A general ¹¹C-labeling approach enabled by fluoride-mediated desilylation of organosilanes.

ABSTRACT: Carbon-11 (¹¹C) is one of the most ideal positron emitters for labeling bioactive molecules for molecular imaging studies. The lack of convenient and fast incorporation methods to introduce ¹¹C into organic molecules often hampers the use of this radioisotope. Here, a fluoride-mediated desilylation (FMDS) ¹¹C-labeling approach is reported. This method relies on thermodynamically favored Si-F bond formation to generate a carbanion, therefore enabling the highly efficient and speedy incorporation of [¹¹C]CO₂ and [¹¹C]CH₃I into molecules with diversified structures. It provides facile and rapid access to ¹¹C-labeled compounds with carbon-11 attached at various hybridized carbons as well as oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen atoms with broad functional group tolerance. The exemplified syntheses of several biologically and clinically important radiotracers illustrates the potentials of this methodology.

Direct 11CN-Labeling of Unprotected Peptides via Palladium-Mediated Sequential Cross-Coupling Reactions.

Project description:A practical procedure for 11CN-labeling of unprotected peptides has been developed. The method was shown to be highly chemoselective for cysteine over other potentially nucleophilic residues, and the radiolabeled products were synthesized and purified in less than 15 min. Appropriate for biomedical applications, the method could be used on an extremely small scale (20 nmol) with a high radiochemical yield. The success of the protocol stems from the use of a Pd-reagent based on a dihaloarene, which enables direct "nucleophile-nucleophile" coupling of the peptide and [11C]cyanide by temporal separation of nucleophile addition.

11C-Labeling of Aryl Ketones as Candidate Histamine Subtype-3 Receptor PET Radioligands through Pd(0)-Mediated 11C-Carbonylative Coupling.

Project description:Pd(0)-mediated coupling between iodoarenes, [11C]carbon monoxide and aryltributylstannanes has been used to prepare simple model [11C]aryl ketones. Here, we aimed to label four 2-aminoethylbenzofuran chemotype based molecules ([11C]1-4) in the carbonyl position, as prospective positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands for the histamine subtype 3 receptor (H3R) by adapting this methodology with use of aryltrimethylstannanes. Radiosynthesis was successfully performed on a platform equipped with a mini-autoclave and a liquid handling robotic arm, within a lead-shielded hot-cell. Candidate radioligands were readily formulated in saline containing ethanol (10%, v/v) and ascorbic acid (0.5 mg/10 mL). Yields for preclinical use were in the range of 5-9%, decay-corrected from cyclotron-produced [11C]CO₂ and molar activities were >115 GBq/µmol at end of synthesis. Radiochemical purities exceeded >97%.

Instantaneous Conversion of [11 C]CO2 to [11 C]CO via Fluoride-Activated Disilane Species.

Project description:The development of a fast and novel methodology to generate carbon-11 carbon monoxide ([11 C]CO) from cyclotron-produced carbon-11 carbon dioxide ([11 C]CO2 ) mediated by a fluoride-activated disilane species is described. This methodology allows up to 74 % conversion of [11 C]CO2 to [11 C]CO using commercially available reagents, readily available laboratory equipment and mild reaction conditions (room temperature). As proof of utility, radiochemically pure [carbonyl-11 C]N-benzylbenzamide was successfully synthesized from produced [11 C]CO in up to 74 % radiochemical yield (RCY) and >99 % radiochemical purity (RCP) in ≤10 min from end of [11 C]CO2 delivery.

Sulfur [18F]Fluoride Exchange Click Chemistry Enabled Ultrafast Late-Stage Radiosynthesis.

Project description:The lack of efficient [18F]fluorination processes and target-specific organofluorine chemotypes remains the major challenge of fluorine-18 positron emission tomography (PET). We report here an ultrafast isotopic exchange method for the radiosynthesis of novel PET agent aryl [18F]fluorosulfate enabled by the emerging sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx) click chemistry. The method has been applied to the fully automated 18F-radiolabeling of 25 structurally and functionally diverse aryl fluorosulfates with excellent radiochemical yield (83-100%, median 98%) and high molar activity (280 GBq μmol-1) at room temperature in 30 s. The purification of radiotracers requires no time-consuming HPLC but rather a simple cartridge filtration. We further demonstrate the imaging application of a rationally designed poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1)-targeting aryl [18F]fluorosulfate by probing subcutaneous tumors in vivo.

Facile preparation of organosilanes from benzylboronates and gem-diborylalkanes mediated by KOtBu.

Project description:Methods to efficiently synthesize organosilanes are valuable in the fields of synthetic chemistry and materials science. During the past decades, boron conversion has become a generic and powerful approach for constructing carbon-carbon and other carbon-heteroatom bonds, but its potential application in forming carbon-silicon remains unexplored. Herein, we describe an alkoxide base-promoted deborylative silylation of benzylic organoboronates, geminal bis(boronates) or alkyltriboronates, allowing for straightforward access to synthetically valuable organosilanes. This selective deborylative methodology exhibits operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, excellent functional group compatibility and convenient scalability, providing an effective and complementary platform for the generation of diversified benzyl silanes and silylboronates. Detailed experimental results and calculated studies revealed an unusual mechanistic feature of this C-Si bond formation.

C-H Labeling with [18F]Fluoride: An Emerging Methodology in Radiochemistry.

