The synthesis of the radiolabeling precursor cis-cyclobutane-1,3-diyl bis(toluene-4-sulfonate) 8was obtained from epibromohydrin in 7 steps (2% overall yield). The radiolabeling of this precursor 8and its conjugation to l-tyrosine as a model system was successfully achieved to give the new non-natural amino acid 3-[18F]fluorocyclobutyl-l-tyrosine (L-3-[18F]FCBT)[18F]17 in 8% decay-corrected yieldfrom the non-carrier-added [18F]fluoride. L-3-[1F]FCBT was investigated in vitro in different cancer celllines to determine the uptake and stability. The tracer [1F]17 showed a time dependent uptake into dif-ferent tumor cell lines (A549, NCI-H460, DU145) with the best uptake of 5.8% injected dose per 5×10°cells after 30 min in human lung carcinoma cells A549. The stability of L-3-[F]FCBT in human and ratplasma and the stability of the non-radioactive L-3-FCBT in rat hepatocytes were both found to be excel-lent. These results show that the non-natural amino acid L-3-[18F]FCBT is a promising metabolically sta-ble radiotracer for positron emission tomography. Metabolism plays a huge role in the development of new drugsboth in the therapeutic and diagnostic field. With therapeutics,the metabolism of the drug can lead to biologically active metabo-lites which could cause numerous side-effects.For diagnostics, inparticular positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuti-cals, the images obtained from the PET camera are only visualizingthe radionuclide attached to the biologically active molecule. If thisradiolabeled molecule is metabolically unstable then the cameracannot distinguish between both the intact molecule and any ofits metabolites containing the PET radionuclide. This often leadsto undesirable accumulation in non-target organs increasing back-ground activity and giving misleading information. Therefore it isessential when synthesizing such radiolabeled biologically activemolecules that they remain metabolically stable to ensure thatthe image obtained is due to the injected PET tracer and not dueto one or more of its metabolites. In PET research when investigat-ing new biologically active molecules, it is attractive to synthesizean analog with a radiolabeled alkyl group attached to a hetero-atom, namely oxygen and nitrogen.However, it is reported in the ( * Corresponding author. ) literature that potential sites for metabolism are alkylated hetero-atoms.34 For 18F-labeled PET tracers, this type of metabolism hasbeen reported for different biological targets; for example. thedopamine transporter radiotracer [18F]FECNT; the vesicularacetylcholine transporter ligand [18F]FEOBV4 and the non-peptideendothelin type A receptor antagonist[18F]PD 156707(Fig.1). For these tracers the noticeable similarity is the [lF]fluor-oethylalkyl chain attached to either an oxygen or nitrogen hetero-atom. Radiotracers labeled with an N-or O-[18F]fluororethyl groupcan be prone to dealkylation through enzymatic reactions in thebody, particularly the monooxygenase cytochrome P450, to givepolar radiometabolites which can interfere in PET imaging. Allradiometabolites originating from N- or O-dealkylation are a con-sequence of the Phase I biotransformation and are believed to be[18F]fluoroethanol.3. The radiometabolite [18F]fluoroethanol canundergo an oxidative biotransformation to the aldehyde[18F]fluo-roethanol and can also be further oxidized to [18F]fluoroaceticacid.3.8 This radiometabolite can be further metabolized, mainlyin the liver, to the [F]fluoride ion which accumulates in the bone,skull and joints, thus leading altogether to a higher backgroundsignal and can influence the PET image quality. We hypothesized that replacing the [1F]fluoroalkyl chain witha [F]fluorocycloalkyl group could increase the metabolic stabilityof a PET tracer. In the literature numerous examples can be found ( 0968-0896/$- see front matter @ 20 1 2 Else v ier Ltd. All rights re s erved. http:// d x.doi. o rg/10 .1 016/j. b mc.2012. 1 1 .049 ) D.

