Description
SOLID-PHASE NUCLEOPHILIC FLUOR1 NATION
The present invention relates to novel solid-phase processes for the production of radiolabelled tracers, in particular for the production of 18F-labelled compounds which may be suitable for use as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiotracers. The invention also comprises radiopharmaceutical kits using these novel processes.
The favoured radioisotope for PET, 18F, has a relatively short half-life of 110 minutes. 18F-labelled tracers for PET therefore have to be synthesised and purified as rapidly as possible, and ideally within one hour of clinical use. Standard synthetic methods for introducing fluorine-18 are relatively slow and require post-reaction purification (for example, by HPLC) which means that it is difficult to obtain the 18F-labelled tracer for clinical use in good radiochemical yield. There is also a need for automation to protect the operator from radiation exposure. Many radiofluorinations are complicated procedures and it is necessary to simplify them to facilitate automation.
The present invention provides solid-phase processes for producing 18F-labelled tracers quickly and with high specific activity yet avoiding time-consuming purification steps, such that the resultant 18F-labelled tracer is suitable for use in PET. The solid-phase methods also lend themselves to automation with advantages of ease of production and greater throughput. The invention also comprises radiopharmaceutical kits which use such processes and thus provide the radiopharmacist or clinician with a convenient means of preparing an 18F- labelled tracer.
In a general aspect, the invention provides a process for the production of an 18F- labelled tracer which comprises treatment of a resin-bound precursor of formula

SOLID SUPPORT-LINKER- X -TRACER (I)
with 18F" to produce the labelled tracer of formula (II)
18F-TRACER (II)
As the 18F-labelled tracer of formula (II) is removed from the solid-phase into solution, all unreacted precursor remains bound to the resin and can be separated by simple filtration, thus obviating the need for complicated purification, for example by HPLC. The 18F-labelled tracer of formula (II) may be cleaned up by removal of excess F", for example by ion-exchange chromatography and/or by removal of any organic solvent. The resultant 18F-labelled tracer of formula (II) may then be further made-up into an aqueous formulation for clinical use.
Examples of tracers which may be 18F-labelled in the manner of the invention include 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-g!ucose (FDG), 6-fluoro-L-DOPA (FDOPA), 3'-deoxy- 3'-fluorothymidine (FLT), 2-(1 ,1-dicyanopropen-2-yl)-6-(2-fluoroethyl)- methylamino)-naphthalene (FDDNP), 2-, 5-, and 6-fluoro (2(S)- azetinylmethoxy)pyridines, N-succinimidyl-4-[18F]fluorobenzoate ([18F]-SFB) and peptides. In preferred aspects of the invention, the tracer produced is selected from FDG, FDOPA, FLT, and FDDNP, and is most preferably FDG or FDOPA.
In the compounds of formula (I), X is a group which promotes nucleophilic substitution at a specific site on the attached TRACER. Examples of X include -S020- as in formula (la) below, T as in formula (Id) below, or -N(C1.6alkyl)2 +- as in formula (If) below.
In a further aspect, the invention provides a process for the production of an 18F- labelled tracer which comprises treatment of a resin-bound precursor of formula

