Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of radioiodinated benzo[d]imidazole-quinoline derivatives for platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) imaging.

Several malignant tumors and fibrotic diseases are associated with PDGFRβ overexpression and excessive signaling, making this receptor attractive for molecular targeting and imaging approaches. A series of benzo[d]imidazole-quinoline derivatives were designed and synthesized to develop radioiodinated compounds as PDGFRβ-specific imaging probes. The structure activity relationship (SAR) evaluation of the designed compounds was performed. Among them, 2-[5-(2-methoxyethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]-8-(piperazin-1-yl)quinoline (5a) and 4-{2-[5-(2-methoxyethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]quinolin-8-yl}morpholine (5d) exhibited a relatively high PDGFRβ-TK inhibitory potency, whereas iodinated 5a derivative 5-iodo-2-[5-(2-methoxyethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]-8-(piperazin-1-yl)quinoline (8) exhibited a superior inhibitory potency as PDGFRβ inhibitor than iodinated 5d derivative 4-{5-iodo-2-[5-(2-methoxyethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl]quinolin-8-yl}morpholine (11).
