Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful imaging technique that provides in vivo information on the distribution of radiolabeled biomolecules. For example, 2-deoxy-2-18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) has successfully made PET a routine clinical practice in cancer diagnose, patient stratification, and monitoring the treatment of cancer patients.[1] The advancement of PET depends on the development of new radiotracers that will complement 18F-FDG. Although PET nuclides 11C (t1/2= 20.4 min) and 18F (t1/2= 109.7 min) have been widely used for the development of PET imaging probes, their short halflives set a strong limitation for evaluating bioactive ligands with long in vivo circulation time. 64Cu (t1/2= 12.7 h) decays by β+(20%) and β− emission (37%), as well as electron capture (43%), making it well suited for radiolabeling proteins, antibodies and peptides, both for PET imaging (β+) and therapy (β+ and β−).[2] The low β+-energy also promises a good resolution of down to 1 mm in PET images and guarantees minimal radiation doses to the patients during imaging scans.[3]Because direct addition of 64Cu into a targeting ligand (such as peptides and antibodies) is not practical, significant efforts have been devoted to the development of bifunctional chelators (BFCs) for 64Cu. Currently, 1, 4, 7, 10-tetra-azacyclododecane-N, N', N'', N'''-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) is one of the most widely used chelators for 64Cu labeling. However, its moderate in vivo stability would increase the non-targeted organ radiation dosage and lower the tumor-to-nontumor contrast.[4, 5] 64Cu-Labeled radiopharma-ceuticals with improved stability have been reported including 1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA) derivatives,[6–7] cross-bridged 1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1, 4, 8, 11-tetraacetic acid (CB-TETA),[5, 8] and 1, 4, 8, 11-tetraazabicyclo [6.6. 2] hexadecane (CB-TE2A) derivatives.[9–11] For these BFCs, relatively harsh conditions such as elevated temperature were generally required for 64Cu chelation. Recently, a new class of BFCs has been
