Preclinical evaluation of 86Y-labeled inhibitors of prostate-specific membrane antigen for dosimetry estimates.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

(86)Y (half-life = 14.74 h, 33% β(+)) is within an emerging class of positron-emitting isotopes with relatively long physical half-lives that enables extended imaging of biologic processes. We report the synthesis and evaluation of 3 low-molecular-weight compounds labeled with (86)Y for imaging the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) using PET. Impetus for the study derives from the need to perform dosimetry estimates for the corresponding (90)Y-labeled radiotherapeutics.

Methods

Multistep syntheses were used in preparing (86)Y- 4: - 6: PSMA inhibition constants were evaluated by competitive binding assay. In vivo characterization using tumor-bearing male mice was performed by PET/CT for (86)Y- 4: - 6: and by biodistribution studies of (86)Y- 4: and (86)Y- 6
