[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0010] The following terms will be used throughout as defined below. Where used herein and in the appended claims, singular articles, such as "a," "an," and "the" and similar referents, shall be construed to encompass both singular and plural forms in the context describing the element (particularly in the context of the following claims), unless otherwise noted herein or the context more clearly contradicts it. The enumeration of ranges of values herein is intended merely as a simple way to refer individually to each distinct value that falls within the range, unless otherwise noted herein, and each distinct value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually listed herein. All methods described herein may be carried out in any suitable order, unless otherwise noted herein or the context more clearly contradicts it. Any and all embodiments provided herein, or the use of exemplary language (e.g., "such as"), are intended merely to better illustrate the embodiments and, unless otherwise stated, do not imply any limitation to the claims. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any unclaimed element as an absolutely necessary element.
[0011] Where used herein, “approximately” is understood by those skilled in the art and varies to some extent depending on the context in which it is used. Where there is a use of a term that is not obvious to those skilled in the art, given the context in which it is used, “approximately” means up to plus or minus 10% of the given term. For example, “approximately 10% by mass” is understood to mean “9% to 11% by mass.” When “approximately” precedes a term, it should be understood that the term is interpreted as disclosing both the term that is “approximately” and the term without the modification by “approximately.” For example, “approximately 10% by mass” discloses “9% to 11% by mass” and “10% by mass.”
[0012] When used in this disclosure, the phrase "and / or" is understood to mean any one of the individually listed members or any combination of two or more of them. For example, "A, B, and / or C" means "A, B, C, A and B, A and C, or B and C."
[0013] As used herein, the term “amino acid” includes naturally occurring α-amino acids and synthetic α-amino acids (e.g., 2-amino-2-phenylacetic acid, also known as phenylglycine), as well as α-amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetic compounds that function in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids. Unless otherwise specified, the term further includes both L and D forms of such α-amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as later modified amino acids, such as hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids, e.g., α-carbon-holding organic groups, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methylsulfonium. Such analogs may have modified organic groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide skeletons, but may retain the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids. Amino acid mimetic compounds refer to chemical compounds that have a different structure from the general chemical structure of amino acids, but function in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids. Amino acids may be referred to herein by either these commonly known three-letter symbols or the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission.
[0014] As used herein, the terms “polypeptide,” “peptide,” and “protein” are interchangeable herein and mean polymers containing two or more amino acids linked to each other by peptide bonds or modified peptide bonds, i.e., peptide counterparts. Polypeptides refer to both short chains, commonly called peptides, glycopeptides, or oligomers, and long chains, commonly called proteins. Polypeptides may contain amino acids other than the 20 genetically encoded amino acids. Polypeptides include amino acid sequences modified by natural processes, e.g., post-translational processing, or by chemical modification techniques well known in the art, as well as synthetic amino acids.
[0015] Generally, a reference to a particular element, such as hydrogen or H, is intended to include all isotopes of that element. For example, if the R group is defined as containing hydrogen or H, this also includes deuterium and tritium. Thus, radioactive isotopes, such as tritium and C, are included. 14 , P 32 and S 35 Compounds containing the label are within the scope of the present invention. Procedures for inserting such labels into compounds of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art based on the disclosure herein. Generally, "substituted" refers to an organic group (e.g., an alkyl group) as defined below, in which one or more bonds to hydrogen atoms within it are replaced by bonds to non-hydrogen or non-carbon atoms. A substituted group also includes a group in which one or more bonds to carbon(or hydrogen) atoms are replaced by one or more bonds to heteroatoms, including double or triple bonds. Thus, unless otherwise specified, a substituted group is substituted with one or more substituents. In some embodiments, a substituted group is substituted with one, two, three, four, five, or six substituents. Examples of substituents, but not limited to these, include: halogens (i.e., F, Cl, Br, and I); hydroxyl; alkoxy, alkenoxy, aryloxy, aralkyloxy, heterocyclyl, heterocyclylalkyl, heterocyclyloxy, and heterocyclylalkoxy groups; carbonyl (oxo); carboxylate; ester; urethane; oxime; hydroxylamine; alkoxyamine; aralkoxyamine; thiol; sulfide; sulfoxide; sulfone; sulfonyl; pentafluorosulfanil (i.e., SF5), sulfonamide; amine; N-oxide; hydrazine; hydrazide; hydrazone; azide; amide; urea; amidine; guanidine; enamine; imide; isocyanate; isothiocyanate; cyanic acid; thiocyanate; imine; nitro group; and nitrile (i.e., CN).
[0016] Substituted cyclic groups, such as substituted cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, and heteroaryl groups, also include rings and ring systems in which bonds to hydrogen atoms are replaced by bonds to carbon atoms. Therefore, substituted cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, and heteroaryl groups may also be substituted with substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups as defined below. When used in this specification, C m -C n For example, C1-C 12 When used before a group, C1-C8 or C1-C6 refers to a group containing m to n carbon atoms.

[0046] The technology of the present invention Radioligands targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have shown promising efficacy in the clinical imaging and therapy of prostate cancer. While antibody-targeted PSMA was the first ligand to undergo clinical evaluation, radiolabeled PSMA small molecule inhibitors have recently gained momentum due to their rapid accumulation in these tumors, clearance from non-target tissues, and a side effect profile considered to be fairly tolerable to patients. Many of these compounds utilize glutamate-urea-lysine or glutamate-urea-glutamate moieties to achieve PSMA targeting and high-affinity binding to PSMA. Among the PSMA-targeting ligands currently under clinical investigation are certain fluorine-18 or gallium-68-labeled diagnostic compounds for positron emission tomography (PET) tumor imaging, or iodine-131, lutetium-177, bismuth-213, or actinium-225-labeled therapeutic compounds for use in radioligand therapy targeting PSMA-expressing cancers.
