Radiolabeled 4-isopropylantipyrine (1) has been synthesized and evaluated as a tracer for the measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF). Methylation of 4-isopropyl-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one (2) with [14C]methyl iodide in acetonitrile gave [14C]-1 in radiochemical yields of 10-20%. Its blood-brain partition coefficient in rats was determined to be 0.62 +/- 0.03 (mean +/- SE). Autoradiographic determination of regional cerebral blood flow under normal flow conditions indicated that [14 C]-1 gives results essentially identical with those obtained with the widely used tracer [14C]-4-iodoantipyrine ( [14C]-IAP). Studies performed in high-flow states indicated that [14C]-1 is not more diffusion limited than [14C]-IAP. A rapid synthesis was therefore developed for the preparation of [11C]-1. Radiochemical yields were increased to 40-50% when the alkylation of 2 with [11C]methyl iodide was performed in dimethyl sulfoxide using solid potassium hydroxide as a base. Since the 11C-labeled compound can easily be produced in large quantities and since the tracer is not diffusion limited at flow rates commonly observed in normal and most pathological states in man, [11C]-4-isopropylantipyrine will be used for in vivo studies of CBF using positron emission tomography. 相似文献

New positron emission tomography tracer [(11)C]carvedilol reveals P-glycoprotein modulation kinetics

Imaging of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) may support development of strategies, which will improve drug delivery to the brain. [(11)C]verapamil has been developed as a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer, to image P-gp function in vivo. Ideally, for the purpose of brain imaging, tracers should have a log P between 0.9 and 2.5. The beta-receptor antagonist carvedilol is a P-gp substrate with a log P=2.0, and can be labeled with [(11)C]. The aim of this study was to determine whether the P-gp substrate [(11)C]carvedilol can be used as a PET tracer for visualisation and quantification of the P-gp function in the BBB. Cellular [(11)C]carvedilol accumulation in GLC(4), GLC(4)/P-gp, and GLC(4)/Adr cells increased three-fold in the GLC(4)/P-gp cells after pretreatment with cyclosporin A (CsA) whereas no effect of MK571 could be determined in the GLC(4)/Adr cells. Ex vivo [(11)C]carvedilol biodistribution studies showed that [(11)C]carvedilol uptake in the brain was increased by CsA. [(11)C]carvedilol uptake in other organs was not affected by CsA. Autoradiography studies of rat brains showed that [(11)C]carvedilol was homogeneously distributed over the brain and that pretreatment with CsA increased [(11)C]carvedilol uptake. In vivo PET experiments were performed with and without P-gp modulation by CsA. P-gp mediated transport was quantified by Logan analysis of the PET data, calculating the distribution volume (DV) of [(11)C]carvedilol in the brain. Logan analysis resulted in excellent fits, revealing that [(11)C]carvedilol is not trapped in the brain. Brain DV of [(11)C]carvedilol showed a dose-dependent increase of maximal three-fold after CsA pretreatment. Above 15 mg kg(-1), no change in DV was found. Compared to [(11)C]verapamil less CsA was needed to reach maximal DV, suggesting that [(11)C]carvedilol kinetics is a more sensitive tool to in vivo measure P-gp function. 相似文献

The highly potent serotonin (5-HT) uptake blocker, McN-5652-Z (trans-1,2,3,5,6,10b - hexahydro - 6 - [4 - (methylthio)phenyl] pyrrolo - [2,1-a]-isoquinoline) was labeled with 11C for studying serotonin uptake sites using positron emission tomography (PET). [11C]McN-5652-Z was synthesized by S-methylation of the normethyl precursor with [11C]iodomethane in DMF at 30 - 35° C. The radiosyntheses including purification by HPLC and formulation for injection were completed in an average of 16 minutes following the end of bombardment (E.O.B.) with an overall radiochemical yield of 12%. The average specific activity determined at the end of synthesis (E.O.S.) was approximately 4250 mCi/μmole; this corresponds to approximately 7350 mCi/μmole at E.O.B. [11C]McN-5655-Z, a less potent blocker, was also prepared by the same procedure. 相似文献

