ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Dysregulated MMP expression or activation is associated with several diseases. To study MMP activity in vivo by means of PET a radiolabeled MMP inhibitor (MMPI) functioning as radiotracer has been developed by our group based on the lead structure CGS 25966. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Aiming at the modification of the pharmacokinetics of this lipophilic model tracer a new class of MMPIs has been discovered, consisting of additional fluorinated hydrophilic substructures, such as mini-PEG and/or 1,2,3-triazole units. To identify the best candidate for further clinical applications, radiofluorinated compounds of each subgroup have been (radio) synthesized and evaluated regarding their biodistribution behavior and their metabolic stability. RESULTS: Radiosyntheses of different triazole based MMPIs could be realized using two step "click chemistry" procedures. Compared to lead structure [(18)F]FEtO-CGS 25966 ([(18)F]1e, log D(exp) =2.02, IC50=2-50nM) all selected candidates showed increased hydrophilicities and inhibition potencies (log D(exp) =0.23-1.25, IC50=0.006-6nM). Interestingly, despite different hydrophilicities most triazole based MMPIs showed no significant differences in their in vivo biodistribution behavior and were cleared predominantly via the hepatobiliary excretion route. Biostability and metabolism studies in vitro and in vivo revealed significant higher metabolic stability for the triazole moiety compared to the benzyl ring in the lead structure. Cleavage of ethylene glycol subunits of the mini-PEG chain led to a faster metabolism of mini-PEG containing MMPIs. CONCLUSION: The introduction of hydrophilic groups such as mini-PEG and 1,2,3-triazole units did not lead to a significant shift of the hepatobiliary elimination towards renal clearance. Particularly the introduction of mini-PEG chains led to an intense metabolic decomposition. Substitution of the benzyl moiety in lead structure 1e by a 1,2,3-trizole ring resulted in an increased metabolic stability. Therefore, the 1,2,3-triazole-1-yl-methyl substituted MMPI [(18)F]3a was found to be the most stable candidate in this series and should be chosen for further preclinical evaluation.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaque that leads to stroke and myocardial infarction may be induced by macrophage infiltration and neovessel formation. A tracer that selectively binds to integrin αvß3 a protein expressed by macrophages and neovascular endothelium may identify rupture prone plaque. METHODS: (18)F-labeled "R-G-D" containing tripeptide (Flotegatide), a click chemistry derived radiotracer that binds to integrin αvß3 was injected in ApoE knockout mice fed a high fat diet. Uptake of Flotegatide by atherosclerotic plaque was visualized by micro-PET, autoradiography, and correlated to histologic markers of inflammation and angiogenesis. RESULTS: We found that Flotegatide preferentially binds to aortic plaque in an ApoE knockout mouse model of atherosclerosis. The tracer's uptake is strongly associated with presence of histologic markers for macrophage infiltration and integrin expression. There is a weaker but detectable association between Flotegatide uptake and presence of an immunohistochemical marker for neovascularization. DISCUSSION: We hypothesize that Flotegatide may be a useful tracer for visualization of inflamed plaque in clinical subjects with atherosclerosis and may have potential for detecting vulnerable plaque.

ABSTRACT

A new glycosylation strategy that allows chemoselective activation of the S-thiazolyl (STaz) moiety of a glycosyl donor over the temporarily deactivated glycosyl acceptor, bearing the same anomeric group, has been developed. This deactivation is achieved by engaging of the STaz moiety of the glycosyl acceptor into a stable palladium(II) complex. Therefore, obtained disaccharides are then released from the complex by simple ligand exchange. [reaction: see text]

ABSTRACT

New tetradentate Schiff-base oxovanadium(IV) complexes [VOL']SO4 (where L' = tetradentate ligands derived from 2,4-dihydroxy 5-acetyl acetophenone and substituted diamines) were prepared and characterized by physico-chemical techniques. All the complexes are monomeric in nature and a square-pyramidal geometry is proposed. Various ligand-field and molecular-orbital parameters have been calculated.

ABSTRACT

4,6-O-Butylidene-N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine was synthesized and characterized using analytical, spectral and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. 1H and 13C NMR studies showed the presence of the beta-anomer, which has also been confirmed by the crystal structure. The molecular structure of this compound showed the presence of the tridentate ONO ligation-core. Both precursors, 4,6-O-butylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranose and 4,6-O-butylidene-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine were characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The alpha-anomeric nature of the former and beta-anomeric nature of the latter were proposed based on 1H NMR studies and were confirmed by determining the crystal structures. In addition, the crystal structure of 4,6-O-butylidene-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine revealed the C-1-N-glycosylation. In all the three molecules, the saccharide unit exhibits a 4C(1) chair conformation. In the lattice, the molecules are connected by hydrogen-bond interactions. The conformation of 4,6-O-butylidene-N-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine is stabilized via an O-H...N intramolecular interaction, and each molecule in the lattice interacts with three neighboring molecules through hydrogen bonds of the type O-H...O and C-H...O.

ABSTRACT

A new binucleating ligand containing phenoxide as an endogenous bridging group, 2,6-diformyl-p-cresol bis(2-furanthiocarboxyhydrazone) and its binuclear Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with chloride ion as an exogenous bridge, have been obtained. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivities, magnetic moment measurements at room temperature, electronic, IR, 1H-NMR, EPR, FAB spectral studies and thermal data. The copper complex assumes a tetranuclear structure composed of two binuclear units related by a center of symmetry. The dimeric nature of copper(II) complex is supported by FAB. This complex is EPR silent. Room temperature magnetic moment reveals the operation of a significant antiferromagnetic spin exchange between the metal centers. Ligand and its copper and zinc complexes exhibit fluorescence at room temperature in DMF. All the compounds show an appreciable antimicrobial activity.
