Cis-(1S,4S)-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tertrahydro-N-methyl-1-naphthalenamine (sertraline) hydrochloride from among selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is a treatment of major depression. For the differential diagnosis by metabolizing serotonin in a patient with neurological disorders, the radiolabeled $^{11}C$-sertraline was developed for non-invasive positron emission tomography in living brain and use the evaluation of new drug for SSRIs. We release the results of a fast and easy radiolabeling method applied a one-step loop method with $[^{11}C]CH_3OTf$ for routine clinical applications of $^{11}C$-sertraline. 1 mg of a precursor for $^{11}C$-sertraline in 0.1 mL DMF and $5{\mu}L$ of 1N NaOH, were injected into the loop of semi-prep high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). $[^{11}C]CH_3OTf$ was passed through the loop at room temperature (RT). The $^{11}C$-sertraline was separated by the semi-preparative HPLC. $^{11}C$-sertraline was eluted at 28.0 min was collected and evaluated by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometer. The total radiolabeling efficiency of $^{11}C$-sertraline was $30.7{\pm}8.7%$. The specific activity was $64.8{\pm}51.4GBq/{\mu}mol$. The radiochemical and chemical purities were higher than 99%. The mass spectrum of the product showed m/z peaks at 307.1 (M+1), indicating the mass of sertraline. By the one-step loop method with $[^{11}C]CH_3OTf$, $^{11}C$-sertraline could be quickly and easily prepared for clinical application.

Diesel exhaust (DE) has been recognized as a noxious mutagen and/or carcinogen, because its components can form DNA adducts. Mechanisms governing the susceptibility to DE and the efficiency of such DNA adduct formation require clarification. The transcription factor Nrf2 is essential for inducible and/or constitutive expression of a group of detoxification and antioxidant enzymes, and we hypothesized that the nrf2 gene knockout mouse might serve as an excellent model system for analyzing DE toxicity. To address this hypothesis, lungs from nrf2(-/-) and nrf2(+/-) mice were examined for the production of xenobiotic-DNA adducts after exposure to DE (3 $mg/m^{3}$ suspended particulate matter) for 4 weeks. Whereas the relative adduct levels (RAL) were significantly increased in the lungs of both nrf2(+/-) and nrf2(-/-) mice upon exposure to DE, the increase of RAL in the lungs from nrf2(-/-) mice exposed to DE were approximately 2.3-fold higher than that of nrf2(+/-) mite exposed to DE. In contrail, cytochrome P4501Al mRNA levels in the nrf2(-/-)mouse lungs were similar to those in the nrf2(+/-) mouse lungs even after exposure to DE, suggesting that suppressed activity of phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes is important in giving ise to the increased level of DNA adducts in the Nrf2-null mutant mouse subjected to DE. Importantly, severe hyperplasia and accumulation of the oxidative DNA adduct 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were observed in the bronchial epidermis of nrf(-/-) mite following DE exposure. These results demonstrate the increased susceptibility of the nrf2 germ line mutant mouse to DE exposure and indicate the nrf2 gene knockout mouse nay represent a valuable model for the assessment of respiratory DE toxicity.