Herein we report an efficient radiolabeling of a 18F-fluorinated derivative of dual inhibitor GW2580, with its subsequent evaluation as a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer candidate for imaging of two neuroreceptor targets implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration: tropomyosin receptor kinases (TrkB/C) and colony stimulating factor receptor (CSF-1R). [18F]FOMPyD was synthesized from a boronic acid pinacolate precursor via copper-mediated 18F-fluorination concerted with thermal deprotection of the four Boc groups on a diaminopyrimidine moiety in an 8.7±2.8% radiochemical yield, a radiochemical purity >99%, and an effective molar activity of 187±93 GBq/μmol. [18F]FOMPyD showed moderate brain permeability in wild-type rats (SUVmax = 0.75) and a slow washout rate. The brain uptake was partially reduced (ΔAUC40–90 = 11.6%) by administration of the nonradioactive FOMPyD (up to 30 μg/kg). In autoradiography, [18F]FOMPyD exhibits ubiquitous distribution in rat and human brain tissues with relatively high nonspecific binding revealed by self-blocking experiment. The binding was blocked by TrkB/C inhibitors, but not with a CSF-1R inhibitor, suggesting selective binding to the former receptor. Although an unfavorable pharmacokinetic profile will likely preclude application of [18F]FOMPyD as a PET tracer for brain imaging, the concomitant one-pot copper-mediated 18F-fluorination/Boc-deprotection is a practical technique for the automated radiosynthesis of acid-sensitive PET tracers. 相似文献

The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is widely expressed in peripheral tissues, blood cells, and in glia cells in the brain. We have previously developed two positron emission tomography (PET) ligands, N-(2-[(11)C],5-dimethoxybenzyl)-N-(5-fluoro-2-phenoxyphenyl)acetamide ([(11)C]2) and its [(18)F]fluoroethyl analogue ([(18)F]6), for the current investigation of PBR in the human brain. The aim of this study was to label the potent PBR agonist N-(4-chloro-2-phenoxyphenyl)-N-(isopropoxybenzyl)acetamide (3) and its ethyl (7) and methyl (8) homologues with (11)C and to evaluate them as PET ligands for PBR with mice, rats, and monkeys. Ligands [(11)C]3, [(11)C]7, and [(11)C]8 were synthesized by alkylation of phenol precursor 9 with 2-[2-(11)C]iodopropane ([(11)C]10), [1-(11)C]iodoethane ([(11)C]11), and [(11)C]iodomethane ([(11)C]12), respectively. The alkylating agent [(11)C]10 or [(11)C]11 was prepared by reacting CH(3)MgBr with [(11)C]CO(2), followed by reduction with LiAlH(4) and iodination with HI. In vitro quantitative autoradiography determined that 3, 7, and 8 had potent binding affinities (K(i) = 0.07-0.19 nM) for PBR in the rat brain. These [(11)C]ligands could pass across the blood-brain barrier and enter the rat brain (0.17-0.32% of injected dose per gram wet tissue). Ex vivo autoradiography showed that the [(11)C]ligands preferably distributed in the olfactory bulb and cerebellum, two regions with richer PBR density in the rat brain. The co-injection of PBR-selective 2 reduced the [(11)C]ligand binding in the two regions, suggesting that binding in the rat brain was specific to PBR. PET study determined that the [(11)C]ligands preferably accumulate in the occipital cortex of the monkey brain, a region with a high density of PBR in the primate brain. Moreover, in vivo binding of the methyl homologue [(11)C]8 in the monkey brain could be inhibited by PBR-selective 2 or 1, indicating that some of the [(11)C]8 binding was due to PBR. Metabolite analysis demonstrated that these [(11)C]ligands were metabolized by debenzylation to polar products mainly in the plasma. 相似文献

