Title: Novel radiolabelled cxcr4-targeting compounds for diagnosis and therapy

Description:
FIELD OF INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to radiolabelled compounds for selective imaging or treatment, particularly compounds that target CXCR4. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in chemotaxis and leukocyte trafficking. CXCR4 was identified as a co-receptor for HIV entry into T cells, establishing itself as a prominent target for pharmaceutical development (Feng et al.,  Science.  1996, 272:872-7; Bleul et al.,  Proc Natl Acad Sci.  1997, 94:1925-1930). The expression of CXCR4 is also associated with autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease and cancer (Doring et al.,  Front Physiol.  2014, 5:212; Chatterjee et al.,  Adv Cancer Res.  2014, 124:31-82), including the observed overexpression of CXCR4 in 23 human cancers including hematological and solid cancers (Chatterjee et al., ibid). The α-chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1a) signals through CXCR4 to promote cancer cell proliferation and to potentiate metastatic behavior (Duda et al.,  Clin Cancer Res.  2011, 17:2074-2080). Plerixafor, also known as AMD3100, developed originally for HIV treatment, received FDA approval (De Clercq,  Biochem Pharmacol.  2009, 77:1655-1664) to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells into peripheral blood for collection and autologous transplantation. 
     Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, cyclam inhibitors, and peptides have been used as pharmacophores for CXCR4-targeted imaging in nuclear medicine (Weiss et al.,  Theranostics.  2013, 3:76-84; Walenkamp et al.,  J Nucl Med.  2017, 58:77S-82S). To date, [ 68 Ga]Ga-Pentixafor, a cyclic pentapeptide adapted by the Wester group (Demmer et al.,  Chem Med Chem.  2011, 6:1789-1791; Gourni et al.,  J Nucl Med.  2011, 52:1803-1810), is the most investigated CXCR4 radiopharmaceutical in the clinic. [ 68 Ga]Ga-Pentixafor has been used to image patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, adrenocortical carcinoma, small cell lung carcinoma, or breast carcinoma (Walenkamp et al., supra; Vag et al.,  EJNMMI Res.  2018, 8:90). Pentixather, a derivative of Pentixafor with an iodinated tyrosine, is the companion therapeutic agent (radiolabeled with  177 Lu-lutetium or  90 Y-yttrium) for endoradiotherapy (Schottelius et al.,  Theranostics.  2017, 7:2350-2362; Herrmann et al.,  J Nucl Med.  2016, 57:248-251). Preliminary data with [ 177 Lu]Lu/[ 90 Y]Y-Pentixather on a compassionate-use basis was reported for three patients with refractory multiple myeloma (Herrmann et al., ibid). Based on [ 18 F]FDG imaging, one patient had partial response and one had complete response. The third patient failed to undergo [ 18 F]FDG restaging due to sepsis following autologous stem cell transplantation. Pending more studies, [ 177 Lu]Lu/[ 90 Y]Y-Pentixather appears to be a promising radiotherapeutic agent. 
     LY2510924 (cyclo[Phe-Tyr-Lys(iPr)-D-Arg-2-NaI-Gly-D-Glu]-Lys(iPr)-NH 2 ) is a novel cyclic peptide that can block SDF-1a binding to CXCR4 with an IC 50  value of 79 pM (Peng et al.,  Mol Cancer Ther.  2015, 14:480-490). The authors demonstrated that LY2510924 was able to inhibit growth of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, renal cell carcinoma, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer xenograft models. LY2510924 failed to improve treatment efficacy of carboplatin/etoposide chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer patients (Salgia et al.,  Lung Cancer.  2017, 105:7-13); however, it is currently being evaluated in a phase II study in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine for patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02652871). In this regimen, LY2510924 is expected to mobilize cancer cells from bone marrow to enter the bloodstream, where they can be acted upon by the combination of chemotherapeutics. 
     There is therefore an unmet need in the field for improved imaging agents (e.g. PET imaging agents) and radiotherapeutic compositions for in-vivo diagnosis and treatment of cancers and other diseases/disorders characterized by expression of CXCR4 
     No admission is necessarily intended, nor should it be construed, that any of the preceding information constitutes prior art against the present invention.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     As used herein, the terms “comprising,” “having”, “including” and “containing,” and grammatical variations thereof, are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited elements and/or method steps. The term “consisting essentially of” if used herein in connection with a composition, use or method, denotes that additional elements and/or method steps may be present, but that these additions do not materially affect the manner in which the recited composition, method or use functions. The term “consisting of” if used herein in connection with a composition, use or method, excludes the presence of additional elements and/or method steps. A composition, use or method described herein as comprising certain elements and/or steps may also, in certain embodiments consist essentially of those elements and/or steps, and in other embodiments consist of those elements and/or steps, whether or not these embodiments are specifically referred to. A use or method described herein as comprising certain elements and/or steps may also, in certain embodiments consist essentially of those elements and/or steps, and in other embodiments consist of those elements and/or steps, whether or not these embodiments are specifically referred to. 
     A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the elements is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be one and only one of the elements. The singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. The use of the word “a” or “an” when used herein in conjunction with the term “comprising” may mean “one,” but it is also consistent with the meaning of “one or more,” “at least one” and “one or more than one.” 
     Unless otherwise specified, “certain embodiments”, “various embodiments”, “an embodiment” and similar terms includes the particular feature(s) described for that embodiment either alone or in combination with any other embodiment or embodiments described herein, whether or not the other embodiments are directly or indirectly referenced and regardless of whether the feature or embodiment is described in the context of a method, product, use, composition, compound, et cetera. 
     As used herein, the terms “treat”, “treatment”, “therapeutic” and the like includes ameliorating symptoms, reducing disease progression, improving prognosis and reducing recurrence (e.g. reducing cancer recurrence). 
     As used herein, the term “diagnostic agent” includes an “imaging agent”. As such, a “diagnostic radiometal” includes radiometals that are suitable for use in imaging agents and “diagnostic radioisotope” includes radioisotopes that are suitable for use in imaging agents. 
