    Abstract:
    In this study, we synthesized (99m)Tc(CO)(3)-2'-aminomethylpyridyl-2'-deoxyuridine ((99m)Tc(CO)(3)-AMPDU) and (99m)Tc(CO)(3)-aminoethylpyridyl-2'-deoxyuridine ((99m)Tc(CO)(3)-AEPDU) as potential agents for imaging the expression of the non-invasive herpes simplex virus type-1 thymidine kinase. AMPDU and AEPDU were synthesized from uridine in five chemical steps and then labeled with [(99m)Tc(CO)(3)(H(2)O)(3)](+) (370MBq/0.5 mL) at 100 degrees C for 10 min. Under optimal conditions (0.5 and 1.0mg for AMPDU and AEPDU and heating for 10 min), the labeling efficiency was 95.3+/-2.8% for AMPDU and 94.2+/-5.1% for AEPDU. To validate the chemical structure of (99m)Tc(CO)(3)-labeled compounds, we also synthesized ReBr(CO)(3)-AMPDU and ReBr(CO)(3)-AEPDU by reacting [Et(4)N][ReBr(3)(CO)(3)] and AMPDU or AEPDU in methanol at 25 degrees C for 6h. (99m)Tc(CO)(3)-AMPDU and (99m)Tc(CO)(3)-AEPDU had the same retention time on HPLC analysis as ReBr(CO)(3)-AMPDU and ReBr(CO)(3)-AEPDU. (99m)Tc(CO)(3)-AMPDU and (99m)Tc(CO)(3)-AEPDU had high radiochemical stabilities of 98.1+/-1.5% and 98.0+/-1.7% for 6h, respectively.
