Abstract
A hybrid compound (DO3A-BP) featuring a radiometal bifunctional chelator (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N′,N″,N‴-tetraacetic acid, DOTA) and an osteoclast-targeting moiety (bisphosphonate) was designed and synthesized. The 111In-labeled complex of DO3A-BP showed significantly elevated uptake in osteoclasts compared to the undifferentiated adherent bone marrow derived cells. Biodistribution studies revealed a favorable tissue distribution profile in normal mice with high bone uptake and long retention, and low or negligible accumulation in non-target organs.
