Strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) is a straightforward and multipurpose conjugation strategy. The use of SPAAC to link different functional elements to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands would facilitate the development of a modular platform for PSMA-targeted imaging and therapy of prostate cancer (PCa). As a first proof of concept for the SPAAC chemistry platform, we synthesized and characterized four dual-labeled PSMA ligands for intraoperative radiodetection and fluorescence imaging of PCa. Ligands were synthesized using solid-phase chemistry and contained a chelator for In or Tc labeling. The fluorophore IRDye800CW was conjugated using SPAAC chemistry or conventional -hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-ester coupling. Log values were measured and PSMA specificity of these ligands was determined in LS174T-PSMA cells. Tumor targeting was evaluated in BALB/c nude mice with subcutaneous LS174T-PSMA and LS174T wild-type tumors using μSPECT/CT imaging, fluorescence imaging, and biodistribution studies. SPAAC chemistry increased the lipophilicity of the ligands (log range: -2.4 to -4.4). , SPAAC chemistry ligands showed high and specific accumulation in s.c. LS174T-PSMA tumors up to 24 h after injection, enabling clear visualization using μSPECT/CT and fluorescence imaging. Overall, no significant differences between the SPAAC chemistry ligands and their NHS-based counterparts were found (2 h p.i., > 0.05), while In-labeled ligands outperformed the Tc ligands. Here, we demonstrate that our newly developed SPAAC-based PSMA ligands show high PSMA-specific tumor targeting. The use of click chemistry in PSMA ligand development opens up the opportunity for fast, efficient, and versatile conjugations of multiple imaging moieties and/or drugs.
应变促进的叠氮化物-炔烃环加成(SPAAC)是一种简单而多用途的偶联策略。将 SPAAC 用于将不同的功能元件连接到前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)配体上,将有助于开发用于 PSMA 靶向成像和前列腺癌(PCa)治疗的模块化平台。作为 SPAAC 化学平台的第一个概念验证,我们合成并表征了用于 PCa 术中放射性检测和荧光成像的四种双标记 PSMA 配体。配体使用固相化学合成,并包含用于 In 或 Tc 标记的螯合剂。荧光团 IRDye800CW 通过 SPAAC 化学或传统的 -羟基琥珀酰亚胺(NHS)酯偶联进行共轭。测量了 LogP 值,并在 LS174T-PSMA 细胞中确定了这些配体的 PSMA 特异性。使用 μSPECT/CT 成像、荧光成像和生物分布研究,在皮下 LS174T-PSMA 和 LS174T 野生型肿瘤的 BALB/c 裸鼠中评估了肿瘤靶向性。SPAAC 化学增加了配体的亲脂性(LogP 值范围:-2.4 至-4.4)。与 NHS 为基础的配体相比,SPAAC 化学配体在注射后 24 小时内显示出对 s.c. LS174T-PSMA 肿瘤的高特异性积累,可通过 μSPECT/CT 和荧光成像清晰显示。总体而言,SPAAC 化学配体与 NHS 为基础的配体之间未发现显着差异(2 h p.i., > 0.05),而 In 标记的配体优于 Tc 标记的配体。在这里,我们证明了我们新开发的基于 SPAAC 的 PSMA 配体具有高 PSMA 特异性肿瘤靶向性。点击化学在 PSMA 配体开发中的应用为多种成像部分和/或药物的快速、高效和多功能偶联开辟了机会。
