    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

    [0056] Cancer, a disease in which some cells undergo a genetic change in the control of their growth and replication that results in uncontrolled growth and spreading, is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. General types of cancers include solid tumors (cancers that typically originate in organs), carcinomas (cancers that originate in skin or tissues that line organs), sarcomas (cancers of connective tissues such as bones), leukemias (cancers of bone marrow), and lymphomas and myelomas (cancers of the immune system). Neoplasms are abnormal growth of cells that result in solid tumors which may be benign (i.e. do not display malignant features and are generally unlikely to become dangerous such as adenomas), malignant (i.e. display features such as genetic mutations, loss of normal function, rapid division, and ability metastasize (invade) to other tissues), and of uncertain or unknown behavior. State-of-the-art treatment of neoplasms is accomplished by a combination of surgical procedures, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Surgical procedures can be curative under some conditions, but often requires multiple interventions as well as combination with radiation and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy proves to be a potent weapon in the fight against cancer in many cases. Chemotherapy is typically performed by systemic administration of potent cytotoxic drugs, but these compounds often lack tumor selectivity and therefore also kill healthy cells in the body. The resulting nonspecific toxicity is the cause of severe side effects of chemotherapy which does not target the cancerous cells specifically over other cells. Radiotherapy is the use of high-energy radiation to kill cells. The source of radiation may be external-beam radiation (applied using an external source), internal radiation (placement of a radioactive material near the target cells), or radiotherapy from the systemic administration of a radioactive material. Like chemotherapy, many radiation therapy options also lack tumor cell identification properties needed to achieve the ultimate goal of targeted tumor therapy with drug molecules or radionuclides.

    [0057] Described herein are radiopharmaceuticals that selectively deliver radionuclides to malignant cells that overexpress NPY.sub.1R for use in cancer detection, image guided cancer surgery, and selective tumor killing.

    [0058] GPCRs are generally poorly antigenic making them difficult targets for antibody-based strategies. The large size of antibodies can impact homogenous uptake and they may be unable to penetrate deep in solid tumors. Additionally, antibodies may present difficulties during production, including inter-batch variability.

    [0059] Peptides are intrinsically sensitive to proteolytic enzymes and peptidases present in most tissues may rapidly degrade the peptides into multiple fragments which no longer have significant affinity to the intended receptors. In addition, peptides may cause unwanted immunogenic responses complicating later stages of development by masking the therapeutic effect and impacting the safety assessment.

    [0060] When peptide ligands are linked to radionuclide payloads, the resulting conjugates often degrade apart rapidly in blood plasma and produce cytotoxic or radioactive peptide fragments which may nonspecifically bind to both tumor and normal tissue. Such premature breakdown of peptide radionuclide conjugates reduce the amount of radionuclide payloads distributed to targeted tumors, lowering treatment efficacy, and possibly increasing toxicity. In addition, peptides are most likely exclusively excreted via kidney, which may limit their applications. Marked kidney uptake of some peptide-based therapeutics has limited their routine use.

    [0061] High affinity, small molecule ligands that bind GPCRs have been described and are cell permeable and can access populations of receptors in endoplasmic reticulum and endosomes.

    [0062] Owing to the low molecular weight of small molecules, vascular permeability and tumor penetration should be improved compared to high molecular weight conjugates based on peptides and antibodies. The affinity of small molecule ligands in many cases surpasses that of FDA approved antibodies by orders of magnitude.

    The Neuropeptide Y Receptor (NPYR)

    [0063] Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors belong to the class A of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). These receptors are involved in the control of a diverse set of behavioral processes including appetite, circadian rhythm, and anxiety. The four functionally expressed subtypes in humans (NPY.sub.1R, NPY.sub.2R, NPY.sub.4R and NPY.sub.5R) are distributed in the central nervous system and in the periphery. They are activated by the endogenous peptides neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). The NPY.sub.1R was shown to be overexpressed in different types of cancer (e.g., breast cancer). Therefore, NPY.sub.1R ligands carrying radionuclide cargoes offer a new modality in the imaging and treatment of cancers.

