The neurotensin receptor subtype 1 (NTS1) represents an attractive molecular target for imaging various tumors. Positron emission tomography (PET) gained widespread importance due to its sensitivity. We combined the design of a metabolically stable neurotensin analogue with a (68)Ga-radiolabeling approach. The (68)Ga-labeled peptoid-peptide hybrid [(68)Ga]3 revealed high stability, specific tumor uptake (0.7%ID/g, 65 min p.i.), and advantageous biokinetics in vivo using HT29 tumor-bearing nude mice. Because of the ability to internalize into NTS1-expressing tumor cells, [(68)Ga]3 proved to be highly suitable for a reliable and practical visualization of NTS1-expressing tumors in vivo by small animal PET.
神经降压素受体1型(NTS1)是用于多种肿瘤成像的一个有吸引力的分子靶点。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)因其灵敏度而具有广泛的重要性。我们将代谢稳定的神经降压素类似物设计与(68)Ga放射性标记方法相结合。(68)Ga标记的类肽-肽杂合物[(68)Ga]3显示出高稳定性、特异性肿瘤摄取(注射后65分钟时为0.7%ID/g),并且在荷HT29肿瘤的裸鼠体内具有有利的生物动力学。由于能够内化进入表达NTS1的肿瘤细胞,[(68)Ga]3被证明非常适合通过小动物PET在体内对表达NTS1的肿瘤进行可靠且实用的可视化。
