In this paper, in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of nanostructured lipid carrier of dihydroartemisinin （DHA-NLC） were evaluated in sarcoma 180-bearing mice model through intraperitoneal （i.p.） administration. In vivo biodistribution was also investigated in Kunming mice bearing S180. Results demonstrated that the intraperitoneally injected DHA-NLC could significantly inhibit tumor growth at the dose levels of 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg, and their inhibition rates were 71.24%, 79.20% and 85.74%, respectively. The biodistribution of DHA after intraperitoneal injection of DHA-NLC in S180-bearing mice is remarkably different from the DHA solution. Therefore, DHA encapsulated in NLC does demonstrate superior anticancer effect to DHA suspension on S 180-bearing mice at the same dose and displayed a dose-dependent antitumor efficacy.展开更多

It was labeled with 99Tcm in conditions of 0.1 mg SnCl2.2H2O at pH 6.0 and 99TcmO4? in aqueous solution for 20 min at room temperature. The labeling yield and radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-PIDP are both higher than 95%. The biodistribution results show that the bone uptake is up to 8.47% ID/g which is the maximum of bone uptake at 30 min after injection of 99Tcm-PIDP in mice. The pharmacokinetic parameters can be estimated from the exponential equation of C=59.565e-11.307t+2.069e-1.211t. The clear bone image of rabbit was obtained at 120 min after injection of 99Tcm-PIDP. The results indicate that 99Tcm-PIDP has highly selective uptake in the skeletal and low uptake, rapid clearance in soft tissues, so it would be a potential novel bone imaging agent.展开更多

The effects of the amounts of SnCl2?2H2O and HMIBP and the pH value on the labeling yield and radiochemical purity of 99mTc-HMIBP were investigated. When the amounts of SnCl2?2H2O and HMIBP were more than 10 μg and 2.5 mg, respectively, the pH value was between 2 and 7, and the labeling reaction contin- ued for 10 min, both labeling yield and radiochemical purity of 99mTc-HMIBP were more than 90%. The biodistribu- tion in rats and bone scan in rabbits were also studied. The results showed that the bone uptake is up to 7.94%ID/g at 30 min after injection of 99mTc-HMIBP, bone-to-muscle and bone-to-blood uptake ratios were 20.89 and 16.89, re- spectively. The clear bone image was obtained at 120 min after injection of 99mTc-HMIBP and clearance in soft tissue was visible. All of the above-mentioned results suggested that 99mTc-HMIBP may be a potential bone-imaging agent.展开更多

Optimization reactions were performed for pH, temperature and concentration. Biodistribution of the tracer was studied in normal and fibrosarcoma bearing mice. At the optimized conditions, ITLC showed that radiochemical purity was over 97% with a specific activity of 2.22× 103MBq ·mmol-1·L-1. This was kept unchanged even with presence of human serum as well as room temperature for 5 h. Biodistribution of the tracer in fibrosarcoma bearing mice demonstrated significant tumor uptake after 2 h. This tracer can be used in the detection of various tumors responding to doxorubicin chemotherapy using PET scan and/or determination of tumor therapy response to doxorubicin chemotherapy.展开更多

A rotary evaporation method was used to remove excess methanol. The reactant was purified through a Sep-Pak C18 reversal phase column. The radiochemical purity and in vivo stability were determined using silica gel thin layer chromatography （TLC）. The biodistribution of 125I-FIAU in Kunming mice was also detected. The results showed that 125I-FIAU could be radiolabeled effectively with FTAU, with mean labeling rate being （81±0.38）% （n =5）. The mean radiochemical purity of （98.01±0.40）% （n=5） was achieved after a reversal phase Sep-park column purification. 125I-FIAU was stable when incubated in normal human serum or in saline at 37°C, with a radiochemical purity 〉96% during a 0.5-24 h time period. Biological experiments exhibited rapid clearance of 125I-FIAU from the blood pool. 125I-FIAU was mostly excreted by kidneys. 125I-FIAU in myocardium dropped conspicuously after 8 h and there was hardly retention at 24 h. We were led to concluded that the new method of radioiodinization of FTAU for the preparation of 125I-FIAU is easy, highly effective and stable in vivo. The biodistribution of 125I-FIAU in Kunming mice showed it can serve as an imaging probe for myocardial reporter genes.展开更多