    Breast Cancer

    [0064] Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the breast. It can start in one or both breasts, and in various parts of the breast. There are many types of breast cancer, and a breast cancer's type is determined by the specific cells in the breast that become cancer.

    Breast Cancer Types

    [0065] Most breast cancers are carcinomas, which are tumors that start in the epithelial cells that line organs and tissues throughout the body. When carcinomas form in the breast, they are usually a more specific type called adenocarcinoma, which starts in cells in the ducts (the milk ducts) or the lobules (glands in the breast that make milk).

    [0066] The type of breast cancer can also refer to whether the cancer has spread or not. In situ breast cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ or DCIS) is a pre-cancer that starts in a milk duct and has not grown into the rest of the breast tissue. The term invasive (or infiltrating) breast cancer is used to describe any type of breast cancer that has spread (invaded) into the surrounding breast tissue.

    Breast Cancer Staging

    [0067] The staging system most often used for breast cancer is the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM system. The most recent AJCC system, effective January 2018, has both clinical and pathologic staging systems for breast cancer:

    [0068] The pathologic stage (also called the surgical stage) is determined by examining tissue removed during an operation.

    [0069] Sometimes, if surgery is not possible right away or at all, the cancer will be given a clinical stage instead. This is based on the results of a physical exam, biopsy, and imaging tests.

    [0070] The clinical stage is used to help plan treatment. Sometimes, though, the cancer has spread further than the clinical stage estimates and may not predict the patient's outlook as accurately as a pathologic stage.

    [0071] In both staging systems, seven key pieces of information are used: [0072] i. The extent (size) of the tumor (T); [0073] ii. The spread to nearby lymph nodes (N); [0074] iii. The spread (metastasis) to distant sites (M); [0075] iv. Estrogen Receptor (ER) status; [0076] v. Progesterone Receptor (PR) status; [0077] vi. HER2 status; and [0078] vii. Grade of the cancer (G).

    [0079] In addition, Oncotype Dx? Recurrence Score results may also be considered in the stage in certain situations. Once all of these factors have been determined, this information is combined in a process called stage grouping to assign an overall stage.

    Breast Cancer Treatment

    [0080] Tumors can form in the breasts. The types of treatment currently used to treat breast tumors include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy.

    [0081] There are two main types of surgery to remove breast cancer: breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy. Breast-conserving surgery is surgery to remove the cancer as well as some surrounding normal tissue. Only the part of the breast containing the cancer is removed. How much breast is removed depends on where and how big the tumor is, as well as other factors. This surgery is also called a lumpectomy, quadrantectomy, partial mastectomy, or segmental mastectomy. Mastectomy is a surgery in which the entire breast is removed, including all of the breast tissue and sometimes other nearby tissues. There are several different types of mastectomies. Some women may also have both breasts removed in a double mastectomy. Sometimes surgery is done to remove the nearby lymph nodes and other tissue where the cancer has spread.

    [0082] Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy: external radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the area of the body with cancer; internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. Additionally, targeted radiopharmaceuticals can provide targeted radiation to the site of the tumor. Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

    [0083] Thus, a need exists for treatment options for breast tumors. Described herein are radiopharmaceuticals that target delivery of radionuclides to breast tumors, which overexpress the NPY.sub.1R. Targeted therapies usually cause less harm to normal cells than chemotherapy or radiation therapy do.

    [0084] Solid Tumors: Benign and/or Malignant Neoplasms (Cancer)

    [0085] In one aspect, the NPY.sub.1R radiopharmaceuticals described herein are used to treat benign and/or malignant neoplasms (solid tumors), wherein the neoplasm comprises cells that overexpress NPY.sub.1R on the cell surface.

    [0086] The term neoplasm as used herein, refers to an abnormal growth of cells that may proliferate in an uncontrolled way and may have the ability to metastasize (spread).

