Radioiodinated phospholipid ether analogues have shown a remarkable ability to selectively accumulate in a variety of human and animal tumors in xenograft and spontaneous tumor rodent models. It is believed that this tumor avidity arises as a consequence of metabolic differences between tumor and corresponding normal tissues. The results of this study indicate that one factor in the tumor retention of these compounds in tumors is the length of the alkyl chain that determines their hydrophobic properties. Decreasing the chain length from C12 to C7 resulted in little or no tumor accumulation and rapid clearance of the compound in tumor-bearing rats within 24 h of administration. Increasing the chain length had the opposite effect, with the C15 and C18 analogues displaying delayed plasma clearance and enhanced tumor uptake and retention in tumor-bearing rats. Tumor uptake displayed by propanediol analogues NM-412 and NM-413 was accompanied by high levels of liver and abdominal radioactivity 24 h postinjection to tumor-bearing rats. Addition of a 2-O-methyl moiety to the propanediol backbone also retarded tumor uptake significantly. A direct comparison between NM-404 and its predecessor, NM-324, in human PC-3 tumor bearing immune-compromised mice revealed a dramatic enhancement in both tumor uptake and total body elimination of NM-404 relative to NM-324. On the basis of imaging and tissue distribution studies in several rodent tumor models, the C18 analogue, NM-404, was chosen for follow-up evaluation in human lung cancer patients. Preliminary results have been extremely promising in that selective uptake and retention of the agent in tumors is accompanied by rapid clearance of background radioactivity from normal tissues, especially those in the abdomen. These results strongly suggest that extension of the human trials to include other cancers is warranted, especially when NM-404 is radiolabeled with iodine-124, a new commercially available positron-emitting isotope. The relatively long physical half-life of 4 days afforded by this isotope appears well-suited to the pharmacodynamic profile of NM-404.
