AI Technical Summary
The chelation stability of radionuclides in existing radiopharmaceuticals is insufficient, leading to instability of the labeled radiopharmaceuticals and the deposition of free nuclides in bone, hematopoietic tissue, or other organs, causing radiation damage. The lack of systematic regulation of metabolic properties during drug molecule development increases development costs. The chelation reaction of nuclides affects the activity of heat-sensitive targeted functional structures. The secondary decay of nuclides leads to the decomposition of chelated structures or the delabeling of decay daughter nuclei, causing toxic side effects.
The cage-like chelate structure, similar to a clam-like molecular structure, improves the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the metal complex in vivo, provides more connection sites, connects the target molecule and functional fragment, forms a targeted cage-like chelate ligand, and enhances the PKPD performance of the drug in vivo.
It improves the stability and targeting of radiopharmaceuticals, reduces the recoil nuclear effect of alpha nuclide decay, reduces toxic side effects, regulates in vivo distribution and metabolism, and improves drug-like properties.

Abstract
Description
Cage-like chelates, targeted cage-like chelating ligands and their complexes and applications
[0001] Related applications
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2024119910604, filed on December 31, 2024, entitled "Cage-like chelates, targeted cage-like chelating ligands and their complexes and applications", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of drug research with chelating structures, specifically to compounds and molecular fragments with chelating functions, compounds containing chelating structures and having targeting properties, their complexes and applications, particularly cage-like chelates, targeted cage-like chelating ligands and their complexes and applications. Background Technology
[0004] Radiopharmaceuticals (or "nuclear drugs") are a class of special drugs containing radioactive isotopes for medical diagnosis and treatment. They typically consist of a radioactive isotope paired with molecular reagents that specifically target particular organs and tissues. Radiopharmaceuticals utilize their targeted biological properties to reflect the state of diseased genes, molecules, metabolism, and function, enabling earlier and more specific insights into the molecular level of diseases. Furthermore, the radiation energy of the radioactive isotope can accurately kill tumors, making them a powerful tool for early disease diagnosis and precision treatment.
[0005] Radiopharmaceuticals consist of a chelating ligand linked to a targeted functional structure via a linker, which then chelates a radionuclide. This targeted functional structure can be an antibody, antibody fragment, small molecule, or peptide. These structures mediate the specific targeting of the entire drug molecule, delivering the radionuclide to the target site. Constructing therapeutic drugs by chelating different radionuclides with the same molecule is currently a hot topic in the industry. Therapeutic drugs allow the same targeting ligand and linker to be combined with radionuclides used for treatment or diagnostic imaging, respectively. Each therapeutic drug can have a corresponding diagnostic drug. After a patient is diagnosed with a disease, the appropriate drug can be used in conjunction with the treatment, saving time and improving efficiency.
[0006] However, several important technical problems still exist in the field of radiopharmaceuticals. First, the stability of radionuclide chelation is insufficient, resulting in instability of labeled radiopharmaceuticals and the deposition of free nuclides in bone, hematopoietic tissue, or other organs, causing radiation damage. Second, the regulation of metabolic properties during drug molecule development lacks systematic adjustment, leading to excessive randomness in the drug development process and significantly increasing development costs. Third, the reaction regulation of nuclide chelation is too stringent. Currently, commonly used DOTA-type chelating agents require heating during nuclide chelation, which affects the activity of heat-sensitive targeted functional structures (such as antibodies and antibody fragments), making it difficult to develop these highly active structures into radiopharmaceuticals. Fourth, secondary decay of nuclides can cause decomposition of the chelated structure or delabeling of decay daughter nuclei, leading to secondary distribution and toxic side effects. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the inventors of this application believe that a superior chelating structure can solve the problems in the development and application of radiopharmaceuticals. Therefore, this application aims to provide a novel chelating structure, namely a cage-like structure, which resembles a net or clam-like molecular structure. This structure is highly suitable for capturing metal elements and further improves the thermodynamic and kinetic in vivo stability of the metal complex, reducing organ toxicity caused by demetallization, particularly slowing down the recoil nuclear effect of alpha nuclide decay. Simultaneously, it possesses more connection sites, providing a basis for connecting more target molecules and functional fragments, thereby enabling the drug to have better PKPD in vivo and further improving the druggability of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals.
