8-Cyclopentyl-3-(3-[18F]fluoropropyl)-1-propylxanthine
([18F]CPFPX) is an established receptor ligand to examine
cerebral adenosine A1 receptors in humans by
positron-emission-tomography (PET) [1]. A large drawback of
this compound is its short biological half-life of about
only ten minutes in human blood plasma [2]. Therefore
alternative, slower metabolizing 18F-labelled adenosine A1
receptor ligands for in vivo imaging were developed, while
maintaining a high affinity. Methods The binding affinity of
various xanthine derivatives to the adenosine A1 receptor
was examined. Based on these studies as well as the results
of in-house studies on metabolites, the xanthine derivatives
8-cyclobutyl-1-cyclopropymethyl-3-(3-fluoropropyl)xanthine
(1) and
1-cyclopropylmethyl-3-(3-fluoropropyl)-8-(1-methylcyclobutyl)xanthine
(2) were designed as alternatives of CPFPX. After synthesis
of these compounds, their affinity to the adenosine A1
receptor was investigated by competitive assays. The
mesylate derivatives were synthesized as precursors for
nucleophilic 18F-labelling and the radiofluorinated ligands
were used for autoradiographic studies. Furthermore, the
metabolism of 1 and 2 was examined in vitro using human
liver microsomes. Results The new xanthine derivatives were
synthesized in 13 steps with total yields of 1.8 $\%$ (1)
and 1.5 $\%$ (2). In binding studies both compounds showed
nanomolar affinities to the adenosine A1 receptor.
[18F]CBCPM was obtained by radiofluorination with a
radiochemical yield of 21.3 ± 3.8 $\%$ and a molar activity
of 12.3 ± 0.2 GBq/µmol. In case of [18F]CPMMCB, a
radiochemical yield of 14.4 ± 2.5 $\%$ and a molar activity
of 36.5 ± 1.1 GBq/µmol could be achieved. In vitro
autoradiography with brain slices of rat showed for both
compounds the expected enrichment in regions known to have a
high adenosine A1 receptor expression, while exhibiting the
necessary low unspecific binding. Further studies proved a
significantly slower metabolism in vitro of both new
xanthine derivatives than CPFPX. Conclusions Two new
radiofluorinated affine and specific xanthine derivatives
were developed as possible radioligands for the adenosine A1
receptor with a distinct higher stability than CPFPX.
