ABSTRACT
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) expresses CCK-2 receptors. (111)In-labeled DOTA-DGlu-Ala-Tyr-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH(2) (DOTA-MG11), DOTA-DAsp-Tyr-Nle-Gly-Trp-Nle-Asp-Phe-NH(2) (DOTA-CCK), and (99m)Tc-labeled N(4)-Gly-DGlu-(Glu)(5)-Ala-Tyr-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH(2) ((99m)Tc-Demogastrin 2) are analogs developed for CCK-2 receptor-targeted scintigraphy. All 3 radiolabeled analogs were selected on the basis of their high CCK-2 receptor affinity and their good in vitro serum stability, with in vitro serum t(1/2) values of several hours. Radiolabeling of DOTA-peptides with (111)In requires a heating procedure, typically in the range of 80 degrees -100 degrees C up to 30 min. Following this procedure with DOTA-MG11 resulted in a >98 % incorporation of (111)In, however, with a radiochemical purity (RCP) of <50 %. The decrease in RCP was found to be due to oxidation of the methionine residue in the molecule. Moreover, this oxidized compound lost its CCK-2 receptor affinity. Therefore, conditions during radiolabeling were optimised labeling of DOTA-MG11 and DOTA-CCK with (111)In involved 5 min heating at 80 degrees C and led to an incorporation of (111)In of >98 %. In addition, all analogs were radiolabeled in the presence of quenchers to prevent radiolysis and oxidation resulting in a RCP of >90 %. All 3 radiolabeled analogs were i.v. administered to 6 MTC patients radioactivity cleared rapidly by the kidneys, with no significant differences in the excretion pattern of the 3 radiotracers. All 3 radiolabeled analogs exhibited a low in vivo stability in patients, as revealed during analysis of blood samples, with the respective t(1/2) found in the order of minutes. In patient blood, the rank of radiopeptide in vivo stability was (99m)Tc-Demogastrin 2 (t(1/2) 10-15 min)>(111)In-DOTA-CCK (t(1/2) approximately 5-10 min)>(111)In-DOTA-MG11 (t(1/2)<5 min).
