We found out 3-[5-(pyridin-2-yl)-2H-tetrazol-2-yl]benzonitrile analogs as the candidate for positron emission tomog. (PET) imaging agents of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5). Among these compounds, 3-methyl-5-(5-(pyridin-2-yl)-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)benzonitrile (I, X = CH3) exhibited high binding affinity (Ki = 9.4 nM) and moderate lipophilicity (cLogD, 2.4). Subsequently, I (X = 11CH3) was radiosynthesized at 25 ± 14% radiochem. yield (n = 11) via C-[11C]methylation of the arylstannyl precursor 15 with [11C]methyl iodide. In vitro autoradiog. and PET assessments using I (X = 11CH3) showed high specific binding in the striatum and hippocampus, two brain regions enriched with mGluR5. Moreover, test-retest PET studies with I (X = 11CH3) indicated high reliability to quantify mGluR5 d., such as the intraclass correlation coefficient (0.90) and Pearson r (0.91) in the striatum of rat brain. We demonstrated that I (X = 11CH3) is a useful PET ligand for imaging and quant. anal. of mGluR5. Furthermore, I (X = 11CH3) might be modified using its skeleton as a lead compound
