The chelator mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) forms a single stable chelate with technetium-99m (99mTc) oxotechnetate. The bifunctional N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester of mercaptoacetyltriglycine with S-acetyl protection of the sulfhydryl group may be used to conjugate MAG3 to primary amine functionalized biomolecules for the purpose of radiolabeling with 99mTc for gamma detection or single photon emission computed tomography imaging (SPECT). We report here an improved MAG3 conjugation and 99mTc radiolabeling method capable of generating high radiochemical yield and high specific radioactivity. Post-labeling purification will not be needed if the protocol is followed as presented. Apart from the preparation of reagents, the conjugation and purification requires about 4 h, while the labeling with 99mTc requires about an additional 30 min. 相似文献

Radiolabeling of small receptor-avid peptides at specific predetermined chelation sites with radioactive metals has been an effective approach for production of target-specific radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Among various electron-donating groups found on chelator frameworks, phosphines are unique because they display versatile coordination chemistry with a wide range of transition metals. We have recently reported the utility of a dithia-bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphine-based (P2S2) bifunctional chelating agent (BFCA) containing air-stable primary phosphine groups to form 99mTc-labeled receptor-avid peptides by the preconjugation approach. Here we report a novel strategy for labeling small peptides with both 99mTc and 188Re using the P2S2-COOH (6,8-bis[3-(bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphanyl)propylsulfanyl]octanoic acid) BFCA by a postconjugation radiolabeling approach. The first step in this approach involves the coupling of the corresponding (PH2)2S2-COOH intermediate to the N-terminus of the peptide(s). Formylation of P-H bonds with aqueous formaldehyde in the presence of HCl in ethanol affords the corresponding (hydroxymethyl)phosphine-P2S2-peptide conjugates in the form of an oxidatively stable phosphonium salt. The P2S2-peptide conjugates are generated (where the PH2 groups are converted to P(CH2OH)2 groups) by treatment of the P2S2-peptide phosphonium salt(s) with 1 M sodium bicarbonate solution at pH 8.5. Complexation of BFCA conjugates with 99mTc is achieved by direct reduction with Sn(II) tartarate to yield the 99mTc-P2S2-peptide conjugate in near quantitative yields. Complexation of the BFCA conjugates with 188Re is achieved by transchelation with 188Re citrate in yields of >/=90%. In this study, (PH2)2S2-COOH BFCA was conjugated to model peptides. The glycineglycine ethyl ester (GlyGlyOEt)-(PH2)2S2-COOH BFCA conjugate was converted to the hydroxymethylene phosphine form and complexed with 99mTc to produce the 99mTcO2-P2S2-GlyGlyOEt conjugate 8 in RCPs of >/=95%. This singular 99mTc product is stable over 24 h in aqueous solution as confirmed by HPLC. Identical retention times of the 99mTcO2-P2S2-GlyGlyOEt complex and its cold rhenium analogue (ReO2-P2S2-GlyGlyOEt) on HPLC indicates similarity in structures at the macroscopic and the tracer levels. The utility of this postconjugation strategy was further demonstrated by synthesizing a P2S2-D-Lys6-LHRH conjugate and producing its corresponding 99mTc complex in RCPs of >/=88%. Finally, the P2S2-5-Ava-BBN[7-14]NH2 bombesin (BBN) analogue was synthesized, the PH2 groups converted to P(CH2OH)2 groups and subsequently labeled with 188Re to yield a 188Re-labeled bombesin analogue with a RCP of >/=90%. The biological integrity of this conjugate was demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the (PH2)2S2-COOH BFCA can be conveniently used as a precursor for labeling small receptor-avid peptides with diagnostic (99mTc) and therapeutic (188Re) radionuclides via the postconjugation approach in high yields. 相似文献

