Full textPET is a medical imaging technique that uses positron-emitting radioactive atoms. One of the most common isotope used for PET imaging isfluorine-18, but the low reactivity of [¹⁸F]fluoride anion is still associated with labelling issues of some specific compounds. The introduction of fluorine on a non-activated aromatic ring remains a radiosynthesis challenge, limiting the development of radiotracers involving such scaffold. The first part of this work deals with the development of new strategies of radiofluorination using boron,known to have a high affinity with fluorine. Two approaches have been studied. The first one is based on the use of a boron atom to guide aromatic fluorination through a concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The second one was the use of the fluorophilic borylated compounds aiming to tranfer aqueous [¹⁸F]fluorides anions produced in the cyclotron to an organic solvent to eliminate drying steps of the [¹⁸F]fluorides usually required. The second part of this work describes the radiolabeling of binimetinib, a drug prescribed for the treatment of BRAF mutant melanomas. Binimetinib is an inhibitor of the MAPK enzyme carrying two fluorine atoms. Beyond the challenge of [¹⁸F]binimetinib synthesis, this compound could be a key for the stratification of patients suffering from cancers involving specific mutations deregulating the RAS signalling pathway involved in cell survival and proliferation mechanism

Full textPositron Emission Tomography has emerged as a major technique of molecular imaging for the visualization and understanding of biological targets or phenomena. Indeed, thanks to its excellent sensitivity and the minor structural modifications of the radio-labeled compounds following introduction of the selected radio-isotope, there is almost no limitation in terms of targeted substrates. For example, in the case of sensitive substrates such as peptides or proteins, which are increasingly proposed as biological targets, the introduction of the radio-isotope under mild conditions is ensured by means of a prosthetic group. As a proof of its interest, PET has now been combined with other imaging techniques, such as fluorescent optical imaging or MRI, to build bimodal sensors. This growing area represents a breakthrough in the field of molecular imaging. During this PhD work, new prosthetic groups based on sultones units were synthesized. The advantageous properties of sultones have been used for the automated radio-syntheses of these prosthetic groups, which could be applied to the radio-labeling of a bio-relevant peptide. Our research interests then focused on the synthesis of fluorinated organic fluorophores, as preliminary work for the preparation of bimodal sensors. We especially designed a general way to radio-label and water-solubilize amino-based fluorophores through an efficient acylation reaction involving a previously-designed prosthetic group. This new strategy was applied for the preparation of a radio-fluorinated cyanine whose spectral properties are suitable for in vivo application

Full textThe fluoropyridinyl moieties have become of increasing importance in the development of drug candidates as well as of radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging after radiolabeling with fluorine-18. Although 3/5-[18F]fluoropyridines are more stable in vivo than their 2,4 or 6 radiofluorinated analogues, their radiosynthesis by nucleophilic pathway from cyclotron produced [18F]fluoride remains difficult and poorly documented. In this context, the work focused on the development of a robust and general route to 3/5-[18F]fluoropyridines based on the radiofluorination of iodonium precursors. In a first part, the preparation of about twenty iodonium salts containing a pyridine or pyridinium scaffold, has been developed. A second part was devoted to the optimization of the radiofluorination reaction of iodonium salts. This study highlighted the important role of TEMPO and K2CO3 in this reaction. Finally, the last part was dedicated to the radiosynthesis of 3/5-[18F]fluoropyridines bearing carboxamide or amine groups according to a multistep approach. All the results showed that radiofluorination of iodonium triflates in the presence of TEMPO was an efficient, general and robust method for the radiosynthesis of 3/5-[18F]fluoropyridines. This method was also successfully transposed on two automated systems

Full textThe use of peptides or proteins labeled with fluorine-18, as agents for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a rapidly growing field. Thus, the objective of our work was to create and to synthesize new glycosyl prosthetic groups, which are analogs of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG). The particularity of these compounds is their azide moiety which enables a simple and efficient ligation with alkynylated amino acids via a Huisgen type reaction or “click Chemistry”. The first goal was to study the ideal position for the introduction of the azide moiety on the sugar, either at the C-1 or C-6 position. In order to evaluate the incorporation of fluorine-18, two different strategies were developed to obtain two generations of labeled precursors and cold references. The second objective was to synthesize alkynylated phenylalanine, cysteine and gluthation derivatives to test the “click Chemistry” ligation method with the best prosthetic group