[0047] The tissue distribution and clearance of small molecules are usually rapid, but copper-64 has a longer half-life (t 1 / 2 =12.7 hours) is Gallium-68(t 1 / 2 =68 minutes) or fluorine-18(t 1 / 2 This offers pharmacokinetic and delivery advantages over a longer half-life (109 minutes), including the possibility of distributing radioactive ligands from centralized production facilities. The longer half-life allows for long-term imaging, which can facilitate the detection of small metastatic lesions in areas with relatively high background. Although the probability of decay due to positron emission of copper-64 is lower (17.9%) compared to other radioactive metals, e.g., gallium-68 (89%), the emitted β + The low energy of copper-64 enables high-resolution PET imaging. Furthermore, copper-64 also has β - It decays upon release (39.0%), facilitating its potential application in radioligand therapy. In this context, copper-64 itself is a theranostic radioisotope.
[0048] The theranostics concept describes using matched pairs of radionuclides to enable quantification of radioactivity distribution within the body, followed by radioligand therapy using the same delivery vector, targeting PSMA. 177 In clinical targeted radioligand therapy using Lu-targeted ligands, indium-111 is typically used as a matched pair to lutetium-177 for initial dosimetry experiments. This strategy is possible because DOTA macrocyclic molecules can stably chelate many trivalent radioactive metals to such compounds. This means that the chemical structure of the delivery vector should, in principle, remain largely the same. However, the ligand's affinity for its target protein can change as the metal forming the complex changes. This alters its tissue distribution and potentially complicates dosimetry and pharmacokinetic model predictions.
[0049] Copper-64(t 1 / 2 = 12.7 hours, β + =17.9%, β - =39.0%) and copper-67(t 1 / 2 =2.58 days, β - Copper-67 (=100%) forms an interesting theranostic pair. Copper-67 exhibits a close agreement between its biological half-life and physical half-life when conjugated to many delivery vectors, its decay to non-toxic daughters, and its released β - Based on the tissue range of the particles (which is about a few cells in diameter within the tissue), it is a promising isotope for targeted radioligand therapy. 67 Cu-labeled radioligands target the same receptor in preclinical models. 177It has shown efficacy comparable to Lu-labeled radioligands. This theranostic radionuclide is once again attracting interest due to newly emerging methods for generating suitable radioactivity of copper-67, which has high specific activity. Matched pairs of copper-64 and copper-67 have been suggested to be advantageous for predictive dosimetry in targeted radioligand therapy, exhibiting a radiosafety profile comparable to currently used theranostic pairs. The intriguing properties of Cu-64 / Cu-67 are: 64 This stimulated the application of Cu-labeled PSMA-617 to prostate cancer imaging. Despite the good targeting of metastatic lesions, [ 64 The hepatic uptake of radioactivity after administration of Cu]Cu-PSMA-617 suggests suboptimal in vivo stability, limiting the potential application of such DOTA-conjugate ligands. There remains a need in the art for better compounds that target cancer antigens and provide theragnotics in cancer treatment and diagnosis. Since absorbed radiation dose is a function of the integral of cumulative radioactivity, there is a need for radiotherapy compounds that accumulate to a greater extent within tumors without causing unacceptable uptake in normal organs.
[0050] The technology of the present invention provides novel compounds that overcome these problems, and in particular, provides trifunctional compounds having multiple domains, including one domain that targets and binds to tumor markers with relatively high affinity, and another domain that binds to blood proteins, such as serum albumin, with moderate to weak affinity. These compounds include a chelate moiety with high selectivity for copper, and specifically are derivatives of 3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo[6.6.6]icosan, known as sarcofadin.
[0051] Therefore, in one embodiment, a compound is provided comprising a tumor targeting domain (the tumor targeting domain includes a portion capable of recognizing or interacting with molecular targets on the surface of tumor cells), a blood protein binding domain, and a sarcofazine-containing domain, wherein the tumor targeting domain is distal to the blood protein binding domain and is not sterically hindered by the blood protein binding domain.
