| Targets |
Biotin-NH-PSMA-617 specifically targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a transmembrane protein that is highly and consistently overexpressed on the surface of prostate cancer cells, particularly in metastatic, castration-resistant disease. The PSMA-617 moiety provides high binding affinity (KD in the low nanomolar range). The attached biotin group serves as a "molecular handle" for high-affinity capture by streptavidin or avidin in subsequent steps.

| ln Vitro |
PSMA-617 is a ligand for PSMA. PSMA-617 had a markedly enhanced affinity for binding PSMA and demonstrated effective internalization into PCa cells. PSMA-617 is suitable for radioligand-based treatments and PET imaging since it can be tagged with 68Ga, 177Lu, 111In, and 90Y [1].
In vitro, Biotin-NH-PSMA-617, as a PSMA ligand, demonstrates significantly enhanced binding affinity to PSMA and efficient internalization into prostate cancer (PCa) cells. The compound has been shown to be effectively internalized into PSMA-positive cells, a key requirement for targeted drug delivery. The biotin moiety does not interfere with this binding or internalization, making it an ideal pretargeting agent. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Biotin-NH-PSMA-617 has shown promise in pretargeted imaging and therapy studies. In animal models, the biotinylated ligand rapidly localizes to PSMA-expressing tumors. When a radiolabeled streptavidin conjugate is subsequently administered, it quickly clears from the bloodstream and binds to the biotin on the tumor surface, resulting in high tumor-to-background contrast ratios. This pretargeting approach minimizes radiation exposure to healthy tissues.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular binding affinity of Biotin-NH-PSMA-617 for PSMA can be measured using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) or competitive radioligand binding assays. In an SPR assay, recombinant PSMA protein is immobilized on a sensor chip. Increasing concentrations of the compound are flowed over the chip, and the association and dissociation rates (ka and kd) are measured to calculate the KD (equilibrium dissociation constant).
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays are performed using PSMA-expressing human prostate cancer cell lines, such as LNCaP or C4-2. Cells are incubated with various concentrations of Biotin-NH-PSMA-617 at 4degC (for binding) or 37degC (for internalization). Binding and uptake are then detected using a fluorescently labeled streptavidin probe. The signal is quantified by flow cytometry, or the cells are imaged under a fluorescence microscope to visualize internalization.
|
| Animal Protocol |
A typical in vivo animal protocol involves two steps. First, a xenograft mouse model is established using PSMA-positive LNCaP or 22Rv1 cells. Biotin-NH-PSMA-617 is administered intravenously and allowed to circulate for 4-6 hours. Second, a radiolabeled streptavidin conjugate is injected intravenously. After an additional 6-24 hours, tumor uptake and biodistribution are assessed by gamma counting or PET/SPECT imaging of harvested organs.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of Biotin-NH-PSMA-617 are typically conducted as part of the pretargeting workflow. The compound shows rapid blood clearance and specific retention in PSMA-positive tumors. The PEG linker in the compound contributes to optimal pharmacokinetics by improving its water solubility, reducing aggregation, and prolonging circulation time, which enhances tumor uptake before the second step of streptavidin injection.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Dedicated toxicological studies for Biotin-NH-PSMA-617 are not detailed in standard product literature. As a research-use compound, standard safety assessments for acute toxicity are not typically described. However, because it is a targeted ligand that internalizes into PSMA-expressing cells, potential off-target toxicities would be related to PSMA expression in non-cancerous tissues, such as the proximal tubules of the kidney.