[0008] Based on this, this application discloses a cage-like chelate, wherein the chelating ligand compound is a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:
[0009] in,
[0010] K1, K2, and K3 contain heteroalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl atoms of O, S, P, or N; K1, K2, and K3 may be the same or different; where K1, K2, and K3 are heteroalkyl means that K1, K2, and K3 are composed of several R atoms. k It is formed by linking heteroatoms or heteroatom-containing groups, wherein R k Independently and arbitrarily selected from substituted or unsubstituted alkyl groups; preferably, R kSelected from substituted or unsubstituted methyl, substituted or unsubstituted ethyl, substituted or unsubstituted propyl; wherein K1, K2, and K3 are heteroalkylcycloalkyl groups, meaning that K1, K2, and K3 are 4-7 member substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl groups containing heteroatoms O, S, P, or N, preferably tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, tetrahydropyrrolyl, or piperazineyl; K1, K2, and K3 are heteroaryl groups, meaning that K1, K2, and K3 are substituted or unsubstituted 4-7 member heteroaryl groups containing heteroatoms O, S, P, or N, preferably furanyl, thiophenyl, pyrrolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, imidazolyl, pyridinyl, pyridinyl, isoxazolyl, diazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, isothiazolyl, or thiadiazolyl.
[0011] The N atom in Formula I is connected to H or a substituent.
[0012] The term "substituent" as used herein refers to the substitution or partial substitution of the hydrogen atom (H) on the nitrogen atom by a substituent or functional group. Here, "substitution" is optional, meaning that the substituents at each position in the structure can be the same or different. The term "substituent" encompasses all permissible substituents in organic compounds. In a broad sense, permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and non-aromatic substitutions in organic compounds.
[0013] In one specific embodiment, this application further discloses that the substitution of the N atom can be a chelating arm of a heteroatom group with a lone pair of electrons, a target molecule linking arm with an active group AG that can link with a target molecule, or a non-target linking arm with a certain structure.
[0014] The chelating arm has the structural formula JQ, where Q is a heteroatom group; preferably, J is a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated ether, ester, ketone, amide, or C0-C5 alkyl chain; the target molecule linker has the structural formula L-AG, where AG is an active group capable of linking to the target molecule; in some technical solutions, AG is independently and arbitrarily selected from -X (Br, Cl, I, F), -OH, -COOH, -SH, -CO-N(CH3)OH, -H2PO3, H2PO4, -H2PO2, sulfonic acid, sulfinic acid, sulfone, sulfoxide, -OCH2COOH, -NH2, -NHR, -OCH2CH2NH2; -N3, -acetylene, -piperazine, piperidine, tetrahydropyrrole, -NCS, -NHS, -boronic acid (ester), -CHO, -COR.
[0015] Preferably, L is independently and arbitrarily selected from linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl chains, PEG, amino acids, polypeptides, piperazine, triazole, esters, sugars, ethers, ureas, guanidines, sulfonic acids, sulfinic acids, nucleic acids, amides, sulfones, sulfoxides, and their derivatives.
[0016] In some specific technical solutions, L is independently and arbitrarily selected. (n = 1 ~ 50), (n = 1 ~ 50),
[0017] When it is a non-targeted linker arm, it can be completely different from the target molecule linker arm, or it can be formed by replacing the active group on the target molecule linker arm with an inactive group. The non-targeted linker arm does not have the ability to further link to the target molecule, but it can be a group with other functions, or of course it can be non-functional.
[0018] The non-targeted connecting arm can be L N -NAG,L N Similar to the definition of L above, NAG is an alkyl group or H.
[0019] The active group AG on the target molecule linker arm L is a crucial part for linking with the target molecule. This application provides multiple target molecule linking sites, which lays the foundation for linking multiple target molecules or other functional molecules. Depending on the specific target molecule or target group requiring linking, different active groups AG can be linked to different linking sites to achieve connection with the target molecule. Of course, linking with the target molecule can be achieved through covalent bonds, coordinate bonds, or through hydrophobic bonds and electrostatic interactions.
[0020] In some technical solutions, J also includes a group AG1 that can be linked to the target molecule. AG1 has the same definition as AG, and AG1 and AG can be the same or different.
