Synthesis and analysis of 2-[211At]-L-phenylalanine and 4-[211At]-L-phenylalanine and their uptake in human glioma cell cultures in-vitro.
2-[211At]-L-phenylalanine and 4-[211At]-L-phenylalanine were prepared from the corresponding iodo and bromo derivatives using the Cu(+)-assisted nucleophilic exchange. 4-[211At]-L-phenylalanine was additionally prepared by destannylation of the BOC-derivatized 4-tributylstannyl-L-phenylalanine. Radiochemical yields of 2-[211At]-L-phenylalanine and 4-[211At]-L-phenylalanine by nucleophilic exchange were 52-74% and 65-85%. Radiochemical yield of 4-[211At]-L-phenylalanine by electrophilic destannylation was 35-50%. HPLC sequence analysis showed that 2-[211At]-L-phenylalanine followed the halogen sequence (F<Cl<Br<I<At) whereas 4-[211At]-L-phenylalanine eluted between 4-Br-L-phenylalanine and 4-I-L-phenylalanine (F<Cl<Br<At<I), independent on the production pathway. Uptake of 4-[211At]-L-phenylalanine and 4-[131I]-L-phenylalanine in DBTRG-05MG glioma cells was inhibited by l-phenylalanine 7-fold and 6-fold, respectively.
