The synthesis of a 99mTc-labeled tetravalent targeting probe upon isonitrile coordination to 99mTcI for enhanced target uptake in saturable systems.


ABSTRACT: The presence of excess unlabeled ligands in the injectate hinders the target uptake of 99mTc-labeled targeting vectors. To address the issue, we previously developed a chemical design which provides a 99mTc-labeled trivalent RGD probe upon CN-βAla-Gly-Gly-c(RGDfK) (Lβ) coordination to [99mTc][Tc(CO)3]+ core at pH 6.0. In this study, we extended our coordination mediated synthesis of the trivalent RGD probe to that of a tetravalent one. Our initial attempts reacting Lβ with [99mTc][Tc(CO)3]+ core at pH 8.0 failed to provide [99mTc][Tc(CO)2(Lβ)4]+ due to the formation of multiple side products. A γ-aminobutylic acid (GABA) based
