Abstract
Abstract1-(2-methoxy phenyl) piperazine fragment of WAY100635 or its phenolic analogue, derived from DWAY is used to design the desired structure of 5HT1A receptor imaging agents. In this study a DWAY analogue was labeled with 99mTc-nitrido ([99mTcN]2+) core via dithiocarbamate. 2-(piperazin-1-yl) phenol dithiocarbamate was synthesized by the reaction of 2-(piperazin-1-yl) phenol with an equivalent amount of carbon disulfide in KOH solution then radiolabeled with 99mTc-nitrido core. The final complex was characterized by HPLC and its radiochemical purity was more than 90 %. In vitro stability studies have shown the complex was stable at least 4 h after labeling at room temperature. The n-octanol/water partition coefficient experiment demonstrated log p = 1.34 for 99mTcN–OHPP–DTC. Biodistribution results showed that radio tracer had moderate brain uptake (0.39 ± 0.03 %ID/g at 15 min and 0.29 ± 0.02 %ID/g at 120 min) and good retention, suggesting that this complex may lead to a further development of a radiotracer with specific binding to 5-HT1A receptor.
