Cyclic gallium-68 labeled peptides for specific detection of human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2
2020-12-16
Abstract excerpt
In this study, we developed ACE2-specific, peptide-derived 68 Ga-labeled radiotracers, motivated by the hypotheses that (1) ACE2 is an important determinant of SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility, and (2) that modulation of ACE2 in COVID-19 drives severe organ injury. <h4>Methods</h4> A series of NOTA-conjugated peptides derived from the known ACE2 inhibitor DX600 were synthesized, with variable linker identity. Since DX...
