Efficient Synthesis of Multifunctional Chelating Agents Based on Tetraazacycloalkanes

An efficient route has been developed for the synthesis of multifunctional tetraazacycloalkanes (in particular 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecane) incorporating an aminomethyl pendant arm on the carbon skeleton. Starting from the appropriate C-functionalized bisaminal-protected intermediate, the target macrocycles were easily obtained by means of a step-by-step introduction of the desired functional groups onto the free primary amine group, followed by deprotection of the bisaminal intermediates. This straightforward and versatile synthetic approach paves the way for the design of a new family of multifunctional chelators.

Proton and metal binding by cyclen-based highly rigid cryptands.

The basicity properties of the two cryptands L1 and L2, featuring, respectively, a dibenzofuran or a diphenyl ether moiety bridging the 1,7 positions of a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane macrocycle (cyclen) have been studied by means of potentiometric, UV-vis and fluorescence emission measurements. Both ligands show a high basicity in the first protonation step, the first basicity constant of L1 being too high to be measured in aqueous solution. The crystal structure of {[HL1]L1}(+) shows that the NH(2)(+) group is involved in an intramolecular hydrogen bonding network, which justifies the observed high basicity in solution. (1)H, (13)C NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence emission measurements show…

Remarkable Inertness of Copper(II) Chelates of Cyclen-Based Macrobicycles with Two trans-N-Acetate Arms

Two cross-bridged cyclen-based macrocycles with two trans-N-acetic acid arms, one having a dibenzofuran (DBF) moiety as the bridge, H2L1, and the other a diphenyl ether (DPE) one, H2L2, were synthesized. Both compounds behave as "proton sponges." The thermodynamic stability constants for the Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Al(3+), and Ga(3+) complexes of both compounds were determined. They exhibit an excellent thermodynamic selectivity for copper(II), ensuring that metal ions largely present in the human body do not interfere with the copper(II) chelates. All complexes are very slow to form, and [CuL2] and [CuL1] are extremely inert to demetallate, especially [CuL2]. The acid-assisted dissociation of [CuL…

Selectively Functionalized Constrained Polyazamacrocycles: Building Blocks for Multifunctional Chelating Agents

A new class of cross-bridged and side-bridged 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecanes (homocyclens) bearing an aminomethyl pendant arm on the carbon skeleton has been prepared. The regioselectivity of the quaternization of the bis-aminal intermediates is discussed on the basis of X-ray diffraction and NMR experiments. These new polyazamacrocycles are valuable precursors of bifunctional chelating agents for applications in nuclear medicine.

Efficient Synthesis of 1,4,7-Triazacyclononane and 1,4,7-Triazacyclononane-Based Bifunctional Chelators for Bioconjugation (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 35/2014)

Efficient Synthesis of 1,4,7-Triazacyclononane and 1,4,7-Triazacyclononane-Based Bifunctional Chelators for Bioconjugation

The reaction of diethylenetriamine with chloroacetaldehyde yielded a bicyclic aminal intermediate for the synthesis of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (TACN), a macrocyclic polyamine the derivatives of which find applications as catalysts, bleaching agents, and chelators for medical imaging. This new synthetic protocol outperforms the synthetic methods described so far because it does not involve any cyclization step. Moreover, this aminal intermediate allowed access to a new family of TACN derivatives functionalized on the carbon skeleton, for example, C-aminomethyl-TACN. This novel compound is a precursor of valuable bifunctional chelating agents for nuclear medicine, in particular, for the prepa…

AMD3100: A Versatile Platform for CXCR4 Targeting 68 Ga-Based Radiopharmaceuticals

International audience; CXCR4 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), which is overexpressed in numerous diseases, particularly in multiple cancers. Therefore, this receptor represents a valuable target for imaging and therapeutic purposes. Among the different approaches, which were developed for CXCR4 imaging, a CXCR4 antagonist biscyclam system (AMD3100, also called Mozobil), currently used in the clinic for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells, was radiolabeled with different radiometals such as 62Zn, 64Cu, 67Ga, or 99mTc. However, cyclam is not an ideal chelator for most of these radiometals, and could lead to the release of the radionuclide in vivo. In the current study, a new …
