Abstract
Lung targeting was developed by synthesising pyrazolone derivatives 6a-f under solvent-free and thermal conditions by reacting azo coumarins 4a-c with hydrazines 5a and b using maltose as a biodegradable catalyst. Different spectral data characterized the synthesized agents as proton-NMR, FT-IR, and mass spectra. Direct radioiodination with iodine-131 was performed and optimized to reach the highest radiochemical purities (92 ± 0.47 to 98 ± 0.21%) using chloramine-T, a moderate oxidizing agent. The 131I-pyrazolone derivatives were confirmed based on HRMS. Furthermore, radioiodinated nitro-derivatives accumulated well in the lung of normal mice during in vivo evaluation, and the better uptake was for nitrophenyl-derivative 7f, about 30.06 ± 0.04% at 30 min after injection. Consequently, synthesized radioiodinated derivatives may be employed as prospective tracers for lung perfusion scans.
