A series of Gly-neurotensin(8-13) analogues modified at the N-terminus by acyclic tetraamines (Demotensin 1-4) were obtained by solid-phase peptide synthesis techniques. Strategic replacement of amino acids and/or reduction of sensitive peptide bonds were performed to enhance conjugate resistance against proteolytic enzymes. During 99mTc-labeling, single species radiopeptides, [99mTc]Demotensin 1-4, were easily obtained in high yields and typical specific activities of 1 Ci/micromol. Peptide conjugates displayed a high affinity binding to the human neurotensin subtype 1 receptor (NTS1-R) expressed in colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 or WiDr cells and/or in human tumor sections. [99mTc]Demotensin 1-4 internalized very rapidly in HT-29 or WiDr cells by a NTS1-R-mediated process. [99mTc]Demotensin 3 and 4, which remained stable during 1 h incubation in murine plasma, were selectively studied in nude mice bearing human HT-29 and WiDr xenografts. After injection, [99mTc]Demotensin 3 and 4 effectively and specifically localized in the experimental tumors and were rapidly excreted via the kidneys into the urine, exhibiting overall biodistribution patterns favorable for NTS1-R-targeted tumor imaging in man.
