Description

The preparation and synthesis of [125I]7α-0-iodoallyl diprenorphine, a high affinity opioid receptor antagonist, is described using a versatile vinylstannane as prosthetic group for radioiodination at the tertiary alcohol group in the 7α-side chain. Radioiododestannylation with selective conditions in one step occurs under mild, no-carrier-added-conditions to give the corresponding [125I]7α-0-iodoallyl diprenorphine analogue in good radiolabelled yields (70-90%) with specific radioactivity 80 TBq/mmol (2200 Ci/mmol) and radiochemical purity >95%. Iodoallyl diprenorphine exhibited in vitro a very high affinity (Ki=0.4 nM), so that this radioligand could be suitable for imaging opioid receptors in living humans by Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).
