The synthesis conditions of [18F]fallypride (Figure 3A) were adapted and further optimized from our previous work synthesizing this compound using EWOD chips 13 .
A [18F]fluoride stock solution was prepared by mixing [18F]fluoride/[18O]H2O (100 μL, ~370 MBq; ~10 mCi) with 75 mM TBAHCO3 solution (5 μL). Precursor stock solution was prepared by dissolving fallypride precursor (4 mg) in a mixture of MeCN and thexyl alcohol (1:1 v/v, 100 μL). A stock solution for dilution of the crude product prior to collection was prepared from a mixture of MeOH and DI water (9:1, v/v, 500 μL). These solutions were loaded into individual reagent vials connected to dispensers.
To perform the on-chip synthesis, a 2 μL droplet of [18F]fluoride solution (~7.4 MBq; ~0.2 mCi) was first loaded onto the chip and spontaneously transported to the reaction site. The microfluidic chip was heated to 105°C for 1 min to evaporate the solvent and leave a dried residue of the [18F]tetrabutylammonium fluoride ([18F]TBAF) complex at the reaction site. It was found that the typical azeotropic distillation process (i.e. addition and evaporation of MeCN) to remove residual moisture was not needed.
Next, a 1 μL droplet of fallypride precursor solution was deposited at another loading site and was spontaneously transported to the reaction site, where it dissolved the dried residue. Then, another 1 μL droplet of fallypride precursor solution was deposited and transported the same way. The chip was heated to 110°C and held for 7 min to accomplish the radiofluorination reaction. Then, ten 1 μL droplets of collection solution were sequentially deposited at a different reagent loading site and spontaneously moved to reaction site to dilute the resulting crude reaction mixture. Afterwards, the diluted droplet was transferred into the collection vial. The collection process was repeated 5x to minimize residue on the chip. A schematic of the on-chip process is shown in Figure 4.

The triphosphorylated RNA oligonucleotides SLR-14 (5′-pppGGAUCGAUCGAUCGUUCGCGAUCGAUCGAUCC-3′) and SLR-14-amino (5′-pppGGAUCGAUCGAUCGUXCGCGAUCGAUCGAUCC-3′, where X = aminomodifier C6dT; Glen Research), were prepared essentially as described (Mihaylova et al., 2018 (link)). Briefly, removal of the oligonucleotide from the polymer support and base deprotection was performed in a 1:1 mixture of 40% methylamine (Sigma-Aldrich) and 30% ammonium hydroxide (JT Baker) at 65°C for 15 min. The solution was cooled on ice for 10 min, transferred to a new vial, and evaporated to dryness. 500 µl of absolute ethanol was added, and the mixture was evaporated to dryness again. To deprotect the 2′-OH groups, the dry oligonucleotide was incubated with 500 µl of a 1 M solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (Sigma-Aldrich) at room temperature for 36 h. 500 µl of 2 M sodium acetate (pH 6.0) was added, and the solution was evaporated to a 500–600 µl volume, extracted with 3× 800 µl of ethyl acetate, and ethanol precipitated. The RNA oligonucleotide was then purified on a 16% denaturing polyacrylamide gel.
For fluorescent labeling, the purified SLR-14-amino oligonucleotide was dissolved in 200 µl of 0.25 M sodium bicarbonate buffer (pH 9.2). Then, a solution containing 0.5 mg of Alexa Fluor 647 NHS ester (Life Technologies Corp.) in 200 µl N,N-dimethylformamide was added, and the reaction mixture was incubated at room temperature for 2 h. The labeled oligonucleotide (SLR14-647) was ethanol precipitated and purified on a 20% denaturing polyacrylamide gel.

Standard RNA synthesis cycle: detritylation (120 s) with dichloroacetic acid/1,2‐dichloroethane (4:96); coupling (2.0 min) with phosphoramidites/acetonitrile (0.1 m) and benzylthiotetrazole/acetonitrile (0.3 m); capping (2×0.25 min, Cap A/Cap B=1:1) with Cap A: 4‐(dimethylamino)pyridine in acetonitrile (0.5 m) and Cap B: acetic anhydride/sym‐collidine/acetonitrile (2:3:5); oxidation (1.0 min) with iodine (20 mm) in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/pyridine/H2O (35:10:5). Commercially available modified nucleoside building blocks: 2′‐O‐methyl adenosine and 2′‐O‐methyl cytidine (ChemGenes Corporation), were incorporated using modified synthesis cycles with longer coupling times (6 min).
RNA phosphitylation, hydrolysis, oxidative amidation was performed in analogy to ref. 29a, while Gpp attachment was performed in analogy to ref. 29b. Construction of the triphosphate‐bridged inverted guanosine to the RNA on the solid phase involved four steps, all of them performed under argon atmosphere. RNA phosphitylation was carried out by applying 0.5 mL of phosphitylation solution (2 mL diphenylphosphite, 8 mL anhydrous pyridine) over 300 s. This treatment was repeated twice. After washing the beads with acetonitrile, hydrolysis was performed using 0.5 mL of hydrolysis solution (1.0 mL of 1 m aqueous triethylammonium bicarbonate, 5 mL water and 4 mL acetonitrile) over a period of 5 min. This treatment was repeated four times. The solid support was then rinsed with 20 mL of acetonitrile before being dried under vacuum for several hours. Oxidative amidation was done by incubation with 0.5 mL of a solution containing 600 mg imidazole, 2 mL N,O‐bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide, 4 mL anhydrous acetonitrile, 4 mL bromotrichloromethane and 0.4 mL trimethylamine for 30 min. This treatment was repeated four times. The solid support was intensively rinsed with dry acetonitrile. Finally, Gpp attachment was achieved by application of 0.5 mL of coupling solution (0.28 m guanosine 5′‐diphosphate di‐tributylammonium salt [preparation see above] in dry DMF, 500 mm zinc chloride) over 8 h at room temperature. This treatment was repeated three times.
