Radiometals including gallium-68 (⁶⁸Ga), copper-64 (⁶⁴Cu), and indium-111 (¹¹¹In). NOTA is a bifunctional chelator that forms strong, stable complexes with various radiometals through its three acetic acid arms and nitrogen-rich macrocyclic ring. The compound does not have a biological target but rather functions as a metal-chelating agent for the development of radiopharmaceuticals and molecular imaging probes. Its chelation properties enable the stable coordination of radiometals for PET imaging applications.

| ln Vitro |
NOTA is a bifunctional chelate that acts as a framework to construct PET imaging tools. It forms stable complexes with radiometals including gallium-68, copper-64, and indium-111. The compound can be used for probe design and signal amplification via the multivalent effect. NOTA is used in research on multiple myeloma, breast cancer, lymphoma, and myocardial infarction. Its strong and stable chelation properties make it valuable for the development of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo studies of NOTA are primarily related to its use as a chelator for radiopharmaceuticals in preclinical imaging studies. NOTA-conjugated probes labeled with radiometals such as ⁶⁸Ga or ⁶⁴Cu are administered to animal models for PET imaging. Biodistribution studies assess the uptake of NOTA-based probes in target tissues and organs. The compound's strong chelation properties ensure stable radiometal complexation in vivo, minimizing transchelation and improving imaging contrast.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell-based assays for NOTA involve characterization of its metal chelation properties. Radiometal complexation efficiency is assessed by incubating NOTA with radiometals (e.g., ⁶⁸Ga, ⁶⁴Cu, ¹¹¹In) under various conditions (pH, temperature, time) and measuring complex formation by radio-TLC or radio-HPLC. Stability of the radiometal-NOTA complex is assessed in serum or buffer over time. Standard analytical methods including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry are used for compound characterization and purity assessment.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays for NOTA are typically performed using NOTA-conjugated probes rather than the free chelator. Cells expressing specific targets (e.g., cancer cell surface markers) are incubated with NOTA-conjugated targeting ligands labeled with radiometals. Cell binding, internalization, and retention are assessed by gamma counting or autoradiography. Cytotoxicity of NOTA-based probes is assessed using standard cell viability assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies of NOTA are conducted in animal models for preclinical PET imaging. NOTA-conjugated probes labeled with radiometals are administered intravenously to mice or rats. PET imaging is performed at various time points to assess probe biodistribution and target engagement. Ex vivo biodistribution studies are conducted by dissecting tissues and measuring radioactivity by gamma counting. Pharmacokinetic parameters are determined from blood samples collected at various time points.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
NOTA has a molecular formula of C₁₂H₂₁N₃O₆ and a molecular weight of approximately 303.31 g/mol. The CAS number is 56491-86-2. It is also known as 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid. The compound is a bifunctional chelator with three acetic acid arms and a nitrogen-rich macrocyclic ring. It should be stored under recommended conditions. It is intended for research use only.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicity data for NOTA are limited. As a chelating agent, it may deplete essential metal ions at high concentrations. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of personal protective equipment.
