AI Technical Summary
Existing non-targeting fluorescent molecules are difficult to specifically target tumor tissue during tumor surgery, leading to tumor residue or over-resection. Furthermore, pteroic acid-based conjugate molecules are easily degraded in vivo, reducing their targeting ability.
A small molecule conjugate targeting folate receptor α was designed, and the chemical structure and in vivo metabolic stability of the fluorescent probe were optimized. The affinity for FR-α and imaging stability were improved by selecting a preferred targeting ligand.
This improved the in vivo metabolic and imaging stability of the fluorescent probe, enabling highly efficient targeting of tumor tissue and enhancing the accuracy of tumor boundary determination and surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Description
A fluorescent molecule targeting folic acid receptors, its preparation method and applications
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 2024119532600, filed on 2024 / 12 / 27. The entire contents of the aforementioned Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This invention belongs to the fields of targeted fluorescent probe technology and tumor diagnostic technology. Specifically, it relates to a fluorescent molecular conjugate that selectively targets the folate receptor, its preparation method, and its application in targeted tumor diagnosis, particularly in near-infrared surgical navigation. Background Technology
[0003] Surgical resection without positive surgical margins remains the cornerstone of solid tumor treatment. Surgeons primarily rely on intraoperative subjective assessment (such as tissue structure, texture, color, and feel) to distinguish tumor tissue from surrounding normal tissue, which easily leads to residual tumor or over-resection of normal tissue. Incomplete resection resulting in residual tumor is closely related to poor prognosis and cancer recurrence, while over-resection may damage surrounding normal tissue. Therefore, determining tumor boundaries is crucial. Targeted fluorescent probes can illuminate cancer cells in real time during surgery, helping doctors determine tumor boundaries and detect metastases; this concept is also known as fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS). Currently, non-targeted fluorescent molecules such as indocyanine green (ICG) and methylene blue (MB) are used in clinical practice as fluorescent contrast agents to mediate surgical procedures, but due to a lack of specific targeting to tumor tissue, their detection rate and false negative rate still have room for improvement.
[0004] Folate receptors (FRs) are common tumor-targeting receptors belonging to the glycoprotein family. They have a molecular weight of 35–40 kDa and several subtypes, including α, β, and γ. The α subtype is overexpressed in various human cancers, such as ovarian cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and brain cancer. Fluorescent dyes that bind to groups targeting FR-α can specifically accumulate in FR-overexpressing tumor tissues, while healthy tissues show low background fluorescence levels. Therefore, FR-α is an ideal target for intraoperative imaging. Thus, although folate receptor-targeting conjugates such as vintafolide and EC150, developed as therapeutic drugs, have repeatedly faced market setbacks, folic acid and its analogues are still frequently used in the design of tumor-targeting diagnostic probes, such as OTL038 (pafolacianine), which has already been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
[0005] Folic acid receptor-targeting near-infrared fluorescent small molecule conjugates have shown promising application prospects in clinical applications, especially in near-infrared surgical navigation. However, due to the presence of sites in their structural fragments that are susceptible to attack by metabolic enzymes, these conjugate molecules may undergo degradation in vivo due to reactions such as de-targeting of the ligand and removal of the pteridine ring, thereby reducing their targeting efficacy and diminishing their advantages over classic fluorescent contrast agents.
[0006] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop molecular fluorescent probes that are structurally stable, achieve specific targeting of tumor tissues with high affinity, and are metabolically stable in vivo. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a fluorescent probe molecule for targeting folate receptor-positive tumor tissues. This invention optimizes the in vivo metabolic stability of the targeted fluorescent molecule by selecting the targeting ligand of the small molecule conjugate, potentially improving its imaging window and enhancing imaging stability; alternatively, the fluorescent probe molecule of this invention exhibits improved chemical structural stability and affinity for FR-α as a drug; or, the fluorescent probe molecule of this invention can serve as a product replacement for OTL038, with different chemical structures but at least comparable to OTL038 in terms of affinity, structural stability, and imaging capabilities.

