Novel bifunctional DATA chelator for quick access to site-directed PET 68Ga-radiotracers: preclinical proof-of-principle with [Tyr3]octreotide
2017
Molecular imaging of tumors with the PET radionuclide 68Ga has gained momentum in clinical oncology due to the expanding availability of commercial 68Ge/68Ga-generators in combination with state-of-the-art PET/CT and PET/MRI hybrid imaging systems. Concurrently, interesting peptide-based or small-size vectors have been developed for theranostic use in cancer patients. Owing to the short half-life of 68Ga (t1/2 = 67.7 min) and the sensitivity of many targeting biomolecules, labeling and kit reconstitution in mild conditions allowing for quick access to ready-for-injection PET-tracers are highly desirable. The novel DATA ((6-pentanoic acid)-6-(amino)methy-1,4-diazepinetriacetate) chelator pre…
Reinforced cyclam derivatives functionalized on the bridging unit
2016
International audience; A new synthetic method has been developed for the preparation of reinforced cyclams (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) C-functionalized on the bridging unit, by using a "one pot" reaction starting from the appropriate bis-aminal cyclam intermediate. The high reactivity of quaternized aminal moiety toward nucleophilic agent has been used to elaborate a new class of cross-bridged and side-bridged cyclam derivatives containing cyanide group on the ethylene bridge. Several chelators and corresponding copper(II) complexes have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction. These new constrained polyazamacrocycles are valuable precursors of bifunctional chelating a…
New potential bimodal imaging contrast agents based on DOTA-like and porphyrin macrocycles
2011
A bifunctional chelator featuring (DO3A-AM)-Porphyrin units has been prepared. The high-field relaxivity of the Gd complex is similar to those of currently available contrast agents clearly showing that the first coordination sphere remains identical to the parent molecule [Gd(DO3A-AM)(H2O)], with one coordinated water molecule.
