Abstract: | A series of vesamicol analogues, o-iodo-trans-decalinvesamicol (OIDV) or o-bromo-trans-decalinvesamicol (OBDV), were synthesized and their affinities to vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) and σ receptors (σ-1, σ-2) were evaluated by in vitro binding assays using rat cerebral or liver membranes. OIDV and OBDV showed greater binding affinity to VAChT (K(i)=20.5±5.6 and 13.8±1.2nM, respectively) than did vesamicol (K(i)=33.9±18.1nM) with low affinity to σ receptors. A saturation binding assay in rat cerebral membranes revealed that [(125)I]OIDV had a single high affinity binding site with a K(d) value of 1.73nM and a B(max) value of 164.4fmol/mg protein. [(125)I]OIDV revealed little competition with inhibitors, which possessed specific affinity to each σ (σ-1 and σ-2), serotonin (5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A)), noradrenaline, and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. In addition, BBB penetration of [(125)I]OIDV was verified in in vivo. The results of the binding studies indicated that OIDV and OBDV had great potential to be VAChT imaging probes with high affinity and selectivity. |
