Description

Gadolinium-based compounds and MRI contrast agents comprising the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to gadolinium-based compounds and MRI contrast agents comprising the compounds.
Background
Today, as the population ages, patients suffering from degenerative brain diseases continue to grow, and the need for early detection of these diseases is becoming increasingly prominent. Neurodegenerative brain diseases including parkinson's disease, vascular dementia, alzheimer's disease, etc., neurotoxicity caused by excessive accumulation of beta-amyloid polymer (oligo aβ) are considered to be one of the causes of these diseases.
Beta-amyloid (aβ) is the major component of amyloid plaques found in the brains of alzheimer's patients, meaning a 36 to 43 amino acid peptide closely related to alzheimer's disease. The peptides are induced from Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP).
The beta-amyloid molecules can aggregate to form soluble polymers that can exist in a variety of forms, and the beta-amyloid polymers (oligometric aβ) formed are toxic to nerve cells and are well known to be directly involved in the progression of alzheimer's disease if excessively accumulated in the brain. Thus, it is envisioned that detecting changes in the concentration of β -amyloid polymer will enable early diagnosis of degenerative brain diseases.
In addition, magnetic resonance imaging (Magnetic Resonance Image, MRI below) is a method for obtaining human anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry information images by utilizing the phenomenon that hydrogen atoms are relaxed in a magnetic field due to the difference in distribution of hydrogen atoms among tissues in the body. Unlike CT or PET, MRI does not use radiation harmful to the human body, but generates an image in vivo using magnetic field gradients and radio waves under a strong magnetic field, and thus is non-invasive, high in resolution, and excellent for soft tissue examination.
In order to more precisely utilize such an MRI apparatus, a contrast agent (contrast agent) is injected into a subject to obtain an MRI image. Contrast (contrast) between tissues on MRI images is a phenomenon that occurs due to the difference in relaxation (effect) of nuclear spins of water molecules in the tissues to return to an equilibrium state on each tissue. The contrast agent influences the relaxation by using paramagnetic or superparamagnetic materials, pulls the relaxation difference between tissues, causes MRI signal change and makes the contrast between tissues clearer.
At present, the most commonly used in clinicIs a gadolinium (Gd) chelate-based contrast agent. Currently, gd-DTPA is usedGd-DOTA/>Gd(DTPA-BMA)/>Gd(DO3A-HP)Gd(BOPTA)/>Etc. However, most commonly used contrast agents are non-specific contrast agents distributed in the extracellular space (extracellular fluide, ECF). As specific contrast agents only special liver specific contrast agents are used.
Recent studies have driven the development of contrast agents with specific targeting or exhibiting signal enhancement by physiological activity (pH change, enzymatic activity), but to date, MRI contrast agents with specific targeting, in particular specific MRI contrast agents for degenerative brain have not achieved adequate results.

< Gd-DO3A-Hba Performance evaluation method and results >
1) Measurement of relaxation Rate (relaxation)
Using synthetic Gd-DO3A-Hba and cyclic conventional contrast agentsAnd->As a control group, the relaxation rate (r 1 、r 2 ). Specifically, after preparing a model by diluting gadolinium complex with triple distilled water to 5 concentrations (0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1 mM), T was measured in 3T MRI 1 And T 2 Relaxation time (Relaxation time). From this, R (Relaxation rate=1/T) at each concentration was calculated, and the Relaxation rate (R) of gadolinium complex was obtained by linear regression analysis (see fig. 3) 1 、r 2 ) The results of (2) are shown in the following table1。
[ Table 1 ]
Referring to Table 1 above, it can be seen that r of Gd-DO3A-Hba 1 Has a value of 3.6.+ -. 0.1, r 2 Having a value of 4.1.+ -. 0.1 is a relaxation rate value sufficient for clinical use, and thus, it was confirmed that Gd-DO3A-Hba can be used as a contrast agent.
2) Evaluation of kinetic stability (Kinetic stability)
After preparing the model by diluting Gd-DO3A-Hba and various conventional contrast agents to a concentration of 2.5mM in PBS (pH 7.4), 1 equivalent of 250mM zinc chloride (ZnCl) was added 2 ) The binding stability of DO3A ligand and Gd metal ion was evaluated. This can be confirmed by measuring the metal exchange reaction (transition) of zinc ions to gadolinium ions as a change in relaxation rate.
From the observation of FIG. 4 showing the results, it was confirmed that the Gd-DO3A-Hba of the present invention was due to R 2 The rate of change remains close to a value of 1 and therefore has sufficient stability to be used as an MRI contrast agent.
3) Evaluation of pH stability

