2-Pyridinealdoxime methiodide (2-PAM) is a widely used antidote for the treatment of organophosphorus (OP) exposure that reactivates the target protein acetylcholinesterase. Carbon-11 2-PAM was prepared to more fully understand the in vivo mode of action, distribution, and dynamic qualities of this important countermeasure. Alkylation of 2-pyridinealdoxime with [ 11 C]CH 3 I provided the first-in-class [ 11 C]2-PAM tracer in 3.5% decay corrected radiochemical yield from [ 11 C]CH 3 I, &gt;99% radiochemical purity, and 4831 Ci/mmol molar activity. [ 11 C]2-PAM tracer distribution was evaluated by ex vivo biodistribution and in vivo dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in naïve (OP exposure deficient) rats. Tracer alone and tracer coinjected with a body mass-scaled human therapeutic dose of 30 mg/kg nonradioactive 2-PAM demonstrated statistically similar tissue and blood distribution profiles with the greatest uptake in kidney and significantly lower levels in liver, heart, and lung with lesser amounts in blood and brain. The imaging and biodistribution data show that radioactivity uptake in brain and peripheral organs is rapid and characterized by differential tissue radioactivity washout profiles. Analysis of arterial blood samples taken 5 min after injection showed ∼82% parent [ 11 C]2-PAM tracer. The imaging and biodistribution data are now established, enabling future comparisons to outcomes acquired in OP intoxicated rodent models.
