Abstract

[18F]AM694, [1-(5-[ 18F]fluoropentyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-(2-iodophenyl)methanone, 1b, a potential radiotracer for imaging of cerebral cannabinoid receptor (CB 1), has been synthesized by no-carrier-added regioselective radiofluorination of the corresponding tosylate. [18F]AM694 was obtained in 20% radiochemical yield (non-decay-corrected) with a specific activity of 14 500mCi/μmol, a radiochemical purity of >99%, and a chemical purity of 95.5%.
