摘要:
Cyclofenil analogs (2a-2f) and their fluorine-containing derivatives (3a-3f) were synthesized and evaluated as candidate ligands for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of estrogen receptors. Most of them show relatively high binding affinities comparable with estradiol (E-2). (4-Fluoroethoxyphenyl)-(4-hydroxyphenyl) methylenecyclopentane (3a) showed both the highest binding affinity for ERs (88.6 for ER beta, 13.8 for ER alpha) and highest beta/alpha ratio (beta/alpha for 6.4-fold). The radioactive compound [F-18]3a was prepared via displacement of the corresponding mesylate precursor 4 with [F-18]fluoride (F-18: beta(+): 96.7%, T-1/2 = 109.8 min). The biodistribution studies in immature female SD rats demonstrated that the uptake in the uterus and ovaries were 1.358 +/- 0.089% ID/g, 1.439 +/- 0.214% ID/g, respectively, both of the ratios of uterus/blood and ovaries/blood was less than 2:1. Micro-PET imaging of immature female SD rats has also been reported. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
