Radioisotopes of arsenic are of considerable interest to the field of nuclear medicine with unique nuclear and chemical properties making them well-suited for use in novel theranostic radiopharmaceuticals. However, progress must still be made in the production of isotopically pure radioarsenic and in its stable conjugation to biological targeting vectors. This work presents the production and irradiation of isotopically enriched (72)Ge(m) discs in an irrigation-cooled target system allowing for the production of isotopically pure (72)As with capability on the order of 10 GBq. A radiochemical separation procedure isolated the reactive trivalent radioarsenic in a small volume buffered aqueous solution, while reclaiming (72)Ge target material. The direct thiol-labeling of a monoclonal antibody resulted in a conjugate exhibiting exceptionally poor in vivo stability in a mouse model. This prompted further investigations to alternative radioarsenic labeling strategies, including the labeling of the dithiol-containing chelator dihydrolipoic acid, and thiol-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-SH). Radioarsenic-labeled MSN-SH showed exceptional in vivo stability toward dearsenylation.
砷的放射性同位素在核医学领域备受关注,其独特的核性质和化学性质使其非常适合用于新型治疗诊断放射性药物。然而,在生产同位素纯的放射性砷及其与生物靶向载体的稳定偶联方面仍需取得进展。这项工作展示了在灌溉冷却靶系统中对同位素富集的(72)Ge(m)圆盘进行生产和辐照,从而能够生产出同位素纯的(72)As,产量约为10 GBq。一种放射化学分离程序在小体积缓冲水溶液中分离出了具有反应活性的三价放射性砷,同时回收了(72)Ge靶材料。单克隆抗体的直接硫醇标记导致偶联物在小鼠模型中表现出异常差的体内稳定性。这促使人们进一步研究替代的放射性砷标记策略,包括对含二硫醇的螯合剂二氢硫辛酸和硫醇修饰的介孔二氧化硅纳米颗粒(MSN-SH)进行标记。放射性砷标记的MSN-SH在体内对脱砷表现出卓越的稳定性。
