A simple and efficient synthesis of nAChR antagonist (+/-)-7-methyl-2-exo-(3'-iodo-5'-pyridinyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]-heptane ((+/-)-NMI-EPB) has been developed. Both enantiomers of (+/-)-NMI-EPB were separated by semi-preparative chiral HPLC. The enantiomers manifested a substantial difference in their inhibition binding affinities ((+)-NMI-EPB, K(i)=2310, 1680 pM; (-)-NMI-EPB, K(i)=55, 68 pM). The enantiomers were stereoselectively radiolabeled with (11)C. In the distribution studies in the rodent brain (11)C-NMI-EPB specifically labeled nAChR whereas (11)C-NMI-EPB exhibited little specific binding. In the baboon PET study (11)C-NMI-EPB did not reach steady-state within 90 min post-injection suggesting that the radioligand may have some limitations for quantitative imaging.
已开发出一种简单有效的合成烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体拮抗剂(±)-7-甲基-2-外向-(3'-碘-5'-吡啶基)-7-氮杂双环[2.2.1]庚烷((±)-NMI-EPB)的方法。通过半制备手性高效液相色谱法分离了(±)-NMI-EPB的两种对映体。这些对映体在抑制结合亲和力方面表现出显著差异((+)-NMI-EPB,K(i)=2310、1680 pM;(-)-NMI-EPB,K(i)=55、68 pM)。这些对映体用(11)C进行了立体选择性放射性标记。在啮齿动物脑部分布研究中,[(11)C](-)-NMI-EPB特异性标记烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体,而[(11)C](+)-NMI-EPB几乎没有特异性结合。在狒狒正电子发射断层扫描研究中,[(11)C](-)-NMI-EPB在注射后90分钟内未达到稳态,这表明该放射性配体在定量成像方面可能存在一些局限性。
