A folate-receptor-targeted Tc-99m-radiopharmaceutical, [Tc-99m]Tc (CO)(3)DTPA-folate, was prepared by heating [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3)(H2O)(3)(+) in an aqueous solution of the previously reported DTPA-folate conjugate. The radiotracer was HPLC purified (> 98% radiochemical purity) and evaluated in vitro and in vivo as an agent for targeting folate-receptor-positive cells, [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3)DTPA-folate experienced high, folate-receptor-specific uptake in human KB tumor cells. Intravenous administration of [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3)DTPA-folate to athymic mice bearing KB cell tumor xenografts resulted in Tc-99m tumor uptake of 1.8 +/- 0.5 and 3.3 +/- 0.2%ID/g (n = 3) at 30 minutes and 4 hours post-injection, respectively. Tumor uptake was reduced when folic acid was co-administered with the intravenous [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3)DTPA-folate. consistent with radiopharmaceutical localization being mediated by the folate receptor.
