Background Art
[0003] Prostate cancer is one of the most widespread cancers in the United States and Europe. In particular, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is associated with poor prognosis and a decline in quality of life. Recently, PSMA has been regarded as a suitable target for imaging and treatment because of its overexpression in primary cancer lesions and soft tissue / bone metastatic diseases. Therefore, PSMA ligand-based radioligand therapy (RLT) has become a new trend in the development for treating prostate cancer. Also, PSMA expression appears to be higher in the most aggressive castration-resistant variants of this disease, which constitute a patient population with a large unmet medical need (Marchal et al., Histol Histopathol, 2004, Jul; 19(3):715-8; Mease et al., Curr Top Med Chem, 2013, 13(8):951-62).
[0004] Among many small molecule ligands targeting PSMA, the most widely studied agents are urea-based low molecular weight agents. These agents are used in the clinical evaluation of prostate cancer and
[0005] It has been shown to be suitable for RRT therapy (Kiess et al., QJ Nucl Med Mol Imaging, 20 15;59:241-68). Some of these drugs are glutamate-urea-lysine (GUL). It has a targeting scaffold. A linker is bonded between the chelating agent and the GUL portion. A class of molecules was created according to this strategy. This approach involves the metal chelation portion. This strategy involves keeping the urea outside the binding site while allowing it to reach the binding site. Due to its demonstrated high uptake and retention rates, as well as rapid renal clearance, Successful in xenografted PSMA-positive tumors (Banerjee et al., J Med Chem, 2013; 56: 6108-21).
[0005] moreover, 177 Specific compounds like Lu-PSMA-617 are being widely studied. Various studies have shown that 177 Lu-PSMA-617 shows promise as a radioactive treatment for prostate cancer. This indicates that it is a pharmaceutical product (Delker et al., European Journal of Nuclear Medicine) e and Molecular Imaging (2016), 43(1), 42-51;Yadav et al., European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (2017), 44(1), 81-91).

The product is precipitated by slowly adding the butyl solution dropwise into ice-cold diethyl ether. The product was isolated by centrifugation, the precipitate was washed with diethyl ether, dried, and then mixed with water. Dissolve in a mixture with cetonitrile and freeze-dry.
[0158] The product is purified and isolated according to Example 1.
[0159] The total yield, including SPPS and purification, was 22% of the resin added.
[0160] Purity was confirmed by HPLC and Maldi-TOF MS. HPLC spike actual Tests confirm the identity of the product with that derived from Example 1.