     The term “subject” refers to an animal (e.g. a mammal or a non-mammal animal). The subject may be a human or a non-human primate. The subject may be a laboratory mammal (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster and the like). The subject may be an agricultural animal (e.g., equine, ovine, bovine, porcine, camelid and the like) or a domestic animal (e.g., canine, feline and the like). In some embodiments, the subject is a human. 
     The compounds disclosed herein may also include base-free forms, salts or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Unless otherwise specified, the compounds claimed and described herein are meant to include all racemic mixtures and all individual enantiomers or combinations thereof, whether or not they are explicitly represented herein. 
     The compounds disclosed herein may be shown as having one or more charged groups, may be shown with ionizable groups in an uncharged (e.g. protonated) state or may be shown without specifying formal charges. As will be appreciated by the person of skill in the art, the ionization state of certain groups within a compound (e.g. without limitation, carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, sulfinic acid, phosphoric acid and the like) is dependent, inter alia, on the pKa of that group and the pH at that location. For example, but without limitation, a carboxylic acid group (i.e. COOH) would be understood to usually be deprotonated (and negatively charged) at neutral pH and at most physiological pH values, unless the protonated state is stabilized. Likewise, sulfonic acid groups, sulfinic acid groups, and phosphoric acid groups would generally be deprotonated (and negatively charged) at neutral and physiological pH values. 
     As used herein, the terms “salt” and “solvate” have their usual meaning in chemistry. As such, when the compound is a salt or solvate, it is associated with a suitable counter-ion. It is well known in the art how to prepare salts or to exchange counter-ions. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting free acid forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of a suitable base (e.g. without limitation, Na, Ca, Mg, or K hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate, or the like), or by reacting free base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of a suitable acid. Such reactions are generally carried out in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two. Counter-ions may be changed, for example, by ion-exchange techniques such as ion-exchange chromatography. All zwitterions, salts, solvates and counter-ions are intended, unless a particular form is specifically indicated. 
     In certain embodiments, the salt or counter-ion may be pharmaceutically acceptable, for administration to a subject. More generally, with respect to any pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein, non-limiting examples of suitable excipients include any suitable buffers, stabilizing agents, salts, antioxidants, complexing agents, tonicity agents, cryoprotectants, lyoprotectants, suspending agents, emulsifying agents, antimicrobial agents, preservatives, chelating agents, binding agents, surfactants, wetting agents, non-aqueous vehicles such as fixed oils, or polymers for sustained or controlled release. See, for example, Berge et al. 1977. ( J. Pharm Sci.  66:1-19), or Remington—The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st edition (Gennaro et al editors. Lippincott Williams &amp; Wilkins Philadelphia), each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. 
     As used herein, the expression “Cy-Cz”, where y and z are integers (e.g. C 1 -C 15 , C 1 -C 5 , and the like), refers to the number of carbons in a compound, R-group or substituent, or refers to the number of carbons plus heteroatoms when a certain number of carbons are specified as being replaced by heteroatoms. Heteroatoms may include any, some or all possible heteroatoms. For example, in some embodiments, the heteroatoms are selected from N, O, S, P and Se. In some embodiments, the heteroatoms are selected from N, S and O. Unless otherwise specified, such embodiments are non-limiting. 
     Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the term “alkyl” includes any reasonable combination of the following: (1) linear or branched; (2) acyclic or cyclic, the latter of which may include multi-cyclic (fused rings, multiple non-fused rings or a combination thereof; and (3) unsubstituted or substituted. In the context of the expression “alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl” and similar expressions, the “alkyl” would be understood to be a saturated alkyl. As used herein, the term “linear” may be used as it is normally understood to a person of skill in the art and generally refers to a chemical entity that comprises a skeleton or main chain that does not split off into more than one contiguous chain. Non-limiting examples of linear alkyls include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and n-butyl. As used herein, the term “branched” may be used as it is normally understood to a person of skill in the art and generally refers to a chemical entity that comprises a skeleton or main chain that splits off into more than one contiguous chain. The portions of the skeleton or main chain that split off in more than one direction may be linear, cyclic or any combination thereof. Non-limiting examples of a branched alkyl group include tert-butyl and isopropyl. 
     The term “alkylenyl” refers to a divalent analog of an alkyl group. In the context of the expression “alkylenyl, alkenylenyl or alkynylenyl”, and similar expressions, the “alkylenyl” would be understood to be a saturated alkylenyl. 
     As used herein, the term “saturated” when referring to a chemical entity may be used as it is normally understood to a person of skill in the art and generally refers to a chemical entity that comprises only single bonds, and may include linear, branched, and/or cyclic groups. Non-limiting examples of a saturated C 1 -C 20  alkyl group may include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, sec-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, i-pentyl, sec-pentyl, t-pentyl, n-hexyl, i-hexyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 2-ethylpropyl, 1-methyl-2-ethylpropyl, I-ethyl-2-methylpropyl, 1,1,2-trimethylpropyl, 1,1,2-triethylpropyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 2-methylpentyl, 3-methylpentyl, sec-hexyl, t-hexyl, n-heptyl, i-heptyl, sec-heptyl, t-heptyl, n-octyl, i-octyl, sec-octyl, t-octyl, n-nonyl, i-nonyl, sec-nonyl, t-nonyl, n-decyl, i-decyl, sec-decyl, t-decyl, cyclopropanyl, cyclobutanyl, cyclopentanyl, cyclohexanyl, cycloheptanyl, cyclooctanyl, cyclononanyl, cyclodecanyl, and the like. Unless otherwise specified, a C 1 -C 20  alkylenyl therefore encompasses, without limitation, all divalent analogs of the above-listed saturated alkyl groups. 
