Enhancing the Therapeutic Effect of 2-<sup>211</sup>At-astato-α-methyl-L-phenylalanine with Probenecid Loading

L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) might be a useful target for tumor therapy since it is highly expressed in various types of cancers. We previously developed an astatine-211 (<sup>211</sup>At)-labeled amino acid derivative, 2-<sup>211</sup>At-astato-α-methyl-L-phenylala...

We previously developed an astatine-211 (<sup>211</sup>At)-labeled amino acid derivative, 2-<sup>211</sup>At-astato-α-methyl-L-phenylalanine (2-<sup>211</sup>At-AAMP), and demonstrated its therapeutic potential for LAT1-positive cancers.

In biodistribution studies, the blood radioactivity of 2-<sup>211</sup>At-AAMP significantly increased with probenecid preloading.

In a therapeutic study, tumor growth was suppressed by 2-<sup>211</sup>At-AAMP with probenecid, and the tumor volume was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the untreated control group from day 2 to day 30 (end of the follow-up period) after treatment.
