    The overexpression of P2X7R is associated with neuroinflammation and plays an important role in various neurodegenerative diseases. The [18F]fluoropropyl derivative of GSK1482160, [18F]IUR-1602, has been first prepared and examined as a new potential P2X7R radioligand. The reference standard IUR-1602 was synthesized from tert-butyl (S)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylate, fluoropropylbromide, and 2-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine with overall chemical yield 13% in three steps. The target tracer [18F]IUR-1602 was synthesized from desmethyl-GSK1482160 with 3-[18F]fluoropropyl tosylate, prepared from propane-1,3-diyl bis(4-methylbenzenesulfonate) and K[18F]F/Kryptofix2.2.2, in two steps and isolated by HPLC combined with SPE in 2–7% decay corrected radiochemical yield. The radiochemical purity was >99%, and the molar activity at end of bombardment (EOB) was 74–370 GBq/μmol. The potency of IUR-1602 in comparison with GSK1482160 was determined by a radioligand competitive binding assay using [11C]GSK1482160, and the binding affinity Ki values for IUR-1602 and GSK1482160 are 23.6 and 3.07 nM, respectively. The initial in vitro evaluation results, 8-fold less potency of [18F]IUR-1602 compared to [11C]GSK1482160, prevent further in vivo evaluation of [18F]IUR-1602 in animals and human.

    Synthesis and preliminary biological evaluation of a novel P2X7R radioligand [18F]IUR-1601
    (Elsevier, 2018-05) Gao, Mingzhang; Wang, Min; Glick-Wilson, Barbara E.; Meyer, Jill A.; Peters, Jonathan S.; Territo, Paul R.; Green, Mark A.; Hutchins, Gary D.; Zarrinmayeh, Hamideh; Zheng, Qi-Huang; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of Medicine
    The reference standard IUR-1601 ((S)-N-(2-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1-(2-fluoroethyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide) was synthesized from tert-butyl (S)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylate, fluoroethylbromide, and 2-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine with overall chemical yield 12% in three steps. The target tracer [18F]IUR-1601 ((S)-N-(2-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide) was synthesized from desmethyl-GSK1482160 with 2-[18F]fluoroethyl tosylate, prepared from 1,2-ethylene glycol-bis-tosylate and K[18F]F/Kryptofix2.2.2, in two steps and isolated by HPLC combined with SPE in 1–3% decay corrected radiochemical yield. The radiochemical purity was >99%, and the molar activity at end of bombardment (EOB) was 74–370 GBq/μmol. The potency of IUR-1601 in comparison with GSK1482160 was determined by a radioligand competitive binding assay using [11C]GSK1482160, and the binding affinity Ki values for IUR-1601 and GSK1482160 are 4.31 and 5.14 nM, respectively.
