To study the 5-HT(2A) receptors in the living human brain, using positron emission tomography (PET), two selective radiotracers are currently in use: [(18)F]altanserin and [(11)C]MDL 100907. It is, however, currently unknown to what extent data obtained with either tracer are directly comparable. The aim of this study was to compare binding characteristics of these two radiotracers in rat brain with respect to affinity (K(d)), receptor binding density (B(max)), binding potential (BP), and nonspecific binding. Further, binding kinetics, sensitivity towards competition with the endogenous transmitter serotonin, and the competitive/noncompetitive interaction between the two radioligands were evaluated. In addition, the selectivity of [(18)F]altanserin for the 5-HT(2A) receptor was assessed.The K(d) value of [(18)F]altanserin and [(3)H]MDL 100907 was in the order of 0.3 nM. B(max) in frontal cortex was 523 and 527 fmol/mg protein, respectively. The binding of [(18)F]altanserin was not influenced by blocking either the 5-HT(2B/2C) or the alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors. At 37 degrees C the association t(1/2) was 2.8 and 2.7 min and the dissociation t(1/2) was 11 and 13.5 min for [(18)F]altanserin and [(3)H]MDL 100907, respectively.Both radioligands were displaced by 5-HT, only at high concentrations; the K(i) value of 5-HT ranging between 650 and 3,300 nM. This indicates that binding of both radioligands in PET studies is not directly influenced by changes in endogenous 5-HT.Overall, the binding of [(18)F]altanserin and [(3)H]MDL 100907 to the 5-HT(2A) receptor was very comparable, showing selective high affinity binding in the subnanomolar range. 相似文献

Autoradiographic localization of 5-HT(2A) receptors in the human brain using [(3)H]M100907 and [(11)C]M100907 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M100907 (MDL 100907, R-(+)-alpha-(2, 3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-4-piperidinemethanol++ +) is a new selective antagonist of 5-HT(2A) receptors. The compound has been labeled with (11)C and proved useful for in vivo studies of 5-HT(2A) receptors using positron emission tomography (PET). In the present study the distribution of 5-HT(2A) receptors was examined in the postmortem human brain using whole hemisphere autoradiography and [(3)H]M100907 and [(11)C]M100907. The autoradiograms showed very dense binding to all neocortical regions, whereas the hippocampus was only weakly labeled with [(3)H]M100907. Other central brain regions, such as the basal ganglia and thalamus, showed low [(3)H]M100907 binding, reflecting low densities of 5-HT(2A) receptors. The cerebellum or structures of the brain stem were virtually devoid of 5-HT(2A) receptors. [(11)C]M100907 gave images qualitatively similar to those of [(3)H]M100907, although with lower spatial resolution. The labeling of human 5-HT(2A) receptors with [(3)H]M100907 was inhibited by the addition of the 5-HT(2A) receptor blockers ketanserin or SCH 23390 (10 microM), leaving a very low background of nonspecific binding. The 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist WAY-100635 and the D(2)-dopamine receptor antagonist raclopride had no effect on the binding of [(3)H]M100907. The selective labeling of 5-HT(2A) receptors with [(3)H]M100907 clearly shows that this compound is suitable for further studies of the human 5-HT(2A) receptor subtype in vitro. The in vitro autoradiography of the distribution of 5-HT(2A) receptors obtained with radiolabeled M100907 provides detailed qualitative and quantitative information on the distribution of 5-HT(2A)-receptors in the human brain as well as reference information for the interpretation of previous initial results at much lower resolution in humans in vivo with PET and [(11)C]M100907. 相似文献

