[18F]SiFA-isothiocyanate: a new highly effective radioactive labeling agent for lysine-containing proteins

Chembiochem. 2009 May 25;10(8):1321-4. doi: 10.1002/cbic.200900132.

Abstract

A highly efficient (18)F-labeling synthon for universal protein labeling is reported. Diverse (18)F-labeled proteins of 66-144 kDa were prepared with [(18)F]SiFA-isothiocyanate synthesized by an isotopic (19)F for (18)F exchange at the silicon atom. Overall preparative radiochemical yields were 20-40 % after 40-50 min. No bone uptake of (18)F radioactivity was detected until 90 min post-injection of (18)F-SiFA-RSA; this demonstrates the metabolic stability of the [(18)F]SiFA moiety.
