Targeting the Folate Receptor (FR): Imaging and Cytotoxicity of Re<sup>I</sup> Conjugates in FR‐Overexpressing Cancer Cells
23 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
The synthesis, characterization, in vitro imaging, and cytotoxic properties of a new folate conjugate of rhenium(I) are reported. The conjugate [FA-PEG-BQAV-Re(CO)3]+ (gamma-4) was screened against an adriamycin- and cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cell line (A2780/AD) that overexpresses the folate receptor (FR). Compound gamma-4 was internalized by a folate-receptor-mediated endocytotic pathway, which...
