Discovery of (−)-7-Methyl-2-exo-[3′-(6-[18F]fluoropyridin-2-yl)-5′-pyridinyl]-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, a Radiolabeled Antagonist for Cerebral Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (α4β2-nAChR) with Optimal Positron Emission Tomography Imaging Properties
摘要:
Several isomers of 7-methyl-2-exo-([F-18]fluoropyridinyl-5'-pyridinyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane have been developed as radioligands with optimized brain kinetics for PET imaging of nAChR. The binding assay demonstrated that all isomers are beta-nAChR selective ligands with K-i = 0.02-0.3 nM. The experimental lipophilicity values of all isomers were in the. optimal range for the cerebral radioligands (log D-7.4=0.67-0.99). The isomers with higher binding affinity manifested slow baboon brain kinetics, whereas the isomer with the lowest binding affinity (K-i=0.3 nM) ((-)-7-methyl-2-exo-[3'-(6-[F]fluoropyridin-2-yl)-5'-pyridinyl]-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, [F-18](-)-6c) and greatest lipophilicity (log D-7.4=0.99) exhibited optimal brain kinetics. [F-18](-)-6c manifests a unique combination of the optimally rapid brain kinetics, high BP and brain uptake, and favorable metabolic profile. Pharmacological studies showed that (-)-6c is an alpha 4 beta 2-nAChR antagonist with low side effects in mice. This combination of imaging properties suggests that [F-18]-(-)-6c is a potentially superior replacement for 2-[F-18]fluoro-A-85380 and 6-[F-18]fluoro-A-85380, the only available nAChR PET radioligands for humans.