Acetaminophen (AAP), acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and dipyrone (DIP) are antipyretic and analgesics drugs that have wide use in health sciences. Some drugs can modify the labeling of blood elements with technetium-99m (99mTc). This work has evaluated the effect of AAP, ASA and DIP on the labeling of the blood elements with 99mTc. Blood was incubated with different concentrations of the drugs before the 99mTc-labeled process. Plasma (P), blood cells (BC), insoluble (IF-P, IF-BC) and soluble (SF-P, SF-BC) fractions were separated and percentage of radioactivity (%ATI) in each fraction was determined. Data have shown that the antipyretic drugs used in this study did not significantly modify the fixation of 99mTc on the blood elements when the experiments were carried out with the doses usually used in human beings. Although the experiments were carried out with rats, it is possible to suggest that AAP, ASA or DIP should not interfere with the procedures in nuclear medicine involving the labeling of blood elements with 99mTc. 相似文献

Since ancient times propolis has been employed for many human purposes because to their favourable properties. Blood constituents labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) have been used in nuclear medicine procedures. Some authors have reported that synthetic or natural drugs can interfere with the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc. The aim of this work was to evaluate the action of a propolis extract on the labeling of blood elements with 99mTc. Samples of whole blood of male Wistar rats were incubated in sequence with an aqueous propolis extract at different concentrations, stannous chloride and 99mTc, as sodium pertechnetate. Blood samples were centrifuged to separate plasma and blood cells, soluble and insoluble fractions of plasma and blood cells were also separated after precipitation in trichloroacetic acid solution and centrifugation. The radioactivity was counted and the percentage of incorporated radioactivity (%ATI) for each fraction was calculated. The data obtained showed that the aqueous propolis extract used decreased significantly the %ATI in plasma proteins at higher concentration studied. Results suggest that at high concentration the constituents of this extract could alter the labeling of plasma proteins competing with same binding sites of the 99mTc on the plasma proteins or acting as antioxidant compounds. 相似文献

A new labeling approach for incorporating bioactive peptides into a technetium-99m coordination complex is described. This method exploits the chemical properties of the novel metal-nitrido fragment [99mTc(N)(PXP)]2+, composed of a terminal Tc[triple bond] N multiple bond bound to an ancillary diphosphine ligand (PXP). It will be shown that this basic, molecular building block easily forms in solution as the dichloride derivative [99mTc(N)(PXP)Cl2], and that this latter complex selectively reacts with monoanionic and dianionic, bidentate ligands (YZ) having soft, pi-donor coordinating atoms to afford asymmetrical nitrido heterocomplexes of the type [99mTc(N)(PXP)(YZ)]0/+ without removal of the basic motif [99mTc(N)(PXP)]2+. The reactions of the amino acid cysteine was studied in detail. It was found that cysteine readily coordinates to the metal fragment [99mTc(N)(PXP)]2+ either through the [NH2, S-] pair of donor atoms or, alternatively, through the [O-, S-] pair, to yield the corresponding asymmetrical complexes in very high specific activity. Thus, these results were conveniently employed to devise a new, efficient procedure for labeling short peptide sequences having a terminal cysteine group available for coordination to the [99mTc(N)(PXP)]2+ fragment. Examples of the application of this novel approach to the labeling of the short peptide ligand H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys-OH (H(2)1) and of the peptidomimetic derivative H-Cys-Val-2-Nal-Met-OH (H2) will be discussed. 相似文献

Thuya occidentalis is used in popular medicine in the treatment of condyloma and has antibacterial action. Red blood cells (RBC) labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) are used for several evaluations in nuclear medicine. This labeling depends on a reducing agent, usually stannous ion. Any drug which alters the labeling of the tracer could be expected to modify the disposition of the radiopharmaceutical. We have evaluated the influence of T. occidentalis extract on the labeling of RBC and plasma proteins with 99mTc. Blood was withdrawn and incubated with T. occidentalis (0.25; 2.5; 20.5; and 34.1 percent v/v). Stannous chloride (1.2 micrograms/ml) was added and then 99mTc was added. Plasma (P) and blood cells (BC) were isolated, also precipitated with trichloroacetic acid and soluble (SF) and insoluble fractions (IF) separated. The analysis of the results shows that there is a decrease in radioactivity (from 97.64 to 75.89 percent) in BC with 34.1 percent of the drug. In the labeling process of RBC with 99mTc, the stannous and pertechnetate ions pass through the membrane, so we suggest that the T. occidentalis effect can be explained (i) by an inhibition of the transport of these ions, (ii) by damage in membrane, (iii) by competition with the cited ions for the same binding sites, or (iv) by possible generation of reactive oxygen species that could oxidize the stannous ion. 相似文献

