Radioisotope-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET tracers have gained popularity in diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa). This study aimed to improve the affinity and tumor-targeting capabilities of new PSMA tracers by increasing the number of pharmacophores that specifically bind to PSMA. Using biphenyl as a core scaffold, we investigated the relationship among spacer segments, affinity, and pharmacokinetic properties. In preclinical PET studies on mice with 22Rv1 tumors, compared with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 (SUVmax = 3.37), [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-D5 (Ki = 0.15) showed higher tumor uptake (SUVmax = 3.51) and lower renal uptake (T/K = 1.84). In the first-in-human study, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-D5 effectively detected small PCa-associated lesions and distant metastases. The advantages of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-D5 include high tumor uptake, straightforward synthesis, and labeling, making it a promising PSMA PET tracer. Furthermore, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-D5 contains a DOTA chelator, allowing convenient labeling with therapeutic radionuclides such as 177Lu and 225Ac, providing the potential for targeted radioligand therapy in PCa.

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.

D049268 Positron-Emission Tomography An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower.
