OBJECTIVE: A radioiodinated analog of PD153035 (m-IPQ) was evaluated as a potential epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) activity imaging ligand for SPECT. METHODS: The 50% inhibition concentration (IC₅₀) value of m-IPQ for EGFR-TK phosphorylation inhibition was evaluated and compared to various EGFR-TK inhibitors. [(125)I]m-IPQ was synthesized by iododestannylation reaction. Biodistribution study of [(125)I]m-IPQ was conducted in normal mice and tumor-bearing mice. The selectivity and binding characteristics (B(max) and K(d)) were analyzed. RESULTS: The quinazoline derivative m-IPQ was found to have high inhibitory potency (IC₅₀: 50.5 ± 3.5 nM) and selectivity toward EGFR-TK. In vivo biodistribution studies of [(125)I]m-IPQ demonstrated its rapid clearance and low retention in normal tissue. On the other hand, high tumor uptake was observed. However, the increase in [(125)I]m-IPQ uptake in the stomach as a deiodination parameter was found. Thus, [(125)I]m-IPQ showed low in vivo stability. The selectivity toward EGFR-TK of m-IPQ was confirmed by the pretreatment experiment with EGFR-TK specific inhibitors, PD153035, Genistein. [(125)I]m-IPQ bound to single population of binding sites with high affinity and kinetic parameter. In addition, [(125)I]m-IPQ was bound to EGFR-TK according to the amount of EGFR-TK expression in the tumor. CONCLUSIONS: [(125)I]m-IPQ showed a relatively high tumor accumulation with selective EGFR-TK binding. Moreover, the tumor uptake of [(125)I]m-IPQ might be reflected in the amount of EGFR-TK expression in the tumor. These good characteristics of [(125)I]m-IPQ suggested that a ¹²³I-labeled counterpart, [¹²³I]m-IPQ, would have great potential for EGFR-TK imaging with SPECT. However, the in vivo stability of this compound needs to improve.
