Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 inhibitor (PARPi) AZD2461 was designed to be a weak P-glycoprotein (P-gp) analogue of FDA approved olaparib. With this chemical property in mind, we utilized the AZD2461 ligand architecture to develop a CNS penetrant and PARP-1 selective imaging probe, in order to investigate PARP-1 mediated neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Our work led to the identification of several high-affinity PARPi, including AZD2461 congener 9e (PARP-1 IC 50 = 3.9 ± 1.2 nM), which was further evaluated as a potential 18 F-PET brain imaging probe. However, despite the similar molecular scaffolds of 9e and AZD2461, our studies revealed non-appreciable brain-uptake of [ 18 F]9e in non-human primates, suggesting AZD2461 to be non-CNS penetrant.
