Abstract: As one of the most important types of Click chemistry, copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction has attracted great attention. In this study, 2-[18F]fluoroethyl azide([18F]FEA) was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of 18F-. Then, [18F]fluoroethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-c(RGDfK)[18F-c(RGDfK)] was radio-synthesized as integrin αvβ3 targeted PET tracer fast and efficiently via Click reaction of [18F]FEA with propioloyl c(RGDfK). Three catalyst systems of click reaction were investigated: CuSO4/NaVc, CuI(s) and CuI/NH4OH, the last two have been used in peptide-click-labeling for the first time. While CuSO4/NaVc catalysing the Click reaction, the total radio-chemistry yield of 18F-c(RGDfK) was 62% and the synthesis time was about 60 min(decay-corrected). Click chemistry has demonstrated to be an extraordinarily efficient and convenient method for the preparation of 18F labeled peptides.
