Synthesis and biological characterization of a promising F-18 PET tracer for vesicular acetylcholine transporter

Abstract: Nine fluorine-containing vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) inhibitors were synthesized and screened as potential PET tracers for imaging the VAChT. Compound 18a was one of the most promising carbonyl-containing benzovesamicol analogues; the minus enantiomer, (-)-18a displayed high potency (VAChT Ki = 0.59 ± 0.06 nM) and high selectivity for VAChT versus receptors (> 10,000-fold). The radiosynthesis of (-)-[18F]18a was accomplished by a two-step procedure with 30 – 40% radiochemical yield. Preliminary… Show more

“…PET scans of the NHP brain were carried out on two adult male cynomolgus macaques weighing 5.5–7.5 kg following established procedures. [26, 2931] Subject A underwent four baseline scans (including two scans with two arterial blood sampling) and seven scans following pharmacological intervention. Subject B underwent two baseline scans (including one scan with arterial blood sampling).…”
