Abstract

The radiochemical synthesis and stability of ⁶⁷Ga-deferoxamine-folate ([⁶⁷Ga]Ga-DF-Folate) were examined as a function of DF-Folate concentration. Optimal labeling occurred at DF-Folate concentrations 22.5 μg/mL. To define the possible biological significance of variations in product formulation, the biodistribution of [⁶⁷Ga]Ga-DF-Folate was examined as a function of administered deferoxamine-folate dose in an athymic mouse KB tumor model. The folate-receptor-positive KB tumors were found to concentrate the ⁶⁷Ga radiolabel in a dose-dependent fashion, consistent with saturable involvement of the folate receptor in mediating tumor accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical.