Rationale Many actions of antidepressant drugs cannot yet be studied using positron emission tomography (PET) neuroimaging due to lack of suitable radioligands. We believe that mirtazapine, radiolabeled with C-11, might be suitable for PET neuroimaging of 2-adrenoceptors in selected regions of the living human brain.Objective To determine the regional central biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of [N-methyl-11C]mirtazapine in humans.Methods Five healthy volunteers received an intravenous injection of [N-methyl-11C]mirtazapine for evaluating its metabolism, biodistribution and pharmacokinetics.Results [N-methyl-11C]Mirtazapine entered the brain readily, with initial clearance from blood to tissue (K1) ranging from 0.31 ml/ml/min in amygdala to 0.54 ml/ml/min in thalamus. The rate of metabolism of [N-methyl-11C]mirtazapine in the bloodstream was relatively slow, with 20–40% of [11C]-derived radioactivity still present as parent compound at 60 min post-injection. The clearance of [N-methyl-11C]mirtazapine from the tissue compartment (k2) ranged from a low of 0.03 min–1 in amygdala to a high of 0.06–0.07 min–1 in thalamus and cerebellum. The volume of distribution (Ve) of [N-methyl-11C]mirtazapine was markedly greater in hippocampus and amygdala (11.3–12.0) than in cerebellum (6.7), with intermediate levels in the thalamus (9.4).Conclusions [N-methyl-11C]Mirtazapine has suitable properties for PET neuroimaging. We envision [N-methyl-11C]mirtazapine as a molecular probe for PET imaging of antidepressant actions at sites such as 2-adrenoceptors in the living human brain. 相似文献

A model palladium‐mediated carbonylation reaction synthesizing N‐benzylbenzamide from iodobenzene and benzylamine was used to investigate the potential of four N‐heterocyclic carbenes (N,N′‐bis(diisopropylphenyl)‐4,5‐dihydroimidazolinium chloride ( I ), N,N′‐bis(1‐mesityl)‐4,5‐dihydroimidazolinium chloride ( II ), N,N′‐bis(1‐mesityl)imidazolium chloride ( III ) and N,N′‐bis(1‐adamantyl)imidazolium chloride ( IV )) to act as supporting ligands in combination with Pd2(dba)3. Their activities were compared with other Pd‐diphosphine complexes after reaction times of 10 and 120 min. Pd2(dba)3 and III were the best performing after 10 min reaction (20%) and was used to synthesize radiolabelled [11C]N‐benzylbenzamide in good radiochemical yield (55%) and excellent radiochemical purity (99%). A Cu(Tp*) complex was used to trap the typically unreactive and insoluble [11C]CO which was then released and reacted via the Pd‐mediated carbonylation process. Potentially useful side products [11C]N,N′‐dibenzylurea and [11C]benzoic acid were also observed. Increased amounts of [11C]N,N′‐dibenzylurea were yielded when PdCl2 was the Pd precursor. Reduced yields of [11C]benzoic acid and therefore improved RCP were seen for III /Pd2(dba)3 over commonly used dppp/Pd2(dba)3 making it more favourable in this case.

An automated radiosynthesis of carbon-11 positron emission tomography radiotracer [11C]UCB-J for imaging the synaptic density biomarker synaptic vesicle glycoprotein SV2A was established using Synthra RNPlus synthesizer. Commercially available trifluoroborate UCB-J analogue was used as a radiolabelling precursor, and the desired radiolabelled product was isolated in 11 ± 2% (n = 7) nondecay corrected radiochemical yield and formulated as a 10% EtOH solution in saline with molar activities of 20 to 100 GBq/μmol. The method was based upon the palladium(0)-mediated Suzuki cross-coupling reaction and [11C]CH3I as a radiolabelling synthon. The isolated product was cGMP compliant as demonstrated by the results of quality control analysis. 相似文献

Background
The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) plays a critical role in the regulation of serotonin neurotransmission and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of major depression. In a previous positron emission tomography study, we found no difference in brain 5-HTT binding between unmedicated recovered depressed patients and healthy controls.Aim
This study aims to assess brain 5-HTT binding in a group of unmedicated acutely depressed patients in comparison to healthy controls.Methods
We studied 5-HTT binding using [11C]DASB in conjunction with positron emission tomography in 12 medication-free depressed patients with a mean duration of illness of about 1?year and 24 healthy controls.Results
The depressed patients had lowered 5-HTT binding in several brain regions including brain stem, thalamus, caudate, putamen, anterior cingulate cortex and frontal cortex.Conclusions
These results suggest that diminished availability of the 5-HTT in the brain may be a state marker of acute depression. Alternatively, low 5-HTT binding may delineate a group of depressed patients with a poor long-term prognosis. 相似文献11.

