are expressed as the percentage of injected radioactivity per gram of tissue (% IA / g) ± SD. Results are shown in Tables 15A–B and Figures 6–11. [Table 21] [Table 22]

[0402] [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-1,[ 61Cu]Cu-NODAGA-2,[ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-3,[ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-4 and [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-1 showed high accumulation in FAP-positive (HT-1080.hFAP) tumors and mouse FAP-positive tissues, such as bone marrow.

[0403] PET / CT Imaging: Mice bearing FAP-positive and FAP-negative xenografts were subjected to the PET / CT imaging of the present disclosure. 61 Cu-labeled radioligand or [ 61 [Cu]Cu-NODAGA-FAPI-46 (100 μL / 500 pmol / 6-12 MBq) was injected intravenously. Mice were anesthetized with 1.5% isoflurane, and dynamic PET scans were acquired for 1 h at the time of injection of the radiotracer. Mice were euthanized with CO2 at 4 h pi, and static PET scans were acquired for 30 min.

[0404] PET / CT images were acquired using a β-CUBE PET scanner system (Molecubes, Gent, Belgium) with a spatial resolution of 0.85 mm and an axial field of view of 13 cm. Dynamic PET scans were acquired for 60 minutes. All PET scans were attenuation-corrected by the ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) algorithm and reconstructed into a 192 × 400 × 384 matrix using 30 iterations, a voxel size of 400 × 192 × 400 μm, and 15 minutes per frame. Attenuation correction was applied to the PET data using the CT data. CT scans were performed in the head-on supine position using a NanoSPECT / CT™ scanner (Bioscan Inc.). First, a topogram and helical CT scan of the whole mouse were acquired using the following parameters: X-ray tube current: 177 μA, X-ray tube voltage: 45 kVp, 90 seconds, and 180 frames per rotation, with a pitch of 1. CT images were reconstructed using CTReco (version r1.146) with a standard filtered backprojection algorithm (accurate cone beam) and post-filtering (RamLak, 100% frequency cutoff) to obtain a pixel size of 0.2 mm. Co-registered PET / CT images were visualized using maximum intensity projection (MIP) with VivoQuant software (version 4.0). (Figures 12–15, and Figure 24).

[0405] Prior to the 4-hour scan, residual PET radioactivity in the mouse body 4 hours pi was measured (Table 16). 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-FAPI-46 and [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-1 showed the highest retention rate in the body, and [ 61 Cu]Cu-NODAGA-4 showed the lowest value. Due to the physical properties of the radionuclides, [ 68 Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 was not evaluated 4 hours pi. [Table 23]
