A new radioligand for monoamine oxidase type A (MAO-A), [11C]fluoroclorgyline, was synthesized from its desmethyl precursor by N-methylation reaction using [11C]methyl iodide with a radiochemical yield of 75-85%. The radiochemical purity of the product was more than 99% and the specific radioactivity was 7.4-18.5 GBq/μmol. The in vivo tissue distribution studies of [11C]fluoroclorgyline in mice demonstrated its high initial uptake and prolonged retention in the brain, comparable to those of [11C]clorgyline. A selective interaction with MAO-A in the accumulation of [11C]fluoroclorgyline was confirmed by a competition experiment performed with the MAO-A specific inhibitor, clorgyline, and MAO-B specific inhibitor, l-deprenyl. These very desirable characteristics of [11] fluoroclorgyline suggested that its 18F labeled counterpart, [18F]fluoroclorgyline, would have great potential as a longer-lived alternative to 11C labeled clorgyline for in vivo studies of MAO-A in the human brain with positron emission tomography (PET).
利用[11C]甲基碘通过 N-甲基化反应合成了一种新的单胺氧化酶 A 型(MAO-A)放射性配体--[11C]氟氯吉林,其放射化学收率为 75-85%。产品的放射化学纯度超过 99%,比放射性为 7.4-18.5 GBq/μmol。[11C]氟氯吉林在小鼠体内的组织分布研究表明,它在大脑中的初始摄取量高,保留时间长,与[11C]氯吉林相当。在[11C]氟氯吉林的蓄积过程中与 MAO-A 的选择性相互作用是通过与 MAO-A 特异性抑制剂氯吉林和 MAO-B 特异性抑制剂 l-deprenyl 的竞争实验来证实的。[11]氟氯吉林的这些非常理想的特性表明,其 18F 标记的对应物[18F]氟氯吉林作为 11C 标记的氯吉林的长效替代物,在利用正电子发射断层扫描(PET)对人脑中的 MAO-A 进行体内研究方面具有巨大的潜力。
