Abstract
CXCR4 is a transmembrane receptor overexpressed in a large variety of cancer cells. In addition to classical antibody- and peptide-targeting for the development of positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals, this receptor possesses a range of small organic inhibitors that can be exploited. These are based mainly on nitrogen-rich scaffolds, such as AMD070, and cyclic polyamines, such as cyclam, in the AMD3100 skeleton. The latter has been explored as a direct 64Cu chelator, but examples of CXCR4 PET imaging with small organic targeting units are still scarce in the literature. Herein, the synthesis of two novel CXCR4-directed radiopharmaceuticals is described, combining the AMD070 scaffold as a targeting unit and bifunctional te1pa macrocycle as a strong 64Cu chelator. The synthesis of the conjugates and optimization of 64Cu-radiolabeling are presented, opening the way for future in vitro and in vivo studies.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
