Abstract: | Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) can currently only be identified by invasive biopsy sampling followed by immunohistochemical analysis. It would however be highly advantageous to have a radioligand able to bind the calcium-activated chloride channel DOG1, which is specific for GIST, and thus enable the sensitive, non-invasive and specific functional imaging of the disease by Positron Emission Tomography (PET). For this purpose, we developed different synthetic strategies towards a 4-phenylthiazole-2-amine-based labeling precursor that can be directly reacted with 18F-fluoride to yield a radiotracer intended to bind DOG1. Of these, a boronic acid pinacol ester radiolabeling precursor could be efficiently reacted with 18F in a one-step reaction, and the target radioligand 18F]fluoro-DOG1 be obtained in radiochemical yields of 34.0?±?11.1% within 85?min overall synthesis time. |
