Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) is a Tc-99m-labeled dimeric cyclic RGD peptide with increased receptor binding affinity and improved kinetics for in vivo imaging of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) expression in nude mouse model. To accelerate its clinical translation, we reported here the evaluation of the kit-formulated Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) in healthy cynomolgus primates for its blood clearance kinetics, biodistribution, and radiation dosimetry.Healthy cynomolgus primates (4.1 +/- 0.7 kg, n = 5) were anesthetized, and the venous blood samples were collected via a femoral vein catheter at various time points after injection of similar to 555 MBq of Tc-99m-3PRGD(2). Serial whole-body scans were performed with a dual-head single photon emission computed tomography system after administering similar to 555 MBq of Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) in the non-human primates, and the radiation dosimetry estimate was calculated.Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) could be easily obtained from freeze-dried kits with high radiochemical purity (> 95%) and high specific activity (similar to 5 Ci/mu mol). Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) had a rapid blood clearance with less than 1% of the initial radioactivity remaining in the blood circulation at 60 min postinjection. No adverse reactions were observed up to 4 weeks after the repeated dosing. The whole-body images exhibited high kidney uptake of Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) and high radioactivity accumulation in the bladder, demonstrating the rapid renal clearance of this tracer. The highest radiation doses of Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) were found in the kidneys (13.2 +/- 1.08 mu Gy/MBq) and the bladder wall (33.1 +/- 1.91 mu Gy/MBq).Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) can be readily available using the kit formulation. This tracer is safe and well tolerated, and no adverse events occurred in non-human primates. Further clinical testing and translation of Tc-99m-3PRGD(2) for noninvasive imaging of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) in humans are warranted.
