Abstract
INTRODUTION:: [Ga]Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 showed a clear gain in sensitivity for lesion detection in the biological recurrence of prostate cancer as compared to the standard [F]fluorocholine radiopharmaceutical. To meet the strong demand for [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, we aimed to optimize an automated radiolabeling process by evaluating the influence of different key parameters on radiochemical purity and radiochemical yield. METHODS The radiosynthesis of [Ga]Ga PSMA-11 was performed using a Trasis MiniAio synthesizer and a Ge/Ga GalliaPharm generator supplied by Eckert & Ziegler, Berlin, Germany. Optimized labeling parameters were evaluated by variation of sodium acetate concentrations and temperature of radiolabeling as well as the purification process. RESULTS For each condition tested, radiochemical purity was higher than 99% in the final vial without batch failure, indicating a robust and fast radiosynthesis process. Radiosynthesis without the solid phase extraction purification process at room temperature in less than 5 min resulted in a radiolabeling efficiency of over 99% and remained stable at least 4 h without manual processing to limit operator radiation exposure. CONCLUSION The procedure was completely automated and provided a high radiochemical yield. It can be performed several times a day, facilitating the clinical demand of this radiopharmaceutical.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The authors describe the newly proposed synthesis technique for the gallium-68 (Ga-68)-labeled tracer ([Ga]Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC) for imaging expression of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). An effort was applied to design the lyophilized cold kit (isoPROtrace-11) as a time-saving technique resulting in increased radiochemical yields. PROCEDURES The initial material for labeling was obtained from a Ge/Ga-generator. For labeling with the lyophilized cold kit isoPROtrace-11, 2.5 ml 0.1 M HCl of the middle Ga-68 elution fraction were added to the kit, shook for dissolving the vial's contents and kept for 5 minutes at room temperature. A systematic comparison was carried out between results obtained with the cold kit technique and with previously used Modular-Lab module concerning the radiochemical yield, purity, and the time of producing. RESULTS Automated module-involved synthesis of [Ga]Ga-PSMA-HBED- CC resulted in a radiochemical yield of 84.2 ± 6.3% and purity of >95% after 25 minutes. The room temperature cold kit gave a radiochemical yield of >98% and purity of >95% after 5 minutes. CONCLUSION Using the kit method reduced the labeling time. The cold kit method increased production efficiency because less of the eluted Ga-68 was wasted.

Abstract
A novel europium ligand 2,2',2'',2'''-(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl) bis (methylene) bis (azanetriyl) tetra acetic acid (BC-EDTA) was synthesized and characterized. It shows an emission spectrum peak at 610 nm when it is excited at 360 nm, with a large Stock shift (250 nm). It is covalently coated on the surface of a bare silica nanosphere containi free amino groups, using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-Hydroxysuccinimide. We also observed an interesting phenomenon that when BC-EDTA is labeled with a silica nanosphere, the chelate shows different excitation spectrum peaks of about 295 nm. We speculate that the carboxyl has a significant influence on its excitation spectrum. The BC-EDTA/Eu3+coated nanosphere could be used as a fluorescent probe for time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay. We labeled the antibody with the fluorescent nanosphere to develop a nanosphere based hepatitis B surface antigen as a time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay reagent, which is very easy to operate and eliminates potential contamination of Eu3+ contained in the environment. The analytical and functional sensitivities are 0.0037 μg/L and 0.08 μg/L (S/N≥2.0) respectively. The detection range is 0.08-166.67 μg/L, which is much wider than that of ELISA (0.2-5 μg/L). It is comparable to the commercial dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoro-immunoassay system (DELFIA) reagents (0.2-145 μg/L). We propose that it can fulfill clinical applications.

Simultaneous extraction of Cr(VI) and Cu(II) from humic acid with new synthesized EDTA derivatives. CHEMOSPHERE 2012; 88:730-735. [PMID: 22555067 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2012.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2011] [Revised: 04/01/2012] [Accepted: 04/02/2012] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Soil washing is one of the few permanent treatment alternatives for removing metal contaminants. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and its salts (EDTA) is very effective at removing cationic metals and has been utilized globally. However it is ineffective for anionic metal contaminants or metals bound to soil organic matter. The simultaneous removal of cationic and anionic metal contaminants by soil washing is difficult due to differences in their properties. The present study evaluated the potential of a washing process using two synthesized EDTA-derivatives, C(6)HEDTA (2,2'-((2-((carboxymethyl)(2-(hexanoyloxy)ethyl)amino)ethyl)azanediyl)diacetic acid) and C(12)HEDTA (2,2'-((2-((carboxymethyl) (2-(dodecanoyloxy)ethyl)amino)ethyl)azanediyl)diacetic acid), which consist of a hydrophilic polycarboxylic moiety and a hydrophobic moiety with a monoalkyl ester group. A series of equilibrium batch experiments at room temperature were conducted to investigate the efficacy of C(6)HEDTA and C(12)HEDTA as extractants for both oxyanion Cr(VI) and cationic Cu(II). Results showed that either C(6)HEDTA or C(12)HEDTA can extract both Cr(VI) and Cu(II) from humic acid simultaneously. However, C(6)HEDTA was less effective for Cr(VI) probably because it has no surface activities to increase solubility of humic acid, like C(12)HEDTA. Extraction of Cr(VI) was mainly attributed to the decreased surface tension and enhanced solubility of organic matter. Extraction of Cu(II) was attributed to both the Cu(II) chelation and enhanced solubility of humic acid. It was demonstrated that the hydrophilic polycarboxylic moiety of C(12)HEDTA chelates cations while the monoalkyl ester group produces surface active properties that enhance the solubility of humic acid.

