This report describes biodistribution characteristics of three ternary ligand complexes [Tc-99m(SQ168)(tricine)(L)] (SQ168 = [2-[[[5-[carboonyl]-2-pyridinyl]hydrazono]methyl]-benzenesulfonic acid]-Glu-(cyclo{Lys-Arg-Gly-ASP-D-Phe})-cyclo{Lys-Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe}; L = TPPTS (trisodium triphenylphosphine-3,3',3"-trisulfonate), ISONIC (isonicotinic acid) and PDA (2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid)) in athymic nude mice bearing MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer xenografts. Ternary ligand complexes [Tc-99m(SQ168)(tricine)(L)] (L = TPPTS, ISONIC and PDA) were prepared and were analyzed by a reversed HPLC method. Surprisingly, coligands have little impact on log P values of their ternary ligand Tc-99m complexes even though HPLC retention times suggest that [Tc-99m(SQ168)(tricine)(PDA)] and [Tc-99m(SQ168)(tricine)(ISONIC)] are more hydrophilic than [Tc-99m(SQ168)(tricine)(TPPTS)]. The results from biodistribution studies indicated that excretion kinetics of the Tc-99m-labeled cyclic RGDfK dimer can be modified by the choice of coligand. The fact that all three radiotracers show high tumor uptake during the 2 h study period suggests that the coligand has minimal effect on the tumor targeting capability of the Tc-99m-labeled cyclic RGDfK dimer. Results from the blocking experiment suggest that the tumor localization of the Tc-99m-labeled cyclic RGDfK dimer is integrin alpha(v)beta(3)-mediated. On the basis of their liver uptake and tumor/liver ratios, we believe that PDA has the advantage over TPPTS and ISONIC for the Tc-99m-labeling of HYNIC-biomolecule conjugates.
