Abstract
The substrate tolerance of the fluorinase enzyme (EC 2.5.1.63) is explored by introducing untested substituents at C-2 of the adenine ring. The most active analogues were N-alkylated amines and as a class these were much better than O- or S- ethers. The outcomes are supported by in silico analysis. This tolerance broadens the utility of the fluorinase as a tool for introducing the fluorine-18 isotope into ligands for positron emission tomography applications.
