Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for providing pyridazine via the rapid oxidation of dihydropyridazine. This pyridazine can be used in treatments such as radiotherapy, diagnostics, imaging, and other photochemical methods. Background Technology
[0002] Tetraazine-linked labeled targeting carriers can be used for imaging purposes (e.g., diagnostics and other photochemical imaging methods) and for therapeutic purposes. For example, such targeting carriers are labeled with radiolabels that can be used for diagnostics and / or therapy. Specific uses depend on the characteristics of the radiolabel used, as different radionuclides are provided for different purposes. Furthermore, specific uses also depend on the specific target to which the carrier is targeted. Currently, several combinations of radiolabels and carriers are used in diagnostics, therapy, therapeutic diagnostics, and imaging. Different chemical entities exist that link the radiolabeled entity to the target entity. This invention is based on tetraazine ligation, in which tetraazine (Tz) and trans-cyclooctene (TCO) are linked, followed by the rapid oxidation of the corresponding click product (i.e., dihydropyridazine) to the corresponding pyridazine, thereby reducing the complexity of the reaction products bridging the radiolabel and the target entity.
[0003] The term "tetraazine linkage" refers to a class of rapid, simple, versatile, chemoselective click reactions that offer high product yields. These reactions have been widely applied in numerous research fields, including materials science, polymer chemistry, and pharmaceutical science. Radiochemistry is one area that truly showcases the potential of click chemistry, as illustrated by Zeng et al. in the *Journal of Nuclear Medicine*, 54, 829-832, 2013. Essentially, the selectivity, ease of use, speed, and modularity of click linkages make them almost perfectly suited for the construction of radiotracers, a process often involving working with biomolecules under aqueous conditions with rapidly decaying radioisotopes.
[0004] Tetraazine linkages are characterized by the formation of a covalent bond between 1,2,4,5-tetraazine (Tz) and a typical trans-cyclooctene (TCO). The reaction is initiated by a reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder reaction, followed by a reverse Diels-Alder reaction driven by N2 expulsion. Tetraazine linkages are among the fastest known chemical linkages, with a second-order rate constant as high as 10⁻⁶ in MeCN at 25 °C. 6 M -1 s -1 This is contrary to other known click responses, such as the Staudinger connection (0.003M). -1s -1 ) and strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) (0.1M -1 s -1 For this reason, and due to its specificity, Tz linkage is well-suited for syntheticon-based labeling. A major drawback of conventional Tz-TCO linkage is that it lacks any regiospecificity when it occurs. Furthermore, conventional Tz-TCO linkage also produces several tautomeric forms. This means that conventional Tz-TCO linkage typically yields a complex reaction mixture of at least sixteen distinct isomers (Scheme 1). Such mixtures of isomers cannot be used directly for pharmaceutical purposes because the specific isomers of the compound affect the pharmacokinetics of the therapeutic agent, and it is impossible to distinguish any potential toxicological effects of individual isomers. While the various dihydropyridazines obtained from conventional linkage can be slowly and spontaneously oxidized to the corresponding pyridazine over hours to days, thus slowly reducing the number of tautomeric forms of the product (WO2012 / 121746), this slow oxidative transformation does not reduce the number of regio and stereoisomers. Methods to accelerate the conversion of dihydropyridine to pyridazine have been described (Karaki Fumika et al., Tetrahedron, 97, 132411, 2021; Keinänen et al., ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 7, 62-66, 2015). However, in all reported cases, the oxidation was not completed within two hours, which is required if the pyridazine is to be used as a radiopharmaceutical. WO2017 / 059397, WO2020 / 242948, Syvänen et al., ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 11, 4460-4468, 2020, and WO2012 / 121746 disclose the connection between tetrazine and TCO, which will inevitably provide several isomeric chemical entities.
[0005] Alternatively, pyridazines can be prepared by linking Tz with strained cyclic alkynes, but the second-order rate constant of this reaction is slow.
[0006] Radiopharmaceuticals are increasingly used in therapeutic diagnostics, particularly in oncology, for both diagnostic imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. Positron emission tomography (PET) is the gold standard for nuclear imaging, offering superior resolution and quantification compared to other modalities. In 2019 alone, 2,200,800 clinical PET scans were performed in the United States. Targeted radionuclide therapy treats cancer more effectively than many of the most advanced chemotherapy therapies. It also offers advantages over external beam radiotherapy (such as Gamma Knife) because it provides a method for confining the delivered dose to the tumor and its surrounding area, which is particularly significant in the radiotherapy of micrometastatic disease. The combination of diagnostic imaging and targeted radiotherapy can be used for "therapeutic diagnostics," a concept with powerful applications in personalized medicine involving patient selection, dose discovery, and monitoring of treatment response. Therapeutic diagnostic pairings involve two radionuclides that can be substituted for each other without altering the pharmacokinetics of the radiopharmaceutical, but whose application is shifted between diagnostic imaging and radionuclide therapy.
[0007] The two most widely used diagnostic imaging methods are nuclear-based PET and SPECT. Both methods rely on the binding of a radionuclide to a carrier that targets cancer cells. In imaging, this radiolabeled carrier is called a "radiotracer." The radiotracer accumulates in the tumor lesion, and its location can then be observed by detecting the emitted radiation. PET is strongly favored in oncology, while SPECT dominates in cardiology and is used for bone scans and certain other specific organ scans. Globally, the ratio of SPECT cameras to PET cameras used in hospitals is approximately 5:1.
[0008] Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is the earlier of the two methods. SPECT imaging uses gamma photons emitted by a radionuclide, typically in the range of 100-200 keV. A series of two-dimensional projection images of the distribution of the radiotracer in the body are acquired from multiple angles using one or more gamma cameras. These projection images are then combined to generate a 3D image.
[0009] Positron emission tomography (PET) is currently considered the most advanced form of nuclear imaging. A key application of PET in oncology is in diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring, particularly for metastatic cancer. Compared to previous modalities, especially SPECT, PET offers improved resolution and sensitivity, and generally provides higher quality images. These properties are particularly relevant in the detection of very small metastases and subsequent treatment. New innovations, especially whole-body PET, have significantly improved sensitivity and detected more metastases, promising to further solidify PET's dominant position in modern clinical practice. PET relies on the use of radionuclides that emit positrons upon decay. These positrons travel a limited distance and then annihilate with electrons in the surrounding medium. This produces two annihilation photons, each at 511 keV, emitted in opposite directions. These photons can be detected by a PET scanner.
