Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands. In particular, the present disclosure relates to ligands for glutamic acid. Glycothamate-urea-lysine (GUL) moiety, radioisotopes, and radiometals The present invention relates to a PSMA ligand having a chelator that can include a chelator (such as a chelate or chelator complex).

[0002] The present disclosure also relates to the use of these compounds in the imaging and treatment of prostate cancer. Also related. [Background technology]

[0003] Theragnostics is a patient management strategy that involves the integration of diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

[0004] In the context of nuclear medicine, theragnostics involves the use of diagnostic radioactive metals (e.g., positrons or gamma emitters) or therapeutic radiometals (e.g., beta emitters). This refers to the use of specific target molecules for the diagnosis and therapy of specific diseases. The present invention provides a method for detecting a target molecule having high affinity for a receptor expressed on a tumor cell, the method comprising: Radiolabeling with gallium Ga-68 for therapeutic purposes or lutetium Lu-177 for therapeutic purposes Therefore, the same molecular target compounds can be used for molecular imaging and disease diagnosis. Individualized treatment using these materials can be effectively carried out.

[0005] This use of the same target compound also allows for a more thorough approach to patient management. This diagnostic method also has several simultaneous roles, using the same molecule labeled with radionuclides for diagnostics, reproduction, monitoring, and therapy. This is because it allows for the selection of a suitable therapy or a different treatment strategy, and post-treatment follow-up. do.

[0006] For patients, theragnostics results in more effective medical care and reduces unnecessary treatments. Reduce or eliminate medical treatment and tailor therapeutic interventions to patients who will benefit most. may not respond to unnecessary treatment or may otherwise have side effects. By predicting which patients will experience this, theragnostic approach can improve efficiency. It will be not only comprehensive but also patient-centered.

[0007] For physicians, theragnostics is the optimal therapy for diagnosing and staging disease. improve their ability to select treatment options and monitor treatment effectiveness and disease progression, It is possible to safely and effectively improve predictive ability so that the above outcomes are better. do.

[0008] For payers, theragnostic approaches are associated with suboptimal diagnostics and treatments. Reduce the costs associated with diagnosis and time required to diagnose, resulting in effective individualized treatment plans. This allows patients to be treated.

[0009] Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the United States and Europe. Metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) is associated with poor prognosis and reduced quality of life.

[0010] Recently, PSMA ligand-based endo-radiotherapy (endo-radiotherapy) has been rapy) is an example of a new trend in development for treating prostate cancer, and PSM A is overexpressed in primary cancer lesions and in soft tissue / bone metastatic disease, PSMA expression is considered a suitable target for diagnostic imaging and therapy. The incidence appears to be even higher in the most aggressive castration-resistant variants, which is represent a patient population with high unmet medical need (March al et al.,Histol Histopathol,2004,Jul;19 (3):715-8;Mease et al.,Curr Top Med Chem ,2013,13(8):951-62).

[0011] Among the many small molecule ligands targeting PSMA, urea-based low-dose agents These agents have been the most extensively investigated in prostate cancer clinical evaluations and PR studies. Some of these agents have been shown to be suitable for RT therapy. It has glutamate-urea-lysine (GUL).

[0012] Several radiolabeled small molecule inhibitors of PSMA have been designed based on this approach (K iess AP,Banerjee SR,Mease RC,et al.Prost ate-specific membrane antigen as a target t for cancer imaging and therapy.QJ Nuc l Med Mol Imaging.2015;59:241-268)

[0013] However, in certain circumstances, the use of diagnostic radiometals can be limited (6 (Problems with availability of 8Ga and scattered production).

[0014] On the other hand, 68Ga has a physical half-life of only 68 minutes. PSMA-PET scans are preferably performed in-house to ensure sufficient tracer activity. Delivery to remote centers is difficult. As a result, large centers with many patients The center requires multiple production runs per day or multiple production units to be built simultaneously. It would require the operation of a facility, which would increase costs. To overcome these limitations, the use of 18F-labeled PSMA tracers has been proposed. Good. PET radiopharmaceutical specialty pharmacy with on-site cyclotron macy) can produce highly radioactive 18F at an affordable cost. The physical half-life of the PSMA tracer (110 min) also allows for centralized production and remote satellite 18F also has a lower positron energy than 68Ga, which may allow delivery to light centers. It has a higher energy (0.65 vs. 1.90 MeV) and theoretically provides improved spatial resolution.

[0015] However, the development of alternative PSMA ligands is always desirable because of the need for diagnostic methods. and / or the development of alternative and diverse PSMA ligands suitable for use as therapeutics would be beneficial. Because it can become. Summary of the Invention
