A (99m)Tc-labeled insulin analogue was synthesized through a direct labeling method in which the (99m)Tc(CO)(3) core was combined with a protected insulin derivative (9) bearing a M(I) chelate linked to the first amino acid of the B-chain (B1). Regioselective labeling was achieved by careful control over the pH and the reaction time. Following a TFA-anisole mediated deprotection step (decay-corrected yield of 30 +/- 11%, n = 4), the identity of the final (99m)Tc-labeled product was confirmed by HPLC. Displacement of (125)I-insulin from the insulin receptor (IR) by the Re analogue 6 was similar to that of native insulin (17.8 nM vs 11.7 nM, respectively). The extent of autophosphorylation and Akt activation, as indicated by production of phospho-Akt (pAkt), showed no statistical difference between 6 and native insulin in both assays. These results support the use of the reported (99m)Tc-insulin derivative as a tracer for studying insulin biochemistry in vivo.
一种(99m)Tc 标记的胰岛素类似物通过直接标记方法合成,其中 (99m)Tc(CO)(3) 核心与带有 M(I)螯合物的保护胰岛素衍生物(9)结合,该螯合物连接到 B 链的第一个氨基酸(B1)。通过仔细控制 pH 值和反应时间,可以实现区域选择性标记。在 TFA-茴香醚介导的脱保护步骤(校正后衰减的产率为 30 +/- 11%,n = 4)后,通过 HPLC 确认了最终(99m)Tc 标记产物的身份。Re 类似物 6 从胰岛素受体(IR)置换(125)I-胰岛素的能力与天然胰岛素相似(分别为 17.8 nM 和 11.7 nM)。在两种测定中,6 和天然胰岛素的自动磷酸化和 Akt 激活程度(如磷酸化 Akt(pAkt)的产生所示)没有统计学差异。这些结果支持使用报道的(99m)Tc 胰岛素衍生物作为示踪剂来研究体内胰岛素生物化学。
