Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Pentixafor is a ligand to make gallium Ga 68-pentixafor, a radioconjugate composed of a synthetic, cyclic pentapeptide analog of stromal-cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1 or CXCL12), which is a ligand for chemokine receptor C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4), that is radiolabeled, via the macrocyclic chelating agent dodecanetetraacetic acid (DOTA), with the radioisotope gallium Ga 68 (Ga68; 68Ga), with potential use for imaging CXCR4-expressing cells upon positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT). Upon administration of 68Ga-pentixafor, the pentixafor moiety targets and binds to CXCR4-expressing cancer cells. Upon PET/CT, CXCR4-expressing cancer cells can be visualized and the expression status of the receptor can be assessed. CXCR4, a marker of poorly differentiated cells, is overexpressed on various cancer cells, and plays a key role in tumor growth, progression, invasiveness and metastasi

More Info
Biological target:
Pentixafor targets and binds to CXCR4-expressing cancer cells with an IC50 of 24.8 ± 2.5 nM.
In vitro activity:
Following in vitro re-culturing of CAM-PDXs, growth, and [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor uptake were unaltered compared to PDOs before transplantation onto the CAM. Although [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor was taken up into CAM-PDXs, the uptake in the baseline and blocking group were comparable and there was only a trend towards blocking.

In vivo activity:
In most tumors, CXCR4 expression is significantly upregulated. Moreover, integrated nuclide diagnosis and therapy targeting CXCR4 show great potential. [68Ga]Ga-pentixafor, a radioligand targeting CXCR4, exhibits a strong affinity for CXCR4 both in vivo and in vitro. Reference: Yang T, Shi D, Lin Q, Shen H, Tan H, Liu Y, Shi H, Cheng D.