Full textThe work presented in this manuscript aims to describe the synthesis of new ligands of the translocation protein 18 kDa (TSPO), their in vitro evaluation and, for the most promising candidates, their isotopic radiolabelling with the short-lived positron emitter fluorine-18 (t1/2 : 109.8 minutes). The ultimate goal of this work consists in developing new molecular probes, or biomarkers, for imaging neuroinflammation in a non-invasive and atraumatic manor using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Neuroinflammatory processes have been identified in Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases, MS and various psychiatric pathologies.The radioligand of choice for imaging TSPO is currently [18F]DPA-714, a pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine radiolabelled with fluorine-18 which has been recently prepared in our laboratories. However, [18F]DPA-714 undergoes a rapid in vivo loss of the radioactive fluorine by cleavage of the fluoroalkoxy chain as demonstrated in metabolic studies. Therefore, my PhD project aimed to design and develop new structurally related analogues of DPA-714 where the linkage between the main backbone and the fluorine-18 would be reinforced. To this extent, nineteen compounds were prepared and their affinity towards the TSPO was evaluated. Two promising candidates, coded DPA-C5yne and CfO-DPA-714, were radiolabelled with fluorine-18 with good radiochemical yields (20-30 %) and high specific radioactivities (50-90 GBq/µmol). These radioligands were also evaluated by PET imaging at the preclinical stage and displayed equivalent or slightly improved results when compared to [18F]DPA-714

Full textFluorine-18 radiolabeling of biologics is a challenge in radiochemistry due to their increasing interest in molecular imaging. Biologics, and particularly peptides, offer molecular diversity and often higher specific and selective in vivo targeting compared to low molecular weight molecules. However, fluorine-18-radiolabeling standard conditions could not be used directly because biologics would suffer from these drastic conditions. Only a few direct radiolabeling methods are available and present some drawbacks (high temperature, low molar activity, lack of versatility…). Therefore, a two-steps prosthetic radiolabeling approach remains the method of choice. This sequential strategy involves the preparation of a fluorine-18-labeled molecule, called prosthetic group, which is then conjugated with the macromolecule in biocompatible chemical conditions. The aim of this PhD work was to develop new general methods for the radiolabeling of biologics directed toward in vivo radiolabeling applications. Major issues were time and radiosynthesis processes with regard to the fluorine-18 half life, automatization as well as constant rate and bioorthogonality of conjugation reactions for applications in complex and diluted environment.The first part is devoted to the study of three click chemistry reactions, CuAAC, SPAAC and SPSAC leading to enhanced reaction rates and biocompatibility. Specific prosthetic groups were developed for each reaction and their conjugation was studied with model compounds. Furthermore, a methodological study involving the radiofluorination of substituted pyridines was initiated for the production of entities for mild radiolabeling conditions compatible with a “pre-conjugation” to the biologics before radiofluorination. Finally, an enzymatic labeling approach using the SNAP-tag self-labeling enzyme was explored and a specific radiofluorinated substrate was synthesized. These different approaches allowed an extent of the panel of methods for effective and biocompatible radiolabeling of biologics

Full textPositron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful molecular-imaging technique for physiological and biologicalinvestigations in various areas, such as oncology, cardiology, and neurosciences, as well as for drug development.Due to the increasing need of this technique for in vivo applications, there is always a demand for the developmentof new tracers and radiolabeling strategies. Furthermore, because of their excellent targeting capacities and easysynthesis along with a high level of diversity, oligonucleotides are already extensively used in vitro as ligands fornucleic acids (antisense oligonucleotides), proteins, and small related molecules (aptamer oligonucleotides). Theuse of aptamers for in vivo imaging appears especially promising, because of the wide range of possibilitiesavailable to introduce variations in their structure through defined chemical modifications. However, only fewexamples of oligonucleotide labeling for PET have been reported. In this context, we have developed twomethodological ways to introduce the radioisotope (11C, 18F), by ‘‘click’’ chemistry, at the last radiosynthesis stepin order to label nucleoside and oligonucleotide as potential radiotracers for PET

