    FIGURE 1.

    Schematic structure of DOTA-E{E[c(RGDfK)]2}2. The tetrameric RGD peptide was synthesized by coupling Boc-Glu(OSu)-OSu with dimeric RGD peptide E[c(RGDfK)]2 followed by removal of Boc protecting group. DOTA conjugation was realized by reacting monoactive ester of DOTA with the free amino group on the N-terminal glutamate.