     As used herein, the term “unsaturated” when referring to a chemical entity may be used as it is normally understood to a person of skill in the art and generally refers to a chemical entity that comprises at least one double or triple bond, and may include linear, branched, and/or cyclic groups. Non-limiting examples of a C 2 -C 20  alkenyl group may include vinyl, allyl, isopropenyl, I-propene-2-yl, 1-butene-1-yl, 1-butene-2-yl, 1-butene-3-yl, 2-butene-1-yl, 2-butene-2-yl, octenyl, decenyl, cyclopropenyl, cyclobutenyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl, cycloheptenyl, cyclooctenyl, cyclononanenyl, cyclodecanenyl, and the like. Unless otherwise specified, a C 1 -C 20  alkenylenyl therefore encompasses, without limitation, all divalent analogs of the above-listed alkenyl groups. Non-limiting examples of a C 2 -C 20  alkynyl group may include ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, hexynyl, heptynyl, octynyl, nonynyl, decynyl, and the like. Unless otherwise specified, a C 1 -C 20  alkynylenyl therefore encompasses, without limitation, all divalent analogs of the above-listed alkynyl groups. 
     Where it is specified that 1 or more carbons in an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkylenyl, alkenylenyl, alkynylenyl, etc., are independently replaced by a heteroatom, the person of skill in the art would understand that various combinations of different heteroatoms may be used. Non-limiting examples of non-aromatic heterocyclic groups include aziridinyl, azetidinyl, diazetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrrolinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, imidazolinyl, pyrazolidinyl, imidazolydinyl, phthalimidyl, succinimidyl, oxiranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, oxetanyl, dioxanyl, thietanyl, thiepinyl, morpholinyl, oxathiolanyl, and the like. The expression “a linear, branched, and/or cyclic . . . alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl” includes, inter alia, aryl groups. Unless further specified, an “aryl” group includes both single aromatic rings as well as fused rings containing at least one aromatic ring. non-limiting examples of C 3 -C 20  aryl groups include phenyl (Ph), pentalenyl, indenyl, naphthyl and azulenyl. Non-limiting examples of X 3 -X 20  aromatic heterocyclic groups include pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, pyridinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pirazinyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, acridinyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, indolizinyl, purinyl, carbazolyl, indazolyl, phthalazinyl, naphthyridinyl, quinoxalinyl, quinazolinyl, cinnolinyl, pteridinyl, phenanthridinyl, phenazinyl, phenanthrolinyl, perimidinyl, furyl, dibenzofuryl, xanthenyl, benzofuryl, thiophenyl, thianthrenyl, benzothiophenyl, phosphorinyl, phosphinolinyl, phosphindolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, and the like. Likewise, the expression “a linear, branched, and/or cyclic . . . alkylenyl, alkenylenyl or alkynylenyl” includes, interalia, divalent analogs of the above-defined linear, branched, and/or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl groups, including all aryl groups encompassed therein. 
     As used herein, the term “substituted” is used as it would normally be understood to a person of skill in the art and generally refers to a compound or chemical entity that has one chemical group replaced with a different chemical group. Unless otherwise specified, a substituted alkyl is an alkyl in which one or more hydrogen atom(s) are independently each replaced with an atom that is not hydrogen. For example, chloromethyl is a non-limiting example of a substituted alkyl, more particularly an example of a substituted methyl. Aminoethyl is another non-limiting example of a substituted alkyl, more particularly an example of a substituted ethyl. Unless otherwise specified, a substituted compound or group (e.g. alkyl, alkylenyl, aryl, and the like) may be substituted with any chemical group reasonable to the person of skill in the art. For example, but without limitation, a hydrogen bonded to a carbon or heteroatom (e.g. N) may be substituted with halide (e.g. F, I, Br, Cl), amine, amide, oxo, hydroxyl, thiol (sulfhydryl), phosphate (or phosphoric acid), phosphonate, sulfate, SO 2 H (sulfinic acid), SO 3 H (sulfonic acid), alkyls, aryl, ketones, carboxaldehyde, carboxylic acid, carboxamides, nitriles, guanidino, monohalomethyl, dihalomethyl or trihalomethyl. 
     As used herein, the term “unsubstituted” is used as it would normally be understood to a person of skill in the art. Non-limiting examples of unsubstituted alkyls include methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, pentyl and the like. The expression “optionally substituted” is used interchangeably with the expression “unsubstituted or substituted”. 
     In the structures provided herein, hydrogen may or may not be shown. In some embodiments, hydrogens (whether shown or implicit) may be protium (i.e.  1 H), deuterium (i.e.  2 H) or combinations of  1 H and  2 H. Methods for exchanging  1 H with  2 H are well known in the art. For solvent-exchangeable hydrogens, the exchange of  1 H with  2 H occurs readily in the presence of a suitable deuterium source, without any catalyst. The use of acid, base or metal catalysts, coupled with conditions of increased temperature and pressure, can facilitate the exchange of non-exchangeable hydrogen atoms, generally resulting in the exchange of all  1 H to  2 H in a molecule. 
     The compounds disclosed herein incorporate amino acids, e.g. as residues in a peptide chain (linear or branched) or as amino acids that are otherwise part of a compound. Amino acids have both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group, either or both of which can be used for covalent attachment. In attaching to the remainder of the compound, the amino group and/or the carboxylic acid group may be converted to an amide or other structure; e.g. a carboxylic acid group of a first amino acid is converted to an amide (e.g. a peptide bond) when bonded to the amino group of a second amino acid. As such, amino acid residues may have the formula —N(R a )R b C(O)—, where R a  and R b  are R-groups. R a  will typically be hydrogen or methyl. The amino acid residues of a peptide may comprise typical peptide (amide) bonds and may further comprise bonds between side chain functional groups and the side chain or main chain functional group of another amino acid.

     The wavy line “ ” symbol shown through or at the end of a bond in a chemical formula (e.g. in the definitions L 1 , L 2 , etc.) is intended to define the R group on one side of the wavy line, without modifying the definition of the structure on the opposite side of the wavy line. Where an R group is bonded on two or more sides (e.g. certain definitions of X 1 , X 2 , etc.), any atoms shown outside the wavy lines are intended to clarify orientation of the R group. As such, only the atoms between the two wavy lines constitute the definition of the R group. When atoms are not shown outside the wavy lines, or for a chemical group shown without wavy lines but does have bonds on multiple sides (e.g. —C(O)NH—, and the like.), the chemical group should be read from left to right matching the orientation in the formula that the group relates to (e.g. for formula —R a -R b -R c —, the definition of R b  as —C(O)NH— would be incorporated into the formula as —R a —C(O)NH—R c — not as —R a —NHC(O)—R c —).

