Abstract

Most of the reported small molecule-based fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted radioligands are derived from UAMC1110 and contain a 4-difluoro-2-cyanopyrrolidine moiety. In this study, we investigated the effect of replacing the 4-difluoro-2-cyanopyrrolidine moiety of [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 with 2-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-3-carbonitrile on the in vitro/vivo FAP-targeting capability. The newly derived ⁶⁸Ga-labeled FAP-targeted tracer, [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-JC02076, was obtained in 43.5 ± 10.4% decay-corrected radiochemical yield within 33.5 ± 5.8 min (n = 4). The radiochemical purity and molar activity were 97.2 ± 3.4% and 411.6 ± 232.5 GBq/μmol, respectively. Ga-JC02076 showed good binding affinity for FAP (IC₅₀ = 29.7 ± 3.5 nM). Most importantly, [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-JC02076 enabled clear visualization of HEK293T:hFAP tumor xenografts in PET images and had good tumor uptake (7.17 ± 2.19 %ID/g) and excellent tumor-to-bone (17.3 ± 6.99) and tumor-to-muscle (32.3 ± 12.5) uptake ratios at 1 h post-injection. Our data suggest that N-(4-quinolinoyl)-Gly-(2-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-3-carbonitrile) is a promising pharmacophore for the design of FAP-targeted tracers.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Labelled Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals publishes all aspects of research dealing with labeled compound preparation and applications of these compounds. This includes tracer methods used in medical, pharmacological, biological, biochemical and chemical research in vitro and in vivo. The Journal of Labelled Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals devotes particular attention to biomedical research, diagnostic and therapeutic applications of radiopharmaceuticals, covering all stages of development from basic metabolic research and technological development to preclinical and clinical studies based on physically and chemically well characterized molecular structures, coordination compounds and nano-particles.
