The present invention provides novel fluorophilic compounds having structure VII
wherein R
1
is a C
1
-C
20
aliphatic, a C
2
-C
20
cycloaliphatic, or a C
2
-C
20
aromatic radical comprising at least one functional group susceptible to reaction with nucleophilic fluoride ion or an electrophilic fluorinating agent; R
2
is a C
1
-C
10
aliphatic radical; R
3
is hydrogen or a C
1
-C
10
aliphatic radical; R
4
is hydrogen or a C
1
-C
10
aliphatic radical; and R
5
is hydrogen, a C
1
-C
10
aliphatic radical, a C
2
-C
10
cycloaliphatic radical, or a C
2
-C
20
aromatic radical. The fluorophilic compounds are provided in both racemic and enantiomerically enriched forms and are useful as intermediates in the preparation of novel PET imaging agents and probes useful in the discovery and performance assessment of PET imaging agents. The fluorophilic compounds are particularly useful in the preparation of PET imaging agents and probes having a high affinity for VMAT-2, a biomarker implicated in human diabetes and other illnesses such as Parkinson's disease.
本发明提供了具有结构VII的新型亲氟化合物,其中R1是C1-C20脂肪族、C2-C20环脂肪族或含有至少一个易受亲核氟离子或亲电氟化剂反应的官能基的C2-C20芳香基团;R2是C1-C10脂肪基;R3是氢或C1-C10脂肪基;R4是氢或C1-C10脂肪基;R5是氢、C1-C10脂肪基、C2-C10环脂肪基或C2-C20芳香基。这些亲氟化合物以消旋和对映富集形式提供,并可用作新型PET成像剂的中间体,以及用于发现和评估PET成像剂的性能。这些亲氟化合物在制备具有对VMAT-2具有高亲和力的PET成像剂和探针方面特别有用,VMAT-2是涉及人类糖尿病和其他疾病(如帕金森病)的生物标志物。
