Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp) and Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp), which have been developed as bone imaging agents, showed a high accumulation in bone and a rapid blood clearance in mice. However, peptides composed of D-amino acids are more stable in vivo than those composed of their L-equivalents. In this study, Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp) (n = 2, 5, 8, 11, or 14) were synthesized using the Fmoc-based solid-phase methodology and evaluated. In hydroxyapatite binding assay, binding of Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp) tended to increase with increasing length of the amino acid chain. Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp) and Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp) caused a high accumulation of radioactivity in the bones of the mice. However, the results for Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp) and Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp) were comparable. In urine analyses, the proportion of intact complex after injection of Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp) was significantly higher than that of Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp). Although Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp) was more stable than Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp), the properties of Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp) and Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp) as bone imaging agents may be comparable.
已被开发用作骨显像剂的Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp)和Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp)在小鼠体内显示出在骨中的高蓄积和快速的血液清除。然而,由D-氨基酸组成的肽在体内比由其L-对应物组成的肽更稳定。在本研究中,使用基于Fmoc的固相方法合成并评估了Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp)(n = 2、5、8、11或14)。在羟基磷灰石结合试验中,Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp)的结合倾向于随着氨基酸链长度的增加而增加。Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp)和Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp)在小鼠骨骼中引起了放射性的高蓄积。然而,Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp)和Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp)的结果相当。在尿液分析中,注射Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp)后完整复合物的比例明显高于Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp)。尽管Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp)比Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp)更稳定,但Ga-DOTA-(D-Asp)和Ga-DOTA-(L-Asp)作为骨显像剂的特性可能相当。
