Brain pretargeted nuclear imaging for the diagnosis of various neurodegenerative diseases is a quickly developing field. The tetrazine ligation is currently the most explored approach to achieve this goal due to its remarkable properties. In this work, we evaluated the performance of F-537-Tetrazine, previously developed by Biogen, and N-(3-[18F]fluoro-5-(1,2,4,5-tetrazin-3-yl)benzyl)propan-1-amine, previously developed in our group, thereby allowing for the direct comparison of these two imaging probes. The evaluation included synthesis, radiolabeling and a comparison of the physicochemical properties of the compounds. Furthermore, their performance was evaluated by in vitro and in vivo pretargeting models. This study indicated that N-(3-[18F] fluoro-5-(1,2,4,5-tetrazin-3-yl)benzyl)propan-1-amine might be more suited for brain pretargeted imaging.
