[0002] Radiopharmaceuticals with Enhanced Tumor Accumulation
[0003] The invention pertains to a pharmaceutical compound PC and a kit for nuclear imaging and radioligand therapy (RLT) with improved tumor-to-body dose ratio. The compound PC is configured for direct labeling with a radioisotope or for pretargeting. In the latter case the nuclear imaging and RLT kit comprises the compound PC and an additional compound PD for labeling with the radioisotope and delivery to diseased tissue.
[0004] The invention further pertains to a radioligand RT comprised of the compound PC and a radioisotope.
[0005] Since more than 80 years benign and malignant thyroid conditions are successfully treated with131I. In recent years, radioligands targeting the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) and the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) receptor have become new standards of care for treating neuroendocrine and prostate cancers. Although these treatments are highly effective and improve both survival and quality of life, they mainly offer palliative outcomes, unlike131I, which often cures thyroid cancer.
[0006] Tumor-to-body dose ratio or tumor-to-background ratio are synonymous to tumor-to-normal tissue dose ratio and hereafter abbreviated as " T / N" or " TBR". High expression of the sodium iodine symporter protein in thyroid tissue promotes accumulation of iodine isotopes in or near thyroid cancer cells with hitherto unparalleled T / N. Thyroid PET / CT with124l shows target-to-background (TBR) contrast that can surpass 1,000 and frequently reaches several 100s. Despite intensive worldwide development efforts, the T / N of newer radioligands targeting somatostatin (SSTR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is significantly lower than that of131I.
[0007] The invention increases T / N by using a radiopharmaceutical compound PC that comprises a radical of a cell surface binder and enables radioisotope delivery and retention in tumor tissue over time periods of several days.
[0008] According to the invention, the term "cell surface binder" encompasses radicals which - after release from the radiopharmaceutical compound PC or radioligand RT - partition to the plasma membrane of cells and either
[0009] - are retained in the plasma membrane for extended time periods of ten hours up to several weeks, or
[0010] - after initial retention in the plasma membrane, are internalized to the cytosol via permeation or endocytosis.
[0011] In orderto prevent unwanted uptake and retention of the radiopharmaceutical compound PC or radioligand RT in blood and normal tissue, the cell surface binder radical is conjugated directly or via intermediate self-immolative spacer radicals to one or two substrate ligands of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and thereto appended pharmacokinetic modulator groups. The one or two FAP substrate ligand radicals and thereto appended pharmacokinetic modulator groups act as capping groups and prevent attachment of the radiopharmaceutical2 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026
[0012] compound PC or radioligand RT on cell surfaces and intercalation in the lipid bilayer of plasma membranes.
[0013] FAP is highly expressed in the stroma of many solid tumors and rarely found in normal tissue. The one or two FAP substrate ligand radicals promote ligation of the radiopharmaceutical compound PC or radioligand RT to FAP. Upon binding (or homing) to FAP, the one or two FAP substrate ligands are enzymatically cleaved and the optional self-immolative spacers disintegrate. The thus released cell surface binder readily partitions to and inserts into the plasma membrane of proximal cells, regardless of their phenotype.
[0014] Known radioligands bind to specific transmembrane receptors, such as somatostatin (SSTR), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or fibroblast activation protein (FAP) which are overexpressed in tumor tissue relative to healthy tissue. The number and concentration of cancer-associated transmembrane receptors is nonetheless limited and small compared to the total surface of cellular plasma membranes in the tumor. Contrary to known radioligands, the cell surface binder attaches to the plasma membrane of normal and oncogenic cells regardless of the presence or absence of specific receptors. Therefore, the cell surface binder significantly increases accumulation in tumor tissue.
[0015] The invention uses FAP substrate ligands which, contrary to FAP inhibitor ligands, rapidly dissociate from FAP after ligation and cleavage and do not measurably block its enzymatic pocket. The enzymatic activity of FAP is therefore largely unimpeded.
