Description

Combined probe for reducing radionuclide kidney condensation and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to a combined probe for reducing radionuclide kidney condensation and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Precision medicine, also known as individualized medicine or personalized medicine, is an individualized diagnosis and treatment strategy that matches the molecular biological pathological characteristics of a patient. Compared with the traditional medical treatment, the individual medical treatment has the advantages of improving the treatment quality, reducing the side effect and the like, and is a new trend and direction in the tumor medical treatment field. Molecular nuclear medicine is a subject which recognizes diseases from the molecular level by taking a nuclide tracing technology as a means, clarifies the change of the density and the function of a receptor of a pathological tissue, the abnormal expression of genes, the biochemical metabolic change, the cell information conduction and the like, and provides molecular level information for clinical diagnosis, treatment and the research of diseases.
With the wide application of molecular biology technology and the rapid development of radionuclide tracing technology, molecular nuclear medicine has developed in the fields of molecular functional imaging and molecular targeted therapy, so that it has an important place in the field of precise medical treatment. At this point itIn particular, nuclide diagnosis and treatment targeting Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) has been applied clinically for more than 20 years, and has drawn attention. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first nuclide-targeting Drug in 2018 in 1 month 177 Lu-DOTA-TATE (Lutathera,) is used for treating gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and marks that the development of receptor-mediated radionuclide therapy enters a new era.
However, since many tumor-targeting ligands such as polypeptides, folic acid, aptamers, and the like are mainly metabolized in vivo via the kidney, and metabolites are continuously retained in the kidney due to renal reabsorption, radionuclides linked to the targeting ligands are excessively concentrated in the kidney for a long time. Thus, the kidney also becomes the primary dose-limiting organ for nuclide therapy with these targeting ligands. To protect the kidneys, the radioactive dose of the treatment is generally reduced or the number of courses of treatment is reduced, so that the effectiveness of the treatment is greatly limited. Therefore, how to reduce the accumulation and retention of radioactivity in the kidney becomes a key problem to be solved in the field of nuclide therapy.
At present, the scholars research two strategies of ligand structure modification and reabsorption inhibition to reduce the concentration of radioactivity in the kidney aiming at the reasons that the renal concentration is too high in the aspects of renal metabolism of radioactive targeting ligand and reabsorption in the kidney, but the two strategies have disadvantages:
(1) the structural modification of the radioligand has the disadvantages of unclear mechanism, uncertain effect and no universality, and the structural modification of the ligand may influence the affinity of the ligand to a receptor, so that the risk of reducing the tumor radioactive uptake is reduced.
(2) Inhibition of renal reabsorption of radioactive metabolic fragments can produce side effects. The continuous infusion of large doses of inhibitor can cause a number of serious toxic side effects, such as vomiting, nausea and hyperkalemia, some of which are lifelong. Whereas the use of succinylated gelatin results in transient urine proteins.
In summary, the two strategies of structural modification of the ligand and inhibition of reabsorption by using the inhibitor have the effect of reducing renal uptake, but still have various problems in terms of drug performance and toxic and side effects, and a solution with better effect and better safety needs to be explored.
The radioactive enzyme digestion removal strategy is a novel strategy for reducing kidney concentration, and separates radionuclides from metabolic fragments based on the enzyme digestion effect of enzyme highly expressed in kidney, so that the radionuclides are prevented from being reabsorbed, quickly enter bladder and are removed out of the body.
Because the enzyme digestion process is an enzymatic reaction, the relationship between the initial reaction speed and the substrate concentration conforms to the description of the Mie's equation, namely, under a certain enzyme concentration, when the substrate concentration is lower, the reaction is a first-order reaction relative to the substrate; and when the substrate concentration is in the middle range, the reaction is a mixed-stage reaction with respect to the substrate; as the substrate concentration continues to increase, the reaction transitions from a first order reaction to a zero order reaction. Although the relationship between the initial rate of the reaction and the concentration of the substrate is complicated, the initial rate of the enzymatic reaction can be increased by increasing the concentration of the substrate within a certain range. However, increasing the concentration of the enzyme-cleaved substrate results in an increase in the concentration of the targeting ligand linked thereto, thereby inhibiting tumor uptake and affecting the effect of nuclide diagnosis and treatment. The problem could be readily solved if a method could be provided to increase the concentration of the cleavage substrate without increasing the concentration of the targeting ligand.

EXAMPLE 9 Effect of analysis and application
The following Compound 6 prepared in example 1 was combined with the radioactivity prepared in example 6 64 The Cu-labeled probe (Compound 12) is an example, and the performance measurement is described below:
1. HPLC analytical identification
The HPLC system is as follows: agilent 1100; a C18 column (ZORBAX, 5 μm, 4.6X 250 mm) was used for polypeptide analysis. The retention time of compound 12 was 15.67min and the calculated chemical purity was greater than 95%. The HPLC results are shown in FIG. 3.
