Abstract
A bifunctional ligand is an essential component for targeted cancer therapy using cytotoxic radionuclides. We report the synthesis and evaluation of a novel bifunctional ligand, 3o-C-NETA, designed for labeling a bioactive small molecule or an antibody with β-particle emitting radionuclides 90Y and 177Lu. 3o-C-NETA is an octadentate chelating agent and contains both a macrocyclic backbone (1,4,7-triazacyclononane, TACN) and pendant donor groups. 3o-C-NETA was efficiently synthesized via the regiospecific ring opening of a functionalized aziridinium ion with tert-Butyl protected NODA (1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4-diacetic acid) and evaluated for radiolabeling kinetics and in vitro complex stability with 90Y and 177Lu. The new bifunctional ligand (3o-C-NETA) rapidly bound to 90Y or 177Lu, and the corresponding 90Y- or 177Lu-labeled 3o-C-NETA remained stable in human serum for two weeks.
双功能配体是使用细胞毒性放射性核素靶向癌症治疗的重要组成部分。我们报道了一种新的双功能配体30 - c - neta的合成和评价,该配体设计用于标记具有生物活性的小分子或具有发射放射性核素90Y和177Lu的β-颗粒的抗体。30 - c - neta是一种十八齿酸螯合剂,含有大环主链(1,4,7-三氮杂环壬烷,TACN)和垂链供体基团。用叔丁基保护的NODA(1,4,7-三氮环壬烷-1,4-二乙酸)通过功能化氮铱离子的区域特异性开环高效合成了30 - c - neta,并对其与90Y和177Lu的放射性标记动力学和体外配合物稳定性进行了评价。新的双功能配体(30 - c - neta)快速结合90Y或177Lu,相应的90Y或177Lu标记的30 - c - neta在人血清中保持稳定两周。
