Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of [O-methyl-(11)C]1-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid piperidin-1-ylamide ([(11)C]-1), a potential imaging agent for CB(1) receptors using PET is described. 1-(2-Chlorophenyl)-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid piperidin-1-ylamide (5), the precursor for radiolabeling, was synthesized from 4-OTBDPS-propiophenone (2) in five steps with 30% overall yield. The reaction of alcohol 5 with [(11)C]MeOTf at 60 degrees C afforded [(11)C]-1 with an average radiochemical yield of 14.5% (EOS) and >2000 Ci/mmol specific activity. The radiotracer was found to selectively label CB(1) receptors in slide-mounted sections of postmortem human brain containing prefrontal cortex as demonstrated by in vitro autoradiography using phosphor imaging.

This paper describes the synthesis, early process development, salt selection strategies and pre clinical evaluation of novel, potent and selective CB1 antagonist, 8-Chloro-1-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-6-oxa-1,2-diaza-benzo[e]azulene-3-carboxylic acid piperidin-1-ylamide 1. The CB1 antagonism of compound 1 is also confirmed by reversal of CB1 agonist-induced hypothermia in Swiss albino mice. The process for the preparation of the compound 1 as a crystalline solid is also described.
