Evaluation of K(HYNIC)(2) as a bifunctional chelator for (99m)Tc-labeling of small biomolecules.

ABSTRACT: This study sought to evaluate K(HYNIC)(2) (K = lysine and HYNIC = 6-hydrazinonicotinyl) as a bifunctional chelator for (99m)Tc-labeling of biomolecule. In this study, four K(HYNIC)(2)-conjugated cyclic RGD peptides, K(HYNIC)(2)-RGD(2) (RGD(2) = E[c(RGDfK)](2)), K(HYNIC)(2)-3G-RGD(2) (3G-RGD(2) = Gly-Gly-Gly-E[Gly-Gly-Gly-c(RGDfK)](2)), K(HYNIC)(2)-2P-RGD(2) (2P-RGD(2) = E[PEG4-c(RGDfK)](2), and PEG(4) = 15-amino-4,7,10,13-tetraoxapentadecanoic acid), and K(HYNIC)(2)-3P-RGD(2) (3P-RGD(2) = PEG4-E[PEG4-c(RGDfK)]2) were prepared, and evaluated for their integrin ?v?3 binding affinity. IC(50) values were determined to be 47 ± 2, 35 ± 2, 37 ± 2, 85 ± 2, and 422 ± 15 nM for K(HYNIC)(2)-2P-RGD(2), K(HYNIC)(2)-3P-RGD(2), K(HYNIC)(2)-3G-RGD(2), K(HYNIC)(2)-RGD(2), and c(RGDyK), respectively, against (125)I-echistatin bound to U87MG cells. Macrocyclic complexes [(99m)Tc(K(HYNIC)(2)-RGD(2))(tricine)] (1), [(99m)Tc(K(HYNIC)(2)-3G-RGD(2))(tricine)] (2), [(99m)Tc(K(HYNIC)(2)-2P-RGD(2))(tricine)] (3), and [(99m)Tc(K(HYNIC)(2)-3P-RGD(2))(tricine)] (4) were prepared, and evaluated in athymic nude mice bearing U87MG glioma xenografts for their tumor targeting capability and biodistribution. It was found that 1-4 all had high solution stability and more than two isomers, as evidenced by the presence of multiple radiometric peaks in their radio-HPLC chromatograms. The tumor uptake of 1-4 was 3.78 ± 0.81, 7.46 ± 1.68, 9.74 ± 1.65, and 8.59 ± 1.52%ID/g, respectively, which was completely consistent with trend of integrin ?(v)?(3) binding affinity for cyclic RGD peptides. Replacing [(99m)Tc(HYNIC)(tricine)(TPPTS)] (TPPTS = trisodium triphenylphosphine-3,3',3"-trisulfonate) with [(99m)Tc(K(HYNIC)(2))(tricine)] had little impact on radiotracer tumor uptake; but it had significant effect on the uptake of radiotracer in kidneys, lungs, and spleen. The tumor was clearly visualized by SPECT/CT with excellent contrast in a glioma-bearing mouse administered with 4. K(HYNIC)(2) would be particularly useful for (99m)Tc-labeling of small biomolecules with one or more disulfide linkages.

Project description:PurposeSentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has proven to reliably stage the clinically negative neck in early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept may be of benefit in OSCC with complex lymphatic drainage patterns and close spatial relation to SLNs.MethodsA prospective within-patient evaluation study was designed to compare [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept with [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid for SLN detection. A total of 20 patients with early-stage OSCC were included, who underwent lymphoscintigraphy with both tracers. Both lymphoscintigraphic images of each patient were evaluated for SLN detection and radiotracer distribution at 2-4 h post-injection.ResultsThe injection site's remaining radioactivity was significantly lower for [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept (29.9%), compared with [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid (60.9%; p < 0.001). Radioactive uptake in SLNs was significantly lower for [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept (1.95%) compared with [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid (3.16%; p = 0.010). No significant difference was seen in SLN to injection site ratio in radioactivity between [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept (0.066) and [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid (0.054; p = 0.232). A median of 3.0 and 2.5 SLNs were identified with [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept and [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid, respectively (p = 0.297). Radioactive uptake in higher echelon nodes was not significantly different between [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept (0.57%) and [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid (0.86%) (p = 0.052). A median of 2.0 and 2.5 higher echelon nodes was identified with [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept and [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid, respectively (p = 0.083).Conclusion[99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept had a higher injection site clearance, but at the same time a lower uptake in the SLN, resulting in an SLN to injection site ratio, which was not significantly different from [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid. The relatively low-radioactive uptake in SLNs of [99mTc]Tc-tilmanocept may limit intraoperative detection of SLNs, but can be overcome by a higher injection dose.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Molecular breast imaging (MBI) performed with 99mTc sestamibi has been shown to be a valuable technique for the detection of breast cancer. Alternative radiotracers such as 99mTc maraciclatide may offer improved uptake in breast lesions. The purpose of this study was to compare relative performance of 99mTc sestamibi and 99mTc maraciclatide in patients with suspected breast cancer, using a high-resolution dedicated gamma camera for MBI. Women with breast lesions suspicious for malignancy were recruited to undergo two MBI examinations-one with 99mTc sestamibi and one with 99mTc maraciclatide. A radiologist interpreted MBI studies in a randomized, blinded fashion to assign an assessment score (1-5) and measured lesion size. Lesion-to-background (L/B) ratio was measured with region-of-interest analysis. RESULTS:Among 39 analyzable patients, 21 malignant tumors were identified in 21 patients. Eighteen of 21 tumors (86%) were seen on 99mTc sestamibi MBI and 19 of 21 (90%) were seen on 99mTc maraciclatide MBI (p?=?1). Tumor extent measured with both radiopharmaceuticals correlated strongly with pathologic size (99mTc sestamibi, r?=?0.84; 99mTc maraciclatide, r?=?0.81). The L/B ratio in detected breast cancers was similar for the two radiopharmaceuticals: 1.55?±?0.36 (mean?±?S.D.) for 99mTc sestamibi and 1.62?±?0.37 (mean?±?S.D.) for 99mTc maraciclatide (p?=?0.53). No correlation was found between the L/B ratio and molecular subtype for 99mTc sestamibi (r s ?=?0.12, p?=?0.63) or 99mTc maraciclatide (r s ?=?-0.12, p?=?0.64). Of 20 benign lesions, 10 (50%) were seen on 99mTc sestamibi and 9 of 20 (45%) were seen on 99mTc maraciclatide images (p?=?0.1). The average L/B ratio for benign lesions was 1.34?±0.40 (mean?±S.D.) for 99mTc sestamibi and 1.41?±0.52 (mean?±S.D.) for 99mTc maraciclatide (p?=?0.75). Overall diagnostic performance was similar for both radiopharmaceuticals. AUC from ROC analysis was 0.83 for 99mTc sestamibi and 0.87 for 99mTc maraciclatide (p?=?0.64). CONCLUSIONS:99mTc maraciclatide offered comparable lesion uptake to 99mTc sestamibi, in both malignant and benign lesions. There was good correlation between lesion extent and uptake measured from both radiopharmaceuticals. 99mTc maraciclatide offered a marginal (but not significant) improvement in sensitivity over 99mTc sestamibi. Our findings did not support an association between the uptake of either radiopharmaceutical and tumor molecular subtype. TRIAL REGISTRATION:ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00888589.
