In search of a serotonin 5-HT(7) radiotracer for positron emission tomography, we developed 1-[2-[(2S)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]ethyl]piperidin-4-yl 4-fluorobenzoate. After labeling in good yield with fluorine-18 via nitro for fluorine exchange, preliminary biological experiments with autoradiographies failed to evidence any specific 5-HT(7) receptor delineation.

Background: The 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HTR) family includes seven classes of receptors. The 5-HTR is the newest member of this family and contributes to different physiological and pathological processes. As a pathology, glioblastoma multiform (GBM) overexpresses 5-HTR; hence, this study aims to develop radiolabeled aryl piperazine derivatives as 5-HTR imaging agents.

With a poor prognosis, glioblastoma multiforme is the most aggressive tumor of the central nervous system in humans. The aim of this study was to develop novel tracers for the tumor targeting and imaging of overexpressed serotonin-7 receptors (5-HTRs) in U-87 MG glioma xenografted nude mice. Two phenylpiperazine derivatives named as and were designed, and the corresponding radiotracers Tc- and Tc- were synthesized in high radiochemical purity (>95%).

The serotonin 7 (5-HT ) receptor is suggested to be involved in a broad variety of CNS disorders, but very few in vivo tools exist to study this important target. Molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) would enable an in vivo characterization of the 5-HT receptor. However, no clinical PET radiotracer exists for this receptor, and thus we aimed to develop such a tracer.

Serotonergic dysfunction is thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia but the evidence has not been systematically synthesised before. We therefore systematically reviewed postmortem and in vivo molecular imaging studies of serotonin function in schizophrenia. We identified fifty relevant studies investigating eight different serotonin receptor systems in a total of 684 patients and 675 controls.

Introduction: The brain serotonin-7 receptor (5-HT7) is the most recently discovered serotonin receptor. It is targeted by several drug-candidates in psychopharmacology and neuropharmacology. In these fields, positron emission tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging modality offering great promise for accelerating the development process from preclinical discovery to clinical phases.
