Preparation of Macrobicyclic Cryptands for Radiometal Complexation

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT Macrobicyclic cryptands and especially derivatives with functionalized side arms (picolinate, pyrimidine carboxylate, and bipyridine carboxylate) are able to complex metal ions effectively. In this regard, four new functionalized cryptands were prepared in a convenient two‐step synthesis procedure starting from basic compound 4,10,16,22,27‐pentaoxa‐1,7,13,19‐tetraazabicyclo[11.11.5]nonacosane and fully characterized. Their complexation behavior was tested via 1H NMR titration with Ba2+, Sc3+, La3+, Lu3+, In3+, and Pb2+ pointing out log K values between 1.4 and 4.0. Radiolabeling with selected cations of radiopharmaceutical relevance (131Ba, 225Ac, and 133La) was performed.
