    • HER2 status determination is a necessary step for the proper choice of therapy and selection of patients for the targeted treatment of cancer. Targeted radiotracers such as radiolabeled DARPins provide a noninvasive and effective way for the molecular imaging of HER2 expression. This study aimed to evaluate tumor-targeting properties of three 99mTc-labeled DARPin G3 variants containing Gly-Gly-Gly-Cys (G3C), (Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser)3-Cys ((G3S)3C), or Glu-Glu-Glu-Cys (E3C) amino acid linkers at the C-terminus and conjugated to the HYNIC chelating agent, as well as to compare them with the clinically evaluated DARPin G3 labeled with 99mTc(CO)3 using the (HE)3-tag at the N-terminus. The labeling of DARPin G3-HYNIC variants provided radiochemical yields in the range of 50–80%. Labeled variants bound specifically to human HER2-expressing cancer cell lines with affinities in the range of 0.5–3 nM. There was no substantial influence of the linker and HYNIC chelator on the binding of 99mTc-labeled DARPin G3 variants to HER2 in vitro; however, [99mTc]Tc-G3-(G3S)3C-HYNIC had the highest affinity. Comparative biodistribution of [99mTc]Tc-G3-G3C-HYNIC, [99mTc]Tc-G3-(G3S)3C-HYNIC, [99mTc]Tc-G3-E3C-HYNIC, and [99mTc]Tc-(HE)3-G3 in healthy CD1 mice showed that there was a strong influence of the linkers on uptake in normal tissues. [99mTc]Tc-G3-E3C-HYNIC had an increased retention of activity in the liver and the majority of other organs compared to the other conjugates. The tumor uptake of [99mTc]Tc-G3-(G3S)3C-HYNIC and [99mTc]Tc-(HE)3-G3 in Nu/j mice bearing SKOV-3 xenografts was similar. The specificity of tumor targeting in vivo was demonstrated for both tracers. [99mTc]Tc-G3-(G3S)3C-HYNIC provided comparable, although slightly lower tumor-to-lung, tumor-to spleen and tumor-to-liver ratios than [99mTc]Tc-(HE)3-G3. Radiolabeling of DARPin G3-HYNIC conjugates with 99mTc provided the advantage of a single-step radiolabeling procedure; however, the studied HYNIC conjugates did not improve imaging contrast compared to the 99mTc-tricarbonyl-labeled DARPin G3. At this stage, [99mTc]Tc-(HE)3-G3 remains the most promising candidate for the clinical imaging of HER2-overexpressing cancers.

  • A Comparison of in vivo Half-life Extension of Affibody-Drug Conjugates by PASylation, XTENylation and Albumin Binding
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Drug conjugates based on engineered scaffold affinity proteins hold promise to become potent targeted cancer drugs in the future, and an important aspect is to provide them with optimal pharmacokinetic properties. In this study, we investigated different half-life extension technologies for HER2-specific affibody-drug conjugates (AffiDCs), and the effect they imposed on the uptake in tumors and normal organs and tissues. Two sizes of unstructured PAS and XTEN polypeptides (PAS300, PAS600, XTEN288, and XTEN576) and an albumin binding domain (ABD) were used for the comparison. The results showed that extension with the PAS or XTEN polypeptides as well as the addition of the ABD did not affect HER2 binding or the cytotoxic potential negatively. There was a difference in half-lives in mice, which ranged from 7.3 h for the construct including PAS300 to 11.6 h for the construct including the PAS600 polypeptide. The highest absolute tumor uptake was found for the construct including the ABD, even though it did not have the longest in vivo half-life (9.0 h). Consequently, the construct with the ABD gave the highest tumor-to-normal-organ ratios. In conclusion, PASylation, XTENylation, and the addition of an ABD appear to be viable strategies for half-life extension of affibody drug conjugates, with the best in vivo performance observed for the construct including the ABD.

