Abstract:
Prostate specific membrane antigen(PSMA) as a specific target antigen for prostate cancer has become an ideal target. The use of PSMA labeled with
68Ga has become a hot topic in prostate cancer diagnosis, staging and efficacy evaluation. To develop a new
68Ga labeled PSMA compound with better physical and chemical properties, a novel PSMA small molecule inhibitor
68Ga-NOTA-ANCP-PSMA was designed, with 1-naphthylalanine, tranexamic acid and phenylalanine as the side chain. And its labeling method, physical and chemical properties and preliminary evaluation were carried out.
68Ga was labeled to the PSMA compound directly, and the labeling conditions such as temperature, pH and precursor compound input amount were tested, respectively. The stability and octanol-water partition coefficient were determined, and the
in vitro distribution of normal mice was determined. The labeling conditions should be controlled at pH=3.0-4.5, the labeling temperature was selected at 90.0-95.0 ℃, and the precursor compound concentration was not lower than 20 mg/L. In optimal labeling conditions, the labeling yield achieves to over 95%. The purified labeled compound shows good vitro stability, and radiochemical purity is stable in the PBS system and the serum protein system for 2 hours. The octanol-water partition coefficient is -1.36±0.01(
n=3), which is a little higher than PSMA-617. The distribution in normal mice show that the compound clears fast in blood, mainly by kidney metabolism, lower uptake shows in non-target organs. The compound shows good properties, which is expected to be used for the diagnosis of prostate for PET, and provide a basis for developing prostate cancer theranostic targeted molecules probe for the future.