[0016] The concept of the invention is embodied by a compound PC that comprises one or two FAP substrate ligand radicals and a cell surface binder radical. The one or two FAP substrate ligand radicals are conjugated with the cell surface binder radical either directly or via self-immolative spacer radicals and prevent partition and attachment of the compound PC to cell surfaces. In the absence of FAP, the compound PC or a thereon based radioligand RT is physiologically inert and quickly cleared from the patient's body via the renal pathway.
[0017] PC can comprise polar or hydrophilic groups that prevent unwanted ligation to cell membranes and serum proteins, such as albumin. The hydrophilic groups can be linear or branched homo- or hetero-oligomers of ethylene glycol (–(CH2)2O–) and sarcosine (–N(C)CH2C(O)–). The polar or hydrophilic groups can comprise an oligopeptide. PC can be configured in such manner that, upon ligation to and cleavage by FAP, the polar or hydrophilic groups are separated from the cell surface binder radical. The lipophilic, respectively amphiphilic cell surface binder and the thereto appended radioisotope is released into the interstitial fluid and readily partitions to the plasma membrane of proximal cells.
[0018] The polar or hydrophilic groups can be configured to compensate and significantly outweigh the lipophilic, respectively amphiphilic character of the cell surface binder component. Notwithstanding, PC can also comprise radicals that bind to albumin with low affinity and moderately extend the residence time of PC in blood circulation and increase accumulation in tumor tissue.3 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026
[0019] According to the invention, the following considerations guide the structural design of PC: - PC can be hydrophilic to prevent off-target binding, mitigate extravasation from intact blood vessels in healthy tissue, reduce distribution volume, moderately prolong retention in blood circulation, promote renal excretion and mitigate uptake in liver and bone marrow,
[0020] - the cell surface binder component of PC can be configured as lipophilic, in particular amphiphilic radical which, in tumor tissue after FAP-mediated cleavage and release from PC and due to the hydrophobic effect, is displaced from the interstitial fluid and partitioned to the plasma membrane of cells,
[0021] - PC can comprise a radical that is adapted for radioisotope labeling or pretargeting and appended to the cell surface binder component,
[0022] - the cell surface binder component of PC can comprise one or more polar anchor radicals which form ionic bonds or intercalate with phosphatidylcholine radicals, respectively phosphorylcholine radicals of phospholipids in the outer leaflet of cell membranes and retain the cell surface binder there, either for an extended time period or transiently before being internalized to the cytosol by permeation or endocytosis,
[0023] - PC can contain a lipophilic radical as part of the FAP substrate ligand to promote its ligation to and cleavage by FAP,
[0024] - PC can be configured for efficient catalytic cleavage by FAP with a half-life of less than 1 minute to about 70 minutes,
[0025] - PC can comprise a self-immolative spacer that moderates the FAP-mediated enzymatic cleavage efficiency,
[0026] - PC can be configured for fast release of the cell surface binder component after FAP- mediated cleavage of the FAP substrate ligand,
[0027] - PC can comprise a self-immolative spacer that includes a radical of DMED (N, N'-d i methylethylenediamine) and slightly delays the release of the cell surface binder component after FAP-mediated cleavage of the FAP substrate ligand.
[0028] The cell surface binder component of PC can comprise a radical that is similar to one of the many known lipophilic fluorescent dyes, of which there are hundreds or thousands. The cell surface binder component can for example be a derivative of PKH2 (2-[(E,3Z)-3-(3-docosyl-l,3-benzoxazol-2-ylidene)prop-l-enyl]-3-propyl-l,3-benzoxazol-3-ium), Octadecyl Rhodamine B ([6-(diethylamino)-9-(2-octadecoxycarbonylphenyl)xanthen-3-ylidene]-diethylazanium), Di-8-ANEPPS (3-[4-[(E)-2-[6-(dioctylamino)naphthalen-2-yl]ethenyl] pyridin-l-ium-l-yl]pro-pane-l-sulfonate) or lopofosine 1-131 (18-(4-iodophenyl)octadecyl 2-(trimethylazaniumyl) ethyl phosphate), lopofosine 1-131 is also known as NM404 and structurally related to NM600, which includes DOTA-4-aminophenyl in lieu of 4-iodophenyl.