The positron emission tomography (PET) ligand [(11)C]MDL 100,907 has previously been introduced to image the serotonin 2A (5-HT(2A)) receptor in human brain. The aim of this work was to contribute to the verification of the tracer kinetic modelling in human studies. Five healthy volunteers were scanned twice after intravenous bolus injection of approximately 370 MBq [(11)C]MDL 100,907 using dynamic PET. One scan was performed under baseline condition, the other scan commenced 90 mins after a single oral dose of 30 mg of the antidepressant mirtazapine, which binds to the 5-HT(2A) receptor. There did not appear to be radiolabelled metabolites of [(11)C]MDL 100,907 in human plasma, which are likely to cross the blood-brain barrier. Total volumes of distribution VD in 11 different brain regions were estimated using a reversible, two tissue, four rate constants compartment model with a variable fractional blood volume term and the metabolite-corrected plasma input function. There were no significant changes of the VD in the cerebellum between the baseline and the blocked scans confirming the cerebellum as a region devoid of displaceable binding. Regional estimates of binding potential were then obtained indirectly using the cerebellar VD and occupancies calculated. The mean occupancy with this clinically effective dose of mirtazapine was 60% without significant regional differences. This study confirmed the use of an arterial input kinetic model for the quantification of 5-HT(2A) receptor binding with [(11)C]MDL 100,907 and the use of the cerebellum as a reference region for the free and nonspecific binding. 相似文献

By using a combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and postmortem tissue dissection, the effect of increased endogenous serotonin on specific binding of [(11)C]WAY 100635 to the 5-HT(1A) receptor was investigated in rat brain in vivo. The binding studies were complemented by in vivo microdialysis to monitor 5-HT levels in similarly treated isoflurane-anaesthetised rats, with the dialysis probe locations corresponding to two of the tissues sampled for specific binding of the radioligand. Fenfluramine treatment (10 mg/kg i.p.) resulted in a approximately 5-fold increase in extracellular 5-HT in medial prefrontal cortex and a approximately 15-fold increase in lateral hippocampus, maximal at approximately 40 min after injection. PET scan duration was either 60 or 90 min, beginning 30 min after fenfluramine injection. The specific binding of [(11)C]WAY 100635 was reduced by 10-20% in hippocampus, which showed highest binding in control animals. Specific binding, however, was unaffected in both prefrontal cortex and midbrain raphe, each additional high binding regions. The minimal effects are consistent with a low baseline occupancy of the 5-HT(1A) receptor by 5-HT in vivo, so that only a large change in endogenous agonist concentration will affect radioligand binding. This implies that utilisation of [(11)C]WAY 100635 in human PET to quantify 5-HT(1A) receptor expression can be extended to pathology where synaptic 5-HT levels are altered as a consequence of the disease state. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: (+/-)Pindolol is a beta-adrenergic/5-HT1A receptor antagonist used in combination with certain antidepressant drugs to accelerate the onset of the antidepressive response. METHODS: The aim of the present study was to assess, using an in vivo electrophysiologic paradigm, the effect of (+/-)pindolol on the spontaneous firing activity of rat dorsal raphe serotonin (5-HT) and locus coeruleus noradrenaline (NA) neurons. RESULTS: (+/-)Pindolol did not modify the firing activity of dorsal raphe 5-HT neurons at low doses (10 and 200 micrograms/kg, i.v.), but it prevented the suppressant effect of the 5-HT autoreceptor agonist lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD, 10 micrograms/kg, i.v.) but not that of the 5-HT1A receptor 8-hydroxy-N,N-dipropyl-aminotetralin (8-OHDPAT, 5 micrograms/kg, i.v.). At a higher dose (500 micrograms/kg, i.v.), (+/-)pindolol decreased 5-HT neuronal firing and this effect was reversed by the selective 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY 100635 (100 micrograms/kg, i.v.), suggesting that it could act as a partial 5-HT1A autoreceptor agonist. In the locus coeruleus, the high dose of (+/-)pindolol decreased the firing activity of NA neurons and this effect was reversed by the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist MDL 100907 (200 micrograms/kg, i.v.). Finally, both a lesion of NA neurons and the administration of MDL 100907 prevented the suppressant effect of (+/-)pindolol on the firing of 5-HT neurons. CONCLUSIONS: It is suggested that, at low doses, (+/-)pindolol acts as a somatodendritic 5-HT1A autoreceptor antagonist whereas at a higher dose, it decreases the tonic excitatory input from NA neurons to 5-HT neurons. 相似文献

