Cyclam-picolinate chelators were functionalized via click chemistry with an additional carboxyl group for subsequent bioconjugation to antibodies or for the modification of the overall charge of the corresponding 64Cu-radiocomplexes. The...
The limited use of palladium-103 and -109 radionuclides for molecular radiotherapy is surely due to the lack of appropriate ligands capable of fulfilling all criteria required for application in nuclear medicine. Furthermore, the thermodynamic properties of these complexes in solution remain difficult to establish. The challenge is compounded when considering that radiolabeling of compounds for translation to clinical trials requires fast complexation. Thus, the coordination of Pd(II) and 103/109 Pd-nuclides is a huge challenge in terms of molecular design and physicochemical character-ization. Herein, we report a comprehensive study highlighting TE1PA, a monopicolinate cyclam -already established in nuclear imaging with 64 Cu-PET (positron emission tomography) imaging tracers -as a highly relevant chelator for natural Pd and subsequently 109 Pd-nuclide. The structural, thermodynamic, kinetic and radiolabeling studies of Pd(II) with TE1PA, as well as the comparison of this complex with three structurally related derivatives, support palladium-TE1PA radiopharmaceuticals as leading candidates for targeted nuclear medicine.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
