Abstract
Description
Compounds targeting FAP, radionuclide-labeled complexes based thereon, and preparation methods and applications thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a compound targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP) as shown in formula (I), a radionuclide-labeled complex based thereon, and methods for preparing the same, and their use in preparing drugs for diagnosing, preventing and / or treating diseases characterized by high expression of FAP. Background Art
[0002] 90% of deaths among patients with malignant tumors are caused by tumor cell metastasis, but preventive or therapeutic strategies for tumor metastasis are still scarce. Tumors are complexes composed of tumor cells, surrounding stromal cells, and non-cellular components. The occurrence and development of tumors is a dynamic process in which tumor cells and their microenvironment promote each other and evolve together. The tumor microenvironment (TME) includes cells and extracellular matrix (ECM). The formed elements are mainly cellular components, including immune cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, etc. Among them, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the most important stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment, accounting for approximately 50% of the total number of tumor tissue cells. CAFs play an important role in tumor growth, metastasis, drug resistance, and treatment resistance, and are one of the hot topics in tumor diagnosis and treatment research.
[0003] In cancer, fibroblast activation protein (FAP) has emerged as a unique marker of tumor-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a key regulator and driver of the tumor microenvironment (TME). CAFs are one of the largest components of the TME, promoting tumor growth and cell invasion by secreting proinflammatory and growth factors and remodeling the ECM. In addition to cells within the TME, FAP expression can also be found in malignant epithelial cells. FAP promotes tumor growth through ECM remodeling, leading to the formation of an active cancer stroma, which is essential for cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Clinically, increased FAP expression has been observed in the invasive front of colorectal cancer samples, further supporting its role in invasion and metastasis. FAP also promotes the formation of an immunosuppressive TME by enabling tumor-promoting 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 melanomas. FAP expression is typically absent in benign and premalignant epithelial tumors, such as colorectal adenomas, breast phyllodes tumors, and fibroadenomas. FAP is not expressed in normal human tissues and is only found in the cervix and endometrium, where it is transiently expressed during embryonic development. Due to its important role in the TME, FAP has attracted increasing interest in using it as a target for imaging and therapy.
[0004] In recent years, many FAP inhibitors have entered clinical research, such as 68 Ga-FAPI-04, 68 Ga-FAPI-46, 68 Ga-oncoFAP-DOTAGA, 177 Lu-FAPI-04 and other therapeutic agents provide powerful tools for the precise localization and targeted destruction of various cancer lesions. However, their relatively short tumor retention time, low absolute tumor uptake, and rapid clearance from the body result in suboptimal uptake and imaging in tumors with low FAP expression. This also limits the cytotoxicity of long-half-life therapeutic radionuclides on target cells or tissues. Therefore, the development of FAP-targeted probes with enhanced tumor uptake, extended retention, low non-target tissue uptake, and rapid clearance is crucial for the advancement of integrated FAP-targeted diagnosis and treatment.
[0005] Summary of the Invention
[0006] FAP is selectively and highly expressed in over 90% of epithelial malignancies, making it an ideal target for developing tumor-targeted probes. Considering the low tumor uptake and short retention of existing FAP-targeting small molecule compounds, the present invention provides a compound represented by formula (I), which can simultaneously recognize different amino acid sites of FAP to enhance affinity and increase tumor uptake. Thus, it possesses high affinity for FAP and can be used to target FAP. Furthermore, the present invention discovered that radionuclide-labeled complexes based on this compound can specifically recognize the FAP target and increase tumor uptake, thereby improving tumor detection rate and / or therapeutic efficacy.

[0169] Control group: 150 μCi / 200 μL injected into the tail vein 68 Ga-FAPI-04.
[0170] Injection 68 PET / CT imaging was performed 0.5, 1, and 2 hours after Ga-ZC-1 to observe the distribution of the probe in the mouse body and its enrichment in the tumor area. The results are shown in Figures 4-6.
[0171] The results are shown in Figure 4. 68 Ga-ZC-1 PET imaging showed high tumor uptake and strong contrast between tumor and background. Even at 0.5 hours after injection, the accumulation in the tumor quickly reached 4.467±0.379% ID / g, and the signal gradually decreased after 1 hour after injection. 68 Ga-FAPI-04, a comparative and clinically used agent, showed much lower signal in tumors. 68 After 10.5 hours of Ga-ZC-1, the U87MG tumor in the left anterior armpit of the mouse was clearly visible. Blockade experiments showed that the uptake of the tumor was significantly reduced after the pre-injection of non-radioactive FAPI-04. This result shows that 68 The specific accumulation of Ga-ZC-1 in the body. 68 Ga-FAPI-04 was visible in the tumor 0.5 h after injection, but the uptake was almost the same as that in the liver. After that, the uptake in the tumor area decreased significantly, and there was no signal at 2 h. 68 Compared with Ga-FAPI-04, 68 The uptake of Ga-ZC-1 in the tumor area was significantly improved, and the tumor retention time was longer. 68 Ga-ZC-1 has the effect of in vivo tumor imaging.
[0172] Figure 5 is a statistical diagram of the distribution in vivo. The data in the figure show that after the injection of FAPI-04 as a blocking agent in advance, the 68 Ga-ZC-1, tumor part 68 The uptake of Ga-ZC-1 was significantly reduced, indicating that 68 Ga-ZC-1 can specifically target tumors with high FAP expression, and the tumor / brain distribution ratio is as high as 13. 68 Ga-ZC-1 and 68 The area under the curve (AUC) of Ga-FAPI-04 based on tumor uptake versus time was used for comparison 68 Ga-ZC-1 and 68 The size of the tumor uptake of Ga-FAPI-04 over time was 422.5 and 98.14, respectively, indicating that 68 Ga-ZC-1 retained tumors for a longer time.
