Abstract: | A stable RGD-conjugated triarylmethyl (TAM) radical 3 has been synthesized in a straightforward three-step sequence. CT-03 ‘the Finland trityl’ which is a very popular contrast agent for electron paramagnetic resonance imaging has been covalently bound to the NH2-ending of a pentapeptide commonly used to target integrins and confers tissue selectivity. Moreover, this new TAM radical is stable and sensitive to molecular oxygen. |
