Hypoxia imaging agents can selectively remain in hypoxic tissue, which can directly reflect the location and degree of hypoxia.
Synthesized a novel tumor hypoxia imaging probe [Tc]Tc(CO)-CPA-2-NIM and evaluated its biological behavior with the purpose to assess its possibility of becoming a qualified tumor hypoxia imaging agent.
Radiochemcial purity of [Tc]Tc(CO)-CPA-2-NIM was greater than 95% after HPLC purification. Lipophilicity coefficient of this complex was -1.74 ± 0.10 (n = 5, number of experiments), indicating it was a hydrophilic complex. cell experiments demonstrated that this complex has selectivity for hypoxia at oxygen concentrations < 10 ppm (parts per million). Biodistribution experiment in S180 tumor bearing mice showed that tumor uptake reached its highest at 2 h post-injection with mice tumor-to-muscle ratio.
Complex [Tc]Tc(CO)-CPA-2-NIM has the possibility of becoming a tumor hypoxia imaging agent.
缺氧成像剂可以选择性地保留在缺氧组织中,直接反映缺氧的位置和程度。
合成了一种新型肿瘤缺氧成像探针[Tc]Tc(CO)-CPA-2-NIM,并评估了其生物学行为,目的是评估其成为合格的肿瘤缺氧成像剂的可能性。
经 HPLC 纯化后,[Tc]Tc(CO)-CPA-2-NIM 的放射化学纯度大于 95%。该配合物的亲脂性系数为-1.74±0.10(n=5,实验次数),表明它是一种亲水性配合物。细胞实验表明,该配合物在氧浓度<10ppm(百万分率)时对缺氧具有选择性。在 S180 荷瘤小鼠的生物分布实验中,注射后 2 小时肿瘤摄取达到最高,肿瘤与肌肉的比值。
配合物[Tc]Tc(CO)-CPA-2-NIM 有可能成为肿瘤缺氧成像剂。