[0029] The cell surface binder component of PC can comprise radicals selected from
[0030] - mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, naphthalene, anthracene) or derivatives thereof,
[0031] – aliphatic chains (e.g. –(CH2)n–) with n being any number between 1 and 40, or4 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026
[0032] - conjugates of mono- or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and aliphatic chains.
[0033] The cell surface binder component of PC can include one or more radicals of guanidine or cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) in order to promote insertion into the plasma membrane or permeation and internalization into the cytosol of cells.
[0034] PC can further be configured for direct or pretargeted delivery of radioisotopes to tumor tissue.
[0035] For direct delivery, PC can comprise one or two FAP substrate ligand radicals, a cell surface binder radical and a labeling radical for labeling with a radioisotope. The labeling radical can be a chelator for complexation of a radioisotope, such as68Ga,161Tb,177Lu,212Pb or225Ac, or a leaving group for substitution with a radioisotope, such as18F,131l or211At.
[0036] For pretargeted delivery, PC comprisesone or two FAP substrate ligand radicals, a cell surface binder radical that includes a radical of a first bioorthogonal click-reactant.
[0037] For pretargeted delivery the invention further uses a delivery compound PD which comprises a radical of a second bioorthogonal click-reactant and a labeling radical for labeling with a radioisotope. The first and second click-reactants are complementary in that they rapidly react with each other under physiological conditions and form a permanent covalent bond. Otherwise, the first and second bioorthogonal click-reactants are largely inert and are neither hydrolyzed nor bound by physiological enzymes, proteins and biomolecules such as albumin and glutathione.
[0038] Pretargeted delivery uses a compound PC that is not labeled with a radioisotope and can be administered at a high systemic dose to promote tumor uptake and accumulation. Systemic excretion of residual PC molecules, that are not cleaved by FAP and bound to the plasma membrane of a cell typically occurs within less than 2 hours. Therefore, after a time period of two or more hours, the delivery compound PD with a thereto appended radioisotope can be administered to the patient at a relatively low dose with minimal exposure to healthy tissue. High accumulation and long retention of the cell surface binder component of PC in tumor tissue ensure strong uptake and extended residence of the delivery compound PD with the thereto bound radioisotope.
[0039] In an expedient embodiment of the invention the first bioorthogonal click-reactant is a derivative of tetrazine and the second bioorthogonal click-reactant is a derivative of transcyclooctene, or vice versa.
[0040] For direct as well as pretargeted delivery it is beneficial to adapt the pharmacokinetic properties, particularly the hydrophilicity (logP, logD) or polarity of PC and PD for fast tissue clearance and predominantly renal excretion. This can be achieved through incorporation of suitable pharmacokinetic modulator radicals. In the compound PC the pharmacokinetic modulator radicals are advantageously conjugated to the part containing the FAP substrate ligands and the optional self-immolative spacers which, after cleavage by FAP, dissociate from the cell surface binder.5 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026

[0245] The compound PC embodies the central concept of the invention, either when being implemented as radioligand precursor or as pretargeting compound of a radiopharmaceutical kit.

[0256] have different pharmacological functions and can belong to a chemical genus of limited size or be formed in countless different ways.
[0257] Prior to cleavage of PC by FAP in diseased tissue, either of the FAP substrate ligands Fl, F2, F3, particularly in conjunction with either of the pharmacokinetic modulator radicals Pl, P2, P3, P4 prevents attachment of PC to the plasma membrane of cells.
[0258] In an expedient embodiment of the compound PC, the FAP substrate ligand radicals Fl, F2, F3 can be selected independently of one another from the group comprising
[0259] and
[0260]
[0261] o16 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026
[0262]
[0263] wherein X = H or CH3, Y1= H or F , Y2= H or F .
