This study describes an effective strategy to improve pharmacokinetics of A beta imaging agents, offering a novel class of (R)- and (S)-F-18-labeled 2-arylbenzoheterocyclic derivatives which bear an additional chiral hydroxyl group on the side chain. These ligands displayed binding abilities toward A beta aggregates with K-i values ranging from 3.2 to 195.6 nM. Chirality-related discrepancy was observed in biodistribution, and (S)-2-phenylbenzoxazole enantiomers exhibited vastly improved brain clearance with washout ratios higher than 20. Notably, (S)-[F-18]28 possessed high binding potency (K-i = 7.6 nM) and exceptional brain kinetics (9.46% ID/g at 2 min, brain(2min)/brain(60min) = 27.8) that is superior to well-established [F-18]AV45. The excellent pharmacokinetics and low nonspecific binding of (S)-[F-18]28 were testified by dynamic PET/CT scans in monkey brains. In addition, (S)-[F-18]28 clearly labeled A beta plaques both in vitro and ex vivo. These results might qualify (S)-[F-18]28 to detect A beta plaques with high signal-to-noise ratio.
