Methods have been developed for the preparation of 2-(2(RS)-aminopropyl)- 5-iodothiophenes. The syntheses and physical properties of 2-(2(RS)- aminopropyl)-5-iodothiophene and N-isopropyl-2-(2(RS)-aminopropyl)-5- iodothiophene are described. The radioiodinated agents are of interest because of the high expected uptake and prolonged brain retention that may result from binding to high-capacity, relatively nonspecific amine binding sites. Radioiodine was introduced into the 5-position of 2-(2(RS)- aminopropyl)-5-iodothiophene and N-isopropyl-2-(2(RS)-aminopropyl)-5- iodothiophene by radioiodination of the corresponding 5-boronic acid or 5- (trimethylstannyl) derivatives. Tissue distribution studies in rats with 2- (2(RS)-aminopropyl)-5-[125I]iodothiophene showed high brain uptake (5 min, 2.77% dose/g; 30 min, 2.51% dose/g) and good brain/blood (B/B) ratios (5 min, 6/1; 30 min 3.8/1. A comparison of the brain uptake of the N-isopropyl derivative with the 2(RS)-aminopropyl analogue demonstrated higher initial brain uptake and brain to blood ratios (5 min, 3.2% dose/g; 10.3/1) but more rapid washout (30 min, 1.37% dose; 2.8/1). These data suggest that radiolabeled 2-(2(RS)-aminopropyl)-5-iodothiophenes are potentially useful agents for cerebral perfusion imaging by single-photon-emission computerized tomography (SPECT).
