Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the biopharmaceutical field and, more specifically, relates to compounds targeting fibroblast-activating protein (FAP) represented by formula (I), radionucleolabeled complexes based thereon, methods for producing them, and their use in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals for the diagnosis, prevention and / or treatment of diseases characterized by high expression of FAP. [Background technology]

[0002] Ninety percent of deaths in patients with malignant tumors are caused by tumor cell metastasis, yet currently, preventive or therapeutic strategies against tumor metastasis remain insufficient. A tumor is a complex composed of tumor cells and their surrounding stromal cells and non-cellular components. Tumor development and progression are dynamic processes in which tumor cells and their microenvironment mutually promote and evolve together. The tumor microenvironment (TME) includes cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), with the formed components being primarily cellular components, including immune cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Among these, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the most prominent stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment, accounting for approximately 50% of the total number of tumor tissue cells. CAFs play a crucial role in tumor growth, metastasis, drug resistance, and treatment resistance, and are a focus of tumor diagnostic and therapeutic research.

[0003] In cancer, fibroblast-activating protein (FAP) is a unique marker for tumor-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and a crucial regulator and driver of the tumor microenvironment (TME). CAFs are one of the largest components of the TME and promote tumor growth and cell invasion through the secretion of pro-inflammatory and growth factors, and ECM remodeling. Beyond cells within the TME, FAP expression can also be present in malignant epithelial cells. FAP promotes tumor growth through ECM remodeling, leading to the formation of activated cancer stroma necessary for cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Clinically, increased FAP expression has been observed in the invasive anterior margin of colorectal cancer tumor samples, further supporting its role in invasion and metastasis. FAP also promotes the formation of immunosuppressive TME by enabling pro-tumor inflammation. FAP is selectively expressed on the surface of stromal fibroblasts in over 90% of epithelial malignancies, including breast, ovarian, lung, colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, and cutaneous melanoma. FAP is not typically expressed in benign and precancerous epithelial tumors, such as colorectal adenomas, mammary phyllodes tumors, and fibroadenomas. On the other hand, FAP is generally not expressed in normal human tissues, being present only in the cervix and endometrium, and is expressed transiently during embryonic development. Given the important role FAP plays in TME, there is growing interest in using it as an imaging and therapeutic target.

[0004] In recent years, many FAP inhibitors have entered clinical trials. For example, 68 Ga-FAPI-04, 68 Ga-FAPI-46, 68 Ga-oncoFAP-DOTAGA, 177Lu-FAPI-04 and similar probes offer powerful tools for precise localization and targeted killing of a wide variety of cancerous lesions. However, their relatively short tumor residence time, low absolute tumor uptake, and rapid clearance from the body result in undesirable uptake and imaging effects in tumors with low FAP expression, and also limit the killing effect on target cells or tissues of therapeutic radionuclides with long half-lives. Therefore, developing FAP-targeting probes with higher tumor uptake, longer residence time, lower non-target tissue uptake, and faster clearance is of significant importance in promoting FAP-targeted integrated pharmaceutical treatments. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] Because FAP is selectively overexpressed in over 90% of epithelial malignancies, it is an ideal target for developing tumor-targeting probes. Considering that existing FAP-targeting small molecule compounds do not show high uptake in tumors and have short residence times, the present invention provides a compound shown in formula (I). This compound can simultaneously recognize different amino acid sites of FAP to increase affinity and enhance tumor uptake, thus possessing high affinity for FAP and being usable for FAP targeting. Furthermore, the present invention has found that a radionucleolabeled complex based on this compound specifically recognizes the FAP target, increases tumor uptake rates, and thereby enhances tumor detection rates and / or therapeutic effects.

[0006] Based on this, one object of the present invention is to provide a compound represented by formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, enantiomer, diastereomer, racemate, atropoisomer, crystalline polymorph, solvate, or isotope-labeled compound.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing the compound represented by formula (I).