We have synthesized N‐(3‐chloro‐4‐fluorophenyl)‐7‐[11C]methoxy‐6‐[3‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)propoxy]quinazolin‐4‐amine, [11C]gefitinib ([11C]Iressa), a high affinity (IC50 = 2 nM) inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR‐TK), in solution and in a semi‐automated stainless loop methylation system using [11C]methyl triflate. The trapping efficiency for [11C]methyl triflate in solution was higher than in the solvent film generated in the loop system, thus the overall radiochemical yield was considerably higher for the synthesis in solution. The average radiochemical yield for the solution chemistry was 15% with an average specific radioactivity of approximately 9000 mCi/µmole at EOS in one step from its corresponding desmethyl phenol precursor.

A series of fluorinated chromone analogs with IC50 values ranging from 9 to 133 nM for the mitochondrial complex 1 (MC-I) has been prepared. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of the most potent fluorinated chromone analog 10 demonstrated the linkage heteroatom preference of the side chain region of the molecule while maintaining potent MC-I inhibitory activity. Tissue distribution studies 30 min after [(18)F]10 administration to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats demonstrated high uptake of the radiotracer from the blood pool into the myocardium (2.24% ID/g), kidney (1.93% ID/g), and liver (2.00% ID/g). After 2 h about 66% of the activity in the myocardium at 30 min had been retained, whereas approximately 70% had been cleared from the liver and kidney. MicroPET images of SD rats after [(18)F]10 administration allowed easy assessment of the myocardium through 60 min with minimal lung or liver interference. 相似文献

Background Postmortem and positron emission tomography (PET) studies have reported several alterations in serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT1A) binding parameters in patients with schizophrenia. This study examines 5-HT1A availability in vivo in individuals with schizophrenia and schizo-affective disorder.Materials and methods Twenty-two medication-free individuals with schizophrenia or schizo-affective disorder and 18 healthy subjects underwent PET scans with [11C]WAY 100635. Regional distribution volumes (V
T, in milliliters per gram) were derived using a two-tissue compartment kinetic model. Outcome measures for 5-HT1A availability included binding potential (BP) and the specific to nonspecific equilibrium partition coefficient (V
3″). Eleven brain regions with high density of 5-HT1A were included in the analysis.Results No significant differences were observed in regional BP or V
3″ between patients and controls. No significant relationships were observed between regional 5-HT1A availability and symptom severity.Conclusion The postmortem literature reports increased 5-HT1A binding in the prefrontal cortex in schizophrenia. This study did not detect differences in 5-HT1A binding. Whereas in two recently published PET studies, one reports increased binding in the temporal lobe while the other reports decreased binding in the amygdala. These inconsistencies suggest that the alterations demonstrated in postmortem studies cannot be reliably detected at the resolution achieved with PET. This raises the question as to whether major changes in the level of expression of the 5-HT1A receptor play a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.Dr. Lombardo participated in this work while at Columbia University but subsequently has moved to Pfizer Inc., 235 east 42nd Street MS 10/33, New York, NY 10017, USA. 相似文献

( R)-(-)- and ( S)-(+)-1-(1-[ (11)C]methyl-1 H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethanone 4 and 5 were synthesized, and their properties as tracers for positron emission tomography (PET) studies of monoamine oxidase type A (MAO-A) in the brain of living pigs were tested. Parametric maps of the distribution volume ( V d) 4 in pig brain were qualitatively similar to those obtained with [ (11)C]harmine, with prominent binding in the ventral forebrain and mesencephalon. Its binding was highly vulnerable to MAO blockade, suggesting a binding potential as high as 2 for MAO-A sites. The slow plasma metabolism of 4 and 5 may present advantages over [ (11)C]harmine for routine PET studies of MAO-A. 相似文献

