Description Development of molecular imaging agents to target
tumor has become a major trend in nuclear medicine.
With the aim to develop new potential 99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals for targeting tumor, we have synthesized 5-nitroimidazolyl amino acids and RGD-coupled
2-nitroimidazoles. Technetium-99m radiolabeling with
high radiochemical purity (>90%) was achieved for all
the compounds. The radiolabeled complexes exhibited
substantial in vitro stability in saline, serum, and histidine solution (10�2M). Cell binding studies in EAC and
B16F10 cell lines also revealed rapid and comparatively
high cellular internalization. Among all the compounds
studied, the binding of 99mTc(CO)3-5 to B16F10 cells was moderately inhibited by the competitive peptide c[RGDfV], suggesting specificity of the radioligand toward avb3 receptor. However, no significant displacement of bound radioligand was observed when the binding of the 99mTc-labeled complexes to above cells was challenged with excess competitive peptide. Fluorescent microscopy study provided direct evidence of intracellular localization of 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein- labeled 2-nitroimidazolyl-RGD-peptide in avb3-positive B16F10 mouse melanoma cell line. The
ligands caused only 8–13% of hemolysis toward rat
erythrocytes at concentrations as high as 100 lM.
Imaging and biodistribution studies were performed in
Swiss albino mice bearing induced tumor. 99mTc-1 and
99mTc(CO)3-5 demonstrated a very favorable in vivo
profile. Selective uptake and retention in tumor with
encouraging tumor/muscle and tumor/blood ratio and
significant cellular uptake of fluorescence-labeled-2-nitroimidazolyl RGD indicate the great potentiality of the
pharmacophore for further evaluation as potential
molecular imaging agent in cancer diagnosis.
