So far, no suitable 5-HT7R radioligand exists for clinical positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. [18F]2FP3 was first tested in vivo in cats, and the results were promising for further evaluations. Here, we evaluate the radioligand in pigs and non-human primates (NHPs). Furthermore, we investigate species differences in 5-HT7R binding with [3H]SB-269970 autoradiography in post-mortem pig, NHP, and human brain tissue. Specific binding of [18F]2FP3 was investigated by intravenous administration of the 5-HT7R specific antagonist SB-269970. [3H]SB-269970 autoradiography was performed as previously described. [18F]2FP3 was synthesized in an overall yield of 35% to 45%. High brain uptake of the tracer was found in both pigs and NHPs; however, pretreatment with SB-269970 only resulted in decreased binding of 20% in the thalamus, a 5-HT7R–rich region. Autoradiography on post-mortem pig, NHP, and human tissues revealed that specific binding of [3H]SB-269970 was comparable in the thalamus of pig and NHP. Despite the high uptake of [18F]2FP3 in both species, the binding could only be blocked to a limited degree with the 5-HT7R antagonists. We speculate that the affinity of the radioligand is too low for imaging the 5-HT7Rs in vivo and that part of the PET signal arises from targets other than the 5-HT7R.
迄今为止,尚不存在适合临床正电子发射断层扫描(PET)成像的5-HT7R放射性配体。 [18F]2FP3 首次在猫体内进行了测试,结果有望用于进一步评估。在这里,我们评估了猪和非人灵长类动物 (NHP) 的放射性配体。此外,我们利用 [3H]SB-269970 放射自显影技术研究了死后猪、NHP 和人脑组织中 5-HT7R 结合的物种差异。通过静脉内施用5-HT7R特异性拮抗剂SB-269970来研究[18F]2FP3的特异性结合。如前所述进行[ 3 H]SB-269970放射自显影。 [18F]2FP3的合成总产率为35%至45%。在猪和 NHP 中发现示踪剂的脑部摄取量较高;然而,SB-269970 预处理仅导致丘脑(富含 5-HT7R 的区域)的结合减少 20%。对死后猪、NHP 和人体组织的放射自显影显示,[3H]SB-269970 的特异性结合在猪和 NHP 的丘脑中相当。尽管这两个物种对[18F]2FP3的摄取量很高,但5-HT7R拮抗剂只能在有限程度上阻断这种结合。我们推测放射性配体的亲和力太低,无法在体内对 5-HT7R 进行成像,并且部分 PET 信号来自 5-HT7R 以外的靶标。