     The overexpression of CXCR4 has been observed in over 23 types of malignancies, including brain, breast, and prostate cancers. Moreover, leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma have significant CXCR4 expression. Retrospective studies have shown that CXCR4 expression is correlated with lowered survival for prostate and melanoma patients. Furthermore, CXCR4 expression is a prognostic factor of disease relapse for acute and chronic myeloid leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia and multiple myeloma. The SDF-1/CXCR4 axis mediates cancer growth, potentiates metastasis, recruits stromal and immune cells to support malignant growth, and confers chemotherapeutic resistance. Radiolabeled CXCR4 probes could be used in the early diagnosis of solid and hematological malignancies that express CXCR4. Such imaging agents could be used to confirm the diagnostic of malignancy, or guide focal ablative treatment if the disease is localized. Such ligands could also be used to monitor response to therapy, by providing an independent assessment of the residual cellular content of a tumour known to overexpress CXCR4. [ 68 Ga]Ga-Pentixafor has been used by the Wester group for cancer imaging and to identify potential responders to endoradiotherapy. 
     Dysregulation of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis also mediates a number of inflammatory conditions. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling is responsible for the pro-inflammatory migration of activated T-cells into the site of inflammation; specifically, the synovium of patients with RA showed that the presence of T-cells with increased expression of CXCR4. Given the burden of RA on the population with respect to morbidity and mortality, there is a significant amount of research into developing therapeutics to mediate the inflammatory response, especially with novel biologics being approved by the FDA in the past few years. Radiolabeled CXCR4 probes for positron emission tomography imaging would enable diagnosis and prognosis of the rheumatoid arthritis and also be used to monitor therapy of emerging disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in clinical trials. CXCR4 expression has been detected with PET imaging using [r 8 Ga]Ga-Pentixafor in diseases with an inflammatory component, including infectious bone diseases, urinary tract infections as a complication after kidney transplantation, myocardial infarctions, and ischemic strokes. CXCR4 imaging may have a significant role in diagnosing and monitoring other inflammatory diseases in the future. 
     In the setting of cardiac pathology, inflammatory diseases of the cardiac vessel walls are mediated in part by the dysregulation of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis. In the early stages of atherosclerosis, the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis recruits endothelial progenitor cells towards sites of peripheral vascular damage, thereby initiating plaque formation, though there is some evidence towards an atheroprotective effect. Atherosclerotic plaques are characterized by the presence of hypoxia, which has been shown to upregulate the expression of CXCR4 and influence cell trafficking. Finally, in a rabbit model of atherosclerosis, [ 68 Ga]Ga-Pentixafor enabled visualization of atherosclerotic plaques by PET. In the same study, atherosclerotic plaques were identified in patients with a history of atherosclerosis using [ 68 Ga]Ga-Pentixafor. As such, PET diagnostic agents targeting CXCR4 are potentially viable as an alternative method of diagnosing and obtaining prognostic information about atherosclerosis. 
     In certain embodiments, the compound is conjugated with a radioisotope for positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of a CXCR4-expressing tissue or for imaging an inflammatory condition or disease (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis or cardiovascular disease), wherein the compound is conjugated with a radioisotope that is a positron emitter or a gamma emitter. Without limitation, the positron or gamma emitting radioisotope may be  68 Ga,  67 Ga,  61 Cu,  64 Cu,  99m Tc,  110m In,  111 In,  44 Sc,  86 Y  89 Zr,  90 Nb,  18 F,  131 I,  123 I,  124 I or  72 As. 
     When the radioisotope (e.g. X) is a diagnostic radioisotope, there is disclosed use of certain embodiments of the compound for preparation of a radiolabelled tracer for imaging. There is also disclosed a method of imaging CXCR4-expressing tissues or an inflammatory condition or disease in a subject, in which the method comprises: administering to the subject a composition comprising certain embodiments of the compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient; and imaging the subject, e.g. using positron emission tomography (PET). When the tissue is a diseased tissue (e.g. a CXCR4-expressing cancer), CXCR4-targeted treatment may then be selected for treating the subject. There is therefore disclosed the use of certain compounds of the invention in imaging a CXCR4-expressing cancer in a subject, wherein R X  comprises or is complexed with a diagnostic or imaging radioisotope. In some embodiments, the subject is human. 
     Given the broad expression of CXCR4 in cancers, there has been a significant push to develop CXCR4-targeting therapeutics. While CXCR4 inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in tumor models in mice, in both treating tumors and preventing metastasis, very few pharmaceutical agents have demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials. Plerixafor, also known as AMD3100, developed originally for HIV treatment, is the lone CXCR4 antagonist to receive FDA approval to date. AMD3100 is given to lymphoma and multiple myeloma patients to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells into peripheral blood for collection and autologous transplantation, and not as a method of direct treatment. There is an unmet clinical need for treating CXCR4-expressing cancers, many of which are resistant to the standard of care available today. 
     Cancers that are CXCR4 positive could be susceptible to endoradiotherapy. In this application, a peptide targeting CXCR4 is radiolabeled with a radioisotope, usually a β- or α-particle emitter, to deliver a high local dose of radiation to lesions. These radioactive emissions usually inflict DNA damage, thereby inducing cellular death. This method of therapy has been exploited in oncology, with the somatostatin receptor (for neuroendocrine tumors) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer) being two examples. Unlike external beam radiation therapy, this systemic treatment can be effective even in the metastatic setting. Therapeutic radioisotopes include but are not restricted to  177 Lu,  90 Y,  225 Ac and  64 Cu. 
     With respect to cardiac pathologies, a small retrospective study with endoradiotherapy by [ 90 Y]Y- or [ 177 Lu]Lu-Pentixather demonstrated regression of CXCR4 expression and activity in patients with previously identified atherosclerotic plaques. Therefore, radionuclide therapy may present a novel route of therapy for inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. 
