Abstract
Receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) has emerged as an important regulator of pathologic cell death and inflammation and is implicated in the pathologies of various central nervous system diseases. In this study, we reported the development of three potent dihydropyrazole-cored RIPK1 positron emission tomography (PET) ligands [18F]WL1-3. Among these, [18F]WL1 showed specific binding to RIPK1 in mouse brain sections in vitro through autoradiography and exhibited favorable brain kinetics in mice, characterized by a high initial uptake (brain2 min = 4.89% ID/g) and rapid washout (brain60 min = 0.21% ID/g). PET studies in rat brains revealed that [18F]WL1 could readily penetrate the brain with specific binding confirmed by inhibition effects of unlabeled WL1 and GSK'547. Notably, [18F]WL1 showed significant potential in imaging the alterations of RIPK1 in a rat brain of tumor necrosis factor α-induced systemic inflammatory response syndrome model. These findings may pave the way for the future design of potent RIPK1 PET ligands.
