Technical field
The present invention relates to the pre-targeting method (pretargeting of the medical imaging for targeting and/or treatment
Method), abiotic (abiotic) reaction demonstrating that bio-orthogonal (bio-orthogonal) is reactive each other is wherein used
Property chemical group.The invention still further relates to containing at least one pre-targeting probe (pre-targeting probe) and at least one
The pre-targeting test kit (kit) of effector probe (effector probe), wherein said pre-targeting probe comprises primary targeting
Partly (primary targeting moiety) and the first bio-orthogonal reaction group, and wherein said effector probe bag
Containing effector part, such as label or pharmaceutically active compound, and the second bio-orthogonal reaction group.The invention still further relates to
The pre-targeting reagent used in said method and test kit.Present invention is particularly directed to nuclear imaging and X-ray therapy.
Background technology
In many fields of medical diagnosis and treatment, it is desirable to optionally by reagent, such as therapeutic agent (medicine) or examine
Disconnected (such as imaging) agent is delivered to the specific site in experimenter (subject) such as patient body or finite region.
The active targeting of organ or tissue is by desired active part (such as contrast-enhancing agent or cytotoxin chemical combination
Thing) being directly or indirectly implemented in combination with targeting structure, its be combined with cell surface or promote at target site interested or
Neighbouring cellular uptake.Targeting moiety for this type of reagent of targeting is typically cell surface target (such as membrane receptor), knot
Structure albumen (such as amyloid plaque) or cell internal target (such as RNA, DNA, enzyme, cell-signaling pathways) have the structure of affinity.
These parts can be antibody (fragment), protein, fit (aptamers), oligopeptide, oligonucleotide, oligosaccharide and peptide, peptidomimetic
(peptoids) and known at specified disease or obstacle accumulation organic drug compound.As selection, contrast/therapeutic agent can
With targeting metabolic pathway, it is expressed in disease (such as infect or cancer) period and raises, such as DNA, protein and film synthesis and
Carbohydrate absorbs.In illing tissue, diseased cells can be distinguished from health tissues and provide in early days by above-mentioned mark
Detection, specific diagnosis and unique probability of (targeting) treatment.
It is it generally for successful molecular imaging/therapeutic agent with especially for one major criterion of nuclear imaging/therapeutic agent
Present the picked-up of high target, demonstrate from non-target tissue simultaneously and quickly remove (by kidney and/or liver and gall system) from blood.
But, this is frequently present of problem: such as, and imaging research in people is it has been shown that through radiolabeled antibody at knub position
In 24 hours, can reach Cmax, but need the concentration of other several days described labeled antibody in the circulating cycle just to decline
To being as little as enough to occur the level of successful imaging.
Slow or insufficient accumulation in target tissue and slowly remove these problems brought from non-target region (special
It is not for nuclear imaging and treatment) already lead to the application of pre-targeting method.
Pre-targeting refers to the step in targeted approach, is wherein provided with pre-targeting to primary target (such as cell surface) and visits
Pin.The latter includes secondary target, and it is finally by further probe (the described effect physical prospecting by being equipped with secondary targeting moiety
Pin) carry out targeting.
So, in pre-targeting, pre-targeting probe is attached to primary target.Described pre-targeting probe also carries secondary target,
It promotes diagnosis (imaging) and/or therapeutic agent, described effector probe specific binding.Forming described pre-targeting probe
Structure have been located at target site after (spend such as 24 hours time), if removing is insufficient naturally, then can make
Remove the part of excess from blood by scavenger.The second incubation step (preferably take relatively short period of time, such as 1-6 hour)
In, described effector probe is attached to described by its secondary targeting moiety (secondary targeting moiety)
The pre-targeting probe that (in advance) combines.Described secondary target (being present on described pre-targeting probe) and described secondary targeting moiety (are deposited
It is on described effector probe) quickly should combine with high specific and high-affinity, and should be stable in vivo.
For imaging, the general concept of pre-targeting is drawn in FIG.Here, described effector probe be comprise for
The image probe of the detectable of imaging pattern.Described effector probe is attached to described by its secondary targeting group
The pre-targeting probe that (in advance) combines.