Abstract
The low sensitivity of simple CZE for detecting metal ions is a long-standing problem even when an LIF detection system is employed. We have successfully achieved an ultrasensitive CE-LIF using a simple CZE mode (typical detection limit: 10(-11)-10(-10) mol/dm(3)). Both the design of a newly synthesized ligand and the combination of a precapillary derivatizing technique with an on-capillary ternary complexing technique have enabled us to achieve this extremely low LOD and high resolution of large metal complexes. The direct fluorescent detection of the paramagnetic metal ions was achieved for the first time despite their intrinsic fluorescent quenching nature. The fluorescent ligand (L) consists of a polyaminocarboxylate chelating moiety, a strongly emissive fluorescein moiety and a spacer connecting the two portions. The migration behavior of various metal-L complexes was investigated. The resolution among the complexes was improved by the introduction of a ternary complex equilibrium of the kinetically stable mother complexes with OH(-) ion. The analytical potential of our simple system was examined, and it was proved that the system was one of the most sensitive methods without the need for any preconcentration process.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gastrointestinal (GI) nucleases are responsible for a rapid presystemic degradation of orally administered transgenes. Within the current study, the activity of these degrading enzymes as well as the effect of various nuclease inhibitors on the degradation process were evaluated in order to assess their potential as auxiliary agents in oral gene delivery. METHODS Digestion assays of pDNA with DNaseI and in GI juices were performed in absence and presence of inhibitors. Consequently, a chitosan conjugate with covalently bound ethylendiaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrat (EDTA) was synthesized and its nuclease inhibitory properties were evaluated. RESULTS Small intestinal juice was shown to possess a nuclease activity per millilitre corresponding to 0.02 Kunitz units of DNaseI. Inhibition studies revealed that inhibitory activity followed the ranking: EDTA > sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) > aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) > poly (acrylic acid) > cysteine. The chitosan-EDTA conjugate offered good nuclease inhibiting properties. CONCLUSION This study determined the nuclease activity of native porcine small intestinal juice as well as enterocytes homogenate. Moreover, several promising strategies to overcome this enzymatic barrier were identified.

Abstract
Coupling of ion chromatography with electrospray mass spectrometry (IC-MS) is a simple, sensitive and quick method for the determination of polar organic traces in water samples without derivatization. Analysis of the chelating agents ethylenediamino tetraacetate (EDTA) and diethylenetriamino pentaacetate (DTPA) in aqueous samples was done by IC-MS on an anion exchange column after simple sample preparation steps. Quantification down to a concentration level of 1 microg L(-1) even in wastewater influents and effluents was achieved utilizing 13C marked internal standards and measuring the individual [M - H+]- and stable [M - 4H+ + Fe3+]- cluster ions. The method was validated against certified, but more time consuming routine methods. Applying this method a series of several European water samples were analyzed for EDTA and DTPA indicating their nature as polar persistent pollutants.

Abstract
The 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinones are chelating agents of current interest due to their high affinity for hard metal ions and potential clinical applications as metal-decorporation agents. A new bis-(3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone) derivative of EDTA have been developed, and herein we describe the results of solution studies to determine the protonation constants and the partition coefficient. Biodistribution studies, performed with 67Ga-overload mice, showed rapid clearance of the radiotracer from the body, thus indicating that the new ligand should be a quite effective agent for the in vivo aluminium removal.

Abstract
We describe the synthetic route to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) derivatives that can be attached to surface-exposed thiol functional groups of cysteine residues in proteins, via a methylthiosulfonate moiety that is connected in a stereochemically unique way to the C-1 carbon atom of EDTA. Such compounds can be used to align proteins in solution without the need to add liquid crystalline media, and are, therefore, of great interest for the NMR spectroscopic analysis of biomolecules. The binding constant for the paramagnetic tag to lanthanide ions was determined by measuring luminescence. For the Tb(+3)-ligand complex, a K(b) value of 6.5 x 10(17) M(-1) was obtained. This value is in excellent agreement with literature values for the related EDTA compound. In addition, it could be shown that there is no significant reduction in the luminescence intensity upon addition of a 10(4) excess of Ca2+ ions, indicating that this paramagnetic tag is compatible with buffers containing high concentrations of divalent alkaline earth ions.

