Abstract: The present invention provides bivalent and multivalent ligands with a view to improving the affinity and pharmacokinetic properties of a urea class of PSMA inhibitors. The compounds and their synthesis can be generalized to multivalent compounds of other target antigens. Because they present multiple copies of the pharmacophore, multivalent ligands can bind to receptors with high avidity and affinity, thereby serving as powerful inhibitors. The modular multivalent scaffolds of the present invention, in one or more embodiments, contains a lysine-based (?-, ?-) dialkyne residue for incorporating two or more antigen binding moieties, such as PSMA binding Lys-Glu urea moieties, exploiting click chemistry and one or more additional lysine residues for subsequent modification with an imaging and/or therapeutic nuclides or a cytotoxic ligands for tumor cell killing.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for the electrochemical selective radiofluorination of aromatic molecules. The resulting fluorine-18 labeled compounds are ideal radionuclides for use in Positron Emission Tomography (PET); they are also difficult to radiolabel efficiently and with high specific activity using existing approaches. For example, radiopharmaceuticals such as [F18]L-DOPA, which is indispensable in PET brain disease imaging, may be made electrochemically with high radiochemical yield and high specific activity using 18F-. The invention process described herein opens new possibilities and provides wider access to PET tracers such as 18F-L-Dopa, since 18F- is much more widely available than the 18F2, currently used for synthesis of electron rich substrates.
