title: Chloramine-T in radiolabeling techniques. IV. Penta-O-acetyl-N-chloro-N-methylglucamine as an oxidizing agent in radiolabelling techniques.
abstract: Chloramine-T (CAT) is commonly used in radiolabeling of bioactive molecules by halogenation. CAT is used to release radioactive elemental iodine by oxidation of its salts. Unfortunately, CAT is a strong oxidizing agent and can cause significant damage to peptides and proteins. This may lower the yield of the iodination reaction and may produce undesirable side products. Recently, it was found that the in situ formation of N-chlorosecondary amines, by the addition of secondary amines to CAT prior to exposure to the substrate, can reduce the oxidative damage caused by CAT. To simplify the method, we prepared penta-O-acetyl-N-chloro-N-methylglucamine (NCMGE) as a solid N-chlorosecondary amine. The chemical reactivity of NCMGE toward a model amino acid, 1-aminocyclohexane carboxylic acid, was compared with that of chloramine-T. In the presence of the model amino acid, CAT lost all its chlorine titer within 60 min while NCMGE retained 99% of its chlorine titer. NCMGE was compared to CAT for the iodination of l-tyrosine and leucine enkephalin. For both substrates, the NCMGE method produced larger or equal yields of the monoiodo and diiodo products and less decomposition. It is proposed that the method employing NCMGE to release diatomic iodine is more convenient and efficient for radiolabeling peptides and proteins than currently used methods.