Abstract
Two lanthanide complexes, namely 5-aminosalicylic acid ethylenediaminetetraacetate europium(III) (5As-EDTA-Eu3+) and 4-aminosalicylic acid ethylenediaminetetraacetate terbium(III), were evaluated for the analysis of carbonic anhydrase, human serum albumin (HSA), and gamma-globulin. Quantitative analysis is based on their luminescence enhancement upon protein binding and qualitative analysis on their lifetime capability to recognize the binding protein. Analytical figures of merit are presented for the three proteins. The limits of detection with 5As-EDTA-Eu3+ are at the parts per billion level. Partial least square regression analysis is used to determine HSA and gamma-globulin in binary mixtures without previous separation at the concentration ranges typically found in clinical tests of human blood serum.

Abstract
We wish to report the synthesis and metal complexation properties of new radionuclide chelating agents for use in nuclear medicine. The strategy includes the facile preparation of rigid analogues of DTPA and TTHA possessing an aromatic ring. The aromatic structure used increased the stability of the complexes formed (pre-organization concept) and they are easily functionalised for attaching to any support. The poly(amino)poly(carboxylic) acids, Ph-DTPA (5a) and Ph-TTHA (5b) were obtained in five steps from phenylenediamine as the starting material with overall yields of 42 and 20%, respectively. The key step in this synthetic process is the preparation of tri- and tetra-amino compounds, 3a and 3b, respectively. In order to assess the ability of both ligands to complex with different metals ((111)In, (153)Sm, (90)Y, (177)Lu, (213)Bi, (225)Ac), along with their suitability for use in nuclear medicine, we used a number of complementary tests. We were able to demonstrate the high complexation capacity of Ph-DTPA (5a) with a broad range of radionuclides in a slightly acidic medium. In vitro stability studies show the high stability of Ph-DTPA with (111)In in human serum, a necessary condition for all medical applications. The protonation constant (log K(H)(i)) of Ph-DTPA (5a) was determined by potentiometric methods.

Abstract
A new kind of surfactant named N-hexadecyl ethylenediamine triacetic acid (HED3A) was synthesized from anhydrous ethylenediamine, 1-bromohexadecane, and chloroacetic acid. Testing showed stability of HED3A in hard water, wetting power, dispersing power, and surface tension increased along with pH value. Stability in hard water of trisodium N-hexadecyl ethylenediamine triacetate (3NaHED3A) was at level 4, which was better than that of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). Other properties of 3NaHED3A including wetting power, dispersing power, emulsifying power, and surface tension had intermediate value between SDS, LAS, AES, peregal-O, and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC). The ethylenediamine triacetic acid (ED3A) group in 3NaHED3A can chelate many kinds of metal ions, which indicates a promising application prospect in many fields including metal anticorrosion, corrosion control agent, additives in electroplating solution, and ore selection and solid surface treatment.

Abstract
The formation of triple-helical structures of DNA is based on sequence-specific recognition of oligopyrimidine.oligopurine stretches of double-helical DNA. Triple-helical structures can be stabilized by DNA-binding ligands. Benzoquinoquinoxaline (BQQ) derivatives are among the most potent intercalating-type agents known to stabilize DNA triple-helical structures. We previously reported the conversion of BQQ into a triplex-directed DNA cleaving agent, namely BQQ-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), by coupling of 6-(3-aminopropylamino)BQQ to a suitable ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid derivative, and we demonstrated the ability of this conjugate to cause double-stranded cleavage of DNA at the triplex site. However, this prototype derivative BQQ-EDTA conjugate showed lower affinity towards triplex DNA than BQQ itself. In the light of this observation, and guided by molecular modeling studies, we synthesized a second generation of BQQ-EDTA conjugates based on 6-[bis(2-aminoethyl)amino]- and 6-(3,3'-diamino-N-methyldipropylamino)-BQQ derivatives. We confirmed by DNA melting experiments that the new conjugates displayed an increased specific affinity towards triple helices when compared to the previously synthesized BQQ-EDTA. In addition, the efficiency of these new agents in triplex-specific binding and cleavage was demonstrated by triplex-directed double-stranded cleavage of plasmid DNA.

