A New Biotin Derivative-DOTA Conjugate as a Candidate for Pretargeted Diagnosis and Therapy of Tumors

摘要

The synthesis of a new biotin derivative, the (CO) reduced N-aminohexyl biotinamido derivative, designed to be serum biotinidase resistant, and its conjugation to the chelator DOTA through an amide bond at one of the four carboxymethyl chains are described. The ~(90)Y-labeled conjugate was able to bind avidin at different Av/conjugate molar ratios with good results. The preclinical results indicate that this new biotin-DOTA conjugate is a good candidate for pretargeted diagnosis and therapy of tumors.