    [0087] Neoplasms include solid tumors, adenomas, carcinomas, sarcomas, leukemias and lymphomas, at any stage of the disease with or without metastases.

    [0088] A solid tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that usually does not contain cysts or liquid areas. Solid tumors may be benign (not cancer), or malignant (cancer). Different types of solid tumors are named for the type of cells that form them. Examples of solid tumors are sarcomas, carcinomas, and lymphomas. Leukemias (cancers of the blood) generally do not form solid tumors.

    [0089] Solid tumors are cancers that typically originate in organs, such as the bladder, bowel, brain, breast, endometrium, heart, kidney, lung, liver, uterus, ovaries, pancreas or other endocrine organs (thyroid), and prostate.

    [0090] In some embodiments, the NPY.sub.1R radiopharmaceuticals described herein are used to treat an adenoma. An adenoma is a tumor that is not cancer. It starts in gland-like cells of the epithelial tissue (thin layer of tissue that covers organs, glands, and other structures within the body). An adenoma can grow from many glandular organs, including the adrenal glands, pituitary gland, thyroid, prostate, and others. Even though benign, they have the potential to cause serious health complications by compressing other structures (mass effect) and by producing large amounts of hormones in an unregulated, non-feedback-dependent manner (causing paraneoplastic syndromes). Over time adenomas may transform to become malignant, at which point they are called adenocarcinomas.

    [0091] Adenomas may be found in the colon (e.g., adenomatous polyps, which have a tendency to become malignant and to lead to colon cancer), kidneys (e.g., renal adenomas may be precursor lesions to renal carcinomas), adrenal glands (e.g., adrenal adenomas; some secrete hormones such as cortisol, causing Cushing's syndrome, aldosterone causing Conn's syndrome, or androgens causing hyperandrogenism), thyroid (e.g., thyroid adenoma), pituitary (e.g., pituitary adenomas, such as prolactinoma, Cushing's disease and acromegaly), parathyroid (e.g., an adenoma of a parathyroid gland may secrete inappropriately high amounts of parathyroid hormone and thereby cause primary hyperparathyroidism), liver (e.g., hepatocellular adenoma), breast (e.g., fibroadenomas), appendix (e.g., cystadenoma), bronchial (e.g., bronchial adenomas may cause carcinoid syndrome, a type of paraneoplastic syndrome), prostate (e.g., prostate adenoma), sebaceous gland (e.g., sebaceous adenoma), and salivary glands.

    [0092] Metastasis is the spread of malignant cells to new areas of the body, often by way of the lymph system or bloodstream. A metastatic tumor is one that has spread from the primary site of origin, or where it started, into different areas of the body. Metastatic tumors comprise malignant cells that may express cell surface NPY.sub.1R.

    [0093] Tumors formed from cells that have spread are called secondary tumors. Tumors may have spread to areas near the primary site, called regional metastasis, or to parts of the body that are farther away, called distant metastasis.

    [0094] In some embodiments, the tumor to be treated comprises tumor cells expressing NPY.sub.1R, wherein the tumor is a primary or metastatic tumor. In some embodiments, the tumor to be treated comprises tumor cells expressing NPY.sub.1R, wherein the tumor is a primary or metastatic tumor of breast origin.

    Radionuclide Complexes

    [0220] Radiopharmaceuticals have increasingly become very useful tools for physicians to diagnose, stage, treat, and monitor the progression of several diseases, especially cancer. The primary difference between radiopharmaceuticals and other pharmaceutical drugs is that radiopharmaceuticals contain a radionuclide. The nuclear decay properties of the radionuclide determine whether a radiopharmaceutical will be used clinically as a diagnostic agent or as a therapeutic agent. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals require radionuclides that emit either gamma (?) rays or positrons (?+), which subsequently annihilate with nearby electrons to produce two 511 keV annihilation photons emitted approximately 180? away from each other. Gamma ray-emitting radionuclides (e. g. .sup.99mTc, .sup.111In, .sup.201Tl, etc.) are useful for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), while positron-emitting radionuclides (e. g. .sup.18F, .sup.89Zr, .sup.68Ga, etc.) are useful for positron emission tomography (PET).

