  • Title: Synthesis of [(11)C]MK-1064 as a new PET radioligand for imaging of orexin-2 receptor.
    Author: Gao M, Wang M, Zheng QH.
    Journal: Bioorg Med Chem Lett; 2016 Aug 01; 26(15):3694-9. PubMed ID: 27268698.
    Abstract:
    The reference standard MK-1064 {5″-chloro-N-((5,6-dimethoxypyridin-2-yl)methyl)-[2,2':5',3″-terpyridine]-3'-carboxamide} was synthesized from methyl 2-chloro-5-iodonicotinate and 5-(chloropyridin-3-yl)boronic acid in 4 steps with 33% overall chemical yield. The precursor desmethyl-MK-1064 {5″-chloro-N-((5-hydroxy-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)methyl)-[2,2':5',3″-terpyridine]-3'-carboxamide} for radiolabeling was synthesized from 2-bromopyridin-3-ol and 5″-chloro-[2,2':5',3″-terpyridine]-3'-carboxylic acid in 6 steps with 17% overall chemical yield. The target tracer [(11)C]MK-1064 {5″-chloro-N-((5-[(11)C]methoxy-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)methyl)-[2,2':5',3″-terpyridine]-3'-carboxamide} was prepared by O-[(11)C]methylation of its corresponding precursor desmethyl-MK-1064 with [(11)C]CH3OTf under basic condition and isolated by a simplified solid-phase extraction (SPE) method in 50-60% decay corrected radiochemical yields based on [(11)C]CO2 at end of bombardment (EOB). The overall synthesis time from EOB was 23min, the radiochemical purity was >99%, and the specific activity at end of synthesis (EOS) was 185-555GBq/μmol.
