Abstract

Graphic abstract

Rationale: Conventional 18F-labeling methods that demand substrate pre-modification or lengthy radiosynthesis procedures have impeded the visualization and translation of numerous biomolecules, as biomarkers or ligands, using modern positron emission tomography techniques in vivo. Moreover, 18F-labeled biomolecules in high molar activity (Am) that are indispensable for sensitive imaging could be only achieved under strict labeling conditions.

Methods: Herein, 18F-labeled fluorothiophosphate (FTP) synthons in high Am have been generated rapidly in situ in reaction solutions with < 5% water via nucleophilic substitution by wet [18F]F-, which required minimal processing from cyclotron target water.

Results: Various 18F-labeled FTP synthons have been prepared in 30 sec at room temperature with high radiochemical yields > 75% (isolated, non-decay-corrected). FTP synthons with unsaturated hydrocarbon or activated ester group can conjugate with typical small molecules, peptides, proteins, and metallic nanoparticles. 337-517 GBq μmol-1 Am has been achieved for 18F-labeled c(RGDyK) peptide using an automatic module with 37-74 GBq initial activity.

Conclusion: The combination of high 18F-fluorination efficiency of FTP synthons and following mild conjugation condition provides a universal simplified one-pot 18F-labeling method for broad unmodified biomolecular substrates.