SOLID SUPPORT-LINKER-SO2-0 -TRACER (la)
with 18F" to produce the labelled tracer of formula (II)
18F-TRACER (II) followed by optionally
(i) removal of excess 18F" , for example by ion-exchange chromatography; and/or (ii) removal of any protecting groups; and/or (iii) removal of organic solvent; and/or
(iv) formulation of the resultant compound of formula (II) as an aqueous solution.
In the compound of formula (la), the TRACER is suitably FDG, FLT, FDDNP or a precursor thereof in which one or more functional groups have been protected, or an activated precursor of FDOPA. Most suitably, the TRACER in the compound of formula (la) is FDG or a precursor thereof.
As shown in Scheme 1, the compound of formula (la) may be conveniently prepared from any sulphonic acid functionalised commercially available resin, such as Merrifield Resin, NovaSyn® TG Bromo Resin,
(Bromomethyl)phenoxymethyl polystyrene, or Wang Resin which may be reacted with a chlorinating agent to give the corresponding sulphonyl chloride resin. This may be carried out by treating the resin with, for example, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus trichloride, oxalyl chloride, or thionyl chloride, in an appropriate inert solvent such as dichloromethane, chloroform, or acetonitrile, and heating at elevated temperature for a period of time. The excess reagent may then be removed from the resin by washing with further portions of the inert solvent. The sulphonyl chloride resin may then be reacted with the alcohol analogue of the tracer to produce the resin-bound precursor of formula (la). This may be carried out by treating the resin with a solution of the alcohol in an inert solvent such as chloroform, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, or tetrahydrofuran
containing a non-nucleophilic soluble base such as sodium hydride or a trialkylamine, for example triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine. The reaction may be carried out at a temperature of 10 to 80°C, optimally at ambient temperature for a period of from around 1 to 24 hours. The excess alcohol and base may then be removed from the solid support by washing with further portions of an inert solvent such as chloroform, dichloromethane, or tetrahydrofuran.
Scheme 1
Tracer
In the compounds of formulae (I) and (la) and in the following more specific aspects of the invention, the "SOLID SUPPORT" may be any suitable solid-phase support which is insoluble in any solvents to be used in the process but to which 5 the LINKER and/or TRACER can be covalently bound. Examples of suitable SOLID SUPPORT include polymers such as polystyrene (which may be block grafted, for example with polyethylene glycol), polyacrylamide, or polypropylene or glass or silicon coated with such a polymer. The solid support may be in the form of small discrete particles such as beads or pins, or as a coating on the inner o surface of a cartridge or on a microfabricated vessel.
In the compounds of formulae (I) and (la) and in the following more specific aspects of the invention, the "LINKER" may be any suitable organic group which
serves to space the reactive site sufficiently from the solid support structure so as to maximise reactivity. Suitably, the LINKER comprises zero to four aryl groups (suitably phenyl) and/or a C,_6 alkyl or C,.6haIoalkyl (suitably C.,.6 fluoroalkyl), and optionally one to four additional functional groups such as amide or sulphonamide groups. Examples of such linkers are well known to those skilled in the art of solid- phase chemistry, but include:
wherein at each occurrence, n is an integer of 0 to 3.
As would be apparent to the person skilled in the art, it may be necessary to protect functional groups in the TRACER to avoid unwanted reactions during the radiolabelling process. Such protection may be achieved using standard methods of protecting group chemistry. After the radiolabelling is complete, any protecting groups may be removed by simple procedures which are also standard in the art. Suitable protection and deprotection methodologies may be found, for example, in Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, Theodora W. Greene and Peter G. M. Wuts, published by John Wiley & Sons Inc.
Treatment of the compound of formula (I) or (la) with 18F" may be effected by treatment with any suitable source of 18F", such as Na18F, K18F, Cs18F, tetraalkylammonium 18F fluoride, or tetraalkylphosphonium 18F fluoride. To increase the reactivity o.f the fluoride, a phase transfer catalyst such as 4,7,13,16,21 ,24 hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8,8,8] hexacosane may be added and the reaction performed in a non protic solvent. These conditions give reactive fluoride ions. The treatment with 18F~ is suitably effected in the presence of a suitable organic solvent such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulphoxide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxan, 1,2 dimethoxyethane, sulpholane, N- methylpyrolidinineone, at a non-extreme temperature, for example, 15°C to 180°C, preferably at elevated temperature. On completion of the reaction, the 18F- labelled tracer of formula (II) dissolved in the solvent is conveniently separated from the solid-phase by filtration. The same fluorination techniques may be used in the following more specific aspects of the invention.
Any excess 18F" may be removed from the solution of 18F-tracer by any suitable means, for example by ion-exchange chromatography or solid phase absorbents.
Suitable ion-exchange resins include BIO-RAD AG 1-X8 or Waters QMA and suitable solid phase absorbents include alumina. The excess 18F" may be removed using such solid phases at room temperature in aprotic solvents.
Any organic solvent may be removed by any standard method such as by
evaporation at elevated temperature in vacuo or by passing a stream of inert gas such as nitrogen or argon over the solution.
Before use of the 18F-labelled tracer, it may be appropriate to formulate it, for example as an aqueous solution by dissolving the 18F-labelled tracer in sterile isotonic saline which may contain up to 10% of a suitable organic solvent such as ethanol, or a suitable buffered solution such as phosphate buffer. Other additives may be added such as ascorbic acid to reduce radiolysis.