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide radionuclei-labeled complexes obtained by labeling a radionuclei with a compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, diastereomer, racemate, atropoisomer, crystalline polymorph, solvate, or isotope-labeled compound thereof as a ligand.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing the radioactive nucleon-labeled complex.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more compounds selected from the compound represented by formula (I), its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, enantiomers, diastereomers, racemates, atropoisomers, crystalline polymorphs, solvates, isotope-labeled compounds, and the radionucleo-labeled complex, and optionally pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide for the use of the compound represented by formula (I) or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, diastereomer, racemate, atropoisomer, crystalline polymorph, solvate, or isotope-labeled compound, or the radionucleon-labeled complex, in the preparation of reagents for inhibiting FAP activity.

[0012] A further object of the present invention is to provide for the use of the compound represented by formula (I) or any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, diastereomer, racemate, atropoisomer, crystalline polymorph, solvate, or isotope-labeled compound, or the radionucleo-labeled complex, in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals or reagents for the diagnosis, prevention and / or treatment of diseases characterized by high FAP expression. [Means for solving the problem]

Then, 45 μL of 1.5 M sodium acetate solution and 430 μL of gallium chloride eluent were added and mixed uniformly. After labeling was complete, the samples were left at 37°C for 0, 30, 60, and 120 minutes. Samples were taken and thin-layer chromatography was performed, and the stability was calculated after detection with a gamma detector. The results are shown in Figure 3.

[0118] From Figure 3, 68 This study demonstrates that Ga-ZC-1 exhibits high stability in PBS and BSA buffers, showing no apparent demetallation within 2 hours, and can be used in subsequent experiments.

[0119] Test Example 4: In U87MG human glioma-bearing mice 68 Ga-ZC-1 and 68 PET / CT imaging of Ga-FAPI-04 Test animals and administration method: U87MG human glioma-bearing mice, administered via tail vein injection; Treatment groups and dosages: 68 Ga-ZC-1 group: 150 μCi / 200 μL via tail vein injection 68 Ga-ZC-1; Blocking group: 68 Administer compound FAPI-04 via tail vein injection 30 minutes before administering Ga-ZC-1 (500 times the amount of probe substance); Control group: 150 μCi / 200 μL via tail vein injection 68 Ga-FAPI-04; 68PET / CT imaging was performed 0.5, 1, and 2 hours after Ga-ZC-1 injection to observe the in-mice distribution of the probe and its accumulation in tumor areas. The results are shown in Figure 4-6.

[0120] The results are shown in Figure 4 for the U87MG heterologous transplant model. 68 Ga-ZC-1 PET imaging showed high tumor uptake and strong contrast between tumor and background. Even 0.5 hours after injection, tumor accumulation rapidly reached 4.467 ± 0.379% ID / g, and after 1 hour, the signal gradually decreased. Furthermore, it was compared to control and clinically used drugs. 68 Ga-FAPI-04 showed a much lower signal in tumors. Furthermore, 68 0.5 hours after Ga-ZC-1 injection, the U87MG tumor in the left anterior axilla of the mice was clearly visualized, and in the blockade experiment, pre-administration of non-radioactive FAPI-04 significantly reduced uptake into the tumor. This result indicates that 68 This shows specific accumulation of Ga-ZC-1 in the body. In the control group, 68 With Ga-FAPI-04, tumors were observed 0.5 hours after injection, but there was little difference compared to hepatic uptake. Subsequently, uptake in the tumor area was clearly reduced, and the signal disappeared after 2 hours. This is widely accepted. 68 Compared to Ga-FAPI-04, 68 Ga-ZC-1 showed significantly improved uptake in the tumor region and longer tumor residence time. The experimental results indicated that the probe 68 This study demonstrates that Ga-ZC-1 has efficacy in in vivo tumor imaging.

[0121] Figure 5 is a biodistribution statistics diagram. From the data in the figure, it can be seen that after pre-injection of FAPI-04 as an inhibitor, tail vein injection... 68 When Ga-ZC-1 is administered, 68 This shows a clear decrease in Ga-ZC-1 uptake. 68 This shows that Ga-ZC-1 specifically targets tumors with high FAP expression, achieving a tumor / brain distribution ratio of 13. Figure 6 shows that 68 Ga-ZC-1 and68 This shows the tumor uptake of Ga-FAPI-04 and the area under the curve (AUC) over time. 68 Ga-ZC-1 and 68 Used to compare tumor uptake levels of Ga-FAPI-04, they showed 422.5 and 98.14, respectively. 68 This indicates that Ga-ZC-1 has a longer tumor retention time.
