- Development of a carbon-11 PET radiotracer for imaging TRPC5 in the brain
-
The transient receptor potential channel subfamily member 5 (TRPC5) is a calcium permeable cation channel widely expressed in the brain. Accumulating evidence indicates that it plays a crucial role in psychiatric disorders including depression and anxiety. Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with a TRPC5 specific radioligand may provide a unique tool to investigate the functions of TRPC5 in animal disease models to guide drug development targeting TRPC5. To develop a TRPC5 PET radiotracer, the potent TRPC5 inhibitor HC608 was chosen for C-11 radiosynthesis through the N-demethyl amide precursor 7 reacting with [11C]methyl iodide. Under optimized conditions, [11C]HC608 was achieved with good radiochemical yield (25 ± 5%), high chemical and radiochemical purity (>99%), and high specific activity (204-377 GBq μmol-1, decay corrected to the end of bombardment, EOB). The in vitro autoradiography study revealed that [11C]HC608 specifically binds to TRPC5. Moreover, initial in vivo evaluation of [11C]HC608 performed in rodents and the microPET study in the brain of non-human primates further demonstrated that [11C]HC608 was able to penetrate the blood brain barrier and sufficiently accumulate in the brain. These results suggest that [11C]HC608 has the potential to be a PET tracer for imaging TRPC5 in vivo.

- Diversifying the xanthine scaffold for potential phosphodiesterase 9A inhibitors: synthesis and validation
-
Xanthine and its derivatives have been a great area of interest for the development of potent bioactive agents. In this study, two synthesis routes have been developed for 1,3,8-tri substituted xanthine derivatives. The synthesis routes exploits “xanthine” as precursor molecule as it represents maximum unsubstituted sites for maximum possible substitutions. This study divulged the reactivity pattern of three –NH groups at N1, N3 and N7 position of xanthine in the order of N7 > N3 > N1, which helped in carrying out regio-selective N-alkylation reaction at different –NH sites of xanthine. Selective protection and selective deprotection at N3 and/or N7 sites of xanthine were the key strategies for developing two synthesis schemes. Eight newly synthesized compounds C1-8 were evaluated for their biological activity against Phosphodiesterase 9A. All the compounds were found to be promising inhibitors. To gain further insight for mode of interaction with Phosphodiesterase 9A, these compounds were subjected to docking studies. The present study provides insight into the potential of ‘xanthine’ to contribute to the structural diversification of xanthine derivatives in the drug development process. Xanthine based chemical synthesis is shown to be a cost effective, fast, and highly productive method. This work can be extrapolated to find various selective xanthine based inhibitors targeting other enzymes. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