By measuring R over time 2 The value, the change in value after dilution can be confirmed, and the more constant the value is, the higher the pH stability can be evaluated.
From FIG. 5 showing the results, the Gd-DO3A-Hba of the present invention has R in a range of pH3 to 11 for 3 weeks 2 The values did not change, although slightly under strong acid conditions at pH 1. From this result, it was confirmed that Gd-DO3A-Hba was stable under in vivo pH conditions and remained stable even under strong acid-base conditions.
4) Beta-amyloid polymer targeting evaluation
4-1) model experimental methods for confirming targeting of beta-amyloid polymers
(1) 221.5uL of HFIP was added to 1mg of beta amyloid protein at 1mM concentration, and then shaken at room temperature using a shake flask for 1 hour to remove pre-aggregation (Preaggregation).
(2) After drying the pre-aggregated β -amyloid removed, 221.5uL of DMSO was added to prepare a 1mM concentration, and a suspension was formed by a mixer and sonicator, followed by 878.5uL of PBS (1 x, ph 7.4) to prepare a 0.2mM concentration.
(3) After 4 days of incubation at 37℃using shake flasks, the polymerized beta-amyloid polymer was partitioned into 200uL each and Gd-DO3A-Hba and conventional contrast media dissolved in PBS at a concentration of 2mMAfter 20uL addition, the cells were cultured at 37℃for 24 hours using a shake flask.
(4) After 24 hours, the supernatant was removed by centrifugation, and then after washing the β -amyloid polymer with PBS, 200uL of a solution of PBS: dmso=9:1 was added to the precipitate (Pellet) to prepare an MRI model sample. As a control, a model sample was used that only cultures the β -amyloid polymer.
4-2) analysis results of targeting effect of beta-amyloid Polymer
Using the model samples, gd-DO3A-Hba and conventional contrast agents according to an embodiment of the invention were evaluated on a 9.4T MR deviceIs targeted by the beta-amyloid polymer.
Referring to FIG. 6 showing the results, only the model of the beta-amyloid polymer (Abeta) was cultured and cultured togetherThere is little contrast enhancement effect difference between models (Abeta+Gadovist), thereforeAnalysis was no targeting ability. However, the model treated with Gd-DO3A-Hba (Abeta+Gd-DO 3A-Hba) showed a 2-fold increase in signal intensity compared to the model in which the beta-amyloid polymer alone was cultured. From this, it was confirmed that the gadolinium contrast agent of the present invention has a targeting effect on β -amyloid polymer.
Beta-amyloid aggregates from monomers into highly toxic polymers or plaques in the brain, which can produce toxicity and destroy nerve cells when accumulated in the brain for long periods of time, resulting in degenerative brain diseases, i.e., alzheimer's disease. The Gd-DO3A-Hba according to an embodiment of the present invention has a function of targeting β -amyloid polymer (toxic protein), and thus, can be used as a reagent for diagnosing alzheimer's disease.
5) Evaluation of in vivo (in vivo) efficacy
LPS (lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia coli O127: B8 (Lipopolysaccharides), 50ug/2 uL) was used to induce brain inflammation in the small brain medullary pool (cisterna magna) of Balb/c mice (10 weeks old, male, 23-25 g) with a Hamiltonian syringe. The kit is divided into a control group, namely a physiological saline injection group, an LPS group and a Gd-DO3A-Hba (0.1 mmol Gd/kg) group injected by tail vein after LPS injection. Here, gd-DO3A-Hba was injected twice, and Hippocampus (Hippocampus) and Cortex (Cortex) were extracted at 6 hours and 12 hours after LPS injection, respectively, and the expression level of inflammatory factor (NLRP 3) was quantitatively analyzed by immunoblotting (western blot), and the results are shown in FIG. 7.
It is known that degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are closely related to inflammatory cytokines secreted by activated encephalitis and inflammatory mechanisms centered on various proteins. The NLRP3 inflammatory body pathway (inflammasome pathway) is one of the mechanisms of encephalitis that is being actively studied. In the present invention, it was confirmed from the experimental results shown in FIG. 7 that Gd-DO3A-Hba decreased the main inflammatory factor NLRP3 in the above mechanism. From these results, it was confirmed that Gd-DO3A-Hba of the present invention can be used as an MRI agent, i.e., targeted treatment of neuroinflammation through anti-inflammatory function, and diagnosis of brain diseases caused by neuroinflammation.
Although the invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