[0052] As discussed above, the tumor targeting domain ("TTD") includes a portion capable of recognizing or interacting with molecular targets on the surface of tumor cells. Such molecular targets include cell surface proteins, e.g., receptors, enzymes, and antigens. For example, the molecular target may be a receptor, enzyme, and / or antigen expressed on the surface of tumor cells (e.g., tumor-specific cell surface proteins) capable of interacting with the tumor targeting domain. An example of such a tumor targeting domain is the glutamate-urea-lysine motif, recognized by the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is expressed on the surface of most prostate cancer cells. Another example is edotreotide, recognized by the somatostatin receptor, which is expressed on the surface of many neuroendocrine cancers. Therefore, the tumor targeting domains of any aspect and embodiment of this specification may be capable of binding to tumor-related molecular targets including one or more of the following: tumor-specific cell surface proteins or other markers, such as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), somatostatin peptide receptor-2 (SSTR2), alpha-v-beta 3 (αvβ3), alpha-v-beta 6, gastrin-releasing peptide receptor, seplase (e.g., fibroblast-activating protein alpha (FAP-alpha)), incretin receptor, glucose-dependent The targets include encephalin-secreting polypeptide receptors, VIP-1, NPY, folate receptors, LHRH, neuron transporters (e.g., norepinephrine transporter (NET)), EGFR, HER-2, VGFR, MUC-1, CEA, MUC-4, ED2, TF antigen, endothelial-specific markers, neuropeptide Y, uPAR, TAG-72, claudin, CCK analogs, VIP, bombesin, VEGFR, tumor-specific cell surface proteins, GLP-1, CXCR4, hepsin, TMPRSS2, caspace, cMET, or overexpressed peptide receptors. The aforementioned targets are merely representative tumor-related molecular targets, and detailed structural information for both the targets and the compounds that bind to them exists. Various antibodies, peptides, and compounds exhibiting specific affinity for these particular cellular targets are widely described in the scientific literature and can be adapted to the technology of the present invention as tumor targeting domains.The tumor targeting domains of any aspect and embodiment of this specification have at least moderate to high affinity (e.g., about 10). -8 M ~ about 10 -10 Equilibrium coupling constant (K) in the range of M D )) and it is possible to bind to tumor-related molecular targets.
[0053] Therefore, examples of tumor targeting domains include a portion that targets and binds to the active site of PSMA, and this includes, for example, glutamate-urea-amino acid sequences, glutamate-urea-lysine sequences with or without aromatic substituents in the epsilonamine of lysine, or any derivative thereof that can bind to the active site of PSMA with moderate to high affinity. Exemplary structures are provided herein, but other regions of PSMA may also be targeted, and these are interchangeable with the PSMA tumor targeting domains of the compounds detailed herein. One exemplary copper-containing trifunctional compound having affinity for PSMA is as follows:

As discussed above, tumor targeting domains may include a portion that binds to seplase, such as a seplase inhibitor. Exemplary structures of copper-containing trifunctional compounds that have affinity for FAP and are useful in the diagnosis and therapy of most cancers are shown below.

[0057] Somatostatin is a peptide hormone that modulates the endocrine system and influences neurotransmission and cell proliferation through interaction with G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibition of the release of many secondary hormones. Somatostatin has two active forms, produced by the selective cleavage of a single preproprotein. There are five known somatostatin receptors, all of which are G protein-coupled transmembrane receptors: SST1 (SSTR1); SST2 (SSTR2); SST3 (SSTR3); SST4 (SSTR4); and SST5 (SSTR5). Exemplary somatostatin receptor agonists include somatostatin itself, lanreotide, octreotate, pasireotide, and bapreotide. Many neuroendocrine tumors express SSTR2 and other somatostatin receptors. Long-acting somatostatin agonists (e.g., octreotide, lanreotide) are used to stimulate the SSTR2 receptor and thus inhibit further tumor growth. See Zatelli MC, et al., (Apr 2007). “Control of pituitary adenoma cell proliferation by somatostatin analogs, dopamine agonists and novel chimeric compounds”. European Journal of Endocrinology / European Federation of Endocrine Societies.156 Suppl1:S29-35. Octreotide is an octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin but has a significantly longer half-life in vivo. Octreotide is used to treat diarrhea in people with growth hormone-producing tumors (acromegaly and gigantism), pituitary tumors that secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (thyrotropinoma), diarrhea and flushing symptoms associated with carcinoid syndrome, and vasoactive enteropeptide-secreting tumors (vipomas) when surgery is contraindicated. Lanreotide is used to treat acromegaly and symptoms caused by neuroendocrine tumors (mostly carcinoid syndrome).Pasireotide is a somatostatin analog with a stronger affinity for SSTR5 compared to other somatostatin agonists, and is approved for the treatment of Cushing's disease and acromegaly. Buserelin is used for the treatment of esophageal variceal bleeding and AIDS-related diarrhea in patients with liver cirrhosis liver disease. Therefore, regarding the technology of the present invention, exemplary structures of copper-containing trifunctional compounds based on lanreotide derivatives that have an affinity for SSTR2 and can be used for the diagnosis and therapy of the diseases described above are shown below.

Examples of bombesin receptor agonists include, but are not limited to, BBR-1 agonists, BBR-2 agonists, and BBR-3 agonists.

[0062] The blood protein-binding domain (BBD) (e.g., albumin-binding domain; albumin-binding moiety) plays a role in regulating the rate of plasma clearance of a compound in a subject, thereby increasing its circulation time and compartmentalizing the cytotoxic effects of a cytotoxin-containing domain and / or the imaging ability of a contrast-enhancing domain in the plasma space, instead of normal organs and tissues capable of expressing the antigen. Without being constrained by theory, this component of a compound is thought to reversibly interact with serum proteins, e.g., albumin and / or cellular elements. The affinity of this blood protein-binding domain (e.g., albumin-binding domain; albumin-binding moiety) to the plasma or cellular components of blood can be designed to affect the residence time of the compound in the blood pool of the subject. In any embodiment herein, the blood protein-binding domain (e.g., albumin-binding domain; albumin-binding moiety) can be designed to reversibly or irreversibly bind to albumin when present in plasma.

Solvents marked "dried" were obtained after storage on 3 Å molecular sieves. The reactions were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC, Whatman UV254 aluminum-supported silica gel).
