摘要
Radiolabeled bisphosphonates are commonly used in the diagnosis and therapy of bone metastases. Blood clearance of bisphosphonates is usually fast and only 30%-50% of the injected activity is retained in the skeleton, while most of the activity is excreted by the urinary tract. A longer blood circulation may enhance accumulation of bisphosphonate compounds in bone metastases. Therefore, a chemically modified macrocyclic bisphosphonate derivative with an additional human albumin binding entity was synthesized and pharmacokinetics of its complex was evaluated. The DOTA-bisphosphonate conjugate BPAMD was compared against the novel DOTAGA-derived albumin-binding bisphosphonate DOTAGA(428-D-Lys)M-BP (L1). The ligands were labeled with Ga-68(III) and were evaluated in in vitro binding studies to hydroxyapatite (HA) as well as to human serum albumin. The compounds were finally compared in in vivo PET and ex vivo organ distribution studies in small animals over 6 h. Binding studies revealed a consistent affinity of both bisphosphonate tracers to HA. Small animal PET and ex vivo organ distribution studies showed longer blood retention of [Ga-68]L1. [Ga-68]BPAMD is initially more efficiently bound to the bone but skeletal accumulation of the modified compound and [Ga-68]BPAMD equalized at 6 h p.i. Ratios of femur epiphyseal plate to ordinary bone showed to be more favorable for [Ga-68]L1 than for [Ga-68]BPAMD due to the longer circulation time of the new tracer. Thus, the chemical modification of BPAMD toward an albumin-binding bisphosphonate, L1, resulted in a novel PET tracer which conserves advantages of both functional groups within one and the same molecule. The properties of this new diagnostic tracer are expected to be preserved in Lu-177 therapeutic agent with the same ligand (a theranostic pair).
