The radiosynthesis and in vivo evaluation of 5-(5-(6-[(11)C]methyl-3,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-3-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-1H-indole [(11)C]rac-(1), a potential PET tracer for α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7-nAChR), are described. Syntheses of the nonradioactive standard rac-1 and corresponding desmethyl precursor 7 were achieved in several reaction steps. Radiomethylation of 7 with [(11)C]CH(3)I afforded [(11)C]rac-1 in an average radiochemical yield of 30 ± 5% (n=5) with high radiochemical purity and an average specific radioactivity of 444 ± 74 GBq/μmol (n=5). The total synthesis time was 30 min from end-of-bombardment. Biodistribution studies in mice showed that [(11)C]rac-1 penetrates the blood-brain barrier and specifically labels neuronal α7-nAChRs.
5-(5-(6-[(11)C]甲基-3,6-二氮杂双环[3.2.0]庚烷-3-基)吡啶-2-基)-1H-吲哚 [(11)C]rac-(1) 的放射性合成和体内评价,一种潜在的用于 α7 烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体 (α7-nAChR) 的 PET 示踪剂,被描述。非放射性标准 rac-1 和相应的去甲基前体 7 的合成通过几个反应步骤实现。7 与 [(11)C]CH(3)I 的放射性甲基化以 30 ± 5%(n=5)的平均放射化学产率得到 [(11)C]rac-1,具有高放射化学纯度和 444 ± 74 GBq/μmol(n=5)的平均比放射性。从结束轰炸到总合成时间为 30 分钟。在小鼠中的生物分布研究表明,[(11)C]rac-1 穿透血脑屏障并特异性标记神经元 α7-nAChR。
