ABSTRACT

Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) has long been a mainstay in clinical nuclear medicine, primarily monitoring biological processes in the heart, kidney, liver, and brain. More recently, Tc-99m chelates have been used as the reporter in targeted nuclear medicine probes that monitor changes in specific protein expression products. The strengths remain the inexpensive source of Tc-99m from the Mo-99/Tc-99m generator, its rich chemistry, high-yield kit formulation, and its widespread availability. Hardware and software advances, such as OSEM reconstructions with scatter and attenuation corrections, have led to quantitation of the injected radioactivity in terms of kBq/cm.

ABSTRACT

The reaction of the Tc(I) complex [Tc(NO)Cl2(HOMe)(PPh3)2] with stoichiometric amounts of 2-mercatopyridine and a proton scavenger yields [Tc(NO)Cl(Spy)(PPh3)2] or [Tc(NO)(Spy)2(PPh3)], depending upon quantities of ligands employed. These two complexes have been structurally characterized. The small bite angles of the bidentate mercaptopyridine ligands cause significant deviation from octahedral coordination geometry.

ABSTRACT

Evaluation of [99mTc]oxotechnetium(V) complexes of the amine-amide-dithiol (AADT) chelates containing tertiary amine substituents as small-molecule probes for the diagnostic imaging of metastatic melanoma has shown that technetium-99m-labeled AADT-(CH2)2-NEt2 (99mTc-1) has the highest tumor uptake and other favorable biological properties. We have, therefore, assessed this agent in a more realistic metastatic melanoma model in which, after i.v. tail injection, a highly invasive melanoma cell line, B16F10, forms pulmonary tumor nodules in normal C57BL6 mice. Small melanotic lesions develop in the lungs and, on histologic examination, appear as small black melanoma colonies, increasing in size and number with time after tumor cell injection. Groups of mice received tumor cell inocula of 2 x 10(5), 4 x 10(5), or 8 x 10(5) B16F10 cells; 14 days later, 2 hours after 99mTc-1 administration, lung uptake of 2.83 +/- 0.21%, 3.63 +/- 1.07%, and 4.92 +/- 1.61% injected dose per gram of tissue (% ID/g), respectively, was observed, compared with normal lung uptake of 2.13 +/- 0.2% ID/g (P < 0.05). Additionally, a higher level of 99mTc-1 accumulation was seen 17 days after tumor cell inoculation as the lung lesions grew. These in vivo studies coupled with additional in vitro and ex vivo assessment show that 99mTc-1 has high and specific uptake in melanoma metastases in lungs and can potentially follow the temporal growth of these tumors.

ABSTRACT

This study assessed the treatment with boron neutron capture synovectomy of synovitis in the antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) model. A boron compound, potassium dodecahydrododeca-borate (K(2)B(12)H(12)), was injected into stifle joints of 24 AIA and 12 normal rabbits and activated by neutron bombardment of the joint to achieve doses from 800 to 81,000 RBE-cGy. Synovial ablation in the AIA joint was accomplished at doses of 6,000 to 7,000 RBE-cGy with no adverse effects to skin or extracapsular tissues.

ABSTRACT

On the basis of the avid uptake of radioiodinated benzamides by melanoma cells, (99m)Tc complexes containing the structural elements of N-(dialkylaminoalkyl)benzamide pharmacophores have been synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo for melanoma uptake. One of the complexes Tc-12 containing the ligand 4-(S-benzoyl-2-thioacetyl-glycyl-glycylamido)-N-(2-diethylaminoethyl)benzamide (11) displayed the highest melanoma uptake. The 1-h melanoma uptake values and the corresponding blood counts indicate an interdependence of tumor uptake and bioavailability of the (99m)Tc complexes.

ABSTRACT

N-(2-Mercaptoethyl)picolylamine (MEPAH) was studied as a potentially biologically relevant ligand for the "fac-[M(CO)(3)](+)" core (M = Re, (99)Tc, (99m)Tc). To this end, the complex Re(CO)(3)(MEPA) was synthesized. The reaction of MEPAH with fac-[Re(CO)(3)(MeCN)(3)](+) took place over the course of seconds, showing the high affinity possessed by this ligand for the "fac-[Re(CO)(3)](+)" core. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study was performed confirming the nature of Re(CO)(3)(MEPA), a rare mononuclear rhenium(I) thiolate complex. Additional exploration into derivatization of the ligand backbone has afforded the analogous N-ethyl complex, Re(CO)(3)(MEPA-NEt). The high affinity of the ligand for the metal coupled with the ease of its derivatization implies that utilization of this ligand system for the purposes of (99m)Tc-radiopharmaceutical development is promising.

