Abstract
2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-N-(4-methylbenzyl)-N-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)acetamide (AC90179, 4), a highly potent and selective competitive 5-HT2A antagonist, was labeled by [11C]-methylation of the corresponding desmethyl analogue 5 with [11C]methyl triflate. The precursor molecule 5 for radiolabeling was synthesized from p-tolylmethylamine in three steps with 46% overall yield. [11C]AC90179 was synthesized in 30 min (30 ± 5% yield, EOS) with a specific activity of 4500 ± 500 Ci/mmol and >99% chemical and radiochemical purities. Positron emission tomography studies in anesthetized baboon revealed that [11C]4 Penetrates the blood–brain barrier (BBB) with a rapid influx and efflux of the tracer in all brain regions. Due to lack of tracer retention or specific binding, [11C]4 cannot be used as PET ligand for imaging 5-HT2A receptors. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
[O-methyl-11C] 2(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(4-methylbenzyl)-N-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)acetamide (AC90179) shows potential as a PET ligand for imaging 5-HT2A receptors
