abstract = {Objectives: Low grade diffuse gliomas are primary brain
tumorscharacterized by the presence of mutations in
isocitrate dehydrogen-ase 1 (IDH1), which equip the enzyme
with a neomorphic activity thatincreases production of
2-hydroxyglutarate [1]. High concentrations ofthis
oncometabolite are thought to interfere with histone
methylationand cellular differentiation, thereby promoting
gliomagenesis. Inaddition, mutated IDH1 (mIDH1) has been
recognized as a keybiomarker for differential diagnosis,
since it is not present in themore aggressive glioblastomas.
While current approaches for detec-tion of mIDH1 require
invasive tissue sampling, positron emissiontomography (PET)
with mIDH1-selective probes could allow for non-invasive
assessment of the IDH status. Here, we describe
thepreparation, radiofluorination and preliminary biological
evaluationof two candidate PET tracers derived from the
mIDH1-selectiveinhibitor Olutasidenib.Methods: The boronic
acid pinacol ester precursor for coppermediated
radiofluorination was prepared using para bromoaniline asthe
starting material and Ellman’s sulfinamide as chiral
auxiliary forthe formation of the desired S-enantiomer.
However, due to significantproduction of the undesired
R-enantiomer, we ultimately decided toprepare and radiolabel
both R- and S-enantiomer in order to comparethem in cellular
uptake assays. For radiofluorination, [ 18 F]fluoride
wasloaded onto an anion exchange cartridge and eluted with
TEAB inMeOH followed by removal of MeOH. An equimolar
solution ofradiolabeling precursor and copper mediator in
1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone was then added and the
mixture was stirred in airat 100 °C for 15 minutes,
followed by deprotection with 0.3 M NaOH inH2 O at 80°C for
3 minutes. After HPLC-purification and formulation
inphysiological saline solution, the radiotracers were
subjected to apreliminary evaluation in wildtype and
mIDH1-transfected U-87 MGglioma cell lines.Results: The
protected (S) and (R) radiolabeling precursors wereproduced
in 15 steps and the 18F-labeled R,S-enantiomers 2 and 3
werefurnished in radiochemical yields of 60 ± $11\%,$
radiochemical purities $of>99\%$ and molar activities of
102–237 GBq/μmol. Tracers lipophilicity(logD7.4 ) was
found to be 2.53 if measured in PBS buffer but negativewhen
measured in water (logP). No degradation was observed
duringincubation in rat blood plasma at 37°C over 60
minutes. In contrast ifthe tracer was spotted onto silica
plates full degradation was observed.Cell uptake experiments
revealed a significantly higher uptake intransfected rather
than wild type cells for both [ 18F]1 and S-[18 F]2 butwhile
$90\%$ of the first could reach the cytoplasm, the latter
mostlyremained in the medium, suggesting that it may only
partially cross thecellular membrane.Conclusion: Three
18F-labelled mIDH1-selective inhibitors havebeen
successfully prepared and shown to exhibit significantly
higheruptake into mIDH1-expressing compared to wildtype
glioma cells. Apreclinical evaluation will be performed on [
18 F]1, while furtherexperiments will be conducted on [ 18
F]2 to explain the unexpectedresults and subsequently
compare them with the results of [ 18F]3.},
