Abstract
2-(2-Furanyl)-7-[2-[4-[4-(2-[C-11]methoxyethoxy)phenyl]-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]7H-pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine-5-amine [(11)C]-3 ([C-11]Preladenant) was developed for mapping cerebral adenosine A2A receptors (A2ARs) with PET. The tracer was synthesized in high specific activity and purity. Tissue distribution was studied by PET imaging, ex vivo biodistribution (BD), and in vitro autoradiography (ARG) experiments. Regional brain uptake of [C-11]-3 was consistent with known A(2A)Rs distribution, with highest uptake in striatum. The results indicate that [C-11]-3 has favorable brain kinetics and exhibits suitable characteristics as an A(2A)R PET tracer.