Abstract
Physicochemical analysis and Monte Carlo simulations were used to identify structural features which prevent oral absorption of HBED, a potent iron chelator. In water the dominant conformations of HBED involve the hydrophobic collapse of the two aromatic rings. These conformations are favored in polar media because they expose the polar phenolic hydroxy groups to the solvent and partially shield the nonpolar aromatic rings. In a less polar solvent such as chloroform, a symmetrical H-bond network between the carboxylates and the amines dominates the conformational space. This leads to the exposure of the phenolic hydroxy groups to the solvent, which is unfavorable for solvation. The low solubility of HBED in nonpolar solvents was confirmed experimentally by determination of the partition coefficients in octanol, chloroform, and cyclohexane and may explain the poor membrane permeability of this compound. The high conformational stability which disfavors partitioning into phospholipids is mainly due to the symmetrical H-bond network. Potentiometric titrations of a monoester of HBED in MeOH/water indicate that the protonation sequence was changed compared to that of the parent compound, suggesting that the symmetrical H-bond network was disrupted. Conformational analysis in chloroform confirmed that, in contrast to HBED, no symmetric interaction between the carboxylate and the nitrogen amines is possible in the half-ester and a variety of conformations which allow partial shielding of the polar phenolic OH groups are energetically possible. This theoretical model predicting a better solubility of the half-esters in nonpolar solvents was supported by the large increase in the partition coefficients in octanol, chloroform, and cyclohexane measured experimentally. The high absorbability predicted by physicochemical and computer simulation methods was corroborated by in vivo experiments in marmoset monkeys where the monoethyl ester derivative of HBED was well-absorbed orally while the parent compound was nearly ineffective in the same model.

Abstract
N,N'-Bis(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (1) was recently described as a new type of iron chelator for protection against oxidative damage. It has a low affinity for iron, but the corresponding iron complex undergoes a site-specific oxidation by hydrogen peroxide through intramolecular aromatic hydroxylation into a highly stable iron phenolato complex, which does not catalyze hydroxyl radical formation. The purpose of this local activation process is to minimize toxicity compared to strong iron chelators, which may interfere with normal iron metabolism. 1 efficiently protects biological molecules against oxidative damage in vitro but not intact cells because of poor membrane permeability. We show here that, among a series of prodrug esters and lipophilic analogues, membrane-permeant N,N'-bis(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid diacetoxymethyl ester (7) protects human skin fibroblasts against hydrogen peroxide toxicity with an IC(50) of 3 microM. These results thus demonstrate that, providing sufficient intracellular chelator concentration is reached, 1 efficiently protects cells against the deleterious effects of hydrogen peroxide. This strategy of oxidative activation should help the design of new chelators with better safety margins, which may be useful against oxidative damage under conditions where a prolonged administration is needed.

Abstract
The feasibility of imaging renal function with 55Co-ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and dynamic positron emission tomography was investigated. A group of normal Wistar rats was injected intravenously with 55Co-EDTA and underwent dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in order to study the biodistribution. The time-activity curves of the heart (blood pool), both kidneys, liver, and bladder were observed. In two animals, blood and urinary clearances of 55Co-EDTA were compared with those for 51Cr-EDTA. In one animal, unilateral reduction in kidney function was induced and the right/left ratio for the kidneys was determined. The time-activity curves showed that 55Co-EDTA cleared rapidly from the blood pool (heart), whereas prompt and high target-to-background ratios for both kidneys were obtained. The entire tracer was cleared from the renal parenchyma by urinary excretion and collection of the activity in the bladder. No specific activity uptake was noticed in any other organ or tissue. The clearances of 55Co-EDTA and 51Cr-EDTA in blood were not significantly different, showing that the nature of the M++ has no influence on the in vivo behavior of EDTA. 55Co can be produced easily by cyclotron irradiation and 55Co-EDTA is a promising physiological tracer for nephrological research using PET.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Double-helical DNA can be recognized sequence specifically by oligonucleotides that bind in the major groove, forming a local triple helix. Triplex-forming oligonucleotides are new tools in molecular and cellular biology and their development as gene-targeting drugs is under intensive study. Intramolecular triple-helical structures (H-DNA) are expected to play an important role in the control of gene expression. There are currently no good probes available for investigating triple-helical structures. We previously reported that a pentacyclic benzoquinoquinoxaline derivative (BQQ) can strongly stabilize triple helices. RESULTS We have designed and synthesized the first triple-helix-specific DNA cleaving reagent by covalently attaching BQQ to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The intercalative binding of BQQ should position EDTA in the minor groove of the triple helix. In the presence of Fe(2+) and a reducing agent, the BQQ-EDTA conjugate can selectively cleave an 80 base pair (bp) DNA fragment at the site where an oligonucleotide binds to form a local triple helix. The selectivity of the BQQ-EDTA conjugate for a triplex structure was sufficiently high to induce oligonucleotide-directed DNA cleavage at a single site on a 2718 bp plasmid DNA. CONCLUSIONS This new class of structure-directed DNA cleaving reagents could be useful for cleaving DNA at specific sequences in the presence of a site-specific, triple-helix-forming oligonucleotide and also for investigating triple-helical structures, such as H-DNA, which could play an important role in the control of gene expression in vivo.