    • A critical parameter during the development of protein therapeutics is to endow them with suitable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Small protein drugs are quickly eliminated by kidney filtration, and in vivo half-life extension is therefore often desired. Here, different half-life extension technologies were studied where PAS polypeptides (PAS300, PAS600), XTEN polypeptides (XTEN288, XTEN576), and an albumin binding domain (ABD) were compared for half-life extension of an anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) affibody-drug conjugate. The results showed that extension with the PAS or XTEN polypeptides or the addition of the ABD lowered the affinity for HER2 to some extent but did not negatively affect the cytotoxic potential. The half-lives in mice ranged from 7.3 h for the construct including PAS300 to 11.6 h for the construct including PAS600. The highest absolute tumor uptake was found for the construct including the ABD, which was 60 to 160% higher than the PASylated or XTENylated constructs, even though it did not have the longest half-life (9.0 h). A comparison of the tumor-to-normal-organ ratios showed the best overall performance of the ABD-fused construct. In conclusion, PASylation, XTENylation, and the addition of an ABD are viable strategies for half-life extension of affibody-drug conjugates, with the best performance observed for the construct including the ABD.

  • Influence of the Position and Composition of Radiometals and Radioiodine Labels on Imaging of Epcam Expression in Prostate Cancer Model Using the DARPin Ec1

    • Simple Summary Metastasis-targeting therapy might improve outcomes in oligometastatic prostate cancer. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is overexpressed in 40-60% of prostate cancer cases and might be used as a target for specific delivery of toxins and drugs. Radionuclide molecular imaging could enable non-invasive detection of EpCAM and stratification of patients for targeted therapy. Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) are scaffold proteins, which can be selected for specific binding to different targets. The DARPin Ec1 binds strongly to EpCAM. To determine an optimal design of Ec1-based probes, we labeled Ec1 at two different positions with four different nuclides (Ga-68, In-111, Co-57 and I-125) and investigated the impact on Ec1 biodistribution. We found that the C-terminus is the best position for labeling and that In-111 and I-125 provide the best imaging contrast. This study might be helpful for scientists developing imaging probes based on scaffold proteins. The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is intensively overexpressed in 40-60% of prostate cancer (PCa) cases and can be used as a target for the delivery of drugs and toxins. The designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin) Ec1 has a high affinity to EpCAM (68 pM) and a small size (18 kDa). Radiolabeled Ec1 might be used as a companion diagnostic for the selection of PCa patients for therapy. The study aimed to investigate the influence of radiolabel position (N- or C-terminal) and composition on the targeting and imaging properties of Ec1. Two variants, having an N- or C-terminal cysteine, were produced, site-specifically conjugated to a DOTA chelator and labeled with cobalt-57, gallium-68 or indium-111. Site-specific radioiodination was performed using ((4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethyl)maleimide (HPEM). Biodistribution of eight radiolabeled Ec1-probes was measured in nude mice bearing PCa DU145 xenografts. In all cases, positioning of a label at the C-terminus provided the best tumor-to-organ ratios. The non-residualizing [I-125]I-HPEM label provided the highest tumor-to-muscle and tumor-to-bone ratios and is more suitable for EpCAM imaging in early-stage PCa. Among the radiometals, indium-111 provided the highest tumor-to-blood, tumor-to-lung and tumor-to-liver ratios and could be used at late-stage PCa. In conclusion, label position and composition are important for the DARPin Ec1.

  • Synthesis, I-123-Radiolabeling Optimization, and Initial Preclinical Evaluation of Novel Urea-Based PSMA Inhibitors with a Tributylstannyl Prosthetic Group in Their Structures

    • Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been identified as a target for the development of theranostic agents. In our current work, we describe the design and synthesis of novel N-[N-[(S)-1,3-dicarboxypropyl]carbamoyl]-(S)-L-lysine (DCL) urea-based PSMA inhibitors with a chlorine-substituted aromatic fragment at the lysine & epsilon;-nitrogen atom, a dipeptide including two phenylalanine residues in the L-configuration as the peptide fragment of the linker, and 3- or 4-(tributylstannyl)benzoic acid as a prosthetic group in their structures for radiolabeling. The standard compounds [I-127]PSMA-m-IB and [I-127]PSMA-p-IB for comparative and characterization studies were first synthesized using two alternative synthetic approaches. An important advantage of the alternative synthetic approach, in which the prosthetic group (NHS-activated esters of compounds) is first conjugated with the polypeptide sequence followed by replacement of the Sn(Bu)(3) group with radioiodine, is that the radionuclide is introduced in the final step of synthesis, thereby minimizing operating time with iodine-123 during the radiolabeling process. The obtained DCL urea-based PSMA inhibitors were radiolabeled with iodine-123. The radiolabeling optimization results showed that the radiochemical yield of [I-123]PSMA-p-IB was higher than that of [I-123]PSMA-m-IB, which were 74.9 & PLUSMN; 1.0% and 49.4 & PLUSMN; 1.2%, respectively. The radiochemical purity of [I-123]PSMA-p-IB after purification was greater than 99.50%. The initial preclinical evaluation of [I-123]PSMA-p-IB demonstrated a considerable affinity and specific binding to PC-3 PIP (PSMA-expressing cells) in vitro. The in vivo biodistribution of this new radioligand [I-123]PSMA-p-IB showed less accumulation than [Lu-177]Lu-PSMA-617 in several normal organs (liver, kidney, and bone). These results warrant further preclinical development, including toxicology evaluation and experiments in tumor-bearing mice.

