Description

Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the medical and diagnostic fields, and in particular to compounds, chelates, compositions and uses thereof that inhibit fibroblast activation protein.

Background

Tumors are the second largest killer threatening human health. Tumors can be considered not only as a collection of malignant cells, but also as a collection of stromal cells, including vascular cells, inflammatory cells, and fibroblasts. In tumors with fibroproliferative responses, such as breast, colon, and pancreatic cancers, the interstitium in the tumor may reach 90% or more. A sub-population of fibroblasts in the tumor stroma, called Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), is involved in tumor growth, migration and progression, even against chemotherapy and immunosuppression.

The Tumor Microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in the development of tumors, and the TME is centered on activated fibroblast Cells (CAFs). Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) is a type II transmembrane serine proteolytic enzyme belonging to the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) family. FAP is selectively expressed on more than 90% of CAFs of epithelial malignant tumors, but is hardly expressed in normal tissues, and has special biological characteristics and gene stability. FAP is widely expressed in the microenvironment of a variety of tumors, and thus different tumor entities, including pancreatic, breast and lung cancers, can be targeted by targeting FAP. Therefore, FAP can be used as a biological marker for early diagnosis of tumors, has good biological characteristics of targeted therapy, and is expected to play an important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors.

At present, the research on inhibitors of FAP is not intensive, and the first inhibitor of FAP activity to enter clinical trials is Talabostat, but it shows insufficient clinical activity in various cancers, and thus has not continued to be further developed. Later researchers utilized ¹³¹ I labeled anti-FAP antibody sibrotuzumab is used for tumor treatment research, but has the defects of low clearance rate, lack of clinical activity and the like.

In the last two years, the Haberkorn, Uwe team, university of Heidelberg, Germany, developed a series ofA list of quinoline-based small molecule radiopharmaceuticals targeting FAP for diagnosis and treatment is described in WO2019154886a 1. The generated inhibitor can be rapidly and almost completely combined with FAP of human and mice, and importantly, the inhibitor has no cross reaction with DPP4 which is a DPP family member, thereby laying the foundation for further development. By linking this FAP inhibitor (FAPI) with the chelating agent DOTA, a radionuclide tracer with good pharmacokinetic properties is formed. The most interesting of the whole tracer is FAPI-04, which has high affinity for FAP, and the tracer is rapidly cleared from blood and is cleared by kidney. These characteristics are that ⁶⁸ The Ga-FAPI-04PET/CT tumor imaging has high contrast and high sensitivity. However, the rapid clearance of FAPI-04 in vivo limits its application in the treatment of tumor nuclides. It is therefore particularly desirable to retain its excellent targeting properties and to address the short circulation time of FAP inhibitor small molecules.

Albumin has become more widely used as a drug carrier, and is often used to improve the hemodynamic characteristics of drugs, thereby increasing the half-life of blood flow. Albumin is the most abundant protein in human plasma and is responsible for various storage and transportation operations in the body. Compared with normal tissues, tumor tissues have abundant blood vessels and larger vascular endothelial gaps, albumin is taken as a macromolecular substance and can permeate into the tumor tissues but cannot enter the normal tissues, in addition, substances with smaller molecular weight are quickly eliminated from tumor interstitium, and macromolecules are intercepted, and the effect is also called enhanced permeability and retention Effect (EPR) of the macromolecular substance in the tumor tissues. In addition, the tumor microenvironment is highly expressed with albumin-binding receptors, such as gp60 receptor and SPARC134, which further retain albumin in the vicinity of the tumor. Thus, the use of albumin as a carrier for anti-cancer drugs not only improves the half-life of these drugs, but also improves delivery to and retention in the tumor. The albumin drug-carrying system mainly comprises albumin drug-carrying agents which are chemically coupled and physically combined.

The present disclosure links an albumin binding agent to a chelator unit and an FAP inhibitor unit, thereby forming a small molecule compound (teppii) that can double target with FAP and albumin, with the aim of extending the blood circulation half-life of the FAPI molecule, increasing tumor uptake.

The present disclosure provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, isomer or solvate thereof,

And (3) taking the 37MBq labeled product, adding 200 microliters of normal saline for dilution, and pumping the medicine for later use by using an insulin syringe, wherein the ethanol content of the medicine is not higher than 5%. Healthy mice are anesthetized in advance and placed on a PET/CT collection bed, and an indwelling needle is placed at the tail vein. The syringe is connected to the indwelling needle, and PET data acquisition is started at the zero time of needle pushing. The collection time points were 0-60 min, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 5 hr, respectively. And after the acquisition is finished, data reconstruction is carried out by using professional software under the reconstruction conditions that the data are reconstructed at intervals of every 5 minutes in the first 5 minutes, the data are reconstructed every 5 minutes in 5-60 minutes, and the data are reconstructed at the rest time points. The acquired data were processed by PET reconstruction software to obtain continuous images, as shown in fig. 1A. In the PET processing software, a fixed area was delineated at the heart of the mouse, resulting in SUV-Mean and SUV-Max values at the heart. The resulting SUV was simulated in data processing software. The corresponding half-life of the blood is obtained,

the half-life periods of TEFAPI-01, 02, 03 and 04 are respectively 117.5min, 289.3min, 359.3min and 320min, which are obviously higher than that of FAPI-04(t1/2 is 19 min).

