To develop and characterize a radiolabelled Substance-P antagonist useful for quantitation of neurokinin-1 receptors in the brain via PET imaging.
[18F]SPA-RQ (Substance-P antagonist - receptor quantifier) was synthesized in good yield and high specific activity by alkylation of a BOC protected phenolate anion using [18F]bromofluoromethane. Removal of the BOC protecting group with trifluoroacetic acid gave [18F]SPA-RQ.
SPA-RQ has high affinity for human, rhesus monkey and guinea pig NK1 receptors (h-IC50=67 pM) and has a log P value of 1.8. Biodistribution studies in guinea pig showed that this tracer penetrates the blood-brain barrier and selectively labels NK1 receptors in the striatum and cortex.
[18F]SPA-RQ is a potent, high affinity Substance-P antagonist that can be conveniently labeled with high specific activity using [18F]fluoromethylbromide. This tracer is a useful tool for noninvasive imaging of central NK1 receptors.
开发并表征一种放射性标记的P物质拮抗剂,用于通过正电子发射断层扫描(PET)成像定量脑内神经激肽-1(NK1)受体。
通过使用[18F]溴氟甲烷对BOC保护的酚盐阴离子进行烷基化反应,以良好的产率和高比活度合成了[18F]SPA-RQ(P物质拮抗剂-受体定量剂)。用三氟乙酸除去BOC保护基团得到[18F]SPA-RQ。
SPA-RQ对人、恒河猴和豚鼠的NK1受体具有高亲和力(h-IC50 = 67 pM),log P值为1.8。豚鼠体内的生物分布研究表明,该示踪剂可穿透血脑屏障,并选择性地标记纹状体和皮质中的NK1受体。
[18F]SPA-RQ是一种强效、高亲和力的P物质拮抗剂,可使用[18F]氟甲基溴方便地进行高比活度标记。该示踪剂是用于中枢NK1受体无创成像的有用工具。