[0112] In this paper, the numerical ranges defined in the substituents, such as 5-10, 6-8, 5-6, 1-6, 1-4, etc., indicate the integers within that range. For example, 1-6 means 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, and 1 to 3 means 1, 2 or 3.
[0113] Those skilled in the art will understand that, according to conventions used in the art, the structural formulas of the groups described in this invention are... This refers to the fact that the corresponding group R is linked to other fragments or groups in the compound through this site.
[0114] When a listed group does not explicitly indicate that it has a substituent, the group refers only to the unsubstituted group. For example, when "C1-C6 alkyl" is not limited to "substituted or unsubstituted", it refers only to "C1-C6 alkyl" itself or "unsubstituted C1-C6 alkyl".
[0115] The "halogen" mentioned in this invention refers to F, Cl, Br, and I.
[0116] In this invention, the term "alkylene" refers to a straight-chain or branched, saturated divalent hydrocarbon group having a specified number of carbon atoms (e.g., C1-C6). The alkylene group in this invention is preferably a C1-C6 alkylene group, more preferably a C1-C4 alkylene group, and the alkylene group includes, but is not limited to:
[0117] The term "aryl" as used in this invention refers to a monocyclic or bicyclic group with 6-10 carbon atoms, wherein at least one ring in the system is aromatic (e.g., a 6-carbon monocyclic ring, a 10-carbon bicyclic ring, etc.); and wherein 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 atoms of each ring may be substituted with substituents. Examples of aryl groups also include phenyl, naphthyl, etc.

It can be monocyclic or polycyclic, and the polycyclic ring can be fused, spirocyclic, or bridged. Each ring of the heteroaryl is aromatic. The heteroaryl in this invention can be a 5-10 member heteroaryl having 1-4 heteroatoms independently selected from N, O, and S, preferably a 5-6 member heteroaryl having 1-2 heteroatoms independently selected from N and O. Examples of heteroaryl include pyridyl, indolyl, indazole, furanyl, benzofuranyl, oxazolyl, tetrazolyl, etc.
[0119] The term "cycloalkyl" as used in this invention refers to a saturated monocyclic, spirocyclic, bridged, or fused cyclic group having a specified number of carbon atoms in the ring (e.g., 5–10, 6–8), with the ring atoms consisting solely of carbon atoms, preferably a bridged ring.

The heterocyclic alkenyl contains one or more unsaturated double bonds and is not aromatic.
[0121] The "aromaticity" described in this invention refers to a specific chemical property, namely, the tendency to readily undergo electrophilic substitution rather than electrophilic addition. From a molecular structure perspective, aromatic compounds tend to have more evenly distributed carbon-carbon single and double bond lengths, exhibit coplanarity, possess larger conjugation energies (delocalization energies), and have more stable molecular structures. In this invention, the aromaticity of compounds is determined using Hückel's rule.

[0411] The fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) of the compound of the present invention was determined using a reference method in PBS (pH 7.4). F Indocyanine Green (ICG) using the same buffer solution was used as a reference. At pH 7.4, the fluorescence quantum yield of ICG was 0.09. ICG and the compound of this invention were serially diluted to obtain eight concentration points, which were measured by transferring to a quartz cuvette. A METTLER UV5Bio UV spectrophotometer was used for full-spectrum scanning, with absorption peak values controlled below 0.1. Further, the emission spectra at 780 nm excitation were measured using an Aglient Technologies Cary Eclipse fluorescence spectrometer, and the fluorescence emission intensity area was calculated and fitted with the absorbance values at the corresponding concentrations to obtain the corresponding slopes. The fluorescence quantum yield calculation formula is as follows: QY S =((QY) R *K S *η S 2 ) / (K R *η R 2 *100%, QY represents the quantum yield, η represents the refractive index of the solvent, K represents the slope of the linear fitting curve of integrated fluorescence intensity and absorbance, and the subscripts R and S represent the reference and sample, respectively; the relative fluorescence quantum yield is the data obtained after normalization based on ICG. The results show that the fluorescence quantum yield of this series of compounds is significantly higher than that of the marketed drug ICG, better than or at the same level as the marketed drug OTL-038, and better than PMX.

By monitoring the molecular binding process in real time, the system measures the binding and dissociation constants, and then calculates and analyzes the affinity (K0) through fitting. D Take one vial (25 μg) of biotinylated human FOLR1 recombinant protein, bring it to room temperature, add 125 μl of deionized water, mix well, and then dilute to 5 μg / ml with dilution buffer 1 (Qbuffer: 1×PBS with 0.02% Tween-20 (P1379, Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.2% BSA (B2064, Sigma-Aldrich), pH 7.4). Then, perform serial dilutions with dilution buffer 2 (PBST: 1×PBS with 0.05% Tween-20 + 1% DMSO, pH 7.4) to obtain 5 concentration points (100 uM-3.125 uM). The SMAP biosensor (probe) (160011, Gator) was pre-wetted in dilution buffer 1 for 300 seconds and a baseline was established for 60 seconds. The diluted recombinant protein was then immobilized onto the probe to a height of 4.2 nm. The probe was first subjected to another 60-second baseline establishment in dilution buffer 1, followed by a 30-second baseline establishment in dilution buffer 2.

