We have previously shown that 68Gallium-labelled VAP-1-targeting peptide (68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1) is a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent, capable of visualising inflammation in rats, but disadvantaged by its short metabolic half-life and rapid clearance. We hypothesised that prolonging the metabolic half-life of 68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1 could further improve its imaging characteristics | Autio et al.

We have previously shown that 68Gallium-labelled VAP-1-targeting peptide 68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1 is a positron emission tomography PET imaging agent capable of visualising inflammation in rats but disadvantaged by its short metabolic half-life and rapid clearance. We hypothesised that prolonging the metabolic half-life of 68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1 could further improve its imaging characteristics. In this study we evaluated a new analogue of 68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1 modified with a mini-polyethylene glycol PEG spacer 68Ga-DOTAVAP-PEG-P1 for in vivo imaging of inflammation. Methods Whole-body distribution kinetics and visualisation of inflammation in a rat model by the peptides 68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1 and 68Ga-DOTAVAP-PEG-P1 were evaluated in vivo by dynamic PET imaging and ex vivo by measuring the radioactivity of excised tissues. In addition plasma samples were analysed by radio-HPLC for the in vivo stability of the peptides. Results The peptide with the mini-PEG spacer showed slower renal excretion but similar liver uptake as the original peptide. At 60 min after injection the standardised uptake value of the inflammation site was for 68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1 and for 68Ga-DOTAVAP-PEG-P1 by PET. In addition inflammation-to-muscle ratios were and for 68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1 and 68Ga-DOTAVAP-PEG-P1 respectively. The proportion of unchanged peptide in circulation at 60 min after injection was significantly higher for 68Ga-DOTAVAP-PEG-P1 76 than for 68Ga-DOTAVAP-P1 19 . Conclusion The eight-carbon mini-PEG .
