Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) catalyze the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. Elevated ALDH expression in human cancers is linked to metastases and poor overall survival. Despite ALDH being a poor prognostic factor, the non-invasive assessment of ALDH activity in vivo has not been possible due to a lack of sensitive and transla- tional imaging agents. Presented in this report are the syn- thesis and biological evaluation of ALDH1A1-selective chemi- cal probes composed of an aromatic aldehyde derived from N,N-diethylamino benzaldehyde (DEAB) linked to a fluorinat- ed pyridine ring either via an amide or amine linkage. Of the focused library of compounds evaluated, N-ethyl-6-(fluoro)- N-(4-formylbenzyl)nicotinamide 4b was found to have excel- lent affinity and isozyme selectivity for ALDH1A1 in vitro. Following 18F-fluorination, [18F]4b was taken up by colorectal tumor cells and trapped through the conversion to its 18F-la- beled carboxylate product under the action of ALDH. In vivo positron emission tomography revealed high uptake of [18F]4b in the lungs and liver, with radioactivity cleared through the urinary tract. Oxidation of [18F]4b, however, was observed in vivo, which may limit the tissue penetration of this first-in-class radiotracer.
