5-HT3 receptor is an attractive target for the development of therapeutic agents for use in brain, heart and cancer diseases, and imaging agents for use in biomedical imaging technique PET. Benzoxazole derivatives are a novel class of 5-HT3 receptor partial agonists with high binding affinity. Carbon-11 labeled benzoxazole derivatives have been synthesized as new potential PET radioligands for imaging 5-HT3 receptor. The target tracers were prepared by N-[11C]methylation of their corresponding precursors using [11C]CH3OTf and isolated by HPLC purification procedure in 40-50% radiochemical yields, which were decay corrected to the end of bombardment (EOB), based on [11C]CO2. The overall synthesis time was 20-25 min from EOB. The radiochemical purity was >99%, and specific activity was in a range of 74-111 GBq/μmol at the end of synthesis (EOS).

This invention provides a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor partial activator which has a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor activating action, in addition to its serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonism, and does not cause constipation as a side effect. Particularly, based on the finding that newly synthesized benzoxazole derivatives typified by the compounds of the following formula (2) have strong serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonism and serotonin 5-HT3 receptor activating action, this invention provides these benzoxazole derivatives as serotonin 5-HT3 receptor partial activators. In the above formula, R1 to R4 may be the same or different from one another and each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkenyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, or two groups of R1 and R2 may be linked together to form a ring structure, namely benzene ring; R5 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkenyl group; and m is an integer of 1 to 4.