[(18)F]MPPF is a selective and reversible antagonist to the serotonin-1A (5-HT(1A)) receptor. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the binding of [(18)F]MPPF is sensitive to increases in 5-HT levels. We used the 5-HT releasing agent and reuptake inhibitor fenfluramine (FEN) to increase the concentration of 5-HT. [(18)F]MPPF binding was assessed using positron emission tomography (PET) in conscious monkeys. Possible effects of blood flow on ligand binding were excluded by using a bolus-infusion paradigm. Control scans were obtained to assess the state of ligand equilibrium. FEN (5 or 10 mg/kg, i.v.) was administered between 90 and 130 min after the start of the [(18)F]MPPF infusion. The binding potential (BP) was calculated for an early interval (30 min preceding FEN administration) and late interval (20-50 min after administration of FEN). Microdialyses results showed a 20- and 35-fold increase in extracellular 5-HT levels in the prefrontal cortex after injection of FEN at a dose of 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg respectively. However, despite these large increases in 5-HT levels, no differences in BP were found between the control and FEN scans. These results may imply that the majority of 5-HT(1A) receptors is in the low affinity state in the living brain. 相似文献

Evidence from biochemical, imaging, and treatment studies suggest abnormalities of the serotonin system in autism spectrum disorders, in particular in frontolimbic areas of the brain. We used the radiotracers [(11)C]MDL 100907 and [(11)C]DASB to characterize the 5-HT(2A) receptor and serotonin transporter in Asperger's Disorder. Seventeen individuals with Asperger's Disorder (age=34.3 ± 11.1 years) and 17 healthy controls (age=33.0 ± 9.6 years) were scanned with [(11)C]MDL 100907. Of the 17 patients, eight (age=29.7 ± 7.0 years) were also scanned with [11C]DASB, as were eight healthy controls (age=28.7 ± 7.0 years). Patients with Asperger's Disorder and healthy control subjects were matched for age, gender, and ethnicity, and all had normal intelligence. Metabolite-corrected arterial plasma inputs were collected and data analyzed by two-tissue compartment modeling. The primary outcome measure was regional binding potential BP(ND). Neither regional [11C]MDL 100907 BP(ND) nor [11C]DASB BP(ND) was statistically different between the Asperger's and healthy subjects. This study failed to find significant alterations in binding parameters of 5-HT(2A) receptors and serotonin transporters in adult subjects with Asperger's disorder. 相似文献

Assessment of serotonin release in the living brain with positron emission tomography (PET) may have been hampered by the lack of suitable radioligands. We previously reported that fenfluramine caused a dose-dependent reduction in specific binding in monkeys using a classical displacement paradigm with bolus administration of [(11)C]AZ10419369. The aim of this study was to confirm our previous findings using an equilibrium approach in monkey. A total of 24 PET measurements were conducted using a bolus infusion protocol of [(11)C]AZ10419369 in three cynomolgus monkeys. Initial PET measurements were performed to assess suitable K(bol) values. The fenfluramine effect on [(11)C]AZ10419369 binding was evaluated in a displacement and pretreatment paradigm. The effect of fenfluramine on [(11)C]AZ10419369 binding potential (BP(ND)) was dose-dependent in the displacement paradigm and confirmed in the pretreatment paradigm. After pretreatment administration of fenfluramine (5.0 mg/kg), the mean BP(ND) of the occipital cortex decreased by 39%, from 1.38±0.04 to 0.84±0.09. This study confirms that the new 5-HT(1B) receptor radioligand [(11)C]AZ10419369 is sensitive to fenfluramine-induced changes in endogenous serotonin levels in vivo. The more advanced methodology is suitable for exploring the sensitivity limit to serotonin release as measured using [(11)C]AZ10419369 and PET. 相似文献