[0264] After FAP-mediated cleavage of PC and release of the cell surface binder, the lipophilic radicals Cl, C2, C3, CX, CY, CZ, CR, LI, L2, L3, L4 intercalate the aliphatic chains of membrane phospholipids and the polar anchor radicals Al, A2, A3, AT especially when implemented as radicals of 3-(trimethylazaniumyl)propane-l-sulfonate or phosphorylcholine, form ionic bonds or intercalate with phosphatidylcholine radicals, respectively phosphorylcholine radicals of phospholipids. Therefore, either of Cl, C2, C3, CX, CY, CZ, CR, LI, L2, L3, L4 in conjunction with either of Al, A2, A3, AT can be essential for attachment and retention of the cell surface binder on plasma membranes after FAP-mediated cleavage and release from PC. Cl, C2, C3, CX, CY, CZ, CR can be radicals of cell-penetrating moieties, such as guanidine, cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) and cholesterol derivatives, which promote insertion of the cell surface binder in plasma membranes after FAP-mediated cleavage and release from PC. Cl, C2, C3, CX, CY, CZ independently of one another can also comprise a radical of 4-(l,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)aniline or a derivative thereof, such as depicted beneath,
[0265]
[0266] which prolongs the retention of PC in the plasma membrane of cells.
[0267] CX, CY, CZ independently of one another can also comprise a terminal (2-methylpropyl) benzene, iodobenzene, benzoxazole or (trifluoromethyl) benzene radical which promotes weak binding to serum albumin and moderately prolongs plasma retention.
[0268] Al, A2, A3, AT and the linkers TL and TE can comprise a covalent linker CW that can form a covalent bond with a membrane protein, such as carbonic anhydrase IX or XII (CA IX / XII) and thereby attach the cell surface binder component to the plasma membrane in an irreversible and substantially prolonged manner. The covalent linker radical CW is largely inert under physiological conditions and only forms a covalent bond with a nucleophile, such as the side chain of serine, tyrosine, lysine or histidine, when positioned in close proximity thereto. Proximity conditions for covalent bond formation are met, when the cell surface binder17 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026
[0269] component, respectively its lipophilic portion attaches to the plasma membrane. The sequence of
[0270] - ligation of the lipophilic portion of the cell surface binder to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, followed by
[0271] - proximity-mediated covalent bond formation between the covalent linker CW and a nucleophilic residue of a membrane protein,
[0272] is analogous to the mechanism of action of covalent drugs or targeted covalent inhibitors. In an expedient embodiment of the invention the covalent linker CW can comprise a sulfonyl fluoride (-SO2F) radical.
[0273] The molar ratio of phospholipids to membrane proteins is estimated at about 40:1. Accordingly, covalent binding to membrane proteins contributes to irreversible attachment of the cell surface binder component to the plasma membrane.
[0274] If the cell surface binder permeates into the cytosol or is internalized via endocytosis the covalent linker CW can bind to intracellular proteins and thus prolong the residence time. Phosphatidylserine in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane plays a vital role in the growth and proliferation of cancer cells and has been identified as a potential target for cancer treatment. In healthy cells phosphatidylserine is almost exclusively present in the inner membrane leaflet. In this context, it is noteworthy that lopofosine 1-131 selectively binds to the plasma membrane of cancer cells and subsequently appears to be internalized. This phenomenon, while not fully elucidated has been associated with lipid rafts.
[0275] The pharmacokinetic modulator radicals Pl, P2, P3, P4, especially when formed as hydrophilic radicals, promote systemic clearance of PC and extravasation into tumor tissue. Therefore, at least one of Pl, P2, P3, P4 can have an important pharmacological function.
[0276] The pharmacokinetic modulator radicals Pl, P2, P3, P4 independently of one another can also comprise a terminal (2-methylpropyl)benzene, iodobenzene, benzoxazole or (trifluoromethyl) benzene radical to cause weak binding to serum albumin and moderately prolong blood retention.
[0277] The bivalent spacers SI, S2, S3, S4, S5, S7 are facultative. SI, S2, S3, S4, S5, S7, the trivalent linker TL and the tetravalent linkers TE and TZ can be formed in countless different ways many of which do not significantly change the pharmacological properties of PC. Therefore, SI, S2, S3, S4, S5, S7, TL, TE and TZ are specified initially as linking elements rather than by a chemical genus, as the latter would unduly limit the scope of the invention and allow easy circumvention.
