ABSTRACT
Radionuclide therapy employing alpha emitters holds great potential for personalized cancer treatment. However, certain challenges remain when designing alpha radiopharmaceuticals, including the lack of stability of used radioconjugates due to nuclear decay events. In this work, ultrasmall silver telluride nanoparticles with a core diameter of 2.1 nm were prepared and radiolabeled with lead-212 using a chelator-free method with a radiolabeling efficiency of 75%. The results from the in vitro radiochemical stability assay indicated a very high retention of bismuth-212 despite the internal conversion effects originating from the decay of 212Pb. To further evaluate the potential of the nanoparticles, they were radiolabeled with indium-111, and their cell uptake and subcellular distribution were determined in 2D U87 cells, showing accumulation in the nucleus. Although not intentional, it was observed that the indium-111-radiolabeled nanoparticles induced efficient tumor cell killing, which was attributed to the Auger electrons emitted by indium-111. Combining the results obtained in this work with other favorable properties such as fast renal clearance and the possibility to attach targeting vectors on the surface of the nanoparticles, all well-known from the literature, these ultra-small silver telluride nanoparticles provide exciting opportunities for the design of theragnostic radiopharmaceuticals.