Project description:Fluorine-18 is the most routinely employed radioisotope for positron emission tomography, a dynamic nuclear imaging modality. The radiolabeling of C-H bonds is an attractive method for installing fluorine-18 into organic molecules since it can preclude the cumbersome prefunctionalization of requisite precursors. Although electrophilic "F+" reagents (e.g., [18F]F2) are effective for C-H radiolabeling, state-of-the-art methodologies predominantly leverage high molar activity nucleophilic [18F]fluoride sources (e.g., [18F]KF) with substantial (pre)clinical advantages. Reflecting this, multiple nucleophilic C-H radiolabeling techniques of high utility have been disclosed over the past decade. However, the adoption of (pre)clinical C-H radiolabeling has been slow, and PET imaging agents are still routinely prepared via methods that, despite a high level of practicality, are limited in scope (e.g., SNAr, SN2 radiofluorinations). By addressing the drawbacks inherent to these strategies, C-H radiofluorination and radiofluoroalkylation carry the potential to complement and supersede state-of-the-art labeling methods, facilitating the expedited production of PET agents used in disease staging and drug development. In this Outlook, we showcase recent C-H labeling developments with fluorine-18 and discuss the merits, potential, and barriers to adoption in (pre)clinical settings. In addition, we highlight trends, challenges, and directions in this emerging field of study.

Copper(I)-Mediated 11C-Carboxylation of (Hetero)arylstannanes.

Project description:A novel copper-mediated carboxylation strategy of aryl- and heteroaryl-stannanes is described. The method serves as a mild (i.e., 1 atm) carboxylation method using stable carbon dioxide and is transferable as a radiosynthetic approach for carbon-11-labeled aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids using sub-stoichiometric quantities of [11C]CO2. The methodology was applied to the radiosynthesis of the retinoid X receptor agonist, [11C]bexarotene, with a decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 32 ± 5% and molar activity of 38 ± 23 GBq/μmol (n = 3).

A General Approach to O-Sulfation by a Sulfur(VI) Fluoride Exchange Reaction.

Project description:O-sulfation is an important chemical code widely existing in bioactive molecules, but the scalable and facile synthesis of complex bioactive molecules carrying O-sulfates remains challenging. Reported here is a general approach to O-sulfation by the sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) reaction between aryl fluorosulfates and silylated hydroxy groups. Efficient sulfate diester formation was achieved through systematic optimization of the electronic properties of aryl fluorosulfates. The versatility of this O-sulfation strategy was demonstrated in the scalable syntheses of a variety of complex molecules carrying sulfate diesters at various positions, including monosaccharides, disaccharides, an amino acid, and a steroid. Selective hydrolytic and hydrogenolytic removal of the aryl masking groups from sulfate diesters yielded the corresponding O-sulfate products in excellent yields. This strategy provides a powerful tool for the synthesis of O-sulfate bioactive compounds.

[18F] Sodium Fluoride Dose Reduction Enabled by Digital Photon Counting PET/CT for Evaluation of Osteoblastic Activity.

Project description:The aim of the study was to assess the quality and reproducibility of reducing the injected [18F] sodium fluoride ([18F]NaF) dose while maintaining diagnostic imaging quality in bone imaging in a preclinical skeletal model using digital photon counting PET (dPET) detector technology. Beagles (n = 9) were administered three different [18F]NaF doses: 111 MBq (n = 5), 20 MBq (n = 5), and 1.9 MBq (n = 9). Imaging started ≃45 min post-injection for ≃30 min total acquisition time. Images were reconstructed using Time-of-Flight, ultra-high definition (voxel size of 1 × 1 × 1 mm3), with 3 iterations and 3 subsets. Point spread function was modeled and Gaussian filtering was applied. Skeleton qualitative and quantitative molecular image assessment was performed. The overall diagnostic quality of all images scored excellent (61%) and acceptable (39%) by all the reviewers. [18F]NaF SUVmean showed no statistically significant differences among the three doses in any of the region of interest assessed. This study demonstrated that a 60-fold [18F]NaF dose reduction was not significantly different from the highest dose, and it had not significant effect on overall image quality and quantitative accuracy. In the future, ultra-low dose [18F]NaF dPET/CT imaging may significantly decrease PET radiation exposure to preclinical subjects and personnel.

[11 C]Fluoroform, a Breakthrough for Versatile Labeling of PET Radiotracer Trifluoromethyl Groups in High Molar Activity.

Project description:Positron-emission tomography (PET) is an immensely important imaging modality in biomedical research and drug development but must use selective radiotracers to achieve biochemical specificity. Such radiotracers are usually labeled with carbon-11 (t1/2 =20 min) or fluorine-18 (t1/2 =110 min), but these are only available from cyclotrons in a few simple chemical forms. [18 F]Fluoroform has emerged for labeling tracers in trifluoromethyl groups but is severely limited in utility by low radioactivity per mass (low molar activity). Here, the synthesis of [11 C]fluoroform is described, based on CoF3 -mediated fluorination of cyclotron-produced [11 C]methane. This process is efficient and repetitively reliable. [11 C]Fluoroform shows versatility for labeling small molecules in very high molar activity (>200 GBq μmol-1 ), far exceeding that possible by using [18 F]fluoroform. Therefore, [11 C]fluoroform represents a major breakthrough for labeling prospective PET tracers in trifluoromethyl groups at high molar activity.
