 note = {Radiolabeled cyclic peptides containing the (Arg-Gly-Asp) RGD sequence for use in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, and targeted radionuclide therapy of cancer have been reported. In this study, RGD was used as a model carrier peptide for diagnosis and therapy of cancer. To evaluate the characteristics of radiohalogen-labeled peptides, several kinds of labeled RGD peptides [125I-c(RGDyK), 77Br-c(RGDyK), [125I]SIB-c(RGDfK), [77Br]SBrB-c(RGDfK), [125I]SIB-EG2-c(RGDfK), and [77Br]SBrB-EG2-c(RGDfK)] were designed, prepared, and evaluated. In these initial studies, 77Br (t1/2=57.0h) and 125I (t1/2=59.4d) were used because of their longer half-lives. Precursor peptides were synthesized using a standard 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-based solid-phase methodology. Radiolabeled peptides were prepared by chloramine-T method or conjugation of RGD peptides with [125I]N-succinimidyl 3-iodobenzoate ([125I]SIB) or [77Br]N-succinimidyl 3-bromobenzoate ([77Br]SBrB). Measurement of the partition coefficients, integrin binding assay, and biodistribution experiments in tumor-bearing mice were performed. 125I and 77Br labeling were successfully performed using similar methods, and in vitro characteristics and biodistributions were similar between the 125I-labeled and corresponding 77Br-labeled peptides. [125I]SIB- and [77Br]SBrB-conjugated RGD peptides showed higher partition coefficients, lower tumor uptakes, and higher intestinal uptake than 125I-c(RGDyK) and 77Br-c(RGDyK). [125I]SIB-EG2-c(RGDfK) and [77Br]SBrB-EG2-c(RGDfK), which possess an ethylene glycol linker, decreased lipophilicity and uptake in intestine compared with [125I]SIB-c(RGDfK) and [77Br]SBrB-c(RGDfK), which possess no linker. However, the improvement in biodistribution of [125I]SIB-EG2-c(RGDfK) and [77Br]SBrB-EG2-c(RGDfK)] was insufficient. In conclusion, directly radiohalogenated c(RGDyK) peptides are potentially more useful for tumor imaging and therapy than indirectly radiohalogenated ones. © 2018 The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan., 金沢大学疾患モデル総合研究センター},