Results and discussion 2.1. Chemistry The precursor cis-cyclobutane-1,3-diyl bis(toluene-4-sulfonate)8 for the indirect radiolabeling was prepared in a multistep synthe-sis starting from epibromohydrin 1 and benzyl bromide(Scheme 1).The first 3 steps are literature known and gave 3-(benzyloxy)cyclo-butanone 4.15.23.24 The reduction of 4 with sodium borohydride(NaBH4) gave the key intermediate cis-3-(benzyloxy)cyclobutanol5 in 86% yield. It was of interest to see if the basic reaction conditions of thereduction step would form another stereoisomer than the expectedcis-alcohol 5. The H NMR- and ES-mass spectrum confirmed thestructure of the alcohol 5. Since the NMR data do not give informa-tion about the cis/trans-stereochemistry, NOE NMR experimentwas performed and the cis-isomer 5 was confirmed as the majorcompound. Consequently, the observed stereoselective reductionsuggests an axial attack of the nucleophile NaBH4. Standard tosylation methods were tested to synthesize 6; usingtosyl chloride (TsCl) with or without the catalyst 4-dimethylami-nopyridine (DMAP) resulted in low yields (~30%). The use ofpara-toluenesulfonic anhydride (Ts20) in pyridine gave far superioryields (87%). The next step was the removal of the benzyl groupwith standard palIadium on charcoal catalyzed hydrogenation con-ditions. Repeating the tosylation of the deprotected compound 7with the Ts20 method afforded the precursor for the indirect label-ing cis-cyclobutane-1,3-diyl bis(toluene-4-sulfonate) 8 (65%, 3steps) The preparation of the 19F-reference compound trans-3-fluoro-cyclobutyl toluene-4-sulfonate 11 was initially investigated vianucleophilic fluorinations of the bis-tosylate 8 using variousdifferent known methods; these included potassium fluoride(KF),25 cesium fluoride (CsF),26 silver fluoride (AgF)7 or tetrabutyl-ammonium fluoride (TBAF)2 failed to give the desired referencecompound 11. Kim et al.26 recently described TBAF to be hygro-scopic which could have an influence on the TBAF reaction and theyreported the significantly less hygroscopic fluorination agentTBAF*(tBuOH)4 which was prepared simply by refluxing TBAF intBuOH/hexane and recrystallization at room temperature in 55%yield. The fluorination of the bis-tosylate 8 was tried with thefreshly prepared TBAF*(tBuOH)4 refluxing in acetonitrile (1 h).Unfortunately, all attempts under a variety of conditions rangingfrom low to high precursor 8 concentrations failed to give the de-sired fluorotosylate 11. Alternatively the fluorinated compound 9 was then preparedfrom cis-3-(benzyloxy)cyclobutanol 5 by treatment with diethyla-minosulfur trifluoride (DAST) at 0 °C in 37% yield. Fluorination wasalso successful with perfluoro-1-butanesulfonyl fluoride with amixture of triethylamine trihydrofluoride in presence of triethyl-amine (TEA) at room temperature albeit in lower yield (25%) thanthe DAST method. Removal of the benzyl group using catalytichydrogenation conditions with palladium on charcoal in methanol(Scheme 1) afforded the trans-3-fluorocyclobutanol 10, which wasconfirmed by 'H NMR spectroscopy. Unfortunately, the fluoroalco-hol 10 was found to be volatile. A high quantity of product was lostduring the solvent evaporation process and was avoided with care-ful evaporation of the solvent (40 C, 200 mbar). The fluoroalcohol10 was used without further purification in the tosylation step, Scheme 1.

For the synthesis of both the D- and L-isomers of the 19F refer-ence 3-FCBT 17, a different route was followed (Scheme 2).).LDueto the synthetic difficulties the reference compound was preparedvia the phenolic alkylation of tyrosine with the mono-protectedbenzyl ether 5. The route employed the Mitsunobu reaction28ofthe cyclobutanol derivate 5 with the commercially/ availableBoc-L-Tyr-OMe 12 to give the desired product 13 in 88% yield(Scheme 2). After removal of the benzyl group with palladium oncharcoal (Pd/C) under hydrogen (H2), the hydroxyl group was fluo-rinated using DAST to give 15 in 38% yield. The protecting groupswere removed sequentially, first the methyll ester with LiOH inmethanol2 and second the Boc group with HCl in dioxane to givethe reference compound L-17 (Scheme 2) with an enantiomericpurity of 94% (ee).30 TheD-isomer followed a similar procedurestarting from BoC-D-Tyr-OMe where the desired D-17 was obtainedwith an enantiomeric purity of 92%(ee).3 2.2. Radiochemistrv The radiofluorinated L-3-[18F]FCBT [18F]1 was synthesized viaa 2 step radiolabeling approach (indirect) with the first step being the radiofluorination of precursor 8 followed by its conjugation viaan alkylation reaction with disodium salt of L-tyrosine generated insitu.31.32 In the first step, trans-3-fluorocyclobutyl toluene-4-sulfo-nate[18F]11 was synthesizedvia non-carrier-added(n.c.a.)nucleophilic fluorination of cis-cyclobutane-1,3-diyl bis(toluene-4-sulfonate) 8 using dried [F]F, potassium carbonate andKryptofix complex in acetonitrile (130 ℃ for 15 min) followed byC18 cartridge purification (Scheme 3). Then the intermediate prosthetic group [18F]11 was subse-quently reacted with L-tyrosine in DMSO in presence of aqueoussodium hydroxide (150C for 15 min). After purification by semi-preparative HPLC and reformulation, L-3-[1F]FCBT[1F]17 was ob-tained in 8%±5.5 yield (n=14, decay corrected), radiochemicalpurity of greater than 99% (Fig. 2) and in a synthesis time ofapproximately 140 min. Analysis of the final product [1F]17 usingchiral radio-HPLC showed that no racemization had occurred(Fig. 3). 2.3.