[0010] The ideal radionuclide for PET is fluorine-18 (F18). 18 F). 18 The decay half-life of F is 110 minutes, and each decay emits 97% positrons. 18 F is close to being an ideal choice for clinical PET applications. This is especially true for small molecule and peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals, which represent the vast majority of relevant PET tracers. Equally important, 18 F can actually be mass-produced (>300 doses per batch) on standard biomedical cyclotrons, which are readily available in most parts of the world, with over 200 existing in Europe alone. Therefore, 18 F is unconcerned about its closest competitor (the generator produces radioactive gallium-68). 68 Ample supply of Ga) related to Ga) 18 The lower the positron energy of F, the higher the resolution of the image. Compared to the most widely used diagnostic radionuclide (SPECT radionuclide technetium-99m), 18 F provides the highest quality images through its state as a PET radionuclide. Therefore, 18 F is expected to become a key diagnostic radionuclide in the future.
[0011] Radioactive iodine is widely used in SPECT imaging. Traditionally, iodine-131 (I-131) is used. 131 I), but nowadays, clinical SPECT scans typically use iodine-123 (I), 123 I) proceed. This is because... 123 I has a shorter half-life (t½ = 13.2 hours) and lacks β-emission, compared to 131Iodine exhibits more favorable radiotoxicity. Its 159 keV gamma photon energy is ideal for clinical SPECT imaging. Due to the intrinsic accumulation of iodine in the thyroid gland, the free form... 123 I is widely used for imaging thyroid diseases. It is also a component of the SPECT radiotracer. 123 I is used, for example, in imaging agents MIBG (oncology) and ioflupane (CNS). 123 I and clinically used β-emission therapeutic radionuclides 131 I and research Auger electron beam radiotherapy agents 125 Iodine-123 is used for diagnosis and treatment matching. It is produced in a cyclotron by proton irradiation of xenon gas in a capsule and is commercially available.
[0012] Iodine-124 ( 124 I) It can be used for PET imaging. It is typically produced in a cyclotron by bombarding tellurium-124 enriched with it. However, 124 Imaging characteristics of I are not ideal. It has a complex decay scheme with many high-energy gamma rays. Only 23% of the decays result in positron emission.
[0013] Astatine-211 ( 211 Alpha (α) is primarily a therapeutic radionuclide that emits alpha particles upon decay. Alpha particles are absorbed by tissues up to 100 µm in diameter and cannot be detected by external scanners. However, 211 One decay branch of At also produces X-rays in the 70-90 keV range, which can be imaged using a gamma camera or SPECT scanner. Therefore, SPECT imaging can be used to... 211 Clinical assessment of the distribution of At-labeled radiopharmaceuticals in patients.
[0014] However, introducing these radionuclides into molecules remains a challenge, which limits the practical application of radionuclides in therapy, diagnosis, and imaging.
[0015] Most of the aforementioned PET, SPECT, and therapeutic radionuclides are radioactive metals. The traditional method for introducing radioactive metals into carrier molecules involves using chelating agent groups that form coordinate bonds with the radioactive metal atoms. Radiolabeling procedures typically involve mixing a radiolabeled precursor (the carrier with the chelating agent group) with radioactive metal ions and heating the mixture to allow the chelation reaction to proceed. While the chelation of radioactive metals is conceptually simple, it has several drawbacks:
[0016] - Due to the insignificant differences in physicochemical properties, radiolabeled products are usually impossible to separate from unlabeled precursors;
[0017] - The chelation reaction is sensitive to trace metal impurities in the solution used for radiolabeling, which makes scale-up problematic;
[0018] Heating is necessary to overcome the activation barrier of the chelation reaction and may degrade the temperature-sensitive carrier.
[0019] Compared to its radioactive metal alternatives, 18 F is a halogen and needs to be covalently bonded to the targeting carrier. This contrasts sharply with chelator-based labeling techniques used for radiometals. Covalent bonds are currently typically formed by direct nucleophilic substitution of the leaving group (e.g., trifluoromethanesulfonates). This chemical reaction is demanding, time-consuming, and poorly scalable, making it incompatible with many carriers, especially the increasingly important peptides.
[0020] Small-molecule radiopharmaceuticals containing radioactive iodine are typically prepared using electrophilic detannylation or iodine-iodine exchange radiochemistry. The former is a mild, versatile, and practical reaction in which the radioactive iodide is oxidized to a positively charged iodine species, which is then substituted with a leaving group (usually a tin group) in an aromatic substitution reaction. This reaction occurs at room temperature and the yield is usually quantitative. Iodine-iodine isotope exchange is used when high molar activity is not an issue and the substrate can withstand harsh conditions. The exchange is carried out at high temperatures using acid and copper as catalysts.
[0021] Similar to fluorine and iodine, astatine-211 is a halogen that can be covalently linked to a target carrier. Aliphatic astatine-carbon bonds do not provide sufficient in vivo stability, therefore they are typically... 211 At is introduced onto the aromatic ring, forming an astatine aryl moiety. Unlike iodine, astatine cannot stably couple to tyrosine residues in proteins. 211 At was found to form a weak bond with the sulfhydryl group of cysteine, rather than with tyrosine. Therefore, 211 At-labeling requires the synthesis of a specific precursor with a suitable leaving group (e.g., a trialkyltin group attached to an aromatic ring). Standard 211 At-labeling schemes use oxidizing agents, such as chloramine-T or N-chlorosuccinimide. These agents may degrade biomolecules used as targeting carriers.
[0022] 18 F has long been the preferred radionuclide for diagnostic PET imaging, and 211 At is the most promising therapeutic radionuclide for alpha therapy. Iodine radioisotopes 123 I, 124 I, 125 I and 131I can be used for SPECT imaging, PET imaging, Auger therapy, and β-therapy, respectively. Furthermore, all three elements can be introduced into an aromatic ring to form a fluorine / iodine / astatine aryl moiety with maximum structural similarity, which is crucial for therapeutic diagnostic pairing. However, there is no information regarding... 18 F and 211 At or radioactive iodine 123 I, 124 I, 125 I, 131 Reports of I being used in combination for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
[0023] As mentioned above, development 18 F / 211 At and 18 F / 123 I, 124 I, 125 I, 131 One obstacle to I-1 therapy-diagnostic pairing is the demanding labeling chemistry, which prevents the direct regioselective labeling of biomolecular targeting vectors with these radionuclides. Another obstacle is that not all targeting vectors contain an aryl moiety, so it must be introduced as a prosthetic group (also known as a synthon).
