Substituted aryl-boron compounds comprising at least one
18
F atom, as illustrated by the formula (I), where at least one of Y
1
or Y
2
is
18
F and A
1
is a substituted aromatic ring, with G
1-5
being, independently, C or N, and where the substitutents of the aromatic ring or polycyclic moiety (other than boron) comprise at least one electron-withdrawing group (EWG), providing that sigma total (σ
total
) for all substituents on the aromatic ring or polycyclic moiety except B is about 0.06 or more when said at least one EWG is positioned ortho to B, or about 0.2 or more when no EWG is positioned ortho to B. The compounds include neutral (N=1) and ionic borate (N=2) embodiments. The compounds are useful as positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents.
含有至少一个18F原子的取代芳基
硼化合物,其由公式(I)所示,其中Y1或Y2中至少有一个为18F,A1为取代芳香环,G1-5分别为C或N,且芳香环或多环基团(除
硼外)的取代基至少包括一个电子吸引基团(EWG),前提是当至少一个EWG位于B的正交位置时,芳香环或多环基团上所有取代基的总σ(σtotal)约为0.06或更高,或当没有EWG位于B的正交位置时,σtotal约为0.2或更高。该化合物包括中性(N=1)和离子
硼酸盐(N=2)的实施例。该化合物可用作正电子发射断层扫描(PET)成像剂。
