Initial insights into the interaction of antibodies radiolabeled with Lutetium-177 and Actinium-225 with tumor microenvironment in experimental human and canine osteosarcoma.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent primary bone cancer affecting both humans and canines. This study describes initial insights into the interaction of the human monoclonal antibody IF3 to an insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R) radiolabeled with either alpha-emitting Actinium-225 (Ac) or beta-emitting Lutetium-177 (Lu) radionuclides with the OS cells and tumor microenvironment (TME) in experimental human and canine OS.

Basic Procedures: SCID mice bearing canine Gracie or human OS-33 OS tumors were treated with Lu- or Ac-labeled IF3 antibody, sacrificed at 24, 72 or 168 h post-treatment and their tumors were analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the presence of OS cells, various elements of TME as well as for the double DNA strand breaks with γH2AX and caspase 3 assays.

Comparative Molecular Characterization and Pharmacokinetics of IgG1-Fc and Engineered Fc Human Antibody Variants to Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 Receptor (IGF2R).

Novel therapeutic approaches are much needed for the treatment of osteosarcoma. Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) and radioimmunotherapy (RIT) are promising approaches that deliver therapeutic radiation precisely to the tumor site. We have previously developed a fully human antibody, named IF3, that binds to insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (IGF2R).

Characterization of IGF2R Molecular Expression in Canine Osteosarcoma as Part of a Novel Comparative Oncology Approach.

Progress in prognostic factors, treatments, and outcome for both canine and human osteosarcoma (OS) has been minimal over the last three decades. Surface overexpression of the cation independent mannose-6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor receptor type 2 (IGF2R) has been proven to occur in human OS cells. Subsequently, radioimmunotherapy (RIT) targeting IGF2R has demonstrated promising preliminary results.

Design and development of 1,3,5-triazine-thiadiazole hybrids as potent adenosine AA receptor (AAR) antagonist for benefit in Parkinson's disease.

Various studies showed adenosine AA receptors (AARs) antagonists have profound therapeutic efficacy in Parkinsons Disease (PD) by improving dopamine transmission, thus being active in reversing motor deficits and extrapyramidal symptoms related to the disease. Therefore, in the presents study, we have showed the development of novel 1,3,5-triazine-thiadiazole derivative as potent AARs antagonist. In the radioligand binding assay, these molecules showed excellent binding affinity with AAR compared to AR, with significant selectivity.
