Background:
Carbonic anhydrase-IX (CA-IX) is overexpressed in tumors due to hypoxic conditions and considered an attractive biomarker for tumor-targeting radioligands. The introduction of an albumin binder (ALB) to radioligands can delay their renal clearance, resulting in increased radioactivity delivered to tumors and decreased renal uptake of radioligands. In this study, we designed novel CA-IX-targeted trifunctional radioligands consisting of imidazothiadiazole sulfonamide (IS) as a CA-IX-targeted ligand, DOTA as a chelator with four free carboxylic groups, and lysine-conjugated 4-(p-iodophenyl)butyric acid (Lys-IPBA) as ALB, with IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB in a linear-chain arrangement and [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS in a branched-chain arrangement. Fundamental properties of IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB and [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS were evaluated by in vitro and in vivo assays.
Methods:
IS-DOTADG-ALB and DOTAGA-ALB-IS were synthesized and radiolabeled with [111In]InCl3. The stability of IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB and [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS was evaluated by HPLC analysis after incubation in murine plasma. A cell saturation binding assay using CA-IX-positive HT-29 cells and albumin-binding assay were performed for IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB and [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS to evaluate their capacity to bind CA-IX and albumin. Biodistribution assays of IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB and [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS were performed using HT-29 tumor-bearing mice to evaluate their pharmacokinetics.
Results:
IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB and [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS were successfully synthesized by ligand substitution reaction from their corresponding precursors. IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB and [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS exhibited similar stabilities in murine plasma and affinities to CA-IX, although the affinities to albumin were higher for [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS compared with IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB. In the biodistribution assays, [111In]In-DOTAGA-ALB-IS showed higher blood retention and tumor accumulation and lower renal uptake than IS-[111In]In-DOTADG-ALB, reflecting their albumin-binding affinities.
Conclusion:
These data suggest that the branched-chain arrangement of DOTAGA-ALB-IS may be useful for the design of CA-IX-targeted radioligands consisting of an IS ligand, DOTA, and Lys-IPBA.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
