  • Patent number: 11306091
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing an organofluoro compound including [18F]fluorine, and by using a solvent represented by Formula 1 in nucleophilic fluorination reaction, an organofluoro compound may be prepared at a high yield. In addition, since the solvent has very excellent solubility for a precursor compound, the solvent is suitable for the automated synthesis of 18F-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.

  • Patent number: 8912319
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of synthesizing 18F-FMAU. In particular, 18F-FMAU is synthesized using one-pot reaction conditions in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts. The one-pot reaction conditions are incorporated into a fully automated cGMP-compliant radiosynthesis module, which results in a reduction in synthesis time and simplifies reaction conditions. The one-pot reaction conditions are also suitable for the production of 5-substituted thymidine or cytidine analogs. The products from the one-pot reaction (e.g. the labeled thymidine or cytidine analogs) can be used as probes for imaging tumor proliferative activity. More specifically, these [18F]-labeled thymidine or cytidine analogs can be used as a PET tracer for certain medical conditions, including, but not limited to, cancer disease, autoimmunity inflammation, and bone marrow transplant.

  • Publication number: 20130324491
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for treating a host infected with hepatitis B comprising administering an effective amount of an anti-HBV biologically active 2?-deoxy-?-L-erythro-pentofuranonucleoside or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, wherein the 2?-deoxy-?-L-erythro-pentofuranonucleoside has the formula: wherein R is selected from the group consisting of H, straight chained, branched or cyclic alkyl, CO-alkyl, CO-aryl, CO-alkoxyalkyl, CO-aryloxyalkyl, CO-substituted aryl, alkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, aralkylsulfonyl, amino acid residue, mono, di, or triphosphate, or a phosphate derivative; and BASE is a purine or pyrimidine base which may be optionally substituted. The 2?-deoxy-?-L-erythro-pentofuranonucleoside or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof may be administered either alone or in combination with another 2?-deoxy-?-L-erythro-pentofuranonucleoside or in combination with another anti-hepatitis B agent.

  • Publication number: 20130289266
    Abstract: We claim a simple strategy for the synthesis of a collection of C(3?)-spirodihydroisobenzo- furannulated and C(3?)-spirodihydroisobenzo-furannulated nucleosides featuring a [2+2+2]-cyclotrimerization as the key reaction. The cyclotrimerization reactions are facile with the unprotected nucleosides having a diyne unit. When both alkynes of the diyne are terminal, the regioselectivity is poor. However, when one of the terminal alkynes is additionally substituted, the cyclotrimerizations are highly diaste reoselective. Since the key bicycloannulation is the final step, this strategy provides flexibility in terms of the alkynes and is thus amenable for the synthesis of a focussed small molecule library.
