Abstract: The invention relates to a new therapeutic radiopharmaceutical as an inhibitor of prostate-specific membrane antigen (iPSMA), wherein 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N, N?, N?, N?? -tetraacetic acid (DOTA) bonded to the heterocyclic molecule hydrazinonicotinamide (HYNIC), generates a rigid chemical structure that minimises the number of conformers and intramolecular hydrogen bonds, thereby producing a favourable spatial orientation of the active site (Lys(Nal)—NH—CO—NH-Glu) in the molecule, for biological recognition by the PSMA protein. The new DOTA-HYNIC-iPSMA radiopharmaceutical accumulates, with high affinity in vivo, in tumours that overexpress the PSMA protein, acting as a radiotherapeutic or radiodiagnostic agent. The purpose of the invention is to provide a new specific radiopharmaceutical (molecular target radiopharmaceutical) for the detection and treatment of tumours with PSMA overexpression.