Abstract
In this study a (poly)peptide drug delivery system providing a protective effect towards serine pancreatic proteases was generated. Tablets containing insulin (3.3%), chitosan-EDTA (56.7%), chitosan-EDTA Bowman Birk Inhibitor (= BBI) conjugate (10%) and mannitol (30%) were homogenised in a mortar and compressed to tablets. The protective effect of this dosage form for the incorporated model drug was evaluated in vitro. Tablets were therefore incubated with an artificial intestinal fluid containing trypsin (1350 spectrophotometric BAEE units/ml), chymotrypsin (3.6 BTEE units/ml) and elastase (0.14 succinyl-Ala-Ala-Ala-p-nitroanilide units/ml) for 4.5 h at 37 degrees C. Following analysis of the dosage form demonstrated that 58.6+/-26.8% (mean +/- SD; n = 3) insulin in lateral parts and 44.4+/-12.4% (mean +/- SD: n = 3) insulin in inner parts of the swollen carrier-matrix were degraded, whereas insulin was completely metabolised in lateral parts and by 90.3+/-12.5% (mean +/- SD: n = 3) in inner parts of tablets without the chitosan-EDTA BBI conjugate. As chitosan-EDTA also provides a protective effect towards zinc-dependent proteases, the delivery system described in this study should therefore guarantee a protection towards the most abundant intestinal proteases. It might be a promising formulation for the peroral administration of peptide and protein drugs.

Abstract
To determine the nature of the mechanism by which certain derived ruthenium (Ru) complexes induce regression in tumour growth, we have investigated the possibility that this mechanism was associated with an increase of superoxide anion (O2-. production by phagocytic cells, which are usually found in tumour nodes. Here we present evidence that a newly synthesized complex, Ru3+-propylene-1, 2-diaminotetra-acetic acid (Ru-PDTA), derived from Ru and the sequestering ligand (PDTA), specifically stimulates O2-. production. This increase was associated with the translocation of cytosolic factors p47(phox) and p67(phox) of NADPH oxidase to the plasma membrane. The Ru-PDTA-complex-dependent O2-. production was abrogated by staurosporine, partially inhibited by diphenylene iodonium, and it was insensitive to pertussis toxin or dibutyryl cyclic AMP pretreatment. An increase of cytosolic Ca2+ levels were also detected in neutrophils treated with the Ru-PDTA complex. Also, Ru-PDTA complex induced the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues of several proteins as assessed by Western blotting. Present data are consistent with the possibility that Ru-PDTA-dependent antitumour effects are due in part to the complex's ability to stimulate the release of toxic oxygen metabolites from phagocytic cells infiltrating tumour masses.

Abstract
A convenient and straightforward synthesis of an amino acid analog, [p-(N-alpha-Fmoc-L-aspartic acid-beta-amido)benzyl]-EDTA tetra-tert-butyl ester, compatible with Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis strategy is described. This reagent was used to incorporate p-aminobenzyl-EDTA at an internal sequence position in an HIV-1 Tat protein fragment. After cleavage from the resin and standard deprotection, the peptide was purified by high-performance liquid chromatography and characterized by mass spectrometry. Through this methodology, flexible linkers of different lengths and containing various structures can be placed between the alpha-carbon backbone of peptides and metal chelates. These peptides will provide a new class of affinity cleaving reagents that can be directed against protein and nucleic acid targets.

Abstract
Convenient methodology for preparation and conjugation of the protein-cutting iron chelate iron (S)-1-(p-bromoacetamidobenzyl) ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Fe-BABE) is given. This formulation of the reagent can be handled in a manner analogous to many other protein-labeling reagents, such as fluorescent probes or cross-linkers. By taking advantage of the recently discovered peptide hydrolysis reaction, the chelate may be tethered to a single site (e.g., a cysteine side chain) and used to map its proximity to individual peptide bonds by automated Edman sequencing of the protein fragments produced. The method is illustrated by conjugation of Fe-BABE to the carboxy terminal domain (amino acid residues 234-329) of the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase alpha subunit. The molecular mass of the protein conjugate was confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Immunoconjugates sometimes suffer changes in immunoreactivity and tumor targeting because the chelators used interfere with antigen binding. To try to circumvent such problems, two new homobifunctional chelating agents, 2,6-bis[p-[(beta-maleimidopropionyl) amino]benzyl]diethylenetriamine- N,N,N',N",N"-pentaacetic acid (MPBz-DTPA) and 2,9-bis [p-(beta-maleimidopropionyl)amino]benzyl] triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N',N',N",N"-hexaacetic acid (MPBz-TTHA), were synthesized for chelation of 111In and 90Y metal ions. Each of the new chelators contains two maleimido functional groups substituted at the carbon backbone. In this study, the overall chemical yields for MPBz-DTPA and MPBz-TTHA were approximately 5 and 4%, respectively. The intermediate and final compounds were purified by flash chromatography and fully characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Chemical modification of the maleimido group on each of these derivatives allowed specific conjugation with a sulfhydryl group at the hinge region of an antibody molecule and conjugation with other peptides. For instance, the two Fab' fragments, through their hinge-region sulfhydryl groups, could covalently attach to a homobifunctional chelator via thioether linkage to generate a Fab'-S-chelator-S-Fab' immunoconjugate. By design, immunoconjugates containing these new chelators will contain only one chelator derivative at a known region of antibody away from the antigen binding site. Consequently, these chelators may minimize changes in the immunoreactivity and improve tumor targeting of immunoconjugates that contain them.