The present study demonstrated the antidepressant-like effect of neurosteroid 3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-20-one (3alpha, 5alpha THP) in mouse forced swim test of depression and its modulation by different serotonergic agents. Pretreatment with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, fluoxetine (5 mg/kg, i.p.), the 5-HT releaser, fenfluramine (10 mg/kg, i.p.), the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist, 8-OH-DPAT (0.1 mg/kg, s.c.), the 5-HT(1B/1C) receptor agonist, TFMPP (4 mg/kg, s.c.) and the 5-HT(2A/1C) receptor agonist, DOI (2 mg/kg, s.c.) potentiated the antidepressant-like effect of 3alpha, 5alpha THP. At these doses the serotonergic agents per se did not modify the duration of immobility. However, fluoxetine (20 mg/kg, i.p.), fenfluramine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) or imipramine (5 or 20 mg/kg, i.p.) not only reduced immobility but also enhanced the antidepressant-like effect of 3alpha, 5alpha THP. Such a potentiating effect of the 5-HT(1A) or the 5-HT(2A/1C) receptor agonist was not antagonized by the sub-effective dose (0.1 mg/kg, s. c.) of their respective antagonists p-MPPI or ketanserin. Pretreatment with p-CPA (300x3 mg/kg, i.p.), a depleter of 5-HT neuronal store failed to block the influence of fluoxetine and fenfluramine on antidepressant-like effect of 3alpha, 5alpha THP. The accelerated effect of 3alpha, 5alpha THP in presence of serotonergic agents was antagonized by the GABA(A) receptor antagonist, bicuculline (1 mg/kg, i.p.) or the 3alpha-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase enzyme inhibitor, indomethacin (5 mg/kg, i.p.). These findings for the first time demonstrate that serotonergic agents potentiate the antidepressant-like action of 3alpha, 5alpha THP, by enhancing the GABAergic tone as a likely consequence of increased brain content of this neurosteroid. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: A previous positron emission tomography (PET) study reported increased serotonin 5-HT(2A) receptor binding in unmedicated depressed patients with high scores on the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale. The purpose of the present study was to use the highly selective 5-HT(2A) receptor ligand [(11)C]MDL 100,907 in a PET imaging paradigm to assess 1) 5-HT(2A) receptor binding potential in euthymic subjects with a history of recurrent depression and 2) the relationship between receptor binding and scores on the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale. METHOD: Cortical 5-HT(2A) receptor binding was measured in 20 unmedicated, fully recovered unipolar depressed patients and 20 age- and gender-matched comparison subjects. Regional estimates of binding potential were obtained using a reversible plasma input function compartmental model and the cerebellum as a reference region to estimate the free and non-specifically bound [(11)C]MDL 100,907 in brain tissue. RESULTS: Relative to the comparison subjects, the recovered depressed patients demonstrated significantly higher 5-HT(2A) receptor binding potential in the frontal cortex (mean increase: 19%), parietal cortex (mean increase: 25%), and occipital cortex (mean increase: 19%). 5-HT(2A) receptor binding potential correlated negatively with age in both patients and comparison subjects and positively with the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale in the recovered patients. CONCLUSIONS: These findings should be considered preliminary but suggest that recovered subjects with a history of recurrent major depression have elevated binding potential of cortical 5-HT(2A) receptors. The correlation of increased 5-HT(2A) receptor binding potential with increased scores on Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale supports earlier work suggesting that increased 5-HT(2A) receptor availability characterizes a group of depressed patients with high levels of dysfunctional attitudes. 相似文献

The present study sought to determine whether or not Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with the newly developed positron emitting serotonin (5-HT) transporter ligand, (+)[11C]McN-5652, could be used to detect fenfluramine-induced 5-HT neurotoxicity in the brain of living primates (baboons). Six PET imaging studies were performed: three before treatment with fenfluramine (5 mg/kg, s.c., twice daily for 4 days) and three after (18, 45, and 81 days after treatment). The dose of fenfluramine used in this study (5 mg/kg) is known to produce 5-HT neurotoxicity in primates, and to be approximately two times higher than a dose of fenfluramine reported to produce small and inconsistent weight loss in baboons (2 mg/kg). Following fenfluramine treatment, marked lasting reductions in regional brain specific binding of (+)[11C]McN-5652 were found by means of PET. Findings with PET corresponded well with post-mortem neurochemical findings indicative of serotonergic neurotoxicity (lasting depletions of regional brain 5-HT, 5-HIAA, and 5-HT uptake sites). These results suggest that PET imaging with (+)[11C]McN-5652 will be useful for evaluating the 5-HT neurotoxic potential of fenfluramine and related drugs in living humans. 相似文献

