Whole-body PET tracking of a D-dodecapeptide and its radiotheranostic potential for PD-L1 overexpressing tumors

Abstract Peptides that are composed of dextrorotary (D)-amino acids have gained increasing
attention as a potential therapeutic class. However, our understanding of the in vivo fate of D-peptides
is limited. This highlights the need for whole-body, quantitative tracking of D-peptides to better
understand how they interact with the living body. Here, we used mouse models to track the
movement of a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-targeting D-dodecapeptide antagonist (DPA)
using positron emission tomography (PET). More specifically, we profiled the metabolic routes of
[
64Cu]DPA and investigated the tumor engagement of [
64Cu/68Ga]DPA in mouse models. Our results
revealed that intact [
64Cu/68Ga]DPA was primarily eliminated by the kidneys and had a notable
accumulation in tumors. Moreover, a single dose of [
64Cu]DPA effectively delayed tumor growth
and improved the survival of mice. Collectively, these results not only deepen our knowledge of the
in vivo fate of D-peptides, but also underscore the utility of D-peptides as radiopharmaceuticals.