[0024] Due to these challenges, synthon-based methods have been investigated for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals. These methods involve the direct labeling of a single intermediate compound (“synthesis”) and then conjugating it to a carrier under mild conditions. Therefore, the carrier is unaffected by the harsh conditions of direct radiolabeling, although it does require modification with a chemical label complementary to the radiolabeled synthon. Crucially, the chemistry used to conjugate the synthon to the carrier is essential. This chemistry must be specific, compatible with pharmaceutically relevant aqueous media, and yield high enough to avoid radioactive loss and minimize the need for subsequent purification. Crucially, it must also be very rapid, as the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals is carried out at nanomolar to micromolar concentrations and must be completed or nearly completed within minutes due to the decay of the radionuclide. In light of this, click chemistry has emerged as a strategic approach for radiolabeling a range of targeted carriers, such as monoclonal antibodies, nanomedicines, peptides, or small molecules.
[0025] Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) can be based on β-emitters, Auger electron emitters, and α-emitters.
[0026] Radioactive nuclides that emit beta particles (e.g.) 90 Y、 177 Lu、 131I) By emitting high-energy electrons (β particles) that decay, these electrons can travel a distance of approximately 12 mm within tissue. The decay energy is deposited within the largest tissue volume of the three treatment types mentioned here. Therefore, β emitters are suitable for treating medium-sized tumors, where most of the dose is absorbed by cancer cells. However, for micrometastases or heterogeneous tumors, even with perfect concentrations of radionuclides within and around the tumor, most of the radiation dose is still absorbed by surrounding healthy cells. Therefore, β emitters are not the optimal choice for treating micrometastases or heterogeneous tumors. This is a significant drawback of β emitters, as micrometastases are one of the leading causes of cancer recurrence and cancer death.
[0027] α-emitters (e.g.) 225 Ac、 211 At and 212 Pb decays with the emission of alpha particles. Alpha particles are much heavier than beta particles, and their trajectories are straight and short—approximately 30–100 μm, comparable to the diameter of a few mammalian cells. Therefore, all the energy produced by decay is transferred to only a few neighboring cells. Compared to beta radiation, alpha radiation is more cytotoxic and can be delivered to microtransfers in a highly focused manner.
[0028] A clear example of the advantages of alpha therapy: a flagship beta-therapeutic agent 177 Lu-PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) resistant metastatic prostate cancer patients in alpha-therapy 225 Complete remission was achieved after three cycles of Ac-PSMA.
[0029] Auger electron beam radiotherapy (AeRT) utilizes radionuclides that emit short-range electron showers upon decaying via electron trapping (EC) or internal conversion (IC). Using advanced drug delivery technologies, these specialized radionuclides can be delivered directly to the nucleus of cancer cells. Here, the emitted Auger electrons damage DNA and kill the cancer cells. Notably, the short range of the Auger electrons ensures that their energy is primarily deposited within the target cells, resulting in highly localized therapy. 123 I and 125 I has a high Auger electron production rate and is suitable for AeRT.
[0030] Iodine-131 ( 131 I) is a beta particle emitter widely used in clinical radionuclide therapy. Its decay half-life is 8.0 days, primarily emitting beta particles with a maximum energy of 606 keV at 90% abundance. These beta particles have a maximum tissue size of approximately 2 mm, making... 131I can treat small to medium-sized tumors. Due to its inherent accumulation in thyroid tissue, 131 I is widely used in thyroid ablation. In addition, it is used... 131 Therapeutic variants of radiolabeled MIBG are available. 131 I is used in radioimmunotherapy. It is related to... 123 I (SPECT) and 124 I (PET) formation therapy diagnostic pairing. Both iodine-123 and iodine-125 exhibit high Auger electron emission, approximately 10 and 20 electrons respectively. This makes them suitable for Auger electron radiotherapy, a currently investigated form of radionuclide therapy.
[0031] Astatine-211 is an alpha-emitting radionuclide with a half-life of 7.2 hours. Unlike most other alpha-emitting nuclides used in targeted alpha therapy, 211 At produces an alpha particle on each decay chain, which offers several advantages for conversion. First, the toxic side effects of the radionuclides are limited, as these nuclides are released from the target carrier due to initial decay. Second, radiation dosimetry calculations are simplified. Furthermore, because... 211 At has a relatively short half-life (for therapeutic nuclides), which can enhance the control of radiation dose delivered to patients.
[0032] Targeted for tumors 211 Phase I / II clinical studies of At-labeled radiopharmaceuticals have shown low acute toxicity and no radiation side effects. Preclinical studies have shown that... 211 At can effectively eradicate tumors in animal models. Therefore, 211 At is a promising therapeutic radionuclide.
[0033] However, to enable click chemistry (e.g., Tz-TCO linking) to deliver viable end products in both regulatory and commercial settings, it is necessary to reduce the number of linking products prepared. Currently available methods produce a large number of inseparable isomers, hindering clinical translation due to toxicity issues and unpredictable pharmacokinetics. Furthermore, a limitation to the practical application of radiolabeled products is that the radiolabeled compounds must be administered to patients for imaging, treatment, or diagnostic purposes within a very limited timeframe after production. Therefore, any method that reduces the linking steps would be highly beneficial, especially when radioactive reagents are used as labelers, diagnostic agents, therapeutic agents, therapeutic diagnostic agents, or in combination with other reagents.
[0034] This invention provides a rapid method for providing labeled pyridazine products, wherein the ligation step takes less than 180 minutes, and wherein a form or only a few forms of pyridazine are provided. This means that the complexity of the reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder reaction is reduced, which simplifies the clinical translation and production of these compounds. This method advantageously enables the radiolabeling of any tracer with unparalleled efficiency and practicality, for example using... 18 F, 123 I, 124 I, 125 I or 131 I and 211 At. Summary of the Invention
[0035] This invention provides a method for the rapid oxidation of dihydropyridazines to pyridazines. The method is applicable to mixtures of dihydropyridazines generated by a click reaction between a first chemical entity and a second chemical entity, wherein the first chemical entity is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or a strained olefin with a reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity, and the second chemical entity is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or a strained olefin with a complementary reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity. One of the first or second chemical entities is coupled to a label, and the other is coupled to a targeting support. The connection between the first and second chemical entities is subsequently followed by rapid acid-catalyzed oxidation. The advantages of this method are that it oxidizes dihydropyridazines to pyridazines in a minimal time and significantly reduces the complexity of the reaction mixture, thereby simplifying clinical translation and reducing production costs.
