Abstract:Novel radiolabeled O(6)-benzylguanine (O(6)-BG) derivatives, 6-O-(11)C]-(methoxymethyl)benzyl]guanines ((11)C]p-O(6)-MMBG, 1a; (11)C]m-O(6)-MMBG, 1b; (11)C]o-O(6)-MMBG, 1c), 2-amino-6-O-(11)C]-(methoxymethyl)benzyloxy]-9-methyl purines ((11)C]p-O(6)-AMMP, 2a; (11)C]m-O(6)-AMMP, 2b; (11)C]o-O(6)-AMMP, 2c), 2-amino-6-O-(11)C]-(methoxymethyl)benzyloxy]-9-benzyl purines ((11)C]p-O(6)-AMBP, 3a; (11)C]m-O(6)-AMBP, 3b; (11)C]o-O(6)-AMBP, 3c), 2-amino-6-O-benzyloxy-9-(11)C]-(methoxycarbonyl)methyl]purine ((11)C]ABMMP, 4), and 2-amino-6-O-benzyloxy-9-(11)C]-(4'-methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]purine ((11)C]ABMBP, 5), have been synthesized for evaluation as potential novel positron emission tomography tumor imaging agents. The ability of O(6)-BG analogs to penetrate the blood--brain barrier in brain tumor could be due, at least in part, to their lipophilicity. In this paper, we measured lipophilicity coefficients (log P) of compounds 1--5 by the C(18) HPLC method. These log P values were compared, and correlations between lipophilicity and biological activity of selected analogs were made. The results suggest the appropriate level of lipophilic character in this class of compounds as useful imaging agents appears to be in the range of 1.4--2.6.