Sechium edule (chayotte) is used as food or as medication in popular medicine. The labeling of blood elements with technetium-99m (99mTc) has been altered by drugs (synthetic and natural). Some authors have reported biological effects concerning the chayotte. We have evaluated the influence of chayotte extracts (macerated and infusion) on the labeling of blood elements with 99mTc. In vitro study, blood was incubated with the extracts, (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100% v/v). In in vivo study, the animals were treated with the extracts (100% v/v), as drinking water (15 and 60 days) and samples of blood were withdrawn. The blood samples were incubated with stannous chloride and with 99mTc. Plasma (P) and blood cells (BC) were isolated, also precipitated with trichloroacetic acid and soluble (SF) and insoluble fractions (IF) separated. There was a (p < 0.05) decrease in the radioactivity in BC, IF-BC and IF-P with the infusion (100%) and a slight decrease in the uptake of 99mTc by BC and a strong decrease in the fixation in IF-P with the macerated when the extracts were administrated in vivo (15 days). In 60 days, there was a decrease in BC (98.77 to 53.53%), in IF-BC (90.36 to 21.20%) and in IF-P (77.20 to 11.01%). In vitro study no alterations on the labeling of blood elements were found, however, we have found alterations on the fixation of 99mTc in the in vivo study, probably, due to the metabolization of chayotte capable to induce the generation of active metabolites. 相似文献

The synthesis of a hybrid constituted by distamycin A and cysteine labeled with the gamma-emitting radionuclide 99mTc to afford the conjugate complex 5 is reported. This new radiopharmaceutical is of potential interest as tumor imaging agent in diagnostic nuclear medicine. The preparation of the hybrid distamycin A-cysteine 4 has been achieved by coupling deformyldistamycin A and Boc-Dmt-OH. Compound 4 was then successfully labeled with 99mTc by reaction with the novel, high-electrophilic, metal-containing fragment [99mTc(N)(PP)]2+ (PP = diphosphine ligand) yielding the 1:1 complex 5. 相似文献

It is estimated that about 2.5 million people only in the United States are affected by epilepsy. Labelled red blood cells (RBC) and plasma proteins (PP) are used for several evaluations in nuclear medicine and drugs affecting those labelings have previously been described. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the most popular antiseizure drugs interfere with the 99mTc labeling process of RBC and PP. Heparinized blood withdrawn from Wistar rats was incubated with phenobarbital (0.2, 2, 20, 200, 2,000 microg/ml), phenytoin (0.15, 1.5, 15, 150, 1,500 microg/ml), carbamazepine (0.7, 7, 70 microg/ml), clonazepam (0.5, 5, 50, 500 microg/ml) or valproic acid (0.5, 5, 50, 500 microg/ml) for I hr. Stannous chloride (SnCl2), in two different concentrations (0.012 or 1.2 microg/ml) and 99mTc were added. Plasma and cellular fractions were isolated by centrifugation, soluble and insoluble fractions were separated by trichloroacetic acid precipitation. The percentage of radioactivity was calculated for each fraction. Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA and Dunnet tests. The analysis of the results has shown that phenobarbital (2,000 microg/ml) and clonazepam (50 microg/ml) significantly have reduced the RBC labeling efficiency when it was used the optimal SnCl2 concentration (1.2 microg/ml) and clonazepam (5, 50 microg/ml) has significantly decreased the PP labeling efficiency with 99mTc. Phenytoin (1,500 microg/ml) has decreased the RBC labeling efficiency when the experiments were carried out with a small SnCl2 concentration (0.012 microg/ml). We can suggest that with this in vitro assay, at the therapeutic level of phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine and valproic acid will not interfere on the 99mTc labeling process of RBC. Interference is displayed at higher phenobarbital concentrations (2,000 microg/ml). However, humans do not tolerate this concentration. On the other hand, a decreased RBC and PP labeling efficiency with 99mTc may be expected for clonazepam at therapeutic levels. 相似文献

