Integrins are a kind of cell adhesion receptors which constitute a family of heterodimeric glycoprotein complexes formed of α and β subunits and are mainly involved in the cell adhesion to extracellular matrix and the transmission of information from extracellular matrix. Among the integrins, integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5 which are vitronectin receptors are known to be expressed at a low level on epithelial cells or matured endothelial cells while hyper-expressed in various tumor cells or new blood vessels. The hyper-expression of integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5 is considered to be involved in the exacerbation of cancer such as infiltration or metastasis accompanying tumor angiogenesis and be highly correlated to the malignancy (Nature Reviews cancer, Vol. 10, pp. 9-23, 2010). It has been revealed that the hyper-expression of integrin is observed in cancer such as head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, malignant melanoma, pancreatic cancer, and prostatic cancer (Clin. Cancer Res. Vol. 12, pp. 3942-3949, 2006).


Furthermore, it has been revealed that, in the integrin-related diseases such as ischemic diseases including an ischemic heart disease or a peripheral vascular disease, the integrin is hyper-expressed in endothelial cells of blood vessels at the time of angiogenesis following ischemia (Circulation, Vol. 107, pp. 1046-1052, 2003).


The relationship between the aforementioned diseases and the expression of integrin is very interesting as a target of pharmaceutical products, and there are reports relating to the treatment using a low-molecular weight compound (U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,001,961A, 6,130,231A, US2002/169200A, and US2001/53853A) or a compound into which a radioactive isotope is introduced (JP2002-532440A, WO2013/048996, and WO2011/149250A) or relating to the imaging of diseases.


For example, an attempt at performing imaging by using a peptide ligand having an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence is reported in Cancer Res. Vol. 61, pp. 1781-1785, 2001, Cardiovascular Research, Vol. 78, pp. 395-403, 2008, and the like, and an attempt using a non-peptide low-molecular weight compound is reported in Cardiovascular Research, Vol. 78, pp. 395-403, 2008, and the like. In addition, the compound into which 18F of a positron nuclide is introduced (Clin. Cancer Res., Vol. 13, pp. 6610-6616, 2007 and J. Nucl. Med., Vol. 49, pp. 879-886, 2008) is used to portray a human tumor (Cancer Res., Vol. 62, pp. 6146-6151, 2002 and Int. J. Cancer., Vol. 123, pp. 709-715, 2008)

1×107 U87MG cells were transplanted into the subcutaneous space of the right flank of Balb/c AJcl-nu/nu (6 to 9-week-old, KURARAY CO., LTD. or Japan SLC. Inc). After 2 to 3 weeks, at a point in time when the tumor volume became 200 to 500 mm3, 3 mice were sorted into one group at each point in time. The 111In-labeled compound (740 k Bq) was administered into the caudal vein, the animals were sacrificed after a certain period of time, and the tumor was extracted. The weight of the tumor was measured, the radioactivity was measured using a gamma counter, and the radioactivity concentration in tumor (% ID/g) was calculated. For the 64Cu-labeled compound (500 k Bq) and the 90Y-labeled compound (500 k Bq), the radioactivity concentration in tumor (% ID/g) was calculated by the same method. The results are shown below.

Test Example 4 Imaging of Integrin Expression Tumor by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Using [64Cu]-(Compound A) and [64Cu]-(Compound B)

1×107 U87MG cells were transplanted into the subcutaneous space of the right flank of Balb/c AJcl-nu/nu (males, 6 to 9-week-old, KURARAY CO., LTD. or Japan SLC. Inc). After 2 weeks, [64Cu]-(compound A) was administered at 4.8 MBq/mouse into the caudal vein of the mice with a tumor having a volume of 250 mm to 650 mm3. After 1, 4, 24, and 48 hours, the mice were imaged by microPET/CT (Inveon, Siemens Healthcare GmbH) under isoflurane anesthesia. 48 hours after imaging, whole blood was collected from the postcava under deep isoflurane anesthesia, the animals were euthanised, and then the tumor was extracted. The weight of the tumor was measured, the radioactivity was measured using a gamma counter, and the radioactivity concentration in tumor (% ID/g) was calculated. For [64Cu]-(compound B), imaging was performed by the same method.



FIGS. 1 and 2 show PET images relating to each compound captured at each point in time. 1 hour after administration, all of the compounds were found to integrate with the tumor, and the tumor was portrayed within 48 hours. For [64Cu]-(compound A), because the image showed a portion in which the compound was integrated to a low degree in the central portion of the tumor, the tumor extracted after the end of the 48 hours of imaging was observed. As a result, a hematoma matching with the image was found in the central portion. At the time of dissection (48 hours after administration), the radioactivity concentration in tumor was 5.6% ID/g.


