AB  - Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) play a key role in the metabolism of major monoamine neurotransmitters. In particular, the upregulation of MAO-B in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and cancer augmented the development of selective MAO-B inhibitors for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, such as the anti-parkinsonian MAO-B irreversible binder L-deprenyl (Selegiline®). Herein we report on the synthesis of novel fluorinated indanone derivatives for PET imaging of MAO-B in the brain. Out of our series, the derivatives 6, 8, 9 and 13 are amongst the most affine and selective ligands for MAO-B reported so far. For the derivative 6-((3-fluorobenzyl)oxy)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (6) exhibiting an outstanding affinity (Ki MAO-B = 6 nM), an automated copper-mediated radiofluorination starting from the pinacol boronic ester 17 is described. An in vitro screening in different species revealed a MAO-B region-specific accumulation of [18F]6 in rats and piglets in comparison to L-[3H]deprenyl. The pre-clinical in vivo assessment of [18F]6 in mice demonstrated the potential of indanones to readily cross the blood–brain barrier. Nonetheless, parallel in vivo metabolism studies indicated the presence of blood–brain barrier metabolites, thus arguing for further structural modifications. With the matching analytical profiles of the radiometabolite analysis from the in vitro liver microsome studies and the in vivo evaluation, the structure's elucidation of the blood–brain barrier penetrant radiometabolites is possible and will serve as basis for the development of new indanone derivatives suitable for the PET imaging of MAO-B.

AB  - Herein, we report on the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of ten novel fluorinated cinnamylpiperazines as potential monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) ligands. The designed derivatives consist of either cinnamyl or 2-fluorocinnamyl moieties connected to 2-fluoropyridylpiperazines. The three-step synthesis starting from commercially available piperazine afforded the final products in overall yields between 9% and 29%. An in vitro competitive binding assay using l-[3H]Deprenyl as radioligand was developed and the MAO-B binding affinities of the synthesized derivatives were assessed. Docking studies revealed that the compounds 8–17 were stabilized in both MAO-B entrance and substrate cavities, thus resembling the binding pose of l-Deprenyl. Although our results revealed that the novel fluorinated cinnamylpiperazines 8–17 do not possess sufficient MAO-B binding affinity to be eligible as positron emission tomography (PET) agents, the herein developed binding assay and the insights gained within our docking studies will certainly pave the way for further development of MAO-B ligands.

AB  - The aim of this study was to develop highly specific radiofluorinated ligands for quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) in brain. A series of 8 fluoro derivatives of 1-cinnamyl-4-arylpiperazine were synthesized by standard methods of organic synthesis. The affinity of the compounds was determined in a competitive binding assay using L-[3H] deprenyl as radioligand on rat brain homogenates. The KD of the radioligand was determined by homologous competition. An efficient, three-step procedure for the synthesis of the potential MAO-B ligands was developed. A competitive binding assay was established, using L-[3H]deprenyl as the radioligand, and rat brain membrane homogenate. The compounds were screened (three concentrations 10-9, 10-7 and 10-5) for their MAO-B affinity. We successfully synthesized a series of fluorinated MAO-B ligands. Unfortunately, their affinities toward MAO-B have proved to be rather low. To increase the affinity further modifications are needed.
