Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention is in the field of molecular imaging, and more specifically relates to heterodimers and their radiomedical applications. [Background technology]

[0002] Dual Target Strategy As personalized and precision medicine has become a frontier in cancer treatment, a need has arisen for novel tumor-targeted imaging-therapy integration. Currently, tumor-targeted imaging research has made great strides. By using highly specific peptides, antibodies, and nanoparticles as targeting molecules and coupling them with signal molecules such as fluorescent and nuclides, it has become possible to non-invasively diagnose the disease state of clinical tumor patients and then administer targeted treatment. However, although a number of single-receptor targeting peptides have demonstrated good tumor targeting capabilities in the body, these single-receptor targeting peptides suffer from drawbacks such as low binding affinity, short tumor retention time, and low tumor uptake. In some cases, they suffer from issues such as less than ideal imaging contrast and specificity in tumor tissue and short probe retention time in tumor tissue, which are disadvantageous for tumor diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] In contrast, dual-targeting molecular probes fill this void. Because many tumor cells overexpress multiple tumor-specific receptors on their surfaces, probes that can distinguish between multiple targets have higher target affinity and efficiency than single-receptor probes. Dual-targeting molecular probes may exhibit enhanced affinity through specific interactions with two different targets: two receptors / proteins on the cancer cell surface, the tumor microenvironment, or immune cells. Due to their improved affinity and pharmacokinetic characteristics, the specific uptake of dual-targeting molecular probes in tissues is superior to that of corresponding monomeric contrast agents. Therefore, multivalent interaction strategies to convert low-affinity single-targeting ligands into high-affinity dual / multi-targeting ligands and increase maximum binding capacity are key strategies for developing novel, highly specific tumor diagnostic molecular probes.

[0004] Integrin α V β3 receptors and CD13 receptors and tumor angiogenesis Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood vessels from existing blood vessels. It is an important pathway to ensure that rapidly growing tumor tissues receive nutrients and oxygen, and is also widely considered to be an important link between tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Because tumor growth and metastasis depend heavily on angiogenesis, this phenomenon is considered a major target for tumor diagnosis and therapy. The tumor angiogenesis process is mediated by integrin α V It is stimulated by a variety of growth factors, including β3 receptors and CD13 receptors.

[0005] Integrin α V Integrin α plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis and is a receptor for extracellular matrix proteins with the RGD tripeptide sequence, including vitreous protein, fibronectin, fibrinogen, collagen, vascular hemophilic factor, bone bridge protein, and adenovirus particles. V Integrin α3 is expressed at low levels in epithelial cells and mature endothelial cells, but is overexpressed in activated endothelial cells of tumor neovasculature and in some tumor cells. V β3 is highly associated with tumor growth, invasion and metastatic processes and has emerged as an important molecular target for the early detection and treatment of rapidly growing solid tumors.

[0006] CD13 is a membrane glycoprotein that functions as an extracellular aminopeptidase, and its specific ligand contains the NGR tripeptide sequence. High expression of CD13 can be detected in many human solid tumors, including those of pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and melanoma. CD13 is also involved in tumor angiogenesis, and CD13 is present on tumor endothelial cells but not on normal tissue blood vessels.

[0007] Radiotargeted drug therapy of tumors Targeted radiation therapy is an important tumor treatment method, especially for metastatic and highly diffused cancers that are ineffective against surgery or conventional radiation therapy. This therapy utilizes carriers or intervention techniques to specifically collect radionuclides in diseased tissues or cells, and the radiation particles from the radionuclides move in biological tissues, causing energy transfer and ionization. The energy generated in this process can directly cleave the chemical bonds of biological macromolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins, changing their molecular structure and function. In particular, DNA cleavage and synthesis disorders can inhibit the cycle of damaged cells or cause apoptosis, thereby exerting a therapeutic effect. Targeted radiation therapy usually involves the combination of a targeting agent / carrier (e.g., antibody, peptide, or small molecule) and a therapeutic radioisotope (e.g., a β-ray emitting radioisotope). 177 Lu, 90 Y, 131 I, 89 Sr, 32 They are labeled with radionuclides (e.g., P, and α-ray emitting 223Ra, 212Bi, 225Ac, etc.) to deliver cytotoxic doses of radioactive radiation to target cancer cells. To achieve therapeutic effects, the half-lives of currently commonly used therapeutic radionuclides are usually relatively long, resulting in sustained internal emission. For example, 177 The half-life of Lu is 6.7 days, 131 The half-life of I is 8.1 days, 32 The half-life of P is 14.3 days. To maximize the therapeutic effect of radionuclides, the biological half-life of the targeting agent / carrier must be matched as closely as possible to the radioactive half-life of the radionuclide used as a pair. However, currently, polypeptide targeting carriers generally suffer from the drawbacks of low tumor uptake and high body clearance. Radiotherapy using polypeptides as targeting carriers usually results in insufficient radiation doses in tumor tissue, limiting its application in the field of tumor treatment.

