Do spiroindolines have the potential to replace vesamicol as lead compound for the development of radioligands targeting the vesicular acetylcholine transporter? Bioorg Med Chem 2017; 25:5107-5113. [PMID: 28347632 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2017.03.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2017] [Revised: 03/13/2017] [Accepted: 03/15/2017] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) is an important target for in vivo imaging of neurodegenerative processes using positron emission tomography (PET). So far the development of VAChT PET radioligands is based on the single known lead compound vesamicol. In this study we investigated a recently published spiroindoline based compound class (Sluder et al., 2012), which was suggested to have potential in the development of VAChT ligands. Therefore, we synthesized a small series of N,N-substituted spiro[indoline-3,4'-piperidine] derivatives and determined their in vitro binding affinities toward the VAChT. In order to investigate the selectivity, the off-target binding toward σ1 and σ2 receptors was determined. The compounds possessed VAChT affinities with Ki values in the range of 39-376nM. Binding affinities toward the σ1 and σ2 receptors are in a similar range indicating that the strong structural difference between the spiroindolines and vesamicol did not improve the selectivity. The observed potential to additionally bind to σ receptors let us assume that the herein investigated spiroindolines are not suitable to replace vesamicol as lead compound for the development of VAChT ligands.

Abstract
Herein, new ligands for the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), based on a benzovesamicol scaffold, are presented. VAChT is acknowledged as a marker for cholinergic neurons and a positron emission tomography tracer for VAChT could serve as a tool for quantitative analysis of cholinergic neuronal density. With an easily accessible triflate precursor, aminocarbonylations were utilized to evaluate the chemical space around the C5 position on the tetrahydronaphthol ring. Synthesized ligands were evaluated for their affinity and selectivity for VAChT. Small, preferably aromatic, N-substituents proved to be more potent than larger substituents. Of the fifteen compounds synthesized, benzyl derivatives (±)-7i and (±)-7l had the highest affinities for VAChT. Compound (±)-7i was chosen to investigate the importance of stereochemistry for binding to VAChT and selectivity toward the σ1 and σ2 receptors. Enantiomeric resolution gave (+)-7i and (-)-7i, and the eutomer showed seven times better affinity. Although racemate (±)-7i was initially promising, the affinity of (-)-7i for VAChT was not better than 56.7nM which precludes further preclinical evaluation. However, the nanomolar binding together with the ready synthesis of [11C]-(±)-7i shows that (-)-7i can serve as a scaffold for future optimizations to provide improved 11C-labelled VAChT PET tracers.

Abstract
The vesicular transporters for the monoamine and acetylcholine have been successfully targeted for the development of radioligands for human brain imaging. The vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 ligands are based on the structure of tetrabenazine, a known clinically used drug. In contrast, the radioligands for vesicular acetylcholine transporter are based on vesamicol, a toxic xenobiotic. The similarities and differences in the development of these two classes of radioligands are discussed.

J Chromatogr A 2013; 1311:98-105.

Abstract
To develop a basis for the separation of a (18)F-labeled PET radiotracer from its nitro precursor, we performed an analytical HPLC study using the unlabeled reference compound and the corresponding nitro precursor. Aim of the study was to find a separation in which the fluoro derivative elutes in front of the nitro precursor with appropriate separation parameters. Several RP phases as well as a bare silica column were investigated with ACN and MeOH as organic modifiers and aqueous NH4OAc because of the basic character of the analytes. Four types of separation were observed based on different interaction mechanisms. When ACN/20mM NH4OAc aq. was used mainly cationic-exchange and hydrophobic interactions contributed to the retention. A reversal of elution order could be observed starting from 95% ACN and subsequent increasing of the water content. This phenomenon was observed for all RP phases and seems to be independent of the different spacers bound to the silica. By contrast, using MeOH/20mM NH4OAc aq. the elution order depends on the phase material. Two columns with the potential to perform π-π interactions showed different separation behavior compared to the other RP phases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II integral membrane protein expressed on the surface of prostate cancer (PCa) cells, particularly in androgen-independent, advanced, and metastatic disease. Previously, we demonstrated that N-[N-[(S)-1,3-dicarboxypropyl]carbamoyl]-4-(18)F-fluorobenzyl-L-cysteine ((18)F-DCFBC) could image an experimental model of PSMA-positive PCa using PET. Here, we describe the initial clinical experience and radiation dosimetry of (18)F-DCFBC in men with metastatic PCa. METHODS Five patients with radiologic evidence of metastatic PCa were studied after the intravenous administration of 370 MBq (10 mCi) of (18)F-DCFBC. Serial PET was performed until 2 h after administration. Time-activity curves were generated for selected normal tissues and metastatic foci. Radiation dose estimates were calculated using OLINDA/EXM 1.1. RESULTS Most vascular organs demonstrated a slow decrease in radioactivity concentration over time consistent with clearance from the blood pool, with primarily urinary radiotracer excretion. Thirty-two PET-positive suspected metastatic sites were identified, with 21 concordant on both PET and conventional imaging for abnormal findings compatible with metastatic disease. Of the 11 PET-positive sites not identified on conventional imaging, most were within the bone and could be considered suggestive for the detection of early bone metastases, although further validation is needed. The highest mean absorbed dose per unit administered radioactivity (μGy/MBq) was in the bladder wall (32.4), and the resultant effective dose was 19.9 ± 1.34 μSv/MBq (mean ± SD). CONCLUSION Although further studies are needed for validation, our findings demonstrate the potential of (18)F-DCFBC as a new positron-emitting imaging agent for the detection of metastatic PCa. This study also provides dose estimates for (18)F-DCFBC that are comparable to those of other PET radiopharmaceuticals such as (18)F-FDG.