    [0221] In contrast, therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals require radionuclides that emit particulate radiation, such as alpha (?) particles, beta (??) particles, or Auger electrons. These particles, which strongly interact with target tissues (e. g. cancerous tumor) and lead to extensive localized ionization, can damage chemical bonds in DNA molecules and potentially induce cytotoxicity.

    [0222] For most nuclear medicine applications, it is desired that a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical is paired with a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical. This concept is commonly known as theranostics. As a first step in the theranostic concept, a target molecule labeled with a diagnostic radionuclide is used for quantitative imaging of a tumor imaging biomarker, either by positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Then it is demonstrated that, with this targeted molecule, a tumoricidal radiation absorbed dose can be delivered to tumor and metastases, as a second step, via administration of the same or a similar target molecule labeled with a therapeutic radionuclide.

    [0223] In some embodiments, the chemical and pharmacokinetic behaviors of both the diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals match. In some embodiments, the diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides are a chemically identical radioisotope pair (also known as a matched pair). One example of a matched pair for theranostic radiopharmaceutical applications is the .sup.123I/.sup.131I pair, where .sup.123I-labeled compounds are used for diagnosis, while .sup.131I-labeled compounds are used for therapy. Other theranostic matched pairs include .sup.44Sc/.sup.47Sc, 64Cu/.sup.67Cu, .sup.72As/.sup.77As, .sup.86Y/.sup.90Y, and .sup.203Pb/.sup.212Pb, among others. Alternatively, radionuclide pairs from different elements can be utilized for theranostic radiopharmaceutical development when their chemistry is very similar (e. g. .sup.99mTc/.sup.186/188Re) and there is no significant difference in the pharmacokinetic behavior between the diagnostic and therapeutic analogues. Another example is the .sup.68Ga/.sup.177Lu pair, where .sup.68Ga is used for diagnosis and .sup.177Lu is used for therapy. For example, gastroenteropancreatic endocrine tumors express high amounts of sst2 receptor that can be targeted with somatostatin receptor scintigraphy for diagnostic purposes with a .sup.68Ga sst2 ligand conjugate ([.sup.68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE (NETSPOT?) or [.sup.68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC (DOTA-(D-Phel,Tyr3)-octreotide, SomaKit TOC?)), followed by treatment with a .sup.177Lu sst2 ligand conjugate ([.sup.177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE) for endoradiotherapy.

    [0224] Chelating Moieties Used to Generate Metal (Radionuclide) Complexes

    [0225] The compounds described herein comprise at least one R.sup.A or R.sup.B group, wherein R.sup.A or R.sup.B is a chelating moiety capable of chelating a radionuclide (Z), or radionuclide complex thereof. In some embodiments, any suitable group or atom(s) of the chelator are used to connect, via an optional linker, to the NPY.sup.1R targeting ligand.

    [0226] In some embodiments, the chelator is capable of binding a radioactive atom. In some embodiments, the binding is direct, e.g., the chelator makes hydrogen bonds or electrostatic interactions with a radioactive atom. In some embodiments, the binding is indirect, e.g., the chelator binds to a molecule that comprises a radioactive atom. In some embodiments, the chelator is or comprises a macrocycle.

    [0227] In some embodiments, the chelator comprises one or more amine groups. In some embodiments, the metal chelator comprises two or more amine groups. In some embodiments, the chelator comprises three or more amine groups. In some embodiments, the chelator comprises four or more amine groups. In some embodiments, the chelator includes 4 or more N atoms, 4 or more carboxylic acid groups, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the chelator does not comprise S. In some embodiments, the chelator comprises a ring. In some embodiments, the ring comprises an O and/or a N atom. In some embodiments, the chelator is a ring that includes 3 or more N atoms, 3 or more carboxylic acid groups, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the chelator is polydentate ligand, bidentate ligand, or monodentate ligand. Polydentate ligands range in the number of atoms used to bond to a metal atom or ion. EDTA, a hexadentate ligand, is an example of a polydentate ligand that has six donor atoms with electron pairs that can be used to bond to a central metal atom or ion. Bidentate ligands have two donor atoms which allow them to bind to a central metal atom or ion at two points. Ethylenediamine (en) and the oxalate ion (ox) are examples of bidentate ligands.

