A lyophilized peptide radiopharmaceutical kit to target neurotensin receptor for tumor imaging
Introduction: Neurotensin (NT) is a tridecapeptide that binds specifically to neurotensin receptors. Several forms of cancer, including small cell lung cancer, colon, pancreatic and prostate carcinomas especially exocrine pancreatic carcinomas express receptors for neurotensin peptide. Radiolabeled neurotensin derivatives with a high affinity for these receptors might be used for scintigraphy. ...
متن کاملCB1 cannabinoid receptors are involved in neuroleptic-induced enhancement of brain neurotensin
Objective(s): Targeting the neuropeptide systems has been shown to be useful for the development of more effective antipsychotic drugs. Neurotensin, an endogenous neuropeptide, appears to be involved in the mechanism of action of antipsychotics. However, the available data provide conflicting results and the mechanism(s) by which antipsychotics affect brain neurotensin neurotransmission have no...
متن کاملCannabinoid CB1 Receptors Mediate the Gastroprotective Effect of Neurotensin
Objective(s) Several lines of evidence indicate that neuropeptides exhibit protective properties against gastroduodenal ulcers. Neurotensin, a gut-brain neuropeptide, is implicated in a number of physiological processes in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues including gastrointestinal tract. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the gastroprotective potential of either p...
متن کاملSynthesis and activities of neurotensin, and its acid and amide analogs: possible natural occurrence of [Gln4]-neurotensin.
It was considered, a priori, that the isolation of the tridecapeptide, neurotensin, might have inadvertently sllowed the hydrolysis of either the [Gln4]- or the [Leu13-NH2]-moieties. Neurotensin and its three acid and amide analogs, i.e., [Gln4]-neurotensin, neurotensin-NH2, and [Gln4]-neurotensin-NH2 were synthesized. Neurotensin and [Gln4]-neurotensin were indistinguishable by the hypotensive...
متن کاملProbing the environment of neurotensin whilst bound to the neurotensin receptor by solid state NMR.
A functionally active analogue of neurotensin, neurotensin(8-13), has been observed whilst bound to the agonist-binding site of the rat neurotensin receptor by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Through the application of slow magic angle sample spinning and high-power proton decoupling, sufficient resolution and sensitivity were obtained in the carbon-13 spectrum to allow an assignment of many ...
متن کاملElectrophysiological and behavioral effects of neurotensin in rat globus pallidus: an in vivo study.
The globus pallidus plays a critical role in movement regulation. Morphological study has indicated that the globus pallidus receives neurotensinergic innervation from the striatum. The present study investigated the effects of activating neurotensin receptor in globus pallidus. In vivo single unit electrophysiological recordings showed that micro-pressure ejection of neurotensin into the globu...