After 150 μA irradiation for 76 min, about 6.006 Ci of 61Cu2+ was obtained with a radiochemical separation yield of 95% and a radionuclidic purity of 99%. Cu-PTSM was prepared using an optimized method with 61 in-house synthesized PTSM ligand for radiolabeling following quality control procedures using RTLC and HPLC. The tracer is mostly incorporated in heart, kidneys and brain compared to free copper cation as a control. These are in agreement with former reports. In conclusion, [61Cu]-PTSM was prepared at the radiopharmaceutical scales with high quality and is a potential PET tracer in the perfusion study of the heart, kidney, brain and tumors.展开更多

METHODS： A total of 10 eyes of 6 to 8-week-old BALB/c mice were analyzed. Corneal neovascularization（CoNV） was induced in the inferior cornea（IC） of each animal by penetrating the stroma with two interrupted sutures. The development of CoNV was verified after one week and the area of each neovascularized region was measured. A near-infrared fluorescent probe of 20 μmol/L Cy5.5 labeled LHT7（LHT7-Cy5.5） in 0.02 mL solution was topically instilled onto the cornea in the experimental group（n=5）. Free-Cy5.5 of 20 μmol/L in 0.02 mL was instilled in the control group（n=5）. In vivo optical images were obtained before instillation and 5 min, 2, 4, and 6 h after instillation. The intensities were separately measured at the superior cornea（SC） and the IC. RESULTS： The mean CoNV areas were 1.97±0.17 mm^2 and 1.92±0.96 mm^2 in the experimental and control groups, respectively（P=0.832）. The SC remained normal in all 10 subject animals. The IC intensity of the LHT7-Cy5.5 was greater than the SC intensity at 5 min（P=0.038）, 2 h（P=0.041）, and 4 h（P=0.041） after application. The IC intensity fell to less than half of its initial value（42.9%±8.6%） at 6 h in the experimental group. In the control mice, here were no significant differences in the free-Cy5.5 intensity between the IC and SC. CONCLUSION： Topically administered LHT7 shows a high biodistribution in CoNV areas for 4 h and should be reapplied accordingly to maintain its effects. In vivo optical imaging can be a useful tool for evaluating the ocular biodistribution of a drug in an animal model.展开更多

The mutein forms were then studied for pharmacokinetic profile. In addition, the influence of charge on the protein structure was tested in vivo for the biodistribution pattern. Codon substitutions were performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based site-directed mutagenesis on a previously constructed synthetic hIFNα2b open reading frame (ORF) cloned in pET32b expression plasmid. The result of nucleotide sequencing analysis confirmed that all codons were replaced successfully without any additional mutation. Three mutant forms of hIFNα2b ORF were overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) resulted in three muteins: hIFNα2b C2D, hIFNα2b C99D, hIFNα2b C2D C99D. To follow the kinetic and localization of the mutein interferon after intravenous administration, Tc99m was used to label the proteins. In particular of elimination half-life, it was shown that hIFNα2b C2D C99D > hIFNα2bC2D > hIFNα2bC99D > wild type. hIFNα2b C2D C99D mutein showed highest blood accumulation after 30 minutes administration. Taken together, the charge of hIFNα2b seems to be responsible for the fate of hIFNα2b in vivo.展开更多

Dependences ofthe radiolabeling yield of 67Ga-EDTMP on EDTMP concentration, pH and reaction time were examined. Under theoptimum conditions, the radiolabeling yield of 67Ga-EDTMP was more than 97%. A biodistribution experiment inmice showed that 67Ga-EDTMP was mainly absorbed by skeleton and reached 13.25% at 0.5 h after injecting, thenkept a high level in 72 h with a maximum value of 16.82% at 48 h. The results suggest that 67Ga-EDTMP might be apotential bone pain palliation radiopharmaceutical due to its high skeletal uptake, rapid blood clearance and relativelylow soft-tissue absorption. But further work must be done to determine whether 67Ga-EDTMP is useful in thetreatment of painful osseous metastases.展开更多