[0036] A method for providing the rapid oxidation of dihydropyridazine to pyridazine includes the following steps:
[0037] a) A first chemical entity is labeled with a labeling agent, the first chemical entity having a reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity and being coupled to a pharmaceutical, diagnostic, or therapeutic agent; wherein the first chemical entity is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or a dienophile selected from: a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans-configured double bond; an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans-configured double bond; and
[0038] b) Connect the labeled first chemical entity obtained in step a) to a second chemical entity, the second chemical entity having complementary anti-electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity and being coupled to a target support; wherein the second chemical entity is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or a dienophile selected from: a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans configuration double bond; an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans configuration double bond;
[0039] c) The resulting mixture of the dihydropyridazine-labeled targeting support obtained in step b) is oxidized in a solvent at a temperature of 15°C to 50°C for up to 180 minutes by adding an acid catalyst and an oxidant, wherein the acid catalyst has a pKa of less than 5 in H₂O at 25°C, is added to the mixture obtained in step b) at a concentration of 0.1 M to 5 M, and the oxidant is selected from quinone oxidants, Bobbit salt oxidants, peroxide oxidants, peroxyacid oxidants, or oxidants with a minimum UV irradiance of 2 mW / cm². 2 Ultraviolet light.
[0040] The labeling agent can be any reagent that can be used as a marker, imaging agent, therapeutic agent, or therapeutic diagnostic agent, including radionuclides and fluorescent entities.
[0041] The targeting vector can be any suitable vector for a specific target, including antibodies, nanobodies, polymers, nanomedicines, cells, proteins, peptides, and small molecules.
[0042] Furthermore, the present invention also provides the application of the labeled pyridazine-conjugated targeting vector obtained by this method in therapeutic diagnosis, treatment, radiotherapy, diagnosis and imaging. Attached Figure Description

[0056] definition
[0057] A container is an entity in which a chemical reaction (such as an oxidation step) takes place. In this context, a container is a laboratory glassware, such as a bottle. Bottles can be made of borosilicate, quartz, or other suitable materials.
[0058] In this document, a labeler refers to an imaging agent that is attached to a chemical entity that exhibits a reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity and is coupled to a pharmaceutical, diagnostic, or therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, or therapeutic agent coupled to the chemical entity is the same as the labeler. For example, when the labeler is something that can be used as both a labeler and a therapeutic or diagnostic agent (e.g., a diagnostic imaging agent). 18 This is the case when using reagents of F). Labeling agents include radionuclides. However, since labeling dienes or dienophiles with radionuclides does not typically provide 100% labeling efficiency (using radionuclides), some labeled products will inevitably be labeled with stable isotopes of the corresponding radionuclide elements.
[0059] In this article, "connection" refers to a click reaction between a first chemical entity with a reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity and a second chemical entity with a complementary reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity.
[0060] "First chemical entity" and "second chemical entity" refer to a pair of compounds with complementary reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity. This pair is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine and a diephile, the diephile being a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans-configured double bond or an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans-configured double bond. One of the 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or the diephile is labeled with a labeling agent and coupled to a pharmaceutical, diagnostic, or therapeutic agent, while the other is coupled to a targeting carrier. Thus, in some embodiments, the "first chemical entity" is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine, and the "second chemical entity" is a diephile being a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans-configured double bond or an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans-configured double bond. In other embodiments, the "first chemical entity" is a dienophile, which is a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans configuration double bond or an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans configuration double bond, and the "second chemical entity" is 1,2,4,5-tetraazine.
[0061] In this article, the solvent is a mixture of water and water-miscible substances.
[0062] Ultraviolet irradiance in mW / cm 2 The unit is ultraviolet irradiance reaching the surface of the reaction vessel, and it is the unit specified on commercially available ultraviolet lamps. An ultraviolet irradiance of at least 2 mW / cm² is required. 2 The lamp is sufficient to provide at least 90% oxidation efficiency of pyridazine in glass and quartz cuvettes with an optical path of 2 mm (700 μl) to 30 mm (10 ml). Detailed Implementation
[0063] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for the rapid oxidation of dihydropyridazines to pyridazines. This method is applicable to the oxidation of various dihydropyridazines generated by the linkage of a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine with a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans-configured double bond or an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans-configured double bond. Rapid oxidation is achieved by employing a combination of acid and various oxidants (including chemical oxidants) and ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation.
[0064] Tetraazine or strained olefins are coupled to the reagent of interest (e.g., pharmaceuticals, diagnostic agents, imaging agents, or therapeutic agents) and labeled with a labeling agent. Compatible dienes or dienophiles are then coupled to the target carrier of interest.
[0065] The linkage between tetrazine and the strained olefin is based on the reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity; therefore, the tetrazine and the strained olefin must possess complementary reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity. The linkage between the tetrazine and the strained olefin should exhibit reaction kinetics as specified, with a minimum second-order rate constant of 250 M, determined by stop-flow spectrophotometry in PBS at 25 °C. -1 s -1 The connection between the tetrazine and the strained olefin specified herein ensures that the second-order rate constant in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 25°C is avoided to be below 250 M. -1 s -1 The connection was such that, at 25°C in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the second-order rate constant was less than 250 M. -1 s -1 The binding process will take a long time to provide the labeled target carrier because the time available for the radiolabeled agent to be used for imaging and / or treatment after the binding step is usually limited.
[0066] The second-order rate constant can be determined by various methods, but is typically determined by stop-flow spectrophotometry, as described in (Chance, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 1951, 22, 619-627). In this paper, the method described in Battisi et al., J. Med. Chem. 2021, 64, 20, 15297-15312 is used.
[0067] In order to rapidly provide labeled chemical entities or targeting carriers with improved homogeneity (which will carry pyridazines derived from the linkage between tetrazine and strained olefins), it is necessary to oxidize the resulting composite mixtures of various dihydropyridazines.
[0068] This paper demonstrates that, under specific conditions, oxidation performed by chemical or photochemical methods can be rapidly accelerated by adding acid. It also shows that not all oxidants are suitable for this method, either because oxidation is not efficient enough to operate within the required timeframe or produces byproducts, or because oxidation affects the structure of the target carrier, potentially preventing the labeled target carrier from binding to its target. The oxidation efficiency of step c) in this method is at least 90%, meaning that at least 90% of the labeled and clicked target carrier is in pyridazine form after the oxidation step. Oxidation conditions providing less than 90% product will not have sufficient purity for therapeutic / imaging / diagnostic use, requiring additional toxicology studies and / or purification procedures.
