Abstract
The tropane alkaloid RTI-82, an iodoarylazide, has been labeled with i odine-125 for use as a photoaffinity probe for the cocaine binding sit e of the dopamine transporter. The one-flask radiosynthesis involves n o-carrier-added electrophilic radioiodination of the corresponding ani line followed by diazotization and treatment with sodium azide. Isolat ion by reverse phase HPLC and solid phase extraction gives [I-125]-RTI -82 in good yield (76 +/- 7%, n = 6), high radiochemical purity (> 99. 8%), and high specific radioactivity (1490 - 1880 mCi/mumol).