文摘Lipid nanoparticles have become attractive for its prominent properties recent years. In this paper, in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of nanostructured lipid carrier of dihydroartemisinin （DHA-NLC） were evaluated in sarcoma 180-bearing mice model through intraperitoneal （i.p.） administration. In vivo biodistribution was also investigated in Kunming mice bearing S180. Results demonstrated that the intraperitoneally injected DHA-NLC could significantly inhibit tumor growth at the dose levels of 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg, and their inhibition rates were 71.24%, 79.20% and 85.74%, respectively. The biodistribution of DHA after intraperitoneal injection of DHA-NLC in S180-bearing mice is remarkably different from the DHA solution. Therefore, DHA encapsulated in NLC does demonstrate superior anticancer effect to DHA suspension on S 180-bearing mice at the same dose and displayed a dose-dependent antitumor efficacy.

文摘Biodistribution and toxicity assessment are critical for safe clinical use of newly developed medicines.Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION)are effective carriers for targeted drug delivery.This study aimed to examine the toxicity and biodistribution of SPION coated with polyethylenimine (PEI)(SPION-PEI)designed for small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery both in vitro and in vivo.SPION-PEI/siRNA complexes were prepared at different weight ratios.Cytotoxic effects of SPION-PEI/siRNA on HSC-T6 cell viability were determined by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT).Rats were divided into three groups:a control group,a normal-saline group and a SPION-PEI/siRNA group.After a single intravenous injection,in vivo nanoparticle biodistribution and accumulation were evaluated by Prussian blue staining in the heart,liver,spleen,lung and kidney 8 h,24 h,and 7 days after the injection.Their distribution was histologically studied at the three time points by measuring ironpositive areas (μm2)in organ sections stained with Prussian blue.The same organs were analyzed by H&E staining for any possible histopathological changes.Furthermore,biochemical indexes such as alanine amino transaminase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST),blood urea nitrogen (BUN)and creatinine (CREA)were also assessed at all experimental time points.Electrophoresis exhibited that the SPION-PEI could retard siRNA altogether at weight ratios above 4.MTT assay showed that SPION-PEI loaded with siRNA had low cytotoxicity.In vivo study revealed that the liver and spleen were the major sites of SPION-PEI/siRNA deposition.The iron content was significantly increased in the liver and spleen,peaking 24 h after intravenous injection and then declining gradually.No evidence was found of irreversible histopathological damage to any of the organs tested.These results suggested that most SPION-PEI/siRNA complexes were distributed in the liver and spleen,which might be the target organs of SPION-PEI/siRNA complexes.SPION- PEI/siRNA may serve as in vivo carrier for biomedical medicines.

文摘A novel zoledronic acid derivative,1-hydroxy-2-(2-propyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethane-1,1-diyldiphosphonic acid (PIDP), was synthesized by three-step reactions from 2-propyl-1H-imidazole. It was labeled with 99Tcm in conditions of 0.1 mg SnCl2.2H2O at pH 6.0 and 99TcmO4? in aqueous solution for 20 min at room temperature. The labeling yield and radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-PIDP are both higher than 95%. The biodistribution results show that the bone uptake is up to 8.47% ID/g which is the maximum of bone uptake at 30 min after injection of 99Tcm-PIDP in mice. The pharmacokinetic parameters can be estimated from the exponential equation of C=59.565e-11.307t+2.069e-1.211t. The clear bone image of rabbit was obtained at 120 min after injection of 99Tcm-PIDP. The results indicate that 99Tcm-PIDP has highly selective uptake in the skeletal and low uptake, rapid clearance in soft tissues, so it would be a potential novel bone imaging agent.
文摘99mTc-HMIBP, a new bone-imaging agent, was prepared by the reduction of 99mTc-pertechnetate in the presence of SnCl2?2H2O.

When the amounts of SnCl2?2H2O and HMIBP were more than 10 μg and 2.5 mg, respectively, the pH value was between 2 and 7, and the labeling reaction contin- ued for 10 min, both labeling yield and radiochemical purity of 99mTc-HMIBP were more than 90%. The biodistribu- tion in rats and bone scan in rabbits were also studied. The results showed that the bone uptake is up to 7.94%ID/g at 30 min after injection of 99mTc-HMIBP, bone-to-muscle and bone-to-blood uptake ratios were 20.89 and 16.89, re- spectively.