Full textAminoacid transporters are often overexpressed in tumour cells and they represent molecular targets of choice for cancer imaging by Positron Emission Tomography (PET). In order to access to specific radiotracers of these transporters, the thesis project aimed at developing – in a first part, a new 18F-radiolabeling method of fluoroaminoacids based on deoxyradiofluorination of hydroxyaminoester precursors via an aziridinium intermediate – and in a second part, the radiolabelling with carbon-11 of sulfasalazine, an selective inhibiter of Xc- transporters. Deoxyradiofluorination reaction of stable and easily accessible hydroxyaminoesters possessing a serine, methylserine or hydroxyphenylalanine moiety, led to [18F]fluoroaminoesters at room temperature in high and reproducible radiochemical yields. Regioselectivity was function of the substituents on aziridinium ring and amine function. The radiosynthesis of [11C]sulfasalazine has been successfully achieved by coupling reaction of an appropriate diazonium salt with [11C]salicylic acid, obtained by [11C]carboxylation of a bismagnesium precursor from iodophenol. The automation of the radiosynthesis is in progress to produce [11C]sulfasalazine for in vivo studies

Full textIt has been recognized that hypoxia plays a major negative role in overall tumor progression. The identification and quantitative estimation of tumor hypoxia by means of nuclear imaging is an important factor in planning the therapeutic strategy for a better clinical outcome. In the present work, a new 99mTc tracer for imaging tumor hypoxia has been successfully developed. New organosilicon fluorinated derivatives were also studied. Every synthesized compounds incorporated a nitroimidazole moiety, which is selectively trapped in hypoxic cells. The second part of this work, led to the development of a new nucleophilic fluorination strategy for the preparation of PET tracers. The new strategy was attempted for the preparation of Fluorodeoxyglucose. In the course of this study, a novel oxidative deprotection method of thiols was developed. Herein was described, the synthesis of sulfonic acid derivatives by oxidative deprotection of thiols using tert-butyl hypochlorite

Full textThis work focused on the development of versatile platforms for fluorine-18 labelling. The first platform contained a sultone moiety which was converted to [18F]fluorosulfonate by ring opening with [18F]fluoride. The sultone was coupled to 2-nitroimidazolyl ligands to obtain radiotracers for hypoxia PET imaging. A series of compounds were synthesized in order to compare their performance in PET imaging. Among them, [18F]FLUSONIM displayed high tumor/background ratios after a short delay post-injection on different animal models (rabdomyosarcoma, glioblastoma and melanoma). The second platform was based on a boratrane structure, that was able to captur [18F]fluoride in aqueous medium to form zwiterionic [18F]monofluoroborate

Full textCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Atherosclerosis, which leads to the obstruction of large arteries, represents 50% of deaths in industrialized societies. Rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque can lead to several complications which, depending on the site, can cause stroke or myocardial infarction.To address this public health issue, there is a real need to develop new diagnostic tools to prevent these cardiovascular complications in a high risk population in Reunion island. However, no potent tool is available to doctors in order to predict the formation of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques. Nuclear medicine with its high sensibility could offer new powerful diagnostic tools in order to assess vulnerable atheroma formation. Among all biomarkers available to the scientific community, we chose Lp-PLA2 (Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2) which is an enzyme associated to inflammatory processes (produced by monocytes and macrophages) as a target for PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging of atherosclerosis.Our work describes the radiolabelling of a potent inhibitor of this enzyme: Darapladib and associated analogs. We were able to perform its radiolabelling and to study its potential accumulation in atheroma murin models and in ex vivo human endarterectomy pieces

Full textPositron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technique which requires the use of radiopharmaceuticals and provides the in vivo visualization of various biological phenomena at a molecular level. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death involved in various pathologies as ischemia, cancers or autoimmune diseases. Several therapies trigger apoptosis in particular in the field of oncology. The in vivo vizualisation of apoptosis is a main stake for diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring of therapies. Several isatins as caspases-3 inhibitors were radiolabelled and evaluated in vivo in a rat model of cerebral ischemia. [18F]-ML-10 and an radiolabelled isatin both used as standard radiotracers were radiolabelled and evaluated within the same animal model as comparative references. None of those radiotracers permitted to image the apoptosis phenomenon induced by the cerebral ischemia. β-Fluoroamine moiety is present in various [18F]-radiolabelled molecules. A new method for the radiolabelling of β-[18F]-fluoroamines was developed by opening of aziridinium ring by [18F]-fluoride ion. This method allows a nucleophilic substitution reaction at room temperature starting from stable β-aminoalcohols providing an aziridinium intermediate. This radiolabelling reaction was applied with success to various molecules including known radiopharmaceuticals

