Peptides are known as receptor-specific molecules that play an important role not only in diagnosis and therapy of neoplastic diseases, but also in the pathogenesis of other diseases. In an effort to develop a peptide-based radiopharmaceutical for scintigraphic studies, a small peptide Tyr-Gly-Gly-Ser-Leu-Ala-Lys (YGGSLAK) was synthesized by Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis using an automated synthesizer. This peptide was analyzed by TLC, HPLC and mass spectroscopy. Then, we investigated its analytical and pharmacokinetic study after radiolabeling with technetium-99 m (99mTc) using SnCl2. The radiochemical purity of the complex was over 95% and log p value was 1.46. In vivo biodistribution studies in rat showed that most activity of this injected radiolabeled peptide (99mTc-YGGSLAK) was accumulated in the liver and followed by gallbladder, intestines and kidney. Scintigraphy studies on rabbits also showed very high uptake and retention in the liver and gallbladder, and after 1 h slowly excreted through the hepatobiliary system and a little amount was also excreted through the renal system. The radiochemical and in vitro and in vivo characterization indicates that 99mTc-YGGSLAK has certain favorable properties and it might be used as a new radiopharmaceutical for hepatobiliary scintigraphy.

肽是众所周知的受体特异性分子,不仅在肿瘤疾病的诊断和治疗中发挥着重要作用,而且在其他疾病的发病机制中也发挥着重要作用。为了开发一种基于肽的放射性药物用于闪烁成像研究,我们使用自动合成器通过 Fmoc 固相肽合成法合成了一种小肽 Tyr-Gly-Gly-Ser-Leu-Ala-Lys (YGGSLAK)。对该肽进行了 TLC、HPLC 和质谱分析。然后,我们用 SnCl2 对其进行了锝-99 m (99mTc) 放射性标记后的分析和药代动力学研究。该复合物的放射化学纯度超过 95%,对数 p 值为 1.46。大鼠体内生物分布研究表明,注射的放射性标记肽(99mTc-YGGSLAK)大部分在肝脏积累,其次是胆囊、肠道和肾脏。对兔子进行的闪烁照相研究也显示,肝脏和胆囊的摄取和潴留率非常高,1 小时后通过肝胆系统缓慢排出体外,也有少量通过肾脏系统排出体外。放射化学和体内外表征表明,99m锝-YGGSLAK具有一定的良好特性,可作为一种新的放射性药物用于肝胆闪烁成像。Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
