Newest firstThe cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) is upregulated in the brain under pathological conditions. To distinguish between the healthy and disease states, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), as a noninvasive imaging technique, is employed, for which suitable highly affine and selective CB2R radioligands are required. The benzothiazole scaffold is a promising core structure that has been modified with different subst…
Open article record in new tab ↗The cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) is overexpressed under pathological conditions. Positron emission tomography is a noninvasive imaging technique for diagnosing disease states, but requires radiotracers with high affinity and selectivity towards CB2R. Currently, there is no suitable candidate routinely used in the clinics. The naphthyridinone scaffold, a promising core structure, has been modified in the past…
Open article record in new tab ↗The development of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) radioligands for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was intensively explored. To overcome the low metabolic stability and simultaneously increase the binding affinity of known CB2R radioligands, a carborane moiety was used as a bioisostere. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of carborane-based 1,8-naphthyridinones and thiazoles as novel C…
The development of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) PET radioligands has been intensively explored due to the pronounced CB2R upregulation under various pathological conditions. Herein, we report on the synthesis of a series of CB2R affine fluorinated indole-2-carboxamide ligands. Compound RM365 was selected for PET radiotracer development due to its high CB2R affinity (Ki = 2.1 nM) and selectivity over CB1R (fa…
