N′-3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl Derivatives of N-Aryl-N′-methylguanidines as Prospective PET Radioligands for the Open Channel of the N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) Receptor: Synthesis and Structure–Affinity Relationships
摘要:
N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor dysfunction has been linked to several neuropsychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, drug addiction, and schizophrenia. A radioligand that could be used with PET to image and quantify human brain. NMDA receptors in the activated "open channel" state would be useful for research on such disorders and for the development of novel therapies,: To date, no radioligands have Shown well-validated efficacy for imaging NMDA receptors in human subjects. In order to discover improved radioligands for PET imaging, we explored structure affinity relationships in N'-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl derivatives of N-aryl-N'-methylguanidines, seeking high affinity and moderate lipophilicity, plus necessary amenability for labeling with a positron-emitter, either carbon-11 or fluorine-18. Among a diverse set of 80 prepared N'-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl derivatives, four of these compounds (13, 19, 20, and 36) displayed desirable low nanomolar affinity for inhibition of [H-3](+)-MK801 at the PCP binding site and are of interest for candidate PET radioligand development.

Two S-[18F]fluoroalkylated diarylguanidines were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as potential tracers for imaging of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) with positron emission tomography (PET). [18F]1 and [18F]10 were synthesized by [18F]fluoroethylation and [18F]fluoromethylation of the thiol precursor 6, respectively. [18F]1 is a promising candidate NMDAR PET tracer, with low nanomolar affinity
