18F-labelling of A-ring substituted 16α-fluoro-estradiols as potential radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging
摘要:
The 2-methoxy derivative of estradiol is currently in Phase II clinical trial as an anticancer agent while the 4-methyl derivative has been shown to interact with cytoplasmic and nuclear estrogen receptors in rat pituitary gland and hypothalamus. We hypothesize that the 16 alpha-F-18-analogs of these estrogens could be suitable radiotracers to evaluate action mechanisms of the parent compounds. In this study we report the synthesis of the 16 alpha-F-18 and 16 alpha-F-19-analogs of the A-ring substituted estradiols in high yield via stereoselective opening of the inter-mediate 16 beta,17 beta-O-cyclic sulfones with [F-18]F- or F- followed by deprotection.
