“…Previously, we reported a PSMA targeting imaging agent, [ 68 Ga]Ga-P16-093 ([ 68 Ga]Ga-HBED-CC-Gly- O -(methylcarboxy)-Tyr-Phe-Lys-NH-CO-NH-Glu) (Figure ). ,,, As a close analog of [ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, , [ 68 Ga]Ga-P16-093 is also an excellent PSMA-targeting PET imaging agent, which is currently under phase II clinical trial for diagnosis and monitoring of patients with prostate cancer. − ,,, The stability constant of Ga(III)-HBED is excellent (log K d = 38.5); − however, the stability of the Lu(III)-HBED complex is much weaker (log K d = 21) . For the development of a radionuclide therapeutic agent, it is necessary to replace the chelating group, HBED-CC, to a different group with stronger chelating capacity for Lu(III).…”