    [0254] Metals (Radionuclides)

    [0255] In some embodiments, Z is an Auger electron-emitting radionuclide. In some embodiments, Z is an ?-emitting radionuclide. In some embodiments, Z is a ?-emitting radionuclide. In some embodiments, Z is a ?-emitting radionuclide. In some embodiments, the type of radionuclide used in a non-peptide targeted therapeutic compound can be tailored to the specific type of cancer, the type of targeting moiety (e.g., non-peptide ligand), etc. Radionuclides that undergo ?-decay emit ?-particles (helium ions with a +2 charge) from their nuclei. As a result of ?-decay the daughter nuclide has 2 protons less and 2 neutrons less than the parent nuclide. This means that in ?-decay, the proton number is reduced by 2 while the nucleon number is reduced by 4. Radionuclides that undergo ?-decay emit ?-particles (electrons) from their nuclei. During ?-decay, one of the neutrons changes into a proton and an electron. The proton remains in the nucleus while the electron is emitted as a ?-particle. This means that in ?-decay, the nucleus loses a neutron but gains a proton. In ?-decay, a nucleus in an excited state (higher energy state) emits a ?-ray photon to change to a lower energy state. There is no change in the proton number and nucleon number during the ?-decay. The emission of ?-rays often accompanies the emission of ?-particles and ?-particles.

    [0256] Auger electrons (AEs) are very low energy electrons that are emitted by radionuclides that decay by electron capture (EC) (e.g., .sup.111In, .sup.67Ga, .sup.99mTc, .sup.195mPt, .sup.125I and .sup.123I). This energy is deposited over nanometer-micrometer distances, resulting in high linear energy transfer that is potent for causing lethal damage in cancer cells. Thus, AE-emitting radiotherapeutic agents have great potential for treatment of cancer.

    [0257] ?-Particles are electrons emitted from the nucleus. They typically have a longer range in tissue (of the order of 1-5 mm) and are the most frequently used.

    [0258] ?-Particles are helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons) that are emitted from the nucleus of a radioactive atom. Depending on their emission energy, they can travel 50-100 ?m in tissue. They are positively charged and are orders of magnitude larger than electrons. The amount of energy deposited per path length travelled (designated linear energy transfer) of ?-particles is approximately 400 times greater than that of electrons. This leads to substantially more damage along their path than that caused by electrons. An ?-particle track leads to a preponderance of complex and largely irreparable DNA double-strand breaks. The absorbed dose required to achieve cytotoxicity relates to the number of ?-particles traversing the cell nucleus. With use of this as a measure, cytotoxicity may be achieved with a range of 1 to 20 ?-particle traversals of the cell nucleus. The resulting high potency, combined with the short range of ?-particles (which reduces normal organ toxicity), has led to substantial interest in developing ?-particle-emitting agents. The ?-particle emitters typically used include bismuth-212, lead-212, bismuth-213, actinium-225, radium-223 and thorium-227.

    [0259] In some embodiments, Z is a diagnostic or therapeutic radionuclide.

    [0287] In some embodiments, a conjugate described herein is designed to have a prescribed elimination profile. The elimination profile can be designed by adjusting the sequence and length of the non-peptide ligand, the property of the linker, the type of radionuclide, etc. In some embodiments, the conjugate has an elimination half-life of about 5 minutes to about 12 hours. In some embodiments, the conjugate has an elimination half-life of about 10 minutes to about 8 hours. In some embodiments, the conjugate has an elimination half-life of at least about 15 minutes, at least about 30 minutes, at least about 1 hour, at least about 2 hours, at least about 3 hours, at least about 4 hours, at least about 5 hours, at least about 6 hours, at least about 8 hours.

