- Synthesis and In Vivo Evaluation of a Kit-Type 99mTc-labeled N-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-(4-(2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylaminopropoxy)phenyl)propanamide as a Selective β1-Adrenoceptor-binding SPECT Radiotracer
-
To develop a novel β1-adrenoceptor selective radiotracer, 99mTc-labeld N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-(4-(2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylaminopropoxy)phenyl)propanamide ([99mTc]1) was prepared by incorporating [99mTcO4]? into the precursor 3. Radiotracer [99mTc]1 was optimized in several reaction conditions for kit-type preparation of 99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals. The radiochemical yield was around 95% (non-decay corrected) within 30 s labeling time and radiochemical purity showed over 98%. In image studies, [99mTc]1 provided a good heart accumulation, whereas liver and lung uptakes showed relatively low at initial time. Furthermore, [99mTc]1 images at 25 min post-injection provided a clearly visible cardiac image with high contrast. To confirm the β1-adrenoceptor-binding specificity of [99mTc]1, a blocking experiment was performed. In vivo blocking with excess esmolol (18 mg/kg) or atenolol (2 mg/kg) resulted in significantly reduced radioactivity uptake in the heart around 92 and 76%, respectively. The results suggested that [99mTc]1 might be of worth applying to the assessment of β1-adrenoceptor expression in the heart diseases.