     In certain embodiments the compound is conjugated with a radioisotope that is used for therapy (e.g. cancer therapy). This includes radioisotopes such as  165 Er,  212 Bi,  211 At,  166 Ho,  149 Pm,  159 Gd,  105 Rh,  109 Pd  198 Au,  199 Au,  175 Yb,  142 Pr,  177 Lu (β-emitter, t 2/1 =6.65 d),  111 In,  213 Bi,  203 Pb,  212 Pb,  47 Sc,  90 Y (1-emitter, t 2/1 =2.66 d),  117m Sn,  153 Sm,  149 Tb,  161 Tb,  224 Ra,  225 Ac (a-emitter, t 2/1 =9.95 d),  227 Th,  223 Ra,  77 As,  131 I,  64 Cu or  67 Cu. 
     When the radioisotope (e.g. X) is a therapeutic radioisotope, there is disclosed use of certain embodiments of the compound (or a pharmaceutical composition thereof) for the treatment of a disease or condition characterized by expression of CXCR4 in a subject. Accordingly, there is provided use of the compound in preparation of a medicament for treating a disease or condition characterized by expression of CXCR4 in a subject. There is also provided a method of treating a disease or condition characterized by expression of CXCR4 in a subject, in which the method comprises: administering to the subject a composition comprising the compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. For example, but without limitation, the disease may be a CXCR4-expressing cancer (e.g. non-Hodgkin lymphoma, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, leukemia, adrenocortical cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, renal cell cancer, colorectal cancer). There is therefore disclosed the use of certain compounds of the invention for treating a CXCR4-expressing cancer in a subject, wherein R X comprises or is complexed with a therapeutic radioisotope. In some embodiments, the subject is human. 
     The compounds presented herein incorporate peptides, which may be synthesized by any of a variety of methods established in the art. This includes but is not limited to liquid-phase as well as solid-phase peptide synthesis using methods employing 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) and/or t-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) chemistries, and/or other synthetic approaches. 
     Solid-phase peptide synthesis methods and technology are well-established in the art. For example, peptides may be synthesized by sequential incorporation of the amino acid residues of interest one at a time. In such methods, peptide synthesis is typically initiated by attaching the C-terminal amino acid of the peptide of interest to a suitable resin. Prior to this, reactive side chain and alpha amino groups of the amino acids are protected from reaction by suitable protecting groups, allowing only the alpha carboxyl group to react with a functional group such as an amine group, a hydroxyl group, or an alkyl halide group on the solid support. Following coupling of the C-terminal amino acid to the support, the protecting group on the side chain and/or the alpha amino group of the amino acid is selectively removed, allowing the coupling of the next amino acid of interest. This process is repeated until the desired peptide is fully synthesized, at which point the peptide can be deprotected and cleaved from the support, and purified. A non-limiting example of an instrument for solid-phase peptide synthesis is the Aapptec Endeavor 90 peptide synthesizer. 
     To allow coupling of additional amino acids, Fmoc protecting groups may be removed from the amino acid on the solid support, e.g. under mild basic conditions, such as piperidine (20-50% v/v) in DMF. The amino acid to be added must also have been activated for coupling (e.g. at the alpha carboxylate). Non-limiting examples of activating reagents include without limitation 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU), 2-(7-Aza-1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), benzotriazole-1-yl-oxy-tris(dimethylamino)phosphoniumhexafluorophosphate (BOP), benzotriazole-1-yl-oxy-tris(pyrrolidino)phosphoniumhexafluorophosphate (PyBOP). Racemization is minimized by using triazoles, such as 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole (HOBt) and 1-hydroxy-7-aza-benzotriazole (HOAt). Coupling may be performed in the presence of a suitable base, such as N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA/DIEA) and the like. For long peptides or if desired, peptide synthesis and ligation may be used. 
     Apart from forming typical peptide bonds to elongate a peptide, peptides may be elongated in a branched fashion by attaching to side chain functional groups (e.g. carboxylic acid groups or amino groups), either: side chain to side chain; or side chain to backbone amino or carboxylate. Coupling to amino acid side chains may be performed by any known method, and may be performed on-resin or off-resin. Non-limiting examples include: forming an amide between an amino acid side chain containing a carboxyl group (e.g. Asp, D-Asp, Glu, D-Glu, Aad, and the like) and an amino acid side chain containing an amino group (e.g. Lys, D-Lys, Orn, D-Orn, Dab, D-Dab, Dap, D-Dap, and the like) or the peptide N-terminus; forming an amide between an amino acid side chain containing an amino group (e.g. Lys, D-Lys, Orn, D-Orn, Dab, D-Dab, Dap, D-Dap, and the like) and either an amino acid side chain containing a carboxyl group (e.g. Asp, D-Asp, Glu, D-Glu, and the like) or the peptide C-terminus; and forming a 1, 2, 3-triazole via click chemistry between an amino acid side chain containing an azide group (e.g. Lys(N 3 ), D-Lys(N 3 ), and the like) and an alkyne group (e.g. Pra, D-Pra, and the like). The protecting groups on the appropriate functional groups must be selectively removed before amide bond formation, whereas the reaction between an alkyne and an azido groups via the click reaction to form an 1,2,3-triazole does not require selective deprotection. Non-limiting examples of selectively removable protecting groups include 2-phenylisopropyl esters (O-2-PhiPr) (e.g. on Asp/Glu) as well as 4-methyltrityl (Mtt), allyloxycarbonyl (alloc), 1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohex-1-ylidene))ethyl (Dde), and 1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohex-1-ylidene)-3-methylbutyl (ivDde) (e.g. on Lys/Orn/Dab/Dap). O-2-PhiPr and Mtt protecting groups can be selectively deprotected under mild acidic conditions, such as 2.5% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in DCM. Alloc protecting groups can be selectively deprotected using tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) and phenylsilane in DCM. Dde and ivDde protecting groups can be selectively deprotected using 2-5% of hydrazine in DMF. Deprotected side chains of Asp/Glu (L- or D-forms) and Lys/Orn/Dab/Dap (L- or D-forms) can then be coupled, e.g. by using the coupling reaction conditions described above. 
