The chelator was used to produce a novel Ga complex for positron emission tomography (PET). Unusually, this system is stabilized by a coordinated hydroxide in aqueous solutions above pH 5, which confers sufficient stability for it to be used for PET. complexes Ga in a hexadentate manner, forming a complex with log ([Ga()]) = 18.25. Above pH 5, the hydroxide ion coordinates the Ga ion following dissociation of a coordinated amine. radiolabeling displayed a pH-dependent speciation, with [Ga][Ga()(OH)] being formed above pH 5 and efficiently radiolabeled at pH 7.4. Surprisingly, [Ga][Ga()(OH)] was found to show an increased stability (for over 2 h in fetal bovine serum) compared to [Ga][Ga()]. The biodistribution of [Ga][Ga()(OH)] in healthy rats showed rapid clearance and excretion the kidneys, with no uptake seen in the lungs or bones.
螯合剂用于合成一种新型的正电子发射断层扫描(PET)用镓配合物。不同寻常的是,该体系在 pH 值高于 5 的水溶液中由配位的氢氧化物稳定,这使其具有足够的稳定性,可用于 PET。该配合物以六配位的方式稳定 Ga ,形成一个 log([Ga()])=18.25 的配合物。在 pH 值高于 5 时,氢氧根离子在配位的胺解离后与 Ga 离子配位。放射性标记显示出 pH 值依赖性的形态,在 pH 值高于 5 时形成[Ga][Ga()(OH)],在 pH 值为 7.4 时能有效进行放射性标记。令人惊讶的是,与[Ga][Ga()]相比,[Ga][Ga()(OH)]显示出了稳定性的提高(在胎牛血清中超过 2 小时)。[Ga][Ga()(OH)]在健康大鼠中的生物分布显示出肾脏的快速清除和排泄,肺部和骨骼均未见摄取。
