Description

Preparation and application of prostate-specific membrane antigen small molecule inhibitor and radionuclide complex thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of nuclear medicine, in particular to the preparation and application of a prostate-specific membrane antigen small molecule inhibitor and radionuclide complex thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the incidence of prostate cancer in China has increased significantly, and has become the fastest growing disease among all malignant tumors.

[0003] Early imaging diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer has become an urgent problem to be solved in China and even the whole world. Prostate cancer begins to occur in the tissue around the prostate, and as it grows, it gradually metastasizes to other important organs such as the lungs and the bone. In the early stage, there are no obvious symptoms, but as the prostate cancer grows, it can cause problems such as urethral compression and urinary tract obstruction, and further metastasize to the spine or pelvis. For the diagnosis of prostate cancer, imaging diagnosis methods such as SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) and PET (positron emission tomography) are currently being used, the principle of which is to use a polypeptide substance labeled with a gamma-ray or positron emitting radioisotope targeting PSMA, and to display the presence and distribution of tumor cells in the tomographic image and three-dimensional image by prostate cancer specific targeting distribution. These imaging diagnosis methods have recently been greatly promoted due to the development of SPECT-CT / MRI and PET-CT / MRI combined with CT or MRI, which has greatly improved image quality. The current radio-pharmaceuticals used for prostate cancer specific imaging are PSMA ligands as targeting groups, which can bind to the protein PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) specifically expressed in prostate cancer. PSMA is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase, and is a prostate cancer specific molecular marker, with expression levels in tumor tissues much higher than in normal tissues, and is overexpressed on the surface of almost all prostate cancer cells, and the expression is further increased in low differentiation, metastatic and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells, while the expression level in normal tissues such as the kidney, intestine and brain is more than 1000 times lower. PSMA has become an effective target for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

[0004] Currently, castration, anti-androgen castration methods and androgen receptor inhibitors are the mainstream treatment options for prostate cancer. Although these treatment options are very effective in the initial stage, a large number of patients will develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) or even metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

[0005] mCRPC is a disease with limited treatment options and significant unmet medical needs, so radiopharmaceuticals targeting PSMA have become a research hotspot in recent years. Representative ligands of PSMA are peptide derivatives such as Glu-urea-Lys (EUK) or Glu-urea-Cys (EUC). Therefore, by labeling a radioisotope on a peptide ligand containing such a peptide ligand, a radiopharmaceutical can be prepared for prostate cancer imaging by PET or SPECT, or for the treatment of prostate cancer (Meder, et al., Bioconjugate Chem 2012, 23: 688-697).

[0006] Nucleus-labeled small molecule inhibitors targeting PSMA have shown superior diagnostic and therapeutic properties in clinical trials. Ahmadzadehfar H et al. administered Lu177 (177Lu)-labeled PSMA-617 to 22 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and the results showed that 79.1% of the patients had a decrease in prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and 41.6% of the patients had a decrease in PSA of more than 50%. (Ahmadzadehfar H et al. Oncotarget. 2016; 7: 12477-88.) Kratochwil C et al. administered 177Lu-PSMA-617 to 30 patients with mCRPC, and the results showed that 70% of the patients had a decrease in PSA, and 43.3% of the patients had a decrease in PSA of more than 50%. Kratochwil C et al. also administered 225Ac-labeled PSMA617 to 2 patients with CRPC, and the results showed that both patients achieved complete image response (CR) and the PSA decreased to normal. (Kratochwil C et al. Society of Nuclear Medicine. 2017.)

[0007] A series of clinical studies have been carried out on radiopharmaceuticals using PSMA as a target to treat mCRPC patients, although the preliminary clinical results of radiopharmaceuticals such as 177Lu-PSMA-617 and 177Lu-PSMA-I&T are encouraging, there are still some problems, such as nearly 30% of patients have no response to this treatment method, and one possible explanation is that the unsatisfactory pharmacokinetics of the drug leads to insufficient radiopharmaceuticals being delivered to the tumor lesion.

[0008] Therefore, a high-activity and high-selectivity radiopharmaceutical targeting PSMA is a continuing hot spot in the field of treating and diagnosing mCRPC. The goal of the present application is to develop a ligand that interacts with PSMA and carries an appropriate radionuclide, which provides a promising and novel targeted selection for detecting, treating and managing prostate cancer. SUMMARY

The trend of tumor volume in each group is shown in Figure 11.

[0185] The above research results indicate that 177 Lu-M006 is expected to achieve the therapeutic effect of 177Lu-PSMA-617 at a lower dose in clinical practice, and has the potential to reduce the dosage, reduce the frequency of administration, further improve safety, and reduce treatment costs.

[0186] For medical institutions using radionuclides for disease diagnosis and treatment, the use of radionuclides is subject to strict quota management. 177 The potential dosage of Lu-M006 is significantly reduced, which will allow nuclear medicine wards to treat more patients and benefit more patients. At the same time, it will also significantly reduce the disposal of nuclear medicine waste, which has positive social benefits.
