In vitro evaluation of radioiodinated butyrophenones as radiotracer for dopamine receptor study

Journal Article · · Life Sci.; (United States)
Radioiodinated butyrophenone compounds are attracting the interest of those working on dopamine receptor studies; structure-activity relationship study has revealed the ortho position of the p-fluorobutyrophenone moiety as a very plausible iodination site. Various synthesized butyrophenones iodinated at the ortho position of p-fluorobutyrophenone moiety, 2'-iodohaloperidol (2'-IHP), 2'-iodotrifluperidol (2'-ITP) and 2'-iodospiperone (2'-ISP) were tested for their abilities to inhibit /sup 3/H-spiperone (SP) binding for the dopamine (D-2) receptor, together with reference compounds (SP, haloperidol(HP) and 4-iodospiperone (4-ISP)). The order of binding affinity of the tested compounds was SP > 2'-ISP > HP > 4-ISP > 2'-IHP > 2'-ITP. Whereas, the serotonin (S-2) receptor binding affinity of SP and its iodinated analogues were in the order of SP >> 4-ISP > 2'-ISP. These data indicated the 2'-ISP as holding high affinity for dopamine receptors and a low affinity for serotonin receptors. Thus, the /sup 125/I-2'-ISP was a very potent radioligand for in vitro dopamine (D-2) receptor studies, and /sup 123/I-2'-ISP holds very promising characteristics as for in vivo dopamine receptor studies, as well.
