    AbstractDAA1106 (N-(2,5-dimethoxybenzyl)-N-(5-fluoro-2-phenoxyphenyl)acetamide), is a potent and selective ligand for the translocator protein (18 kDa, TSPO) in brain mitochondrial fractions of rats and monkey (Ki = 0.043 and 0.188 nM, respectively). In this study, to translate [18F]DAA1106 for clinical studies, we performed automated syntheses of [18F]DAA1106 using the spirocyclic iodonium ylide (1) as a radiolabelling precursor and conducted preclinical studies including positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of TSPO in ischemic rat brains. Radiofluorination of the ylide precursor 1 with [18F]F-, followed by HPLC separation and formulation, produced the [18F]DAA1106 solution for injection in 6% average (n = 10) radiochemical yield (based on [18F]F-) with >98% radiochemical purity and molar activity of 60-100 GBq/μmol at the end of synthesis. The synthesis time was 87 min from the end of bombardment. The automated synthesis achieved [18F]DAA1106 with sufficient radioactivity available for preclinical and clinical use. Biodistribution study of [18F]DAA1106 showed a low uptake of radioactivity in the mouse bones. Metabolite analysis showed that >96% of total radioactivity in the mouse brain at 60 min after the radiotracer injection was unmetabolized [18F]DAA1106. PET study of ischemic rat brains visualized ischemic areas with a high uptake ratio (1.9 ± 0.3) compared with the contralateral side. We have provided evidence that [18F]DAA1106 could be routinely produced for clinical studies.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
