Abstract: | Fallypride benzamide, 5-(3-fluoropropyl)-2,3-dimethoxy-N-(2S)-1-(2-propenyl)-2-pyrrolidinyl]methyl]-, CAS RN 166173-78-0] is a selective dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist. Carbon-11 labeled fallypride may serve as a radiotracer for use in biomedical imaging technique positron emission tomography (PET). The precursor, 5-(3-fluoropropyl)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-N-(2S)-1-(2-propenyl)-2-pyrrolidinyl]methyl]benzamide was synthesized from 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-(2-propenyl)benzoic acid, methyl ester in seven steps with approximately 10% overall chemical yield. Using this precursor (11)C-fallypride was produced by radiolabeling with (11)C-methyl iodide in 25-40% radiochemical yields with specific activities of 200-1000 Ci/mmol. PET imaging studies in nonhuman primates with (11)C-fallypride showed radiotracer localization in dopaminergic brain regions such as caudate, putamen, thalamus and cortex. This regional localization of (11)C-fallypride is similar to that observed previously for (18)F-fallypride. The results suggest (11)C-fallypride is a useful PET radiotracer for imaging dopamine D2/D3 receptors. |
