The palliation of pain due to bone metastases using targeted compounds containing beta-emitters such as rhenium-188 (Re-188) is an accepted and effective form of treatment. Here, we describe the efficient synthesis and preclinical evaluation of Re-188(CO)(3)-dipicolylamine(DPA)-alendronate, a novel bifunctional bisphosphonate for the palliative treatment of bone metastases. Re-188(CO)(3)-DPA-alenclronate can be easily synthesized with high specific activities and yields (18.8 GBq/mg, radiochemical yield >= 96%) in two steps using kit-based methodology, and in contrast with the clinically approved bisphosphonate Re-186/188-HEDP, it forms inert, single species that have been well-characterized. In vivo imaging and biodistribution studies demonstrate that Re-188(CO)(3)-DPA-alendronate is superior to Re-188-HEDP in targeting and accumulating in areas of high metabolic bone activity while having low soft-tissue uptake. In addition to these studies, a simple and convenient new method for purifying its precursor, fac-[Re-188(CO)(3)(H2O)(3)](+), is described.
