The project will focus on using feraheme (FH) as a scaffold to develop PSMA-targeting nanoparticles (NPs) using a PSMA-inhibitor (PSMA-I) in order to better image prostate cancer. Click chemistry will be applied to synthesize the NP quickly and efficiently. Prostate cancer cells display a concentration of PSMA markers 1000x more concentrated on their membrane than non-cancerous prostate cells. Feraheme is an FDA-approved off-label nanoparticle that has very low toxicity and high non-specific cellular uptake, but when a PSMA-I is attached, tissue-specific targeting will be demonstrated by comparing non-specific uptake in PSMA(+) and PSMA(-) tumor cell lines. PSMA is expressed in both the prostate and the brain which allows the NP to target multiple organs. By attaching several targeting structures on the surface of the NP, the synergistic effect will give the FH-PSMA-I NP better diagnostic power in vivo. Eventually, further additions on the surface of the NP will add specificity and will allow subtyping of prostate cancers.