[0008] Albumin Carrier Strategy Albumin has been widely explored as a drug carrier due to its advantages of high biocompatibility, strong non-antigenicity, good biodegradability, and ease of surface modification. To date, several albumin-based nanodelivery systems have been successfully converted into clinical drugs, significantly improving drug pharmacokinetics and tumor accumulation, thereby increasing the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and reducing side effects.

[0009] In the field of tumor radiotherapy, molecular design can introduce albumin binding fragments into carrier molecules, so that radioisotope-labeled targeting molecules can bind to albumin in the body, significantly extending their circulation time and half-life, and improving their pharmacokinetic properties.At the same time, the large particle size of albumin and the EPR effect of tumor tissue can be used to enhance the targeting of targeting probes and radioisotopes, and the high metabolic level of tumor tissues allows for a high uptake rate of nutrients such as albumin, thereby increasing the uptake rate of targeting probes and radioisotopes into tumors.

[0010] However, the albumin-loading technique may cause side effects due to increased uptake of radioactive target peptides by healthy organs. Summary of the Invention

[0103] The results are shown in Table 3.

[0104] Table 3: Percentage drug remaining after in vitro incubation in mouse plasma or PBS for Example L11 compound [Table 3]

[0105] As can be seen from the above table, the residual drug percentage of the compound of Example L11 after in vitro incubation at constant temperature in mouse plasma or PBS was maintained at 95% or more, indicating high stability.

[0106] Animal experiments 1. Construction of a human pancreatic cancer xenograft tumor model BxPC3 human pancreatic cancer cells were placed in 200 μL of a mixture of phosphate buffer and matrix gel (v / v, 1 / 1) at a concentration of 2 × 10 6100 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the left shoulder of normal NCr nude mice (18-25 g, 4-6 weeks old). After an average of 1.5 weeks, tumors reached approximately 10 mm in diameter, which was already large enough for biodistribution and SPECT / CT imaging studies.

[0107] 2. Compound 68 Ga labeling 2.1, 1.0 μmol of Example L11 compound was dissolved in 1.0 mL of 0.25 M sodium acetate solution.

[0108] 2.2. Elute the gallium germanium generator with 4 mL of 0.05 M hydrochloric acid solution and rinse. 68 GaCl3 was prepared.

[0109] 2.3. 1 μmol of the solution of the compound of Example L11 was added to the rinse solution with 1 mCi radioactivity, and 300 μL of 0.25 M sodium acetate solution was further added, followed by reaction at 60° C. for 10 minutes. 68 The Ga-L11 complex was obtained, and the resulting mixture was monitored by radio-high performance liquid chromatography to quantify the label (purity >97%).

[0110] 3. Positron Emission Computed Tomography (PET-CT) of Small Animals PET-CT and image analysis were performed using a small animal NovelMedcal PET-CT scanner (Beijing Yongxin), with a maximum tangential and radial half-width at the center of the field of view of 1.5 mm and a maximum tangential and radial half-width at the edge of the field of view of 1.8 mm.

[0111] After anesthetizing with isoflurane, approximately 100 μCi 68 Ga-L00, 68 Ga-L11, 68 Ga-L12, 68 Ga-L13 and 68Ga-L21 conjugates were injected via the tail vein into BxPC3 tumor-bearing mice. Four mice were injected with each conjugate. Static PET-CT images were acquired for 15 minutes at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours after intravenous injection. The imaging effects of the five conjugates at each time point were compared.

[0112] PET and CT images were acquired using NMSoft workstation software (Beijing Yongxin). Data are presented as a percentage of the injected dose per gram of tissue or organ (ID / g), determined by decay correction for each sample (normalized to a known weight representing the injected dose). Normalization was performed during statistics, and normalized uptake values ​​(SUVs) were calculated using the following formula: SUV=([Bq / mL]×[Animal weight (g)] / [Injection amount (Bq)]) The uptake of the five conjugates into tumor, muscle, and kidney at each time point is shown in Figures 6 and 7.

[0113] For the 68Ga-L00 complex formed with the Example L00 conjugate, which lacks the albumin-binding fragment in the conjugate structure, the drug was rapidly metabolized by the kidney within 2 hours after injection, resulting in a weak signal in the tumor tissue, with a tumor / kidney ratio of only about 0.18 after 2 hours.

