title: Synthesis of a DOTA--biotin conjugate for radionuclide chelation via Cu-free click chemistry.
abstract: A strain-induced copper-free click reaction mediated by a new and easily prepared cyclooctyne derivative was used to efficiently assemble a DOTA-biotin adduct capable of radionuclide ((68)Ga) uptake. This synthetic strategy offers a potentially general and convenient means of preparing targeted radiolabeling and radiotherapeutic agents.
