Abstract:
The parallel oxorhenium-mediated assembly of 288 noncyclic RGD analogues is reported. All complexes contain a NS(2) +S chelating motif that enables the unambiguous coordination of the oxorhenium and oxotechnetium cores. In this study, "modules S" contain a variety of pending guanidinium groups whereas the "NS(2) modules" are made of a series of N-acylated amino acids. Combination of sets of "NS(2) " and "S modules" together with tetrabutylammonium tetrachlorooxorhenate gave the corresponding oxorhenium complexes in good yields and satisfactory purities. Evaluation of these metalloconstructs towards integrins α(V) β(3) , α(IIb) β(3) , and α(V) β(5) led to the identification of micromolar and submicromolar antagonists of theses integrins. These compounds exhibit interesting selectivities and promise attractive applications for the molecular imaging of integrin-dependent pathologies.

Activation of Integrins
In "outside-in signaling," external factors in the extracellular space bind to exposed ligand binding sites on integrins. This causes the inactive protein to undergo a conformational change to become active. Integrins are often clustered on the cell membrane. Repetitive and regularly spaced ligand binding events provide an effective stimulus.