[0278] The bivalent spacer radical S6, especially when formed as polar or hydrophilic radical, can be used to adapt the pharmacokinetics of the delivery compound PD. Accordingly, S6 can have an important pharmacological function.18 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026
[0279] PC can comprise one, two, three or four aliphatic radicals LI, L2, L3, L4 of the type -(CH2)n-where n is a number between 1 and 30, similar to the commercial membrane-inserting fluorescent dyes PKH26 and PKH2 depicted below in Scheme la and lb.

[0299] According to Ford et al., PKH26 and125I-PKH95 efficiently label endothelial cells and are retained in vivo for up to 60 days without notably affecting cell proliferation.
[0300] Cicalese and Regan et al. use PKH26 to label stem cells and observe undiminished dye retention in vivo over 7 and 12 days. This suggests that the invention could enable labeling and eradication of rare cancer stem cells in tumor tissue in vivo with therapeutic radioisotopes Terbium-161, Lutetium-177, Lead-212 and Actinium-225.

[0315] FAP is expressed on the surface of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) and is involved in remodeling the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the tumor microenvironment (TME).
[0316] Apparently, FAP has evolved to retain its enzymatic activity in the harsh conditions in inflamed tissue and - incidentally - also the TME. For a serine protease, like FAP it is generally expected that the catalytic triad Ser624-Asp702-His734, particularly His734, is adversely affected by the lowered pH ≈ 6.0–7.0 in the TME. However, FAP retains its endopeptidase activity and ability to cleave collagen.
[0317] The compound PC or radioligand RT of the invention are hydrophilic and readily extravasate from deleterious ("leaky") arterial microvessels of a tumor or metastasis and perfuse through the TME by diffusion and convective flow. In case that PC or RT are cleaved by FAP prior to intravasation into venous or lymphatic vasculature, a lipophilic or amphiphilic cell surface binder with a thereto appended radioisotope or biorthogonal click-reactant are released into the TME.
[0318] The TME is densely packed, so that the membrane surface density amounts to approximately 1500 to 3000 cm2per cm3of tissue. Assuming that the cell surface binder occupies a membrane surface area of about 0.5 nm2, the concentration of "membrane receptors Rm" corresponds to [Rm] = 0.5 - 1.0 mM. Further assuming that the affinity of the cell surface binder for plasma membranes corresponds to a dissociation constant KD= 50 μM yields the retardation factor R = 1 + [Rm] / KD = 11 - 21, which essentially equates to immobilization. It is noted that probe 2 of the above cited article by Zhang et al.
[0319] (doi:10.3390 / molecules26020354) is retained in plasma membranes for at least 2 hours, which is consistent with a dissociation constant KD in the micromolar range.
[0320] Similar applies, if the retardation factor is estimated based on membrane partitioning of the lipophilic cell surface binder. Assuming volume portions Vm= 2 - 5% and Vw= 20% for plasma membrane and interstitial (extracellular) water, a cell surface binder with logP = 2 yields the retardation factor R = 1 + (Vm / Vw)·10logP= 11 - 26.
[0321] The compound PC or radioligand RT of the invention can comprise a membrane anchor radical, such as 3-(trimethylazaniumyl)propane-l-sulfonate, which in conjunction with a polar radioisotope-chelator complex (e.g.177Lu[Lu]-DOTA) promotes retention in the plasma membrane and mitigates internalization into the cytosol and subsequent metabolization. The pharmacological concept of the invention is briefly explained with reference to Schemes 2a and 2b. Scheme 2a shows an exemplary compound PC, which contains some optional radicals for illustrative purposes.22 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026

[0325] after FAP-mediated cleavage23 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026
[0326] The exemplary compound PC of Scheme 2a comprises, starting from the top and proceeding to the bottom, a DOTA-chelator radical for complexation with a radioisotope, a 3-(trimethyl-azaniumyl)propane-l-sulfonate radical for anchoring on the surface of plasma membranes, an aliphatic (CH2)18–amine radical for insertion and intercalation in the lipophilic portion of plasma membranes, a thereto conjugated self-immolative spacer comprising a branched and a linear p-aminobenzylcarbamate (PABC) spacer radical, wherein the branched PABC spacer carries an oligo(ethylene glycol) and dendritic oligosarcosine radical, and a quinoline-based FAP substrate ligand radical with a thereto tethered oligosarcosine radical. The oligo(ethylene glycol) and oligosarcosine radicals render PC hydrophilic which reduces distribution volume and promotes renal excretion of PC. Scheme 2b shows the exemplary compound PC after FAP-mediated cleavage, disintegration of the self-immolative PABC spacers and release of the lipophilic, respectively amphiphilic membrane inserting cell surface binder with the thereto appended chelator.
