Synthesis and investigation of a radioiodinated F3 peptide analog as a SPECT tumor imaging radioligand.

A radioiodinated derivative of the tumor-homing F3 peptide, (N-(2-{3-[(125)I]Iodobenzoyl}aminoethyl)maleimide-F3Cys peptide, [(125)I]IBMF3 was developed for investigation as a SPECT tumor imaging radioligand. For this purpose, we custom synthesized a modified F3 peptide analog (F3Cys) incorporating...
