The use of light to control the expression of genes and the activity of proteins is a rapidly expanding field. While many of these approaches use a fusion between a light activatable protein and the protein of interest to control the activity of the latter, it is also possible to control the activity of a protein by uncaging a specific ligand. In that context, controlling the activation of a protein fused to the modified estrogen receptor (ERT) by uncaging its ligand cyclofen-OH has emerged as a generic and versatile method to control the activation of proteins quantitatively, quickly and locally in a live organism. Here, we present the experimental details behind this approach.

Cyclofenil analogs (2a-2f) and their fluorine-containing derivatives (3a-3f) were synthesized and evaluated as candidate ligands for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of estrogen receptors. Most of them show relatively high binding affinities comparable with estradiol (E2). (4-Fluoroethoxyphenyl)-(4-hydroxyphenyl) methylenecyclopentane (3a) showed both the highest binding affinity for ERs (88.6 for ERβ, 13.8 for ERα) and highest β/α ratio (β/α for 6.4-fold). The radioactive compound [18F]3a was prepared via displacement of the corresponding mesylate precursor 4 with [18F]fluoride (18F: β+; 96.7%, T1/2 = 109.8 min). The biodistribution studies in immature female SD rats demonstrated that the uptake in the uterus and ovaries were 1.358 ± 0.089% ID/g, 1.439 ± 0.214% ID/g, respectively, both of the ratios of uterus/blood and ovaries/blood was less than 2:1. Micro-PET imaging of immature female SD rats has also been reported.

Generally, FEt-penta-cyclofenil and its derivatives have greater relative binding affinity to estradiol receptors than estradiol. (4-Fluoroethoxyphenyl)- (4'-hydroxyphenyl) methylenecyclopentane and its derivatives were synthesized for potential radioactive image agents, and their structures were characterized by ultraviolet, infrared, 1H NMR, 19F NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
