Abstract
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a carboxypeptidase that is overexpressed in prostate cancer and is an excellent candidate for targeted diagnostic imaging and therapy. Lysine-ureido-glutamate inhibitors of PSMA radiolabeled with positron-emitting radionuclides can be used for diagnostic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET). A squaramide ester derivative of desferrioxamine B (H3DFOSq) was used to prepare four new agents with either one or two lysine-ureido-glutamate pharmacophores. The H3DFOSq ligand can be used to form stable complexes with either of the positron-emitting radionuclides gallium-68 (t1/2 = 68 min) or zirconium-89 (t1/2 = 3.3 days). The complexes were eva..
