Purpose: The therapeutic efficacy of a unique melanoma-targeting peptide conjugated with an in vivo generated a-particle-emitting radionuclide was evaluated in the B16/F1 mouse melanoma animal model. alpha-Radiation is densely ionizing, resulting in high concentrations of destructive radicals and irreparable DNA double-strand breaks. This high linear energy transfer overcomes radiation-resistant tumor cells and oxygen effects resulting in potentially high therapeutic indices in tumors such as melanoma.Experimental Design: The melanoma targeting peptide, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclodecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH, was radiolabeled with Pb-212, the parent of Bi-212, which decays via alpha and beta decay. Biodistribution and therapy studies were done in the B16/F1 melanoma-bearing C57 mouse flank tumor model.Results: Pb-212[DOTA]-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited rapid tumor uptake and extended retention coupled with rapid whole body disappearance. Radiation dose delivered to the tumor was estimated to be 61 cGy/mu Ci Pb-212 administered. Treatment of melanoma-bearing mice with 50, 100, and 200 mu Ci of Pb-212[DOTA]-Re(Arg(11)) CCMSH extended their mean survival to 22, 28, and 49.8 days, respectively, compared with the 14.6-day mean survival of the placebo control group. Forty-five percent of the mice receiving 200 mu Ci doses survived the study disease-free.Conclusions: Treatment of B16/F1 murine melanoma-bearing mice with Pb-212[DOTA]-Re(Arg(11)) CCMSH significantly decreased tumor growth rates resulting in extended mean survival times, and in many cases, complete remission of disease. Pb-212-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH seems to be a very promising radiopharmaceutical for targeted radionuclide therapy of melanoma.
