Improved Synthesis of [11c]methylaminobenzovesamicol
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient two-step synthesis of the potential cholinergic neuronal mapping tracer [~~C]methylaminobenzovesamicol (MABV) is described. A tert-butoxycarbonyl protecting group was used to activate the aniline nitrogen of aminobenzovesamicol toward [ "Clmethyl iodide methylation under basic conditions. Following labeling, the protecting group was removed by brief acid treatment and the final product was purified by normal phase HPLC. The decay corrected yields of MABV are in the range of 30-70 %, based on 11C02, with a specific activity of 0.5-1.5 Ci/ pmol and synthesis time of less than 45 minutes. This new route makes clinical scale doses of this interesting compound available for human positron emission tomography studies.

Radiosynthesis of 11C-phenytoin Using a DEGDEE Solvent for Clinical PET Studies
Objective(s): Phenytoin is an antiepileptic drug that is used worldwide. The whole-body pharmacokinetics of this drug have been extensively studied using 11C-phenytoin in small animals. However, because of the limited production amounts that are presently available, clinical 11C-phenytoin PET studies to examine the pharmacokinetics of phenytoin in humans have not yet been performed. We aimed to...
متن کاملImproved synthesis of [11C]SA4503, [11C]MPDX and [11C]TMSX by use of [11C]methyl triflate.
Recently we have clinically used three new radioligands, [11C]SA4503, [11C]MPDX, and [11C]TMSX, for mapping sigma1, adenosine A1, and adenosine A2A receptors, respectively, in the human brain by positron emission tomography. These radioligands are synthesized by methylation of the respective demethyl precursor with [11C]methyl iodide. Here we demonstrate the improved syntheses of these compound...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND At present, several positron emission tomography (PET) tracers are in use for imaging P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function in man. At baseline, substrate tracers such as R-[11C]verapamil display low brain concentrations with a distribution volume of around 1. [11C]phenytoin is supposed to be a weaker P-gp substrate, which may lead to higher brain concentrations at baseline. T...

A method of 11C-methionine synthesis using ‘bubbling’ method is presented. 11C-methionine was synthesized via 11C methylation from L-cysteine thiolactone (2 mg) in a 300 L solution of 2:1:1 (v/v) 1 M NaOH, ethanol, and water at ambient temperature (85°C, 5 min). The radiochemical purity of radiotracer was higher than 99% and enantiomeric purity (L-11C-methionine) was 91.6 ± 0.4%. The fi nal pr...
متن کاملApplication of Microreactor to the Preparation of C-11-Labeled Compounds via O-[11C]Methylation with [11C]CH3I: Rapid Synthesis of [11C]Raclopride.
A new radiolabeling method using a microreactor was developed for the rapid synthesis of [(11)C]raclopride. A chip bearing a Y-shaped mixing junction with a 200 µm (width)×20 µm (depth)×250 mm (length) flow channel was designed, and the efficiency of O-[11C]methylation was evaluated. Dimethyl sulfoxide solutions containing the O-desmethyl precursor or [11C]CH3I were introduced into separate inj...
