[Carbonyl-C-11]WAY-100635 ([C-11]WAY) is an established radioligand for the study of brain serotonin(1A) (5-HT1A) receptors in living animals and humans with positron emission tomography (PET). There is a recognised need to develop halogenated ligands for 5-HT1A receptors, either for labelling with longer lived fluorine-18 for more widespread application with PET or with iodine-123 for application with single photon emission tomography (SPET). Here we used autoradiography and PET to assess two new halogenated anlogues of WAY, namely 6BPWAY and 6FPWAY [N-(2-(1-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-piperazinyl) ethyl))-N-(2-(6-bromo-/fluoro-pyridinyl))cyclohexanecarboxamide] as prospective radioligands, initially using carbon-11 as the radiolabel. Labelling of 6BPWAY and 6FPWAY with carbon-11 was accomplished by acylation of the corresponding secondary amine precursors with [carbonyl-C-11]cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride. After incubation of human brain crysections with [C-11]6BPWAY or [C-11]6FPWAY, the highest accumulation of radioactivity was observed in cortical areas and the hippocampal formation. Both radioligands had high nonspecific binding. There was a rapid accumulation of radioactivity in the monkey brain after intravenous injection of [C-11]6BPWAY and [C-11]6FPWAY. High accumulation of radioactivity was observed in the frontal and temporal cortex and the raphe nuclei, areas known to contain a high density of 5-HT1A receptors. The ratios of radioactivity in receptor-rich temporal cortex to that in receptor poor cerebellum at peak equilibrium were 1.9 (at 10 min) and 3.0 at (at 20 min) for [C-11]6BPWAY and [C-11]6FPWAY, respectively. In pretreatment experiments with high doses of unlabelled WAY, the level of radioactivity in the frontal and temporal cortex and the raphe nuclei was reduced to the same level as in the cerebellum. Radioactive metabolites of [C-11]6FPWAY appeared at a rate similar to those for [C-11]WAY, with 17% of the radioactivity in plasma represented by unchanged radioligand after 40 min. Radioactive metabolites of [C-11]6BPWAY appeared much more slowly. At 40 min after injection 45% of the radioactivity in plasma still represented unchanged radioligand. The results indicate that 6-pyridinyl radiohalogented analogues of WAY are new leads to radioligands for PET or SPET. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved. |
