68Ga-labeled NOTA-chelated PSMA-targeted imaging and therapeutic agents
PSMA-targeted PET/SPECT agents for imaging PSMA-positive cancer and or tumor neovasculature and PSMA-targeted radiotherapeutic agent for the treatment of PSMA-positive cancer or tumor neovasculature are disclosed. Methods of imaging PSMA expressing tumors, or cells and kits also are disclosed.
1. A compound having the following chemical structure:
and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
2. A method for imaging one or more prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) tumors, or cells the method comprising contacting the one or more tumors, or cells, with an effective amount of a compound having the following chemical structure and making an image:
and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the imaging comprises positron emission tomography (PET).
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the imaging comprises single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more PSMA-expressing tumors or cells is selected from the group consisting of: a prostate tumor or cell, a metastasized prostate tumor or cell, a lung tumor or cell, a renal tumor or cell, a glioblastoma, a pancreatic tumor or cell, a bladder tumor or cell, a sarcoma, a melanoma, a breast tumor or cell, a colon tumor or cell, a germ cell, a pheochromocytoma, an esophageal tumor or cell, a stomach tumor or cell, and combinations thereof.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more PSMA-expressing tumors or cells is a prostate tumor or cell.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more PSMA-expressing tumors or cells is in vitro, in vivo or ex-vivo.
8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more PSMA-expressing tumors or cells is present in a subject.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the compound comprising the radioactive metal suitable for imaging is cleared from the tumor or cell in the subject.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the compound comprising the radioactive metal suitable for imaging is cleared more rapidly from a subject's kidneys than from a tumor of the subject.
11. The method of claim 2 , wherein the compound comprising the radioactive metal suitable for imaging substantially localizes to the tumor or cell within about 60 minutes of administration.
12. A kit comprising a compound according to claim 1 .