Full textDesign and synthesis of new Bambusurils for biological applications and molecular imagingBambus[n]urils, R₈BU[4] and R₁₂BU[6], are synthetic cyclic macromolecules that belong to the cucurbit[n]urils families. They are composed of n-substituted glycoluril units connected via n-methylene bridges. The R₁₂BU[6], are able to bind anion inside their cavity with a good association constant through hydrogen bonds.In our laboratory, bambusurils bearing allyl functions, named Allyl₈BU[4] and Allyl₁₂BU[6], were efficiently prepared. These bambusurils were functionalized by ring-closing metathesis or thiol-ene click coupling to introduce 1 to 12 functions like ester, acids and glycosides.To develop the family of bambusurils, new bambusurils with propargyl functions were synthesized. The synthesis of the Propargyl₈BU[4] and Propargyl₁₂BU[6] were optimized. Theses BUs were functionalized by click chemistry with different azides like ester, benzyl and glycoside to dispose of new multivalent systems with a valency of 8 for the BU[4] and 12 for the BU[6]. For the first time, glycoBambusurils functionalized with D-mannose derivatives were prepared, and their antibacterial activities were assayed. Moreover, iminosugar from the family of the azido alkylated déoxynojirimycine, were grafted on the PropargylBUs to afford new inhibitors of glycosidases. These results show the importance of bambusuril scaffold and of the multivalence effect improve the affinity of the glycoBUs for the target.The association constants of R₁₂BU[6] functionalized, soluble in aqueous media for iodide were determined by isothermal titration calorimetry. The results show a good affinity of R12BU[6] for iodide (Ka ≃ 10⁵ M⁻¹).We studied as well an application of bambusuril for molecular imaging. A new bambusuril with biological ligands was designed and synthesized to introduce a bimodal probe PET/Optical in the last step. This probe will allow the combination of clinical diagnostic with PET and optical imaging. A proof of concept was realized with a function ¹⁸F labelled

Full textPositron Emission Tomography (PET), a modality of functional medical imaging, has been developing for about 15 years. In oncology, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET has become a main tool for cancer diagnosis. However, FDG cannot detect and monitor all types of cancer. Thus research is continuing, exploring new applications for other documented tracers and developing more specific and targeted tracers than analogues of metabolic substrates. The first study of this doctorate was done with 68Ga-DOTATOC PET in preclinical model of neuroblastoma (NB), which share some biologic properties with neuroendocrine tumours, frequently expressing somatostatin receptors subtype 2 (SSTR2). Our aim was to compare FDG and 68Ga-DOTATOC PET in 3 different mouse models of human NB that express SSTR2 at different levels. The second study compared FDG and 68Ga-RGD, a ligand of integrins, in a mouse model of human glioblastoma (GB) that overexpresses αvβ3 integrin. Both tracers have been evaluated in monitoring 4 groups of animals untreated or treated with an anti-angiogenic agent and/or chemotherapy. The third study compared the 18F-RGD-K5 and 68Ga-RGD in a mouse model bearing human GB and pulmonary carcinoma, which has a low expression of αvβ3 integrin. The potential of those tracers for monitoring an anti-angiogenic treatment was subsequently studied. Both 68Ga-DOTATOC and FDG allowed visualizing the different models of NB. There was a correlation between tumour uptake of FDG and of 68Ga-DOTATOC and, ex vivo, with SSTR2 and Ki-67. 68Ga-RGD, unlike FDG, discriminated responders after 6 days of treatment. Results with 18F-RGD-K5 and 68Ga-RGD were concordant, but 18F-RGD-K5 was more efficient than 68Ga-RGD for visualization and treatment monitoring GB

Full textThe synthesis of new radiotracers to diagnose earlier Alzheimer's disease by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a rapidly growing field. Inisitol derivatives, which show aggregative properties to amyloid plaques, have been chosen as scaffold to create and synthesize new radiolabelled compounds for a early diagnostic. Four types of radiotracers have been designed. The first one is the scyllo-inositol in which one hydroxyl group is replaced by a fluorine-18. The second and third generations are inositols in myo and scyllo configurations where the fluorine-18 atom is carried by an alkyl chain. The structure of inositols is then preserved. Finally for the last generation, the alkyl chain bearing the fluorine-18 is introduced via an ether linkage. The synthesis of this type of molecules allows the incorporation of a longer spacer

