Abstract Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an accessible cell-surface bound homodimeric endopeptidase, which can be efficiently targeted using urea-based derivatives of glutamic acid such as 2-[3-(1,3-dicarboxypropyl)ureido]pentanedioic acid (DUPA). PSMA is usually absent in normal adult tissues, exception made for normal prostate tissue and duodenum. The tumor-targeting imaging of various PSMA ligands has been validated in rodents and in cancer patients, using nuclear medicine or molecular fluolorescence procedures. Here we will present the design of two photon probes with a PSMA binding motif, and their application for the dignosis of colon cancer in patients.
