✦ Synopsis
The radiosyntheses of the dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel blockers [IlCInifedipine and [I 1Clnicardipine by alkylation of the appropriate DHP 3-monocarboxylic acid anion with [ 11CIiodomethane are described. Isolated radiochemical yields of 30-50% were obtained 25 minutes after the end-of-bombardment, with specific activities of 400-1400 mCi/pmol at the end-of-synthesis. A variety of positron emitting DHPs with different ester side chains in the 3 and 5 positions on the DHP ring may be prepared by this approach using currently available labelled alkylating agents.
