Abstract In this work, a fragment-based labeling procedure was developed based on condensation reactions. Six 18F-labeled (arylpiperazinyl-butyl)oxindole derivatives were synthesized. These structures are interesting lead compounds with respect to development of a 5-HT7R PET tracer. They were radiolabeled in sufficient radiochemical yields, purities and molar activities for future in vivo evaluation in rodents.

Introduction Positron emission tomography (PET) is a valuable, noninvasive, molecular imaging technique that can be applied to characterize biological receptor or enzyme systems [1–3]. Today PET is routinely used in the clinic to assess disease stage and progression [4].

important data obtained by PET is information enabling the determination of receptor occupancies [1, 2, 5]. Receptor occupancies can e.g. be used to estimate the optimal dose needed to maximize treatment efficacy, while minimizing side-effects [1, 5]. Developing a successful PET tracer is a challenging and complex process. Success rates are low, the process is timeconsuming and expensive because of its multifaceted nature [6, 7]. Development of a successful PET radiotracer cannot be reliably predicted from in vitro data and has thus far to be determined in vivo. For example, the blood–brain barrier permeability, the non-displaceable binding component and the respective kinetics of a tracer are parameters that are currently best estimated in vivo [5, 8, 9].
