Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) therapeutic regimens consist of three or more drugs targeting different steps of the viral life cycle to limit the emergence of viral resistance. In line with the multitargeting strategy, here we conjugated a naphthalene diimide (NDI) moiety with a tetraazacycloalkane to obtain novel naphthalene diimide (NDI)-tetraazacycloalkane conjugates. The NDI inhibits the HIV-1 promoter activity by binding to LTR G-quadruplexes, and the tetraazacycloalkane mimics AMD3100, which blocks HIV entry into cells by interfering with the CXCR4 coreceptor. We synthesized, purified, and tested the metal-free NDI-tetraazacycloalkane conjugate and the two derived metal-organic complexes (MOCs) that incorporate Cu2+ and Zn2+. The NDI-MOCs showed enhanced binding to LTR G4s as assessed by FRET and CD assays in vitro. They also showed enhanced activity in cells where they dose-dependently reduced LTR promoter activity and inhibited viral entry only of the HIV-1 strain that exploited the CXCR4 coreceptor. The time of addition assay confirmed the dual targeting at the different HIV-1 steps. Our results indicate that the NDI-MOC conjugates can simultaneously inhibit viral entry, by targeting the CXCR4 coreceptor, and LTR promoter activity, by stabilizing the LTR G-quadruplexes. The approach of combining multiple targets in a single compound may streamline treatment regimens and improve the overall patient outcomes.

Abstract
Herein, we report a comprehensive coordination study of the previously reported ligands cyclam, CB-cyclam, TMC, DMC, and CB-DMC and of their C-functional analogues, cyclam-E, CB-cyclam-E, TMC-E, DMC-E, and CB-DMC-E. This group of ligands includes cyclam, cross-bridged cyclams, their di- or tetramethylated derivatives, and the analogues bearing an additional hydroxyethyl group on one β-N position of the ring. The Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of these macrocycles have been highlighted previously for the biological interest, but the details of their structures in the solid state and in solution remained largely unexplored. In particular, we analyzed the impact that adding noncoordinating N-methyl and C-hydroxyethyl functionalities has in the structures of the complexes. All the Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes were synthesized and investigated using single crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR, electronic absorption, and EPR spectroscopies, along with DFT studies. Dissociation kinetics experiments in acidic conditions and electrochemical studies were also performed. Special attention was paid to analyze the different configurations present in solution and in the solid state, as well as the impact of the C-appended hydroxyethyl group on the coordination behavior. Various ratios of the trans-I, trans-III, and cis-V configurations have been observed depending on the degree of N-methylation and the presence of the ethylene cross-bridge.

Abstract
Herein we present the preparation of two novel cyclam-based macrocycles (te1pyp and cb-te1pyp), bearing phosphonate-appended pyridine side arms for the coordination of copper(II) ions in the context of 64Cu PET imaging. The two ligands have been prepared through conventional protection-alkylation sequences on cyclam, and their coordination properties have been thoroughly investigated. The corresponding copper complexes have been fully characterized in the solid state (X-ray diffraction analysis) and in solution (EPR and UV-vis spectroscopies). Potentiometric studies combined with spectrometry have also allowed us to determine their thermodynamic stability constants, confirming their high affinity for copper(II) cations. The kinetic inertness of the complexes has been verified by acid-assisted dissociation experiments, enabling their use in 64Cu-PET imaging in mice for the first time. Indeed, the two ligands could be quantitatively radiolabeled under mild conditions, and the resulting 64Cu complexes have demonstrated excellent stability in serum. PET imaging demonstrated a set of features emerging from the combination of picolinates and phosphonate units: high stability in vivo, fast clearance from the body via renal elimination, and most interestingly, very low fixation in the liver. This is in contrast with what was observed for monopicolinate cyclam (te1pa), which had a non-negligible accumulation in the liver, owing probably to its different charge and lipophilicity. These results thus pave the way for the use of such phosphonated pyridine chelators for in vivo 64Cu-PET imaging.

Abstract
In view of the excellent copper(ii) and 64-copper(ii) complexation of a TE1PA ligand, a monopicolinate cyclam, in both aqueous medium and in vivo, we looked for a way to make it bifunctional, while maintaining its chelating properties. Overcoming the already known drawback of grafting via its carboxyl group, which is essential to the overall properties of the ligand, a TE1PA bifunctional derivative bearing an additional isothiocyanate coupling function on a carbon atom of the macrocyclic ring was synthesized. This led to an architecture that is comparable to that of other commercially available bifunctional copper(ii) chelators such as p-SCN-Bn-DOTA already used in clinical trials for 64Cu-immuno-PET imaging. The C-functionalization of TE1PA on one carbon atom in the β-N position of the cyclam backbone was successfully achieved by adapting our patented methodology to the huge challenge, allowing the regiospecific mono-N-functionalization of the unsymmetrical ligand. The obtained ligand p-SCN-Bn-TE1PA was coupled to a 9E7.4 murine antibody (mAb), an IgG2a anti CD-138 for multiple myeloma (MM) targeting. The conjugation efficiency was assessed by looking at the 64Cu radiolabeling and the radiopharmaceutical 64Cu-9E7.4-p-SCN-Bn-TE1PA immunoreactivity, and in particular by comparing with 9E7.4-p-SCN-Bn-NOTA and 9E7.4-p-SCN-Bn-DOTA obtained from commercial and presumably highly efficient chelators NOTA and DOTA, respectively. The results are quite clear, showing that p-SCN-Bn-TE1PA has a coupling rate 5 times higher and an immunoreactivity 1.5 to 2 times greater than those of its two competitors. p-SCN-Bn-TE1PA also outperforms TE1PA conjugated via its carboxylic function on the same antibody. The first 64Cu-immuno-PET preclinical study in a syngeneic model of MM was performed, confirming the good in vivo properties of 64Cu-9E7.4-p-SCN-Bn-TE1PA for PET imaging, considering the high clearance even after 24 h and the particularly important tumor-to-liver ratio that was increasing at 48 h.
