Abstract
11C-labeled analogs of 4-chloro-5-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)imidazole ([11C]1), 4-[4-chloro-5-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)imidazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide ([11C]2) and 2-(4-aminosulfonylphenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)indole ([11C]3), which have been shown to have excellent potency and high selectivity for cyclooxygenase isoform 2 (COX-2) inhibiting activity, were prepared and evaluated in rats as potential radiopharmaceuticals for imaging the COX-2 enzyme by positron emission tomography. These 11C-labeled COX-2 inhibitors were synthesized in high radiochemical yields by O-[11C]methylation of phenolic precursors with [11C]methyl triflate in acetone containing NaOH as a base. In vivo evaluation in rats bearing AH109A hepatoma showed no specific binding of any tracer to COX-2 in any tissue such as the brain, heart, lung, kidney, and AH109A hepatoma. In ex vivo autoradiography, [11C]1 showed regionally different distribution in the brain, while [11C]2 and [11C]3 were not substantially taken up by the brain. In in vitro monolayer efflux assays, compound 3 was found to be a substrate for the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux pump, but pretreatment of rats with the potent P-gp inhibitor, cyclosporine A, did not have any significant influence on the cerebral uptake of [11C]3. These results indicate that all three tracers were not suitable for in vivo imaging of COX-2. There seem to be some obstacles to finding a useful candidate for in vivo imaging application of COX-2 selective inhibitors only by standard consideration of in vitro affinity and selectivity, and the lipophilicity of the compound.

Abstract
We prepared 11C-labeled 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole ([11C]1) and 4-[5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide ([11C]2) for imaging COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms, respectively, by positron emission tomography. [11C]1 and [11C]2 were synthesized in high radiochemical yields by O-[11C]methylation with [11C]methyl triflate in acetone containing an equivalent of NaOH as a base with respect to the phenolic precursors. In vivo evaluation in rats bearing AH109A hepatoma demonstrated minimal specific binding of [11C] to COX-1 in peripheral organs, such as the spleen and small intestine. Carrier-saturable uptake of [11C]2 was found in the spleen, but COX-2-specific binding of [11C]2 was not identifiable in the brain, AH109A hepatoma or other peripheral organs, although ex vivo autoradiography showed regionally different distribution in the brain and AH109A. The results suggest that neither [11C]1 nor [11C]2 is a suitable radioligand for in vivo biomarkers of COX enzymes, mainly because of marked non-specific binding.

Abstract
Recently we have clinically used three new radioligands, [11C]SA4503, [11C]MPDX, and [11C]TMSX, for mapping sigma1, adenosine A1, and adenosine A2A receptors, respectively, in the human brain by positron emission tomography. These radioligands are synthesized by methylation of the respective demethyl precursor with [11C]methyl iodide. Here we demonstrate the improved syntheses of these compounds by use of [11C]methyl triflate, a highly reactive alternative to [11C]methyl iodide.

Abstract
In previous in vivo studies with mice, rats and monkeys, we have demonstrated that [11C]TMSX ([7-methyl-11C]-(E)-8-(3,4,5-trimethoxystyryl)-1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is a potential radioligand for mapping adenosine A2A receptors of the brain by positron emission tomography (PET). In the present study, we performed a preclinical study. A suitable preparation method for [11C]TMSX injection was established. The radiation absorbed-dose by [11C]TMSX in humans estimated from the tissue distribution in mice was low enough for clinical use, and the acute toxicity and mutagenicity of TMSX were not found. The striatal uptake of [11C]TMSX in mice was reduced by pretreatment with theophylline at the dose of 10 and 100 mg/kg, suggesting that the [11C]TMSX PET should be carefully performed in the patients received with theophylline. We have concluded that [11C]TMSX is suitable for mapping adenosine A2A receptors in the human brain by PET.

