Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been a key target for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer, particularly in high-grade, metastatic, and therapy-resistant tumors. This study presents a series of novel Ga- and Lu-labeled PSMA inhibitors, derived from the previously developed [Ga]Ga-Flu-1. We explored the impact of PEG chains, lipophilic macrocycles, and dimerization on their in vivo properties. The Ga- and Lu-labeled inhibitors were assessed for biodistribution and tumor targeting in PC3-PIP tumor xenografts, leading to the identification of several promising candidates based on imaging and tumor-specific uptake. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging revealed that the poly(ethylene glycol)-modified [Ga]Ga-BisPSMA-P4 demonstrated rapid tumor penetration and excellent tumor-to-background contrast. In comparative biodistribution studies, the naphthalene ring-modified [Ga]Ga-BisPSMA-Nph-P4 showed higher tumor uptake (∼60% ID/g at 1 h postinjection) and rapid renal clearance (∼25% ID/g at 2 h postinjection). Additionally, [Lu]Lu-BisPSMA-Nph-P4 displayed superior retention, with significant uptake on day 7, highlighting its potential as a novel PSMA inhibitor for prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.
前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)一直是诊断和治疗前列腺癌的关键靶点,特别是在高级别、转移性和治疗抵抗性肿瘤中。本研究展示了一系列新型的镓和钇标记的PSMA抑制剂,它们衍生自先前开发的[Ga]Ga-Flu-1。我们探究了聚乙二醇链、亲脂性大环以及二聚化对其体内性质的影响。对镓和钇标记的抑制剂在PC3-PIP肿瘤异种移植模型中进行生物分布和肿瘤靶向评估,基于成像和肿瘤特异性摄取鉴定出了几个有前景的候选物。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)成像显示,聚乙二醇修饰的[Ga]Ga-BisPSMA-P4表现出快速的肿瘤渗透和出色的肿瘤与背景对比度。在比较生物分布研究中,萘环修饰的[Ga]Ga-BisPSMA-Nph-P4显示出更高的肿瘤摄取(注射后1小时约为60% ID/g)和快速的肾脏清除(注射后2小时约为25% ID/g)。此外,[Lu]Lu-BisPSMA-Nph-P4表现出优异的滞留性,在第7天有显著摄取,突出了其作为新型PSMA抑制剂用于前列腺癌诊断和治疗的潜力。
