Abstract
Description
A targeted fibroblast activation protein binding compound, isotope label and use thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radiopharmaceutical chemistry, and in particular to a targeted fibroblast activation protein binding compound, an isotope label and uses thereof. Background Art
[0002] The 2020 global cancer data released by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) showed that in 2020, there were 4.57 million new cases of cancer and 3 million deaths in my country, far exceeding other countries. The use of nuclear medicine imaging technology to detect lesions early and accurately throughout the body can provide clinicians with better reference for treatment.
[0003] Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a type II membrane-bound glycoprotein that belongs to the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 family. FAP has both dipeptidyl peptidase and endopeptidase activities. FAP plays a vital role in the tumor microenvironment, including reducing anti-angiogenic factors, increasing transforming growth factor β, and affecting matrix processing enzymes. FAP is overexpressed in fibroblasts in the tumor stroma. Tumor-associated fibroblasts are an important component of the tumor microenvironment and can account for 90% of the total tumor mass in desmoplastic tumors. The amount of FAP expressed by them is much higher than that of normal tissues, making FAP a good molecular target for tumors. Isotope label of FAP inhibitor (FAPI) 68 Ga-FAPI has very low background activity, especially in the brain, liver, and abdominal cavity. The high tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) leads to high contrast of lymphoma lesions, which is beneficial for detecting involvement of the brain, liver, or oropharynx. WO2021160825A mentions fibroblast activation protein ligands for targeted delivery applications, and WO2023057457A mentions radiolabeled fibroblast activation protein ligands. The above-mentioned compounds are only suitable for use in optical imaging with fluorescent group molecules. Summary of the Invention

Such analogs have modified R' groups or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids. In a particular embodiment, the amino acids are selected from naturally occurring amino acids.
[0058] The term "isotopic compound" means that the compounds of the present invention may exist in isotopically enriched form, containing one or more isotopes having different masses and mass numbers from the most common atomic mass in nature.
[0059] The term "isotopically labeled" refers to a substance containing one or more isotopic atoms that have different mass and mass number from the most common atomic mass in nature.

Purification and isolation of such substances can be achieved by standard techniques known in the art.
[0066] Optically pure enantiomers can be obtained by resolving racemic mixtures according to conventional methods, for example, by forming diastereomeric salts with optically active acids or bases, or by forming covalent diastereomers. Mixtures of diastereomers can be separated into individual diastereomers based on their physical and / or chemical differences by methods known in the art (e.g., by chromatography or fractional crystallization). The optically active enantiomer base or acid is then released from the separated diastereomeric salts. Another method for separating racemic enantiomers can be chiral chromatography (e.g., a chiral HPLC column), and the separated chiral isomers can be subjected to conventional derivatization treatment or not prior to separation, depending on which method can achieve more efficient separation of the chiral isomers.

