    摘要: Site-selective conjugation to biomolecules via thiol-based chemistry is superior to the unselective modification of lysine residues, which produce a mixed product and can potentially interfere with binding affinity of the biomolecule. However, in physiological environments, the maleimide-thiol conjugation product which is the current gold-standard for site-selective thiol-conjugation can be susceptible to hydrolysis or a retro-Michael reaction via exchange with reactive thiols such as those in albumin or glutathione residues yet the degradation is relatively slow. Therefore, for in vivo studies, the maleimide-thiol conjugation proposes instability issues. The compositions and methods disclosed herein provide an alternative thiol-based linkage, one that overcomes the instability issues with conventional reagents and methods. The compositions and methods disclosed herein are useful in various contexts, for example, for 18F-labeling of peptides/proteins in the preparation of positron emission tomography (PET) probes.

    摘要: Disclosed is a device for the synthesis of a radiotracer, including a universal confined enclosure designed for the insertion of a specific synthesis cassette of the radiotracer and the removal of same. The synthesis cassette includes a synthesis module designed to receive reagents and a radioisotope for the synthesis of the radiotracer. An inner connector plate includes at least one inlet, designed to be connected to a radioisotope admission and also to the inlet of the cassette, and an outlet, designed to be connected to a syringe to be filled with the radiotracer and also to the outlet of the cassette. Such a synthesis device can be installed in a facility including, in a confined room, as well as such devices normally arranged in a storage area, a synthesis station, a radioisotope admission, at least one window for communication to the outside, and a manipulator robot.
