摘要
Aptamers are characterized by a rapid renal clearance leading to a short in vivo circulating half-life. In order to use aptamers as anticancer therapeutic agents, their exposure time to the tumor has to be enhanced via increasing residency in the bloodstream. A way to achieve this goal is by conjugating the aptamer to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). Herein, we present the conjugation of a bifunctionalized anti-MUC1 aptamer (NH2-AptA-SR) with the Tc-99m coordinating moiety MAG2 and either a conventional branched PEG or the comb-shaped PolyPEG via a two-step synthesis. The isolated products were radiolabeled with Tc-99m and their biodistribution and tumor-targeting properties in MCF-7 tumor bearing mice were analyzed and compared.