ABSTRACT

The reduction of ammonium pertechnetate with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm), and with diphenyl-2-pyridyl phosphine (Ph(2)Ppy), has been investigated. The neutral Tc(II) complex, trans-TcCl(2)(dppm)(2) (1), has been isolated from the reaction of (NH(4))[TcO(4)] with excess dppm in refluxing EtOH/HCl. Chemical oxidation with ferricinium hexafluorophosphate results in formation of the cationic Tc(III) analogue, trans-[TcCl(2)(dppm)(2)](PF(6)) (2). The dppm ligands adopt the chelating bonding mode in both complexes, resulting in strained four member metallocycles. With excess PhPpy, the reduction of (NH(4))[TcO(4)] in refluxing EtOH/HCl yields a complex with one chelating Ph(2)Ppy ligand and one unidentate Ph(2)Ppy ligand, mer-TcCl(3)(Ph(2)Ppy-P,N)(Ph(2)Ppy-P) (3). The cationic Tc(III) complexes, trans-[TcCl(2)(Ph(2)P(O)py-N,O)(2)](PF(6)) (4) and trans-[TcCl(2)(dppmO-P,O)(2)](PF(6)) (5) (Ph(2)P(O)py = diphenyl-2-pyridyl phosphine monoxide and dppmO = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane monoxide), have been isolated as byproducts from the reactions of (NH(4))[TcO(4)] with the corresponding phosphine. The products have been characterized in the solid state and in solution via a combination of single-crystal X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic techniques. The solution state spectroscopic results are consistent with the retention of the bonding modes revealed in the crystal structures.

ABSTRACT

A new route to low-valent technetium complexes containing multiple acetonitrile ligands has been developed. The reduction of TcCl(4)(PPh(3))(2) with zinc metal dust in acetonitrile results in the formation of [Tc(CH(3)CN)(4)(PPh(3))(2)][Zn(2)Cl(6)](1/2). The hexafluorophosphate salt of the analogous Tc(II) cation can be prepared via chemical oxidation of the Tc(I) species, and the Tc(I) cation can be regenerated via chemical reduction. The compounds have been characterized in the solid state via single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and in solution via a combination of spectroscopic techniques and cyclic voltammetry. The structural parameters found in the two complexes are similar to each other; however, the difference in oxidation state is reflected, as expected, in the spectroscopic results. The electrochemical data, obtained from cyclic voltammograms of Tc(CH(3)CN)(4)(PPh(3))(2)](PF(6))(n)() (n = 1,2), mirror the synthetic results in that both compounds possess a reversible redox couple at -0.55 V versus ferrocene, which has been assigned to the Tc(II)/Tc(I) couple.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Noninvasive monitoring of gene transfer will benefit basic research and patient care. Most gene-transfer imaging systems do not directly detect the gene of interest, and most do not exploit radiopharmaceuticals that have Food and Drug Administration approval for total-body use. (111)In-Octreotide is used clinically to locate tumors overexpressing primarily somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2). We report the in vitro and in vivo detection of SSTR2 chimeric gene transfer with this radiopharmaceutical. METHODS: Full-length SSTR2A was ligated into a vector downstream of a 5' Igkappa leader sequence and the hemagglutinin A (HA) sequence. The vector plus insert was then introduced into HT1080 cells. Igkappa and HA domain functions were confirmed by immunologic methods. Receptor binding was studied in transfected cells incubated with (111)In-octreotide with and without somatostatin-28. Mice bearing tumors produced by transfected cells were injected with (111)In-octreotide for biodistribution and imaging studies. RESULTS: Cell-membrane localization by the amino-terminal Igkappa domain was confirmed by immunofluorescence. The HA domain was identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunofluorescence, and Western blotting analysis with anti-HA antibodies. (111)In-Octreotide detected the SSTR2 portion of the fusion protein in vitro (receptor-binding assay) and in vivo (biodistribution studies and gamma-camera imaging). In addition, in vitro studies using either the anti-HA antibody or (111)In-octreotide correlated with biodistribution and imaging studies when cell clones expressing different levels of the fusion protein were tested. This approach may be feasible clinically because we were able to discern chimeric gene transfer in tumor-bearing animals with (111)In-octreotide at doses similar to those already used in humans. CONCLUSION: With this method it may be possible to monitor transfer of a gene of interest directly and noninvasively.