Biodistribution and lymphoscintigraphy of cyclosporine A (CyA) and technetium-99m (99mTc) were studied using 99mTc-labeled dextran acetate (DxA) including CyA. DxA particles were prepared from dextran with acetic anhydride, and CyA was loaded into them. Lymphatic delivery of 99mTc-labeled DxA particles containing CyA was evaluated after subcutaneous injection into the foot pad of rats and compared with those of 99mTc-labeled human serum albumin (HSA). The labeling efficiency of CyA-loaded 99mTc-DxA particles was about 95% at 30 min. The labeling efficiency maintained stably above 80% for 12 h. The percent injected dose (%ID) of CyA-loaded 99mTc-DxA was similar to that of 99mTc-HSA at the inguinal lymph node after 40 min. The CyA-loaded 99mTc-DxA could be as well distributed as 99mTc-HSA through the lymph node. The DxA particles could steadily distribute the CyA as well as the 99mTc radiolabeling through the lymph node. 相似文献

Since technetium-99m (99mTc) was introduced in medical research it has become one of the most employed radionuclides in nuclear medicine. 99mTc is ideal for routine use on the labeling of different radiopharmaceuticals due to its favorable characteristics. However, some biological effects have been described. These effects may be related to internal conversion electron and/or Auger electron emissions from 99mTc decay that present high linear energy transfer and can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the medium. We evaluated in Escherichia coli K12S and Salmonella typhimurium TA102, both proficient in DNA repair, contribution of those decay emissions on the cytotoxicity induced by 99mTc, both either by generating lesions on DNA or by inducing alterations at membrane. We also studied the genotoxic and/or mutagenic potentiality of 99mTc, in Salmonella typhimurium, using the Ames test. The results showed that: i/ 99mTc is cytotoxic to the Escherichia coli K12S strains; ii/ this effect is related to the electrons (Auger and internal conversion) emissions, and iii/ the 99mTc is not mutagenic and/or genotoxic, when measured by Ames test. 相似文献

Blood constituents labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) have been used in nuclear medicine procedures and drugs are capable to interfere on this labeling. Lantana camara (lantana) has medicinal properties and it has been used in folk medicine. The aim is to verify the effect of a lantana extract on the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc. Blood of rats was incubated with extract, stannous chloride and 99mTc, as sodium pertechnetate. Plasma (P) and blood cells (BC) were isolated, also precipitated with trichloroacetic acid and soluble (SF) and insoluble fractions (IF) were separated. The % of radioactivity (%ATI) in these samples was calculated. Samples of labeled BC were washed and the %ATI maintained (%ATI-M) in the BC was determined. The results showed that lantana extract decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in the IF-P from 70.24 +/- 2.59 to 11.95 +/- 3.07. This effect was not observed in the BC and IF-BC. The BC-%ATI-M was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in all concentrations tested when the BC was washed. This fact was not observed in the control. Substances present on the extract should have redoxi action decreasing the concentration of the stannous ion and this condition could justify the effect on the IF-P. The results about the BC-%ATI-M should indicate a possible effect on the transport of ions through the erythrocyte membrane. 相似文献

Acetylsalicylic acid is the most widely used drug as antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory agent and for secondary prevention of thrombotic phenomena in the heart, brain and peripheral circulation. Drugs can modify the labeling of blood constituents with technetium-99m (99mTc). This work has evaluated the effect of in vivo treatment with acetylsalicylic acid on the in vitro labeling of the blood constituents with 99mTc. Wistar rats were treated with different doses (1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 mg/kg) of acetylsalicylic acid during 1 hour. At higher dose used (6.0 mg/kg) animals were treated during different period of time (0.25, 1.0 and 4.0 hours). Animals treated with physiologic saline solution were used as control. After the labeled process; plasma (P), blood cells (BC), insoluble (IF-P, IF-BC) and soluble (SF-P, SF-BC) fractions were separated. Afterwards, the percentage of radioactivity (%ATI) in each fraction was calculated. The treatment during 1 hour with acetylsalicylic acid at higher dose has significantly (p < 0.05) modified the fixation of 99mTc on blood cells. Considering the results, we suggest that acetylsalicylic acid used at therapeutic doses may interfere with the nuclear medicine procedures related to these blood constituents. 相似文献

