title: Synthesis of radioiodinated analogs of 2-(4-phenylpiperidino)cyclohexanol (vesamicol) as vesamicol-like agent.
abstract: Three iodovesamicol analogs, iodinated at the ortho, meta, and para positions of the 4-phenylpiperidine moiety, were synthesized and labeled with 125I by isotopic exchange reaction. Their potencies as a vesamicol-like drug were evaluated with competitive inhibition studies using (-)[3H]vesamicol. The radiochemical yields were 40-85%, the radiochemical purities exceeded 95% and their specific activities were 370-740 GBq/mmol. The descending order of binding affinity of the tested compounds against the vesamicol receptor was m-iodovesamicol > o-iodovesamicol > p-iodovesamicol. The receptor binding affinity of m-iodovesamicol (IC50 = 133 nM) was comparable with that of vesamicol (IC50 = 109 nM). Therefore, the meta position of the 4-phenylpiperidinyl fragment of vesamicol was the optimum site for iodination, and radioiodinated m-iodovesamicol may serve as a useful radiopharmaceutical for in vitro and in vivo studies of presynaptic cholinergic neurons in rats.
