The 18‐membered macrocycle H2macropa was investigated for 225Ac chelation in targeted alpha therapy (TAT). Radiolabeling studies showed that macropa, at submicromolar concentration, complexed all 225Ac (26 kBq) in 5 min at RT. 225Ac(macropa)+ remained intact over 7 to 8 days when challenged with either excess La3+ ions or human serum, and did not accumulate in any organ after 5 h in healthy mice. A bifunctional analogue, macropa‐NCS, was conjugated to trastuzumab as well as to the prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐targeting compound RPS‐070. Both constructs rapidly radiolabeled 225Ac in just minutes at RT, and macropa‐Tmab retained >99 % of its 225Ac in human serum after 7 days. In LNCaP xenograft mice, 225Ac‐macropa‐RPS‐070 was selectively targeted to tumors and did not release free 225Ac over 96 h. These findings establish macropa to be a highly promising ligand for 225Ac chelation that will facilitate the clinical development of 225Ac TAT for the treatment of soft‐tissue metastases. Actinium in action! A macrocyclic ligand exhibits unprecedented radiolabeling efficiency for the large α‐emitting radionuclide 225Ac3+. This ligand is extremely promising for the implementation of 225Ac in targeted alpha therapy for cancer. RCY=radiochemical yield.
