Table 1. Structural Scaffolds, Calculated Physicochemical Properties (TPSA and clogD7.4), Measured Second-Order Rate Constants for the Ligation with TCO, and Blocking Efficiencies of All Investigated Tz-derivatives.
Notes: The distribution coefficient at physiological pH (logD7.4) and TPSA were calculated using the software Chemicalize. Tetrazines conjugated to DOTA were calculated with chelated trivalent cations, and Tzs with other chelators were calculated with bivalent cations.
Second-order rate constants for the Tz-scaffolds A–L were determined by stopped-flow spectrophotometry (n ≥ 4), monitoring the reaction of representative tetrazines with unsubstituted trans-cyclooctene (TCO) at 25 °C in 1,4-dioxane and with TCO-PEG4 (modified TCO-5ax–OH, “minor-TCO”) in Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (DBPS) at 37 °C.
