Development of [F]FPy-WL12 as a PD-L1 Specific PET Imaging Peptide by Wojciech G. Lesniak PhD, Ronnie C. Mease PhD, Samit Chatterjee PhD, Dhiraj Kumar PhD, Ala Lisok MA, Bryan Wharram MS, Venkateswara Rao Kalagadda PhD, Leisha A. Emens MD, PhD, Martin G. Pomper MD, PhD, Sridhar Nimmagadda PhD

“…The parent peptide, WL12, and the nonradioactive analog of the radiotracer, 19 FPy-WL12, inhibit PD-1/PD-L1 interaction at low nanomolar concentrations (half maximal inhibitory concentration [IC 50 ], 26-32 nM). The radiotracer, [ 18 F]FPy-WL12, was prepared by conjugating 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl 6-[ 18 F]fluoronicotinate ([ 18 F]FPy-TFP) to WL12 and assessed for specificity in vitro in 6 cancer cell lines with varying PD-L1 expression. …”
