Chemical and biological studies of Re(I)/Tc(I) thiosemicarbazonate complexes relevant for the design of radiopharmaceuticals. J Inorg Biochem 2019; 203:110917.

Abstract
Five thiosemicarbazones (H2Ln) derived from 4,6-diacetylresorcinol (n = 1-4) and salicylaldehyde (n = 5) have been synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies on some of them show that the molecular structure is dominated by intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving the O(1)-H group of the resorcinol/salicylaldehyde group and the azomethinic nitrogen atom and sulfur atom of the thiosemicarbazone arm. All of the ligands react with fac-[ReBr(CO)3(CH3CN)2] in the presence of NEt3 to form the stable anionic complexes [NHEt3][fac-[Re(Ln)(CO)3] (1-5). The thiosemicarbazonate ligand, as suggested by spectroscopic data and confirmed by X-ray diffraction, acts as a tridentate S,N,O system. The complexes are stable in solution for weeks, although other dimeric species were also detected by X-ray diffraction analysis. The reaction of fac-[99mTc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ with the appropriate ligand at 100 °C for 30 min yielded the complexes [fac-[99mTc(Ln)(CO)3]- (Tc1-Tc5). The radiochemical yield and purity were determined by HPLC and their chemical identity was ascertained by comparing their radiochromatogram with the chromatogram of the rhenium congeners (1-5). The results of biodistribution studies in mice on the five technetium compounds showed rapid blood clearance and fast liver uptake that slowly cleared into the intestines, a finding that indicates the hepatobiliary tract as the major excretory pathway. HPLC analysis of urine and blood serum samples from mice injected with the 99mTc complexes confirmed their in vivo stability since the predominant radiochemical species had the same retention time as the corresponding injected compound.

Abstract
The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) is overexpressed in many types of cancers and is also abundant in activated microglial cells occurring in inflammatory neurodegenerative diseases. The TSPO-selective ligand 2-(8-(2-(bis-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl)amino)acetamido)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-N,N-dipropylacetamide (CB256), which fulfills the requirements of a bifunctional chelate approach, has been used to synthesize coordination complexes containing either Pt (1) or Re (3), or both metal ions (2). The new metal complexes showed a cellular uptake markedly greater than that of the precursor metallic compounds and were also able to induce apoptosis in C6 glioma cells. The good cytotoxicity of the free ligand CB256 towards C6, A2780, and A2780cisR tumor cell lines was attenuated after coordination of the dipicolylamine moiety to Pt while coordination of the imidazopyridine residue to Re reduces the affinity towards TSPO. The results of the present investigation are essential for the design of new imidazopyridine bifunctional chelate ligands targeted to TSPO.

Abstract
The enhanced negative mitochondrial membrane potential of tumor cells can increase the cell accumulation of triphenylphosphonium (TPP) derivatives, which prompted us to investigate TPP-containing Re(I)/(99m)Tc organometallic compounds as probes for in vivo targeting of energized mitochondria. Novel compounds (Re1-Re4/Tc1-Tc4) were obtained with bifunctional chelators of the pyrazole-diamine (N,N,N-donors) and pyrazole-aminocarboxylic (N,N,O-donors) type, functionalized with TPP pharmacophores that have been introduced at the central amine of the chelators using different spacers. In this way, dicationic (Re1-Re2, Tc1-Tc2) and monocationic (Re3-Re4, Tc3-Tc4) complexes with variable lipophilicity were synthesized. The (99m)Tc complexes (Tc1-Tc4) are highly stable under physiological conditions and their chemical identification was done by HPLC comparison with the Re congeners (Re1-Re4), which were fully characterized by common analytical techniques (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), IR, multinuclear NMR). The in vitro biological evaluation of Tc1-Tc4 was performed in a panel of human tumor cell lines (PC-3, MCF-7 and H69), including cell lines overexpressing P-glycoprotein (MCF-7/MDR1 and H69/Lx4), and in isolated mitochondria. All the tested complexes showed a low to moderate cellular and mitochondrial uptake and did not undergo significant P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-mediated efflux processes. In particular, the dication Tc2 and the monocation Tc4 presented the highest cellular and mitochondrial uptake. Their cellular uptake was shown to depend on the mitochondrial (Δψm) and plasma membrane (Δψp) potentials. Altogether, the biological properties of these compounds suggest that they might be relevant for the design of radioactive metalloprobes for in vivo targeting of mitochondria.

Abstract
Engineering peptide-based targeting agents with residues for site-specific and stable complexation of radionuclides is a highly desirable strategy for producing diagnostic and therapeutic agents for cancer and other diseases. In this report, a model N-S-N(Py) ligand (3) and a cysteine-derived α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) peptide (6) were used as novel demonstrations of a widely applicable chelation strategy for incorporation of the [M(I)(CO)(3)](+) (M = Re, (99m)Tc) core into peptide-based molecules for radiopharmaceutical applications. The structural details of the core ligand-metal complexes as model systems were demonstrated by full chemical characterization of fac-[Re(I)(CO)(3)(N,S,N(Py)-3)](+) (4) and comparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis between 4 and [(99m)Tc(I)(CO)(3)(N,S,N(Py)-3)](+) (4a). The α-MSH analogue bearing the N-S-N(Py) chelate on a modified cysteine residue (6) was generated and complexed with [M(I)(CO)(3)](+) to confirm the chelation strategy's utility when applied in a peptide-based targeting agent. Characterization of the Re(I)(CO)(3)-6 peptide conjugate (7) confirmed the efficient incorporation of the metal center, and the (99m)Tc(I)(CO)(3)-6 analogue (7a) was explored as a potential single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) compound for imaging the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) in melanoma. Peptide 7a showed excellent radiolabeling yields and in vitro stability during amino acid challenge and serum stability assays. In vitro B16F10 melanoma cell uptake of 7a reached a modest value of 2.3 ± 0.08% of applied activity at 2 h at 37 °C, while this uptake was significantly reduced by coincubation with a nonlabeled α-MSH analogue, NAPamide (3.2 μM) (P < 0.05). In vivo SPECT/X-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging and biodistribution of 7a were evaluated in a B16F10 melanoma xenografted mouse model. SPECT/CT imaging clearly visualized the tumor at 1 h post injection (p.i.) with high tumor-to-background contrast. Blocking studies with coinjected NAPamide (10 mg per kg of mouse body weight) confirmed the in vivo specificity of 7a for MC1R-positive tumors. Biodistribution results with 7a yielded a moderate tumor uptake of 1.20 ± 0.09 percentage of the injected radioactive dose per gram of tissue (% ID/g) at 1 h p.i. Relatively high uptake of 7a was also seen in the kidneys and liver at 1 h p.i. (6.55 ± 0.36% ID/g and 4.44 ± 0.17% ID/g, respectively), although reduced kidney uptake was seen at 4 h p.i. (3.20 ± 0.48% ID/g). These results demonstrate the utility of the novel [M(I)(CO)(3)](+) chelation strategy when applied in a targeting peptide.
