Abstract
This work reports the synthesis and preliminary biodistribution results of [131I]SIB-PEG4-CHC in tumor-bearing mice. The tributylstannyl precursor ATE-PEG4-CHC was synthesized by conjugation of ATE to amino pegylated colchicine NH2-PEG4-CHC. [131I]SIB-PEG4-CHC was radiosynthesized by electrophilic destannylation of the precursor with a yield of ~44%. The radiochemical purity (RCP) appeared to be >95% by a Sep-Pak cartridge purification. [131I]SIB-PEG4-CHC was lipophilic and was stable at room temperature. Biodistribution studies in tumor-bearing mice showed that [131I]SIB-PEG4-CHC cleared from background rapidly, and didn’t deiodinate in vivo. However, the poor tumor localization excluded it from further investigations as a tumor-targeted radiopharmaceuticals.
