title: Synthesis and characterization of two (111)In-labeled DTPA-peptide conjugates.
abstract: This report describes the synthesis and characterization of two (111)In-labeled DTPA-peptide conjugates (DTPA-MA and DTPA-BA). It is surprising to find that (111)In(DTPA-MA) and (111)In(DTPA-BA) are more hydrophilic than their corresponding (90)Y analogues, suggesting a different coordination sphere in (111)In and(90)Y complexes of the same DTPA-peptide conjugate. By a reversed phase HPLC method, both (111)In(DTPA-MA) and (111)In(DTPA-BA) showed only one radiometric peak in their respective HPLC chromatogram due to a rapid interconversion of different isomers (particularly cis and trans isomers for (111)In(DTPA-MA); cis-cis, cis-trans, trans-cis, and trans-trans isomers for (111)In(DTPA-BA)). The interconversion of different isomers involves the "wagging" of the diethylenetriamine backbone, "shuffling" of the NO or NO(2) donor sets, and a rapid inversion at the terminal amine-nitrogen atoms.