[0327] As depicted in Scheme 2b, FAP-mediated cleavage causes the compound PC to disintegrate into five main fragments, of which the cell surface binder with the DOTA-chelator corresponds to a radioligand precursor and represents the pharmacologically active compound. The aliphatic (CH2)18radical of the cell surface binder is terminated by an amine radical. In addition to an amine radical, the present invention encompasses alternatives such as a thiol (— SH) or guanidine (–N=C(NH2)2) radical, which can promote membrane insertion.
[0328] Schemes 3a and 3b show an example of a radioligand according to the invention before and after FAP-mediated cleavage. The radioligand depicted in Scheme 3a is a linear conjugate comprising a hydrophilic oligomer composed of four ethylene glycol and twenty sarcosine units (PEG4-PSAR20), a quinoline based FAP substrate ligand, a self-immolative PABC and a cell surface binder composed of a lipophilic membrane-inserting 4-octadecylaniline radical, a 3-(trimethylazaniumyl)propane-l-sulfonate membrane anchor and a radioactive177Lu-DOTA complex. The dotted lines in Scheme 3a indicate bonds that are cleaved during disintegration of the PABC spacer.
[0329] In the radioligand according to Scheme 3a the PABC spacer is optional and can be omitted, such that the C-terminus of the proline radical of the FAP substrate ligand is directly conjugated to the 4-octadecylaniline radical of the cell surface binder.
[0330] The synthesis of a precursor compound for the radioligand of Scheme 3a is described in the Examples section of this patent application.24 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026

[1157] Fig. 1 illustrates the invention and its mechanism of action. The pharmaceutical compound of Fig. 1 comprises a radioisotope, a cell surface binder radical, a self-immolative spacer radical and a radical of a substrate ligand of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) as main components. The FAP substrate ligand radical is conjugated to the cell surface binder radical via the self-immolative spacer radical and prevents the cell surface binder from attaching to95 / 126 pma25 10.02.2026
[1158] the plasma membrane of cells. The mechanism of action comprises four steps which are indicated in Fig. 1 by circled numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4. Subsequent to intravenous injection, systemic distribution via blood circulation and extravasation, the pharmaceutical compound reaches a FAP molecule expressed by a cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) present in tumor tissue (step 1). The FAP substrate ligand binds to the enzymatic pocket of FAP and is cleaved (step 2). The self-immolative spacer disintegrates and the cell surface binder with the thereto bound radioisotope dissociates from the FAP substrate ligand (step 3). The cell surface binder partitions to the surface of a proximal cell and is inserted into the plasma membrane (step 4). Depending on the cell's reproductive and life cycle the cell surface binder with the thereto bound radioisotope remains inserted in the plasma membrane for an extended period of time of up to 6 months or permeates into the cytosol. Quiescent cancer stem cells have life spans of several months and do not reproduce. Incidental insertion of the cell surface binder with a thereto appended radioisotope, such as Terbium-161, Lutetium-177, Lead-212 or Actinium-225 into the plasma membrane of a long-lived cancer stem cell significantly increases the probability of causing severe and potentially lethal radiation damage to the latter. This applies in particular, when a-emitting Actinium-225 is chosen as the therapeutic radioisotope. The invention may thus enable eradication of cancer stem cells.
