Three different polyaminocarboxylate-based bifunctional NE3TA (7-[2-[carboxymethyl)amino]ethyl]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4-diacetic acid) chelating agents were synthesized for potential use in copper 64-PET imaging applications. The bifunctional chelates were comparatively evaluated using transferrin (TO as a model targeting vector that binds to the transferrin receptor overexpressed in many different cancer cells. The transfertin conjugates conjugates of the NE3TA-based bifunctional chelates were evaluated for radiolabeling with Cu-64. 6 In vitro stability and cellular uptake of Cu-64-radiolabeled conjugates were evaluated in human serum and prostate (PC-3) cancer cells, respectively. Among the three NE3TA-Tf conjugates tested, N-NE3TA-Tf was identified as the best conjugate for radiolabeling with Cu-64.N-NE3TA-Tf rapidly bound to Cu-64 (>98% radiolabeling efficiency, 1 min, RT), and Cu-64-N-NE3TA-Tf remained stable in human serum for 2 days and demonstrated high uptake in PC-3 cancer cells. Cu-64-N-NE3TA-Tf was shown to have rapid blood clearance and increasing tumor uptake in PC-3 tumor bearing mice over a 24 h period. This bifunctional chelate presents highly efficient chelation chemistry with Cu-64 under mild condition that can be applied for radiolabeling of various tumor-specific biomolecules with Cu-64 for potential use in PET imaging applications.