The novel 2‐mercaptoimidazole derivatives, 1‐[4‐((2‐methoxyphenyl)‐1‐piperazinyl)butyl]‐2‐mercaptoimidazole ( 3 ) and methyl[4‐((2‐methoxyphenyl)‐1‐piperazinyl))butyl] (2‐mercapto‐1‐methylimidazol‐5‐yl)methanamide ( 8 ), were efficiently labelled with 11C through methylation of the thioketone function with [11C]methyl iodide. The resulting radioligands 1‐[4‐((2‐methoxyphenyl)‐1‐piperazinyl))butyl]‐2‐thio[11C]methylimidazole ([11C] 9 ) and methyl[4‐((2‐methoxyphenyl)‐1‐piperazinyl))butyl] (2‐thio[11C]methyl‐1‐methylimidazol‐5‐yl)‐methanamide ([11C] 10 ) were synthesized in radiochemical yields of 20–30% (decay‐corrected, related to [11C]CO2) at a specific radioactivity of 0.2–0.4 Ci/µmol within 40–45 min including HPLC‐purification. The radiochemical purity exceeded 99%. The reference compounds 9 and 10 were tested in a competitive receptor binding assay to determine their affinity toward the 5‐HT1A receptor. Both compounds exhibit excellent sub‐nanomolar affinities (IC50=0.576±0.008 nM ( 9 ); IC50=0.86±0.02 nM ( 10 )) for the 5‐HT1A receptor while displaying a high selectivity towards the 5‐HT2A subtype of receptors (IC50>480 nM). By contrast, compound 9 also shows substantial binding for the alpha1‐adrenergic receptor (IC50=3.00±0.02 nM) when compared with compound 10 (IC50=54.5±0.6 nM). Preliminary biodistribution studies in rats showed an initial brain uptake of 1.14±0.11 and 0.37±0.04% ID/g after 5 min, which decreased to 0.18±0.04 and 0.16±0.01% ID/g after 60 min for compounds [11C] 9 and [11C] 10 , respectively. For both compounds, the cerebellum and rest of the brain uptake are very similar at the different time points. Unlike [11C] 9 , the radioligand [11C] 10 has significant uptake and retention in the adrenal glands. Due to their washout from the brain compounds [11C] 9 and [11C] 10 seem not to be good candidates as radioligands for imaging 5‐HT1A receptors by PET. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Positron emission tomography has increased the demand for new carbon‐11 radiolabeled tracers and building blocks. A promising radiolabeling synthon is [11C]benzyl iodide ([11C]BnI), because the benzyl group is a widely present functionality in biologically active compounds. Unfortunately, synthesis of [11C]BnI has received little attention, resulting in limited application. Therefore, we investigated the synthesis in order to significantly improve, automate, and apply it for labeling of the dopamine D2 antagonist [11C]clebopride as a proof of concept. [11C]BnI was synthesized from [11C]CO2 via a Grignard reaction and purified prior the reaction with desbenzyl clebopride. According to a one‐pot procedure, [11C]BnI was synthesized in 11 min from [11C]CO2 with high yield, purity, and specific activity, 52 ± 3% (end of the cyclotron bombardment), 95 ± 3%, and 123 ± 17 GBq/µmol (end of the synthesis), respectively. Changes in the [11C]BnI synthesis are reduced amounts of reagents, a lower temperature in the Grignard reaction, and the introduction of a solid‐phase intermediate purification. [11C]Clebopride was synthesized within 28 min from [11C]CO2 in an isolated decay‐corrected yield of 11 ± 3% (end of the cyclotron bombardment) with a purity of >98% and specific activity (SA) of 54 ± 4 GBq/µmol (n = 3) at the end of the synthesis. Conversion of [11C]BnI to product was 82 ± 11%. The reliable synthesis of [11C]BnI allows the broad application of this synthon in positron emission tomography radiopharmaceutical development.

Sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) overexpression in the central nervous system is a potential biomarker for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of brain damage and recovery. VU0071063, a selective ligand of SUR1 able to cross the blood–brain barrier, was isotopically radiolabeled with carbon-11 from a desmethyl precursor obtained quantitatively in one step. Ready-to-inject [11C]VU0071063 was obtained in 18 ± 2% radiochemical yield and 103 ± 22 GBq/μmol molar activity. PET imaging in healthy rats demonstrated a significant brain penetration and rapid elimination of the tracer in vivo, encouraging further investigation in animal models of SUR1 overexpression. 相似文献

The substance P/neurokinin 1 (SP/NK1) system has been implicated in the processing of negative affect. Its role seems complex and findings from animal studies have not been easily translated to humans. Brain imaging studies on NK1 receptor distribution in humans have revealed an abundance of receptors in cortical, striatal and subcortical areas, including the amygdala. A reduction in NK1 receptors with increasing age has been reported in frontal, temporal, and parietal cortices, as well as in hippocampal areas. Also, a previous study suggests sex differences in cortical and subcortical areas, with women displaying fewer NK1 receptors. The present PET study explored NK1 receptor availability in men (n=9) and women (n=9) matched for age varying between 20 and 50years using the highly specific NK1 receptor antagonist [(11)C]GR205171 and a reference tissue model with cerebellum as the reference region. Age by sex interactions in the amygdala and the temporal cortex reflected a lower NK1 receptor availability with increasing age in men, but not in women. A general age-related decline in NK1 receptor availability was evident in the frontal, temporal, and occipital cortices, as well as in the brainstem, caudate nucleus, and thalamus. Women had lower NK1 receptor availability in the thalamus. The observed pattern of NK1 receptor distribution in the brain might have functional significance for brain-related disorders showing age- and sex-related differences in prevalence. 相似文献

We have previously reported that repeated dosing with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) citalopram decreases striatal [11C]raclopride binding in healthy volunteers. As the SSRI-class antidepressant drugs are believed to have a similar mechanism of action, we wanted to explore whether the prototype SSRI drug, fluoxetine, shares the effects of citalopram on subcortical dopamine neurotransmission. Eight healthy male volunteers were studied using a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study design. Striatal and thalamic D2-receptor binding was measured at baseline, after a single oral dose (20 mg) of fluoxetine, and after repeated dosing (2 wk, 20 mg/d). The D2-receptor binding potential (BP) was assessed using [11C]raclopride and 3D positron emission tomography. Repeated dosing of fluoxetine decreased BP in the right medial thalamus (p=0.022). Fluoxetine did not decrease striatal BP, but there was a trend (p=0.090) towards increased BP in the left putamen after repeated dosing. A single dose of fluoxetine did not affect BP in the thalamus or striatum. Fluoxetine appears to have a regionally selective effect on the dopaminergic neurotransmission in various areas of the brain. The current results after fluoxetine together with our previous data on citalopram suggest that the modulatory effects of these drugs on striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission are different upon repeated dosing and further substantiates pharmacological differences between SSRI-class drugs. 相似文献

As a serine hydrolase, monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is principally responsible for the metabolism of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in the central nervous system (CNS), leading to the formation of arachidonic acid (AA). Dysfunction of MAGL has been associated with multiple CNS disorders and symptoms, including neuroinflammation, cognitive impairment, epileptogenesis, nociception and neurodegenerative diseases. Inhibition of MAGL provides a promising therapeutic direction for the treatment of these conditions, and a MAGL positron emission tomography (PET) probe would greatly facilitate preclinical and clinical development of MAGL inhibitors. Herein, we design and synthesize a small library of fluoropyridyl-containing MAGL inhibitor candidates. Pharmacological evaluation of these candidates by activity-based protein profiling identified 14 as a lead compound, which was then radiolabeled with fluorine-18 via a facile SNAr reaction to form 2-[18F]fluoropyridine scaffold. Good blood–brain barrier permeability and high in vivo specific binding was demonstrated for radioligand [18F]14 (also named as [18F]MAGL-1902). This work may serve as a roadmap for clinical translation and further design of potent 18F-labeled MAGL PET tracers.KEY WORDS: Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), Central nervous system (CNS), 2-Arachidonylglycerol (2-AG), Arachidonic acid (AA), Positron emission tomography (PET), Fluorine-18 相似文献