The general example of secondary target/secondary targeting moiety pair is biotin/streptavidin or antibody/antigen body
System.In order to effectively, described effector probe must quickly from internal discharge (such as passing through kidney) with having desired by providing
The high tumor accumulation of relatively low non-target accumulation.Therefore, these probes are the least.
In nuclear imaging and X-ray therapy, the concept of pre-targeting has further benefit, because spending time taking pre-target
Radionuclide can be required for step to implement, and use the secondary targeting step of radionuclide can be real quickly
Execute.The latter makes it possible for more short-life radionuclide, has the advantage that will minimize the radiological dose of patient, example
As used PET reagent to replace SPECT reagent.In conjunction with multidentate ligand system (streptavidin, dendritic
(dendrimers)) pre-targeting method is used signal can be provided at target site to amplify in mri.Additionally, usual the method
Be conducive to the use of general contrast medium.
Generally (such as antibody-antigene) and especially (biotin-streptavidin, anti-in pre-targeting in biology
Body/hapten, antisense oligonucleotide) implement high selectivity interact entity the biggest.Therefore, peptide and little organic is used
Part is as the pre-targeting of primary targeting group, and metabolic imaging and cell internal target imaging, owing to the size of secondary target makes
The use of little primary group is meaningless and still cannot realize.
And, existing pre-targeting system is limited by the factor relevant to their biological nature.Biotin is endogenous
Molecule, and its conjugate (conjugates) can be disconnected by sero-enzyme biotin enzyme.When using antisense pre-targeting,
Described oligonucleotide can be attacked by RNAse and DNAse.Protein and peptide also experience natural decomposition approach.These phase interactions
With being weakened further by residence time in the non-covalent of them and dynamic characteristic and limited target.And, endogenous biological
Element is combined with biotin conjugate competition streptavidin.Finally, streptavidin is high degree of immunogenicity.
A recent development is to avoid and be based only upon natural/biological targeting structure (i.e. biotin/avidin chain bacterium
Element, antibody/hapten, antisense oligonucleotide) the relevant shortcoming of pre-targeting.
One document of this respect is WO 2010/051530, wherein based on some diene such as tetrazine class and dienophile
Such as trans-cyclooctene alcohol (trans-cyclooctenol, TCO) between reactivity pre-targeting is discussed.
One further document of this respect is Li etc., Chemical Communications, 2010,46
(42), p. 8043-8045, which depict based on 3 ,-diaryl-s-tetrazine and18Between the trans-cyclooctene of F-labelling
The radiolabeling procedure for bioconjugation of Diels-Alder reaction.
Rossin etc., Angew. Chem. Int., Ed 2010,49, p. 3375-3378 relate to by using inverse
The tumor of Diels-Alder reaction (inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction) of electrical requirements
Pre-targeting.
Blackman etc., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2008,130, p. 13518-13519 describe based on inverse

Royzen etc., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2008,130, p. 3760-3761 relate to passing through metal complex
The photochemical syntheses of the trans-cyclooctene of the functionalization driven.
Although being obtained in that relatively quick reaction on the basis of these systems, but this also can not show a candle to above-mentioned biotin-
The reactivity of streptavidin system.Therefore, it is to avoid the shortcoming of the latter, the major requirement of described reaction is but sacrificed, i.e.
Speed.Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a kind of system, it is not based on biomolecule as discussed above, and also has the fastest
Speed reaction rate.

γ-enumerator (Wizard 3, Perkin Elmer) carries out the percentage ratio note counting to determine each organ together with reference material
Penetrate dosage (%ID).
In this study, modified for TCO-CC49 presents the removing (Figure 22) faster than unmodified CC49.For
CC49-TCO and CC49, the half-life (T from the blood that area under a curve calculates1/2=ln2×AUC/C0) it is respectively 22.2
Hour and 26.3 hours.We by this owing to the functionalization of Lys residue on described mAb.As shorter sanguimotor result,
At the end of described experiment, it was additionally observed that less amount of in most of organs125I-CC49-TCO, described organ is at counting
Before do not irrigate (perfused) (Figure 23).
