  • Publication number: 20080171863
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparation of organofluoro compounds containing radioactive isotope fluorine-18. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for preparation of organofluoro compound by reacting fluorine salt containing radioactive isotope fluorine-18 with alkyl halide or alkyl sulfonate in the presence of alcohol of Chemistry (FIG. 1) as a solvent to obtain high yield of organofluoro compound. Synthesis reaction according to the present invention may be carried out under mild condition to give high yield of the organofluoro compounds and the reaction time is decreased, and thereby is suitable for the mass production of the organofluoro compounds.

  • Publication number: 20080138287
    Abstract: The present invention relates to 3-substituted-2-(arylalkyl)-1-azabicycloalkanes, methods of preparing the compounds, and methods of treatment using the compounds. The azabicycloalkanes generally are azabicycloheptanes, azabicyclooctanes, or azabicyclononanes. The aryl group in the arylalkyl moiety is a 5- or 6-membered ring heteroaromatic, preferably 3-pyridinyl and 5-pyrimidinyl moieties, and the alkyl group is typically a C1-4 alkyl. The substituent at the 3-position of the 1-azabicycloalkane is a carbonyl group-containing moiety, such as an amide, carbamate, urea, thioamide, thiocarbamate, thiourea or similar functionality. The compounds exhibit activity at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), particularly the ?7 nAChR subtype, and are useful towards modulating neurotransmission and the release of ligands involved in neurotransmission.
