The structurally novel bifunctional ligands C-NETA and C-NE3TA, each possessing both acyclic and macrocyclic moieties, were prepared and evaluated as potential chelates for radioimmunotherapy (RIT) and targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Heptadentate C-NE3TA was fortuitously discovered during the preparation of C-NETA. An optimized synthetic method to C-NETA and C-NE3TA including purification of the polar and tailing reaction intermediates, tert-butyl C-NETA (2) and tert-butyl C-NE3TA (3) using semiprep HPLC was developed. The new Gd(III) complexes of C-NETA and C-NE3TA were prepared as contrast enhancement agents for use in targeted MRI. The T-1 relaxivity data indicate that Gd(C-NETA) and Gd(C-NE3TA) possess higher relaxivity than Gd(C-DOTA), a bifunctional version of a commercially available MRI contrast agent; Gd(DOTA). C-NETA and C-NE3TA were radiolabeled with Lu-177, Y-90, Pb-203, Bi-205/6, and Gd-153; and in vitro stability of the radiolabeled corresponding complexes was assessed in human serum. The in vitro studies indicate that the evaluated radiolabeled complexes were stable in serum for I I days with the exception being the Ph-203 complexes of C-NETA and C-NE3TA, which dissociated in serum. C-NETA and C-NE3TA radiolabeled Lu-177, Y-90, or Gd-153 complexes were further evaluated for in vivo stability in athymic mice and possess excellent or acceptable in vivo biodistribution profile. Bi-205/6-C-NE3TA exhibited extremely rapid blood clearance and low radioactivity level at the normal organs, while Bi-205/6-C-NETA displayed low radioactivity level in the blood and all of the organs except for the kidney where relatively high renal uptake of radioactivity is observed. C-NETA and C-NE3TA were further modified for conjugation to the monoclonal antibody Trastuzumab.
