Despite the broad implications of the cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2) in neuroinflammatory processes, a suitable CB2-targeted probe is currently lacking in clinical routine. In this work, we synthesized 15 fluorinated pyridine derivatives and tested their binding affinities toward CB2 and CB1. With a sub-nanomolar affinity ( for CB2) of 0.8 nM and a remarkable selectivity factor of >12,000 over CB1, RoSMA-18- exhibited outstanding performance characteristics and was radiofluorinated with an average radiochemical yield of 10.6 ± 3.8% ( = 16) and molar activities ranging from 52 to 65 GBq/μmol (radiochemical purity > 99%). [F]RoSMA-18- showed exceptional CB2 attributes as demonstrated by autoradiography, biodistribution, and positron emission tomography (PET). Further, [F]RoSMA-18- was used to detect CB2 upregulation on postmortem human ALS spinal cord tissues. Overall, these results suggest that [F]RoSMA-18- is a promising CB2 PET radioligand for clinical translation.
尽管大麻素类型 2 受体 (CB2) 在神经炎症过程中具有广泛的意义,但目前在临床常规中缺乏合适的 CB2 靶向探针。在这项工作中,我们合成了 15 个氟代吡啶衍生物,并测试了它们对 CB2 和 CB1 的结合亲和力。RoSMA-18 对 CB2 的亲和力(sub-nanomolar affinity)为 0.8 nM,对 CB1 的选择性因子(selectivity factor)超过 12,000,表现出出色的性能特征,并以平均放射性化学产率 10.6 ± 3.8%(n = 16)和摩尔活度为 52 至 65 GBq/μmol(放射化学纯度 > 99%)进行放射性标记。[F]RoSMA-18 的放射性自显影、生物分布和正电子发射断层扫描(PET)显示了其出色的 CB2 属性。此外,[F]RoSMA-18 还用于检测人死后 ALS 脊髓组织中 CB2 的上调。总的来说,这些结果表明[F]RoSMA-18 是一种有前途的用于临床转化的 CB2 PET 放射性配体。
