Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Fluorinated Radioligands for Myelin Imaging
Myelination is one of the fundamental
processes in vertebrates.
A major challenge is to quantitatively image myelin distribution in
the central nervous system. For this reason, we designed and synthesized
a series of fluorinated radioligands that can be radiolabeled as radiotracers
for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of myelin. These newly
developed radioligands readily penetrate the blood–brain barrier
and selectively bind to myelin membranes in the white matter region.
Structure–activity relationship studies of such ligands suggested
that optimal permeability could be achieved with calculated lipophilicty
in the range of 3–4. After radiolabeling with fluorine-18,
the brain uptake and retention of each radioligand were determined
by microPET/CT imaging studies. These pharmacokinetic studies led
us to identify a lead compound ([<sup>18</sup>F]ÂFMeDAS, <b>32</b>) with promising in vivo binding properties, which was subsequently
validated by ex vivo autoradiography

Discovery of 1,2,3-Triazole Derivatives for Multimodality PET/CT/Cryoimaging of Myelination in the Central Nervous System
Myelin pathology is present in many
neurological conditions such
as multiple sclerosis (MS) and traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
To facilitate development of novel therapies aimed at myelin repair,
we set out to develop imaging agents that permit direct quantification
of myelination in vivo. In this work, we designed and synthesized
a series of fluorescent fluorinated myelin imaging agents that can
be used for in vivo positron emission tomography (PET) imaging combined
with subsequent post-mortem fluorescent cryoimaging. Structure–activity
relationship (SAR) studies of the newly developed myelin imaging agents
led us to identify a lead compound (TAFDAS, <b>21</b>) that
readily enters the brain and spinal cord and selectively binds to
myelin. By conducting sequential PET and 3D cryoimaging in an SCI
rat model, we demonstrated for the first time that PET and cryoimaging
can be combined as a novel technique to image the spinal cord with
high sensitivity and spatial resolution
