2. 1. Development of new Fluorination Methods Directed to Fluorine-18 Labelling

   Author : Miguel Ángel Cortés González; Kálmán J. Szabó; Guosheng Liu; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fluorine; fluorine-18; late-stage; labelling; nucleophilic; electrophilic; fluorination; positron emision tomography; PET; hypervalent iodine; benziodoxole; metal-free; DBU; copper; palladium; rhodium; carbene; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the development of new fluorination reactions and their application to fluorine-18 labelling. Fluorine-18 labelled compounds are employed as tracers in Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which is a powerful non-invasive imaging method in medical diagnostics. READ MORE

4. 2. Synthesis of Organofluorine Compounds and Allenylboronic Acids - Applications Including Fluorine-18 Labelling

   Author : Denise N. Meyer; Kálmán J. Szabó; Dominique Cahard; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; boron; allenylboronic acid; BINOL; homopropargyl alcohol; organocatalyst; organoboron; organofluorine; fluorine; fluorine-18; late-stage; labelling; labeling; nucleophilic; electrophilic; fluorination; positron emision tomography; PET; radiotracer; hypervalent iodine; benziodoxole; benzoxazepines; diaryliodonium salt; metal-free; neutrophil elastase; NE; neutrophil elastase inhibitor; trifluoromethylation; trifluoromethylthiolation; difluoro enol silyl ethers; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : This work is focused on two areas: the chemistry of organofluorine and organoboron compounds. In the first chapter, a copper-catalysed synthesis of tri- and tetrasubstituted allenylboronic acids is presented. Extension of the same method leads to allenylboronic esters. READ MORE

5. 3. One-click away from higher contrast : Improvements to peripheral clearance for same-day immunoPET in Alzheimer’s disease

   Author : Eva Schlein; Dag Sehlin; Jordi Llop Roig; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease AD ; bispecific antibody; Amyloid-β Aβ ; Receptor mediated transcytosis RMT ; Neonatal Fc receptor FcRn ; Blood-brain barrier BBB ; Inverse electron demand Diels−Alder reaction IEDDA; pre-targeting; tetrazine; bio-orthogonal; Fluorine-18; clearing agent;

   Abstract : The brain is a challenging target for antibody-based positron emission tomography (immunoPET) to image amyloid-beta (Aβ). Antibodies detect pathology with high sensitivity, but due to their size and biological half-life, they cause a high background radiation, if radiolabelled. READ MORE

6. 4. Development of novel fluorine-18 labeled PET radioligands for monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B)

   Author : Sangram Nag; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Monoamine oxidases (MAO-A and MAO-B) are important enzymes regulating the levels of monoaminergic neurotransmitters. Selective and irreversible MAO-B inhibitors such as L-deprenyl and rasagiline are clinically used for the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. READ MORE

7. 5. Preclinical PET imaging of Alzheimer's disease progression

   Author : Xiaotian T. Fang; Stina Syvänen; Dag Sehlin; Lars Lannfelt; Merja Haaparanta-Solin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; transgenic mice; PET; antibody-based tracer; mGluR5; ABP688; di-scFv; amyloid-β;

   Abstract : Amyloid PET imaging with [11C]PIB enabled detection of Aβ for the first time in vivo. However, [11C]PIB is a small molecule that binds only the insoluble Aβ plaque. Rather, the soluble Aβ aggregates are considered the cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). READ MORE