    • Non-invasive radionuclide imaging of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) expression in breast, gastroesophageal, and ovarian cancers may stratify patients for treatment using HER2-targeted therapeutics. Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) are a promising type of targeting probe for radionuclide imaging. In clinical studies, the DARPin [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 labeled using a peptide-based chelator His-Glu-His-Glu-His-Glu ((HE)(3)), provided clear imaging of HER2 expressing breast cancer 2-4 h after injection. The goal of this study was to evaluate if the use of cysteine-containing peptide-based chelators Glu-Glu-Glu-Cys (E3C), Gly-Gly-Gly-Cys (G(3)C), and Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser-Cys connected via a (Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser)(3)-linker (designated as G3-(G(3)S)(3)C) would further improve the contrast of imaging using Tc-99m-labeled derivatives of G3. The labeling of the new variants of G3 provided a radiochemical yield of over 95%. Labeled G3 variants bound specifically to human HER2-expressing cancer cell lines with affinities in the range of 1.9-5 nM. Biodistribution of [Tc-99m]Tc-G3-G(3)C, [Tc-99m]Tc-G3-(G(3)S)(3)C, and [Tc-99m]Tc-G3-E3C in mice was compared with the biodistribution of [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3. It was found that the novel variants provide specific accumulation in HER2-expressing human xenografts and enable discrimination between tumors with high and low HER2 expression. However, [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 provided better contrast between tumors and the most frequent metastatic sites of HER2-expressing cancers and is therefore more suitable for clinical applications.

  • Synthesis and Preclinical Evaluation of Urea-Based Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen-Targeted Conjugates Labeled with 177Lu

    • 177Lu-labeled small-molecule prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted tracers are therapeutic agents for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Optimizing molecular design holds the potential to further enhance the pharmacokinetic properties of PSMA-targeted agents while preserving their potent therapeutic effects. In this study, six novel N-[N-[(S)-1,3-dicarboxypropyl]carbamoyl]-(S)-l-lysine (DCL) urea-based PSMA ligand 2,2′,2″,2‴-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayl)tetraacetic acid conjugates were synthesized. These conjugates feature polypeptide linkers containing the Phe-Phe peptide sequence and an aromatic fragment at the ε-NH-Lys group of the DCL fragment. The synthesis yielded products with satisfactory yields ranging from 60% to 72%, paving the way for their preclinical evaluation. The labeling of the new variants of urea-based PSMA inhibitors provided a radiochemical yield of over 95%. The 177Lu-labeled conjugates demonstrated specific and moderate affinity binding to PSMA-expressing human cancer cells PC3-pip in vitro and specific accumulation in PSMA-expressing xenografts in vivo. Based on the results, both the lipophilicity and the type of substituent in the linker significantly influence the binding properties of the PSMA inhibitor and its biodistribution profile. Specifically, the studied variants containing a bromine substituent or a hydroxyl group introduced into the aromatic fragment of the phenylalanyl residue in DCL exhibit higher affinities to PSMA compared to variants with only a chlorine-substituted aromatic fragment or variants without any substituents. The [177Lu]Lu-13C with the bromine substituent was characterized by the highest activity accumulation in blood, salivary glands, muscle, bone, and gastrointestinal tract and had inasmuch as an unfavorable pharmacokinetic profile. The negative charge of the carboxyl group in the phenyl moiety of the [177Lu]Lu-13A variant has demonstrated a positive effect on reducing the retention of activity in the liver and the kidneys (the ratio of tumor to kidneys was 1.3-fold). Low accumulation in normal tissues in vivo indicates that this novel PSMA-targeting inhibitor is a promising radioligand.
