Utilization of [11C]phosgene for radiosynthesis of N-(2-{3-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)]phenyl[11C]ureido}ethyl)glycyrrhetinamide, an inhibitory agent for proteasome and kinase in tumors
摘要
<em>Nem>-(2-{3-[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)]phenylureido}ethyl)glycyrrhetinamide (dFont">2), an ureido-substituted derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid (dFont">1), has been reported to display potent inhibitory activity for proteasome and kinase, which are overexpressed in tumors. In this study, we labeled this unsymmetrical urea dFont">2 using [11C]phosgene ([11C]COCl2) as a labeling agent with the expectation that [11C]dFont">2 could become a positron emission tomography ligand for the imaging of proteasome and kinase in tumors. The strategy for the radiosynthesis of [11C]dFont">2 was to react hydrochloride of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline (dFont">4路HCl) with [11C]COCl2 to possibly give isocyanate [11C]dFont">6, followed by the reaction of [11C]dFont">6 with <em>Nem>-(2-aminoethyl)glycyrrhetinamide (dFont">3).
