Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Heparanase is an enzyme which plays an essential role for cancer metastasis. In this study, we designed and synthesized novel heparanase-targeted radioiodine-labeled probes, [I-125]1 and [I-125]2, based on a chemical structure of selective heparanase inhibitor, OGT2115, for quantitative diagnosis of cancer with single photon emission computed tomography. In a heparanase inhibition assay, non-radioactive 1 and 2 exhibited high heparanase inhibitory potencies similar to heparanase inhibitors previously reported. In addition, [I-125]1 showed a high stability in injection solution, cellular accumulation in cancer cells dependent on expression level of heparanase, and good in vivo biodistribution in normal mice. These results suggest that [I-123]1 targeting heparanase could be a candidate for qualitative diagnosis of cancers.
