  • Publication number: 20080213172
    Abstract: Conjugates, methods and kits are described for imaging tissues and organs that express one or more peptidases. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a series of di-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (D) ligands, which can bind M(CO)3+ [M=Tc or Re], were coupled to lisinopril (L). Aliphatic tethers with varying number of methylene groups (3, 4, 5, and 7; D(C4)L, D(C5)L, D(C6)L, and D(C8)L, respectively) were utilized, with in vitro inhibitory activity increasing with increasing number of methylene groups. The D(C8)L conjugate was observed to be significantly more potent than D(C4)L. In vivo specificity for ACE was studied in both tissue distribution and gamma imaging studies, demonstrating localization in tissues with high ACE content. Localization was blocked by pretreatment with lisinopril.