Integrin alphavbeta3 plays a critical role in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Radiolabeled RGD peptides that are integrin alphavbeta3-specific are very useful for noninvasive imaging of integrin expression in rapidly growing and metastatic tumors. In this study, we determined the binding affinity of E{E[c(RGDfK)]2}2 (tetramer) and its 6-hydrazinonicotinamide conjugate (HYNIC-tetramer) against the binding of 125I-echistatin to the integrin alphavbeta3-positive MDA-MB-435 breast cancer cells. The athymic nude mice bearing MDA-MB-435 xenografts were used to evaluate the potential of ternary ligand complex [99mTc(HYNIC-tetramer)(tricine)(TPPTS)] (TPPTS = trisodium triphenylphosphine-3,3',3' '-trisulfonate) as a new radiotracer for imaging breast cancer integrin alphavbeta3 expression by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). It was found that the binding affinity of tetramer (IC50 = 51 +/- 11 nM) was slightly higher than that of its dimeric analogue (IC50 = 78 +/- 27 nM) and is comparable to that of the HYNIC-tetramer conjugate (IC50 = 55 +/- 11 nM) within the experimental error. Biodistribution data showed that [99mTc(HYNIC-tetramer)(tricine)(TPPTS)] had a rapid blood clearance (4.61 +/- 0.81 %ID/g at 5 min postinjection (p.i.) and 0.56 +/- 0.12 %ID/g at 120 min p.i.) and was excreted mainly via the renal route. [99mTc(HYNIC-tetramer)(tricine)(TPPTS)] had high tumor uptake with a long tumor retention (5.60 +/- 0.87 %ID/g and 7.30 +/- 1.32 %ID/g at 5 and 120 min p.i., respectively). The integrin alphavbeta3-specificity was demonstrated by co-injection of excess E[c(RGDfK)]2, which resulted in a significant reduction in tumor uptake of the radiotracer. The metabolic stability of [99mTc(HYNIC-tetramer)(tricine)(TPPTS)] was determined by analyzing urine and feces samples from the tumor-bearing mice at 120 min p.i. In the urine, about 20% of [99mTc(HYNIC-tetramer)(tricine)(TPPTS)] remained intact while only approximately 15% metabolized species was detected in feces. SPECT images displayed significant radiotracer localization in tumor with good contrast as early as 1 h p.i. The high tumor uptake and fast renal excretion make [99mTc(HYNIC-tetramer)(tricine)(TPPTS)] a promising radiotracer for noninvasive imaging of the integrin alphavbeta3-positive tumors by SPECT. 相似文献

An approach to a new class of potential radiopharmaceuticals is demonstrated by the labeling of a glucosamine derivative with the tricarbonyls of 99mTc and 186Re. The proligand HL2 (N-(2'-hydroxybenzyl)-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose) was produced by hydrogenation of the corresponding Schiff base and reacted with [NEt4]2[Re(CO)3Br3] to form the neutral complex [(L2)Re(CO)3] in 40% yield. 1H and 13C NMR spectra indicate that the [Re(CO)3] core is bound in a tridentate fashion via the amino N, phenolato O, and C-3 hydroxyl O atoms of the ligand. At the tracer-level, labeling of HL2 with [99mTc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ and [186Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ was achieved in aqueous conditions in 95 +/- 2% and 94 +/- 3% average radiochemical yields, respectively. 相似文献