Full text3-Desoxi-3-[18F]Fluor-Timidina (18FLT) é um análogo radioativo do nucleosídeo timidina usado desde 1998 em exames de tomografia por emissão de pósitrons (PET) para diagnóstico de vários tipos de tumores, como de mama, pulmonar, colorretal, cerebral, entre outros. Seu uso amplia a cobertura dos exames PET em diagnóstico de câncer, já que existem limitações da [18F]Fludesoxiglicose (18FDG), o radiofármaco PET mais usado no mundo atualmente. Para implementação da produção de 18FLT, na Unidade de Pesquisa e Produção de Radiofármacos do Centro de Desenvolvimento da Tecnologia Nuclear (UPPR/CDTN), o módulo de síntese de 18FDG foi adaptado usando-se 3 protocolos nos quais se variou a concentração de etanol (0; 8 e 10% V/V). Também foram desenvolvidos testes de Controle de Qualidade, como pH, determinação de catalisador, determinação de etanol e acetonitrila, pureza química e radioquímica, entre outros. A formulação foi avaliada in vitro quanto a sua segurança, pelos ensaios de viabilidade metabólica (MTT) e toxicidade clonogênica, e quanto a sua eficácia para a detecção de tumores pelo ensaio de interação (Binding). Os rendimentos corrigidos obtidos da síntese de 18FLT foram 6,52%; 253% e 233% para o 1, o 2 e o 3 protocolo, respectivamente. O produto do protocolo 3 (Etanol 8%) apresentou menor citotoxicidade no teste in vitro MTT do que o do segundo (Etanol 10%). Além disso, a formulação de 18FLT e as impurezas químicas presentes na mesma não afetaram a clonogenicidade das células testadas. Com base nestes resultados o protocolo 3 foi escolhido como a síntese padrão de 18FLT. A interação da 18FLT com as linhagens celulares foi saturável, com ligação específica maior que 90%, atestando a eficácia do radiofármaco na detecção de tumores. A afinidade do radiofármaco 18FLT por células de glioblastoma humano (U87MG) foi da ordem de 0,24 μmol/L (Kd). Por fim, constatou-se que quantidades adicionais de timidina e clorotimidina, duas impurezas presentes na formulação, reduziram significativamente a interação de 18FLT (IC50 ~ 1 - 34 μmol/L) com as células tumorais, o que pode reduzir sua eficácia para o diagnóstico. Assim, sugere-se que um valor máximo seja estabelecido para a concentração destas impurezas como um dos critérios de Pureza Química de 18FLT, baseando-se no ensaio de eficácia de interação. Portanto, a UPPR/CDTN está apta a fornecer rotineiramente o radiofármaco 18FLT para estudos não clínicos e clínicos, de acordo com os requisitos de Boas Práticas de Fabricação de Medicamentos exigidos pela ANVISA.
3-Deoxy-3-[18F]Fluorothymidine (18FLT) is a Thymidine radioactive analog that is being used since 1998 for cancer diagnostics by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for several types of cancer, as breast, lung, colorectal, brain, among others. Its use extends coverage of PET scans in diagnosis of cancers in certain organs and tissues, since there are limitations of [18F] Fludeoxyglucose (18FDG), which is the most used PET radiopharmaceutical in the world today. An 18FDG synthesis module was adapted to implement 18FLT production in Research and Production Unit of Radiopharmaceuticals from Center of Nuclear Technology Development (UPPR/CDTN). Three protocols were used varying the concentration of ethanol (0%, 8% and 10%). Quality control tests were also developed, as pH, catalyst determination, ethanol and acetonitrile determination, chemical and radiochemical purity, amongst others. The formulation was evaluated in vitro for its safety, using the metabolic viability (MTTs assay) and clonogenic toxicity assays, and for its effectiveness in tumors, using the binding test. The corrected yields were 6.52%; 253%; and 233% for the first, second and third synthesis protocols, respectively. The third protocol (Ethanol 8%) was found to be less cytotoxicity comparing to the second one (Ethanol 10%). Furthermore, 18FLT chemical impurities and the entire formulation did not affect the clonogenicity of the cells in Clonogenic Assay. Based on these results the protocol 3 was chosen as the standard 18FLT synthesis. The interaction of 18FLT with the cell lines was saturable, with specific binding higher than 81%, confirming the effectiveness of the radiopharmaceutical in tumor detection. The affinity between 18FLT and human glioblastoma cells (U87MG) was found to be 0.24 μmol/L (Kd). Finally, it was found that additional quantities of thymidine and chlorothymidine reduced significantly 18FLT interaction (IC50 ~ 1 - 34 μmol/L) with tumor cells, which can reduce its effectiveness in PET diagnosis. For this reason it is suggested that a maximum value must be set for the concentration of these impurities in the 18FLT Chemical Purity quality control test based in efficacy binding assays. Therefore, CDTN is able to routinely provide 18FLT radiopharmaceutical for clinical and non clinical studies, according to the Brazilian Good Manufacturing Practices for Radiopharmaceuticals required by ANVISA.

