Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptor antagonists were synthesized and their ability to interact with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells determined. [125I] BW1023U90, bound with high affinity (Kd = 2 nM) to a single class of sites (Bmax = 55 fmol/mg protein) using SCLC cell line NCI-H345. [125I] BW1023U90 binding was time dependent and reversible even at 37 degrees C as the ligand was minimally internalized. Specific [125I] BW1023U90 binding was inhibited with high affinity by GRP as well as bombesin (BB) but not neuromedin B (NMB). BW1023U90 inhibited the ability of BB to elevate cytosolic Ca2+ and increase the growth of SCLC cells. A BW1023U90 analogue, BW2258U89 (10 micrograms/day, SC) slowed SCLC xenograft format on in nude mice and [125I] BW 1023U90 localized to SCLC tumors 1 h after injection into nude mice. BW2258U89 (4% by weight) was placed in microspheres and slowly released over a 3-week period in nude mice bearing SCLC xenografts. The microspheres containing BW2258U89 strongly inhibited SCLC growth in vivo. A radioimmunoassay was developed for the GRP receptor antagonists and the rabbit antiserum cross-reacted totally with BW2258U89 or BW1023U90. BW2258U89 immunoreactivity (5 nM) was detected in the plasma of nude mice containing the microspheres after 1 week. These data suggest that GRP receptor antagonists bind to receptors on SCLC tumors.