The changes in conjugated indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels compared to the levels of free IAA have been analyzed during the development of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seed using quantitative mass spectrometry. Free and ester-linked IAA levels are both relatively high in the early stages of seed development but drop during seed maturation. Concomitantly, the amide-linked IAA becomes the major form of IAA present as the seed matures. In fully mature seed, amide IAA accounts for 80% of the total IAA. The total IAA pool in the seed is maintained at approximately the same level (150-170 nanograms/seed) once the level of free IAA has attained its maximum. Thus, the amount of amide IAA conjugates that accumulate in mature seed is closely related to the amounts of free and ester-linked IAA that disappeared from the rapidly growing seed. Analysis of developing bean pods, from which the seeds were taken for analysis, showed very low levels of both ester and amide-linked IAA conjugates. The pattern of changes seen in the levels of free and conjugated IAA in developing bean seed supports our prior hypothesis suggesting a role of IAA conjugates in the storage of the phytohormone in the seed. 相似文献

Ornithine lipids (OLs) are phosphorus-free membrane lipids that are widespread in eubacteria, but absent from archaea and eukaryotes. They contain a 3-hydroxy fatty acyl group attached in amide linkage to the α-amino group of the amino acid ornithine. A second fatty acyl group is ester-linked to the 3-hydroxy position of the first fatty acid. About 25% of the bacterial species whose genomes have been sequenced are predicted to have the capacity to form OLs. Distinct OL hydroxylations have been described in the ester-linked fatty acid, the amide-linked fatty acid, and the ornithine moiety. These modifications often seem to form part of a bacterial stress response to changing environmental conditions, allowing the bacteria to adjust membrane properties by simply modifying already existing membrane lipids without the need to synthesize new lipids. 相似文献

Four 99mTc and three 123I labeling methods were evaluated for their suitability to label low density lipoproteins (LDL) for the purpose of scintigraphic biodistribution studies. For 99mTc these methods were: direct incorporation in LDL of 99mTcO4- using sodium dithionite (dithionite method); a method using first N,N-dimethylformamide to prepare a 99mTc-complex reacting with LDL in a subsequent step (DMF method); a technique in which 99mTcO4- is first coupled to a diamide dithiolate derivative of pentanoic acid by reduction with dithionite, followed by coupling of this ligand to LDL (N2S2 method); and a method using sodium borohydride and stannous chloride as reducing agents (borohydride method). The iodination techniques were based on oxidation of I(-)----I+, using iodine monochloride (ICl method), 1,3,4,6-tetrachloro-3,6-diphenylglycoluril (Iodogen method), and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS method) as oxidants. We studied labeling yields, modification of LDL caused by the labeling procedures using agarose-gel electrophoresis, and radiochemical stability of the labeled LDL complex upon incubation in plasma at 37 degrees C for 15 h. We used Sepharose CL6B chromatography to separate LDL from other plasma proteins. We also examined whether LDL isolated from frozen plasma (Pool-LDL) gave results similar to LDL obtained from freshly prepared plasma (Fresh-LDL). Pool-LDL radiolabeled by the dithionite, DMF, NBS, and Iodogen methods lost its label upon incubation with plasma. This also happened with Fresh-LDL when the DMF, NBS and Iodogen methods were used. Upon agarose-gel electrophoresis, no modification of LDL was observed with all methods when the radionuclide/LDL ratio was kept low.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