Abstract
N,N'-bis-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl) ethylenediamine N,N,-diacetic acid dihydrochloride (OR10141) is a member of a recently described series of "oxidative stress activatable iron chelators." These chelators have a relatively low affinity for iron but can be site-specifically oxidized, in situations mimicking oxidative stress in vitro, into species with strong iron-binding capacity. It is hoped that this local activation process will minimise toxicity compared to strong iron chelators that may interfere with iron metabolism. The present paper describes the results of experiments aimed at characterising oxidative reactions between iron-OR10141 complexes and hydrogen peroxide. Incubation of ascorbate and hydrogen peroxide with the ferric chelate of OR10141 in neutral aqueous solution yields a purple solution with a chromophore at 560 nm, which is consistent with an o-hydroxylation of one of the trimethoxybenzyl rings. Oxidation of OR10141 also takes place, although more slowly, by incubating hydrogen peroxide with ferric OR10141 complex in the absence of reductant. HPLC analysis shows that OR10141 is consumed during the reaction and transformed principally into N-(2-hydroxy 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl) N'-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl) ethylenediamine N,N'-diacetic acid. Minor products are also formed, some of which were identified by mass spectrometry. The protective effect of OR10141 in vitro against DNA single strand breaks, protein damage, and lipid peroxidation induced by Fenton chemistry suggests that this compound is able to compete for iron with biological molecules and, thus, that this strategy of protection against oxidative stress is feasible. In addition, preliminary results showing protective effects of OR10141 dimethyl ester against toxicity induced by hydrogen peroxide in cell culture are described. It is concluded that OR10141 and related prodrugs might be useful in vivo in chronic situations involving oxidative stress.

Abstract
More specific radiopharmaceuticals are currently being evaluated for the in vivo detection and therapy of breast cancer. The human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) represents a good radiopharmaceutical candidate in view of the reported overexpression of its receptor by breast cancer cells. To enhance the imaging potential of this peptide ligand, a synthetic strategy was developed to rapidly create small peptides containing a large number of metal-chelating groups that can be readily coupled to hEGF. A prototypic 15-amino acid branched peptide containing four EDTA-like chelator groups was assembled by solid phase peptide synthesis. The metal chelating peptide, abbreviated MCP-4-EDTA-SH, was selectively incorporated into hEGF(1-51) at its unique N-terminus amino group. The coupling of a single MCP-4-EDTA-SH into hEGF(1-51) was confirmed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, western blotting, and amino acid analysis. The protein conjugate was successfully labeled with 111In. Its specific binding to EGF receptors present on MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells confirmed that such a construct retains the properties of the natural ligand.

Abstract
The compound [[Pt(trpy)]2Arg-EDTA]+ is synthesized in five steps, purified, and characterized by 1H, 13C, and 195Pt NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, UV-vis spectrophotometry, and elemental analysis. The binuclear [[(Pt(trpy)]2Arg]3+ moiety binds to double-stranded DNA, and the chelating EDTA moiety holds metal cations. In the presence of ferrous ions and the reductant dithiothreitol, the new compound cleaves DNA. It cleaves a single strand in the pBR322 plasmid nearly as efficiently as methidiumrpropyl-EDTA (MPE), and it cleaves a restriction fragment of the XP10 plasmid nonselectively and more efficiently than [Fe(EDTA)]2-. The mechanism of cleavage was studied in control experiments involving different transition-metal ions, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glucose oxidase with glucose, metal-sequestering agents, and deaeration. These experiments indicate that adventitious iron and copper ions, superoxide anion, and hydrogen peroxide are not involved and that dioxygen is required. The cleavage apparently is done by hydroxyl radicals generated in the vicinity of the DNA molecule. The reagent [[Pt(trypy)]2Arg-EDTA]+ differs from methidiumpropyl-EDTA in not containing an intercalator. This difference in binding modes between the binuclear platinum(II) complex and the planar heterocycle may cause useful differences between the two reagents in cleavage of nucleic acids.

Abstract
As a prerequisite for preparing bispecific antibody conjugates containing anti-tumor and anti-metal chelate binding sites that can be used for pretargeted immunoscintigraphy, monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) have been raised against an octahedral metal chelate synthetized from gallium (Ga) and the hexadentate ligand N,N'bis[2-hydroxy 5-(ethylene beta carboxy) benzyl] ethylenediamine N,N' diacetic acid (Ga-HBED-CC). With use of the Farr assay, binding studies with the 67Ga-labeled chelate and three clones of anti-chelate Mabs showed that none of the Mabs were able to precipitate more than 50% of the Ga-chelate, suggesting an enatiomerism of the Ga-chelate and a sensitivity of the Mabs to either one or the other chelate enantiomer. This could be confirmed by comparing the circular dichroism spectra of the Ga-chelate fractions that passed affinity columns containing the Mabs immobilized on sepharose without retention. With use of a Ga-HBED-CC enantiomer, whole-body retention in mice, preinjected with the corresponding anti-metal chelate Mab of ca. 70% ID, was measured compared to 2.1% retention in mice not preinjected with the Mab. Due to the high affinity of chelate-to-Mab binding in vivo, bispecific antibody conjugates prepared from the fragments of the anti-Ga-chelate Mab might be suitable for pretargeted immunoscintigraphy with the short-lived positron-emitter 68Ga.