[0271] Test Example 1
[0272] This study used enzyme kinetics and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) binding assays to assess the binding affinity of the compounds to FAP. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0273] 1.1 Protease activity inhibition
[0274] Enzyme kinetics assays (or protease activity assays) were performed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of different FAP inhibitors (including FAPI-FUSCC-05, FAPI-FUSCC-06, FAPI-FUSCC-07, and FAPI-FUSCC-08). The experimental steps are as follows:
[0275] First, DPP fluorescent substrate (BPS Bioscience, 80305) was diluted from 0.5 mM to 100 μM using DPP assay buffer (BPS Bioscience, 80300). Recombinant human fibroblast activation protein (FAP, BPS Bioscience, 80100) was diluted in DPP assay buffer to a final concentration of 25 ng / μL, providing 250 ng of FAP protein per reaction. Compounds (FAPI-FUSCC-05, FAPI-FUSCC-06, FAPI-FUSCC-07, FAPI-FUSCC-08) were diluted in serum-free DMEM to a final concentration of 10 -7 M, and then serially diluted in ten-fold increments to 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M, 10 -10 M, 10 -11 M and 10 -12 M. Each concentration was tested in triplicate in a black 96-well plate.
[0276] Next, 10 μL of the diluted FAP protein solution was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for 10 minutes. After incubation, 5 μL of DPP substrate was added to each well. Fluorescence was immediately measured using a multi-functional microplate reader at an excitation wavelength of 360 nm and an emission wavelength of 460 nm. The fluorescence signal in each well was captured. A blank control without FAP protein or DPP substrate was used as a negative control.
[0277] Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9.0 software, and the IC50 value of each test compound was calculated by nonlinear regression fitting.
[0278] 1.2 Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) binding experiments
[0279] Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was performed to assess the binding affinity of compounds FAPI-FUSCC-05, FAPI-FUSCC-06, FAPI-FUSCC-07, and FAPI-FUSCC-08 to FAP. Recombinant human FAP protein (His tag) (ab316637, Abcam) was immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip using an amine coupling kit (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The CM5 chip was activated with a 1:1 mixture of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC), and the FAP protein was then immobilized in sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.5). Excess active groups were blocked with ethanolamine (pH 8.0).
[0280] Compounds (FAPI-FUSCC-05, FAPI-FUSCC-06, FAPI-FUSCC-07, FAPI-FUSCC-08) were prepared in electrophoresis buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 0.005% Tween-20, pH 7.4) and injected onto the FAP-coated chip at various concentrations (e.g., 0.1-10 μM) in a serial dilution series. The flow rate was set at 30 μL / min, and the association and dissociation phases were monitored for 120 and 300 seconds, respectively, using a blank flow cell as a reference.
[0281] Data were analyzed using a Biacore T200 system (GE Healthcare) and fitted to a 1:1 Langmuir binding model to determine the equilibrium dissociation constant (K D The sensor chip was regenerated with 10 mM glycine-HCl (pH 2.5) between each cycle. All experiments were performed in triplicate to ensure reproducibility.
[0282] HPLC analysis was performed using a gradient elution method on an Agilent 1200 system equipped with a flow-through gamma detector (Raytest GABI). The mobile phase consisted of buffer A (water containing 0.1% TFA) and buffer B (acetonitrile containing 0.1% TFA). The gradient program was as follows: buffer A decreased from 90% to 67.5% over 15 minutes, and buffer B increased from 10% to 32.5%.

[0285] Test Example 2 Al 18 Uptake of F-FAPI-FUSCC series compounds in HT-1080 cells
[0286] HT-1080-FAP and HT-1080-WT cells were counted and quantitatively incubated in DMEM medium in 24-well cell culture plates for 24 h (approximately 5 × 10 cells per well). 4 After the cells adhered to the wall, the culture medium in the well was replaced with a radioactive labeled compound (Al 18 F-FAPI-FUSCC-05、Al 18 F-FAPI-FUSCC-06、Al 18 F-FAPI-FUSCC-07 or Al 18 F-FAPI-FUSCC-08) culture medium (18.5KBq, 0.5mL) and incubated at 37°C for 1, 2, and 4h (n=6). After incubation, the culture medium in the wells was removed and washed 3 times with PBS. 500μl 0.5M NaOH was added to lyse the adherent cells and the lysate was collected. The radioactivity was measured in counts per minute (CPM) using a γ counter. The results of cell uptake were expressed as the percentage of γ counts contained in the lysate to the total counts in the well. The experimental results are shown in Figure 13. In the 1h blocking group, an excess of DOTA-FAPI-04 (CAS: 2374782-02-0, purchased from Shanghai Jiabiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) (5μg per well) was added to the culture medium to demonstrate the specific uptake of the labeled compound by HT-1080-FAP. The above results show that Al 18 F-FAPI-FUSCC-05、Al 18 F-FAPI-FUSCC-06、Al 18 F-FAPI-FUSCC-07 and Al 18 F-FAPI-FUSCC-08 mediates its uptake by HT-1080-FAP cells by specifically binding to FAP.
