Development and preliminary evaluation of TFIB, a new bimodal prosthetic group for bioactive molecule labeling

The new readily available prosthetic group, tetrafluorophenyl 4-fluoro-3-iodobenzoate (TFIB), designed for both molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy purposes was radiolabeled either with fluorine or iodine radionuclides with excellent radiochemical yields and purities. These radiolabeled tags were conjugated to N,N-diethylethylenediamine to give melanin-targeting radiotracers [125I]9 and [18F]9, which were successfully evaluated by PET and gamma scintigraphic imaging in B16F0 pigmented melanoma-bearing C57BL/6J mice. Then, radiolabeled [125I]/[18F]TFIB was used to tag tumor-targeting peptides (i.e., PEG3[c(RGDyK)]2 and NDP-MSH targeting αvβ3 integrin and MC1R receptors, respectively) in mild conditions and with good radiochemical yields (47-83% d.c.) and purities (>99%). The resulting radiolabeled peptides were assessed both in vitro and by PET imaging in animal models.

Synthesis, radiolabeling and preliminary in vivo evaluation of multimodal radiotracers for PET imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy of pigmented melanoma

Melanin pigment represents an attractive target to address specific treatment to melanoma cells, such as cytotoxic radionuclides. However, less than half of the patients have pigmented metastases. Hence, specific marker is required to stratify this patient population before proceeding with melanin-targeted radionuclide therapy. In such a context, we developed fluorinated analogues of a previously studied melanin-targeting ligand, N-(2-diethylaminoethyl)-6-iodoquinoxaline-2-carboxamide (ICF01012). These latter can be labeled either with 18F or 131I/125I for positron emission tomography imaging (melanin-positive patient selection) and targeted radionuclide therapy purposes. Here we describe the syntheses, radiosyntheses and preclinical evaluations on melanoma-bearing mice model of several iodo- and fluoro(hetero)aromatic derivatives of the ICF01012 scaffold. After preliminary planar gamma scintigraphic and positron emission tomography imaging evaluations, [125I]- and [18F]-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]-4-fluoro-3-iodobenzamides ([125I]4, [18F]4) were found to be chemically and biologically stable with quite similar tumor uptakes at 1 h p.i. (9.7 ± 2.6% ID/g and 6.8 ± 1.9% ID/g, respectively).

The development of phenylethylene dendrons for blue phosphorescent emitters

New high triplet energy dendrons based on 1,2-diphenylethylene with and without 2-ethylhexyloxy surface groups have been developed for deep blue phosphorescent iridium(III) dendrimers. The fac-tris[1-methyl-5-(4-fluoro) phenyl-3-n-propyl-1H-[1,2,4]triazolyl]iridium(III)-cored dendrimers, bearing first generation 1,2-diphenylethylene dendrons on the ligand triazolyl and phenyl rings, were prepared in excellent yields, employing Sonogashira cross-couplings and palladium catalysed hydrogenation as the key synthetic steps. Both dendrimers showed good thermal stability although the flexible nature of the dendrons led to the materials having low glass transition temperatures. Dendrimer 15 (without the surface groups) emitted good blue phosphorescence with a solution photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 46%, Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) co-ordinates of (0.15, 0.14) and photoluminescence peaks at 441 and 468 nm. The solution PLQY was 50% higher than the parent iridium(III) complex showing that the high triplet energy of the diphenylethylene dendrons does not quench the luminescence of the iridium(III) complex core. Dendrimer 34, which has the surface groups, had a film PLQY of 49% and CIE co-ordinates of (0.16, 0.19) with PL peaks at 441 and 469 nm. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2009.

1,3-Diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin-An efficient reagent for iodination of aromatic compounds

1,3-Diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin in organic solvents successfully iodinates alkylbenzenes, aromatic amines, and phenyl ethers. The reactivity of electrophilic iodine is controlled by acidity of the medium. Superelectrophilic iodine generated upon dissolution of 1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin in sulfuric acid readily reacts with electron-deficient arenes at 0 to 20°C with formation of the corresponding iodo derivatives in good yields. The structure of electrophilic iodine species generated from 1,3-diiodo-5,5- dimethylhydantoin in sulfuric acid is discussed.

Superactivity and dual reactivity of the system N-iodosuccinimide-H 2SO4 in the iodination of deactivated arenes

Dissolution of N-iodosuccinimide in sulfuric acid gives rise to electrophilic iodine-containing species which are capable of successfully iodinating aromatic compounds with electron-withdrawing substituents in the temperature range from 0 to 20°C. The iodination in sulfuric acid is effected by both protonated N-iodosuccinimide and IOS(O)(OH+)OH intermediate.

The first regioselective metalation and functionalization of unprotected 4-halobenzoic acids

(Chemical Equation Presented) By treatment with s-BuLi, s-BuLi/TMEDA, or t-BuLi at ～-78°C, 4-fluoro- and 4-chlorobenzoic acids (1a,b) are metalated preferentially in the position adjacent to the carboxylate. A complete reversal in regioselectivity is observed for 1a when treated with LTMP; a sequential process involving a rapid intraaggregate lithiation through a quasi dianion complex "QUADAC" is postulated to explain the unusual reactivity of Me2S2 and I2.

2,4,6,8-Tetraiodoglycoluril in sulfuric acid as a new powerful reagent for iodination of deactivated arenes

Deactivated arenes are iodinated readily at 0°C by the action of 2,4,6,8-tetraiodoglycoluril in sulfuric acid to give the iodoarenes in generally good yields. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Halogenation reactions

A method of halogenating an aromatic compound which comprises the steps of reacting an halogenating agent with the aromatic compound in the presence of fluorine and an acid, wherein the halogenating agent is at least one of an iodinating agent, a brominating agent and an chlorinating agent.

Elemental fluorine. Part 4. Use of elemental fluorine for the halogenation of aromatics

New methodolgy for direct iodination of benzenoid compounds has been developed; the aromatic substrate is simply mixed with iodine and sulfuric acid, suspended in an inert medium, such as 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (CF2ClCFCl2) or perfluorocarbon, and elemental fluorine is passed through the system at room temperature. High conversions to iodoaromatic products occur, even with some deactivated systems, e.g. nitrobenzene. A very powerful brominating system is produced using the analagous methodology.
