The present invention relates to a method of generating at least one polydentate metal chelating affinity ligand, which method comprises the steps of (a) providing at least one cyclic scaffold comprising a carbonyl, an adjacent sulphur and a nucleophile; (b) providing at least one polydentate metal chelating affinity ligand arm, optionally in a form wherein the metal chelating functionalities are protected, on each scaffold by derivatisation of the nucleophile of said scaffolds, while retaining the cyclic structure of the scaffold; (c) ring-opening at the bond between the carbonyl and the sulphur of the derivatised scaffold by adding a reagent that adds one or more metal chelating affinity ligand arms to the scaffold; and, if required, (d) deprotecting the functionalities of the ligand arm(s) provided in step (b). In the most preferred embodiment of the method, steps (c) and (d) are performed simultaneously as one single step.
本发明涉及一种生成至少一种多螯合
金属螯合亲和
配体的方法,该方法包括以下步骤:(a)提供至少一个环状支架,其中包括一个羰基、一个相邻的
硫和一个亲核物;(b)通过衍生化所述支架的亲核物,在每个支架上提供至少一个多螯合
金属螯合亲和
配体臂,可选地以保护
金属螯合功能的形式;同时保留支架的环状结构;(c)通过添加一个试剂,在衍生化的支架的羰基和
硫之间的键处开环,将一个或多个
金属螯合亲和
配体臂添加到支架上;如果需要,(d)去除步骤(b)中提供的
配体臂的功能保护基。在最优选的实施方式中,步骤(c)和(d)同时进行为一步。
