In the search of new probes for in vivo brain imaging of vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2), we have developed an efficient synthesis of a novel series of 3-alkyl-dihydrotetrabenazine (DTBZ) derivatives. The affinity of VMAT2 was evaluated by an in vitro inhibitory binding assay using [125I]-iodovinyl-TBZ or [18F](+)-FP-DTBZ as radioligands in rat striatal tissue homogenates. New DTBZ derivatives exhibited moderate to good binding affinity to VMAT2. Among these new ligands, compound4bshowed the best affinity for VMAT2 (Ki= 5.98 nM) and may be a useful lead compound for future structure–activity studies.
