Two potent SP1-7 peptidomimetics have been successfully radiolabeled via [11C]CO2-fixation with excellent yields, purity, and molar activity. l-[11C]SP1-7-peptidomimetic exhibited promising ex vivo biodistribution profile. Metabolite analysis showed that l-[11C]SP1-7-peptidomimetic is stable in brain and spinal cord, whereas rapid metabolic degradation occurs in rat plasma. Metabolic stability can be significantly improved by substituting l-Phe for d-Phe, preserving 70% more of intact tracer and resulting in better brain and spinal cord tracer retention. Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning confirmed moderate brain (1.5 SUV; peak at 3 min) and spinal cord (1.0 SUV; peak at 10 min) uptake for l- and d-[11C]SP1-7-peptidomimetic. A slight decrease in SUV value was observed after pretreatment with natural peptide SP1-7 in spinal cord for l-[11C]SP1-7-peptidomimetic. On the contrary, blocking using cold analogues of l- and d-[11C]tracers did not reduce the tracers' brain and spinal cord exposure. In summary, PET scanning of l- and d-[11C]SP1-7-peptidomimetics confirms rapid blood-brain barrier and blood-spinal-cord barrier penetration. Therefore, further validation of these two tracers targeting SP1-7 is needed in order to define a new PET imaging target and select its most appropriate radiopharmaceutical.
Metastin derivatives and use thereof
-
Paragraph 0250, (2016/08/23)
The invention provides stable metastin derivatives having excellent biological activities (a cancer metastasis suppressing activity, a cancer growth suppressing activity, etc.). By modifying the constituent amino acids of metastin with specific modifying groups, metastin derivatives having more improved blood stability, etc. than native metastin and showing excellent cancer metastasis suppressing activity or cancer growth suppressing activity have been found. Furthermore, it has been found that these metastin derivatives exhibit effects of suppressing gonadotropic hormone secretion, suppressing sex hormone secretion, etc., which are wholly different from the effects heretofore known.
