AI Article Synopsis

  • - A new method for creating a specific thiol-reactive compound, [ F]FPyME, was developed, improving the yield of its synthesis. - The synthesis involves a two-step one-pot procedure using a maleimide-containing nitro-precursor and a Diels-Alder adduct as starting materials. - The process includes nucleophilic radiofluorination and a heat-induced deprotection, achieving a 20% radiochemical yield in about 60 minutes, with the potential for creating similar compounds based on this technique.

Article Abstract

An improved high yielding radiosynthesis of the known thiol-reactive maleimide-containing prosthetic group1-[3-(2-[ F]fluoropyridine-3-yloxy)propyl]pyrrole-2,5-dione ([ F]FPyME) is described. The target compound was obtained by a two-step one-pot procedure starting from a maleimide-containing nitro-precursor that was protected as a Diels-Alder adduct with 2,5-dimethylfurane. Nucleophilic radiofluorination followed by heat induced deprotection through a Retro Diels Alder reaction yielded, after chromatographic isolation, [ F]FPyME with a radiochemical yield of 20% in about 60 min overall synthesis time. A variety of other [ F]fluoropyridine based maleimide-containing prosthetic groups should be accessible via the described synthetic strategy.

Background: Prosthetic approach for the radiolabeling of biologics with fluorine-18 is a robust strategy and has been employed for many years. It requires fast, biocompatible and selective reactions suited to these fragile molecules. Michael addition of a nucleophilic thiol moiety on α,β-unsaturated carbonyl entities is an interesting compromise between simplicity of preparation of the prosthetic reagent and control of the selectivity of the addition.

Early stage apoptosis is characterized by the externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS) from the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane to the outer periphery. Consequently, PS represents an excellent target for non-invasive imaging of apoptosis by positron emission tomography. Annexin V is a 36 kDa protein which binds with high affinity to PS.

The novel thiol-group-selective bifunctional 18F-labeling agent N-[6-(4-[18F]fluoro-benzylidene)aminooxyhexyl]maleimide ([18F]FBAM) has been developed. The bifunctional labeling precursor N-(6-aminoxyhexyl)maleimide containing a thiol-reactive maleimide group and a carbonyl-group-reactive aminooxy group was prepared in only three steps in a total chemical yield of 59%. Subsequent radiolabeling with 4-[18F]fluorobenzaldehyde gave the bifunctional 18F-labeling agent [18F]FBAM in a radiochemical yield of 29%.
