    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Serum stability and in vivo biodistribution of both A and B isomers of the 2-(p-isothiocyanatobenzyl) (p-SCN-Bz)-cyclohexyldiethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid ligand (CHX-DTPA), a recently developed backbone-substituted derivative of DTPA, were evaluated and compared to those of 2-(p-SCN-Bz)-6-methyl-DTPA (1B4M-DTPA) and 2-(p-SCN-Bz)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane tetra-acetic acid (2B-DOTA). METHODS: Stability of 88Y-labeled ligands (0.1 microM) was evaluated in serum for up to 17 days. For biodistribution, ligands were conjugated to monoclonal antibody (Mab) B3, a murine IgG1k, and labeled with 88Y at 0.1-0.3 mCi/mg. Nontumor-bearing nude mice were injected intravenously with 1-2 microCi/4-10 micrograms of 88Y-labeled B3-conjugates and killed at 6 hr and daily up to 168 hr postinjection. Indium-111-(1B4M)-B3 was co-injected in all mice as internal control. RESULTS: Serum stability of 88Y-DOTA failed to show any significant release of activity, whereas pseudo-first-order dissociation rate constants of 3.97 x 10(-3), 2.54 x 10(-3) and 1.46 x 10(-2) (day-1) were calculated for 88Y-1B4M, 88Y-CHX-A and 88Y-CHX-B, respectively. Accordingly, cortical bone uptake of 88Y was significantly higher for all DTPA-derivative chelates than for DOTA. CONCLUSIONS: While none of the DTPA-derivative chelates could challenge DOTA in its ability to hold the radioytrium, significant differences were observed in the kinetic inertness of the A and B isomers of CHX, indicating that the CHX-B ligand is not as suitable for 90Y-labeling of Mabs.
