Popis: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are downregulated in disease conditions such as Alzheimer's and substance abuse. Presently, (123)I-5-IA-85380 is used in human studies and requires over 6h of scanning time, thus increases patient discomfort. We have designed and synthesized 3-iodo-5-[2-(S)-3-pyrrolinylmethoxy]pyridine (niodene) with the aim to have faster binding kinetics compared to (123)I-5-IA-85380, which may reduce scanning time and help in imaging studies. Binding affinity K(i) of niodene for rat brain α4β2 receptors in brain homogenate assays using (3)H-cytisine was 0.27 nM. Niodene, 10nM displaced >95% of (18)F-nifene bound to α4β2 receptors in rat brain slices. By using the iododestannylation method, (123)I-niodene was obtained in high radiochemical purity (>95%) but with low radiochemical yield (
