Oxime formation between an aminooxy-functionalized peptide and an F-18-labelled aldehyde has recently been introduced as a powerful method for the rapid one-step chemoselective synthesis of radiofluorinated peptides.Here, the potential of using routinely produced and thus readily available [F-18]fluorodeoxyglucose ([F-18]FDG) as the aldehydic prosthetic group was investigated using an aminooxyacetyl-conjugated cyclic RGD peptide (cyclo(RGDfK(Aoa-(Boc)) as a model peptide.The use of [F-18]FDG from routine production ([F-18]FDGTUM) containing an excess of d-glucose did not allow the radiosynthesis of [F-18]FDG-RGD in activities > 37 MBq in reasonable yield, rendering the direct use of clinical grade [F-18]FDG for the routine clinical synthesis of F-18-labelled peptides impossible. Using no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) [F-18]FDG obtained via HPLC separation of [F-18]FDGTUM from excess glucose, however, afforded [F-18]FDG-RGD in yields of 56-93% (decay corrected) and activities up to 37 MBq. Suitable reaction conditions were 20 min at 120A degrees C and pH 2.5, and a peptide concentration of 5 mM. In a preliminary in vivo biodistribution study in M21 melanoma-bearing nude mice, [F-18]FDG-RGD showed increased tumour accumulation compared to the "gold standard" [F-18]galacto-RGD (2.18 vs 1.49 %iD/g, respectively, at 120 min after injection), but also slightly increased uptake in non-target organs, leading to comparable tumour/organ ratios for both compounds.These data demonstrate that chemoselective F-18-labelling of aminooxy-functionalized peptides using n.c.a. [F-18]FDG represents a radiofluorination/glycosylation strategy that allows preparation of F-18-labelled peptides in high yield with suitable pharmacokinetics. As soon as the necessary n.c.a. preparation of [F-18]FDG prior to reaction with the Aoa-peptide can be implemented in a fully automated [F-18]FDG-synthesis, [F-18]fluoroglucosylation of peptides may represent a promising alternative to currently used chemoselective one-step F-18-labelling protocols.