[0419] A stable transfection system for FRα knockdown of folate was constructed by infecting KB cells (Nanjing Kebai Biotechnology) with the lentivirus pLKO-Tet-On-puro-shFOLR1. Untreated KB cells served as the control group. 6*10 cells were seeded in 24-well plates. 4 Cells / well, incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2 for cell adhesion, diluted the compound to the target concentration with fresh medium (L540KJ, BasalMedia) and added to 24-well plates, incubated at 37°C in the dark for 1 h, aspirated the medium and washed with PBS, digested with trypsin and then subjected to flow cytometry. NxT, Life Technologies (using APC-Cy7 channel) was used for detection. The results showed that the binding ability of compound 3 of the present invention to target cells was significantly reduced after FRα knockdown. FRα is the main receptor for its binding to target cells, and the FL part (S0456) in its structure did not make a major contribution to its binding ability to FRα.

[0464] Experimental Method: 15 μL of compound 3 working solution was mixed with 1185 μL of mouse, rat, dog, monkey, and human liver S9 working solutions, respectively. 200 μL of each solution (n=3) was transferred to a 96-well plate and pre-incubated at 37°C for 5 minutes. 50 μL of cofactor solution was added to 200 μL of the incubated sample to initiate the reaction. After mixing, 30 μL of the sample was quickly added to an organic solvent solution containing the internal standard to terminate the reaction; this was the 0-minute sample. At 5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes, 30 μL of the sample was added to an organic solvent solution containing the internal standard to terminate the reaction. The precipitated sample was vortexed and centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected for LC-MS analysis. The peak area ratio of the analyte to the internal standard was used to calculate the half-life T. 1 / 2 Including inherent clearance rate, etc.

[0468] Test Example 14: CYP Metabolic Enzyme Phenotypic Study
[0469] Human CYP recombinase: Add 5 μL of Compound 3 working solution to 495 μL of different isotype human recombinase working solutions and mix well (n=1). Take 60 μL of the solution (n=3) and pre-incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes. Then add 60 μL of 2 mM NADPH solution (for samples containing NADPH) or phosphate buffer solution (for samples without NADPH) and mix well. Quickly take 30 μL of the sample and add it to 200 μL of organic solution containing internal standard to precipitate the protein, as the 0-minute sample (sample placed on ice), and start timing simultaneously. At 60 minutes, take 30 μL of the sample and add it to acetonitrile containing 60 μL of 5 mM sodium acetate solution and 200 μL of 100 ng / mL internal standard to terminate the reaction. Vortex and centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes. Dilute the supernatant with 2 volumes of 0.01% ammonia and analyze by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
[0470] Human liver microsomes: Add 318 μL of liver microsome working solution containing compound 3 to an incubation tube (n=3). Add 2 μL of inhibitor working solution to the corresponding tube and pre-incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes. For samples without inhibitor, add 2 μL of inhibitor solvent as a substitute. Add 80 μL of 5 mM NADPH solution to start the reaction. For samples without NADPH, add 80 μL of phosphate buffer as a substitute. Quickly remove 30 μL of sample and add it to 200 μL of organic solution containing internal standard to precipitate the protein, as the 0-minute sample (sample placed on ice), and start timing simultaneously. At the 60-minute time point, remove 30 μL of sample and add it to acetonitrile containing 60 μL of 5 mM sodium acetate solution and 200 μL of 100 ng / mL internal standard, respectively, to terminate the reaction.

[0472] Table 17 Results of the metabolic enzyme phenotype study of compound 3 in recombinant enzymes
[0473] Table 18 Results of the metabolic enzyme phenotype study of compound 3 in human liver microsomes
[0474] Note: In Tables 17 and 18, if the remaining amount of FZ-P001 is ≥94.1%, then the metabolic amount treatment is 0.0.
[0475] Compound 3 (1 μM) was co-incubated with seven human recombinant enzymes of CYP enzyme isotypes (100 pmol / mL) for 60 minutes with or without NADPH, and the remaining percentage of compound 3 was determined. Compared with 0 minutes, the average remaining percentage of compound 3 in the seven human recombinant enzyme isotypes ≥101.7% under NADPH-added conditions, indicating that none of these seven enzymes are the major metabolic enzymes of compound 3.
[0476] Compound 3 (1 μM) was co-incubated with human liver microsomes (0.5 mg / mL) for 60 minutes with or without the addition of CYP enzyme-specific inhibitors. The remaining percentage of compound 3 was then determined, and the metabolic rate and inhibition rate were further calculated. The remaining amount of compound 3 was ≥94.1% with or without the addition of the specific inhibitors for each of the seven enzymes, indicating no inhibitory effect. These results suggest that none of the seven enzymes are the major metabolic enzymes of FZ-P001.
[0477] Conclusion: Under the conditions of this experiment, compound 3 was not metabolized by CYP enzymes.
