Hydroxyquinoline-functionalised aza-crown macrocycles for lanthanide coordination.
, Dalton TransEmerging therapeutic radiolanthanides have utility for systemic molecular radiotherapy in nuclear medicine, provided that suitable chemical technology is available to incorporate them into receptor-targeted radiopharmaceuticals. In this work, N,N'-bis(8-hydroxyquinoline-2-ylmethyl)-4,13-diaza-18-crown-6 (H2KHQ) was synthesised, and its binding ability, thermodynamic stability and selectivity for Ln3+ ions (Ln3+ = La, Tb, and Lu) investigated. The design of H2KHQ involves pendant arms featuring 8-hydroxyquinoline units, known to possess metal-chelating properties and desirable activity in other therapeutic molecules. H2KHQ exhibited selectivity for the larger Ln3+ ions, confirmed by experimentally measured stability constants as well as DFT calculations. H2KHQ was able to bind the larger, non-radioactive La3+ and Tb3+ ions within 30 minutes at room temperature, forming a single, 2-fold symmetric species in solution. The structure of [La-HKHQ]2+, as determined by single crystal XRD, emphasized the need for high denticity chelators to satisfy the coordination sphere of the Ln3+, showing a 10-coordinate La3+ metal centre. H2KHQ was radiolabelled with [161Tb]TbCl3 under mild conditions in 92% radiochemical yield in promising proof-of-concept measurements.

Influences of Ring Sizes and Chiral Substituents on Macrocyclic Chelators for Improving 68Ga Radiolabeling.
, JACS Au, Vol: 6, Pages: 113-12368Ga-labeled macrocyclic ligands have been extensively studied and used for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Compared with 12-membered DOTA derivatives, NOTA-based chelators with 9-membered macrocyclic rings exhibit more advantageous coordination stability for Ga3+ ions. However, studies of the 10-membered DETA macrocycle are still quite limited. Here, we present the synthesis of four different-sized chiral macrocyclic ligands L1-L4, followed by radiolabeling and stability studies to reveal the influence of ring size and chiral substituents on Ga3+ chelation. In the 68Ga radiolabeling experiments, chiral NOTA L1 exhibits the highest radiochemical yield of 99% at 25 °C. While for the chiral DETA L2/L3 and the chiral DOTA L4, their radiolabeling efficiencies are inferior at room temperature, but remarkable improvements were observed at higher temperatures. L1-L4 all exhibit superior Ga3+ coordination stability than their achiral counterparts, while the chiral DETA L2 with an α-methyl group shows a slightly better performance than its β-analogue L3. Serum stability tests and kinetic studies under acid and alkaline conditions were conducted, highlighting the favorable kinetic inertness of these chiral ligands for potential 68Ga-labeled PET imaging applications.