Internal stability
With125The CC49-TCO 44b (the 220 every mices of μ g, 0.4 MBq) of I-labelling to individually group without mice with tumor (n=
3) inject.At selected time point (1,3,6,24,48 and 72 hours) from saphena extraction blood sample (about 50 microlitre)
And be collected in the bottle comprising heparin.MAb is after tetra-days in injection, anaesthetizes described mice and is put to death by neck dislocation.Pass through heart
Puncture extraction blood and remove harmonization of the stomach thyroid, peeling off dry doubling and count to determine often together with reference material in γ-enumerator
The percentage injected dose (%ID) of individual organ.Low in these organs125I picked-up (is 0.17 ± 0.03%ID and in first under one's belt
Shape gland is 0.88 ± 0.33%ID) confirm that described radiolabeled mAb maintains internal label during 4 days evaluate.
Weigh described blood sample, with PBS be diluted to 100 μ L and add excess with 0.1 MBq/ μ g specific activity radiation
The carrier of labelling adds177Lu-tetrazine 28.37 DEG C cultivate described mixture 20 minutes and with 400 × g be centrifuged 5 minutes with
Washed corpuscles.Then 30 μ L of supernatant are applied to Zeba Desalt centrifugal column (0.5 ml, 40 kDa MW cut-offs, Pierce)
Liquid.After Li Xin, from cylinder eluting height MW Diels-Alder product, retain the tetrazine of excess simultaneously.γ-enumerator is adopted
With dual-isotope scheme (for125I be 10-80 keV window and for177Lu is 155-380 keV window) measure in described eluate
The radioactivity comprised.To only comprise177The Serum samples of Lu-tetrazine is for correcting from described cylinder177Lu reveals.About radiation
Property correction for attenuation125Then I counting also calculates177Lu/125I ratio.177Lu/125The reduction of I ratio shows to exist in mouse blood sample
Excess177Lu-tetrazine and125Reaction yield lower between I-CC49-TCO, and therefore show the internal of described TCO group
Inactivation.Figure 24 shows as the intact TCO of %177Lu/125I is than change (being normalized to 100% during t=0) over time.It is worth note
Meaning, after mAb injection less than 48 hours described TCO 44b groups seem be in vivo completely stable (97.8 ±
1.6% intact TCO), and observe that some degrade (being 80.4 ± 1.8% intact TCO after injecting mAb4 days) at more late time point.

177The Lu-tetrazine 28 bio distribution in the mice carrying tumor by CC49-TCO 44b pre-targeting
With125I-CC49 mice (the square method part to carrying tumor;100 mm3Tumor size;N=4) inject
(the 100 every mices of μ g, about 0.2 MBq), described125I-CC49 is with 7.5 TCO44b group functionalizations.MAb 30 and 48 is little in injection
Shi Hou, mice accepts the scavenger (galactose-MSA-tetrazine, 160 μ g/ dosage) of a dosage then makes it connect after 2 hours
It is subject to177Lu-tetrazine 28 (being 10 equivalents relative to described mAb, about 0.5 MBq).Injection tetrazine, after three hours, anaesthetizes described mice
And put to death by neck dislocation, extract blood by cardiac puncture, gather organ interested and tissue peel off dry.Weigh all
Collect sample and add 1 mL PBS.In γ-enumerator use dual-isotope scheme (for125I is 10-80 keV window
With for177Lu is 155-380 keV window) measure sample radioactivity to determine the percentage ratio note of per gram of tissue together with reference material
Penetrate dosage (%ID/g).
Biodistribution data shows125The high tumor uptake of I-CC49-TCO 44b.Described tumor uptake is higher than using other
TCO structure (seeing below) obtain those, the long blood being reasonably because the CC49 with 7.5 TCO-44b group functionalizations follows
Ring.Conversely, because give the scavenger of two dosage, described scavenger catches circulation CC49-TCO and is directed to liver,
It is by rapid metabolization there, and therefore in other organs all, mAb retains is all low.As higher mAb picked-up in tumor
As a result,177The picked-up of Lu-tetrazine is also apparently higher than those (the seeing below) of acquisition in previously experiment.It is additionally, since and is giving
Tracing step (chase step) before tetrazine eliminates the CC49-TCO that non-tumor combines, in other organs all
's177Lu picked-up is insignificant.Kidney is only had to present as the result of tetrazine homaluria at a relatively high177Lu retains.This causes
Target high in the organ of all considerations in addition to kidney is to non-target ratio.It should be noted that present in tumor and blood 34 ±
4% and 10 ± 1% TCOs react with tetrazine the most respectively.
