Abstract:
:The α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) subtype, is found to have a connection with the pathogenesis of a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Herein, we report the development of radioiodinated 9-fluorenone derivatives as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging tracers for α7-nAChRs. Among the derivatives, the best member of the series 10 (Ki = 2.23 nM) were radiolabeled with 125I for in vitro and in vivo studies. The radiotracer [125I]10 exhibited robust brain uptake and specifically labeled α7-nAChRs with a peak uptake value of 9.49 ± 0.87%ID/g in brain. Blocking studies demonstrated that the tracer was highly specific toward α7-nAChR. Furthermore, ex vivo autoradiography and micro-SPECT/CT dynamic imaging in mice confirmed the excellent imaging properties. In addition, molecular docking was also performed to rationalize the potency of the chosen compounds towards α7-nAChRs. To conclude, compound 10 could serve as a promising radiotracer for the α7-nAChRs.