Thecalculated lipophilicity values of L-3-FCBT and FET are found tobe in the similar range and indicating very hydrophilic character.These calculated trends were confirmed by the experimentaldetermination of the logD of L-3-FCBT and was found to be-0.83. Comparing the experimental value of FET found in literature(-1.51), 18 L-3-FCBT showed a higher lipophilicity of -0.83 whichcould influence the pharmacokinetics of the tracer for futurein vivo experiments.

The L-3-[18F]FCBT was investigated in several cancer cell lines;human lung carcinoma cell lines (A549 and NCI-H460) and inhuman prostate cancer cell line (DU145). The time dependent up-take of L-3-[18F]FCBT was tested by incubating the cells for differ-ent time periods (max. 60 min, Fig. 4). A time dependent uptake ofL-3-[18F]FCBT was observed in all the tumor cell lines tested.Human lung carcinoma cells A549 showed the fastest and highestuptake of thecell lines with an uptake of 2.8% applied dose/10cells after 10 min reaching a plateau of 5.8% applied dose/10cellsat 30 min. In comparison, the human lung carcinoma cells (NCI-H460) and human prostate tumor cells (DU145) both showed com-parable slower uptakes (0.7% applied dose/10 after 10 min) andincreased to a value of 2.1% applied dose/10after 60 min. How-ever, these cells showed a linear uptake and did not reach a plateauafter 60 min. The increased uptake of L-3-[18F]FCBT into the A549cells in comparison to the NCI-H460 and DU145 cells is due thehigher expression of the LAT transporters on these cells (data notshown). Figure 5. Blocking of L-3-[F]FCBT by adding 1 mM non-radioactive L-3-FCBT andFET over 30 min. Experiments were performed in triplicate.Error bars indicatestandard deviation. In addition a competitive uptake experiment using the non-radioactive O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine ([18F]FET) and non-radioactive L-3-FCBT was performed (Fig. 5). The L-3-[18F]FCBTuptake could be essentially blocked (>82%) with the non-radioactive reference compounds (L-3-FCBT and FET) in all the tested celllines.34 The blocking of L-3-[18F]FCBT displayed an interesting re-sult as FET seems to block the uptake of L-3-[18F]FCBTbetter thanL-3-FCBT, an explanation for this could be that the FET is a bettersubstrate for the LAT transporter and thus block the uptake ofL-3-[18F]FCBT more effectively. The stability of L-3-[18F]FCBT and [1F]FET was determined inboth human and rat plasma.L-3-[18F]FCBT and [18F]FET were incu-bated in human and rat plasma and in phosphate buffer solution at37°C for up to 120 min and analyzed by radio-HPLC and radio-TLCat cdifferent time points (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min), as shown inFigure 6.

Error bars indicate standard deviation. L-3-[18F]FCBT showed over 120 min an excellent stability(>99.9%) in human and rat plasma.[13F]FET showed similar stabil-ity for 120 min (data not shown). The compounds were also stablein phosphate buffer solution over 120 min. With [F]FET, a veryslight polar radio-peak was observed after 60 min in human andrat plasma, but was deemed to be insignificant as the amountwas below 1%. In humans, [18F]FET was reported to be relativemetabolically stable with 95% and 87% intact tracer at 5 and120 min, respectively. 2.6. Determination of in vitro stability of L-3-FCBT in rathepatocytes The stability of the non-radioactive L-3-FCBT was tested in anin vitro experiment using hepatocytes isolated from Han Wisterrats. This assay is important in the early preclinical phase of drugdevelopment as hepatocytes play a major role in a variety ofmetabolic processes in particular the cytochrome P450 (CP450)system. The metabolic stability was examined by incubating L-3-FCBT with the hepatocytes and analyzing at different time-points(0, 2,8, 16,30,45 and 60 min) by HPLC-MS and the results areshown in Table 2. The results clearly show that the stability ofL-3-FCBT in this assay is excellent and warrants further investiga-tions in in vivo models. 3. Conclusion Figure 6.

