Abstract
In order to develop radiopharmaceuticals for targeting a serotonin receptor such as 5-HT1A, histidine-Cnarylpiperazines (AP) (C = alkyl, n = 2, 3, 4) were prepared in five steps with yields of 25%, 37% and 51%, respectively, and radiolabeled with the [99mTc(CO)3(H2O)3]+. The 99mTc(CO)3-Histidine-Cn-APs were prepared with a high yield (>99%) and characterized as a tridentate complex with a neutral charge to pass through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The rhenium complexes with Re(CO)3 were also synthesised and comparative experiments were achieved to evaluate the nature of the 99mTc complexes.