Abstract
We prepared sigma(1)-receptor selective 1-([4-methoxy-(11)C]-3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine ([(11)C]SA4503) and its fluorinated analog 1-([4-methoxy-(11)C]3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-4-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)propyl]piperazine ([(11)C]SA5845), and their [(11)C]ethoxy and [(18)F]fluoroethoxy analogs, and evaluated their potential for positron emission tomography studies. [(11)C]SA4503 is most selective for sigma(1) receptors, and the other five showed affinities for sigma(1) and sigma(2) receptors with a different extent. All radioligands showed the receptor-specific binding in the brain, and visualized similar regional brain distributions by ex vivo autoradiography. The [(11)C]ethoxy analogs were relatively labile for metabolism.

Abstract
1-[(3R,4R)-1-cyclooctylmethyl-3-hydroxymethyl-4-piperidyl]-3-[(11)C]ethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one ([(11)C]CPEB) was synthesized by [(11)C]N-ethylation and evaluated as a potential brain ORL1 receptor imaging agent by positron emission tomography. The uptake of [(11)C]CPEB in the mouse brain was 1.9% dose/g, 2 min post-injection, and gradually decreased with time. Receptor-specific binding was observed, however, the contribution of other receptors was observed and the non-specific binding of [(11)C]CPEB was too high for imaging receptors in vivo. Therefore, [(11)C]CPEB is not a suitable tracer for in vivo ORL1 receptor imaging.

Abstract
We prepared 5-HT(1A) receptor ligands (S)-N-[[1-(2-phenylethyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]methyl]-3-[11C]methylthiobenzamide ([11C](S)-PPMMB) (Ki = 4.3 nM) and the less active [(11)C](R)-PPMMB (Ki = 160 nM) by reduction of the disulfide dimer and subsequent [(11)C]methylation of demethyl (S)- and (R)-PPMMB, respectively. Both radioligands showed similar brain distribution in mice with relatively higher affinity for the hippocampus being rich in 5-HT(1A) receptors than for other brain regions. Uptake of [(11)C](S)-PPMMB was not reduced by carrier-loading nor by pretreatment with 5-HT(1A) receptor ligands. [(11)C](S)-PPMMB is therefore not a suitable radioligand for mapping 5-HT(1A) receptors using positron emission tomography.

Abstract
HPLC separation of either [11C]beta-CFT or [11C]beta-CIT from the N-desmethyl precursor greatly depended on the ODS column used and the pH of the phosphate buffer in the mobile phase. The separation was accomplished on the semipreparative reversed phase ODS column without end-capping treatment over a pH ranging from 6.4 to 9.2, but failed on the end-capped ODS column. This suggests that the presence of residual silanol groups on the ODS is an important factor for the separation.

Abstract
The potential of a 11C-labeled selective sigma1 receptor ligand, 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-4-[3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)propyl]piperazine ([11C]SA6298), was evaluated as a positron emission tomography (PET) ligand for mapping sigma, receptors in the central nervous system and peripheral organs. [11C]SA6298 was synthesized by methylation of the desmethyl SA6298 with [11C]CH3I, with the decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 39 +/- 5% based on [11C]CH3I and with the specific activity of 53 +/- 17 TBq/mmol within 20 min from end of bombardment (EOB). In mice, the uptake of [11C]SA6298 was significantly decreased by carrier loading in the brain, liver, spleen, heart, lung, small intestine, and kidney in which sigma receptors are present as well as in the skeletal muscle. Pretreatment with SA6298 also blocked the uptake of [11C]SA6298 by these organs except for the small intestine, but significant displacement of [11C]SA6298 by posttreatment with SA6298 was observed only in the heart, lung, and muscle. In the blocking study with one of the eight sigma receptor ligands, including haloperidol, SA6298, NE-100, (+)-pentazocine, SA4503, (-)-pentazocine, (+)-3-PPP, and (+)-SKF 10,047 (in the order of the affinity for sigma1 receptor subtype), only SA6298 and an analog SA4503 significantly reduced the brain uptake of [11C]SA6298 to approximately 80% of the control, but the other six ligands did not. Peripherally, the uptake of [11C]SA6298 by the organs described above was decreased predominantly by SA6298 or SA4503, but the blocking effects of the other five ligands except for NE-100 depended on their affinity for sigma1 receptors. The saturable brain uptake of [11C]SA6298, approximately 20%, was also observed by tissue dissection method in rats and by PET in a cat. Ex vivo autoradiography of the rat brain showed a high uptake in the cortex and thalamus. In the cat brain a relatively high uptake was found in the cortex, thalamus, striatum, and cerebellum. These results have indicated a receptor-mediated uptake of the tracer to some extent in the brain and peripheral organs. However, the tracer has a limited potential for the PET study of the brain receptors because of a relatively high nonspecific binding.