III, ⁶⁸ Ga/ ⁸⁶ Y-TEFAPI-01, 02, 03 and 04 in pancreatic cancer PDPET imaging of X mouse model

And (3) leaching the germanium-gallium generator by using 5mL of 0.6M high-purity hydrochloric acid to obtain a Ga-68 hydrochloric acid solution. 1mL of the rinsed Ga-68 solution was taken, 100. mu.L of 3M sodium hydroxide and 130. mu.L of 3M sodium acetate were added to adjust the acidity to a final pH of 4.0, 50. mu.g of TEFAPI series precursor was added, and the reaction mixture was heated to 90 ℃ for 10 minutes. The reaction solution was passed through a small C18 column to remove free ions, and then the C18 column was eluted with an ethanol solution. Is marked ⁶⁸ Ga-TEFAPI molecules. Will be marked ⁶⁸ Ga-TEFAPI molecules were diluted with saline and injected with 3.7 MBq per mouse. PET scan imaging was performed at 0.5 hours, 1 hour, and 2 hours, and reconstruction was performed using PET image processing software. The resulting image is shown below, and it can be seen that the probe has significant uptake at the tumor site.

Y-86 is a positron nuclide with a half-life of up to 14.6 hours, can be radiolabeled with DOTA, and is therefore well suited for long-term detection of the distribution of TEFAPI molecules in vivo. 1mL of Y-86 HCl solution was taken, 100. mu.L of 3M sodium hydroxide and 130. mu.L of 3M sodium acetate were added to adjust the acidity to a final pH of 4.0, 50. mu.g of TEFAPI-precursor was added, and the reaction mixture was heated to 90 ℃ for 10 minutes. The reaction solution was passed through a C18 cartridge to remove free ions, and then the C18 cartridge was eluted with an ethanol solution. Is marked ⁸⁶ A Y-TEFAPI molecule. Will be marked ⁸⁶ The Y-TEFAPI molecules were diluted in saline and injected with 7.4MBq per mouse. We performed PDX mice for up to 12 hours. The results show that 1 hour after injection of the drug, ⁶⁸ Ga-FAPI-04 is basically excreted from the body, and no obvious effect is seen in tumor tissues ⁶⁸ Ga-FAPI-04 is retained. PET imaging of four molecules, tepfi-01, 02, 03 and 04, showed uptake in all PDX model tumors and was high relative to FAPI-04. The tumors SUVmax, Tumor/blood Ratio and Tumor/muscle Ratio of the TEFAPI-03 are the highest.

Fourth, experiment of TEFAPI-03 inhibition in PDX pancreatic cancer mice

To validate the specificity of the TEFAPI series of molecules for FAP targets, we chose TEFAPI-03 as a representative molecule to competeIn the inhibition experiment, PET imaging before and after inhibition is carried out on the same batch of mice. From long-term Y-86 PET imaging, it was found that the uptake of the tumor peaked between 6 and 12 hours after drug injection. Thus, tumor-bearing mice were subjected to ⁶⁸ Ga-FAPI-04 was imaged and mice were determined to have tumor uptake. Wait 48 hours to ensure ⁶⁸ After Ga-FAPI-04 metabolism, 300. mu.g of TEFAPI-03 molecule was injected into the two mice, and 12 hours later, TEFAPI-06 molecule-injected mice were subjected to ⁶⁸ Imaging the PET molecule of Ga-FAPI-04. Imaging results 30 min after injection showed that the same mouse ⁶⁸ Imaging of Ga-FAPI-04 in the absence of TEFAPI-03 molecules showed significant uptake at the tumor, and PET imaging after injection showed no additional uptake at the mouse tumor.

The result shows that the target part of the TEFAPI-03 is FAP.

The present disclosure illustrates, by way of the above example, that after an albumin binding unit is introduced into a FAPI molecule, the blood circulation time of a series of small molecules such as teppii is greatly increased compared with FAPI-04, and the tumor uptake is effectively improved. The positive electron nuclide Y-86 with long half-life period can effectively detect the distribution condition of small molecules in living bodies, and completely understand the metabolic condition of the molecules. In Y-86 imaging, the TEFAPI-03 has long retention time, metabolic organs basically have no nuclide residues, and the TEFAPI-03 is a very good small molecule for conveying therapeutic nuclides and is expected to become a targeting molecule for nuclide treatment experiments.
