A novel Al18F-labelled NOTA-modified ubiquicidin 29-41 derivative as a bacterial infection PET imaging agent
The antimicrobial peptide ubiquicidin 29-41 (TGRAKRRMQYNRR) is a potential target for detecting bacterial infection. A novel UBI 29–41 derivative modified with 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (NOTA) on the amino side of lysine was synthesized and radiolabelled with Al18F, named [18F]AlF-NOTA-UBI 29–41. The novel PET tracer maintained good in vitro stability in saline at room temperature and mouse serum at 37 °C. In vitro bacterial binding experiments indicated that the tracer specifically bound to Staphylococcus aureus. A significant difference in the uptake of [18F]AlF-NOTA-UBI 29–41 between infected muscle and inflamed muscle was observed in biodistribution. A PET imaging study in mouse models with bacterial infection and sterile inflammation showed apparent accumulation at the infection site, suggesting that the complex is a potential PET tracer for distinguishing bacterial infection from sterile inflammation.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a global journal that publishes studies on all aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original papers and also welcomes critical review papers.
A typical paper would report on the organic synthesis, characterization and pharmacological evaluation of compounds. Other topics of interest are drug design, QSAR, molecular modeling, drug-receptor interactions, molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present the rational for a study, provide insight into the design of compounds or understanding of mechanism, or clarify the targets.
