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 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…
