The diethyl ester of [(18)F]ML-10 is a small molecule apoptotic PET probe for cancer studies. Here we report a novel multi-step synthesis of the diethyl ester of ML-10 in excellent yields via fluorination using Xtal-Fluor-E. In addition, a one-pot radiosynthesis of the diethyl ester of [(18)F]ML-10 from nucleophilic [(18)F]fluoride was completed in 23% radiochemical yield (decay corrected). The radiochemical purity of the product was ≥99%. The diethyl ester of [(18)F]ML-10 was used in vivo to detect apoptosis in the testes of mice. In parallel studies, the dansyl-ML-10 diethyl ester was prepared and used to detect apoptotic cells in an in vitro cell based assay.
[(18)F]ML-10的二乙酯是一种用于癌症研究的小分子凋亡正电子发射断层显像(PET)探针。在此,我们报告了一种通过使用Xtal-Fluor-E进行氟化反应,以优异产率合成ML-10二乙酯的新型多步合成方法。此外,由亲核性[(18)F]氟化物一锅法放射性合成[(18)F]ML-10的二乙酯,放射化学产率为23%(衰变校正)。产物的放射化学纯度≥99%。[(18)F]ML-10的二乙酯用于体内检测小鼠睾丸中的细胞凋亡。在平行研究中,制备了丹磺酰-ML-10二乙酯,并用于基于体外细胞的分析中检测凋亡细胞。
