Abstract

Two bicyclic compounds containing Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motifs (RGDf and RGD) were synthesized by cyclizing the peptide sequence across the macrocyclic ring of DOTA via two non-adjacent carboxylate pendent arms. The Lu3+ or Cu2+ complexes of these compounds, c(DOTA-RGDf) and c(DOTA-RGD), showed a metal dependent affinity towards integrin αvβ 3in vitro and the 177Lu3+ or 64Cu2+ labelled derivatives showed specific tumour uptake in MCF7 and U87MG tumour bearing mice.
