Complexes were evaluated on PC3-PIP/PC3-flu xenografts.
PSMA-dependent tumor uptake picked at 0.5–1 h p.i, followed by rapid washout. Rapid clearance from the kidneys. High spleen uptake followed by elimination.
Clinical translation: No

Complexes were evaluated on PC3-PIP/PC3-flu xenografts.
[Tc(CO)3]8 is the best of the series. High and stable PSMA-dependent tumor uptake picked at 0.5 h p.i, uptake (28.31 ± 4.4% ID/g at 0.5 h vs. 23.22 ± 6.02% ID/g at 5 h p.i). High kidney uptake followed by slow washout. High spleen uptake followed by elimination.

Complexes were investigated on LNCaP/PC3 xenografts. High and stable tumor uptake ranged from 9.3 to 12.4% ID/g at 1 h p.i and 7.2–11.0% ID/g at 4 h. High tumor-to-blood ratios ranging from 29:1 to 550:1 and tumor–to–muscle ratios ranging from 31:1 to 157:1 at 4 h. Liver and intestinal uptake were <1% ID/g for all compounds. Rapid clearance from the kidneys. Low spleen uptake.
Clinical translation: Yes

a PSMA inhibitory affinity was determined using the corresponding rhenium complexes. Data are reported as *Ki (nM); b PSMA inhibitory affinity was determined by using the ligands, and data are reported as Ki (nM). c Binding specificity of 99mTc-labeled PSMA-i was determined by saturation binding analysis in the presence of the corresponding rhenium compound or 2-PMPA. Data are reported as Kd (nM).