Full textRNA interference is a powerful tool to specifically inhibit the expression of a gene. In vivo, the use of oligonucleotides is limited by their poor bioavailability and delivery (molecules rapidly degraded and eliminated, which do not cross easily the cell membranes). It is possible to introduce chemical modifications in the siRNAs, or to conjugate them with vectorisation system, to improve their pharmaceutical properties. However, these modifications could reduce the biological effect of the siRNAs, or induce non specific interactions or biodistributions. Therefore tools are needed to carefully evaluate the effect of the oligonucleotide modifications in their in vivo behaviour. Here we used molecular imaging to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, and the in vivo activity, of modified siRNAs. We prepared chemically modified siRNAs and (i) evaluated their in vitro RNAi efficiency, (ii) labelled them with Fluorine-18 and analyzed their in vivo biodistribution by Positron Emission Tomography Imaging and plasmatic metabolism by HPLC, and (iii) evaluated their in vivo RNAi activity by Optical Imaging. Our results show that the siRNAs pharmaceutical properties are really improved compared to single-stranded antisens. The developed methods are applicable to several siRNAs chemical modifications, or vectorisation strategies, and give useful information for the development of siRNAs as new therapeutic reagents

Full textPositron emission tomography (PET) is a high-resolution, sensitive, molecular, and functional imaging technique. It permits repeated, noninvasive assessment and quantification of specific biological and pharmacological processes and is the most advanced technology currently available for studying in vivo molecular interactions. Radioligands labeled with the positron-emitters carbone-11 (half-life : 20. 4 minutes) or with fluorine-18 (half-life : 109. 8 minutes) have been developed in this thesis to image the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor NR2B subunit (part one) or image the nAChR α4β2 subunit (part two) with PET. In the first part, two antagonists have been synthesized and labeled with carbone-11 : the 6-[3-[4-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperidino]propionyl]-3H-benzoxazol-2-[11C]one ([11C]EMD-95885) and the 5-[3-(4-benzylpiperidin-1-yl)prop-1-ynyl]-1,3-dihydrobenzo-imidazol-2-[11C]one. In the second part, four agonists have been synthesised and labeled with fluor-18 or with carbone-11 : the 2-exo-(2'-[18F]fluoro-3'-phenyl-pyridin-5'-yl)-7-azabicyclo[2. 2. 1]heptane, the 2-exo-(2'-[18F]fluoro-3'-(4-fluorophenyl)-pyridin-5'-yl)-7-azabicyclo[2. 2. 1]heptane, the (-)-9-(2-[18F]fluoropyridyl)cytisine and the {(R)-2-[6-chloro-5-((E)-2-pyridin-4-yl-vinyl)-pyridin-3-yloxy]-1-methyl-ethyl}-[11C]methyl-amine. Pharmacological profile were assessed using biodistribution studies, brain radioactivity monitoring using intracerebral radiosensitive beta-microprobes in rat and finally brain PET imaging in non-humans primates

Full textNeuroinflammation plays an important role in many neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer, Parkinson, Multiple sclerosis …) and recent developments in molecular imaging provide today new insights into the diagnostic and the treatement managment of these diseases. Among the existing imaging techniques, the highly sensitive and quantitative nuclear modalities SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) but especially PET (positron emission tomography) play key roles. My PhD program is devoted to the design and synthesis of novel radioligands, all dedicated to the imaging of specific targets and processes linked to neuroinflammation. For this, PET and the short-lived positron-emitter fluorine-18 (T1/2: 109.8 min) remain the main focuses. The project has been divided into two sections, the first one concentrates on the development of novel ligands targeting the Translocator Protein 18 kDa (TSPO). Indeed, this target is today recognized as an early biomarker of neuroinflammatory processes and PK11195, an isoquinoline carboxamide labelled with carbon-11, was, in the late 80’s, the first reported PET-radioligand. More recently, new compounds, all belonging to different chemical classes, have emerged and notably the pyrazolopyrimidine acetamide [11C]DPA-713 and the pyridazinoindole acetamide [11C]SSR180575. Within the first section of my PhD, novel derivatives of both DPA-713 and SSR180575 have been synthesized and in vitro characterized. Dedicated precursors for labelling were also developed for the most promising candidates, and radiolabelling has been performed. Some results have been presented at the 21st International Symposium on Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (Columbia, MO, USA – May 26-31, 2015).The second part of my PhD, deals with the development of ligands for alternative targets to the TSPO, like the type-2 cannabinoid receptor (CB2R) and the purinergic P2Y14 / P2Y12 receptors, the latter emerging today as a hot topic for imaging opportunities. Up to now, a series of seven compounds targeting the CB2R has been successfully synthetized and in vitro characterized. Dedicated precursors of the most promising compounds have also been prepared and labelling will be shortly performed. The synthesis of ligands targeting the purinergic receptors has also been initiated and a first couple of reference / precursor has been obtained for the P2Y12R