[0021] Group J is a component of the chelating arm. When it has group AG1 (mainly on the side chain), these active groups can connect to the target molecule. Therefore, this application provides more target connection sites under this technical solution. As mentioned above, it can be understood that the target sites connected by these active groups can be the same or different.
[0022] In some specific technical solutions, the cage-like chelate has any of the following preferred features:
[0023] (1) K1, K2, and K3 are independently and arbitrarily selected from:
[0024] (2) Group Q is selected from:
[0025] -H2PO3, -H2PO4, -H2PO2
[0026] Among them, R, R ’ "R" represents H, alkyl, hydroxyl, fatty acid group, amino, acyl, heteroalkyl, or heteroaryl.
[0027] (3) The cage-like chelate is arbitrarily selected from:
[0028] This application also discloses a targeted cage-like chelating ligand formed by coupling cage-like chelate C with one or more targeted molecules TM.
[0029] In some specific implementations, TM is independently and arbitrarily selected from biological macromolecules, or from drugs or small molecule compounds. The target molecules include, but are not limited to, one or more of antibodies, bispecific antibodies, triple antibodies, nanobodies, proteins, peptides, polymers, carbohydrates, nucleotides, oligonucleotides, oligosaccharides, vitamins, liposomes, cells, viruses, nanomaterials, small molecule drugs or fragments or derivatives. In particular, in some technical solutions, TM is selected from any one or more of the following target molecules.
[0030] Furthermore, this application also discloses that the targeted cage-like chelating ligand is:
[0031] Furthermore, this application also discloses the salt formed by the described cage-like chelate and an inorganic or organic acid. It should be understood that the salt referred to here means a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

[0034] This application also discloses the use of the aforementioned chelating ligand compounds, targeted chelating ligand compounds, organic or inorganic salt derivatives, and metal complexes in the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals, iron removal agents, and drugs for treating heavy metal poisoning.
[0035] This application discloses the use of metal complexes in radiopharmaceuticals. In this application, the metal is a metal nuclide, wherein the nuclide includes, but is not limited to, metal nuclides. 89 Zr、 47 Sc、 55 Co、 60 Cu、 61 Cu、 62 Cu、 64 Cu、 67 Cu、 66 Ga、 67 Ga、 68 Ga、 82 Rb、 86 Y、 87 Y、 90 Y、 97 Ru、 105 Rh、 109 Pd, 111 In、 117m Sn、 149 Pm, 52 Mn, 149 Tb, 152 Tb, 161 Tb, 99m Tc, 153 Sm、 177 Lu、 186 Re、 188 Re、 199 Au、 201 Tl、 203 Pb, 210 Pb, 212 Pb, 212 Bi、 213 Bi、 225 Ac、 223 Ra and 227 Th et al., among which the chelating ligand compounds disclosed in this application have particularly significant advantages in chelating with lanthanides and actinides, such as those used in the embodiments of this application. 68 Ga、 177 Lu、 225 Ac、 223 Ra、 89 Zr、 227 Th、 212 Pb.
[0036] This application breaks through the existing cyclic structure of chelates, boldly proposing and obtaining a cage-like chelate. This chelate provides a more diverse range of modifiable sites and a more flexible framework structure, which we call a "nuclide compartment," thus exhibiting broad adaptability and the ability to complex with various compounds, including... 68 Ga、177 Lu、 225 Ac、 223 Ra、 89 Zr、 227 Th、 212 Numerous nuclides, including Pb, were involved. Experiments showed that the cage-like chelate and its resulting targeting cage-like ligand exhibit excellent stability after complexing with the nuclides, effectively addressing the toxic side effects caused by poor stability. Simultaneously, the chelate provides more binding sites for the targeting molecule, thereby improving drug targeting and regulating biological properties such as in vivo distribution and metabolism. When the resulting radiopharmaceutical is used as a contrast agent for diagnosis or to exert therapeutic effects using alpha and beta rays and Auger electrons generated by the nuclide, it exhibits higher targeting and stability, significantly improving the daughter nucleus recoil effect of alpha-labeled drugs in vivo and reducing the toxic side effects of alpha decay in normal tissues.
