摘要
Peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals targeting integrinα5β1 show promise for precise tumor diagnosis and treatment.However,current peptide-based radioligands that targetα5β1 demonstrate inadequate in vivo performance owing to limited tumor retention.The use of PEGylation to enhance the tumor retention of radiopharmaceuticals by prolonging blood circulation time poses a risk of increased blood toxicity.Therefore,a PEGylation strategy that boosts tumor retention while minimizing blood circulation time is urgently needed.Here,we developed a PEGylation-enabled peptide multidisplay platform(PEGibody)for PR_b,anα5β1 targeting peptide.PEGibody generation involved PEGylation and self-assembly.[^(64)Cu]QM-2303 PEGibodies displayed spherical nanoparticles ranging from 100 to 200 nm in diameter.Compared with non-PEGylated radioligands,[^(64)Cu]QM-2303 demonstrated enhanced tumor retention time due to increased binding affinity and stability.Importantly,the biodistribution analysis confirmed rapid clearance of[^(64)Cu]QM-2303 from the bloodstream.Administration of a single dose of[^(177)Lu]QM-2303 led to robust antitumor efficacy.Furthermore,[^(64)Cu]/[^(177)Lu]QM-2303 exhibited low hematological and organ toxicity in both healthy and tumor-bearing mice.Therefore,this study presents a PEGibody-based radiotheranostic approach that enhances tumor retention time and provides long-lasting antitumor effects without prolonging blood circulation lifetime.The PEGibody-based radiopharmaceutical[^(64)Cu]/[^(177)Lu]QM-2303 shows great potential for positron emission tomography imaging-guided targeted radionuclide therapy forα5β1-overexpressing tumors.
