N-(2-Benzofuranylmethyl)-N'-[4-(2-fluoroethoxy)benzyl]piperazine (6, σ(1)K(i)=2.6 nM) was radiolabeled with fluorine-18 to provide a potential σ(1) receptor radioligand for use in positron emission tomography (PET). Radiofluorination of the appropriate tosylate precursor furnished [(18)F]6 with a specific activity of 45 GBq/μmol, in an average radiochemical yield of 18% and greater than 98% radiochemical purity. MicroPET imaging in Papio hamadryas baboon brain revealed [(18)F]6 uptake consistent with σ receptor distribution, and specificity for σ receptors was demonstrated in a haloperidol pre-treated animal. [(18)F]6 possesses suitable properties for PET imaging of σ(1) receptors, and further investigation of this σ(1) receptor tracer is warranted.
N-(2-苯并呋喃甲基)-N'-[4-(2-氟乙氧基)苄基]哌嗪(6,σ(1)K(i)=2.6 nM)被放射性标记氟-18,以提供一种潜在的用于正电子发射断层扫描(PET)的 σ(1)受体放射性配体。适当的 tosylate 前体的放射性氟化提供了 [(18)F]6,其比活度为 45 GBq/μmol,平均放射化学产率为 18%以上,放射化学纯度大于 98%。在 Papio hamadryas baboon 大脑中的 MicroPET 成像显示 [(18)F]6 的摄取与 σ 受体分布一致,并在氟哌啶醇预处理的动物中证明了对 σ 受体的特异性。[(18)F]6 具有用于 PET 成像 σ(1)受体的合适特性,进一步研究这种 σ(1)受体示踪剂是有必要的。