The neurosteroid 3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-20-one (3alpha,5alpha-THP) induced catalepsy in mice is modified by dopaminergic, adenosinergic and GABAergic agents. In light of serotonergic agents being implicated in antipsychotic-induced catalepsy and their ability to increase brain neurosteroid content, the present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of various 5-HT agents on catalepsy induced by 3alpha,5alpha-THP in mice. Pretreatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, fluoxetine (5 mg/kg, i.p.), 5-HT releaser, fenfluramine (10 mg/kg, i.p.), 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist, 8-OH-DPAT (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.), 5-HT1B/1C receptor agonist, TFMPP (3 mg/kg, i.p.), 5-HT2A/1C receptor agonist, DOI (1.5 mg/kg, s.c.) and 5-HT3 agonist, 2-methylserotonin (5 mg/kg, i.p.) potentiated the catalepsy induced by exogenous administration of 3alpha,5alpha-THP. Furthermore, FGIN 1-27, an MDR agonist that increases endogenous content of 3alpha,5alpha-THP although per se failed to exhibit any cataleptic effect but enhanced the cataleptic response in combination with these serotonergic agents. The potentiating action of 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A/1C or 5-HT3 receptor agonist on 3alpha,5alpha-THP induced catalepsy was not blocked by prior administration of sub-effective dose (1 mg/kg, s.c.) of their respective receptor antagonists pindolol, ritanserin or ondansetron or by pretreatment with serotonergic neurotoxin 5,7-DHT (100 microg/mouse, i.c.v.). However this effect of different serotonergic agents was antagonized by the GABA(A) receptor antagonist, bicuculline (1 mg/kg, i.p.) or the 3alpha-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase enzyme inhibitor, indomethacin (5 mg/kg, i.p.). The 5-HT agents enhance neurosteroid-induced catalepsy by increasing GABAergic tone, likely as a consequence of increased brain content of 3alpha,5alpha-THP. 相似文献

Using a combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and the microdialysis technique, the effects of increased endogenous serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) on the binding of [(11)C]DASB to 5-HT transporters (5-HTT) were investigated in the conscious monkey brain. Five rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were scanned with [(11)C]DASB under the control condition and the increased endogenous 5-HT condition, in which 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan (5-HTP) was administered (20 mg/kg, i.v.) before the PET scan. Compared with the control scan, the 5-HTP administration significantly decreased the binding potential (BP) (BP = B(max)/K(d)) of [(11)C]DASB in several brain regions. The mean % decrease of BP was biggest in the caudate and putamen. Two monkeys were scanned with [(11)C]5-HTP to assess the amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) activity in the brain, resulting in the high activity in the caudate and putamen. Microdialysis measurements showed that although 5-HTP administration (20 mg/kg, i.v.) increased the extracellular 5-HT levels in both the prefrontal cortex and caudate, the increase of the 5-HT level in the caudate was 27 times higher than that in the prefrontal cortex. These results suggest that the caudate and putamen, both of which show high AADC activity, convert 5-HTP to 5-HT at a high rate, and the increased 5-HT competes with [(11)C]DASB for the 5-HTT. 相似文献

A new tropane derivative, (E)-N-(4-fluorobut-2-enyl)-2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-(4'-tolyl)nortropane (LBT-999), was evaluated in baboons as a carbon-11 radioligand for studies of the dopamine transporter (DAT) using positron emission tomography (PET). Brain uptake was high in the striatum (17 and 13% ID/100 mL tissue in the putamen and the caudate, respectively), moderate in the midbrain and thalamus (5 and 3% ID/100 mL tissue, respectively), and low in the cortex and cerebellum (2% ID/100 mL tissue) at 30 min post injection. The striatum-to-cerebellum ratio was high (30 at 110 min post injection). Specific binding was completely blocked following pretreatment with the DAT antagonists GBR12909 (5 mg/kg i.v.) or PE2I (1 mg/kg i.v.). The [(11)C]LBT-999 uptake was decreased by these antagonists in the putamen (-79 and -92%, respectively), caudate (-80 and -91%, respectively), midbrain (-73 and -78%, respectively), and thalamus (-34 and -46%, respectively). The serotonin transporter (SERT) antagonist citalopram (5 mg/kg i.v.) or the norepinephrine transporter antagonist maprotiline (5 mg/kg i.v.) had no effect on LBT specific binding. Pharmacological challenge with PE2I (1 mg/kg i.v.) induced a rapid and almost complete decrease of the specific binding in the putamen (-97%), caudate (-96%), midbrain (-96%), and thalamus (-81%), confirming the reversibility of [(11)C]LBT-999 binding. The high brain uptake of [(11)C]LBT-999 together with its low nonspecific binding (reflected by the very high brain structure-to-cerebellum ratio) indicate that this radiotracer is an excellent candidate for in vivo quantification of the DAT, especially in extrastriatal structures, such as the midbrain. 相似文献

