Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of small-molecule [18F] labeled gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonists as potential PET imaging agents for GnRH receptor expression
摘要:
Two novel small molecule gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonists (12 and 13) of the furamide-class were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their receptor binding affinities for the rat GnRH receptor. Radiolabeling with no carrier added fluorine-18 of the appropriate precursors was investigated in a one-step reaction. LogP (Octanol/PBS pH 7.4) and serum stability of the compounds were investigated. The antagonists showed low nM affinity for the rat GnRH receptor. F-18-radiolabled compounds were obtained in high radiochemical purity (> 95%) and specific activity (> 75 GBq/mu mol). These findings suggest this class of compounds holds promise as potential probes for PET targeting of GnRHreceptor expression. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