[18F]fluoride from the cyclotron target (Eck-ert & Ziegler in Adlershof, Berlin, Germany) was separated from the[180]water with a QMA Sep-Pak" cartridge and collected into a5 mL Wheaton glass V-vial (Wheaton Industries Inc., Millville,USA) containing a solution of Kryptofix" 2.2.2 (5 mg; 13 umol)and K2CO3 (1 mg; 15 umol) in acetonitrile (0.95 mL) and water(0.05mL). The solvents were evaporated and the residue dried at110°C under a light nitrogen stream, more anhydrous acetonitrile(ACN) was added, and the drying process was repeated. The pre-cursor cis-cyclobutane-1,3-diylbis(toluene-4-sulfonate)8 (5mg;13 umol) in anhydrous ACN(0.5 mL) was added to the reaction vialcontaining the dry [18F]fluoride-cryptate complex and the reactionmixture was stirred at 130 C for 15 min in a sealed vial. The crudeintermediate was purified by passing through a Waters C18 lightSep-Pak"(equilibrated with 5 mL ethanol followed by 5 mL waterand dried by passing 20 mL air through), washing with water(5 mL) and eluted with ACN (0.8 mL) and the solvent was evapo-rated at 110℃ with a nitrogen stream. The trans-3-[18F]fluorocyc-lobutyl toluene-4-sulfonate [18F]11 was diluted with DMSO (1 mL)and added to L-tyrosine (~5 mg;28 umol) with aqueous 10% so-dium hydroxide (2 equiv, 22.1 uL). The reaction was heated at150℃ for 10 min, cooled to 501C and quenched by addition ofwater acidified with 1 M HCl to pH 2 (4mL). The crude productwas purified by semi-preparative HPLC (Synergi Hydro RP 4p,250×10 mm; 15% acetonitrile in water acidified with 1 M HCl topH2; flow 3 mL/min). The product peak was collected, diluted withwater acidified with 1 M HCl to pH 2 (25 mL) and trapped on aWaters C18 environmental cartridge (equilibrated with 10 mL eth-anol, 10 mL acidified water and the cartridge dried by passing20 mL air through). The cartridge was washed with water acidifiedwith 1 M HCl to pH2 (5 mL) and the product was eluted with frac-tions (0.5 ml) of 1:1 mixture of ethanol and phosphate bufferedsaline (total volume: 1.5 mL). Starting from 881 MBq[F]fluoride,44 MBq (12%, decay corrected) of the desired product ([F]17) wasobtained in excellent radiochemical purity (>99%) and within144 min. Specific activity was found to be 25 GBq/umol. Radio-chemical and chemical purity were determined by analytical radio-HPLC (UV at 280nm))usinga ACEC18 column(50x4.6 mm) at a flow rate of 2 mL/min using a gradient(0-7 min) from ACN +0.1% TFA/water +0.1% TFA 5:95 (v/v) to 95:5(v/v). The retention time of [18F]17 was 2.4-2.7 min. [F]FET was synthesized via a 2 step reaction. In the first step,2-bromoethyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate(10 mg; 49 umol))ino-dichlorobenzene (0.5 mL) was reacted with the dry[lF]fluoride-cryptate complex (preparation mentioned above) for 10 min at120 °C in a sealed 5 mL Wheaton glass V-vial followed by distilla-tion of the product 1-bromo-2-[1F]fluoroethane at 120℃ forabout 20 min into a receiver vial containing DMSO (0.5 mL).36The 2-bromoethyl 4-nitrobenzenesulfonate was synthesizedaccording to literature3using 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride inpresence of 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine. L-Tyrosine(5mg;28 umol) dissolved in anhydrous DMSO (0.2 mL) and 2M NaOH(27.6uL; 55 umol) were added to the receiver vial and heated at120°C for 15 min in a sealed vial. The reaction mixture was dilutedwith water (4mL) and purified by semi-preparative HPLC (ACE 5C18, 250×4.6 mm; 15% acetonitrile +0.1% TFA in water +0.1%TFA; flow 3 mL/min). The product peak (retention time ~15 min)was collected, diluted with water acidified with 1 M HCl to pH 2(35mL) and trapped on a Waters C18 plus cartridge (equilibratedwith 5 mL ethanol, 10 mL acidified water and the cartridge driedby passing 20 mL air through). The cartridge was washed withwater acidified with 1 M