The title compound ([3H]INBMeO) was prepared by an O,O-dimethylation reaction of a t-BOC protected diphenolic precursor using no carrier added tritiated iodomethane in DMF with K(2)CO(3). Removal of the t-BOC protecting group and purification by HPLC afforded an overall yield of 43%, with a radiochemical purity of 99% and specific activity of 164Ci/mmol. The new radioligand was suitable for labeling human 5-HT(2A) receptors in two heterologous cell lines and had about 20-fold higher affinity than [(3)H]ketanserin.
