Popis: Four isomeric N -(halophenyl)trozamicol analogues (6a–d) were synthesized and evaluated as potential vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) ligands. Of the four compounds, N -(3-bromophenyl)trozamicol (6b) and N -(3-iodophenyl)trozamicol (6d) displayed the highest affinity for the VAChT in vitro , whereas the para -substituted compound 6c showed the lowest affinity for this transporter. Tissue distribution studies of N -(3-[ 125 I]iodophenyl)trozamicol ([ 125 I]6d, [ 125 I]IPHT) suggest that the central distribution of the latter is consistent with cholinergic innervation. However, only moderate target-to-background ratios were obtained, suggesting little improvement over the N -(halobenzyl)trozamicols described previously.
