Design and in vitro Characterization of Highly Sst2-selective Somatostatin Antagonists Suitable for Radio-Targeting
Radiolabeled sst 2 and sst 3 antagonists are better candidates for tumor targeting than agonists with comparable binding characteristics. 1 Because the majority of neuroendocrine tumors express sst 2 , we used the known antagonists Acetyl-pNO 2 Phe 2 -c[ d Cys 3 -Tyr 7 - d Trp 8 -Lys 9 -Thr 10 -Cys...

had the highest sst
2
binding affinity and selectivity. All of the analogues tested kept their sst
2
antagonistic properties (i.e. did not affect calcium release
in vitro
and competitively antagonized the agonistic effect of [Tyr
3
]-octreotide). Moreover, in an immunofluorescence-based internalization assay, the new analogues prevented sst
2
internalization induced by the sst
2
agonist [Tyr
3
]-octreotide, without being active by themselves. In conclusion, several analogues (in particular

and

) have outstanding sst
2
binding and functional antagonistic properties and, because of their DOTA moiety, are excellent candidates for
in vivo
targeting of sst

-expressing cancers. |
