Abstract

(±) 3-(6-Nitro-2-quinolinyl)-[9-methyl-11C]-3,9-diazabicyclo-[4.2.1]- nonane ([11C-methyl]NS 4194), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), was synthesised within 35 min after end of bombardment with a radiochemical purity > 98%. It had a decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 7% after preparative HPLC, and a specific radioactivity around 37 GBq/μmol (EOS). A typical production starting with 40 GBq [11C]CO2 yielded 800 MBq of radiolabelled [11C-methyl]NS 4194 in a formulated solution. The synthesis of the precursor to [11C-methyl]NS 4194, (±) 9-H-3-[6-nitro-(2-quinolinyl)]-3,9-diazabicyclo-[4.2.1]-nonane, as well as the unlabelled analogue (±) 9-methyl 3-[6-nitro-(2-quinolinyl)]-3,9-diazabicyclo-[4.2.1]-nonane (NS 4194), are also described.
