NOTA-RGDfK is a useful radiolabel ligand peptide that targets αvβ3 integrin, a key marker of angiogenesis overexpressed in various tumors. When labeled with radiometals such as ^68Ga or ^64Cu, NOTA-RGDfK exhibits high binding affinity and specificity to αvβ3 integrin, enabling its use in PET imaging. In preclinical studies, [68Ga]-NOTA-RGDfK demonstrated a dissociation constant (K_d) of ~20–30 nM for αvβ3-positive U87MG glioblastoma cells and showed excellent tumor uptake (e.g., ~2.6–3.5 %ID/g at 1 h post-injection in mouse xenografts), along with rapid blood clearance and low non-target uptake. These properties make NOTA-RGDfK a valuable probe for imaging tumor angiogenesis and monitoring response to anti-angiogenic therapies.
