Dual pharmacokinetic modifier strategy for synergistically enhanced tumor accumulation of PSMA-targeting radioligand

Abstract

Herein, we report a novel molecular design strategy that introduces two distinct pharmacokinetic modifiers into a single radioligand to achieve the synergistic enhancement of tumor accumulation. We newly designed a small-molecule-based radioligand, which contains both a positively charged unit and an albumin binder, and demonstrated its enhanced tumor accumulation.
