The ER status of the tumors determines the likelihood of a favorable response to the treatment, and patients with ER-positive tumors have a better chance of recovery compared to those with ER-negative tumors. The presence of ER in the tissue is measured in a biopsy sample or after resection of a tumor. The random biopsy or tumor sampling may yield a false negative result because primary tumors usually have a heterogeneous ER distribution (<a class="bk_pop" href="#GAPEDLTc99m.REF.2">2</a>). In this regard a radioscintigraphic procedure could be more useful to determine the ER status of tumors because agents used for scintigraphy have a binding specificity for their targets.</p><p>Tamoxifen is a selective ER modulator that blocks estrogen binding to the receptor and is often used to treat breast cancer. Using radioactive halogen ([<sup>18</sup>F] fluorine and [<sup>131</sup>I] iodine) derivatives of tamoxifen in conjunction with positron emission tomography (PET), some investigators have investigated and monitored the effects of this drug at the cellular and clinical levels for the treatment of cancer (<a class="bk_pop" href="#GAPEDLTc99m.REF.3" data-bk-pop-others="GAPEDLTc99m.REF.4 GAPEDLTc99m.REF.5 GAPEDLTc99m.REF.6">3-6</a>). Although the results obtained from these studies are encouraging, the expenses, availability, and water solubility of these derivatives are limiting factors for clinical use. As an alternative, Takahashi et al. decided to develop a meta-stable, technetium (<sup>99m</sup>Tc)-labeled derivative of estradiol (EDL) to possibly investigate and monitor ER status in cancer patients because the isotope is inexpensive and easily available, and the derivative is water-soluble (<a class="bk_pop" href="#GAPEDLTc99m.REF.7">7</a>); this estradiol was conjugated to a poly-glutamate peptide (GAP) that could chelate the <sup>99m</sup>Tc isotope to obtain <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GAP-EDL for imaging and radiotherapeutic purposes. The investigators also explored the possibility of using <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GAP-EDL to detect endometriosis, an ER-associated condition, using a rabbit model (<a class="bk_pop" href="#GAPEDLTc99m.REF.7" data-bk-pop-others="GAPEDLTc99m.REF.8 GAPEDLTc99m.REF.9">7-9</a>).</p></div><div id="GAPEDLTc99m.Synthesis"><h2 id="_GAPEDLTc99m_Synthesis_">Synthesis</h2><p>[<a href="/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&#x00026;Cmd=DetailsSearch&#x00026;Term=99mTc+GAP+EDL+synthesis" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>The synthesis of <sup>99m</sup>Tc -GAP-EDL was performed as described by Takahashi et al. (<a class="bk_pop" href="#GAPEDLTc99m.REF.7" data-bk-pop-others="GAPEDLTc99m.REF.9">7, 9</a>). To start, estrone was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol. Sodium ethoxide and bromoacetonitrile were added to the solution and the mixture was heated under reflux for 3 h. The ethanol was allowed to evaporate completely and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed with water and the organic layer was filtered after drying over magnesium sulphate. The ethyl actetate was evaporated under reduced pressure and the remaining solid product, 3-acetonitrile estradiol, was washed with ether. The yield of this reaction was 75%. The solid product was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, and lithium aluminum hydride was added to the mixture and stirred for 4 h. The solvent was evaporated to yield a solid that was dissolved in ethyl acetate. This solution was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate, and filtered. The solvent was evaporated to obtain 3-cyanomethyl estrone (EDL) with a yield of 92%. The structure of EDL was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance.</p><p>For the synthesis of GAP-EDL, the sodium salt of GAP was converted to the acid form by the addition of 2 N hydrochloric acid (HCl). This solution was dialyzed to remove all the HCl and freeze-dried to obtain the acidic form of GAP. The GAP acid was dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF), and dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and 4-<i>N,N</i>-dimethyl aminopyridine were added to it. This mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. The DMF was evaporated under reduced pressure; 1 N sodium bicarbonate was added to it and extracted with chloroform. The aqueous solution was dialyzed, filtered, and freeze-dried to obtain GAP-EDL. The percent yield of this reaction was not provided in the publication. The GAP-EDL complex contained 15% (weight/weight) EDL as determined by ultraviolet spectroscopy.</p><p>For the synthesis of <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GAP-EDL, <sup>99m</sup>Tc was added to a vial containing lyophilized GAP-EDL and tin (II) chloride. Using a radio thin-layer chromatography scanner, the radiochemical purity of the product was determined to be 97%. The Rf value and specific activity of <sup>99m</sup>Tc-GAP-EDL were not provided in the publication (<a class="bk_pop" href="#GAPEDLTc99m.REF.7">7</a>).

In the same study, MCF-7 cells treated with tamoxifen showed a 10% decrease in uptake of the radiochemical.
