摘要:
A method for radiolabelling peptides using polyaminocarboxylate ligands having suitable protecting groups such that they can be added to peptides by standard solid phase or solution phase peptide synthetic chemistry and can be deprotected using standard cleavage/deprotection reagents and produce the peptide/chelate conjugate as a high purity monoaddition product is provided. The cleaved and deprotected ligand-peptide molecules can then be labeled with lanthanide or actinide radionuclides. The protected polyaminocarboxylate ligands form mono-anhydrides or mono-active esters under solid phase or solution phase conditions and permit only the desired monoaddition chelate-peptide conjugate to be formed.
摘要:
L'invention concerne des ligands d'amide-thiolate présentant une cinétique de formation d'agents chélateurs améliorée. Les ligands se composent d'une amine qui favorise la formation rapide d'un complexe intermédiaire amine-amide-thiolate, suivie du transfert du métal ou de la conversion du ligand en un complexe amide-thiolate thermodynamiquement stable. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'amine est une amine tertiaire ou l'équivalent qui est placée de manière stratégique afin de faciliter la formation du complexe. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'amine fait partie de la pyridine contenant un substituant alcoxyle inférieur en position 2 ou 4 dans le cycle. La désalcoylation-O se produit lors de la réaction de complexation qui entraîne la transformation de l'amine en amide vinylogue en tant que partie intégrante d'un complexe amide-thiolate thermodynamiquement stable. Les ligands d'amide-thiolate de ladite invention peuvent être utilisés pour le marquage postformé de substances biologiques à des fins diagnostiques et thérapeutiques.
摘要:
Ligands that are capable of forming metal complexes are incorporated directly into peptides at nonbiologically active locations. The metal complex serves as a bifunctional agent and as a spacer molecule. In one aspect of the invention, the ligands are prepared by replacing a nonbiologically active peptide spacer sequence with either Cys-Gly-Gly-Glu(η-)CO- (SEQ ID NO:1) or Cys-Gly-Gly-Lys(ε-)NH-CO(CH2)2-CO- (SEQ ID NO:2). In these examples, unnatural peptide bonds are used to attach the ligand to the terminal end of the peptide. Peptides incorporating such ligands are also disclosed. Other spacer ligands which may be incorporated into peptides include the following natural peptide sequences: -Cys-Gly-His-, -Asp-Gly-Cys-, -Glu-Gly-Cys-, -Gly-Asp-Cys-, and -Gly-Glu-Cys-. Unnatural tripeptides which function as spacer ligands include: -Cys-Gly-(imidazolyl glycyl)-, -isoCys-Gly-(imidazolyl glycyl)-, and -isoCys-Gly-His-. When the above peptide sequences are present in a nonbiologically active peptide spacer, they are able to form metal complexes with desired metal ions, and the resulting complexes serve as bifunctional agents and as spacer molecules in the peptide.

摘要:
This invention relates to radiolabeled peptide compositions for radiopharmaceutical use and, more specifically, to radiolabeled peptides for diagnostic or therapeutic use having an unmodified carboxy terminal amino acid. The radiopharmaceutical composition may be used for targeting a selected biological site. The radiolabeled peptide is characterized by having its carboxy terminal amino acid in its carboxylic acid form and the peptide is coupled to a diagnostic or therapeutic radionuclide by a chelating agent. The radiopharmaceutical composition preferably comprises a radiolabeled peptide selected from the group consisting of somatostatin, an analog of somatostatin, a derivative of somatostatin and peptides capable of binding to the somatostatin receptor, where the peptide is coupled to a diagnostic or therapeutic radionuclide by a chelating agent has its carboxy terminal amino acid in its carboxylic acid form.
摘要:
Stable analogs of cyclic peptides containing disulfide linkages are disclosed. The disulfide linkage is modified by one of four methods: (a) sulfide contraction, (b) isosteric substitution, (c) thioketal expansion, or (d) alkylation expansion. In sulfide contraction the disulfide bond (-S-S-) is replaced with a monosulfide bond (-S-) in which a bifunctional effector molecule, such as a ligand or chemotoxic agent, is bound to the new peptide linkage. In isosteric substitution, one sulfur atom is replaced with a carbon atom and at least one of the carbon atoms at the modified side is a bifuctional effector molecule. In thioketal expansion, an alkylidene unit (-CR1R2-) is inserted between the two sulfur atoms. In alkylation expansion, an alkyl moiety of from C2 to C3, is inserted between the two sulfur atoms.

Compositions and methods of incorporating ligand precursors and ligands at any location within a peptide during peptide synthesis are disclosed. Derivatives of 2,4,5-triaminopentanoic acid and η-aminoglutamic acid are selectively incorporated into the peptide during solid phase or liquid phase synthesis, depending upon the choice of protecting groups. Ligand synthesis may then be completed at a later time to produce N3S, N2S2, and EDTA type chelating agents.
