A comparative study of trans- and cis-isomers of a bone-seeking agent, DO2A2P
2015
The macrocyclic bone-seeking agent, DO2A2P, bears a cyclen core and two pairs of peripheral phosphonate and carboxylate groups. The geometric disposition of the peripheral functionalities gives arise to a pair of geometric isomers: cis-DO2A2P and trans-DO2A2P. In order to compare the biological behavior of the isomer pair, cis-DO2A2P was synthesized. Both isomers were successfully radiolabeled with 177Lu, which might potentiate their applications in both radiotherapy and imaging of bone diseases. Through a set of biological assays including the hydroxyapatite binding, in vitro stability, and in vivo distribution, we demonstrated that the geometric pair of DO2A2P had virtually identical biological properties.
