Abstract
Carbon-11-labeled nimesulide analogs, N-[11C]methyl-N-(2-benzyloxy-4-nitrophenyl)methanesulfonamide ([11C]4a), N-[11C]methyl-N-[2-(4′-methylbenzyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]methanesulfonamide ([11C]4b), N-[11C]methyl-N-[2-(4′-fluorobenzyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]methanesulfonamide ([11C]4c), N-[11C]methyl-N-[2-(4′-nitrobenzyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]methanesulfonamide ([11C]8a), N-[11C]methyl-N-[2-(β-naphthylmethoxy)-4-nitrophenyl]methanesulfonamide ([11C]8b), and N-[11C]methyl-N-[2-(2′-phenylbenzyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]methanesulfonamide ([11C]8c), have been synthesized as new potential positron emission tomography (PET) selective aromatase expression regulator (SAER) radiotracers for imaging of aromatase expression in breast cancer. The target tracers were prepared by N-[11C]methylation of their corresponding precursors using [11C]CH3OTf under basic conditions (NaH) and isolated by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method in 30–50% radiochemical yields decay corrected to end of bombardment (EOB) with 25–30 min overall synthesis time and 111–148 GBq/μmol specific activity at end of synthesis (EOS).