Gppp‐capped RNA deprotection: The solid supports with the Gppp‐capped and otherwise fully protected oligos were rinsed with DBU in acetonitrile (6 mL; 1 m), then washed with acetonitrile and dried. Cleavage from the support and base deprotection was effected by treating the solid support with a 1:1 mixture of 40 % aqueous methylamine and 30 % aqueous ammonia (AMA) in a screw‐cap vial for 2 h at 40 °C. The resulting suspensions were filtered and the filtrates dried. Removal of 2′‐O silyl protecting groups was carried out with of 1 m tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate in THF (1 mL) for 6 h at 40 °C. The reaction was quenched by the addition of 1 m triethylammonium acetate solution (pH 7.4, 1 mL) and then concentrated to approximately 1 mL. This viscous solution was desalted by size exclusion chromatography on a HiPrep 26/10 Sephadex G25 column (GE Healthcare). The crude products were evaporated and re‐dissolved in water (1 mL). Quality assessment of the crude Gppp‐capped RNAs via anion‐exchange HPLC on a Dionex DNAPac PA‐100 column (4×250 mm); conditions: flow 1 mL min−1; eluent A: 25 mm Tris hydrochloride, 6 m urea, pH 8.0, eluent B: 500 mm sodium perchlorate, 25 mm Tris hydrochloride, 6 m urea, pH 8.0; gradient: 0–60 % B in 45 minutes; temperature: 40 °C, UV detection at 260 nm. The Gppp‐capped RNAs were isolated by anion‐exchange HPLC on a Dionex DNAPac PA‐100 column (4×250 mm); Conditions: flow 1 mL min−1; eluents: see above; temperature 40 °C; UV detection at 260 nm. The product fractions were diluted with an equal amount of triethylammonium bicarbonate buffer (100 mm, pH 7.4) and loaded onto equilibrated C18 Sep‐Pak (Waters Corporation). The cartridge was washed with water and the RNA was eluted with acetonitrile/water (1:1). All volatiles were evaporated and the residue re‐dissolved in water (1 mL). Yields were determined UV photometrically. The quality of the product was analyzed via anion‐exchange HPLC as described above and by reversed‐phase LC–ESI‐MS.
Enzymatic N7 methylation of Gppp‐RNA: The enzymatic transformation was conducted in analogy to refs. 31 and 32. In short, lyophilized Gppp‐RNA 10 (4 nmol) was dissolved in buffer (8.0 μL, 1.5 m NaCl, 200 mm Na2HPO4, pH 7.4) followed by the addition of an aqueous solution of S‐adenosylmethionine (2.0 μL, 12 nmol), and the addition of water to obtain a total volume of 68.8 μL. To the mixed solution, enzymes were added successively (1.6 μL of 50 μm MTAN, 1.6 μL of 50 μm LuxS, 8 μL of 50 μm Ecm1 (Figures S1 and S2 in the Supporting Information)). The mixture was incubated for 45 min at 37 °C. The solution was extracted twice with an equal volume of chloroform/isoamyl alcohol solution (24:1, v/v). The organic layers were rewashed twice with an equal volume of water. The aqueous layers were combined and lyophilized, to eliminate remaining organic solvents. Analysis of the methylation reaction and purification of the product was performed by anion‐exchange chromatography (conditions see above). The integrity of the product was confirmed by LC–ESI mass spectrometry (conditions see below).
Enzymatic ligation of cap‐4 RNA. The 38‐nt T. cruzi cap‐4 RNA was prepared by splinted enzymatic ligation of an 11‐nt cap‐4 RNA and a chemically synthesized 5′‐phosphorylated 27‐nt RNA by using T4 DNA ligase (Thermo Fisher) in analogy to ref. 34. Briefly, 10 μm of RNA fragment 10 (8 nmol), 12.5 μm of RNA fragment 11 (10 nmol), and 12.5 μm of a 20‐nt DNA splint oligonucleotide (IDT, 10 nmol) were heated at 70 °C for 2 min and passively cooled to room temperature. Afterward water was added up to a total volume of 560 μL before 10× ligation buffer (80 μL, Thermo Fisher) and PEG (80 μL, Thermo Fisher) was added. T4 DNA ligase (80 μL; Thermo Fisher, 5 U μL−1) was added to a final concentration of 0.5 U μL−1 in a total volume of 0.8 mL before the mixture was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C. Ligation was stopped by chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (24:1, v/v) extraction. After lyophilization and re‐dissolving, analysis of the ligation reaction and purification of the ligation products were performed by anion‐exchange chromatography (conditions see above). The integrity of product was confirmed by LC–ESI mass spectrometry (conditions see below).
Mass spectrometry of cap‐4 RNA. All experiments were performed on a Finnigan LCQ Advantage MAX ion trap instrument connected to a Thermo Fisher Ultimate 3000 system. RNA sequences were analyzed in negative‐ion mode with a potential of −4 kV applied to the spray needle. LC: sample (200 pmol RNA dissolved in 30 μL of 20 mm EDTA solution; average injection volume: 30 μL), column (Waters XTerraMS, C18 2.5 μm; 2.1×50 mm) at 21 °C; flow rate: 0.1 mL min−1; eluent A: Et3N (8.6 mm), 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoroisopropanol (100 mm) in H2O (pH 8.0); eluent B: MeOH; gradient: 0–100 % B in A within 20 min; UV detection at 254 nm.