In some embodiments, the elimination half-life is determined in rats. In some embodiments, the elimination half-life is determined in humans.

    [0288] A herein described conjugate can have an elimination half-life in a tumor and non-tumor tissue of the subject.

    [0291] Radiation dosimetry is the measurement, calculation and assessment of the ionizing radiation dose absorbed by an object, usually the human body, and may be thought of as the ability to perform the equivalent of a pharmacodynamic study in treated patients in real time. This applies both internally, due to ingested or inhaled radioactive substances, or externally due to irradiation by sources of radiation. Dosimetry analysis may be performed as part of patient treatment to calculate tumor versus normal organ absorbed dose and therefore the likelihood of treatment success.

    [0292] A conjugate described herein can have a prescribed time-integrated activity coefficient (i.e., ?) in a tumor or non-tumor tissues of a subject. As used herein, ? represents the cumulative number of nuclear transformations occurring in a source tissue over a dose-integration period per unit administered activity. The ? value of a conjugate can be tuned by modifications of the NPDC. The ? value can be determined using a method known in the art. In some embodiments, the ? value of the conjugate in a tumor is from about 10 minutes to about 1 day. The ? value of the conjugate in a tumor can be the same as the ? value of the conjugate in a non-tumor tissue of the subject. The ? value of the conjugate in a tumor can be longer or shorter than the ? value of the conjugate in a non-tumor tissue of the subject.

    Synthesis of Compounds

    [0393] Compounds described herein are synthesized using standard synthetic techniques or using methods known in the art in combination with methods described herein.

    [0394] Unless otherwise indicated, conventional methods of mass spectroscopy, NMR, and HPLC are employed.

    [0395] Compounds are prepared using standard organic chemistry techniques such as those described in, for example, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 6.sup.th Edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc. Alternative reaction conditions for the synthetic transformations described herein may be employed such as variation of solvent, reaction temperature, reaction time, as well as different chemical reagents and other reaction conditions.

    [0396] In one aspect, compounds described herein are in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. In addition, the compounds described herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. The solvated forms of the compounds presented herein are also considered to be disclosed herein.

    [0397] The term pharmaceutically acceptable salt refers to a form of a therapeutically active agent that consists of a cationic form of the therapeutically active agent in combination with a suitable anion, or in alternative embodiments, an anionic form of the therapeutically active agent in combination with a suitable cation. Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection and Use. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Wiley-VCH 2002. S. M. Berge, L. D. Bighley, D. C. Monkhouse, J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19. P. H. Stahl and C. G. Wermuth, editors, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection and Use, Weinheim/Z?rich:Wiley-VCH/VHCA, 2002. Pharmaceutical salts typically are more soluble and more rapidly soluble in stomach and intestinal juices than non-ionic species and so are useful in solid dosage forms. Furthermore, because their solubility often is a function of pH, selective dissolution in one or another part of the digestive tract is possible, and this capability can be manipulated as one aspect of delayed and sustained release behaviors. Also, because the salt-forming molecule can be in equilibrium with a neutral form, passage through biological membranes can be adjusted.

    [0398] In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are obtained by reacting a compound of Formula (I) or (II), with an acid. In some embodiments, the acid is an organic acid or an inorganic acid.

Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of compounds described herein are conveniently prepared or formed during the processes described herein. In addition, the compounds provided herein optionally exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms.

    [0402] In some embodiments, any one of the hydrogen atoms on the organic radicals (e.g., alkyl groups, aromatic rings) of compounds described herein are replaced with deuterium.

In some embodiments, the diastereomeric ratio is from about 60:40 to about 50:50. In some embodiments, the diastereomeric ratio is from about 55:45 to about 45:55.

