Abstract
A series of nine organometallic technetium-99m and rhenium complexes of glucose are presented and characterized in vitro regarding their potential as surrogates of [18F]-2-fluoro-desoxy glucose ([18F]-FDG). The glucose derivatives are functionalized at positions C-1, C-2, C-3, and C-6. Different spacer lengths and chelating systems have been introduced at these sites. For the (radio)labeling, the organometallic precursors [99mTc(H2O)3(CO)3]+ and [ReBr3(CO)3](2-) respectively have been used. The resulting complexes have been characterized chemically and radiochemically. The formation of uniform products has been observed on the macroscopic (Re) and no-carrier-added level (99mTc). The Tc-99m complexes revealed good inertness against ligand exchange (Cys and His) and excellent stability in physiological buffered saline as well as in human plasma over a period of 24 h at 37 degrees C. The rhenium complexes have been tested for competitive inhibition of the (yeast) hexokinase. Only for C-2 derivatized glucose complexes with extended spacer functionalities Ki values in the millimolar and sub-millimolar range have been observed. In silico molecular docking experiments supported these experimental findings. However, the competitive inhibitors are not recognized as a pseudosubstrate of hexokinase. The cellular uptake of all 99mTc-complexes into HT-29 colon carcinoma cells via Glut1 was generally low and unspecific independent of the position at the hexose ring, the chelating systems, or the overall charge of the corresponding metal complexes. The current results seem to preclude the use of these compounds as [18F]-FDG surrogates primarily due to the low cellular uptake via Glut1.Keywords