Although [(11)C]Ro15-4513 and [(11)C]flumazenil both bind to the central benzodiazepine (BZ) receptors, the distributions of the two ligands are not identical in vivo. Moreover, the in vivo pharmacological properties of [(11)C]Ro15-4513 have not been thoroughly examined. In the present study, we examined the pharmacological profile of [(11)C]Ro15-4513 binding in the monkey brain using positron emission tomography (PET). [(11)C]Ro15-4513 showed relatively high accumulation in the anterior cingulate cortex, hippocampus, and insular cortex, with the lowest uptake being observed in the pons. Accumulation in the cerebral cortex was significantly diminished by the BZ antagonist flumazenil (0.1 mg/kg, i.v.), but not that in the pons. Using the pons as a reference region, the specific binding of [(11)C]Ro15-4513 in most of the cerebral cortex including the limbic regions clearly revealed two different affinity sites. On the other hand, specific binding in the occipital cortex and cerebellum showed only a low affinity site. Zolpidem with affinity for alpha1, alpha2, and alpha3 subunits of GABA(A)/BZ receptor fully inhibited [(11)C]Ro15-4513 binding in the occipital cortex and cerebellum, while only about 23% of the binding was blocked in the anterior cingulate cortex. Diazepam with affinity for alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, and alpha5 subunits inhibited the binding in all brain regions. Since Ro15-4513 has relatively high affinity for the alpha5 subunit in vitro, these in vivo bindings of [(11)C]Ro15-4513 can be interpreted as the relatively high accumulation in the fronto-temporal limbic regions representing binding to the GABA(A)/BZ receptor alpha5 subunit. 相似文献

We examined the effect of the acute and repeated administration of M100907 (formerly MDL 100907), a selective 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist, on spontaneously active dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) of rats. This was accomplished using in vivo, extracellular single unit recording. The i.v. administration of M100907 (0.01-0.64 mg/kg) did not significantly alter the basal firing rate or pattern of spontaneously active SNC and VTA DA neurons. A single injection of either 0.01 or 0.03 mg/kg i.p. of M100907 did not significantly alter the number of spontaneously active DA neurons in either the SNC or VTA areas. However, 0.1 mg/kg i.p. of M100907 significantly increased the number of spontaneously active SNC and VTA DA neurons compared to vehicle-treated animals. A single injection of all doses of M100907 significantly decreased the degree of bursting in VTA DA neurons, whereas the 0.1 mg/kg dose increased the degree of bursting in SNC DA neurons. The repeated administration (one injection per day for 21 days) of 0.03 and 0.1 mg/kg i.p. of M100907 produced a significant decrease in the number of spontaneously active SNC and VTA DA neurons compared to vehicle-treated animals. The repeated administration of M100907 did not significantly alter the firing pattern of VTA DA neurons but significantly altered the firing pattern of SNC DA neurons. The results of this study indicate that M100907 administration alters the activity of midbrain DA neurons in anesthetized rats. 相似文献

