  • Radiolabeled vasoactive intestinal peptide analogs for diagnosis and radiotherapy
    Patent number: 6608174
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses radiolabeled peptide analogs of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) labeled with a radionuclide useful for imaging target sites within mammalian living systems. The invention particularly provides radiolabeled VIP derivatives that bind selectively to the VIP receptor on target cells. Specifically, the invention relates to the radiolabeling of VIP-receptor specific agents and their subsequent use for radiodiagnostic and radiotherapeutic purposes. The invention encompasses methods for radiolabeling these peptides with radio-nuclides and the use of these peptides as scintigraphic imaging agents.
