Cyclin-dependent kinase 19 (CDK19) is overexpressed in prostate cancer, making it an attractive target for both imaging and therapy. Since little known about the optimized approach radioligands of nuclear proteins, linker optimization strategies were used to improve pharmacokinetics tumor absorption, including adjustment length, flexibility/rigidity, hydrophilicity/lipophilicity linkers. Molecular docking was conducted virtual screening followed by IC50 determination. Both BALB/c mice P-16 xenografts tissue distribution PET/CT imaging. The ligand 68Ga-10c demonstrated high absorption 5 min after injection sustains long-term within 3 h. Furthermore, exhibited slow clearance predominantly metabolized liver kidneys, showing potential alleviate metabolic pressure enhance safety. Therefore, strategy well suited CDK19 provides a reference radioactive ligands other targets.

[18F]F-Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Inhibitor Radiotracers for Imaging PARP Expression and Their Potential Clinical Applications in Oncology

Journal of Clinical Medicine, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(12), С. 3426 - 3426

Including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in managing patients with inoperable tumors has significantly improved outcomes. The PARP hamper single-strand deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair by trapping poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase at sites of DNA damage, forming a non-functional "PARP enzyme-inhibitor complex" leading to cell cytotoxicity. effect is more pronounced the presence upregulation and homologous recombination (HR) deficiencies such as breast cancer-associated gene (BRCA1/2). Hence, identifying HR-deficiencies genomic analysis-for instance, BRCA1/2 used triple-negative cancer-should be part selection process for inhibitor therapy. Published data suggest germline mutations do not consistently predict favorable responses inhibitors, suggesting that other factors beyond tumor mutation status may play. A variety factors, including heterogeneity expression intrinsic and/or acquired resistance contributing factors. This justifies use an additional tool appropriate patient selection, which noninvasive, capable assessing whole-body vivo evaluating pharmacokinetics complementary currently available analysis. In this review, we discuss [18F]Fluorine radiotracers their potential imaging pharmacokinetics. To provide context also briefly possible causes or ineffectiveness. discussion focuses on TNBC, type where are standard-of-care treatment strategy.

The identification of new targets to address unmet medical needs, better in a personalized way, is an urgent necessity. introduction PARP1 inhibitors into therapy, almost ten years ago, has represented step forward this need being innovate cancer treatment through precision medicine approach. PARP family consists 17 members which that works by poly-ADP ribosylating the substrate sole enzyme so far exploited as therapeutic target. Most other are mono-ADP-ribosylating (mono-ARTs) enzymes, and recent studies have deciphered their pathophysiological roles appear be very extensive with various potential applications. In parallel, handful mono-ARTs emerged been collected perspective on 2022. After that, additional interesting compounds were identified highlighting hot-topic nature research field prompting update. From present review, where we reported only endowed appropriate profile pharmacological tools or drug candidate, four privileged scaffolds clearly stood out constitute basis for further discovery campaigns.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibition has become a major target in anticancer therapy. While PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are approved for homologous recombination (HR) deficient cancers, therapeutic resistance is challenge and PARPi now being investigated cancers lacking HR deficiencies. This creates need to develop molecular imaging biomarkers of response improve patient selection circumvent resistance. PubMed clinicaltrials.gov were queried studies on imaging. review summarizes established emerging mechanisms PARPi, the current state theragnostic probes including fluorescently labeled radiolabeled probes. progress been made understanding resistance, clinical evidence remains relatively little known regarding outside Continued research will clarify importance cohorts broader utility PARPi. Progress also imaging, particularly with probes, both have reached validation. Reducing abdominal background signal from probe clearance broaden their applicability, improvements synthesis radiation delivery increase utility.
