A new radiolabeled bombesin analogue, [99mTc(I)-PADA-AVA]bombesin (7-14), was synthesized and in vitro and in vivo characterized. High affinity and rapid internalization were obtained in binding assays. A specific binding towards gastrin releasing peptide receptors-positive tissues, pancreas and tumor, was observed in CD-1 nu/nu mice bearing PC-3 prostate adenocarcinoma xenografts. We therefore conclude that [99mTc(I)-PADA-AVA]bombesin (7-14) might have promising characteristics for applications in nuclear medicine, namely for diagnosis of GRP receptor overexpressing tumors.