    [0404] Individual stereoisomers are obtained, if desired, by methods such as, stereoselective synthesis and/or the separation of stereoisomers by chiral chromatographic columns or the separation of diastereomers by either non-chiral or chiral chromatographic columns or crystallization and recrystallization in a proper solvent or a mixture of solvents. In certain embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereoisomeric compounds/salts, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure individual enantiomers. In some embodiments, resolution of individual enantiomers is carried out using covalent diastereomeric derivatives of the compounds described herein. In another embodiment, diastereomers are separated by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. In other embodiments, separation of stereoisomers is performed by chromatography or by the forming diastereomeric salts and separation by recrystallization, or chromatography, or any combination thereof. Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions, John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981. In some embodiments, stereoisomers are obtained by stereoselective synthesis.

    [0405] In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as prodrugs. A prodrug refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they are easier to administer than the parent drug. They are, for instance, bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. Further or alternatively, the prodrug also has improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility. See for example Design of Prodrugs, Bundgaard, A. Ed., Elsevier, 1985 and Method in Enzymology, Widder, K. et al., Ed.; Academic, 1985, vol. 42, p. 309-396; Bundgaard, H. Design and Application of Prodrugs in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krosgaard-Larsen and H. Bundgaard, Ed., 1991, Chapter 5, p. 113-191; and Bundgaard, H., Advanced Drug Delivery Review, 1992, 8, 1-38, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

    [0406] A metabolite of a compound disclosed herein is a derivative of that compound that is formed when the compound is metabolized. The term metabolized, as used herein, refers to the sum of the processes (including, but not limited to, hydrolysis reactions and reactions catalyzed by enzymes) by which a particular substance is changed by an organism. Thus, enzymes may produce specific structural alterations to a compound. For example, cytochrome P450 catalyzes a variety of oxidative and reductive reactions while uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferases catalyze the transfer of an activated glucuronic-acid molecule to aromatic alcohols, aliphatic alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines and free sulfhydryl groups. Metabolites of the compounds disclosed herein are optionally identified either by administration of compounds to a host and analysis of tissue samples from the host, or by incubation of compounds with hepatic cells in vitro and analysis of the resulting compounds.

    Biology Examples

    NPY1R Binding Assay

    Membrane Preparation

    [0952] Crude membrane fractions are prepared from SK-N-MC cells endogenously expressing the NPY1R receptor. The cells are grown to 85-100% confluence on standard tissue culture dishes in Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium supplemented with 10% dialyzed FBS. To prepare membranes, cells are scraped and collected in 1? Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline and then pelleted at 1000 RPM's. The cell pellet is reconstituted in membrane preparation buffer (20 mM HEPES, 6 mM MgCl.sub.2 and 1 mM EGTA, protease inhibitor tablets, pH 7.4) and placed in a cell disruption vessel at 1000 PSI for 30 minutes on ice. The pressurized contents are then released and spun down at 1000 RPMs and the supernatant is collected and further centrifuged at 15,000 RPMs to pellet the membranes. The membrane pellet is resuspended in membrane preparation buffer, snap frozen and stored at ?80? C. for later use.

    NPY1R Binding Assay Protocol:

    [0953] The SK-N-MC membrane binding assay utilizes the following components: radiolabel [.sup.125I]-Peptide YY (human), crude SK-N-MC membranes, and competing small molecule and peptide ligands. The assay is initiated by combining in assay buffer (25 mM HEPES, 1 mM MgCl.sub.2, 2.5 mM CaCl.sub.2), 0.1% BSA, 0.01% bacitracin, pH7.4) a dose response of competing ligand (the final concentrations are typically 0-10,000 nM), SK-N-MC membranes, and [.sup.125I] Peptide YY (human) at a final concentration of 0.05 nM in a 96-well assay plate and allowed to incubate 60 minutes at 37? C. Assay contents are then filtered through unifilter GF/C microplates and washed with 9?400 ?l of cold wash buffer (25 mM HEPES, 5 mM MgCl.sub.2, 1 mM CaCl.sub.2), 500 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween-20, pH 7.4). Assay plates are read using a Top Count NXT and K.sub.i values for compounds are determined using a GraphPad Prism 6 non-linear regression analysis.

