Abstract:
PET with selective adenosine 2A receptor (A
2A) radiotracers can be used to study a neurodegenerative disorders in vivo and to diagnose of PD. The PET radiotracer
11C-KW6002 for imaging A
2A was synthesized and evaluated, in normal and PD module rats. The results showed that the labeling yield was 56% (decay corrected yield,
n=3) when
11CH
3-Triflate reacted with nor-KW6002 under NaOH. The radiochemical purity of product was 99.5% with specific activity of 1.5×10
14 Bq/g. The balance of radioactivity in striatum was observed in normal rats with microPET. A significant raised radioactivity on the striatum of lesion compared with the normal side. The radioactivity was found absence on the striatum of lesion with
11C-CFT.
11C-KW6002 is a potential PET radiotracer for imaging A
2A.
