Recently, we reported a novel naphthyrid-2-one based positron-emission tomography (PET) radioligand for imaging of the CB2R in the brain (<strong>[<sup>18</sup>F]5</strong>). In this study we aimed at the development of a novel <sup>18</sup>F-labeled CB2R radioligand with improved binding properties and metabolic stability. Starting from the structure of <strong>5</strong>, we developed a novel series of fluorinated derivatives by modifying the substituents at the naphthyrid-2-one subunit. Compound <strong>28</strong> (<strong>LU13</strong>) was identified with the highest binding affinity and selectivity versus CB1R (CB2R<em>K</em><sub>i</sub> = 0.6 nM; CB1R<em>K</em><sub>i</sub>/CB2R<em>K</em><sub>i</sub> > 1000) and was selected for radiolabeling with <sup>18</sup>F and biological characterization. The radiofluorination was performed starting from the corresponding bromo-precursor (<strong>31</strong>) bearing a fully deuterated <em>N</em>-alkyl chain to protect against defluorination. The in vitro evaluation of <strong>[<sup>18</sup>F]LU13 </strong>proved the high binding affinity of the radioligand towards rat (rCB2R<em>K</em><sub>D</sub> = 0.2 nM) and human (hCB2R<em>K</em><sub>D</sub> = 1.1 nM) CB2R. Metabolism studies in mice revealed a metabolic stability at 30 min p.i. with fractions of parent compound of >80% in the brain and 90% in the spleen with only trace of defluorination products detected in plasma. PET imaging in a rat model of vector-based/related overexpression in the striatum revealed a high signal to background ratio, demonstrating the ability of <strong>[<sup>18</sup>F]LU13</strong> to reach and selectively label the hCB2R in the brain. Thus, <strong>[<sup>18</sup>F]LU13 </strong>is a novel and highly promising PET radioligand for the imaging of up regulated CB2R expression under pathological conditions in the brain.</p>" }
