Radiosynthesis of carbon-11 labelled N-methyl-2-(arylthio)benzylamines: potential radiotracers for the serotonin reuptake receptor
摘要:
The potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, N,N-dimethyl-2-(2-amino-4-trifluoromethylphenylthio)benzylamine (1), and a potential metabolite, N-methyl-2-(2-amino-4-trifluoromethylphenythio)benzylamine (2) were radiolabelled with Carbon-11 as potential positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers. Both [C-11]-(1) and [C-11]-(2) were obtained in good radiochemical yield by alkylation of their respective normethyl precursors with [C-11]-iodomethane in dimethylformamide. Upon HPLC. purification and formulation radiochemically pure products were obtained in 25-30% yield (from [C-11]-iodomethane, uncorrected) with specific activities of 25-40 GBq/mole. To further establish the site of labeling, [C-13]-(1) and [C-13]-(2) were also synthesised, using [C-13] iodomethane, for C-13 NMR analysis. Preliminary biodistribution studies in rats show that both [C-11]-(1) and [C-11]-(2) efficiently and rapidly cross the blood brain barrier.