ABSTRACT

The reduction of perrhenate, molybdate and pertechnetate with 2-hydrazinopyridine dihydrochloride in methanol has led to the preparation of a class of complexes containing the {M(eta(1)-NNC(5)H(4)NH(x)())(eta(2)-HNNH(y)()C(5)H(4)N)} core, represented by [TcCl(3)(NNC(5)H(4)NH)(HNNC(5)H(4)N)] (2), [ReCl(3)(NNC(5)H(4)NH)(HNNC(5)H(4)N)] (3), and [MoCl(3)(NNC(5)H(4)NH)(HNNHC(5)H(4)N)] (6). The reaction of 3 with NEt(3) results in the formation of [HNEt(3)][[ReCl(3)(NNC(5)H(4)N)(HNNC(5)H(4)N)].H(2)O (4) by deprotonation of the pyridine nitrogen site. Similarly, the reduction of perrhenate with 2-hydrazino-2-imidazoline hydrobromide has led to the preparation of the analogous [ReCl(3)(NNC(3)H(4)N(2)H)(HNNHC(3)H(4)N(2)H)] (5). Reaction of 3 with pyridine-2-thiol and pyrimidine-2-thiol yields two structurally characterized derivatives with a modified {Re(eta(1)-NNC(5)H(4)N)(eta(2)-HNNC(5)H(4)N)} core, [Re(C(5)H(4)NS)(2)(NNC(5)H(4)N)(HNNC(5)H(4)N)] (8) and [Re(C(4)H(3)N(2)S)(2)(NNC(5)H(4)N)(HNNC(5)H(4)N)] (9), respectively. Reaction of 6 with pyrimidine-2-thiol led to the isolation of the analogous [Mo(C(4)H(3)N(2)S)(2)(NNC(5)H(4)N)(HNNHC(5)H(4)N)] (11) and the seven-coordinate monohydrazine core complex [Mo(C(4)H(3)N(2)S)(3)(NNC(5)H(4)N)].CH(2)Cl(2) (12). In similar fashion, the reaction of 2 with pyridine-2-thiol yielded a complex structurally analogous to 8, [Tc(C(5)H(4)NS)(2)(NNC(5)H(4)N)(HNNC(5)H(4)N)] (7).

Complexes 2 and 3 serve as models for the binding of Tc(V)-oxo and Re(V)-oxo species to hydrazinonicotinamide (HYNIC)-conjugated chemotactic peptides. Furthermore, since the use of the pyrimidinethiol coligand in the {(99m)Tc-HYNIC-peptide} radiochemical species results in favorable pharmacokinetics, the thiolate derivatives 8 and 9 provide models for possible modes of interaction of metal-hydrazine cores with coligands in the radiopharmaceutical reagents.

ABSTRACT

The organohydrazide chelate complexes M(III)(NNpy)(PPh(3))(2)Cl(2) (1, 3) (M = Re, Tc) have been synthesized using the organohydrazine 2-hydrazinopyridine. The chelated organohydrazide is a diazenido(1-) ligand that forms a five-membered ring with the metal center. An X-ray structural analysis of 1 indicates that there is a delocalized pi-system formed by the chelate ring. These octahedral, d(4) metal complexes have diamagnetic (1)H NMR spectra. Complex 1, C(41.50)H(34)Cl(2)N(3)O(0.5)P(2)Re, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr; with a = 10.5549(7) Å, b = 12.2699(8) Å, c = 16.8206(12) Å, alpha = 105.9050(10) degrees, beta = 95.8930(10) degrees, gamma = 111.0100(10) degrees, V = 1906.1(2) Å(3), Z = 2, and R = 0.0650 based on 5268 unique reflections. The FABMS+ in (p-nitrobenzyl alcohol) of 3 reveals a parent ion peak at m/z 799.2. The complex [Re(HNNpy)(NNpy)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)Cl](+)[Cl](-) (2) contains a chelated, neutral organodiazene ligand and a linear, diazenido(1-) ligand. The X-ray structural analysis of 2, C(26)H(30)Cl(2)N(6)P(2)Re, indicates a delocalized pi-system formed by the chelate ring. The (1)H NMR spectrum of 2 is not paramagnetically shifted. Complex 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2(1) with a = 17.383(4) Å, b = 13.967(3) Å, c = 12.002(2) Å, V = 2913.9(10) Å(3), Z = 4, and R = 0.0384 based on 3083 unique reflections.
