Improved 18F Labeling of Peptides with a Fluoride-Aluminum-Chelate Complex
摘要:
We reported previously the feasibility to radiolabel peptides with fluorine-18 (F-18) using a rapid one-pot method that first mixes F-18(-) with Al3+ and then binds the ((AlF)-F-18)(24) complex to a NOTA ligand on the peptide. In this report, we examined several new NOTA ligands and determined how temperature, reaction time, and reagent concentration affected the radiolabeling yield. Four structural variations of the NOTA ligand had isolated radiolabeling yields ranging from 5.8% to 87% under similar reaction conditions. All of the (AlF)-F-18 NOTA complexes were stable in vitro in human serum, and those that were tested in vivo also were stable. The radiolabeling reactions were performed at 100 C, and the peptides could be labeled in as little as 5 mm. The IMP467 peptide could be labeled up to 115 GBq/mu mol (3100 Ci/mmol), with a total reaction and purification time of 30 min without chromatographic purification.

The present application discloses compositions and methods of synthesis and use of F-18 labeled molecules of use, for example, in PET imaging techniques. The labeled molecules may be peptides or proteins, although other types of molecules may be labeled by the described methods. Preferably, the F-18 may be conjugated to a targeting molecule by formation of a metal complex and binding of the F-18-metal complex to a chelating moiety. Alternatively, the metal may first be conjugated to the chelating group and subsequently the F-18 bound to the metal. In other embodiments, the F-18 labeled moiety may comprise a targetable construct used in combination with a bispecific or multi specific antibody to target F-18 to a disease-associated antigen, such as a tumor-associated antigen. The F-18 labeled targetable construct peptides are stable in serum at 37° C. for a sufficient time to perform PET imaging analysis.