[0087] RPS-085, [ 64 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 and [ 67 Synthesis of Cu]Cu-RPS-085 The trifunctional scaffold (((S)-5-(3-(3-(1-((14S,17S)-14-(4-aminobutyl)-17-carboxy-24-(4-iodophenyl)-12,15,23-trioxo-3,6,9-trioxa-13,16,22-triazatetracosyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-yl)phenyl)ureido)-1-carboxypentyl)carbamoyl)-L-glutamic acid was synthesized as described in Kelly et al., (Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2018;45:1841-51). This amine (13 mg, 10 μmol, 1 equivalent) was dissolved in anhydrous DMF (1 mL; SIGMA Aldrich, USA) and stirred with N,N-diisopropylethylamine (18 μL, 100 μmol, 10 equivalents) at room temperature (rt) for 5 minutes. The binding of the sarcofadin chelating agent to the scaffold is controlled by the NHS ester derivative of MeCOSar and Lys. ε This was achieved through a reaction between [components]. An overview of this synthesis is provided below:
[0088] [ka] A solution of MeCOSar N-succinimidyl ester (6.2 mg, 12 μmol, 1.2 equivalents) in DMF (0.5 mL) was added dropwise to the reactants, and the resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 5 hours. The crude mixture was purified by HPLC using a dual-pump Agilent 1200 Series HPLC with a Phenomenex Luna® C18(2) 100 Å, 250 cm × 21.2 mm I.D., 10 μm reversed-phase column. The mobile phase was a gradient from 10% acetonitrile (MeCN) / water (H2O) + 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to 90% MeCN / H2O + 0.05% TFA over 40 minutes at a flow rate of 12 mL / min. The peak corresponding to RPS-085 was collected and lyophilized. RPS-085 was isolated as a white powder (8.6 mg, 53%).
[0089] The purity of the product was confirmed by analytical HPLC using a dual-pump Agilent ProStar HPLC equipped with an Agilent ProStar 325 dual-wavelength UV-Vis detector (Agilent Technologies, USA). UV absorption was monitored at 220 nm and 280 nm. Analysis was performed using a gradient method at a flow rate of 2 mL / min on an XSelect® CSH® C18 5 μm 4.6 × 50 mm column (Waters, USA). The gradients were: 0–1 min: 0%B; 1–8 min: 0–100%B; 8–9 min: 100%B; 9–10 min: 100–0%B. Mobile phase A consisted of H2O + 0.01% v / v TFA (Sigma Aldrich, USA), and mobile phase B consisted of 90% v / v MeCN / H2O + 0.01% TFA. Product identification information was confirmed by mass spectrometry. The mass was determined using a Waters ACQUITY UPLC® coupled to a Waters SQ Detector 2 (Waters, USA). MS(ESI+): 1620.14. Calculated mass: 1618.74.
[0090] Compared to the parent compound RPS-063, the affinity of the generated RPS-085 compound for PSMA decreased by approximately an order of magnitude. RPS-085, which does not contain metal, is used in IC55. 50 It inhibited PSMA at =29.1±2.4 nM. Its affinity for human serum albumin (HSA) was also K d The reduction was 9.9 ± 1.7 μM.
[0091] [ 64 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was quantitatively radiolabeled in both 10X PBS (pH 7.4) and 0.5M NH4OAc (pH 5.5) at 25°C for 20 minutes (n=6). Labeling with 3N NaOAc (pH 4.5) was achieved at the same temperature with a yield of 35±2% (n=2). 64 Cu]CuCl2 was purchased from the University of Wisconsin as a diluted solution in HCl. 64A Cu]CuCl2 solution (50–100 μL, containing 350–800 MBq) was transferred to an Eppendorf tube and diluted with 300 μL of 0.5 M NH4OAc. To this solution, 5 μL of 1 mg / mL RPS-085 in DMSO was added. The reaction mixture was incubated at 25°C for 20 minutes in an Eppendorf ThermoMixer® C (VWR, USA). The sample was then diluted to 10 mL with H2O and passed through a pre-prepared Sep-Pak C18 Plus Light cartridge (Waters, USA). The reaction vessel and cartridge were washed with 5 mL of H2O. The radioactivity retained on the cartridge was eluted with 100 μL of EtOH (300 proof; VWR, USA), followed by elution with 900 μL of physiological saline (0.9% NaCl solution; VWR, USA). Radiochemical purity was determined by analytical reversed-phase (radioactive) HPLC using a dual-pump Varian Dynamax HPLC system (Agilent Technologies, USA) equipped with dual UV-Vis detectors, and by a NaI(Tl) flow count detector (Bioscan, USA). UV absorption was monitored at 220 nm and 280 nm. Analysis was performed using a gradient method at a flow rate of 2 mL / min on a Symmetry C18 column (5 μm, 4.6 × 50 mm, 100 Å; Waters, USA). The gradient and mobile phase compositions were the same as those described above. Molar radioactivity was [ 64 Cu]Cu 2+ It was altered by the radioactivity. If the initial radioactivity was 800 MBq, [ 64 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was isolated with a molar radioactivity of 117 GBq / μmol and radiochemical purity >99% (Figures 1A-1B).
