摘要:
The invention relates to a new class of compounds able to bind with high affinity and selectivity the 5-HT7 receptor. The invention also relates to the utilization of such compounds as medicaments useful in the treatment and prevention of 5-HT7 receptor relating disorders of the central nervous system. The invention also relates to the isotopically labeled compounds for use in vivo diagnosis or imaging of a 5-HT7 condition.
摘要:
The invention includes a new class of radiolabeled compounds of formula I able to bind P-glycoprotein with high affinity and selectivity. The protein prevents accumulation in the brain of a wide range of drugs and, changes in P-gp expression and function, are also believed to occur in several neurological disorder, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Indeed, it is widely reported that decreased expression of P- gp and/or activity at the BBB level could cause accumulation of I3- amyloid plaques, the main hallmark of AD onset. 13-amyloid is a P-gp substrate, and these results support the importance of P-gp in the clearance of 13-amyloid peptide from brain parenchyma. For this reason, P-gp can be considered a useful biomarker for the early diagnosis of neurodegeneration. There is considerable interest in the development of P-gp PET radiotracers for imaging expression and function of P-gp. Formula I wherein the compound is labeled with an isotope selected from H, 11 C 14 C, 13 N, 150 18 F 19 F, 75 Br, 76 Br, 79 Br.
