Labeling and Glycosylation of Peptides Using Click Chemistry: A General Approach to ¹⁸F‐Glycopeptides as Effective Imaging Probes for Positron Emission Tomography

Abstract

Click for PET: An efficient strategy based on click chemistry has been developed for 18F-labeling alkyne-bearing peptides with concomitant glycosylation. The mild conditions and general applicability of this reliable reaction gives access to a new class of 18F-glycopeptide radiopharmaceuticals with improved biological properties for in vivo imaging studies by positron emission tomography (PET).