[0092] [ 67Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was quantitatively radiolabeled at a concentration of 6.2 μM in 0.1 M NH4OAc at 25°C for 20 minutes. The pH of the reaction mixture was approximately 6. Cu-67 was supplied by the Isotope Program of the Office of Nuclear Physics, Department of Energy's Office of Science. The radioactivity was diluted in 100 μL of 0.1 M NH4OAc to achieve a radioactivity concentration of approximately 4 GBq / mL. A 60 μL aliquot of the solution (containing 245 MBq) was added to a 1 mg / mL solution of RPS-085 in DMSO, which was diluted in 930 μL of 0.1 M NH4OAc. The reaction mixture was incubated in an Eppendorf ThermoMixer® C (VWR, USA) at 25°C for 20 minutes. Next, the sample was diluted to 10 mL with H2O and passed through a pre-prepared Sep-Pak C18 Plus Light cartridge (Waters, USA). The reaction vessel and cartridge were washed with 5 mL of H2O. The radioactivity retained on the cartridge was eluted with 200 μL of EtOH (300 proof; VWR, USA), followed by elution with 1.8 mL of physiological saline (0.9% NaCl solution; VWR, USA). The radiochemical purity was determined by analytical reversed-phase (radioactive) HPLC as described above. At an initial radioactivity of 245 MBq, [ 67 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was isolated with a molar radioactivity of 41 GBq / μmol and radiochemical purity >99% (Figures 2A-2B). For comparison, under the same labeling conditions, [ 67 Cu]Cu-RPS-063 was isolated with a radiochemical yield of 43% and a radiochemical purity of >99%.
[0093] Stability testing of compounds Reformed [ 64The stability of the Cu]Cu-RPS-085 solution was determined by triple replication at 25°C. Three 1 mL samples were transferred to Eppendorf tubes (VWR, USA) at a radioactivity concentration of approximately 10 MBq / mL and radiochemical purity >99%. The samples were incubated at 25°C for 24 hours in an Eppendorf ThermoMixer® C (VWR, USA). Radiochemical purity was determined by analytical reverse-phase (radioactive) HPLC and expressed as a fraction of the purity of the sample before incubation. After reformation, [ 64 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 remained stable at room temperature for longer than 24 hours.
[0094] [ 67 The plasma stability of Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was determined by a previously described method (Alt, et al., Mol Pharmaceutics. 2014; 11: 2855-63). Briefly, frozen human plasma was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (USA), thawed at 37°C, and 200 μL aliquots were transferred to Eppendorf tubes. 100 μL aliquots were then mixed in 10% EtOH / saline. 67 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was added to each tube, and the mixture was shaken at 300 rpm at 37°C for 24 hours using an Eppendorf ThermoMixer® C (VWR, USA). The experiment was performed in triple replicates. Protein precipitation was achieved by adding 600 μL of acetonitrile. The sample was centrifuged at 13500 rpm for 3 minutes in an Eppendorf 5424-R Centrifuge. The supernatant was analyzed by analytical reverse-phase (radioactive) HPLC as described above. After 24 hours of incubation in human plasma, [ 67 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was 97.4±0.4% intact. The only radiochemical impurity was an unidentified fragment of the parent compound. It did not form a complex. 67 Cu]Cu 2+ It was not observed.
[0095] cell culture, IC 50 In vitro determination and affinity for human serum albumin The PSMA-expressing human prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP, was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. Cell culture supplies were obtained from Invitrogen (USA) unless otherwise specified. LNCaP cells were maintained at 37°C / 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone), 4 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 10 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 2.5 mg / mL D-glucose, and 50 μg / mL gentamicin. Cells were removed from flasks for passage or transfer to 12-well assay plates and incubated with 0.25% trypsin / ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
[0096] RPS-085 IC that does not contain metal 50 teeth, 99m In a multi-concentration competitive binding assay for Tc-MIP-1427 (Hillier et al., J Nucl Med. 2013; 54: 1369-76), binding to PSMA on LNCaP cells was determined according to a previously described method (Kelly et al., Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2018; 45: 1841-51). RPS-085 was added to the wells at final concentrations ranging from 1 pM to 10 μM. The assay was performed in triple replicates, and IC was determined. 50 This was expressed as the mean ± standard deviation.
[0097] The affinity for human serum albumin was determined by high-performance affinity chromatography, as previously described (Kelly et al., J Nucl Med. 2019; 60: 656-63). Briefly, with a maximum injection mass of 80 ng and a maximum injection volume of 20 μL, [ 67Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was packed into a Chiralpak HSA analytical high-performance liquid chromatography column, 100 × 2 mm, 5 mm (Daicel Corp.) as a solution in 10% v / vEtOH / physiological saline. A homogeneous mobile phase of 5% v / v isopropanol / 0.067 M phosphate buffer was used at pH 7.4 at a constant flow rate of 0.3 mL / min, and the analysis was performed in quadruple replicates. 67 The retention time for Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was 4.64 ± 0.52 minutes. The equation previously derived for the analytical conditions is:

[0099] LNCaP xenograft mouse model and micro-PET / CT imaging All animal experiments were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Weill Cornell Medicine and conducted in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the USPHS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Mice were housed in an approved facility under standard conditions with a 12-hour light / dark cycle. Food and water were freely provided throughout the experimental process. Male BALB / c athymia nu / nu mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory (USA). Before inoculation, 4 × 10⁶ LNCaP cells were administered. 7Cells were suspended at a density of cells / mL in a 1:1 mixture of PBS (VWR, USA) and Matrigel (BDBiosciences, USA). Each mouse received 0.25 mL of the cell suspension subcutaneously into the left flank. Animals were monitored twice a week until a palpable tumor appeared. LNCaP xenograft tumors are [ 64 This was clearly visualized with Cu]Cu-RPS-085 (Figure 3). Renal clearance was the primary pathway for elimination, resulting in initial uptake of the compound in the kidneys and bladder. Background tissue radioactivity was low. Uptake in tumors and kidneys was predicted by drawing ROIs around each tissue. According to this semi-quantitative method, radioactivity within the tumor was highest at 3-hour pi but remained substantially stable over the 48-hour imaging window. By 6-hour pi, uptake in the tumor had surpassed that of the kidneys, and by 24 hours, only the tumor could be visualized by micro-PET / CT.