[0114] After injection of the other four conjugates, signals were detected in the systemic blood of mice within a short time, demonstrating that the albumin-binding fragment in the conjugates increased the circulation time of the conjugates. Furthermore, with increasing time, most of the conjugates were excreted in the urine via the kidneys, and the background signal in normal tissues gradually decreased, while the signal in tumor tissues gradually increased, indicating that the conjugates were specifically concentrated in tumor tissues over time.

[0115] Example L11 compound formed 68 For the Ga-L11 conjugate, 6 hours after injection, the tumor / kidney ratio reached approximately 1.4 and continued to increase, indicating that the Example L11 compound has good stability, targeting, and specificity.

[0116] 68 After injection of Ga-L12 complex, the overall imaging trend was 68 Similar to the Ga-L11 complex, but accumulation in tumor tissue after 5-6 hours 68 This was not as clear as for the Ga-L11 complex.

[0117] 68 The Ga-L13 complex also showed a similar trend, but the uptake rate in the whole tumor tissue was 68 It was lower than that of the Ga-L11 complex.

[0118] 68 Regarding the Ga-L21 conjugate, the Example L21 conjugate has the same important polypeptide target and albumin-binding fragment in its structure as the Example L21 conjugate, but differs in one linker structure, so the tissue distribution tendency and extent of the two are very similar.

[0119] FIG. 7A shows the biodistribution of one representative animal selected from each complex group 5 hours after drug injection.

[0120] As can be seen from the MIP diagram and the quantification results of the tumor, kidney, and muscle ROI regions, 68 The tumor / kidney and tumor / muscle ratios of the Ga-L11 conjugate were the highest among the five conjugates. 68 Compared with the Ga-L00 conjugate, the other four conjugates showed significantly improved in vivo stability and tumor tissue accumulation.

[0121] 4. Example L11 Compound 177 Lu label 6 μL of 0.5 nmol / μL Example L11 compound solution was added to 1 mCi of 177LuCl 3 , the buffer was 200 μL of 0.1 M acetic acid-ammonium acetate buffer (pH=3.7-4.0), and then heated at 90° C. for 15 minutes.

[0122] The resulting mixture was monitored and quantitatively labeled (>97%) by radio-high performance liquid chromatography. 177 The Lu-L11 complex can be obtained.

[0123] 5. Small Animal Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT-CT) SPECT-CT and image analysis were performed using a small animal NovelMedcal SPECT-CT scanner (Beijing Yongxin). The maximum tangential and radial half-widths at the center of the field of view were 1.5 mm, and the maximum tangential and radial half-widths at the edge of the field of view were 1.8 mm.

[0124] After anesthetizing with isoflurane, approximately 500 μCi 177 The Lu-L11 conjugate was injected into BxPC3 tumor-bearing mice via the tail vein. A total of four animals were injected. 30-minute static SPECT-CT images were acquired at 4, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after intravenous injection. 177 The long-term imaging effect of the Lu-L11 complex was evaluated.

[0125] The SPECT-CT imaging results are shown in Figure 8. 177 Within 4 days after intravenous injection of Lu-L11 solution, the emission signal could be continuously detected in the mouse tumor tissue, and the signal disappeared in other tissues and organs. This indicates that the compound of Example L11 has good in vivo stability and targeting properties, and is a therapeutic nuclide with a long half-life. 177 These results suggest that it may be useful in combination with Lu for tumor radiotherapy.

[0126] 6. Biodistribution Studies Example 177 Lu-L11, 177 Lu-L12, 177 Lu-D-L11, 177 The Lu-L11-1 complex (3.7 MBq) was intravenously injected into BxPC3 tumor-bearing NCr nude mice. Five mice were euthanized at 1, 4, 24, 48, 72, and 120 hours after administration, and then dissected to extract samples.

[0127] Tissues and organs of interest were harvested, weighted and radioactively counted using a gamma counter.

[0128] Figure 9 shows 177 Lu-L11, 177 Lu-L12, 177 Lu-D-L11, 177 Radioactivity distribution in various mouse tissues 24 hours after intravenous injection of four Lu-L11-1 conjugates is shown, where the values ​​on the vertical axis are given as a percentage of the injected dose per gram of tissue or organ (ID / g) and are determined by decay correction for each sample (normalized to a known weight representing the injected dose).

[0129] As can be seen from Figure 9, 24 hours after intravenous injection, 177 Lu-L11, 177 Lu-L12, 177 Lu-D-L11, 177 All four types of Lu-L11-1 complexes were concentrated in tumors, among which: 177 The concentration of Lu-L12 was higher than that of the other three complexes. These complexes were also concentrated to some extent in the kidney, but were less concentrated in the spleen and uterus.

[0130] 7.Statistical analysis Statistical analysis was performed by two-tailed unpaired t-test in graphpad 6. Probability (p) values ​​less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

[0131] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any insubstantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
