Two novel small molecule gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonists (12 and 13) of the furamide-class were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their receptor binding affinities for the rat GnRH receptor. Radiolabeling with no carrier added fluorine-18 of the appropriate precursors was investigated in a one-step reaction. LogP (Octanol/PBS pH 7.4) and serum stability of the compounds were investigated. The antagonists showed low nM affinity for the rat GnRH receptor. (18)F-radiolabled compounds were obtained in high radiochemical purity (>95%) and specific activity (>75 GBq/μmol). These findings suggest this class of compounds holds promise as potential probes for PET targeting of GnRH-receptor expression.
合成了两种新型的呋酰胺类小分子促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)受体拮抗剂(12和13),并在体外评估了它们对大鼠GnRH受体的受体结合亲和力。研究了在一步反应中用无载体添加的氟-18对合适前体进行放射性标记。研究了化合物的LogP(辛醇/磷酸盐缓冲液pH 7.4)和血清稳定性。这些拮抗剂对大鼠GnRH受体显示出低纳摩尔亲和力。以高放射化学纯度(>95%)和比活度(>75 GBq/μmol)获得了(18)F放射性标记的化合物。这些发现表明这类化合物有望作为正电子发射断层扫描(PET)靶向GnRH受体表达的潜在探针。