[0100] Tumor size is 200-500 mm 3 When the range was reached, the mice (n=4) had 21.2±0.5MBq[ 64 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was administered intravenously. The total mass of the dose received by each animal was approximately 300 ng (185 pmol). Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and imaged with micro-PET / CT (Inveon®; Siemens Medical Solutions, USA) at 1, 3, 6, 24, and 48 hours after injection (pi). The total acquisition time was 30 minutes. A CT scan was obtained immediately before the PET acquisition for both anatomical co-registration and attenuation correction. Images were reconstructed using Inveon® software provided by the vendor.
[0101] Biomedical distribution and dose measurement The tumor size is approximately 200 mm. 3 Once it reaches this point, the mouse (n=4 / time point) receives 3.8±0.1MBq[ 64 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 or 0.8±0.005MBq[67 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was administered by intravenous injection. The total mass of the dose received by each animal was [ 64 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 and [ 67 For the experiment with Cu]Cu-RPS-085, the amounts were approximately 50 ng (31 pmol) and approximately 28 ng (17 pmol), respectively. The mice were ([ 64 Cu]Cu-RPS-085) for 4 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours pi or ([ 67 The animals were euthanized at 4, 24, and 96 hours pi of Cu]Cu-RPS-085. Blood samples were collected, and the following tissues were collected and weighed by wet mass using a digital balance: heart, lungs, liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, muscle, bone, and tumor. Tissue was counted against a 1% injection volume of the standard using a Wizard2 Automatic Gamma Counter (Perkin Elmer, USA). The counts were corrected for decay and injected radioactivity, and tissue uptake was expressed as a percentage per gram of injected dose (%ID / g). The mean standard error (SEM) was calculated for each data point. Statistical analysis was performed using an unpaired t-test with GraphPadPrism software. P values of 0.05 or less were considered significant. Table 1 below shows the concentrations of [67Cu]Cu-RPS-085 found in the blood, heart, lungs, liver, small intestine, large intestine, stomach, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, muscles, and bones at 4, 24, and 96 hours after injection (n=4 per time point). Published values for [177Lu]Lu-RPS-063 are shown for comparison; all concentrations are expressed as a percentage of the amount injected per organ.
[0102] [Table 1]
[0103] Data for dose measurement calculations were based on the average of 4-5 animals at 4, 24, and 96 hours after each injection. Percentages of injected dose per organ were first obtained in the blood, heart, lungs, liver, small intestine, large intestine, stomach, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, muscle, bone, tumor, and tail. Biodistribution data were fitted using a power function over the first 96 hours. Concentrations were interpolated at 2-hour intervals using the power function for each organ to obtain better predictions of the rate. The integration time was further extended by 96 hours, assuming that the percentage of injected dose per organ remained constant after the first 96 hours, and that the only change in concentration between 96 and 192 hours was due to radioactive decay. The integral was then obtained at 2-hour intervals using a trapezoidal approximation. The interval integral was scaled to a complete integral to obtain better predictions. These residence times were used to predict absorbed doses to human subjects using an adult human male model with the OLINDA program without bladder clearance. The doses to the remaining body parts were not used in this calculation.
[0104] In tumors and tumor-to-background ratios, [ 64 The uptake of Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was quantified after biological distribution experiments. Figure 4 shows the uptake of [Cu]Cu-RPS-085 in male Balb / Cnu / nu mice carrying LNCaP xenotransplantation. 64 This shows the biological distribution of Cu]Cu-RPS-085. In mice (n=4 / time point), 3.8±0.1 MBq[ 64Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was administered intravenously, and the subjects were sacrificed at 4, 24, or 48 hours prior to administration. The radioactivity of each tissue was determined by comparison with a 1% ID radioactivity standard and expressed as %ID / g ± SEM. Statistical significance is indicated by * (P < 0.05) and ** (P < 0.01). Peak tumor uptake was observed at 4 hours prior to administration (12.9 ± 1.4% ID / g), but clearance at 24 hours prior to administration (8.3 ± 0.8% ID / g) and 48 hours prior to administration (9.8 ± 1.3% ID / g) was not statistically significant (P > 0.15). In comparison, radioactivity in the kidney was eliminated from 13.7 ± 2.3% ID / g at 4 hours prior to administration to 2.4 ± 0.4% ID / g at 24 hours prior to administration, and further clearance to 1.6 ± 0.1% ID / g at 48 hours prior to administration. Radioactivity in all other tissues, including the liver, was less than 0.5% ID / g at all time points. 64 The distribution of Cu]Cu-RPS-085 resulted in a tumor-to-kidney ratio of 0.9±0.2 at 4-hour pi, which significantly increased to 3.4±0.7 at 24-hour pi and 6.1±0.8 at 48-hour pi (P<0.02). The tumor-to-blood ratio was 230±33 at 4-hour pi and exceeded 400. The tumor-to-muscle ratio exceeded 500 at all observed time points.
