Vipivotide tetraxetan  (Synonyms: PSMA-617)

Cat. No.: HY-117410 Purity: 99.46%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Vipivotide tetraxetan (PSMA-617) is a high potent prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) inhibitor, with a Ki of 0.37 nM. Vipivotide tetraxetan (PSMA-617) is designed consisting of three components: the pharmacophore Glutamate-urea-Lysine, the chelator DOTA able to complex both 68Ga or 177Lu, and a linker connecting these two entities. Glutamate-urea-Lysine is the selective pharmacophore to bind to prostate specific membrane antigen.

    IC50 & Target

    Traditional Cytotoxic Agents

     

    In Vitro

    Vipivotide tetraxetan (PSMA-617) demonstrates high radiolytic stability for at least 72 h. A high inhibition potency (equilibrium dissociation constant Ki=2.34±2.94 nM on LNCaP; Ki=0.37±0.21 nM enzymatically determined) and highly efficient internalization into LNCaP cells are demonstrated[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Organ distribution with 68Ga-labeled Vipivotide tetraxetan (PSMA-617) after 1 h (n=3) reveals a high specific uptake in LNCaP tumors and in the kidneys. The high uptake in the kidneys is nearly completely blocked by coinjection of 2 mg of 2-PMPA per kilogram. Other organs such as the liver, lung, and spleen show rather low uptake and no blocking effect, with the exception of the spleen. Tumor-to-background ratios are 7.8 (tumor to blood) and 17.1 (tumor to muscle) at 1 h after injection. As compared with the 68Ga-labeled version, the organ distribution with 177Lu-labeled Vipivotide tetraxetan (PSMA-617) (n=3) show a similar uptake in the LNCaP tumors and in the kidneys. The liver uptake is found to be statistically different. Tumor-to-background ratios determined 1 h after injection show slightly higher values (tumor to blood, 22.1; tumor to muscle, 25.6) than previous organ distribution with 68Ga-labeled Vipivotide tetraxetan (PSMA-617)[1].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (2.00 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (2.00 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