     Peptide backbone amides may be N-methylated (i.e. alpha amino methylated). This may be achieved by directly using Fmoc-N-methylated amino acids during peptide synthesis. Alternatively, N-methylation under Mitsunobu conditions may be performed. First, a free primary amine group is protected using a solution of 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (Ns-CI) and 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (collidine) in NMP. N-methylation may then be achieved in the presence of triphenylphosphine, diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) and methanol. Subsequently, N-deprotection may be performed using mercaptoethanol and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in NMP. For coupling protected amino acids to N-methylated alpha amino groups, HATU, HOAt and DIEA may be used. 
     The formation of the thioether (—S—) linkages (e.g. for L 1  or L 2 ) can be achieved either on solid phase or in solution phase. For example, the formation of thioether (—S—) linkage can be achieved by coupling between a thiol-containing compound (such as the thiol group on cysteine side chain) and an alkyl halide (such as 3-(Fmoc-amino)propyl bromide and the like) in an appropriate solvent (such as N,N-dimethylformamide and the like) in the presence of base (such as N,N-diisopropylethylamine and the like). If the reactions are carried out in solution phase, the reactants used are preferably in equivalent molar ratio (1 to 1), and the desired products can be purified by flash column chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). If the reactions are carried out on solid phase, meaning one reactant has been attached to a solid phase, then the other reactant is normally used in excess amount (&gt;3 equivalents of the reactant attached to the solid phase). After the reactions, the excess unreacted reactant and reagents can be removed by sequentially washing the solid phase (resin) using a combination of solvents, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, methanol and dichloromethane, for example. 
     The formation of the linkage (e.g. for L 1  or L 2 ) between a thiol group and a maleimide group can be performed using the conditions described above for the formation of the thioether (—S—) linkage simply by replacing the alkyl halide with a maleimide-containing compounds. Similarly, this reaction can be conducted in solid phase or solution phase. If the reactions are carried out in solution phase, the reactants used are preferably in equivalent molar ratio (1 to 1), and the desired products can be purified by flash column chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). If the reactions are carried out on solid phase, meaning one reactant has been attached to a solid phase, then the other reactant is normally used in excess amount (&gt;3 equivalents of the reactant attached to the solid phase). After the reactions, the excess unreacted reactant and reagents can be removed by sequentially washing the solid phase (resin) using a combination of solvents, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, methanol and dichloromethane, for example. 
     Non-peptide moieties (e.g. radiolabeling groups, albumin-binding groups and/or linkers) may be coupled to the peptide N-terminus while the peptide is attached to the solid support. This is facile when the non-peptide moiety comprises an activated carboxylate (and protected groups if necessary) so that coupling can be performed on resin. For example, but without limitation, a bifunctional chelator, such as 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) tris(tert-butyl ester) may be activated in the presence of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) for coupling to a peptide. Alternatively, a non-peptide moiety may be incorporated into the compound via a copper-catalyzed click reaction under either liquid or solid phase conditions. Copper-catalyzed click reactions are well established in the art. For example, 2-azidoacetic acid is first activated by NHS and DCC and coupled to a peptide. Then, an alkyne-containing non-peptide moiety may be clicked to the azide-containing peptide in the presence of Cu 2+  and sodium ascorbate in water and organic solvent, such as acetonitrile (ACN) and DMF and the like. Non-peptide moieties may also be added in solution phase, which is routinely performed. 
     The synthesis of chelators is well-known and many chelators are commercially available (e.g. from Sigma-Aldrich™/Milipore Sigma™ and others). Protocols for conjugation of radiometals to the chelators are also well known (e.g. see Example 1, below). The synthesis of the silicon-fluorine-acceptor moieties can be achieved following previously reported procedures (e.g. Bernard-Gauthier et al.  Biomed Res Int.  2014 2014:454503; Kostikov et al.  Nature Protocols  2012 7:1956-1963; Kostikov et al.  Bioconjug Chem.  2012 18:23:106-114; each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety). 
     The synthesis or acquisition of radioisotope-substituted aryl groups is likewise facile. The synthesis of the R 6 R 7 BF 3  component on the compounds can be achieved following previously reported procedures (e.g.: Liu et al.  Angew Chem Int Ed  2014 53:11876-11880; Liu et al.  J Nucl Med  2015 55:1499-1505; Liu et al.  Nat Protoc  2015 10:1423-1432; Kuo et al.,  J Nucl Med  2019 60:1160-1166; each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety). Generally, the BF 3 -containing motif can be coupled to the linker via click chemistry by forming a 1,2,3-triazole ring between a BF 3 -containing azido (or alkynyl) group and an alkynyl (or azido) group on the linker, or by forming an amide linkage between a BF 3 -containing carboxylate and an amino group on the linker. To make the BF 3 -containing azide, alkyne or carboxylate, a boronic acid ester-containing azide, alkyne or carboxylate is first prepared following by the conversion of the boronic acid ester to BF 3  in a mixture of HCl, DMF and KHF 2 . For alkyl BF 3 , the boronic acid ester-containing azide, alkyne or carboxylate can be prepared by coupling boronic acid ester-containing alkyl halide (such as iodomethylboronic acid pinacol ester) with an amine-containing azide, alkyne or carboxylate (such as N,N-dimethylpropargylamine). For aryl BF 3 , the boronic acid ester can be prepared via Suzuki coupling using aryl halide (iodine or bromide) and bis(pinacolato)diboron. 
       18 F-Fluorination of the BF 3 -containing compounds via  18 F- 19 F isotope exchange reaction can be achieved following previously published procedures (Liu et al.  Nat Protoc  2015 10:1423-1432, incorporated by reference in its entirety). Generally, ˜100 nmol of the BF 3 -containing compound is dissolved in a mixture of 15 μl of pyridazine-HCl buffer (pH=2.0-2.5, 1 M), 15 μl of DMF and 1 μl of a 7.5 mM KHF 2  aqueous solution.  18 F-Fluoride solution (in saline, 60 μl) is added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting solution is heated at 80° C. for 20 min. At the end of the reaction, the desired product can be purified by solid phase extraction or by reversed high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a mixture of water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. 
