We report the synthesis and evaluation of an enantiomerically enriched bifunctional chelator, (S)-C-NE3TA. The bifunctional chelator was efficiently prepared by regioselective and stereoselective ring opening of an aziridinium ion. The new chiral chelator instantly and almost completely bound to Cu-64 at room temperature. The corresponding Cu-64-radiolabeled complex remained intact in human serum for 48 h without any measurable transchelation and was tolerant to a rigorous EDTA challenge for 24 h. The Cu-64-radiolabeled (S)-C-NE3TA complex was stable in mice and produced an excellent biodistribution profile. The results of the in vitro and in vivo evaluations indicate that the new optically active chelator is a promising candidate for PET imaging applications.
