Popis: The potential of both stereoisomers of 11 beta-methoxy-17 alpha-[123I] iodovinylestradiol (E- and Z-[123I]MIVE) as suitable radioligands for imaging of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive human breast tumours was studied. The 17 alpha-[123I]iodovinylestradiol derivatives were prepared stereospecifically by oxidative radioiododestannylation of the corresponding 17 alpha-tri-n-butylstannylvinylestradiol precursors. Both isomers of MIVE showed high in vitro affinity for dimethylbenzanthracene-induced rat and fresh human mammary tumour ER, that of Z-MIVE however being manyfold higher than that of E-MIVE. In vivo distribution studies with E- and Z-[123I]MIVE in normal and tumour-bearing female rats showed ER-mediated uptake and retention in uterus, ovaries, pituitary, hypothalamus and mammary tumours, again the highest for Z-[123I]MIVE. The uterus- and tumour-to-nontarget tissue (far, muscle) uptake ratios were also highest for Z-[123I]MIVE. Additionally, planar whole body imaging of two breast cancer patients 1-2 h after injection of Z-[123I]MIVE showed increased focal uptake at known tumour sites. Therefore, we conclude that Z-[123I]MIVE is a promising radioligand for the diagnostic imaging of ER in human breast cancer.
