There is currently no ideal radiotracer for imaging of protein synthesis rate (PSR) by positron emission tomography (PET). Existing fluorine-18-labeled amino acid-based radiotracers predominantly visualize amino acid transporter processes, and in many cases they are not incorporated into nascent proteins at all. Others are radiolabeled with the short-half-life positron emitter carbon-11, which is rather impractical for many PET centers. Based on the puromycin (6) structural manifold, a series of 10 novel derivatives of 6 was prepared via Williamson ether synthesis from a common intermediate. A bioluminescence assay was employed to study their inhibitory action on protein synthesis, which identified the fluoroethyl analogue 7b as a lead compound. The fluorine-18 analogue was prepared via nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding tosylate precursor in a modest radiochemical yield of 2 ± 0.6% with excellent radiochemical purity (>99%) and showed complete stability over 3 h at ambient temperature.

Newly synthesized proteins constitute an important subset of the proteome involved in every cellular process, yet existing chemical tools used to study them have major shortcomings. Herein we report a suite of cell-permeable puromycin analogues capable of being metabolically incorporated into newly synthesized proteins in different mammalian cells, including neuronal cells. Subsequent labeling with suitable bioorthogonal reporters, in both fixed and live cells, enabled direct imaging and enrichment of these proteins. By taking advantage of the mutually orthogonal reactivity of these analogues, we showed multiplexed labeling of different protein populations, as well as quantitative measurements of protein dynamics by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, could be achieved in live-cell environments. Tag and see: A suite of cell-permeable puromycin analogues that are capable of multiplexed imaging of newly synthesized proteins in live cells and neurons has been developed. For the first time, diffusion dynamics of newly synthesized proteins inside live neuron-like dendritic cells were quantitatively measured, revealing a heterogeneous behavior.

Protection (05′) of 2′,3′-anhydroadenosine with tert-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride and epoxide opening with dimethylboron bromide gave the 3′-bromo-3′-deoxy xylo isomer which was treated with benzylisocyanate to give the 2′-O-(N-benzylcarbamoyl) derivative. Ring closure gave the oxazolidinone, and successive deprotection concluded an efficient route to 3′-amino-3′-deoxyadenosine. Analogous treatment ofthe antibiotic tubercidin {7-deazaadenosine; 4-amino-7-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine} gave 3′-amino-3′-deoxytubercidin. Trifluoroacetylation of the 3′-amino function, elaboration of the heterocyclic amino group into a (1,2,4-triazol-4-yl) ring with N,N′-bis-[(dimethylamino)methylene]hydrazine, and nucleophilic aromatic substitution with dimethylamine gave puromycin aminonucleoside [9-(3-amino-3-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-6-(dimethylamino)purine] and its 7-deaza analogue. Aminoacylation [BOC-(4-methoxy-L-phenylalanine)] and deprotection gave puromycin and 7-deazapuromycin. Most reactions gave high yields at or below ambient temperature. Equivalent inhibition of protein biosynthesis in a rabbit reticulocyte system and parallel growth inhibition of several bacteria were observed with the 7-aza/deaza pair. Replacement of N7 in the purine ring of puromycin by "CH" has no apparent effect on biological activity.