[0105] Figure 5 shows the [ 67 This shows the biological distribution of Cu]Cu-RPS-085. In mice (n=4 / time point), 0.8±0.005 MBq[ 67 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was administered intravenously, and the animals were sacrificed at 4-hour, 24-hour, or 96-hour pi. Radioactivity in each tissue was determined by comparison with a 1% ID radioactivity standard and expressed as %ID / g ± SEM. Statistical significance is indicated by * (P<0.05) and ** (P<0.01). 67 The biological distribution of Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was observed at 4-hour and 24-hour time intervals. 64The biodistribution of Cu]Cu-RPS-085 closely mimics that of tumors. The primary tissues where the radioactive ligand accumulated were tumors and kidneys (Figure 5). At these time points, tumor uptake was 12.5±2.7%ID / g and 7.9±0.9%ID / g, respectively. Radioactivity in the kidney was 19.7±5.0%ID / g and 4.5±0.8%ID / g, respectively. These values are [ 64 The values obtained were not significantly higher than those obtained in the Cu]Cu-RPS-085 experiment (P>0.06). By 96 hours pi, the radioactivity in the tumor had decreased to 5.1±3.3%ID / g, and the radioactivity in the kidney was 1.7±0.3%ID / g. At this point, the tumor-to-kidney ratio was 3.0±0.5. The predicted absorbed dose to the tumor over 192 hours was 14319 mSv / MBq. In comparison, the dose absorbed by the kidney was 884 mSv / MBq, representing a reduction of at least 1 / 16. The total absorbed dose was 14.5 mSv / MBq, and no other tissue exceeded 65 mSv / MBq (Table 2).
[0106] [Table 2]
[0107] PSMA-targeted imaging and staging for primary prostate cancer and recurrent disease 68 The values for Ga-labeled small molecules are becoming well established. Nevertheless, the short half-life (t) of this radioactive isotope remains a concern. 1 / 2 (=68 minutes) prevents the quantification of radioactive ligand distribution beyond several hours post-injection. Consequently, gallium-68 is an incomplete fit for predicting pre-therapy dose measurements prior to targeted radioactive ligand therapy using lutetium-177 (t 1 / 2 =6.65 days). Therefore, to quantify the radioactive ligand distribution and predict the absorbed dose, In-111(t) is used as a substitute for Lu-177. 1 / 2Dosimetry experiments can also be conducted using (=2.81 days) or using low-dose Lu-177 itself. These experiments increase the number of times radioactive material is administered to the patient and may suffer from lower imaging accuracy compared to PET imaging using Ga-68. In addition, even if the delivery vector is the same 、68 Ga-, 111 In-, and 177 The distribution of Lu-labeled radioligands can vary. From this perspective, it is preferable to use "sister" radioisotopes, such as Y-86 / Y-90, Sc-44 / Sc-47, and Cu-64 / Cu-67, for quantitative imaging and therapy. The physical properties of copper-64 and copper-67, including well-matched half-lives, emission of short-range particles with ideal energy for PET imaging and therapy, and the absence of simultaneous photon emission (Table 3), are ideal for theranostic use. Furthermore, the high radioactivity of these two radionuclides can be obtained with high radionuclide purity. This allows for the use of: 64 / 67 This facilitates the supply of Cu-labeled radioactive ligands to centers located far from production sites.

[0109] To fully utilize the potential of Cu-64 / Cu-67 theranostics, efficient and stable chelation of radioactive metals is necessary. In contrast, 64 The Cu(II)-DOTA complex is probably 64 Cu(II) 64 Although it is unstable in vivo as a result of reduction to Cu(I), the cross-linked macrocyclic chelating agent exhibits greater complex stability. The bifunctionalized 3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo[6.6.6]icosane is known as a chelating agent and sarcofadin, and when conjugated to a peptide or peptide dimer, 64 Cu 2+It has been shown to form an extremely stable complex. The applicants have confirmed that the MeCOSar chelating agent enables the rapid and efficient labeling of small molecules RPS-085 at low concentrations (<10 μM) with either copper 64 or copper 67 under mild conditions. Ligand concentration 10 -7 M or Cu 2+ MeCOSar's ability to quantitatively complexize compounds is a major advantage of MeCOSar over other commercially available chelating agents, as it can be translated into a substantial increase in the molar radioactivity of radiolabeled compounds. 64 / 67 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 is stable in solution for longer than 24 hours at room temperature. This is because it is stable in the field. 68 Ge / 68 It supports centralized production and distribution to centers that do not have a Ga generator. The radioactive ligand is stable in human plasma for longer than 24 hours at 37°C, [ 64 / 67 Cu]Cu 2+ The absence of radioactivity in the mouse liver, a major organ where radioactivity accumulates, provides further evidence of the complex's in vivo stability.
[0110] A challenging aspect of developing theranostic ligands is the need to balance optimal pharmacokinetics for imaging, such as rapid tissue distribution and clearance from the blood, while maintaining progression and sustained tumor loading, and simultaneously achieving optimal therapeutic characteristics, such as clearance from normal tissue. This challenge has been previously described for low molecular weight ligands. 64 This is evident in the pharmacokinetics of Cu-labeled PSMA inhibitors. Phosphoramidate ligands with rapid clearance from the blood and kidneys also show low uptake in LNCaP xenograft tumors, with washout almost complete by 48-hour pi, a trend also observed with urea-based ligands in PC3-PIP xenograft tumors. This latter ligand family is best suited for PET imaging at later time points. 64Cu]Cu-RPS-085 exhibits excellent imaging characteristics even at early time points, including high tumor uptake and rapid clearance from background, resulting in a high tumor-to-background ratio up to 4 hours pi. Furthermore, since the radioactivity in the tumor remains stable for a long period, up to 48 hours pi, imaging at later time points, i.e., 24 hours, can be performed to explore increased contrast against the background without increasing the patient's radiation exposure. Such concepts have already been established. 64 [Cu]Cu-PSMA-617 has been clinically validated, enabling the acquisition of high-quality PET images beyond 17 hours after injection.
