11C-labeling and preliminary evaluation of vortioxetine as a PET radioligand
摘要:
Vortioxetine is a new multi-modal drug against major depressive disorder with high affinity for a range of different serotonergic targets in the CNS. We report the C-11-labeling of vortioxetine with [C-11] MeI using a Suzuki-protocol that allows for the presence of an unprotected amine. Preliminary evaluation of [C-11] vortioxetine in a Danish Landrace pig showed rapid brain uptake and brain distribution in accordance with the pharmacological profile, all though an unexpected high binding in cerebellum was also observed. [C-11] vortioxetine displayed slow tracer kinetics with peak uptake after 60 min and with limited wash-out from the brain. Further studies are needed but this radioligand may prove to be a valuable tool in unraveling the clinical effects of vortioxetine. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis of ortho-Haloaminoarenes by Aryne Insertion of Nitrogen–Halide Bonds
摘要:
A rapid and general access to ortho-haloaminoarenes has been developed by aryne insertion into N-chloramine, N-bromoamine, and N-iodoamine bonds via two complementary protocols harnessing fluoride-promoted 1,2-elimination of ortho-trimethylsilyl aryltriflates. Typically, electron-deficient N-chloramines effectively react with aryne intermediates generated at elevated temperature with CsF, while less stable N-haloamines are found more efficient under milder, TBAF-mediated aryne formation at room temperature. Both protocols demonstrate a good level of regioselectivity and functional group tolerance. Efforts to elucidate the mechanism of NX insertion are also discussed. The practical value of this transformation is highlighted by rapid synthesis of novel analogues of the antipsychotic cariprazine.

Redox-active benzimidazolium sulfonamides as thiolating reagents have been developed for reductive C–S bond coupling. The IMDN-SO2R reagent provides a bench-stable cationic precursor to generate a portfolio of highly active N–S intermediates, which can be successfully applied in cross-electrophilic coupling with various organic halides. The employment of an electrophilic sulfur source solved the problem