[0069] This paper demonstrates that by adding a combination of acid catalyst and oxidant, suitable oxidation can be achieved in a solvent at temperatures ranging from 15°C to 50°C for up to 180 minutes. The acid catalyst has a pKa value below 5 in H₂O at 25°C and is added at a concentration of 0.1 M to 5 M. The oxidant is a quinone oxidant, a Bobbit salt oxidant, a peroxide oxidant, a peroxyacid oxidant, or ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 When using ultraviolet light as the oxidant, a photosensitizer may optionally be added during the oxidation step to further accelerate the reaction. The photosensitizer depends on the wavelength of the applied ultraviolet light; therefore, the photosensitizer should be selected according to the wavelength of the ultraviolet light applied in the oxidation step. It is well known which photosensitizer is suitable at a given wavelength, and it is anticipated that oxidation step c) in this method can be carried out at an ultraviolet light wavelength of 200-400 nm, and the photosensitizer can be selected accordingly. In a preferred embodiment, the oxidation in step c) is carried out at 200-300 nm (e.g., 200-350 nm, 250-350 nm, 250-300 nm) or, for example, at 254 nm. When applied to ultraviolet light at wavelengths of 200-350 nm (e.g., at 254 nm), the preferred photosensitizer is a fluorescein or porphyrin photosensitizer, such as fluorescein or substituted 4,4',4''-(20-phenylporphyrin-5,10,15-triyl)tribenzenesulfonic acid or substituted 4,4',4''-(20-phenylporphyrin-5,10,15-triyl)tris(1-methylpyridin-1-onium).
[0070] The term "acid" used in step c) refers to any molecule having a pKa value of at least 5 or less for protons as measured in H₂O at 25°C. Suitable acids have pKa values from -10 to 5, such as -8 to 3, -8 to 1, -6 to 1, -4 to 1, -2 to 1, or, for example, -10 to 2, -9 to 1, -8 to 0, -10 to -2, -10 to -4, -10 to -6, or, for example, -8 to -10. The lower the pKa, the better the reaction rate. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the acid has a pKa from -10 to 0, such as -10 to -8, -10 to -6, -10 to -4, -10 to -2, and -8 to 0.
[0071] Furthermore, the concentration of acid in the solvent must be between 0.1M and 5M, for example, 0.5M-5M, 1M-5M, 1.5M-5M, 2M-5M, 2.5M-5M, 3M-5M, 3.5M-5M, 4M-5M, or 4.5M-5M. In a preferred embodiment, the concentration of acid in the solvent is between 0.5M and 3M, for example, 0.5M-2M, or for example, 1M.
[0072] Therefore, methods for the rapid oxidation of dihydropyridazine to pyridazine include:
[0073] a) A first chemical entity is labeled with a labeling agent, the first chemical entity having a reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity and being coupled to a pharmaceutical, diagnostic, or therapeutic agent; wherein the first chemical entity is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or a dienophile selected from: a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans-configured double bond; an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans-configured double bond; and
[0074] b) Connect the labeled first chemical entity obtained in step a) to a second chemical entity, the second chemical entity having complementary anti-electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity and being coupled to a target support; wherein the second chemical entity is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or a dienophile selected from: a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans-configured double bond; an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans-configured double bond; and
[0075] c) The resulting mixture of the dihydropyridazine-labeled targeting support obtained in step b) is oxidized in a solvent at a temperature of 15°C to 50°C for up to 180 minutes by adding an acid catalyst and an oxidant, wherein the acid catalyst has a pKa of less than 5 in H₂O at 25°C, is added to the mixture obtained in step b) at a concentration of 0.1 M to 5 M, and the oxidant is selected from quinone oxidants, Bobbit salt oxidants, peroxide oxidants, peroxyacid oxidants, or oxidants with a minimum UV irradiance of 2 mW / cm². 2Ultraviolet light.
[0076] In some implementations, the first chemical entity is the same as the coupled pharmaceutical, diagnostic, or therapeutic agent and the labeling agent. This is the case, for example, when the labeling agent is a reagent that can be used as both a labeling agent and a therapeutic or diagnostic agent.
[0077] In some implementations, the labeling agent is a radionuclide. Certain radionuclides can be used for imaging, diagnosis, and / or treatment; in this example, the same radionuclide can be used as both a labeling agent and an imaging or therapeutic agent. Labeling dienes or dienophiles with radionuclides typically does not provide 100% labeling efficiency (with radionuclides), and some labeled products will inevitably be labeled with stable isotopes of the corresponding radionuclide elements.
[0078] This method can label any target vector with unparalleled efficiency and practicality, for example, using... 18 F. Radioactive iodine ( 123 I, 124 I, 125 I or 131 I) and 211 At is used for radiolabeling. The breakthrough of this method lies in its ability to form a final product with improved homogeneity within 180 minutes (typically within 60 minutes, e.g., within 1–20 minutes), thus simplifying clinical translation. In contrast, conventional tetrazine linkages produce multiple products, thus requiring large and difficult-to-manage toxicological packaging or cumbersome and time-consuming separation.
[0079] The pyridazine-containing targeting carriers obtained by the method of this invention can be applied to various purposes depending on the properties of the reagents used as markers. Suitable markers for this method include radiolabelers and fluorescent markers.

[0089] The targeting carrier mentioned in step b) of the method for providing a targeting carrier containing a labeled pyridazine (the targeting carrier coupled with a tetrazine or with a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon (having at least one trans-configured double bond) or an unsaturated heterocycle (having at least one trans-configured double bond) can be any kind of targeting carrier suitable for therapeutic, imaging, or diagnostic purposes, such as a targeting carrier with [missing information - likely a specific type of target carrier]. Commonly used targeting carriers of this type suitable for this method include antibodies, nanobody, polymer, nanomedicine, cells, proteins, peptides, and small molecules.
[0090] Commonly used targeting vectors suitable for this method include: peptides, such as octreotide, octreotate, and AE105; and small molecules, such as FAPI derivatives and PSMA derivatives.
[0091] In a preferred embodiment, the target carrier used in the method for providing a target carrier containing labeled pyridazine is selected from: octreotide derivatives, octreotide acid derivatives, AE105 derivatives, FAPI derivatives, and PSMA derivatives.
[0092] The linkage of the compounds involved in steps a) and b) of the method will be determined by a minimum second-order rate constant of 250 M by stop-flow spectrophotometry in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 25°C. -1 s -1 It occurs under certain conditions (due to the structure of these compounds).
[0093] In the method for providing a pyridazine-containing targeting vector, the oxidation step c) is carried out at a specific temperature and time by adding a specific oxidant to the mixture of linking compounds obtained in step b). These conditions ensure that the oxidation step is ≥90% efficient, thereby meeting the speed required for therapeutic, diagnostic, or imaging applications of the pyridazine-containing targeting vector.
