Synthesis and characterization of a new Positron emission tomography probe for orexin 2 receptors neuroimaging
2022, Bioorganic ChemistryCitation Excerpt :For example, Watanabe et al. reported F18-labeled tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives OX1R PET tracers with low brain uptake in the brain of mice.[20] The carbon-11 labeled OX2R PET radioligands, including [11C]CW4[21], [11C]EMPA[22], and [11C]9a[23] exhibited either limited brain uptake or unexpected non-specific binding in rodents and non-human primates (NHP) studies, which impeded their further translation for OX2R imaging. Recently, we have reported a non-selective OXRs PET radioligand [11C]CW24 with good brain uptake in rodents and NHP.[24]

2020, Advances in Heterocyclic ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Thus, the orexin-2 receptor ligand 176 has been labeled in good formulated yield through O-methylation of an α-hydroxy-pyridinyl precursor 175 with [11C]methyl iodide in DMF with aqueous potassium carbonate as base (Scheme 57) (2013JMC6371). Other base-solvent pairs have been successful for similar 11C-O-methylation reactions, including solid potassium hydroxide-acetonitrile (2005NMB631) and cesium carbonate-DMF (2013BMCL3389). An effective radioligand for studying β-amyloid in AD, [11C]AZD4694 ([11C]3), has been synthesized in high formulated yield through N-methylation of nor-precursor 177 with [11C]methyl iodide and solid potassium hydroxide in DMF followed by acid removal of the ethoxymethyl (EOM) protecting group (Scheme 58) (2014MIB173).
Molecular modeling technology studies of novel pyrazoylethylbenzamide derivatives as selective orexin receptor 1 antagonists
2019, Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical EngineersCitation Excerpt :EMPA, JNJ-10397049, MK-3697, and JNJ-42847922 are 2-SORAs. Some of the 2-SORAs are inefficient, for example, EMPA showed poor uptake in brain in rats and baboon [18]. At present, research on OX1R antagonists that play an important role in sleep-wake effect is still in its infancy.
