Metal Complexes with Tripodal and Chelating Thiourea Ligands towards Nuclear Medical Imaging Inaugural-Dissertation to obtain the academic degree Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) submitted to the Department of Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy of Freie Universität Berlin by Anna Charlott Grunwald Berlin, December 2020 ii This thesis was done in the period between April 2017 and December 2020 in the research group of Prof. Dr. Ulrich Abram at the Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Hereby, I confirm that I wrote the thesis independently. It was independently done without the help of other sources than the ones cited and acknowledged and it was not submitted to any prior doctoral procedure. 1. Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Abram 2. Supervisor: Dr. Leif Schröder Date of defence: 31.03.2021 iii iv Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank my doctoral supervisor Prof. Dr. Ulrich Abram for his great support during the development of my research projects. He gave me his valuable advice on many occasions and therefore, I am deeply grateful. My special thanks go to Dr. Leif Schröder for the willingness to be the second reviewer of my thesis. I very appreciate the great patience of Dr. Adelheid Hagenbach for the measurement and refinement of my crystals and her steady helpfulness throughout these years. I am particularly grateful for the friendly assistance of Prof. Dr. Roger Alberto and Dr. Henrik Braband who hosted me during my stays at the University of Zurich and who gave me scientific advices for the research with 99mTc. I would like to show my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Winfried Brenner and Dr. Nicola Beindorff from the Charité Berlin who gave me the chance to realise in vivo experiments. A special thanks goes to Dr. Sarah Spreckelmeyer for her support during the whole extensive preparations and all her effort she put in this project. Matthias Balzer and Fabian Schmitz-Peiffer, I thank you for the implementation of the experiments. Dr. Dorian Mikolajczak is thanked for introducing me into the interesting field of peptide chemistry on a resin. The synthesis of the small bioconjugate has been made possible with your support. I also want to thank Dr. Lukas Greifenstein for the synthesis of the bisphosphonate bioconjugate and Dipl. Ing. Chem. Stephan Maus for the help with the 99mTc reactions at the Universitätsklinikum Mainz. I appreciate the very warmly welcome of Prof. Ernesto Schulz-Lang from the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. For me, this research stay in Brasil was a genuinely nice experience. I thank Dr. Camila Nunes Cechin for hosting me during this time and her friendship. I won´t forget you, don´t worry. I thank the former and current group members of the AG Abram for the amazing time. You helped me a lot in the lab, with technical problems and answering all my questions concerning chemistry. It has been a cooperative and friendly working atmosphere. I thank my students Alexandra Tsouka, Selina Heß, Yifu Wang and Sinem Özcirpan for their interest and support to my research. This work could not have been possible without the financial support of the Graduate School “BIOQIC”. Finally, I really appreciate the everlasting support of my family and friends. You give me the needed power of endurance, happiness and love to my life. v vi Table of Contents 1 Introduction