HCl to pH 2 (5 mL) and the product waseluted with fractions (0.5 ml) of 1:1 mixture of ethanol and wateracidified with 1 M HCl to pH 2. Starting from 2889 MBq[F]fluo-ride, 136 MBq (12%, decay corrected) of the desired product wasobtained in excellent radiochemical purity (>99%) and within160 min. 4.15.Determination of the lipophilicity of the non-radioactiveL-3-FCBT The logD assay was performed manually in two single vialsL-3-FCBT (0.1 mg) was dissolved in 600 uL octanol saturated with10 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.4 (with the help of sonication for3 min) and equilibrated by shaking for 4 min at a constant temper-ature (20C). Phases were separated by centrifugation at 10 min(20℃,3000 rpm). The sample was analyzed by a Waters Alliance2695 HPLC with a Xterra MS C18 2.5 um column (4.6×30mm)with a gradient of 5-65% ACN +0.01% TFA in water +0.01% TFA in3 min, hold for 2 min and a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. The sampleswere quantified at 254nm by area integration. 4.16. Cell uptake studies The A549 and DU145 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's ModifiedEagle’s Medium (DMEM) (invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetalbovine serum (FBS) and the NCI-H460 were cultured in DMEM/F-12 (1:1) (invitrogen) supplemented with 10% FBS. The cells wereseeded 1-2 days prior to the assay and grown until sub-confluencyin 48 well plates.Prior to the assay, the cell culture medium wasremoved and the cells were washed with 500 pL phosphate buf-fered saline (PBS). After adding 250 uL of PBS +0.1% Bovine serumalbumin (BSA) containing 0.2 MBq of L-3-[1F]FCBT in 8% EtOH perwell, the cells were incubated at 37℃ in a humidified atmosphere(5% CO2) for 10, 20, 30 and 60 min. For the blocking experiment,the cells were co-incubated with non-radioactive FET (1 mM) andnon-radioactive L-3-FCBT (1 mM) for 30 min to monitor radioactiv-ity uptake. To stop tracer uptake after the time point,the incuba-tion buffer was removed, the cells were washed with 500 uL PBSand lysed with 500 pL 1 M NaOH. Subsequently, the amount ofradioactivity in the cell lysate was determined in a Perkin Elmer1480 Wizard 3" Automated Gamma Counter. Aliquots of theapplied tracer amount were measured in a gamma counter to determine the total amount in counts per minute (cpm) togetherwith the samples to correct for radioactivity decay. Cell numbersper well were determined after detaching cells by trypsinizationin 3 wells prior to start of the assay and counted with the Invitro-gen Automated Cell Counter. The mean number ofcells was calcu-lated and normalized to 105 cells. The assay was performed intriplicates. 4.17. Determination of in vitro plasma stability The tracers L-3-[18F]FCBT[18F]17 and [18F]FET were incubatedin plasma of human and rats at 37℃ for different time periods(0, 30, 60,90 and 120 min) at a concentration of 22 MBq/mL. Sam-ples were precipitated with MeOH and subsequently centrifugedfor 15 min at 3000 rpm and the supernatant was analyzed withan Agilent 1200 HPLC-system with a Raytest radio-detection withthe column Phenomenex Luna 5 um C18100 A LC column(250×4.6 mm) with a gradient of 5-95% ACN in water in 10 minand a flow rate of 1 mL/min and by TLC using the solvent Buta-nol/AcOH/H20 12:3:5 for developing the TLC plate.The stabilityof the test compound was quantified by comparison of the remain-ing amount at the different time points with the amount of the0 min sample (control) and is expressed in% of initialconcentration. 4.18.Determination of in vitro metabolic stability in rathepatocytes Acknowledgments We are grateful to Sylvia Zacharias (Bayer Healthcare Pharma-ceuticals) for her assistance with the biological studies and UrsulaMoenning (Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals) for the in vitrohepatocytes stability study.
