Abstract:
This paper was to design a cyclic RGD peptide tumor inhibitor with high affinity to integrin α
νβ
3 receptor by molecular docking technique. cRGD molecular library was built and an optimal structure of cRGD peptide with the lowest score that was Cys-Arg-Gly-Asp-(D)Ser-Cys was screened out using the function of DOCK procedure of the V-life software. Based on the moiety a dimer linked by Tyr-(D)Ser-Lys-(D)Ser-Ser and with a side chain Gly-Gly-(D)Ala-Gly on Lys was synthesisized and
99Tc
m-cRGD dimer was prepared. Its radiolabeled efficiency, stability, water soluble and affinity
in vitro were evaluated. Under the reaction condition of room temperature, 1 g/L SnCl
2•2H
2O and the 30 min of reaction time, labeling efficiency reachs (87.42±3.21)%. After Sephadex G10 purification, the radiochemical purity is no less than 95%. In both mediums of saline and fresh human serum, the radiochemical purity keeps high stability in room temperature and 37℃.Then the equilibrium dissociation constant(
Kd) on U87 human glioma cells was determined. After the reconstruction of the cRGD dimer, it possesses higher water-soluble and affinity, octanol-water partition coefficient lg P value is -1.96±0.01 and
Kd value is (0.089±0.052)×10
-9 mol/L. cRGD peptide screened by computer-aided drug design (CADD) system can bind to integrin α
νβ
3 specifically, and be a promising radiotracer for integrin α
νβ
3-positive tumors imaging.