Full textThe work developed in this thesis deals with C-glycosyl compounds for which new synthetic methodologies and applications in PET/NIRF imaging have been developed. Some peptides have a major role in the therapy and diagnostic of diverse pathologies and their conjugation with a fluorophore and a radioelement allow precise diagnostic and potential theranostic applications by surgery. The goal was to develop the synthesis of (radio)fluorinated and fluorescent dual probes for bimodal PET/NIRF imaging. An elaborated synthetic strategy was required to introduce a fluorine atom and a cyanine-type fluorophore, both being the specific probes of PET and NIRF imaging. Two main strategies were developed for the synthesis of these tools: the functionalization of C-glycosyl derivative including a [3.3.0]furofuranone scaffold and the functionalization of polyhydroxylated C-glycosyl compound. The protection/deprotection synthetic strategies have made possible the setting up of these various elements followed by the conjugation of two peptidic RGD derivatives by CuAAC “Click” reaction. The affinity of the two fluorinated and fluorescent derivatives for the integrins was in the same range (40 nM) than the RGD peptide alone, highlighting the benefit of the divalence of the agent. The radiofluorination of a dual PET/NIRF probe have been successfully achieved, allowing application for in vivo PET and NIRF imaging as well as NIRF-guided surgery

Full textThe fluorine atom is ubiquitous in several fields thanks to its unique feature to modulate the biological and physical properties of a molecule. Thus, the demand for original fluorinated molecules is steadily increasing. In this context, a special attention has been paid to the synthesis of new fluorinated reagents as well as the development of new methodologies to introduce fluorinated motifs. The first part of this PhD thesis focused on the design of an unprecedented CHFMe-containing reagent and the study of its reactivity. A new access to OCHFMe-containing molecules was possible, an underexplored class of compounds despite their potential in medicinal chemistry (Chapter 2). The chapter 3 was dedicated to the CF₂PO(OEt)₂ moiety, which is of high importance due to its bioisosterism with the phosphonate group. A direct pathway toward the synthesis of aliphatic CF₂PO(OEt)₂-containing molecules was investigated. Finally, in collaboration with the Université Catholique de Louvain, the design of new radiolabeled fluorinated groups was studied. Indeed, the chapter 4 was devoted to the development of a methodology to access SCF₂¹⁸F-containing molecules, combining hence the properties of the emerging moiety SCF₃ with the ones of the ¹⁸F atom

Full textVAChT and nAChRs are related cholinergic markers involved in the early stages of AD. Imaging both these targets using PET would be of benefit to obtain an early diagnosis of AD. In the case of VAChT, we developed benzovesamicol analogues : (2R, 3R)-5-FPOBV (10), (2S, 3S)-5-FPOBV (11) and (2R, 3R)-5-FEOBV (15). These compounds were radiolabelled with 18F then in ex vivo and in vivo evaluation (in rat and baboon), a low and homogeneous brain uptake was found. Futhermore, high accumulation of radioactivity in bone, indicating defluorination of [18F]10 and [18F]11 was observed. From these results, [18 F]10, [18F]11, [18F]15 appear not to be suitable for in vivo imaging of the VAChT. Concerning nAChRs, [18F]21 was radiolabelled with 18F then in vivo evaluation was performed in baboon. [18F]21 shows selectivity for the receptors in the thalamus and an unexpected uptake in the striatum which could be due to other nAChRs or other receptors

