Synthesis and Evaluation of 7.alpha.-Iodo-5.alpha.-dihydrotestosterone as a Potential Radioligand for Androgen Receptor

Abstract: 7 alpha-Iodo-17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3-one (7 alpha-iodo-5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone, 7 alpha-IDHT) has been synthesized as a potential radioligand for the detection and measurement of androgen receptor and for imaging of androgen-receptor-containing tissues when labeled with the gamma-emitting radionuclides 125I and 123I, respectively. In vitro binding studies show that 7 alpha-IDHT binds with high affinity to the rat and human androgen receptor (RBA = 74) compared to R1881 (RBA = 100). Further, thi… Show more

“…High selectivity was found towards the formation of steroidal enones even when free hydroxyl groups, at different positions, were present. Steroids with a free hydroxyl group at the 3-position (entry 21-23, 29-30, Table 2) were oxidized successfully into the corresponding a,b-enones (17,(23)(24)(25) in good yields (68-70%). Interestingly, oxidation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, 2, entry 22) could be performed in a 1 : 1 mixture of water and 70% TBHP as a reaction medium and, after almost quantitative conversion, the 7-oxo compound was obtained exclusively without the formation of the 3-oxo compound.…”

“…This mostly represented an extension of studies conducted during the late 1980's in which radiohalogens 1-125 or F-18 were incorporated at the 7a, 16a, or 17a-positions (Fig. 8) [30][31][32][33]. These early results were generally disappointing in that the radiochemicals exhibited either little specific binding or metabolic lability, or both.…”
