摘要: There is considerable interest in using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to understand the function of dopamine D3 receptors. Due high sequence homology with D2 receptors, development D3-selective PET radiotracers has been challenging. In an effort overcome this issue, we report radiosynthesis a new selective ligand carbon-11 ([11C]1), and its initial preclincial evaluation as potential radiotracer for vivo [11C]1 was prepared via [11C]CO2 fixation 0.1% non-corrected radiochemical yield, good purity (>95%) specific activity (>2000 Ci mmol−1). exhibited binding receptors ex autoradiography experiments rat brain, but only 14-fold selectivity over which lower than 1400-fold value reported previously cell studies.
