Abstract: The NAGANT project is dedicated to high complexity researches and is based on experimental and applicative research aspects in radiochemistry, nuclear physics, biology and nuclear medicine, in order to develop new products and methods in cancer diagnosis, localization, monitoring and targeted therapy. The project is conceived with a modular structure, including:
A. One chemical/radiochemical module – approaching new techniques and methods for radiolabeling of Neurotensin (NT) agonist and antagonist molecules with therapeutic radionuclide 177Lu
B. One biologic module – includes experimental researches on cellular models and animals, normal or bearing tumors that express NT neuroreceptors. In this module will be developed methods for radiolabeled NT in vitro evaluation, regarding its binding to receptors (quantified by IC50 values), 177Lu-NT bond stability (quantified by Kd values), the internalization/externalization degree of the 177Lu-NT in neurotensin receptors, positive expressed cells, study of unlabeled neurotensin blocking effects at tumor cells level, agonist and antagonist effects in the kinetics of radiolabeled neurotensin coupling processes at cell receptors level.
C. One module of applicative research on animal models which includes targeted radiotherapy of neurotensin receptors studies, in presence in absence of neurotensin antagonists. The results of these experiments will led to cancer treatment protocols realization by targeted therapy method. The present project is one of multidisciplinary research that couples chemical, radiochemical and biomolecular researches with scientific contribution to the elucidation of the paradigm regarding neurotensin agonist or antagonist uptake at cell tumor level as well as the elaboration of a new radiopharmaceutical product for cancer diagnosis, imagistic and targeted therapy.
