Movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease are serious life-limiting and debilitating movement disorders. Their onset typically occurs from mid-life to late in life, and effective diagnostic techniques for detecting and following the disease course are lacking. Our goal is to develop receptor imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET) that selectively target the most relevant subtype of adenosine receptors (AR) that are highly expressed in the striatum, that is, the A(2A) AR. To further this goal, we have synthesized and characterized pharmacologically a family of high affinity A(2A) AR ligands, based on the known antagonist, SCH 442416 (R=-Me), which have structural variability on the terminus (R=-Et, -i-Pr, -allyl, and others). A O-fluoroethyl analogue suitable for use as a PET tracer had a K(i) value of 12.4 nM and was highly selective for the A(2A) AR in comparison to the A(1) and A(3) ARs.
运动障碍,如帕金森病和亨廷顿病,是严重的限制生命和使人衰弱的运动障碍。它们通常发生在从中年到晚年,缺乏有效的诊断技术来检测和跟踪疾病进程。我们的目标是开发用于正电子发射断层扫描(PET)的受体成像剂,这些成像剂选择性地靶向在纹状体中高度表达的最相关的腺苷受体(AR)亚型,即 A(2A)AR。为了进一步实现这一目标,我们已经合成并表征了一系列基于已知拮抗剂 SCH 442416(R=-Me)的高亲和力 A(2A)AR 配体,这些配体在末端具有结构可变性(R=-Et、-i-Pr、-allyl 等)。一种适合用作 PET 示踪剂的 O-氟乙基类似物对 A(2A)AR 的 K(i)值为 12.4 nM,与 A(1)和 A(3)AR 相比,对 A(2A)AR 具有高度选择性。
