title: Radioiodinated 2-hydroxy-3-(4-iodophenyl)-1-(4-phenylpiperidinyl)propane: potential radiotracer for mapping central cholinergic innervation in vitro.
abstract: Radioiodinated 2-hydroxy-3-(4-iodophenyl)-1-(4-phenylpiperidinyl)propane, 5 (4-HIPP), was synthesized and evaluated as a simple vesamicol-like radiotracer for mapping cholinergic pathways in the brain. Both enantiomers of 5 exhibit significant accumulation (approx. 2% of injected dose) and prolonged retention (t1/2 greater than 3 h) within the rat brain. The accumulation of radioiodinated 5 in the rat brain was reduced by up to 70% in the presence of vesamicol and its analogs. The levorotary isomer (-)-4-[123I]HIPP exhibits significant accumulation in the monkey brain, with a half-life of about 9 h. Radioiodinated 5 may therefore be a useful tool for studying cholinergic pathways in the brain.
