Comparison Study of Two Differently Clicked 18F-Folates—Lipophilicity Plays a Key Role
2018
Within the last decade, several folate-based radiopharmaceuticals for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) have been evaluated; however, there is still a lack of suitable 18F-folates for clinical PET imaging. Herein, we report the synthesis and evaluation of two novel 18F-folates employing strain-promoted and copper-catalyzed click chemistry. Furthermore, the influence of both click-methods on lipophilicity and pharmacokinetics of the 18F-folates was investigated. 18F-Ala-folate and 18F-DBCO-folate were both stable in human serum albumin. In vitro studies proved their high affinity to the folate receptor (FR). The lipophilic character of …
A Polar18F-Labeled Amino Acid Derivative for Click Labeling of Biomolecules
2014
This work describes the synthesis and 18F-labeling of an amino acid based prosthetic group that is able to participate in copper(I)-catalyzed cycloadditions. The prosthetic group can be used for 18F labeling of biomolecules under mild conditions. The synthesis started with L-serine methyl ester, which was derivatized by introducing an alkyne moiety and a leaving group for 18F labeling. Subsequently, 18F labeling as well as deprotection conditions were screened, which resulted in an overall radiochemical yield (RCY) of around 28 %. Furthermore, the 18F-labeled prosthetic group was treated with an azido cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD) peptide as a model system in very high RCY of 98 %.
Radiolabeling of Nanoparticles and Polymers for PET Imaging
2014
Nanomedicine has become an emerging field in imaging and therapy of malignancies. Nanodimensional drug delivery systems have already been used in the clinic, as carriers for sensitive chemotherapeutics or highly toxic substances. In addition, those nanodimensional structures are further able to carry and deliver radionuclides. In the development process, non-invasive imaging by means of positron emission tomography (PET) represents an ideal tool for investigations of pharmacological profiles and to find the optimal nanodimensional architecture of the aimed-at drug delivery system. Furthermore, in a personalized therapy approach, molecular imaging modalities are essential for patient screeni…

18F-Labeling Using Click Cycloadditions
2014
Due to expanding applications of positron emission tomography (PET) there is a demand for developing new techniques to introduce fluorine-18 (t1/2=109.8 min). Considering that most novel PET tracers are sensitive biomolecules and that direct introduction of fluorine-18 often needs harsh conditions, the insertion of18F in those molecules poses an exceeding challenge. Two major challenges during18F-labeling are a regioselective introduction and a fast and high yielding way under mild conditions. Furthermore, attention has to be paid to functionalities, which are usually present in complex structures of the target molecule. The Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and several copper…

(18) F-labeled folic acid derivatives for imaging of the folate receptor via positron emission tomography.
2013
The folate receptor (FR) is already known as a proven target in diagnostics and therapy of cancer. Furthermore, the FR is involved in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The major advantage as a valuable target is its strongly limited expression in healthy tissues. Over the past two decades, several folic acid-based radiopharmaceuticals addressing the FR have been developed, and some of them show great potential for applications in clinical routine. However, most of these radiofolates were developed for single photon emission computed tomography imaging, and only a few can be used for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The development of suitable (18) F-labeled derivatives for PE…
18F-Radiolabeling, Preliminary Evaluation of Folate-pHPMA Conjugates via PET
2014
The synthesis of a 10.5 kDa and a 52.5 kDa polymer, based on pHPMA functionalized with tyramine for (18) F-labeling and a folate derivative as targeting moiety, is reported. FCS studies are conducted using Oregon Green-labeled conjugates. No aggregation is observed for the 10.5 kDa conjugate, but strong aggregation for the 52.5 kDa conjugate. In vivo studies are conducted using Walker-256 mammary carcinoma model to determine body distribution as function of size and especially targeting unit. These in vivo studies show a higher short time (2 h) accumulation for both conjugates in the tumor than for untargeted pHPMA, confirmed by blockade studies. The 10.5 kDa polymer accumulates with 0.46% …
Selective binding to monoamine oxidase A: in vitro and in vivo evaluation of (18)F-labeled β-carboline derivatives.
2015
In this study we synthesized four different (18)F-labeling precursors for the visualization of the monoamino oxidase A using harmol derivatives. Whereas two are for prosthetic group labeling using [(18)F]fluoro-d2-methyl tosylate and 2-[(18)F]fluoroethyl-tosylate, the other three precursors are for direct nucleophilic (18)F-labeling. Additionally the corresponding reference compounds were synthesized. The syntheses of [(18)F]fluoro-d2-methyl-harmol and 2-[(18)F]fluoroethyl-harmol were carried out using harmol as starting material. For direct nucleophilic (18)F-labeling of the tracers carrying oligoethyled spacers (PEG), a toluenesulfonyl leaving group was employed. The radiolabeling, purifi…
