Equilibrium and formation/dissociation kinetics of some Ln(III)PCTA complexes.

ABSTRACT: The protonation constants () of 3,6,9,15-tetraazabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene-3,6,9-triacetic acid (PCTA) and stability constants of complexes formed between this pyridine-containing macrocycle and several different metal ions have been determined in 1.0 M KCl at 25 degrees C and compared to previous literature values. The first protonation constant was found to be 0.5-0.6 log units higher than the value reported previously, and a total of five protonation steps were detected (log = 11.36, 7.35, 3.83, 2.12, and 1.29). The stability constants of complexes formed between PCTA and Mg2+, Ca2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ were also somewhat higher than those previously reported, but this difference could be largely attributed to the higher first protonation constant of the ligand. Stability constants of complexes formed between PCTA and the Ln3+ series of ions and Y3+ were determined by using an "out-of-cell" potentiometric method. These values ranged from log K = 18.15 for Ce(PCTA) to log K = 20.63 for Yb(PCTA), increasing along the Ln series in proportion to decreasing Ln3+ cation size. The rates of complex formation for Ce(PCTA), Eu(PCTA), Y(PCTA), and Yb(PCTA) were followed by conventional UV-vis spectroscopy in the pH range 3.5-4.4. First-order rate constants (saturation kinetics) obtained for different ligand-to-metal ion ratios were consistent with the rapid formation of a diprotonated intermediate, Ln(H(2)PCTA)(2+). The stabilities of the intermediates as determined from the kinetic data were 2.81, 3.12, 2.97, and 2.69 log K units for Ce(H(2)PCTA), Eu(H(2)PCTA), Y(H(2)PCTA), and Yb(H(2)PCTA), respectively. Rearrangement of these intermediates to the fully chelated complexes was the rate-determining step, and the rate constant (k(r)) for this process was found to be inversely proportional to the proton concentration. The formation rates (k(OH)) increased with a decrease in the lanthanide ion size [9.68 x 10(7), 1.74 x 10(8), 1.13 x 10(8), and 1.11 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) for Ce(PCTA), Eu(PCTA), Y(PCTA), and Yb(PCTA), respectively]. These data indicate that the Ln(PCTA) complexes exhibit the fastest formation rates among all lanthanide macrocyclic ligand complexes studied to date. The acid-catalyzed dissociation rates (k1) varied with the cation from 9.61 x 10(-4), 5.08 x 10(-4), 1.07 x 10(-3), and 2.80 x 10(-4) M(-1) s(-1) for Ce(PCTA), Eu(PCTA), Y(PCTA), and Yb(PCTA), respectively.