Optimization reactions were performed for pH, temperature and concentration. Biodistribution of the tracer was studied in normal and fibrosarcoma bearing mice. At the optimized conditions, ITLC showed that radiochemical purity was over 97% with a specific activity of 2.22× 103MBq ·mmol-1·L-1. This was kept unchanged even with presence of human serum as well as room temperature for 5 h. Biodistribution of the tracer in fibrosarcoma bearing mice demonstrated significant tumor uptake after 2 h.

文摘In this study, a novel technique for the preparation of 125I-5-trimethylstannyl-1-（2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl） urail （FIAU） was developed, 125I-FIAU biodistribution profile was detected in Kunming mice and the possibility of using FTAU radio-labeling for reporter gene imaging was explored. 5-trimethylstannyl-1-（2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl） urail （FTAU） was labeled with radioiodine （125I）. A rotary evaporation method was used to remove excess methanol. The reactant was purified through a Sep-Pak C18 reversal phase column. The radiochemical purity and in vivo stability were determined using silica gel thin layer chromatography （TLC）. The biodistribution of 125I-FIAU in Kunming mice was also detected. The results showed that 125I-FIAU could be radiolabeled effectively with FTAU, with mean labeling rate being （81±0.38）% （n =5）. The mean radiochemical purity of （98.01±0.40）% （n=5） was achieved after a reversal phase Sep-park column purification. 125I-FIAU was stable when incubated in normal human serum or in saline at 37°C, with a radiochemical purity 〉96% during a 0.5-24 h time period. Biological experiments exhibited rapid clearance of 125I-FIAU from the blood pool. 125I-FIAU was mostly excreted by kidneys. 125I-FIAU in myocardium dropped conspicuously after 8 h and there was hardly retention at 24 h. We were led to concluded that the new method of radioiodinization of FTAU for the preparation of 125I-FIAU is easy, highly effective and stable in vivo. The biodistribution of 125I-FIAU in Kunming mice showed it can serve as an imaging probe for myocardial reporter genes.

文摘AIM： To investigate the ocular biodistribution and clearance of topically administered 7-taurocholic acid conjugated low-molecular weight heparin（LHT7） in a neovascularized mouse cornea using an in vivo optical imaging system. METHODS： A total of 10 eyes of 6 to 8-week-old BALB/c mice were analyzed. Corneal neovascularization（CoNV） was induced in the inferior cornea（IC） of each animal by penetrating the stroma with two interrupted sutures. The development of CoNV was verified after one week and the area of each neovascularized region was measured. A near-infrared fluorescent probe of 20 μmol/L Cy5.5 labeled LHT7（LHT7-Cy5.5） in 0.02 mL solution was topically instilled onto the cornea in the experimental group（n=5）. Free-Cy5.5 of 20 μmol/L in 0.02 mL was instilled in the control group（n=5）. In vivo optical images were obtained before instillation and 5 min, 2, 4, and 6 h after instillation. The intensities were separately measured at the superior cornea（SC） and the IC. RESULTS： The mean CoNV areas were 1.97±0.17 mm^2 and 1.92±0.96 mm^2 in the experimental and control groups, respectively（P=0.832）. The SC remained normal in all 10 subject animals. The IC intensity of the LHT7-Cy5.5 was greater than the SC intensity at 5 min（P=0.038）, 2 h（P=0.041）, and 4 h（P=0.041） after application. The IC intensity fell to less than half of its initial value（42.9%±8.6%） at 6 h in the experimental group. In the control mice, here were no significant differences in the free-Cy5.5 intensity between the IC and SC. CONCLUSION： Topically administered LHT7 shows a high biodistribution in CoNV areas for 4 h and should be reapplied accordingly to maintain its effects. In vivo optical imaging can be a useful tool for evaluating the ocular biodistribution of a drug in an animal model.

