We report the synthesis and evaluation of 4-benzylpiperazine ligands (BP-CH3, BP-F, BP-Br, BP-I, and BP-NO2) as potential σ1receptor ligands. The X-ray crystal structure of BP-Br, which crystallized with monoclinic space groupP21/c, has been determined. In vitro competition binding assays showed that all the five ligands exhibit low nanomolar affinity for σ1receptors (Ki= 0.43–0.91 nM) and high subtype selectivity (σ2receptor:Ki= 40–61 nM;Kiσ2/Kiσ1= 52–94). [125I]BP-I (1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)-4-(4-iodobenzyl)piperazine) was prepared in 53 ± 10% isolated radiochemical yield, with radiochemical purity of >99% by HPLC analysis after purification, via iododestannylation of the corresponding tributyltin precursor. The logDvalue of [125I]BP-I was found to be 2.98 ± 0.17, which is within the range expected to give high brain uptake. Biodistribution studies in mice demonstrated relatively high concentration of radiolabeled substances in organs known to contain σ1receptors, including the brain, lung, kidney, heart, and spleen. Administration of haloperidol 5 min prior to injection of [125I]BP-I significantly reduced the concentration of radioactivity in the above-mentioned organs. The accumulation of radiolabeled substance in the thyroid was quite low suggesting that [125I]BP-I is relatively stable to in vivo deiodination. These findings suggest that the binding of [125I]BP-I to σ1receptors in vivo is specific.