Abstract
A conjugate in which the steroid nucleus of cholic acid was linked to EDTA via an 11-atom spacer was obtained by reacting the succinimidyl ester of cholic acid with the amine formed by reaction of a benzyl isothiocyanate derivative of EDTA with N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)ethylenediamine and subsequent deprotection. Potentiometric titration studies with model complexes showed that the EDTA moiety retained the ability to form 1:1 chelates of high thermodynamic stability, although formation constants were some 3-4 log K units lower for complexes of the conjugate than for the analogous chelates with underivatized EDTA. A complex formed between the cholic acid-EDTA conjugate and 111InIII was clearly rapidly into the liver when injected iv into mice, with subsequent excretion from the liver into the gastrointestinal tract being complete within 1 h of injection. Radioscintigraphic imaging studies conducted in a rabbit given the 111In-labeled conjugate also showed early liver uptake followed by rapid clearance from the liver into the intestine, with good visualization of the gallbladder in images obtained at 20-25 min postinjection. It is concluded that conjugation to cholic acid provides a useful means for the hepatobiliary delivery of EDTA chelates that otherwise exhibit predominantly extracellular distribution and renal clearance.

Abstract
N,N'-Bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1-(4-bromoacetamidobenzyl)-1,2 -ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (Br phi HBED) was synthesized to bind trivalent metals with high stability constants and to bifunctionally link the radiometal with antibodies (Ab). This ligand has advantages over our previously reported N-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)-N'-(2-hydroxy-5- bromoacetamidobenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (BrMe2HBED). Br phi HBED has the protein coupling group BrCH2CONH removed from the sterically hindered ring position with the addition of a benzyl group in the linker arm; this provides further distance between the protein and the chelate. We have also observed that the chelate was more stable than BrMe2HBED, so it can be stored longer without loss of observed chemical properties. The improved chelate design allows for more rapid radiolabeling with [111In]indium citrate (1 h at room temperature) with higher radiochemical yields. Br phi HBED was conjugated with an anticolorectal carcinoma monoclonal antibody (1A3) where radiolabeling yields of 75-90% were obtained and the antibody retained its immunoreactivity (ca. 90%) under all labeling conditions studied. Biodistribution studies in a hamster transplanted tumor (GW39) model demonstrated a high tumor uptake when compared to those of 125I-1A3 or 111In-DTPA cyclic anhydride-1A3. Blood clearance of 111In-Br phi HBED-1A3 was rapid and combined with its high target uptake has higher target to nontarget ratios in vivo at various time intervals when compared with that of 1A3 radiolabeled with either 111In-DTPA cyclic anhydride or 125I.

Moreover, we tabulate dissociation constants or KD's for BAPTA and eleven BAPTA-type buffers, compare most of them with an empirical curve based upon so-called Hammett values, and predict KD's for several still unsynthesized but potentially valuable buffers.

Abstract
A series of bifunctional chelating agents--substituted benzyl derivatives of diethylenetriaminetetra acids--was synthesized. These agents were used to label antibodies with a lanthanide, Eu3+. The stabilities of their antibody conjugates were evaluated under different conditions and the dissociation rates of Eu3+ were measured at pH 3.2, which is used for fluorescence enhancement in time-resolved fluoroimmunoassays. The synthesized complexing agents were also compared to other reagents used for metal labelings, to diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-dianhydride, and to p-isothiocyanatophenyl-EDTA. The asymmetric p-isothiocyanatobenzyl derivative of diethylenetriaminetetraacetic acid-Eu3+ showed reasonably good stability at neutral pH but released Eu3+ rapidly in the acidic fluorescence enhancement solution. This makes it an optimal choice for chelate labeling in dissociation-based time-resolved fluoroimmunoassays.

Abstract
Bifunctional derivatives of the chelating agents ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, in which a p-isothiocyanatobenzyl moiety is attached at the methylene carbon atom of one carboxymethyl arm, was synthesized by reductive alkylation of the relevant polyamine with (p-nitrophenyl)pyruvic acid followed by carboxymethylation, reduction of the nitro group, and reaction with thiophosgene. The resulting isothiocyanate derivatives reacted with monoclonal antibody B72.3 to give antibody-chelator conjugates containing 3 mol of chelator per mole of immunoglobulin, without significant loss of immunological activity. Such conjugates, labeled with the radioisotopic metal indium-111, selectively bound a human colorectal carcinoma implanted in nude mice when given intravenously. Uptake into normal tissues was comparable to or lower than that reported for analogous conjugates with known bifunctional chelators. It is concluded that substitution with a protein reactive group at this position in polyaminopolycarboxylate chelators does not alter the chelating properties of these molecules to a sufficient extent to adversely affect biodistribution and thus provides a general method for the synthesis of such chelators.