     When the peptide has been fully synthesized on the solid support, the desired peptide may be cleaved from the solid support using suitable reagents, such as TFA, tri-isopropylsilane (TIS) and water. Side chain protecting groups, such as Boc, pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl (Pbf), trityl (Trt) and tert-butyl (tBu) are simultaneously removed (i.e. deprotection). The crude peptide may be precipitated and collected from the solution by adding cold ether followed by centrifugation. Purification and characterization of the peptides may be performed by standard separation techniques, such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) based on the size, charge and polarity of the peptides. The identity of the purified peptides may be confirmed by mass spectrometry or other similar approaches. 
     The present invention will be further illustrated in the following examples for the synthesis and evaluation of specific compounds.

HBTU (54.5 mg, 144 μmol) was directly added to the bead solution followed by DIPEA (52 μL, 609 μmol). The mixture was mixed for 4 hours using a tube rotator. The solution was drained and rinsed with DCM, DMF, and DCM three times in 10 mL portions each and dried in vacuo for 16 hours. The dried beads were transferred into a falcon tube and were suspended in 500 μL DCM and added with 50 μL TIPS, 10 μL H 2 O, and a stir bar. KHF 2  (200 mg) was placed into a separate falcon tube. TFA (1 mL) was added to the falcon tube using a hypodermic needle and 1 mL syringe. The tube was then sealed and sonicated until all the solids were observed to completely dissolve.

The reaction was monitored by TLC (10% MeOH in DCM, R f  of intermediate=0.45, stained with bromocresol green). The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and HCl (6 mL, 4 M, 24.4 mmol, 1.25 equiv.) was added. The reaction solution was dried down by rotary evaporation to give a yellow solid intermediate 4-Dimethylamino-butyric acid to which, benzyl alcohol (10 mL, 100 mmol, 5 equiv.), and 4-toluenesuphonic acid monohydrate (3.5 g, 20.9 mmol, 1.05 equiv.) was added. The reaction was refluxed at 90° C. for 2 h and the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature. The toluene phase was extracted with H 2 O (4×100 mL) and NaOH (1 M) was added to the pooled aqueous phase until basic. The aqueous phase was then extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The EtOAc extract was then washed with brine, dried with MgSO 4 , filtered, and evaporated to give 3.31 g of crude orange oil which was then purified via silica chromatography by using basified silica and saturating the column in pet ether (PE) and the fractions monitored by TLC (10% MeOH in DCM, R f  of intermediate=0.3). The compound was loaded directly onto the silican and rinsed with PE, elutions were performed at 5 column volumes (CV) of PE, 1:1; PE:EtOAc, EtOAc, DCM, 10% MeOH in DCM to give JL1 in good yields (2.332 g, 52% over two steps).  1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ (ppm): 7.37 (m, 5H), 5.14 (s, 2H), 2.42 (t, 2H), 2.35 (t, 2H), 2.26 (s, 6H), 1.85 (quint, 2H).

Iodomethyl-boronylpinacolate (1.92 mL, 10.64 mmol, 0.95 equiv.) was added drop-wise to the stirring mixture and the solution as allowed to stir for 2 hours and was then placed into a 50° C. bath and stirred for 30 hours. The reaction was cooled and the solvents were removed by rotovap to yield thick orange oil. The oil was dissolved in ACN (100 mL) and diluted with 50 mL of water and was combined with an aqueous solution of AgNO 3  (100 mL, 0.18 M, 1.5 equiv.), then brine (0.12 mL, 0.71 mmol, 1.5 equiv.), producing yellow precipitates and white precipitates respectively. The mixture was filtered over celite and concentrated by rotovap. The resulting white solids were triturated with ACN (100 mL), sonicated for 30 mins, filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated to 15 mL and transferred to a plastic bottle. To fluorinate, KHF 2  (14 mL, 4 M, 112 mmol, 10 equiv.) and HCl (37 mL, 3 M, 112 mmol, 10 equiv.) were added to the solution. The reaction was allowed to fluorinate for 1 hour and was quenched by adding concentrated NH 4 OH until basic. The mixture was frozen and lyophilized to give white solids that were extracted with acetone (3×300 mL), and the pooled extract was dried down by rotary evaporation to give the crude product as white solids which was purified by silica chromatography.

     Competition Binding Assay 
     The binding affinities of nonlabelled peptides for CXCR4 were determined using a competition binding assay using the CHO:CXCR4 cells. Briefly, CHO:CXCR4 cells (200,000 cells/well) were plated in a 24-well BioCoat™ Poly-D-Lysine Multiwell Plates (Corning) the previous night. The next day, each well was incubated with RPMI-1640 medium (Life Technologies Corporations) supplemented with 20 mM HEPES and 2 mg/mL BSA, [ 125 I]SDF-1α (0.01 nM, Perkin Elmer) and competing non-radioactive ligands (10 μM to 1 μM) and incubated for 1-1.5 hours at 27° C. with moderate shaking. After incubation, the cells were washed with ice-cold PBS twice, trypsinized and counted on a Perkin Elmer WIZARD 2480 gamma counter. IC50 values were determined by a nonlinear regression analysis to fit a logistic equation to the competition data using GraphPad Prism 7. 
     Internalization 
     2×10 6  cells/well are seeded in complete growth medium in a 24 well Poly-D-Lysine plate (Corning BioCoat™, Ref No. 354414) 24-48 hours prior to the assay. Reactions are performed in triplicate, an unblocked and a blocked set for both CHOwt and CHO::CXCR4 cells. For the assay, the growth medium is replaced with 400 μl of reaction medium (RPMI, 2 mg/ml BSA, 20 mM HEPES). For blocked sets, cells are preincubated for 1 hour with 1 μM LY2510924 at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 . 0.8 MBq of 68Ga-BL02 per well is added to both unblocked and blocked wells and incubated at 27° C. with mild shaking for 1 hour. 3 samples of the radiolabelled peptide with no cells will be used as standard. The supernatant is removed, and cells are washed once with ice-cold PBS. The cells were then washed twice with washes with 200 μL of ice-cold 0.2 M Acetic Acid, 0.5 M NaCl, pH2.6. The washings were combined and measured, constituting the membrane bound portion of peptide. The cells are washed again with ice-cold PBS, trypsinized, collected and measured, constituting the internalized fraction of the peptide. Standards, membrane bound fraction and cells are counted on the Wizard gamma counter. Analysis is performed using GraphPad Prism. 
