σ2 Receptors are promising biomarkers for cancer diagnosis given the relationship between the proliferative status of tumors and their density. With the aim of contributing to the research of σ2 receptor Positron Emission Tomography (PET) probes, we developed 2-[3-[6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl]propyl]-3, 4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (3), with optimal σ2 pharmacological properties and appropriate lipophilicity. Hence, 3 served as the lead compound for the development of a series of dihydroisoquinolinones amenable to radiolabeling. Radiosynthesis for compound 26, which displayed the most appropriate σ2 profile, was developed and σ2 specific binding for the corresponding [18F]-26 was confirmed by in vitro autoradiography on rat brain slices. Despite the excellent in vitro properties, [18F]-26 could not successfully image σ2 receptors in the rat brain in vivo, maybe because of its interaction with P-gp. Nevertheless, [18F]-26 may still be worthy of further investigation for the imaging of σ2 receptors in peripheral tumors devoid of P-gp overexpression.

Structural modification of the calcium-antagonist verapamil (1) by replacement of the lipophilic α-isopropylacetonitrile moiety by various heterocyclic ring systems has led to a new class of cardiovascular compounds which are characterized by a specific bradycardic activity. These agents reduce heart rate without binding to classical calcium channels or β-adrenoceptors, interacting instead specifically with structures at the sino atrial node. Therefore they have also been termed sinus node inhibition. The prototype falipamil (2) has been submitted to furthr optimization mainly hy manipulation of the phthalimidine moiety. This has resultd in a secod generation of specific bradycardic agents with increased potency and selectively and prolonged duration of action represented by the benzazepinone-derivative UL-FS 49 (4). Structure-activity relationships within this novel class of compounds have revealed a marked dependence of activity on the substitution pattern of the aromatic rings, the nature of the central nitrogen atom, and the length of the connecting alkyl chains. The crucial role of the benzazepione ring for bradycardic activity can be best explained by its special impact on the overall molecular conformation.
