Zusammenfassung: | This invention relates to a new radiopharmaceutical inhibitor of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (iPSMA) containing hydrazinonicotinamide (HYNIC) as a critical chemical group in increasing the molecule lipophilicity for coupling to hydrophobic sites of the PSMA, combined with conventional use of HYNIC as a chelating agent for 99mTc radiometal, where ethylenediamine diacetic acid (EDDA) is used to complete the radiometal coordination sphere. The new 99mTc-EDDA/HYNIC-iPSMA radiopharmaceutical detects, with high affinity and sensitivity in vivo, the PSMA protein overexpressed in prostate cancer cells by SPECT molecular imaging in nuclear medicine.The purpose of this invention is to provide a new specific radiopharmaceutical (molecular target radiopharmaceutical) of SPECT with high sensitivity for detection of tumors with PSMA over-expression. |
