Résumé

Abstract Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is used in oncology for tumor diagnosis, commonly relying on fluorine‐18 ( 18 F) emission detection. The conventional method of 18 F incorporation on to probes by covalent bonding is harsh for sensitive biomolecules, which are nonetheless compounds of choice for the development of targeted probes. This study explores gallium– 18 F (Ga 18 F) coordination, a milder alternative method occurring in aqueous media at the final stage of radiosyntheses. Pyclen‐based chelating agents were proposed to capture (GaF) species at room temperature and pH ≥5 making the radiofluorination process compatible with heat‐ and acid‐sensitive biomolecules. Highly promising results were obtained with the PC2A–based chelating agent LH 2 derived from the new bifunctional PC2A–OAE–NCS compound. The solid‐state structure of GaF(L) was elucidated by X‐ray diffraction and revealed an unconventional heptacoordination of Ga(III). A high radiochemical conversion (RCC) of 86 % was achieved at room temperature, in water at pH 5 within 20 minutes. Stability studies showed the robustness of the GaF(L) complex in aqueous media for at least one day and at least one hour for the radiolabeled analog Ga 18 F(L ). These findings demonstrated that PC2A‐based compounds are chelating agents of choice for (Ga 18 F) species, suggesting a real technological breakthrough for PET imaging and precision medicine.
