| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is highly expressed in many human solid cancers. Because NQO1 can be induced immediately after exposure to ionizing radiation, we aimed to develop an NQO1-targeted radioiodinated agent to establish a novel internal radiation therapy that amplifies the therapeutic effects when combined with external radiation therapy. The metabolic stability of NQO1-targeted radioiodinated compounds previously reported was low because of the electron withdrawing effect of iodine atom. Then, we designed and synthesis of a new NQO1-targeted radioiodinated derivative having methoxy group as a electron donating group. As a result, radioiodinated derivative exhibited goood metabolic stabilty in NQO1-expressing HT-29 cell lysates.
