Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been proved as a specific target for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Recently, oxalyldiaminopropionic acid (ODAP)-Urea-based ligands showed the potential as a new scaffold for developing radiotracers to image PCa. In this study, we synthesized seven ODAP-Urea-Lys derivatives characterized with p-bromobenzyl group conjugated to lysine. The ligands showed medium-to-high potency, with Ki values ranging from 27.9 nM to 0.94 nM. The ligands could be efficiently radiolabeled with 68Ga, in high purity. Radioligands were stable and showed PSMA specific cellular uptake, in PSMA++ LNCaP cells and PSMA+ 22Rv1 cells over PSMA- PC3 cells. MicroPET imaging was performed in 22Rv1 tumor-bearing mice and 68Ga-ligand-1 showed the best characteristics among the seven ligands, with the highest tumor uptake (SUVmax: 0.56 ± 0.07). A biodistribution study was also performed. ODAP-Urea-Lys-p-bromobenzyl could be used to image prostate cancer in vivo, and the ligands could have high binding potency. The future investigation is still necessary to improve the tumor-specific uptake of this class of ligands and reducing the non-specific uptake in normal organs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008239 Lysine An essential amino acid. It is often added to animal feed. Enisyl,L-Lysine,Lysine Acetate,Lysine Hydrochloride,Acetate, Lysine,L Lysine
D008297 Male Males

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
D014508 Urea A compound formed in the liver from ammonia produced by the deamination of amino acids. It is the principal end product of protein catabolism and constitutes about one half of the total urinary solids. Basodexan,Carbamide,Carmol
