Abstract

Somatostatin analoges labeled with different radionuclides are able used for imaging and treatment of somatostatin receptor positive tumors. In this study Tyr³-Octreotide protected at lysine as an analoge of somatostatin was conjugated with bifunctional chelating agent 6-BOC-hydrazinopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (BOC-HYNIC) and after deprotecting of conjugate, purification was performed with preparative-RP-HPLC. The conjugated peptide was labeled with 99mTc and tricine as coligand. Radiolabelling efficiency, radiochemical purity, stability in human serum, internalization of receptor bound 99mTc-labeled peptide and biodistribution in normal mice were studied.
