Abstract:Arginine‐glycine‐aspartate (RGD) peptide binds to the integrin αvβ3, which plays a crucial role in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Previously developed 68Ga‐labeled cyclic RGD peptides are rapidly excreted from the circulatory system. In the present study, we developed a 68Ga‐labeled cyclic RGD peptide with a biphenyl group between the chelator and RGD peptide, i.e., 68Ga‐NOTA‐biphenyl‐c(RGDyK). Then, we performed the comparison with the reference compound, i.e., 68Ga‐NOTA‐c(RGDyK). 68Ga‐NOTA‐biphenyl‐c(RGD… Show more
