Popis: A new prosthetic group referred to as the triazole appending agent (TAAG) was developed as a means to prepare targeted radioiodine-based molecular imaging and therapy agents. Tributyltin-TAAG and the fluorous analogue were synthesized in high yield using simple click chemistry and the products labeled in greater than 95% RCY with (123)I. A TAAG derivative of an inhibitor of prostate-specific membrane antigen was prepared and radiolabeled with (123)I in 85% yield where biodistribution studies in LNCap prostate cancer tumor models showed rapid clearance of the agent from nontarget tissues and tumor accumulation of 20% injected dose g(-1) at 1 h. The results presented demonstrate that the TAAG group promotes minimal nonspecific binding and that labeled conjugates can achieve high tumor uptake and exquisite target-to-nontarget ratios.
