Abstract

We report a practical and high-yield synthesis of a bimodal bifunctional ligand 3p-C-NETA-NCS containing the isothiocyanate group for conjugation to a tumor targeting antibody. 3p-C-NETA-NCS was conjugated to a tumor-targeting antibody, trastuzumab, and the corresponding 3p-C-NETA-trastuzumab conjugate was evaluated and compared to trastuzumab conjugates of the known bifunctional ligands C-DOTA, C-DTPA, and 3p-C-DEPA for radiolabeling kinetics with (90)Y and (177)Lu. 3p-C-NETA-trastuzumab conjugate exhibited extremely rapid complexation kinetics with (90)Y and (177)Lu. (90)Y-3p-C-NETA-trastuzumab and (177)Lu-3p-C-NETA-trastuzumab conjugates were stable in human serum for 2 weeks. A pilot biodistribution study was conducted to evaluate in vivo stability and tumor targeting of (177)Lu-radiolabeled trastuzumab conjugate using nude mice bearing ZR-75-1 human breast cancer. (177)Lu-3p-C-NETA-trastuzumab conjugate displayed low radioactivity level at blood (1.6%), low organ uptake (<2.2%), and high tumor-to-blood ratio (6.4) at 120 h. 3p-C-NETA possesses favorable in vitro and in vivo profiles and is an excellent bifunctional chelator that can be used for targeted RIT applications using (90)Y and (177)Lu and has the potential to replace DOTA and DTPA analogues in current clinical use.