Full textChemical tools for optical imaging and/or positron emission tomography were developed. In a first part, fluorescent probes of NMDA NR2B receptors involved in neurodegenerative diseases, were targeting by dye conjugaison to ifenprodil (from the 4-hydroxyphenylethanolamine class of potent NR2B antagonists) derivatives. Several derivatives were prepared by conversion of ethanolamines into ethyldiamines by mesylation followed by a nucleophilic substitution with an appropriate amine, as well as by lithiation or copper-catalysed coupling with various amines, diamines, aminoalcools or imines, of bromo or iodo analogues of ifenprodil to afford the corresponding anilines, anilides, benzylic alcohols or benzylamines. 4-Hydroxyphenylethyldiamine derivatives displayed affinities toward NR2 receptors closed to that of ifenprodil (determined by a functional test of calcium influx inhibition) and were conjugated to fluorophore (dansyl or sulfocyanine). In vitro evaluation, confocal microscopy and in vivo imaging showed a low specificity of the resulting tracers for the NR2B receptors. In a second part, a new methodology of radiofluorination of functionalized propane and butane sultones into [18F]-fluorosulfonates, applicable to the radiolabeling of macromolecules and sulfofluorophores, was studied. This reaction was carried out using [18F]-potassium fluoride in acetonitrile at 50 or 110 °C for 2 min with radiochemical yields ranging from 60 to 90%

Full textDevelopment of fluorine 18 labeled radiotracer of 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 receptors for PET imaging (positron emission tomography) allows the study of those receptors in various neurodegenerative diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer disease. Description of structures and pharmacophores in literature led to pyrrolidine derivatives for 5-HT7 receptors and quinolones for 5-HT6. After their synthesis, 7 radioligands of 5-HT7 receptors have been studied by autoradiography and μPET. These radioligands have shown interesting binding on rat, with more or less selectivity for the receptor. 14 ligands of 5-HT6 receptors have been synthesized and 4 have been radiolabeled to select 2FNQ1P as a selective radioligand toward 5-HT2A. First PET images on cat have shown a selective binding in 5- HT6 rich area in brain. Pursue of biological studies, in collaboration with CERMEP – Imagerie du vivant will give more information on those new radioligands

Full textAlthough PET using [18F]FDG has proved to be useful for diagnosis and therapy monitoring in patients with lymphoma, the specificity of [18F]FDG uptake has been critically questioned because of its dependence on glucose metabolism, which may indiscriminately increase in benign conditions such as inflammatory or infectious processes. Considering these drawbacks, an adenine nucleoside analogue was developed as a novel PET imaging probe ([18F]fludarabine). An efficient and fully automated radiosynthesis has been implemented and, subsequently preclinical studies in xenograft murine models (follicular cell lines: RL7 and DOHH-2, multiple myeloma (MM): RPMI8226, central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma: MC116) were conducted with this novel 18F-radiopharmaceutical in parallel with [18F]FDG. The pattern of the radioactivity distribution in selected organs confirmed the tumor-specific targeting. In a follicular lymphoma model, we evaluated its robustness during rituximab therapy and demonstrated - the treatment did not interfere with its uptake - a stronger correlation between quantitative values extracted from this 18F-radiopharmaceutical and histology when compared to [18F]FDG-PET. Accordingly, this PET tool may be considered as a promising approach for detecting the persistence of residual disease during or after rituximab-like treatment. Furthermore, its behaviour in turpentine-induced inflammatory process showed significantly weaker uptake in inflammation when compared to [18F]FDG. In MM, the role of [18F]FDG-PET remains limited because of its lack of sensitivity for detecting diffuse bone marrow involvement, small skull lesions due to the physiological [18F]FDG uptake in brain. Our data suggested that [18F]fludarabine-PET might represent an alternative and perhaps more specific modality for MM imaging. In our latest study, on xenograft brain tumors, this novel PET probe revealed significantly divergent responses between CNS lymphoma and glioblastoma (GBM), while [18F]FDG demonstrated overlap between the groups. A first in man study, was undertaken, for an initial diagnosis, where 10 untreated patients were enrolled with either B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Successive partial body scans were acquired for 250 min after i.v. injection with an activity of 4 MBq/kg. The results with conventional modalities (CT and/or [18F]FDG-PET) have also been investigated. The study was also designed to estimate its radiation dose for major organs. In DLBCL patients, increased uptake was observed in sites considered abnormal by CT and [18F]FDG; in two patients discrepancies were observed in comparison with [18F]FDG. In CLL patients, the uptake coincided with sites expected to be involved and displayed a significant uptake in hematopoietic bone marrow. No uptake was observed, whatever the disease group, in the cardiac muscle and brain. Moreover, its mean effective dose was below the effective dose reported for [18F]FDG. In conclusion, these preclinical and clinical findings revealed a great specificity of this 18F-radiopharmaeutical for lymphoma tissues. Furthermore, it might well be a robust tool for correctly quantifying the disease, even with inflammatory processes, thus avoiding the false-positive results, and an innovative approach for imaging lymphoid neoplasms with low mitotic activity