Abstract
An ethylene-diamino-triethyl-ester derivative of arachidonic acid (AA-EDTA) was newly synthesized and tested for its coronary vasoactivity in isolated perfused cat coronary arteries. This arachidonic acid analog exerted a coronary vasodilator effect and significantly antagonized the coronary vasoconstrictor effect of LTD4. The constrictor response to the thromboxane analog carbocyclic thromboxane A2 was unaffected by AA-EDTA. These properties of AA-EDTA may be useful in counteracting the vasoconstrictor influence of leukotrienes in situations such as coronary artery vasospasm.

The conjugates may be purified quickly by centrifugation through Sephadex G-50. The number of protein-bound chelating groups may be measured by titration with standard 57Co2+, using thin-layer chromatography to monitor binding. The labeled products retain their immunoreactivity, as illustrated by experiments in vivo with chelate-conjugated antibody to mouse I-AK antigen.

An affinity-label chelate for the enzyme trypsin was synthesized by a novel synthetic technique which takes advantage of the presence of a dangling carboxylate arm in the [Co(EDTA)Cl]2- complex anion. The dangling carboxylate group was coupled to the amino group of p-aminobenzamidine, an effective inhibitor of trypsin activity, via the carbodiimmide reaction to produce a trypsin affinity label at one end and a strong EDTA-like chelating agent at the other, coupled through an amide bond. The cobalt ion can be removed if desired by reduction with Fe2+ + ascorbate, and alternate metal ions inserted in its place. The reaction is general, and affinity labels which contain amino groups can be easily coupled via this procedure, allowing the introduction of a paramagnetic or fluorescent probe into a protein or nucleotide system. The same method has been used to prepare a highly effective chelating gel which is capable of removing calcium and lanthanide ions from the binding protein parvalbumin.

Abstract
The synthesis of a chelating gel which contains the effective metal chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid covalently linked to amino-agarose is described. This gel is shown to be a rapid and extremely effective material for the removal of tightly bound, but labile metal ions from proteins without introducing contaminants into the biological system. The synthesis involves the formation of an amide linkage between the dangling carboxylate arm of the [Co(EDTA)Cl]2-complex and amino-agarose using a standard carbodiimide coupling reaction. The chelating gel is shown to remove approximately 98.5% of the calcium from fully bound Ca2-parvalbumin and over 99% of the europium from Eu2-parvalbumin.

Abstract
A new gamma-labeled marker for extracellular space is the cobaltic form of 58Co-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (58Co-EDTA). The cobaltic ion has a much higher affinity for EDTA than the cobaltous ion; it is prepared as a potassium salt, K+(58Co3+-EDTA4-), and is apparently biologically inert. Testing by equilibration in intact rabbits and comparing the myocardial content with that of [14C]sucrose give values of the volume of distribution in the myocardium of 0.294 +/- 0.052 ml/g for 58Co-EDTA and 0.303 +/- 0.051 ml/g for [14C]sucrose (SD, n = 130, for two hearts), with the ratios of 58Co-EDTA/sucrose averaging 0.973 +/- 0.043 (n = 130). The average value of the extracellular fluid measured in isolated rabbit interventricular septum using Co-EDTA was 0.51 +/- 0.05 ml/g (SD, n = 16) and 0.46 +/- 0.04 ml/g using [14C]sucrose as an extracellular fluid space (ECF) marker. Flushing with a high concentration of nontracer Co-EDTA does not reveal any release from binding sites. The gamma-energy (811 KeV), long half-life (71.4 days), stability, and lack of binding to tissue components make 58Co-EDTA a useful marker for ECF.

Abstract
Two different Co(III) complexes of the antitumor antibiotic bleomycin have been prepared, and their in vivo distribution in mice has been investigated. The more thermodynamically stable of the Co(III)-bleomycin complexes has been modified by reaction with the bifunctional chelating agent 1-(p-bromoacetamidophenyl)ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid, to give a bleomycin derivative (BLEDTA) containing a powerful metal-chelating group. BLEDTA was radiolabeled with 111In(III) and its in vivo distribution in mice was examined. The potential of 111In-labeled BLEDTA as a tumor-visualizing agent was also investigated in humans with biopsy-proven cancers, predominantly (70%) squamous carcinoma of the head and neck. All of the 29 patients studied had at least one clinically proven site of the disease visualized with 111In-BLEDTA. These clinical results are significantly better than results we obtained in a comparable group of patients using directly labeled 111In-bleomycin and are similar to those reported by Nouel for 57Co-bleomycin [GANN Monogr. Cancer Res., 19, 301 (1976)].