S-Acetyl MAG(3) (S-acetylmercaptoacetyltriglycine) has been used as a chelator for the (99m)Tc labeling of a variety of biomolecules. The objective of this study was to improve upon the labeling of morpholino (MORF), a DNA analogue, as a model biomolecule. A 15mer MORF with a primary amine was conjugated with NHS-MAG(3) in the usual manner, and the MORF-MAG(3) was purified over a P4 column as before. The conjugate was radiolabeled using stannous ion as usual, and the impurities were identified using size exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (SE HPLC). Various methods were then investigated to remove the impurities. With tartrate as the transchelator, two impurities were identified as labeled MAG(3) and labeled tartrate. The labeled MAG(3) could not be removed by simply repurifying the conjugate using the usual pH 5.2 NH(4)OAc buffer before labeling. However, this impurity could be completely removed if the conjugate was adjusted to pH 7.6 and heated before repurification. The labeled tartrate impurity was removed by heating during labeling. On the basis of these observations, the following procedure for purification of the conjugation mixture and subsequent labeling was adopted. After MORF was conjugated with NHS-MAG(3) and purified over P4 with pH 5.2 NH(4)OAc eluant, the oligomer fractions were combined, adjusted to pH 7.6, and heated in a boiling water bath for 20 min. The conjugated oligomer was then repurified over P4 for storage at refrigerator temperatures. Labeling is achieved simply by adding fresh stannous ion to a solution of the MORF-MAG(3) in pH 7.6 containing tartrate followed by (99m)Tc-pertechnetate. After the mixture is heated for 20 min in boiling water, the labeling efficiency is always over 90% as determined by size exclusion HPLC and paper chromatography and the specific activities can exceed 7 mCi/microg. By making several relatively simple changes to the routine procedure used to conjugate and radiolabel biomolecules with (99m)Tc via MAG(3), a modified procedure was developed that results in labeling efficiency high enough to avoid postlabeling purification. 相似文献

Bombesin (BBN) peptide exhibits high selectivity and affinity for the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPr). The GRPr is overexpressed on many human cancer cell types, thus making BBN a potent delivery vehicle for radionuclide targeting. In this study, the biologically active minimal sequence BBN(7-14) was labeled using the novel Tc '4 + 1' mixed-ligand system, [Tc(NS3)(CN-R)], in which Tc(III) is coordinated by a monodentate isocyanide linker bearing the peptide and the tetradentate, tripodal chelator, 2,2',2'-nitrilotriethanethiol (NS3). BBN(7-14) was N-terminally modified with Gly-Gly-Gly, betaAla, and Ser-Ser-Ser spacer groups (X) and functionalized with 4-(isocyanomethyl)benzoic acid (L1) or 4-isocyanobutanoic acid (L2), resulting in a series of [M(NS3)(L-X-BBN(7-14))] conjugates (M = 99mTc, Re). The isocyanide ligand frameworks were introduced using novel bifunctional coupling agents. The spacer groups (X), the monodentate isocyanide units, and a tetradentate NS3 chelator bearing a pendant carboxylic acid (NS3COOH) were proposed as pharmacological modifiers. 99mTc-labeling was performed in a two-step procedure by first preparing 99mTc-EDTA/mannitol followed by reactions with the isocyanides and NS3 or NS3COOH ligand frameworks. The 99mTc complexes were obtained with a radiochemical yield of 30-80% depending on the amount of the isocyanide (20-100 nmol) used. These new conjugates were purified by reversed-phased high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) to give a radiochemical purity of >or=95%. The 99mTc conjugates exhibited high in vitro stability (>90%, 24 h). Analogous nonradioactive Re conjugates were synthesized and characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). RP-HPLC analyses of the Re conjugates indicated that they exhibited identical retention times to the corresponding 99mTc conjugates under identical HPLC conditions, demonstrating structural similarity between the two metalated species. The [Re(NS3)(L-X-BBN(7-14))] conjugates exhibited GRPr affinity in the nanomolar range as demonstrated by in vitro competitive binding assays using PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. In vitro internalization/externalization assays indicated that approximately 65% of [99mTc(NS3)(L2-betaAla-BBN(7-14))] conjugate was either surface-bound or internalized in PC-3 cells. Cell-associated activity for all other 99mTc conjugates was below 20%. Biodistribution studies of [99mTc(NS3)(L-betaAla-BBN(7-14))], L = L1 or L2, in normal, CF-1 mice showed minimal accumulation in normal pancreas (a tissue expressing the GRPr in high density in rodent models) and rapid hepatobiliary elimination. Introduction of a carboxyl group onto the NS3 ligand framework had only minimal effects to increase renal excretion. Activity distribution and accumulation was highly dominated by the relatively lipophilic '4 + 1' complex unit. 相似文献
