Abstract:
:Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an important biological target for therapy and diagnosis of prostate cancer. In this study, novel multivalent PSMA inhibitors with glutamate-urea-lysine structures were designed to improve inhibition characteristics. Precursors of the novel inhibitors were prepared from glutamic acid with di-tert-butyl ester. A near-infrared molecular dye, sulfo-Cy5.5, was introduced into the precursors to generate the final PSMA fluorescent inhibitors, compounds 12-14, to visualize prostate cancer. Biological behaviors of the inhibitors were evaluated using in vitro inhibition assays, in vivo fluorescent imaging, and ex vivo biodistribution assays. Ki values from inhibition studies indicated that dimeric inhibitor 13 with a glutamine linker showed approximately 3-fold more inhibitory activity than monomeric inhibitor 12. According to other biological studies using a mouse model of prostate cancer, dimeric inhibitor compounds 13 and 14 had higher tumor accumulation than the monomer. However, glutamine-based dimeric inhibitor 13 showed lower liver uptake than dimeric inhibitor 14, which had a benzene structure. Thus, these studies suggest that glutamine-based dimeric inhibitor 13 can be a promising optical inhibitor of prostate cancer.
