Synthesis of Diverse 11C-Labeled PET Radiotracers via Direct Incorporation of [11C]CO2
2016
Three new positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers of interest to our functional neuroimaging and translational oncology programs have been prepared through new developments in [11C]CO2 fixation chemistry. [11C]QZ (glutaminyl cyclase) was prepared via a tandem trapping of [11C]CO2/intramolecular cyclization; [11C]tideglusib (glycogen synthase kinase-3) was synthesized through a tandem trapping of [11C]CO2 followed by an intermolecular cycloaddition between a [11C]isocyanate and an isothiocyanate to form the 1,2,4-thiadiazolidine-3,5-dione core; [11C]ibrutinib (Bruton’s tyrosine kinase) was synthesized through a HATU peptide coupling of an amino precursor with [11C]acrylic acid (generated from [11C]CO2 fixation with vinylmagnesium bromide). All radiochemical syntheses are fully automated on commercial radiochemical synthesis modules and provide radiotracers in 1–5% radiochemical yield (noncorrected, based upon [11C]CO2). All three radiotracers have advanced to rodent imaging studies and preliminary ...