Elution gradient: 0-3 minutes: 15% acetonitrile (0.1% tfa) and 85% water (0.1% tfa) were kept unchanged; 3-20 minutes: increase to 70% acetonitrile (0.1% TFA) and 30% water (0.1% TFA).
2. MicroPET imaging test of compound 12 and compound 6 combined probe on INS-1 tumor-bearing nude mice
1) Control probes with radiochemical purity greater than 95% were prepared as in example 6, 64 Cu-NOTA-Exendin 4. The INS-1 tumor-bearing nude mice were randomly divided into two groups (5 mice each) and injected with 100. Mu.L (about 3.7 MBq) of the probe at different specific activities via the tail vein. The ligand content for the first set of injections was 0.2nmol and for the second set 0.8nmol. PET image acquisition was performed at 1, 4, 24 and 48h post dose, respectively. The results are shown in figure 4, where the ligand dose was 0.8nmol, the tumor uptake at each time point was significantly lower than in the 0.2nmol group, since the radioactive probe competed with the nonradioactive ligand for binding to the receptor site, and when the nonradioactive ligand increased, binding of the radioligand to the receptor was inhibited, as evidenced by a decrease in the radioactive signal at the tumor site. Comparison shows that the kidney uptake of the two groups does not have significant difference, and the suggestion is that the increase of the ligand amount does not promote the excretion of the radionuclide in the kidney.
2) Control probes with radiochemical purity greater than 95% were prepared as in example 6 64 Cu-NOTA-Exendin 4 and experimental group probes 64 Cu-NOTA-MVK-Exendin4 (compound 12). Putting lotus in the airINS-1 tumor nude mice were randomly divided into five groups (5 mice each) and injected with 100. Mu.L (about 3.7 MBq) of control group probes and experimental group probes of different specific activities, respectively, via tail vein. The first group is injected with a control group probe with the ligand content of 0.2nmol, and the second group to the fifth group are respectively injected with an experimental group probe with the ligand content of 0.2, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.4 nmol. PET image acquisition was performed at 1, 4, 24 and 48h post dose, respectively.
Results as shown in fig. 4, when the dose of both the injected control probe and the experimental probe was 0.2nmol, the tumor uptake levels of both at each time point were substantially the same, while the renal uptake of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group at 1h and 4h after administration, demonstrating the effectiveness of enzymatic clearance based strategies to reduce radioactive renal accumulation. When the ligand dosage of the probe in the experimental group is increased from 0.2nmol to 0.8nmol and 1.0nmol in sequence, the radioactive renal concentration at the same time point shows a gradually reduced trend, for example, after administration for 1h, the renal uptake of the experimental group of 0.2, 0.8 and 1.0nmol is 64%, 45% and 17% of that of the control group respectively; while the renal uptake 4h after administration was 78%, 41% and 17% of the control group, respectively. This indicates that the rate of cleavage is gradually increasing with increasing substrate concentration. It is worth noting that when the ligand dose of the probe in the experimental group is further increased to 1.4nmol, the radioactive kidney concentration level of the group is on the contrary leveled with that of the 1.0nmol group, which suggests that when the substrate concentration of the enzyme is increased to a certain extent, the enzyme digestion rate reaches a plateau, i.e. the enzyme digestion rate no longer changes with the increase of the substrate concentration. However, with the increase of the ligand dose in the experimental group, the level of tumor radioactivity uptake is continuously reduced, for example, after 1h of administration, the tumor uptake of the 0.8nmol and 1.0nmol groups is reduced by 55% and 71% respectively compared with that of the 0.2nmol group; and after 4h of administration, the reduction was 59% and 71%, respectively. Therefore, a combined reagent is sought, the concentration of the enzyme digestion sequence is increased, the concentration of the targeting ligand is not increased, and the radioactive concentration of the kidney can be greatly reduced under the condition of keeping the tumor uptake unchanged.
2) Control probes with radiochemical purity greater than 95% were prepared as in example 6 64 Cu-NOTA-Exendin 4 and experimental group probes 64 Cu-NOTA-MVK-Exendin4 (compound 12). INS of lotus-1 tumor nude mice were randomly divided into four groups (5 mice each) and 100. Mu.L (about 3.7 MBq) of control group probes and experimental group probes of different specific activities were injected through tail vein, respectively. The first group of control group probes with the injection ligand content of 0.2nmol, the second group of experimental group probes with the injection ligand content of 0.2nmol, and the third group and the fourth group are respectively injected with 1.3nmol or 2.6nmol of MVK-PEG5K besides the experimental group probes with the injection ligand content of 0.2 nmol. PET image acquisition was performed at 1, 4, 24 and 48h post dose, respectively.