    Example B-4: Biodistribution, Safety and Dosimetry Study in Patients with Breast Cancer

    [0964] A non-limiting example of a phase 1 safety and dosimetry study of .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) in patients with breast cancer is described below.

    [0965] This is an open-label, first-in-human, Phase 1 study of .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) designed to characterize its biodistribution, safety, radiation dosimetry and PET imaging properties in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. In some embodiments, a .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) is used to localize NPY1R-expressing lesions and identify breast cancer patients with NPY1R-expressing tumors who may benefit from treatment with NPY1R-targeting therapeutic agents, such as .sup.177Lu-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II). In healthy humans, NPY1R is found primarily in the central and peripheral nervous systems and across a variety of different cell types, albeit at lower levels, such as smooth muscle cells, adipocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells. NPY1R is highly expressed in breast cancer, particularly in luminal A and B subtypes.

    [0966] This study will enroll approximately 18-24 evaluable subjects in total. Breast cancer patients with locally recurrent or metastatic, estrogen or progesterone receptor positive disease with at least one CT-measurable target lesion by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 target lesion criteria are eligible to participate if they meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.

    [0967] Study Populations: Patients with locally recurrent or metastatic, estrogen or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer.

    [0968] Primary Objectives: To evaluate the biodistribution of .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II).

    [0969] Secondary Objectives: To describe the safety of .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), to determine tumor uptake of .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) by timepoint and location in subjects with breast cancer. To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of a .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II). To describe organ and whole-body dosimetry of .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans. To compare a .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) imaging to anatomic imaging in detecting tumor lesions.

    [0970] Exploratory Objective: To evaluate the expression of tumor markers in tumor tissue.

    [0971] Primary Endpoints: Number and location of tumors identified by a .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) PET/CT. Maximum standard uptake value (SUV.sub.max) of each tumor and SUV.sub.mean of organs. Ratio of the tumor SUV over reference region SUV.

    [0972] Secondary Endpoints: Incidence of adverse events (AE) characterized overall and by type, frequency, seriousness, relationship to the study drug, timing, and severity, graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5.0. Absolute values and changes in clinical laboratory parameters. Absorbed dose coefficients (milliGray [mGy]/megabecquerel [MBq]) in target organs and the effective dose coefficient (milliSievert [mSv]/MBq). Whole-body absorbed dose coefficient (Gy/MBq). Number and location of tumors identified by a .sup.68Ga-complex of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) PET/CT and by anatomic imaging (contrast-enhanced diagnostic CT). PK parameters and radioactive blood counts from serial blood samples.

    [0973] Exploratory Endpoint: Expression of tumor markers (e.g., neuropeptide Y.sub.1 receptor [NPY1R], other) in the histology samples from biopsy and surgical tumor specimens from subjects with breast cancer, as measured by immunohistochemistry or other methods.

    [0974] Study Design: This study will enroll up to approximately 24 evaluable patients. Patients who receive study drug and complete all scheduled imaging procedures are considered evaluable.

    [0975] There are three patient cohorts in the study: Cohort 1: patients with estrogen or progesterone receptor (ER/PR) positive locoregionally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who have not yet received treatment for recurrent or metastatic disease; Cohort 2: patients with estrogen or progesterone receptor (ER/PR) positive locoregionally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who are currently receiving treatment that includes hormonal therapy; Cohort 3: patients with estrogen or progesterone receptor (ER/PR) positive locoregionally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who are refractory to existing therapies. Patients are enrolled into the three cohorts in parallel. Each cohort will enroll at least six evaluable patients. If at least one patient is deemed positive among the six evaluable patients per PET/CT evaluation, the cohort is expanded with two more patients. All patients will be evaluated for eligibility prior to enrollment (56-day screening period).