Project description:In order to rationalize the influence of FeIII contamination on labeling with the 68Ga eluted from 68Ge/68Ga-generator, a detailed investigation was carried out on the equilibrium properties, formation and dissociation kinetics of GaIII- and FeIII-complexes of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-tris(methylene[2-carboxyethylphosphinic acid]) (H6TRAP). The stability and protonation constants of the [Fe(TRAP)]3- complex were determined by pH-potentiometry and spectrophotometry by following the competition reaction between the TRAP ligand and benzhydroxamic acid (0.15 M NaNO3, 25°C). The formation rates of [Fe(TRAP)] and [Ga(TRAP)] complexes were determined by spectrophotometry and 31P-NMR spectroscopy in the pH range 4.5-6.5 in the presence of 5-40 fold HxTRAP(x-6) excess (x = 1 and 2, 0.15 M NaNO3, 25°C). The kinetic inertness of [Fe(TRAP)]3- and [Ga(TRAP)]3- was examined by the trans-chelation reactions with 10 to 20-fold excess of HxHBED(x-4) ligand by spectrophotometry at 25°C in 0.15 M NaCl (x = 0,1 and 2). The stability constant of [Fe(TRAP)]3- (logKFeL = 26.7) is very similar to that of [Ga(TRAP)]3- (logKGaL = 26.2). The rates of ligand exchange reaction of [Fe(TRAP)]3- and [Ga(TRAP)]3- with HxHBED(x-4) are similar. The reactions take place quite slowly via spontaneous dissociation of [M(TRAP)]3-, [M(TRAP)OH]4- and [M(TRAP)(OH)2]5- species. Dissociation half-lives (t1/2) of [Fe(TRAP)]3- and [Ga(TRAP)]3- complexes are 1.1 × 105 and 1.4 × 105 h at pH = 7.4 and 25°C. The formation reactions of [Fe(TRAP)]3- and [Ga(TRAP)]3- are also slow due to the formation of the unusually stable monoprotonated [*M(HTRAP)]2- intermediates [*logKGa(HL) = 10.4 and *logKFe(HL) = 9.9], which are much more stable than the [*Ga(HNOTA)]+ intermediate [*logKGa(HL) = 4.2]. Deprotonation and transformation of the monoprotonated [*M(HTRAP)]2- intermediates into the final complex occur via OH--assisted reactions. Rate constants (kOH) characterizing the OH--driven deprotonation and transformation of [* Ga(HTRAP)]2- and [*Fe(HTRAP)]2- intermediates are 1.4 × 105 M-1s-1 and 3.4 × 104 M-1s-1, respectively. In conclusion, the equilibrium and kinetic properties of [Fe(TRAP)] and [Ga(TRAP)] complexes are remarkably similar due to the close physico-chemical properties of FeIII and GaIII-ions. However, a slightly faster formation of [Ga(TRAP)] over [Fe(TRAP)] provides a rationale for a previously observed, selective complexation of 68GaIII in presence of excess FeIII.

Project description:The thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural properties of Ln3+ complexes with the bifunctional DO3A-ACE4- ligand and its amide derivative DO3A-BACE4- (modelling the case where DO3A-ACE4- ligand binds to vector molecules) have been studied in order to confirm the usefulness of the corresponding Gd3+ complexes as relaxation labels of targeted MRI contrast agents. The stability constants of the Mg2+ and Ca2+ complexes of DO3A-ACE4- and DO3A-BACE4- complexes are lower than for DOTA4- and DO3A3-, while the Zn2+ and Cu2+ complexes have similar and higher stability than for DOTA4- and DO3A3- complexes. The stability constants of the Ln(DO3A-BACE)- complexes increase from Ce3+ to Gd3+ but remain practically constant for the late Ln3+ ions (represented by Yb3+). The stability constants of the Ln(DO3A-ACE)4- and Ln(DO3A-BACE)4- complexes are several orders of magnitude lower than those of the corresponding DOTA4- and DO3A3- complexes. The formation rate of Eu(DO3A-ACE)- is one order of magnitude slower than for Eu(DOTA)-, due to the presence of the protonated amine group, which destabilizes the protonated intermediate complex. This protonated group causes the Ln(DO3A-ACE)- complexes to dissociate several orders of magnitude faster than Ln(DOTA)- and its absence in the Ln(DO3A-BACE)- complexes results in inertness similar to Ln(DOTA)- (as judged by the rate constants of acid assisted dissociation). The 1H NMR spectra of the diamagnetic Y(DO3A-ACE)- and Y(DO3A-BACE)- reflect the slow dynamics at low temperatures of the intramolecular isomerization process between the SA pair of enantiomers, R-Λ(λλλλ) and S-Δ(δδδδ). The conformation of the Cα-substituted pendant arm is different in the two complexes, where the bulky substituent is further away from the macrocyclic ring in Y(DO3A-BACE)- than the amino group in Y(DO3A-ACE)- to minimize steric hindrance. The temperature dependence of the spectra reflects slower ring motions than pendant arms rearrangements in both complexes. Although losing some thermodynamic stability relative to Gd(DOTA)-, Gd(DO3A-BACE)- is still quite inert, indicating the usefulness of the bifunctional DO3A-ACE4- in the design of GBCAs and Ln3+-based tags for protein structural NMR analysis.
