ABSTRACT

Click chemistry, in particular copper-free click reactions, has gained growing interest for radiolabelling purposes in the field of radiopharmaceutical sciences. [99mTc][Tc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ works as an excellent starting complex for the radiolabelling of biomolecules under mild conditions. A new chelator, investigated for the copper-free strain-promoted cycloaddition (SPAAC), was synthesised containing the 2,2'-dipicolylamine (DPA) moiety for the 99mTc-tricarbonyl core and compared with a DPA chelator based on activated esters for conventional radiolabelling. For the copper-free click labelling procedure, a DPA containing 4,8-diazacyclononyne moiety was prepared from a sulfonyl-modified diamide (four steps, 64% yield) followed by the Nicholas reaction with butyne-1,3-diol. The 99mTc-DPA-DACN-complex was prepared with a radiochemical conversion (RCC) of 89% after 30 min. The following SPAAC reaction with an azide-functionalised PSMA molecule was performed within 4-5 hours at 100 °C to obtain the PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) targeting 99mTc-complex with 79% RCC and without side products. For comparison, a second DPA-chelator based on a tetrafluorophenyl (TFP) ester was prepared (three steps, 64% yield) and was successfully radiolabelled with [[99mTc]Tc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ with 89% RCC after 20 min and >99% radiochemical purity after separation using an RP18 cartridge. The subsequent conjugation of an amine-functionalised PSMA targeting molecule was performed with 23% RCC after 150 min. Two other unknown side products were observed indicating the decomposition of the TFP ester during the labelling. All nonradioactive Re(CO)3 complexes were synthesised from (Et4N)2[ReBr3(CO)3] (91% yield for the natRe-DPA-TFP ester, 76% yield for natRe-DPA-DACN) and characterised to confirm the identity of the 99mTc-complexes.

ABSTRACT

The traceless Staudinger ligation with its two variants is a powerful biorthogonal conjugation method not only for the connection of biomolecules, but also for the introduction of fluorescence- or radiolabels under mild reaction conditions. Herein, the strategic evaluation of the traceless Staudinger ligation for radiolabeling 99mTc using the fac-[Tc(CO)3]+ core is presented. A convenient and high-yielding three-step synthetic procedure of dipicolylamine-based phosphanols as ligands for the mild radiolabeling was developed. The labeling was accomplished using a tricarbonyl kit and a 99mTc-pertechnetate generator eluate showing 87% radiochemical conversion. The respective rhenium-based, non-radioactive reference compounds were synthesized using (Et4N)2[Re(CO)3Br3] as precursor. All products were analyzed by NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. Additional XRD analyses were performed.

ABSTRACT

Succinic dihydrazide (SDH), N-methyl-S-methyl dithiocarbazate (HDTCZ) and PEGylated N-methyl-S-methyl dithiocarbazate (HO2C-PEG600-DTCZ) are nitrido nitrogen atom donors employed for the preparation of nitride [M(N)]-complexes (M=(99m)Tc and (188)Re). This study aims to compare the capability and the efficiency of these three N(3-) group donors, in the preparation of [M(N)PNP]-based target-specific compounds (M=(99m)Tc, (188)Re; PNP=aminodiphosphine). For this purpose, three different kit formulations (SDH kit; HO2C-PEG600-DTCZ kit; HDTCZ kit) were assembled and used in the preparation of [M(N)(cys~)(PNP3)](0/+) complexes (cys~=cysteine derivate ligands). For each formulation, the radiochemical yield (RCY) of the [M(N)(~cys)(PNP3)] compounds, was determined by HPLC. The deviation of the percentage of RCY, due to changes in concentration of the N(3-) donors and of the exchanging ligand, was determined. For (99m)Tc, data clearly show that HDTCZ is the most efficient donor of N(3-); however, SDH is the most suitable nitrido nitrogen atom donor for the preparation of [(99m)Tc(N)(PNP)]-based target-specific agents with high specific activity. When HO2C-PEG600-DTCZ or HDTCZ are used in N(3-) donation, high amounts of the exchanging ligand (10(-4)M) were required for the formation of the final complex in acceptable yield. The possibility to use microgram amounts of HDTCZ also in [(188)Re(N)] preparation (0.050mg) reduces its ability to compete in ligand exchange reactions, minimizing the quantity of chelators required to obtain the final complex in high yield. This finding can be exploit for increasing the radiolabeling efficiency in [(188)Re(N)]-radiopharmaceutical preparations compared to the previously reported HDTCZ-based procedure, notwithstanding a purification process could be necessary to improve the specific activity of the complexes.

ABSTRACT

The synthesis, labeling, and biological evaluation of a dextran derivative (DCM-30-iso) as potential radiopharmaceutical for sentinel lymph node imaging is presented. DCM-30-iso bears mannose as active moiety and isocyanide as ligand for technetium through the formation of a '4+1' Tc(III) mixed-ligand complex. A second derivative without mannose (DC-25-iso) was also prepared and evaluated as control. DCM-30-iso and DC-25-iso were synthesized from dextran in four steps (>50% overall yield) and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Labeling with (99m)Tc was achieved by reaction with 2,2',2''-nitrilotris(ethanethiol) and (99m)Tc-EDTA. Radiochemical purity was above 90% and was stable for at least 4 hours postlabeling at 37°C. The identity of the (99m)Tc complex was established through comparative HPLC studies using the well-characterized analogous Re-DC-25-iso complex. Biodistribution and imaging experiments of (99m)Tc-DCM-30-iso showed high uptake in the popliteal lymph node, which could be blocked with preinjection of mannose, and very low uptake in other nodes and organs. The nonmannosylated (99m)Tc-DC-25-iso derivative showed negligible uptake in all lymph nodes. The novel dextran-mannose derivative DCM-30-iso can be successfully labeled with (99m)Tc to give a well-characterized '4+1' complex with favorable biological properties as sentinel lymph node imaging agent.

ABSTRACT

A new type of tetradentate S4 ligand has been synthesized by bridging two molecules of meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid for stable binding and easy conjugation of rhenium-188 to tumor targeting structures. The stereoisomeric tetrathiolato S4 ligands form very robust anionic five-coordinated oxorhenium(V) and oxotechnetium(V) complexes. Two routes for the preparation of the (188)Re(V) oxocomplexes with (iBu)2N(O)C-C(SH)C(SH)C(O)NH(CH2)3NH(CH2)3NHC(O)C(SH)C(SH)C(O)N(iBu)2 (ligand 1) and its hydrophilic crown ether derivative (ligand 2) were tested and optimized. Several isomers were separated by HPLC from the preparation solutions and characterized in vitro and in vivo. The identity of the species obtained was determined by comparison with the HPLC profiles of reference (185/187)Re analogues and (99/99m)Tc complexes which were characterized by ESI-MS. All of them were absolutely stable in rat and human plasma solutions. Challenge experiments with cysteine corroborated the high inertness of the isomers toward ligand exchange reactions. Various in vivo samples, taken off at different times from blood, intestine, and urine of rats, confirmed the high in vivo stability of the (188)Re-S4 complexes. Biodistribution studies using male Wistar rats were performed and exhibited a high uptake and fast clearance from the liver of the more lipophilic cis and trans isomers of complex I (log P(o/w) between 1.5 and 1.7), whereas the isomers of the hydrophilic complex II (log P(o/w) about -1.75) were rapidly excreted via the renal and the hepatobiliary pathway. The low level of activity in the stomach confirms good in vivo stability. Thus, these new (188)Re-S4 complexes fulfill the requirements for a stable and high specific activity labeling of biomolecules with rhenium-188.