Test Example 5 Imaging of Integrin Expression Tumor by Gamma Camera Using [111In]-(Compound A)

1×107 U87MG cells were transplanted into the subcutaneous space of the right flank of Balb/c AJcl-nu/nu (males, 6-week-old, KURARAY CO., LTD). After 2 weeks, a [111In]-(compound A) solution was administered at 1 MBq/mouse into the caudal vein of the mice with a tumor having a volume of 300 mm to 600 mm3. 24, 48, and 72 hours after administration, planar imaging was performed under isoflurane anesthesia by using a gamma camera (Symbia, Siemens Healthcare GmbH). Through image analysis, the radioactivity (% ID) of the tumor was calculated.



FIG. 3 shows the image and the tumor radioactivity at each point in time. Within 24 to 72 hours after administration, the radioactivity of the tumor was higher than that of other organs, and the tumor could be clearly confirmed.


Test Example 6 Imaging of Integrin Expression Tumor Using [111In]-(Compound A) (Intracranial Tumor Model)

1×107 U87MG cells were transplanted into the cranium of Balb/c AJcl-nu/nu (males, 6-week-old, KURARAY CO., LTD) by using a two-stage needle. After 2 to 4 weeks, a [111In]-(compound A) solution was administered at 1 MBq/mouse into the caudal vein of the mice. 24, 48, and 72 hours after administration, planar imaging was performed under isoflurane anesthesia by using a gamma camera (Symbia, Siemens Healthcare GmbH) (FIG. 4). After the final planar imaging was finished, the brain was extracted, and frozen sections were prepared. By bringing some of the tumor sections into contact with an IP plate, integration images were obtained by autoradiography (ARG). For the consecutive sections, hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed, and the tumor was checked. Through planar imaging and ARG, the integration of [111In]-(compound A) matching with the tumor was confirmed in the intracranial tumor model.


Test Example 7 Therapeutic Test on U87MG Subcutaneous Transplantation Model Using [90Y]-(Compound A)

1×107 U87MG cells were transplanted into the subcutaneous space of the right flank of Balb/c Slc-nu/nu (males, 6-week-old, Japan SLC. Inc). After 2 weeks, the mice with a tumor having a volume of 100 to 500 mm3 were grouped. A phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or [90Y]-(compound A) was administered into the caudal vein, and the tumor volume was measured. At a point in time when the tumor volume of the mice of the PBS group exceeded 2,000 mm3 which is a humane endpoint, the antitumor activity was evaluated. As evaluation values, a tumor growth inhibition rate ((1−(average tumor volume of group administered with compound−average tumor volume of group administered with compound before administration)/(average tumor volume of PBS group−average tumor volume of PBS group before administration))×100 (here, in a case where the inhibition rate exceeded 100%, the inhibition rate was regarded as being 100%)) and the number of individuals with a tumor having a volume of equal to or less than the initial tumor volume (number of animals showing regression).

Blood was collected from a crab-eating macaque over time, and by using [111In]-(compound A), from the radioactivity concentration in the blood, kinetic parameters of the compound in blood were calculated by OLINDA/EXM 1.0. Furthermore, by using [111In]-(compound A), from the organ distribution obtained by imaging, the absorbed dose of each organ obtained in a case where the compound is administered to a human being was calculated using OLINDA/EXM 1.0. [111In]-(compound A) (98 MBq/9.3 μg) was administered to a crab-eating macaque (Hamri Co., Ltd., males, 3-year-old, 3.4 kg) under anesthesia. After the administration, blood was collected over time, and imaging was performed using a gamma camera. The blood was collected 10, 30, and 60 minutes after the administration and 2, 4, 5, 6, 24, 48, 72, and 144 hours after the administration. Regarding the imaging, after 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72, and 144 hours, planar imaging was performed using a gamma camera (Symbia, Siemens Healthcare GmbH). Regarding the anesthesia, the animal was anesthetized with ketamine at 20 mg/kg before the administration of [111In]-(compound A) and kept anesthetized until the end of imaging, which was continued for 6 hours after the administration, by inhalation anesthesia (isofluran 2 to 3%, 5 to 8 L/min). After 24 hours, ketamine (20 mg/kg) and xylazine (2 mg/kg) were administered to perform blood collection and imaging.
