The invention relates to an NGR (
asparagine-
glycine-
arginine) polypeptide radiopharmaceutical as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The currently reported
radionuclide-labeled NGR-containing sequence has a higher liver
uptake rate. The NGR polypeptide radiopharmaceutical is formed with the preparation method comprising the steps as follows: monomers and dimmers of an NGR cyclopeptide are connected with a chelating agent NOTA to form a coordination compound, and the coordination compound finally forms the radiopharmaceutical through
chelation of the NOTA (
disodium edta) and radionuclides; the targeting action of the NGR polypeptide enables the radiopharmaceutical to be concentrated to a tumor part, and the
nuclear medicine positron emission computerized
tomography technology is utilized to image the CD13 positive tumor, so as to achieve the purpose of specific diagnosis. According to the invention, since the NOTA is used as a
bifunctional chelator to be chelated with the radionuclides, and the p-SCN-Bn is used as a
coupling agent to enable the NGR to be directly connected to a
carbon skeleton of the NOTA, the situation that the coordination of the carboxyl
oxygen atoms and the radionuclides is influenced by connection of the
coupling agent and the NOTA carboxyl is avoided; seen from the
metabolism in vivo, the radiopharmaceutical can be quickly metabolized through the
kidney after being injected into the body, and the liver
uptake rate is lower.
