- Synthesis and characterization of 18F-labeled hydrazinocurcumin derivatives for tumor imaging
-
Fluorine-substituted hydrazinocurcumin derivative 1 and its dimethyl-substituted form at the C2 and C6 positions (2) were synthesized and their radiolabeled forms, [18F]1 and [18F]2, were evaluated for tumor imaging. In vitro and in vivo metabolism studies showed that the two radioligands were resistant to reductive metabolism, probably due to the presence of a pyrazole ring. In cellular uptake studies, [18F]1 and [18F]2 exhibited comparable uptake by human umbilical vascular endothelial cells and rat C6 glioma cells. Inhibition of radioligand uptake to a similar extent by HC and curcumin suggests that these radioligands may share the same binding sites as those for HC and curcumin. Positron emission tomography imaging of C6 glioma xenografted mice acquired 30 and 60 min after radioligand injection showed that [18F]2 had markedly higher tumor uptake than [18F]1, which was consistent with biodistribution data (3.20 ± 0.35% ID per g vs. 0.98 ± 0.31% ID per g, respectively). However, the two radioligands showed similar levels of tumor-to-background uptake ratio, except for the significantly higher uptake of [18F]1 by the small intestine, indicating its more rapid clearance. The results of this study will guide further structural modifications of these radioligands to enhance tumor-to-background uptake ratios.

- Discovery of a dopamine D4 selective PET ligand candidate taking advantage of a click chemistry based REM linker
-
Employing D4 selective azaindoles as lead compounds, a focused library of the carbocyclic arene bioisosteres 1 was synthesized when we took advantage of the click chemistry derived triazolylmethyl acrylate resin 2. Ligand binding assays on monoaminergic GPCRs led to SARs that indicated further lead structure optimizations when the attachment of alkoxy substituents provided both an improvement of the biological properties and the opportunity to introduce 18F as a radioisotope. Finally, radiosynthesis resulted in formation of the radioligand [18F]7h that showed optimal log D7.4 of 2.8 and was determined to be highly stable in human serum. Thus, [18F]7h represents a promising dopamine D4 selective radioligand for positron emission tomography (PET).