We prepared [11C]raclopride by methylation of a small amount of desmethyl derivative (0.3-0.5 mg) with [11C]methyl iodide in a DMF solution containing NaH, with a decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 11-14% based on [11C]methyl iodide and with a specific activity of 48 TBq/mmol for 25 min from EOB. The reaction was reproducible and reliable.

Abstract
N,N-Dipropyl-2-[4-methoxy-3-(2-phenylethoxy)phenyl]ethylamine (NE-100) was labeled with 11C in two different positions by the alkylation of an N-despropyl precursor with [11C]propyl iodide and of an O-desmethyl precursor with [11C]methyl iodide and was evaluated for the potential as a tracer for mapping sigma 1 receptors in the CNS and peripheral organs by PET. Following i.v. injection of [N-propyl-11C]NE-100 or [O-methyl-11C]NE-100 into mice, the two tracers showed similar tissue distribution patterns except for the liver and brain. With the coinjected carrier NE-100 or haloperidol, the uptake of [N-propyl-11C]NE-100 by the liver, pancreas and spleen was significantly decreased at 15 min after injection, whereas the effect was not significant for [O-methyl-11C]NE-100. The coinjection of NE-100 enhanced the brain uptake of the two tracers. Haloperidol also enhanced the brain uptake of [N-propyl-11C]NE-100, but not that of [O-methyl-11C]NE-100. The regional brain distribution assessed with [O-methyl-3H]NE-100 was consistent with the distribution pattern of the sigma receptors. Four sigma drugs reduced the regional brain uptake of [O-methyl-3H]NE-100 to 70%-90% of the control. In an ex vivo autoradiographic study of the rat brain, the uptake of [O-methyl-11C]NE-100 was blocked by carrier NE-100 or haloperidol (53%-59% of the control in the cortex), which suggests a receptor-specific distribution. These results show that [O-methyl-11C]NE-100 has limited potential as a PET ligand for mapping sigma 1 receptors in the peripheral organs and the CNS because of high nonspecific binding.

Abstract
Analysis of carbon-11 labeled metabolites in plasma was carried out during positron emission tomography (PET) studies with a central benzodiazepine receptor ligand [11C]flumazenil ([11C]FMZ) in 24 human subjects (14-76 y.o.) including five normal volunteers and 19 patients with neurological disorders. Arterial plasma samples were obtained at 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 min after i.v. injection of the tracer, and were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The rate of plasma [11C]FMZ degradation was associated with a large individual variation, but no significant difference was found in the degradation of [11C]FMZ either between male and female, young and old, or between normal subjects and patient groups. When the mean fraction of unchanged [11C]FMZ at each time point was used instead of individually measured metabolite data for the arterial input function, as much as a 30% error occurred in the distribution volume of the [11C]FMZ binding in the brain. These results indicate that the mean percentage of unchanged [11C]FMZ fraction in subjects cannot be used as the standardized value, and that the analysis of metabolites in plasma is necessary to determine the exact arterial input function for quantitative PET measurement.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of reserpine treatment on the striatal uptake of a radiolabeled dopamine D2-like receptor ligand nemonapride (NEM). In mice, the uptake of the [3H]NEM in the striatum, cortex and cerebellum was enhanced by the reserpine pretreatment. Neither the ratio of striatum to cerebellum nor that to cortex was affected by the reserpine pretreatment. In rats, ex vivo autoradiography showed no effect of the reserpine treatment on the striatal uptake of [11C]NEM or the striatum to cortex ratio. The results suggest that the receptor binding of NEM was not significantly influenced by reserpine-induced depletion of endogenous dopamine probably because of its high affinity for the receptors.

