Existing FAP inhibitors have problems in tumor treatment such as low affinity, short tumor retention time and insufficient specificity, which affect their effectiveness in diagnosis and treatment.
A metal complex of compound (I) was designed as a FAP binder for the preparation of imaging agents or therapeutic probes. By binding to tumor cells with high FAP expression, the tumor cells are killed by radionuclide decay, thereby improving the selectivity and retention time at the tumor site.
It achieves high affinity and long-term retention for tumors with high FAP expression, improving the sensitivity of tumor diagnosis and treatment efficacy, reducing damage to healthy tissues, and exhibiting a highly efficient selective tumor killing effect.

Abstract
Description
Long-acting fap binders, metal complexes and uses thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of radiopharmaceutical chemistry, in particular to a radioisotope labeled fibroblast activation protein (FAP) binder, metal complex and uses thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cancer is one of the major causes of public health safety, and it is causing an increasingly heavy burden on the global health system. Every year, there are more than 10 million people dying from cancer, accounting for one sixth of the global death toll. According to the cancer prediction data released by the WHO IARC Cancer Agency in 2024, it is estimated that the number of people dying from cancer worldwide will exceed 180 million by 2050, an increase of about 90% compared with the number of people in 2020, and the number of new cancer patients worldwide will reach 35 million, an increase of 81.4% compared with 2020. Global environmental problems and dietary problems are the reasons for the increase in this prediction index. Therefore, it is urgent to promote global anti-cancer treatment actions to solve the increasingly heavy health burden. With the rise and development of nuclear medicine, the use of nuclear medicine imaging technology can detect lesions in the whole body early and accurately, providing better diagnostic reference for clinicians in treatment. Nuclear medicine is a discipline that applies nuclear science and technology to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and its clinical applications are very wide, including diagnostic applications such as tumor, cardiovascular, brain, and skeletal imaging diagnosis; therapeutic applications include thyroid disease, tumor treatment, and targeted therapy. Through the combination of special drugs of radionuclides, it is called nuclear medicine. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an important component of tumor stroma, which stimulates hypoxia or activates oxidative stress to release growth factors. CAFs highly express surface markers such as fibroblast activation protein (FAP), which plays a key role in tumor occurrence, development, metastasis, and treatment resistance. FAP is a type II transmembrane serine protease belonging to the prolyl oligopeptidase family, which is highly expressed on the surface of 90% of epithelial tumor CAFs and some sarcoma cells (fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, etc.). It is also highly expressed in diseases characterized by interstitial tissue activation, such as infectious, inflammatory, fibrotic diseases, and healing wounds, while it is not expressed or expressed at low levels in normal tissues and benign tumor stroma. Molecular targeted drugs are drugs with a clear mechanism of action, and this mechanism has good differentiation between tumor cells and normal cells. FAP has the characteristics of high expression in various malignant tumors, high tumor uptake, and low normal tissue background, which can be used as an effective molecular target for tumor diagnosis and treatment. The development of FAP-specific inhibitors (FAPI), which only specifically bind to FAP, is a new class of radiopharmaceuticals that can be used as molecular targeted diagnostic and therapeutic probes, and has broad application prospects in clinical practice. Some FAP inhibitors (FAPI) have been developed, which are small molecule enzyme activity inhibitors.FAP inhibitors (FAPI) have high affinity and high tumor accumulation for FAP on the surface of CAF membrane, which can be used for PET imaging, has high sensitivity, and is conducive to the non-invasive early diagnosis, staging, differential diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of FAP expression positive diseases, and can promote the improvement of clinical diagnosis rate and treatment survival rate, but still needs to overcome the defects of low affinity, short tumor retention time and insufficient specificity for treatment.
[0003] Based on the high specific uptake of FAPI in tumors, the diagnosis and treatment integration targeting FAP has gradually become a new direction of current research. Targeted radioligand therapy can produce significant effects on tumor cells by combining targeted compounds with therapeutic radionuclides. When the drug binds to FAP-expressing fibroblasts, beta rays are generated by radionuclide decay, thereby killing tumor cells. This innovative therapy has less damage to surrounding healthy tissue cells and has a highly selective tumor-killing effect. At present, FAPI is mainly labeled with therapeutic radionuclides such as 177 Lu、 90 Y、 188 Re、 225 Ac, and the structure of FAPI is further optimized to improve the selectivity and retention time of tumors. Constructing dimer derivatives is a strategy to improve the tumor accumulation and retention time of FAPI, which has great significance in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors and can be used to design tumor-targeted internal irradiation therapy targeting FAP. However, research shows that the clearance of FAPI is the result of the interaction of multiple processes, and there is no definitive method to ensure retention time. On the other hand, repeated treatment with FAPI labeled with short half-life radionuclides such as 188 Re、 213 Bi may be a new research idea, which can significantly improve tumor-specific uptake and retention while maintaining rapid clearance of non-target organs in the body, and shows good tumor inhibition effect. The diagnosis and treatment integration FAPI probe has a very promising role in promoting the application of clinical tumor treatment. SUMMARY
