gozetotide - Medications

11.1 Chemical Characteristics LOCAMETZ (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection) is a sterile, radioactive diagnostic agent for intravenous administration after radiolabeling. Each vial contains 25 micrograms of gozetotide, 1 mg gentisic acid, 78 mg of sodium acetate trihydrate, and 40 mg sodium chloride. Gozetotide is also known as PSMA-11. After reconstitution and radiolabeling of LOCAMETZ, the vial contains gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection at a radioactivity of up to 2,590 MBq (70 mCi) in up to 10 mL at calibration date and time. The vial also contains hydrochloric acid derived from the gallium-68 chloride solution. Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection has a pH between 3.2 to 6.5. Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide is a urea based peptidomimetic that has a covalently bound chelator (HBED-CC). The peptide has amino acid sequence OH-Glu-CO-Lys(Ahx-CC-HBED)-OH. Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide has a molecular weight of 1011.91 g/mol. The chemical structure is shown in Figure 3. Figure 3.
