This radioisotope is obtained by two different production routes that directly affect the specific activity of lutetium-177 (non-carrier added and carrier added) and, consequently, the specific activity of radiopharmaceuticals, like 177Lu-PSMA-617. The influence of the specific activity of lutetium-177 on the properties of the radiopharmaceutical PSMA-617 was evaluated through pre-clinical studies. The in vitro study pointed to a lower constant of dissociation with non-carrier added lutetium-177 due to the difference in the specific activity. However, competition and internalization assays resulted in similar results for both lutetium-177. Based on these pre-clinical experiments, the total in vitro tumor cell binding and tumor uptake in vivo were similar, with no influence of the specific activity of the 177Lu-PSMA-617. Regardless the specific activity did not directly affect tumor uptake, the tumor/non-target organs ratios were higher for the radiopharmaceutical labeled with carrier added lutetium-177, which had the lowest specific activity.1-7openAccessprostatemembranesantigenslutetium 177activity levelsin vivoin vitroin vitroradiopharmaceuticalsneoplasmsIn vitro and in vivo response of PSMA-617 radiolabeled with CA and NCA lutetium-177Artigo de periódico18010.1016/j.apradiso.2021.1100640000-0002-0007-534Xhttps://orcid.org/0000-0003-0456-5589https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2852-6189https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0007-534X32.546
