represent leads for tumor diagnosis, given their high affinity at s2 receptors. With the purpose of obtaining good candidates for s2 PET tracers development, hybrid structures between 1 and 2 were designed.
Excellent s1/s2 selectivities were reached when 6,7-dimethoxytetrahydroisoquinolinewas linked to an omethoxysubstituted arylamide (11a, 12a, 15a), and for these benzamides an intramolecular H-bond in the active conformation at the s sites, was hypothesized. However these excellent s2 ligands were accompanied by interaction with P-gp, which may limit their use as s2 receptor PET agents when tumors overexpress P-gp. Compound 15a whose P-gp interaction was just moderate represents an interesting tool for the development of s2 PET tracers useful in tumors overexpressing P-gp.
