Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare in vitro and in vivo a novel DOTA-chelated bombesin (BN) analog of the amino acid sequence, QRLGNQWAVGHLM-CONH2 (BN[2–14]NH2), labeled with 90Y and 177Lu, for its potential use in targeted radiotherapy of tumors expressing gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) receptors. The same amino acid sequence, but with different chelator, referred as BN1.1 (Gly-Gly-Cys-Aca-QRLGNQWAVGHLM-CONH2), has already been studied and reported; however, the DOTA-chelated one, suitable for labeling with M+3 type radiometals, was not yet described.
