low‐molecular‐weight ligands of this receptor is still in great demand. Here, a metadynamics‐driven design strategy allowed us to successfully convert a helical nonapeptide into a cyclic pentapeptide (6) showing remarkable potency and αvβ6 specificity. NMR and docking studies elucidated the reasons for the high affinity and selectivity of this compound, setting the ground for the rational design of new αvβ6‐specific

Bradykinin B1 receptor (B1R) is involved in pain and inflammation pathways and is upregulated in inflamed tissues and cancer. Due to its minimal expression in healthy tissues, B1R is an attractive target for the development of therapeutic agents to treat inflammation, chronic pain, and cancer. The goal of this study is to synthesize and compare two F-18-labeled peptides derived from potent B1R antagonists B9858 and B9958 for imaging B1R expression with positron emission tomography (PET). Azidoacetyl-B9858 2 and azidoacetyl-B9958 3 were synthesized by a solid-phase approach and subsequently clicked to ammoniomethyl-trifluoroborate (AmBF3)-conjugated alkyne 1 to obtain AmBF3-B9858 and AmBF3-B9958, respectively. AmBF3-B9858 and AmBF3-B9958 bound B1R with high affinity, with Ki values at 0.09 +/- 0.08 and 0.46 +/- 0.03 nM, respectively, as measured by in vitro competition binding assays. F-18 labeling was performed via an F-18-F-19 isotope exchange reaction. The radiofluorinated tracers were obtained within a synthesis time of 30 min and with 23-32% non-decay-corrected radiochemical yield, >99% radiochemical purity, and 43-87 GBq/mu mol specific activity at the end of the synthesis. PET imaging and biodistribution studies were carried out in mice bearing both B1R-positive (B1R(+)) HEK293T::hB1R and B1R-negative (B1R(-)) HEK293T tumors. Both tracers cleared rapidly from most organs/tissues, mainly through the renal pathway. High uptake in B1R(+) tumors (F-18-AmBF3-B9858: 3.94 +/- 1.24% ID/g, tumor-to-muscle ratio 21.3 +/- 4.33; F-18-AmBF3-B9958: 4.20 +/- 0.98% ID/g, tumor-to-muscle ratio 48.6 +/- 10.7) was observed at 1 h postinjection. These results indicate that F-18-AmBF3-B9858 and F-18-AmBF3-B9958 are promising agents for the in vivo imaging of B1R expression with PET.
