Synthesis and Preclinical Evaluation of Radiolabeled [¹⁰³Ru]BOLD-100.

ABSTRACT: The first-in-class ruthenium-based chemotherapeutic agent BOLD-100 (formerly IT-139, NKP-1339, KP1339) is currently the subject of clinical evaluation for the treatment of gastric, pancreatic, colorectal and bile duct cancer. A radiolabeled version of the compound could present a helpful diagnostic tool. Thus, this study investigated the pharmacokinetics of BOLD-100 in more detail to facilitate the stratification of patients for the therapy. The synthesis of [¹⁰³Ru]BOLD-100, radiolabeled with carrier added (c.a.) ruthenium-103, was established and the product was characterized by HPLC and UV/Vis spectroscopy. In order to compare the radiolabeled and non-radioactive versions of BOLD-100, both complexes were fully evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The cytotoxicity of the compounds w
