there is an accumulating body of evidence implicating the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor4(M4)in schizophrenia and dementia with Lewy bodies,however,a clinically validated M4positron emission tomography(PEt)radioligand is currently *** such,the aim of this study was to develop a suitable M4PEt ligand that allows the non-invasive visualization of M4in the ***-activity relationship studies of pyrazol-4-yl-pyridine derivates led to the discovery of target compound 12—a subtype-selective positive allosteric modulator(PAM).the radiofluorinated analogue,[18F]12,was synthesized in 28±10%radiochemical yield,>37 GBq/μmol and an excellent radiochemical purity>99%.Initial in vitro autoradiograms on rodent brain sections were performed in the absence of carbachol and showed moderate specificity as well as a low selectivity of[18F]12 for the M4-rich ***,in the presence of carbachol,a significant increase in tracer binding was observed in the rat striatum,which was reduced by>60%under blocking conditions,thus indicating that orthosteric ligand interaction is required for efficient binding o f[18F]12 to the allosteric ***,however,the presence of carbachol was not required for high specific binding in the non-human primate(NHP)and human striatum,and did not further improve the specificity and selectivity of[18F]12 in higher *** results pointed towards significant species-differences and paved the way for a preliminary PEt study in NHP,where peak brain uptake of[18F]12 was found in the putamen and temporal *** conclusion,we report on the identification and preclinical development of the first radiofluorinated M4PEt radioligand with promising *** availability of a clinically validated M4PEt radioligand harbors potential to facilitate drug development and provide a useful diagnostic tool for non-invasive imaging.