     Cell Culture 
     The Daudi B lymphoblast cell line (ATCC® CCL-213) and PC-3 prostate adenocarcinoma (ATCC® CRL-1435) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection and tested for potential rodent pathogens and  mycoplasma  contamination using the IMPACT test (IDEXX BioAnalytics). The CHO:CXCR4 cell line was a kind gift from Drs. David McDermott and Xiaoyuan Chen (National Institutes of Health). The GRANTA519, Jeko1 and Z138 cells were a kind gift from Dr. Christian Steidl. The Daudi, GRANTA519, Jeko1, Z138, PC-3 and CHO:CXCR4 cells were cultured in a 5% CO 2  atmosphere at 37° C. in a humidified incubator. 
     The Daudi and GRANTA519 cells were cultured with RPMI-1640 medium (Life Technologies Corporations) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 100 I.U./mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution). The Jeko1 cells were cultured with RPMI-1640 medium (Life Technologies Corporations) supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 100 I.U./mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution). The Z138 cells were cultured with Iscove&#39;s Modified Dulbecco&#39;s Medium (IMDM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 100 I.U./mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution). The CHO:CXCR4 cells and PC-3 cells were cultured with F12K medium (Life Technologies Corporations) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich), 100 I.U./mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution). 
     Animal Models 
     Animal experiments were performed in accordance with guidelines established by the Canadian Council on Animal Care, under a research protocol approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of the University of British Columbia. For Daudi, Z138, GRANTA519 and Jeko1 xenografts, male NOD.Cg-Rag1 tm1Mom II2rg tm1Wjl /SzJ (NRG) mice were subcutaneously inoculated on the left flank with 5×10 6  cells (100 μL; 1:1 ratio of PBS/Matrigel) and tumors were grown to a size of 200-500 mm 3 . For PC-3 xenografts, male NOD.Cg-Rag1 tm1Mom II2rg tm1Wjl /SzJ (NRG) mice were subcutaneously inoculated on the left flank with 5×10 6  PC-3 cells (100 μL; 1:1 ratio of PBS/Matrigel) and tumors were grown to a size of 200-400 mm 3 . 
     PET/CT Imaging 
     PET and CT scans were performed on a Siemens Inveon microPET/CT with body temperature maintained by a heating pad. Tumor-bearing mice were briefly sedated with isoflurane (2-2.5% isoflurane in 2 L/min 02) for i.v. injection of 4-7 MBq of each PET radiotracer. As a blocking control, mice received intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of 7.5 μg LY2510924 15 minutes prior to radiotracer administration. The animals were allowed to roam freely during the uptake period (50 or 110 minutes), after which they were sedated and scanned. The CT scan was obtained for attenuation correction and anatomical localization (80 kV; 500 pA; 3 bed positions; 34% overlap; 220° continuous rotation) followed by a 10 min PET acquisition at 1 or 2 h p.i. of the radiotracer. PET data were acquired in list mode, reconstructed using 3-dimensional ordered-subsets expectation maximization (2 iterations) followed by a fast maximum a priori algorithm (18 iterations) with CT-based attenuation correction. Images were analyzed using the Inveon Research Workplace software (Siemens Healthineers). 
     Biodistribution 
     Under isoflurane anesthesia (2-2.5% isoflurane in 2 L/min O 2 ), the mice were injected intravenously with 0.8-3.0 MBq of each radiotracer. Additional groups of mice received 7.5 μg LY2510924 as a blocking control i.p. 15 min before radiotracer injection. The mice were euthanized via CO 2  inhalation while anesthetized with isoflurane. Tissues were harvested, washed in PBS, blotted dry, weighed, and measured on a Hidex AMG Automatic Gamma Counter. The radioactivity counts were decay corrected, converted to absolute units using a calibration curve, and expressed as the percent injected dose per gram of tissue (% ID/g). 
     In Vivo Stability 
     Radiolabeled peptides (10-30 MBq) was intravenously injected into male NRG mice. After a 5-min, 24-hour or 120-hour uptake period, mice were sedated/euthanized, and blood was collected. The plasma was isolated and analyzed with analytical radio-HPLC following published procedures (Lin et al.,  Cancer Res.  2015, 75:387-393). 
     Dosimetry 
     The multi-time-point organ uptake obtained from biodistribution data of  177 Lu-labeled analogs was decayed to their appropriate time-point, fitted to a mono-exponential or bi-exponential model (fit chosen based on R2 and residuals) in Python (version 3.7). The area under the curve was used to compute residence times which were multiplied by model organ mass for human (NURBS model) and mouse (25 g MOBY mouse phantom) for use in OLINDA/EXM software (Hermes Medical Solution; version 2.0) that calculated dosimetry for an average mouse (Stabin et al.,  J Nucl Med.  2005, 46:1023-1027; Keenan et al.,  J Nucl Med.  2010, 51:471-476) and extrapolated to an average human male (Segars et al.,  J Nucl Med.  2001, 42:7; Stabin et al.,  J Nucl Med.  2012, 53:1807-13). 
     Results 
     As shown in Tables 1-23 and  FIGS. 1-11 , an anionic linker increases internalization (longer/sustained retention in tumor) and/or facilitates background clearance. This enhances tumor-to-background contrast for improved imaging and therapeutic agents compared to compounds that have a cationic linker, or a neutral linker (i.e. lysine amide conjugation or simple maleimide conjugation). This enhances tumor-to-background contrast for improved imaging and therapeutic agents. The albumin binder extends the circulatory half-life of the compounds in the mouse models, allowing for sustained uptake of the radiotracer into the tumor. As shown in Table 24-33, the Lu-177 labeled compounds delivered high radiation dose to tumor xenografts but minimal radiation dose to normal tissues/organs, leading to excellent tumor-to-normal tissue/organ therapeutic indexes. The in vivo stability of various compounds is shown in Table 34.
