Abstract

Heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone that activates oncogenic transformation in several solid tumors, including lung and breast cancers. Ganetespib, a most promising candidate among several HSP90 inhibitors under clinical trials, has entered Phase III clinical trials for cancer therapy. Despite numerous evidences validating HSP90 as a target of anticancer, there are few studies on PET agents targeting oncogenic HSP90. In this study, we synthesized and biologically evaluated a novel 18F-labeled 5-resorcinolic triazolone derivative (1, [18F]PTP-Ganetespib) based on ganetespib. [18F]PTP-Ganetespib was labeled by click chemistry of Ganetespib-PEG-Alkyne (10) and [18F]PEG-N3 (11) with 37.3 ± 5.11% of radiochemical yield and... (More)

[18F]PTP-Ganetespib was labeled by click chemistry of Ganetespib-PEG-Alkyne (10) and [18F]PEG-N3 (11) with 37.3 ± 5.11% of radiochemical yield and 99.7 ± 0.09% of radiochemical purity. [18F]PTP-Ganetespib showed proper LogP (0.96 ± 0.06) and good stability in human serum over 97% for 2 h. [18F]PTP-Ganetespib showed high uptakes in breast cancer cells containing triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 and Her2-negative MCF-7 cells, which are target breast cancer cell lines of HSP90 inhibitor, ganetespib, as an anticancer. Blocking of HSP90 by the pretreatment of ganetespib exhibited significantly decreased accumulation of [18F]PTP-Ganetespib in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, indicating the specific binding of [18F]PTP-Ganetespib to MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells with high HSP90 expression. In the biodistribution and microPET imaging studies, the initial uptake into tumor was weaker than in other thoracic and abdominal organs, but [18F]PTP-Ganetespib was retained relatively longer in the tumor than other organs. The uptake of [18F]PTP-Ganetespib in tumors was not sufficient for further development as a tumor-specific PET imaging agent by itself, but this preliminary PET imaging study of [18F]PTP-Ganetespib can be basis for developing new PET imaging agents based on HSP90 inhibitor, ganetespib.