[0094] The time required to achieve an oxidation efficiency of ≥90% depends on the specific compound being oxidized, the temperature, the oxidant equivalent, and the oxidant itself. Under the conditions employed in this method, an oxidation efficiency of ≥90% will be achieved within 180 minutes (e.g., 0-160 minutes, 0-120 minutes, 0-90 minutes, 0-60 minutes, 0-50 minutes, 0-40 minutes, 0-30 minutes, 0-20 minutes, 0-10 minutes, or 0-5 minutes). In a preferred embodiment, an oxidation efficiency of ≥90% is achieved within 0-20 minutes.
[0095] The oxidation step is performed at a temperature of 15°C-50°C, for example, 15°C-45°C, 15°C-40°C, 15°C-35°C, 20°C-30°C, or about 20°C-25°C. The preferred temperature is room temperature, for example, between 20°C and 25°C.
[0096] All oxidations should be catalyzed by the addition of an acid. In one embodiment, the oxidant should be a chemical oxidant, preferably a quinone oxidant selected from quinone oxidants, Bobbit salt oxidants, peroxide oxidants, or peroxyacid oxidants. Surprisingly, it has been found here that using other types of oxidants will either fail to provide the desired pyridazine-containing target carrier or will negatively affect the structure of the target carrier. The acid and chemical oxidant are added to a complex mixture of various dihydropyridazines obtained by linking tetrazines and strained olefins (this mixture is obtained in step b) of the method for providing a target carrier containing labeled pyridazines), wherein the product obtained in step b) is in amounts from 1 to 100 equivalents, for example, 10 to 90 equivalents, 20 to 80 equivalents, 30 to 70 equivalents, 40 to 60 equivalents, or 50 equivalents. Preferably, 1 to 10 equivalents (e.g., 1 equivalent) of the oxidant are added to the labeled compound obtained in step b).
[0097] In another embodiment, oxidation shall be carried out in the presence of an acid by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 Photocatalysis is performed. An acid is added to a composite mixture of various dihydropyridazines obtained by linking tetrazines and strained olefins obtained in step b), and the mixture is exposed to ultraviolet light, for example, 200 to 400 nm, 200 to 280 nm (UVC), 280 to 315 nm (UVB), and 315 to 400 nm (UVA). Preferably, 254 nm.
[0098] In another embodiment, oxidation should be carried out in the presence of acid by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 ), or by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2mW / cm). 2 (A photosensitizer (e.g., a fluorescein or porphyrin photosensitizer) is added) for photochemical catalysis. An acid is added to a complex mixture of various dihydropyridazines obtained by linking a tetrazine with a strained olefin obtained in step b), and the mixture is exposed to ultraviolet light, for example, 200 to 400 nm, 200 to 280 nm (UVC), 280 to 315 nm (UVB), or 315 to 400 nm (UVA). Preferably, the exposure is at 254 nm.
[0099] In a preferred embodiment, the oxidation in step c) is performed by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 ) or by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2mW / cm²) 2 (where a photosensitizer is added) to perform photochemical catalysis, wherein the 1,2,4,5-tetraazine in step a) or step b) is bispyridyltetraazine.
[0100] In another preferred embodiment, the oxidation in step c) is photocatalyzed by ultraviolet light, wherein the ultraviolet irradiance is, for example, 2 to 50 mW / cm². 2 2 to 40 mW / cm 2 2 to 20 mW / cm 2 2 to 15 mW / cm 2 5 to 15 mW / cm 2 10 to 15 mW / cm 2 12mW / cm is preferred 2 .
[0101] In a preferred embodiment, the method for oxidizing dihydropyridazine to pyridazine includes:
[0102] a) A first chemical entity is labeled with a labeling agent, the first chemical entity having a reverse electron-demanding Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity and being coupled to a pharmaceutical, diagnostic, or therapeutic agent; wherein the first chemical entity is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or a dienophile selected from: a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans-configured double bond; an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans-configured double bond; and
[0103] b) Connect the labeled first chemical entity obtained in step a) to a second chemical entity, the second chemical entity having complementary anti-electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactivity and being coupled to a target support, wherein the second chemical entity is a 1,2,4,5-tetraazine or a dienophile selected from: a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon having at least one trans-configured double bond; an unsaturated heterocycle having at least one trans-configured double bond; and
[0104] c) The resulting mixture of the dihydropyridazine-labeled targeting support obtained in step b) is oxidized in a solvent at a temperature of 15°C to 50°C for up to 180 minutes by adding an acid catalyst and an oxidant, wherein the acid catalyst has a pKa of less than 5 in H₂O at 25°C, is added to the mixture obtained in step b) at a concentration of 0.1 M to 5 M, and the oxidant is selected from quinone oxidants, Bobbit salt oxidants, peroxide oxidants, peroxyacid oxidants, or oxidants with a minimum UV irradiance of 2 mW / cm². 2 The oxidation must be carried out in a quartz container if the oxidant is ultraviolet light and the tetrazine in step a) or b) is bispyridyltetrazine.
[0105] When the oxidation in step c) is passed through ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2mW / cm²), 2 ) or by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2mW / cm²) 2When photocatalysis is performed by adding a photosensitizer, it has been found that the solvent may affect the oxidation rate, thereby affecting the time required to complete oxidation to at least 90%. The more water present in the solvent, the faster the oxidation rate. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, when the oxidant in step c) is a minimum UV irradiance of 2 mW / cm², 2 When ultraviolet light (optionally with added photosensitizer) is applied, the solvent in step c) contains 1-99% water, such as 5-95% water, such as 20-95%, 30-95%, 40-95%, 50-95%, 60-95%, 70-95%, 80-95%, or 90-95% water.
[0106] It was also found that when oxidation in step c) is carried out by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²), 2 Alternatively, through ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 When photocatalysis is performed by adding a photosensitizer, the material of the container (e.g., a bottle) in which oxidation takes place can affect the reaction rate of the oxidation step, and consequently the time required to complete oxidation to at least 90%. As shown in the examples, the reaction time for UV photocatalytic oxidation is significantly reduced when the oxidation step is performed in a quartz bottle compared to a standard borosilicate glass bottle. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, when the oxidant in step c) is UV light (minimum UV irradiance of 2 mW / cm²), the reaction time is significantly reduced. 2 When optionally adding a photosensitizer, step c) is carried out in a quartz container.
