Within the class of (4-pyridinyl)vinylpyridines developed by Abbott laboratories as potent neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ligands, p-PVP-MEMA ({(R)-2-[6-chloro-5-((E)-2-pyridin-4-ylvinyl)pyridin-3-yloxy]-1- methylethyl}methylamine) is the lead compound of a novel series that do not display the traditional nicotinic-like pyrrole-ring but still possessing high subnanomolar affinity (Ki 0.077 nm?displacement of [ 3H](?)cytisine from whole rat brain synaptic membranes). In the present study, p-PVP-MEMA and its nor-derivative ({(R)-2-[6-chloro-5-((E)-2- pyridin-4-ylvinyl)pyridin-3-yloxy]-1-methylethyl}methylamine) as precursor for labelling with the short-lived positron-emitter carbon-11 (T1/2 20.4 min) were synthesized in 10 chemical steps from 2-hydroxy-5-nitropyridine and Boc-d-alanine. N-Alkylation of nor-p-PVP-MEMA with [11C]methyl iodide afforded [11C]p-PVP-MEMA (>98% radiochemically pure, specific activity of 86.4 GBq ?mol?1) in 2% (non-decay corrected and non-optimized) radiochemical yield, in 34 min (including HPLC purification and formulation). Preliminary positron emission tomography (PET) results obtained in a Papio hamadryas baboon showed that [11C]p-PVP-MEMA is not a suitable PET-radioligand. CSIRO 2008.

Reportedly, 2-[18F]fluoro-A-85380, 1, a promising radiotracer for imaging the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) by positron emission tomography (PET) in humans, exhibits slow penetration through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) due to its low lipophilicity. A ligand for nAChRs with greater lipophilicity than that of 1 would be potentially more favorable for PET imaging of nAChR due to its faster penetration through the BBB. Herein, a novel series of compounds has been developed based on the high affinity ligand for nAChRs, 2-chloro-5-((1-methyl-2-(S)-pyrrolidinyl)methoxy)- 3-(2-(4-pyridinyl)vinyl)pyridine, 3b. The in vitro binding affinities for the new series were found to be in the range of Ki = 9-331 pM. A molecular modeling study showed differences in the comformational profiles and the electronic properties of these compounds, which provides further insight into the structure-activity relationships at nAChR. Lipophilicities of the compounds 3b-6b have been found to be substantially higher than that of 1. As a result, compounds 3b-6b might exhibit a faster penetration through the BBB than the less lipophilic 1. The N-methyl derivatives 3b and 6b demonstrated very high affinities at nAChRs (Ki = 28 and 23 pM, respectively) and will be targets for development of 11CH3-labeled derivatives as radiotracers for PET imaging of nAChRs.
