Abstract:
An efficient protocol was developed to tether chelating agents and rhenium complexes onto a glucoside scaffold with a heterogeneous copper catalyst via click chemistry. The supported catalyst avoids the formation of unwanted copper complexes during the cyclisation step. The possibility to graft a pre-chelated M(CO)₃ core by click chemistry onto a biomolecule was highlighted for the first time. ⁹⁹ᵐTc(CO)₃-glucoconjugates displayed excellent in vitro stability, a fast in vivo blood clearance and a low specific organ uptake or long-term retention in spleen and stomach.