Abstract
An 11C-labeled selective adenosine A2A antagonist, (E)-8-(3,4-dimethoxystyryl)-1,3-dipropyl-7-[11C]-methylxanthine ([11C]KF17837), was prepared by reaction of (E)-8-(3,4-dimethoxystyryl)-1,3-dipropylxanthine and [11C]methyl iodide with decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 19-50%, radiochemical purity of > 99%, sp. act. of 17-100 GBq/mumol and preparation time of 20-25 min. In mice, the myocardium showed the highest (13.4% ID/g) at 5 min after i.v. injection, which decreased gradually with time. The specific myocardial uptake was visualized by gamma-camera. In the brain region the radioactivity level was higher in the A2A receptors-rich striatum than in the cortex and cerebellum. The specific striatal uptake in rats was clearly demonstrated by PET. These results have shown that [11C]KF17837 is a potential PET radioligand for mapping the adenosine A2A receptors in the heart and brain.

Abstract
For imaging CNS 5-HT3 receptors by PET, a high affinity 5-HT3 receptor ligand, endo-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl 2-(n-propyloxy)-4-quinolinecarboxylate (KF17643), have been labeled with 11C. N-Methylation of the desmethyl compound with [11C]methyl iodide followed by HPLC separation produced [11C]KF17643 with the decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 19-28%, the specific activity of 7.5-49 GBq/mumol and the radiochemical purity of > 99% at 35-40 min from EOB. After i.v. injection of [11C]KF17643 into mice, it was taken by the brain at a high level and was stable for metabolism, but no sign for the 5-HT3 receptor selectivity was found in the brain tissues by the tissue sampling and autoradiography, probably because of large non-specific binding. The [11C]KF17643 was not suitable as a PET ligand for mapping the CNS 5-HT3 receptors.

Abstract
As a radioligand for mapping the presynaptic adenosine A1 receptors in the central nervous system by PET, [1-propyl-11C]8-dicyclopropylmethyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine ([11C]KF15372), a selective adenosine A1 antagonist, was prepared by the reaction of 8-dicyclopropylmethyl-3-propylxanthine and [11C]propyl iodide with decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 5% based on the [11C]propyl iodide, radiochemical purity of > 99%, sp. at. of 10-56 GBq/mumol and preparation time of 45-55 min. Another 11C-labeled A1 antagonist with much lower affinity for the A1 receptors, 7-[11C]methyl-KF15372 ([11C]KF17109), was also prepared using [11C]methyl iodide with a decay-corrected radiochemical yield of > 50%. In mice, the brain uptake of [11C]KF15372 (1.91% ID/g at 5 min) decreased gradually with time. Carrier KF15372 competitively reduced the brain uptake to a level (43% of the control) comparable to the brain uptake of [11C]KF17109. On the other hand, an A2 antagonist 3,7-dimethyl-1-propargylxanthine showed no effect on the brain uptake of [11C]KF15372. The results show that [11C]KF15372 has potential as a PET radioligand for mapping the adenosine A1 receptors and that [11C]KF17109 may be a reference compound reflecting the non-specific uptake of the [11C]KF15372.

Abstract
Two high-affinity 5-HT3 receptor ligands, Y-25130 and YM 060, have been labeled with 11C for use in PET studies to measure 5-HT3 receptors. The [11C]Y-25130 was prepared by N-methylation of nor-Y-25130-BH3 complex with [11C]CH3I in the presence of K2CO3 followed by HCl hydrolysis. Likewise, N-methylation of nor-YM060 gave [11C]YM060. After HPLC separation, the decay-corrected radiochemical yield of the two 11C-labeled ligands was 34-40% based on [11C]CH3I, the specific activity was 10-12 GBq/mumol at 35-40 min from EOB, and the radiochemical and chemical purities were > 99%. In mice, the brain uptake of the two compounds was the lowest among the tissues investigated, but the level of the brain radioactivity increased with time.
