DPA-C5yne, the lead compound of a novel series of DPA-714 derivatives in which the fluoroethoxy chain linked to the phenylpyrazolopyrimidine scaffold has been replaced by a fluoroalkyn-1-yl moiety, is a high affinity (Ki: 0.35 nM) and selective ligand targeting the translocator protein 18 kDa. In the present work, DPA-C5yne was labelled with no-carrier-added [18F]fluoride based on a one-step tosyloxy-for-fluorine nucleophilic substitution reaction, purified by cartridge and HPLC, and formulated as an i.v. injectable solution using a TRACERLab FX N Pro synthesizer. Typically, 4.3–5.2 GBq of [18F]DPA-C5yne, ready-to-use, chemically and radiochemically pure (> 95%), was obtained with specific radioactivities ranging from 55 to 110 GBq/µmol within 50–60 min, starting from a 30 GBq [18F]fluoride batch (14–17%). LogP and LogD of [18F]DPA-C5yne were measured using the shake-flask method and values of 2.39 and 2.51 were found, respectively. Autoradiography studies performed on slices of ((R,S)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolopropionique (AMPA)-lesioned rat brains showed a high target-to-background ratio (1.9 ± 0.3). Selectivity and specificity of the binding for the translocator protein was demonstrated using DPA-C5yne (unlabelled), PK11195 and Flumazenil (central benzodiazepine receptor ligand) as competitors. Furthermore, DPA-C5yne proved to be stable in plasma at 37°C for at least 90 min.
DPA-C5yne是一个新系列DPA-714衍生物的主要化合物,其中连接到苯基吡唑并嘧啶支架的氟乙氧基链被氟炔基取代,是一种高亲和力(Ki: 0.35 nM)且选择性靶向18 kDa转位蛋白的配体。在本研究中,DPA-C5yne通过一步托辛氧取代反应与无载体添加的[18F]氟化物标记,经过 cartridge 和 HPLC 纯化,并使用 TRACERLab FX N Pro 合成仪制备成静脉注射用溶液。通常,从30 GBq [18F]氟化物批次(14-17%)出发,获得了4.3-5.2 GBq的[18F]DPA-C5yne,准备使用,化学和放射化学纯度超过95%,特定放射活性范围为55到110 GBq/µmol,反应时间为50到60分钟。使用摇瓶法测定的[18F]DPA-C5yne的LogP和LogD值分别为2.39和2.51。在用((R,S)-α-氨基-3-羟基-5-甲基-4-异恶唑丙酸(AMPA)损伤的老鼠大脑切片进行的自显影研究中,显示出高目标与背景比率(1.9 ± 0.3)。通过使用未标记的DPA-C5yne、PK11195和氟马西尼(中央苯二氮平受体配体)作为竞争剂,证明了对转位蛋白的结合的选择性和特异性。此外,DPA-C5yne在37°C下在血浆中至少稳定90分钟。
