[68Ga]Ga-DO2A-(OBu-l-tyr)2: Synthesis, 68Ga-radiolabeling and in vitro studies of a novel 68Ga-DO2A-tyrosine conjugate as potential tumor tracer for PET
摘要:
The synthesis, Ga-68-labeling and in vitro study of the novel tyrosine chelate derivative [Ga-68]Ga-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,7- diacetic acid-4,10-di-(O-butyl)-L-tyrosine ([68Ga] Ga-DO(2)A-(OBu-L-tyr)(2)) as a potential tracer for imaging tumor metabolism by positron emission tomography (PET) is presented. This approach combines the biological amino acid transporter targeting properties of L-tyrosine with the outstanding availability of Ga-68(III) via the Ge-68/Ga-68 generator. In vitro studies utilizing the F98-glioblastoma cell line revealed specific uptake of [Ga-68] Ga-DO(2)A-(OBu-L-tyr)(2) that was comparable to that of the reference O-(2-[F-18]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET). These promising results indicate a high potential of [Ga-68] Ga-DO(2)A-(OBu-L-tyr) 2 for molecular imaging of tumor-driven amino acid uptake by PET. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
