[18F]EFB was synthesised in 210 min in 3-5% decay-corrected radiochemical yield (DC RCY), >99% radiochemical purity (RCP) and >300 GBq/μmol and fully characterised. Functional assays showed that the compound binds with nM K i to human, rat and mouse P2X7 receptors. In vivo, [18F]EFB displayed a desirable distribution profile, and while it showed low blood-brain barrier penetration, brain uptake was quantifiable
背景技术已经显示出P2X7受体在炎性级联的起始和维持中起基本作用。新型氟18 PET示踪剂的开发优于目前可用的氟并具有更长的半衰期,是朝着利用该靶标提供的治疗和诊断潜能迈出的有希望的一步。受已知拮抗剂A-804598的启发,本研究概述了通过分子对接,合成和新型P2X7示踪剂[18F] EFB的生物学评估进行的设计。通过三步程序对示踪剂进行放射性标记,通过钙内流分析在P2X7转染的HEK293和B16细胞中评估了体外结合,并在注射脂多糖(LPS)的神经炎症大鼠模型中进行了临床前评估。结果新型示踪剂[18F] EFB以210%的衰变校正放射化学收率(DC RCY),> 99%放射化学纯度(RCP)和> 300 GBq /μmol合成,并得到了充分表征。功能分析表明该化合物与nM K i结合至人,大鼠和小鼠的P2X7受体。在体内,[18F] EFB表现出理想的分布特征,尽管显示出低的血脑屏障
