Abstract

The intentional binding of radioligands to albumin gains increasing attention in the context of radiopharmaceutical cancer therapy as it can lead to an enhanced radioactivity uptake into the tumor lesions and, thus, to a potentially improved therapeutic outcome. However, the influence of the radioligand's albumin-binding affinity on the time profile of tumor uptake has been only partly addressed so far. Based on the previously identified <i>N</i><sup>ε</sup>-4-(4-iodophenyl)butanoyl-lysine scaffold, we designed "clickable" lysine-derived albumin binders (cLABs) and determined their dissociation constants toward albumin by novel assay methods. Structure-activity relationships were derived, and selected cLABs were applied for the modification of the somatostatin receptor subtype 2 ligand (Tyr<sup>3</sup>)octreotate. These novel conjugates were radiolabeled with copper-64 and subjected to a detailed <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> radiopharmacological characterization. Overall, the results of this study provide an incentive for further investigations of albumin binders for applications in endoradionuclide therapies.