[0107] Furthermore, it was found that when oxidation in step c) is carried out by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²), 2 Alternatively, through ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 When photocatalysis is performed by adding a photosensitizer, using an open container (e.g., an uncapped vial) for the oxidation step may affect the reaction rate of the oxidation step, thus affecting the time required to complete oxidation to at least 90%. As shown in the examples, the reaction time for UV photocatalytic oxidation is reduced when the oxidation step is performed in an open bottle compared to a closed bottle. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, when the oxidant in step c) is UV light (optionally with the addition of a photosensitizer), step c) is performed in an open container.
[0108] This study found that when oxidation in step c) is catalyzed by ultraviolet light or by photochemical catalysis with the addition of a photosensitizer, the intensity of the ultraviolet light source may affect the reaction rate of the oxidation step. Therefore, oxidation should be performed using ultraviolet light (with a minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 The reaction is carried out to allow for rapid oxidation (i.e., within 180 minutes).
[0109] In one embodiment, the oxidant is solid-supported. Any commonly used solid support is suitable, such as oxidants supported on alumina, silica gel, polymers, montmorillonite, zeolite, or nanomaterials. The advantages of using solid-supported oxidants generally include: ease of removal from the reaction by filtration; the ability to use excess reagent to advance the reaction without introducing purification difficulties; ease of operation; and economical and efficient recycling of the recovered reagent.

[0116] This reaction can form a variety of isomers (at least 12 isomers), all of which have very similar polarities and are therefore difficult to separate, for example by HPLC.
[0117] In this paper, we describe a method that reduces complexity by improving the uniformity of application of a labeled first chemical entity (e.g., a radiolabeled tetrazine synthon) in the radiolabeling of cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons (having at least one trans-configured double bond); and unsaturated heterocyclic (having at least one trans-configured double bond) functionalized supports (and vice versa), followed by oxidation to generate a pyridazine-containing targeting support within a short time (e.g., within 0–180 minutes). The method comprises three steps: a labeling step, a linking step, and an oxidation step.
[0118] The starting entity to be joined is a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon (with at least one trans configuration double bond) or an unsaturated heterocycle (with at least one trans configuration double bond) and 1,2,4,5-tetraazine.
[0119] The following schemes 2 and 3 are illustrations of examples of connections performed according to the method of the present invention, exemplified here by asymmetric tetrazine and TCO coupled to a target carrier:

[0125] Option 5: Connection of asymmetric Tz with a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon (with at least one trans configuration double bond).
[0126]
[0127] Option 6: Linkage of symmetrical tetrazine with a cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon (having at least one trans configuration double bond)

[0161] Step c) in the method for providing a targeting carrier containing pyridazine is an oxidation step. Although the self-oxidation of the linked entity targeting carrier (e.g., pyridazine) obtained in step b) of the method occurs spontaneously, the process is extremely slow and can last for hours or even days. Step c) of the method provides a method for rapidly oxidizing a mixture of dihydropyridazines to obtain the pyridazine compound via a catalytic acid, wherein the pyridazine-containing targeting carrier is obtained within at least 180 minutes (e.g., within 1-20 minutes). These conditions ensure that the efficiency of the oxidation step is ≥90%, thereby meeting the speed required for therapeutic, diagnostic, or imaging applications of the targeting carrier containing labeled pyridazine. To facilitate this process, the dihydropyridazine is oxidized by a standard or solid-loaded oxidant (preferably solid-loaded). The oxidation step can be carried out at a temperature of 15 to 50°C, for example at 20 to 30°C, preferably at room temperature, for about 10 to 180 minutes, preferably less than 20 minutes. To facilitate oxidation, 1 to 100 equivalents (preferably 1 equivalent) of a chemical oxidant and an acid are added to the linked compound obtained in the linking step. The oxidant must be selective, used to oxidize dihydropyridazine to pyridazine. The targeting carrier must not be chemically modified by the oxidant. The oxidant can be a quinone oxidant, a Bobbit salt oxidant, a peroxide oxidant, a peroxyacid oxidant, or ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 ), optionally add photosensitizer.
[0162] The acid is added to the complex mixture of various dihydropyridazines obtained in step b) by linking tetrazines and strained olefins, and exposed to ultraviolet light, for example, 200 to 400 nm, 200 to 280 nm (UVC), 280 to 315 nm (UVB), or 315 to 400 nm (UVA). Preferably, 254 nm.
[0163] In a preferred embodiment, oxidation is carried out in the presence of acid by ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 Alternatively, through ultraviolet light (minimum ultraviolet irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 Photocatalysis was achieved by adding photosensitizers (e.g., fluorescein or porphyrin photosensitizers). An acid was added to a complex mixture of various dihydropyridazines obtained in step b), which consisted of tetrazines and strained olefins, and then exposed to ultraviolet light (minimum UV irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 The wavelengths are ultraviolet light, such as 200 to 400 nm, 200 to 280 nm (UVC), 280 to 315 nm (UVB), or 315 to 400 nm (UVA). Preferably, the wavelength is UVC, for example, 254 nm.
[0164] Depending on the labeling agent, pharmaceutical agent, imaging agent, or therapeutic agent, and depending on the targeting carrier, the targeting carrier containing labeled pyridazine provided by the method can be used for treatment, radiotherapy, therapeutic diagnosis, diagnosis, or imaging.
[0165] Preferably, the targeting support is coupled to the linker via a nitrogen atom on the targeting support. Alternatively, preferably, the targeting support is coupled to the linker via a carbonyl group on the targeting support.
[0166] In a preferred embodiment, a targeting vector containing labeled pyridazine is used for treatment.
[0167] In another preferred embodiment, a targeting carrier containing labeled pyridazine is used for radiotherapy.
[0168] In another preferred embodiment, the targeting vector containing labeled pyridazine is used for therapeutic diagnosis.
[0169] In another preferred embodiment, a targeting vector containing labeled pyridazine is used for diagnosis.
[0170] In another preferred embodiment, a targeting vector containing labeled pyridazine is used for imaging.