The results are shown in FIG. 4, when the third group is used in combination with 0.2nmol 64 Renal uptake in tumor-bearing mice after Cu-NOTA-MVK-Exendin4 and 1.3nmol of MVK-PEG5K compared to 0.2nmol injected alone 64 The Cu-NOTA-MVK-Exendin4 shows remarkable reduction, and the reduction values are 49 percent, 61 percent, 45 percent and 72 percent at 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours respectively. This indicates that the use of a combination probe containing a restriction enzyme sequence increases the concentration of the restriction enzyme sequence and accelerates the rate of the enzymatic reaction, thereby allowing the radioactivity to be cleared more quickly from the body. Meanwhile, the combined probe does not increase the concentration of the targeting ligand, so that the tumor uptake of the two groups has no obvious difference. When 2.6nmol of MVK-PEG5K was used in combination in the fourth group, the decrease in renal uptake in tumor-bearing mice was 52%,56%,40% and 70% at 1, 4, 24 and 48h, respectively, compared to the second group of imaging probes injected alone. The level of amplitude reduction is comparable to that of the third group, which shows that when 1.3nmol of MVK-PEG5K is added, the concentration of the enzyme digestion sequence is saturated, and the enzyme digestion rate enters the plateau phase. The tumor uptake levels of the fourth group were identical to those of the first three groups, again demonstrating that tumor uptake was only related to the concentration of the targeting ligand, not to the concentration of the enzyme digestion sequences.
EXAMPLE 10 analytical and application effects
The following compound 9 prepared in example 2 was combined with the radioactivity prepared in example 7 68 The Ga-labeled probe (Compound 13) is exemplified, and the measurement of the properties thereof is described below:
1. HPLC analysis identification
The HPLC system is as follows: agilent 1100; c18 column (ZORBAX, 5 μm, 4.6X 250 mm) was used for polypeptide analysis. The retention time of compound 10 was 14.89min and the calculated chemical purity was greater than 95%. The HPLC results are shown in FIG. 5.
Elution gradient: 0-3 minutes: 5% acetonitrile (0.1% TFA) and 95% water (0.1% TFA) were kept constant; 3-20 minutes: increase to 95% acetonitrile (0.1% TFA) and 5% water (0.1% TFA).
2. MicroPET imaging test of compound 13 and compound 9 combined probe in normal mice
First, a probe having a radiochemical purity of greater than 95% was prepared as in example 7 68 Ga-DOTA-NCS-MVK-PSMA (Compound 13), and DOTA-NCS-MVK-PEG5K (Compound 9) were prepared as in example 2. Normal mice were randomly divided into two groups (3 per group), and injected with 100 μ L (about 3.7 MBq) of compound 9 via tail vein, respectively, and the second group was injected with 2nmol of compound 3 in addition to compound 13. Dynamic PET image acquisition was performed for 1h after dosing. During post-treatment, 1 frame is reconstructed every 1min for the first 5min, one frame is reconstructed every 5min for the last 5min, 15 min to 20min, 25 min to 30min, 35 min to 40min, 45 min to 50 min and 55 min to 60min, the double kidneys are selected as interested areas, the radioactivity count (kBq/mL) of the kidneys is obtained by delineating, and the radioactivity count of the kidneys is plotted against time to obtain a radioactivity uptake-time curve of the kidneys (figure 6). As shown in fig. 6, the radioactive renal uptake using the combined probe set was significantly lower than the radioactive renal uptake using the individual probe set. The renal uptake of the combination injection group was about 60% of that of the single injection group within the first 30min, and about 60-73% of that of the single injection group within the last 30 min.
According to the above, compared with the single use of radioactive probes, the combined probe containing the enzyme digestion sequence can remarkably reduce the radioactive concentration of the kidney while not changing the radioactive uptake of the tumor, thereby not only ensuring the radioactive diagnosis and treatment effect, but also greatly improving the application safety. Moreover, because the concentration of the kidney is reduced, the initial treatment dose can be increased or the treatment cycle can be increased according to the tolerance dose of the kidney, so that better treatment effect can be obtained.
In conclusion, the method using the combined probe can obviously reduce the renal concentration of the radioactive ligand, thereby having extremely strong application value and prospect in receptor-targeted nuclide diagnosis and treatment.
The invention is not limited to the embodiment examples, and any equivalent changes of the technical solution of the invention by the person skilled in the art after reading the description of the invention are covered by the claims of the present invention.
