Abstract

[11C]-labeled form of ten A2a adenosine receptor specific 8-styryl-7-methyl-xanthine derivatives ([11C]-caffeines) were synthesised by N-methylation of the corresponding 8-styryl-xanthine derivatives using [11C]-methyl iodide in optimized reaction conditions. The results show that the [11C]-methylations take place with excellent radiochemical yields (35–93%), and can be utilised easily in online preparations. These labeled ligands may facilitate the positron emission tomographic (PET) investigation of adenosine A2a receptors.
