Computational studies and synthesis of 131iodine-labeled nocardiotide A analogs as a peptide-based theragnostic radiopharmaceutical ligand for cancer targeting SSTR2.


ABSTRACT: Radiolabeled peptides belong to a highly specific group of radiotracers used in oncology, particularly for diagnostics and cancer therapy. With the notable advantages of high binding affinity and selectivity to cancer cells, they have proven to be very useful in nuclear medicine. As a result, efforts have been focused on discovering new peptide sequences for radiopeptide preparation. Nocardiotide A, a cyclic hexapeptide comprising the amino acids cyclo-Trp-Ile-Trp-Leu-Val-Ala (cWIWLVA) isolated from Nocardiopsis sp., has shown significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells, rendering it a suitable candidate for the process. Therefore, the present study aimed to design a stable and effective radiopeptide by labeling nocardiotide A with iodine-131 (131I), ensuring that its a
