Abstract

19F-modified bithiazole correctors and phenylglycine potentiators of the ΔF508-CFTR chloride channel were synthesized and their function assayed in cells expressing human ΔF508-CFTR and a halide-sensitive fluorescent protein. Fluorine was incorporated into each scaffold using prosthetic groups for future biodistribution imaging studies using positron emission tomography (PET). The ΔF508-CFTR corrector and potentiator potencies of the ...
