Introduction: Sigma receptors are overexpressed in a variety of human tumors, making them potential targets for radionuclide receptor therapy. We have previously synthesized, and evaluated I-131-labeled (+)-2-[4-(4-iodophenyl)piperidino]cyclohexanol [(+)-[I-131]pIV], which has a high affinity for sigma receptors. Therefore, (+)-[I-131]pIV significantly inhibited tumor cell proliferation in tumor-bearing mice. In the present study, we report the synthesis and the in vitro and in vivo characterization of (+)-[At-211]pAtV, an At-211-labeled sigma receptor ligand, that has potential use in alpha-radionuclide receptor therapy.Methods: The radiolabeled sigma receptor ligand (+)-,[At-211]pAtV was prepared using a standard halogenation reaction generating a 91% radiochemical yield with 98% purity after HPLC purification. The partition coefficient of (+)[At-211]pAtV was measured. Cellular uptake experiments and in vivo biodistribution experiments were performed using a mixed solution of (+)-[At-211]pAtV and (+)-[I-125]pIV; the human prostate cancer cell line DU-145, which expresses high levels of the sigma receptors, and DU-145 tumor-bearing mice.Results: The lipophilicity of (+)-[At-211]pAtV was similar to that of (+)-[I-125]pIV. DU-145 cellular uptake and the biodistribution patterns in DU-145 tumor-bearing mice at 1 h post-injection were also similar between (+)[At-221]pAtV and (+)-[I-125]pIV. Namely, (+)[At-211]pAtV demonstrated high uptake and retention in tumor via binding to sigma receptors.Conclusion: These results indicate that (+)[At-221]pAtV could function as an new agent for alpha-radionuclide receptor therapy.