[0172] Overview
[0173] All reagents and solvents were dried according to standard methods before use. Commercially available reagents were used, and no further purification was required. Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed using silica gel 60F254 (Merck), with detection performed by carbonization following UV absorption and / or immersion in 7% sulfuric acid EtOH solution or KMnO4 solution (1.5 g KMnO4, 10 g K2CO3, and 1.25 mL 10% NaOH in 200 mL water). Compound purification was performed by silica gel column chromatography (40–60 μm, 60 Å) or using a CombiFlash NextGen 300+ (Teledyne ISCO). Recordings were performed on Bruker instruments (400 and 600 MHz). 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, using chloroform- d MeOH- d 4 or DMSO- d 6 As a deuterated solvent, the residual solvent was used as an internal standard. The deuterated solvent signal was used as an internal standard for all NMR experiments. Chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm). Coupling constants (J values) are expressed in Hertz (Hz). 1The multiplexing of the 1H NMR signals is reported as follows: s, singlet; d, doublet; dd, doublet; ddd, doublet of doublets of doublets; dt, doublet triplet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet; br, broad signal. The NMR spectra of all compounds were reprocessed based on the original FID files using MestReNova software (version 12.0.22023). Mass spectrometry analysis was performed using MS-Acquity-A: Waters Acquity UPLC with a QDa detector. Purification was performed by preparative HPLC on an Agilent 1260 Infinity system with a SymmetryPrep-C18 column, 17 mL / min H2O-MeCN gradient 50-100%, 15 min, using 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The purity of all final compounds was >95% as determined by analytical HPLC. Analytical HPLC method: (Thermo Fisher® UltiMate 3000), C-18 column (Luna® 5u C18(2) 100Å, 150×4.6mm), eluent: A: H2O containing 0.1% TFA, B: MeCN containing 0.1% TFA. Gradient elution: from 100% A to 100% B in 15 minutes, and back to 100% A in 4 minutes, at a flow rate of 1.5 mL / min. Detection was performed on a UVD 170U detector by UV absorption at λ = 254 nm.

[0310] Screening of oxidants for the oxidation of dihydropyridazine to pyridazine
[0311] Figure 1-4 The reaction between tetrazine and TCO is shown, dissolved in a 1:1 H₂O / EtOH (%v / v). Figure 2 , 3 Figures 4 and 5 show the results obtained under different conditions during the oxidation step. Cycloaddition was completed within 5 minutes, yielding several isomeric dihydropyridazines. Then, an acid and an oxidant were added to give the final pyridazine product. Each oxidant (5 equivalents) was added to the mixture, and the reaction was analyzed by HPLC-MS after 60 minutes. The time required for the oxidation reaction is also shown in the figures. These screening experiments unexpectedly showed that not all combinations of oxidants and acids are suitable for providing pyridazines. In most cases, the addition of an acid (TFA) catalyzed the process. For all quinone oxidants, the corresponding pyridazine was formed, with quinones exhibiting higher electron deficiency exhibiting better performance, i.e., faster oxidation. The examples of the listed inorganic oxidants failed to convert the click product (dihydropyridazine) to the corresponding pyridazine within 60 minutes. In the case of Bobbitt salts, the addition of an acid (TFA) catalyzed the process. In the case of the listed examples of organic oxidants, mixed results were obtained. For peroxides and peracids, the addition of an acid (TFA) catalyzed the process.
[0312] Figure 4-7 The results of photocatalytic oxidation are shown. Photocatalytic oxidation was performed using a 16×254nm 35W lamp (RPR-2537A, UV irradiance 12mW / cm²).2 The results were obtained in a Rayonet® reactor, with the addition of acid and / or photosensitizer. The combination of these parameters showed a significant non-additive effect. Figure 8 and Figure 9 This shows data on the use of different oxidants to oxidize two different dihydropyridazine compounds.

[0366] Oxidation of radiolabeled compounds
[0367] Will be through mixing 18 Obtained from F-Tz and TCO solution 18 A crude solution (50-100 µL) of the F-click product (as described in the click section (Example 4)) was used for the oxidation experiment. The oxidation protocol consisted of two steps: acidification and introduction of an oxidant.
[0368] Acidification: Mix the solution of the click product with an acid solution at a ratio of 19:1 or 9:1 v / v. The acid solution is pure acid or an aqueous solution of the desired acid.
[0369] Oxidation using a solid oxidant: In the same organic co-solvent used in the click reaction (i.e., EtOH for ethanol-water mixtures and acetonitrile for acetonitrile-water mixtures), a solution of the acidified click product is further mixed with a solution of 10 mg / mL of the desired solid oxidant at a ratio of 9:1 v / v. If the oxidant cannot be dissolved to 10 mg / mL in the selected co-solvent, a saturated solution is used instead. The oxidation mixture is placed in a sealed vial and left at room temperature for the desired time. The sample is then removed and analyzed by HPLC.
[0370] Oxidation using air oxygen: Place a solution (60-100 µL) of the acidified click product in an open vial and leave it at room temperature for the required time. Then, remove the sample and analyze it by HPLC.
[0371] Oxidation using medical oxygen: At room temperature, medical oxygen from a rubber balloon is bubbled through an acidified solution of the click product (60-100 µL). When the total volume of the solution decreases by more than two-fold due to evaporation, reconstruction is performed using the same water-organic mixture used in the click reaction. The sample is then removed and analyzed by HPLC.
[0372] UV-assisted oxidation: A solution of the acidified click product is mixed with a concentrated solution of the desired photosensitizer in water or a suitable organic co-solvent at a ratio of 9:1 v / v (for fluorescent dyes). The resulting mixture is irradiated under a CAMAG UV lamp equipped with 2 × 254 nm 8W lamps (UV irradiance of 2 mW / cm²). 2 The required time period is determined, and then the sample is removed and analyzed by HPLC.

[0394] Measurement of second-order rate constant
[0395] The second-order rate constants of all click reactions carried out in the previous examples were measured by stopped-flow spectroscopy in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 25 °C, according to the method described in the following literature (Battisti et al. J. Med. Chem. 2021, 64, 20, 15297-15312 (see page 15310 for experimental details and influencing factors)). Briefly, stopped-flow measurements were performed using an SX20-LED stopped-flow spectrophotometer (Applied Photophysics) equipped with a 535 nm LED (10 mm path length, 34 nm full width at half maximum) to monitor the visible absorbance (520-540 nm) of the characteristic tetrazines. A reagent syringe filled with a solution of axial-TCO-PEG4 was used to pre-treat the instrument. Subsequent data for each tetrazine were collected in triplicate. Reactions were carried out in PBS at 25 °C and recorded automatically at acquisition. The dataset was analyzed by fitting exponential decay using Prism 6 (GraphPad) to calculate the observed pseudo-first-order rate constant, which was converted to a second-order rate constant by dividing by the concentration of excess TCO compound.
[0396] Only at 25°C in phosphate-buffered saline does it exhibit a minimum second-order rate constant of 250 M. -1 s -1Only reactions that meet these criteria are considered suitable for providing sufficient rate kinetics. These measurements confirm that click reactions between 1,2,4,5-tetraazine and dienophiles (cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one trans-configured double bond) and click reactions between 1,2,4,5-tetraazine and dienophiles (unsaturated heterocycles with at least one trans-configured double bond) both exhibit a 250 M [response value missing]. -1 s -1 The minimum second-order rate constant.