[0111] A second challenging aspect of small molecule ligand design is the inability to accurately and comprehensively predict the complete impact of structural changes on compound pharmacokinetics. Previously, the inventors and others demonstrated that altering the lengths of the linker conjugating the PSMA-binding group, the metal chelate moiety, and the albumin-binding group affects both tumor uptake and retention, as well as renal clearance and retention. In addition, different albumin-binding groups on the fixed linker structure also profoundly affect clearance from the blood. Here, the applicants demonstrate that even when the chelating agent is not expected to contribute to either PSMA binding or albumin binding, alterations to the metal chelate moiety on the fixed structural platform also affect the ligand's pharmacokinetics. This finding has recently been described in smaller molecular scaffolds. The chelating agent appears to be responsible for a tenfold reduction in affinity to PSMA compared to DOTA-containing analogs. Furthermore, Cu 2+ -MeCOSar complex, +2, and Lu 3+ The overall charge of the -p-SCN-Bn-DOTA complex, -1, is different. Without being constrained by theory, this change in charge distribution may be involved in changes in the cooperativity of binding to these protein targets and in promoting changes in the compound's pharmacokinetics, particularly in renal clearance and retention.
[0112] The affinity for serum albumin, and therefore the radioactivity in the blood, was lower than predicted based on the structural similarities of RPS-085 to its previously reported homologous ligands. Consequently, no tumor loading progressing over time was observed. However, [ 67 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 was not significantly eliminated from the tumor over 24 hours, resulting in high accumulated radioactivity (A). Desorption from the tumor was evident up to 96 hours pi, with A at 699 (%ID / g)·hour. In parallel, clearance from the kidney was rapid. The accumulated radioactivity for the same time interval was 538 (%ID / g)·hour (Figure 6). Without being constrained by theory, this is likely due to both accelerated plasma clearance and a small reduction in affinity for PSMA compared to other trifunctional ligands. By comparison, [ 177 Lu]Lu-RPS-063 achieves substantially higher tumor integration of 1782 (%ID / g)·hours in the same animal model. However, this is accompanied by an A in the kidney of 4720 (%ID / g)·hours (Figure 6). These pharmacokinetics are reflected in the dose absorbed by the tumor and kidney. Over a period of 192 hours, the dose absorbed by the tumor was [ 67 For Cu]Cu-RPS-085, the dose absorbed by the kidneys is approximately 16 times greater, 177 It is 6.5 times larger than Lu]Lu-RPS-063. Furthermore, [ 67 The rapid clearance of Cu]Cu-RPS-085 is, 177 Compared to Lu]Lu-RPS-063, it results in a one-fifth reduction in the dose absorbed throughout the body. The applicants previously reported that it accumulates in LNCaP tumors. 177 Radioactivity of Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, A 腫瘍 The value was 544 (%ID / g)·hours over 96 hours, and the radioactivity A in the kidneys was 腎臓 It was determined that within the same window it was 260(%ID / g)·hours
[31] . 67 Cu]Cu-RPS-085 A 腫瘍 / A 腎臓 The ratio 1.3 is [177 Lu] Slightly lower than the ratio of PSMA-617, which is 2.1, A 腫瘍 It is 1.3 times larger. Therefore, [ 67 The therapeutic range of Cu]Cu-RPS-085 is [ 177 The therapeutic range of Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 is equivalent, 177 It could be much larger than Lu]Lu-RPS-063.
[0113] RPS-085 has promising characteristics as a potential ligand for radioligand therapy, but further benefits can be achieved by extending its plasma half-life. This approach is [ 64 It has recently been used to develop Cu]Cu-PSMA-ALB-89, and this [ 64 Cu]Cu-PSMA-ALB-89 has demonstrated progressive accumulation in xenograft tumors over 24 hours. However, high renal radioactivity and significant accumulation of radioactivity in the liver may hinder the conversion of this compound to RPS-085. The applicants recently explored an extended polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker as a way to modulate plasma pharmacokinetics, achieving accelerated renal clearance while maintaining tumor radioactivity. Incorporation of a bifunctionalized MeCOSar chelating agent into this molecular scaffold may further increase the dose delivered to the tumor.
[0114] Many PSMA-targeted ligands have been reported to be taken up by the salivary and lacrimal glands, and β - The toxicity of these structures, particularly due to the release of α-particles, limits the dose. Due to the small size of the salivary and lacrimal glands in mice, it is difficult to quantify the absorbed dose by imaging or biological distribution experiments. Therefore, the [ 67 It is not possible to quickly predict the possible toxicity of Cu]Cu-RPS-085. However, the β released by copper-67 - Since the particles are at an intermediate energy (141 keV), the predicted absorbed dose to normal tissue is similar to that of lutetium-177 and lower than that of iodine-131. 67Cu]Cu-RPS-085 is, in the same xenograft mouse model, [ 177 It is eliminated from normal tissue at a rate similar to that of Lu]Lu-PSMA-617. Therefore, toxicity to the salivary glands is at least that currently under clinical investigation. 177 I expect it won't be any worse than Lu-labeled PSMA ligand.