In the compound of formula (Id), the tracer is suitably an aryl containing compound such as a phenyl containing compound, preferably a substituted phenyl ring. In one such preferred aspect, the tracer prepared is FDOPA.
The compound of formula (Id) may be conveniently prepared from a functionalised commercially available resin such as a Merrifield Resin or Wang Resin. Suitably, a hydroxyiodoaryl (such as an iodophenol) containing LINKER group is treated with an inorganic base, such as cesium carbonate and then added to the resin, pre-swollen with an inert solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide and allowed to react at elevated temperature, for example 30 to 80°C. Excess reagents may be removed by washing the resin with further inert solvent. The resultant iodophenol functionalised resin may then be treated with a source of acetate anions (such as actetic acid, acetic anhydride, or acetyl chloride) in the presence of an oxidising agent, such as hydrogen peroxide to provide the corresponding diacetoxy- iodophenyl functionalised resin. The diacetoxy-iodophenyl functionalised resin may then be stirred in an inert solvent, such as dichloromethane, in the presence of acid such as hydrochloric acid, trifluoromethane sulphonic acid, or acetic acid at a low temperature, suitably -40°C to 10°C before addition of the tracer, suitably functionalised as a boronic acid or trialkyl tin derivative which may be coupled to the resin at a non-extreme temperature. As in previous steps, the desired

Some of the compounds of formula (I) are novel and thus form a further aspect of the present invention. Thus, for example, compounds of formula (la), in particular those of formula (lb), (lc), (Ig) and (Ih), and compounds of formula (Id), in particular those of formula (le) all as defined above, form separate aspects of the
present invention.
As described above, the advantages of such solid-phase processes for preparation of 18F-labelled tracers include the relative speed of the process, simplified purification methods and ease of automation- all of which mean that the processes are suitable for preparation of 18F-labelled tracers for use in PET.

Following literature Evans, M. E. Carbohydrate Research (1972), 21(3), 473-5, Methyl- α -D-glucopyranoside (Aldrich, 257mmol) in DMF (200ml) was treated with α,α-dimethoxy toluene 39.0 g 257mmol) and toluene sulphonic acid monohydrate 100mg in a 11 round bottomed flask. This was attached to a Buchi and evacuated and rotated. The flask was lowered into a water bath at 65°C and the DMF allowed to gently reflux into the vapour duct but not to distil out. The temperature of the water bath was then raised to 100 °C and the DMF distilled from the reaction. When the distillation of the reaction was complete the reaction was cooled and treated with a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (5g) in water (750ml) and ethyl alcohol (250ml). The reaction was heated to 95°C on a water bath and stirred until the product became finely dispersed. The reaction was then cooled to 4°C and the product filtered off washed well with water and dried in vacuum.

Step 2 Preparation of Methyl 4.6-Q- benzylidine-3- ethoxymethyl-α-D- qlucopyranoside
Methyl-4,6-0-benzylidine-α-D-glucopyranoside,(19.2g,68mmole), ethoxymethylchloride (9.7g, 81.6mmol) and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (5ml
of a 40% w/v solution) in dichloromethane (150ml) was stirred vigorously with a 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (200ml) at room temperature. After 5 hours the aqueous phase was replaced with a fresh solution of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (200ml) to which tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (5ml of a 40% w/v solution) was added, and rapid stirring continued overnight. The organic phase was then separated dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacuum. Thin layer chromatography of the residue (40-60 hexanes-ethyl acetate 2:1) on silica developed by spraying with eerie ammonium molybdate (see above) indicated the presence of three new alkylated products. Chromatography on silica (1kg, dry weight) in a gradient of 40-60 hexanes-ethyl acetate 2:1 to 1:1 gave three fractions which NMR indicated to be

Methyl 4,6-0- benzylidine-3- ethoxymethyl α -D-glucopyranoside (3g, δ.Ommol) was treated with methylsulfoxide (50ml) and acetic anhydride (25ml) at room temperature for 24 h until the reaction will be adjudged completed by tic (Petrol ether/ Ethyl acetate 1 :1). developed with cerium ammonium molybdate. The solution was then diluted with diethyl ether (200ml) and washed with 10% aqueous potassium carbonate solution to hydrolyse the excess acetic anhydride. The ether layer was separated and washed with water (100ml). The ether layer was separated, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuum to give a crystalline solid. Recrystallization from ether/petrol gave 1.5 g of Methyl 2 keto-3- ethoxymethyl 4,6-0- benzylidine- α -D-glucopyranoside.

Methyl 2 keto 3-ethoxymethyl 4,6-O-benzylidine-α-D-glucopyranoside (0.5g 1.3mmol) in methanol (50ml) THF (10ml) was treated with sodium borohydride (200mg, 5.3mmol) at room temperature with continuous stirring. The reaction was then concentrated in vacuum to a gum and the product partitioned between ethyl acetate (50ml) and 10% aqueous potassium carbonate solution (50 ml). The ethyl acetate solution was separated, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to give methyl 3-ethoxymethyl 4,6-0- benzylidine- α -D-mannopyranoside.
