ABSTRACT
Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) targeting oncoproteins facilitates the delivery of therapeutic radionuclides to tumor tissues with high precision. Herein, we developed 2 new radiopharmaceuticals, 4-131I-iodo- and 4-211At-astato-N-[4-(6-(isopropylamino)pyridine-4-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]-N-methylbenzamide (131I-IITM and 211At-AITM), targeting the ectopic metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) in melanomas for TRT studies. Methods:
131I-IITM and 211At-AITM were synthesized by reacting a stannyl precursor with 131I-NaI and 211At in the presence of an oxidizing agent. The therapeutic efficacy and safety of the 2 radiopharmaceuticals were investigated using mGluR1-expressing B16F10 melanoma cells and melanoma-bearing mice.Results:
131I-IITM and 211At-AITM were obtained with a radiochemical purity of greater than 99% and radiochemical yields of 42.7% ± 10.4% and 45.7% ± 6.5%, respectively, based on the total radioactivity of used radionuclides. 131I-IITM and 211At-AITM exhibited a maximum uptake of 4.66% ± 0.70 and 7.68% ± 0.71 percentage injected dose per gram (%ID/g) in the targeted melanomas, respectively, and were rapidly cleared from nontarget organs after intravenous injection. Both agents markedly inhibited melanoma growth compared with the controls (61.00% and 95.68%, respectively). In the melanoma model, considerably greater therapeutic efficacy with negligible toxicity was observed using 211At-AITM.Conclusion:
The nontoxic radiopharmaceuticals 131I-IITM and 211At-AITM are useful high-precision TRT agents that can be used to target the oncoprotein mGluR1 for melanoma therapy.Palavras-chave
