Abstract

Derivatives of 9,10-ethanobenzo[b]quinolizinium are potent antagonists for the TCP-site of the NMDA receptor. Two fluoroethyl-substituted analogues were labelled with fluorine-18 by displacement of the tosylate with [18F]fluoride, followed by a Diels-Alder reaction. A methoxy-substituted analogue labelled with carbon-11 was obtained by O-methylation of the corresponding hydroxy precursor with [11C]iodomethane. In biodistribution studies in mice with these three radioligands, it was found that they have little ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier.