文摘Novel human interferon alpha 2b (hIFNα2b) muteins were developed by substituting cysteine residue (C) at positions 2 and 99 with aspartic acid residues (D). The mutein forms were then studied for pharmacokinetic profile. In addition, the influence of charge on the protein structure was tested in vivo for the biodistribution pattern. Codon substitutions were performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based site-directed mutagenesis on a previously constructed synthetic hIFNα2b open reading frame (ORF) cloned in pET32b expression plasmid. The result of nucleotide sequencing analysis confirmed that all codons were replaced successfully without any additional mutation. Three mutant forms of hIFNα2b ORF were overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) resulted in three muteins: hIFNα2b C2D, hIFNα2b C99D, hIFNα2b C2D C99D. To follow the kinetic and localization of the mutein interferon after intravenous administration, Tc99m was used to label the proteins. In particular of elimination half-life, it was shown that hIFNα2b C2D C99D > hIFNα2bC2D > hIFNα2bC99D > wild type. hIFNα2b C2D C99D mutein showed highest blood accumulation after 30 minutes administration. Taken together, the charge of hIFNα2b seems to be responsible for the fate of hIFNα2b in vivo.
文摘Prostate-specific membrane antigen(PSMA) is a useful target for diagnostic and therapeutic applications,and it is demonstrated that ^(68) Ga in conjugation with DKFZPSMA-617 is better than ^(68)Ga-PSMA-1 in biodistribution data after 1 h,but more preclinical data are still required.In this paper,we presented the additional preclinical data for ^(68)Ga-DKFZ-PSMA-617 and relevant aspects of its production.^(68) Ga was obtained from the SnO_2-based ^(68)Ge/ ^(68) Ga generator.Optimum conditions(p H,temperature,time and ligand concentration) for ^(68)Ga-DKFZPSMA-617 preparation were studied.Radiochemical purity of the radiolabeled compound was determined by HPLC and RTLC.After stability assessments,the complex was intravenously injected into rats.HPLC and ITLC characterizations indicated that the radiopharmaceutical could be prepared with radiochemical purity of [96 % and specific activity of 308.3 TBq/mmol at the optimized conditions(p H of 3.5–4,ligand amount of 2.4 nmol,temperature of90–95 C and reaction time of 10 min).Also,the biodistribution data showed no undesirable uptake in nontarget organs at any interval after injection.In fact,the activity is cleaned from blood and excreted rapidly via the kidneys.Generally,this compound can be considered as a wellestablished PET imaging agent.

文摘67Ga-EDTMP was synthesized in a single step by adding 67GaCl3 to EDTMP solution. Dependences ofthe radiolabeling yield of 67Ga-EDTMP on EDTMP concentration, pH and reaction time were examined. Under theoptimum conditions, the radiolabeling yield of 67Ga-EDTMP was more than 97%. A biodistribution experiment inmice showed that 67Ga-EDTMP was mainly absorbed by skeleton and reached 13.25% at 0.5 h after injecting, thenkept a high level in 72 h with a maximum value of 16.82% at 48 h. The results suggest that 67Ga-EDTMP might be apotential bone pain palliation radiopharmaceutical due to its high skeletal uptake, rapid blood clearance and relativelylow soft-tissue absorption. But further work must be done to determine whether 67Ga-EDTMP is useful in thetreatment of painful osseous metastases.

文摘The cyclic peptide YG5 and the t-butyloxycarbonyl(Boc)-modified analog(Boc-YG5) were labeled with radioiodine.The radiochemical purity of 131I-YG5 or 131I-Boc-YG5 was almost 100% after purification by RP-HPLC.Biodistribution in BALB/C nude mice bearing MCF-7 tumor was measured.After t-butyloxycarbonyl(Boc)-modification,the 131I-Boc-YG5 was quite resistant to deiodination in vivo,resulting in negligible radioactivity accumulation in thyroid.The radiotracer clearance in tumor became faster,the absolute tumor uptake decreased for 131I-Boc-YG5,but the tumor-to-tissue uptake ratios increased.The uptake ratios of tumor to muscle,blood,heart,and lung at 1 h post injection reached 4.73,1.70,4.09 and 1.70,respectively.It is demonstrated that Boc-group is an effective prosthetic one to prevent deiodination in vivo and improve tumor imaging for radioiodinated NGR.