Imaging the cerebral serotonin 2A (5‐HT2A) receptors with positron emission tomography (PET) has been carried out in humans with [11C]MDL 100907 and [18F]altanserin. Recently, the MDL 100907 analogue [18F]MH.MZ was developed combining the selectivity profile of MDL 100907 and the favourable radiophysical properties of fluorine‐18. Here, we present a direct comparison of [18F]altanserin and [18F]MH.MZ. 5‐HT2A receptor binding in pig cortex and cerebellum was investigated by autoradiography with [3H]MDL 100907, [18F]MH.MZ, and [18F]altanserin. [18F]MH.MZ and [18F]altanserin were investigated in Danish Landrace pigs by brain PET scanning at baseline and after i.v. administration of blocking doses of ketanserin. Full arterial input function and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis allowed for tissue‐compartment kinetic modeling of PET data. In vitro autoradiography showed high binding in cortical regions with both [18F]MH.MZ and [18F]altanserin. Significant 5‐HT2A receptor binding was also found in the pig cerebellum, thus making this region unsuitable as a reference region for in vivo data analysis in this species. The cortical binding of [18F]MH.MZ and [18F]altanserin was blocked by ketanserin supporting that both radioligands bind to 5‐HT2A receptors in the pig brain. In the HPLC analysis of pig plasma, [18F]MH.MZ displayed a fast and reproducible metabolism resulting in hydrophilic radiometabolites only whereas the metabolic profile of [18F]altanserin as expected showed lipophilic radiometabolites. Due to the slow kinetics of [18F]MH.MZ in high‐binding regions in vivo, we suggest that [18F]MH.MZ will be an appropriate tracer for low binding regions where kinetics will be faster, whereas [18F]altanserin is a suitable tracer for high‐binding regions.

This study investigated the involvement of 5-HT(1) and 5-HT(2) receptors in the antidepressant-like effect of agmatine in the mouse forced swimming test (FST). Pretreatment with p-chlorophenylalanine methyl ester (PCPA; 100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.), an inhibitor of serotonin synthesis, for 4 consecutive days), methysergide (5 mg/kg, i.p., a serotonin (5-HT) antagonist), pindolol (32 mg/kg, i.p., a 5-HT(1A/1B) receptor/beta-adrenoceptor antagonist), N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridynyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide (WAY 100635; 0.3 mg/kg, subcutaneously (s.c.), a selective 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist), 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4[-(2-phthalimido)butyl]piperazine) (NAN-190; 0.5 mg/kg, i.p., a 5-HT(1A) receptor antagonist), 1-(2-(1-pyrrolyl)-phenoxy)-3-isopropylamino-2-propanol (isamoltane; 2.5 mg/kg, i.p., a 5-HT(1B) receptor antagonist), cyproheptadine (3 mg/kg, i.p., a 5-HT(2) antagonist) or ketanserin (5 mg/kg, i.p., a 5-HT(2A/2C) receptor antagonist), but not with propranolol (2 mg/kg, i.p., a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist), prevented the effect of agmatine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) in the FST. A subeffective dose of agmatine (0.001 mg/kg, i.p.) produced a synergistic antidepressant-like effect with pindolol (32 mg/kg), NAN-190 (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.), WAY 100635 (0.03 mg/kg, s.c.), (+)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin HBr (8-OH-DPAT; 0.01 mg/kg, i.p., a 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist), R(-)-1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane HCl (DOI; 1 mg/kg, i.p., a preferential 5-HT(2A) receptor agonist), or fluoxetine (10 mg/kg, i.p., a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, SSRI) but not with isamoltane (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.), ritanserin (4 mg/kg, i.p., a 5-HT(2A/2C) receptor antagonist) or ketanserin (5 mg/kg, i.p.). Taken together, the results firstly demonstrate that agmatine antidepressant-like effects in the FST seem to be mediated, at least in part, by an interaction with 5-HT(1A/1B) and 5-HT(2) receptors. 相似文献

An alpha(1) adrenoceptor (alpha(1)-AdR) assay using [(3)H]prazosin binding in mouse brain is described which allows in vivo determination of central alpha(1)-AdR occupancy for ligands with alpha(1)-AdR affinity. Binding of [3H]prazosin in rat and mouse brain membranes in vitro was used to characterise the pharmacological profile of alpha(1)-AdRs in order to determine any potential species variations. Saturation and displacement studies yielded comparable affinity and pharmacological profile for [(3)H]prazosin binding in mouse and rat brain homogenates. These studies confirmed the absence of species variation for ligands in central alpha(1)-AdR pharmacology which is in good agreement with previous studies in rat brain. Subsequently, in vivo binding of [(3)H]prazosin in mouse whole brain was used to measure the occupancy of a number of AdR ligands. Timecourse studies revealed that a [3H]prazosin (5 mu Ci/mouse) pretreatment time of at least 20 min following intravenous (i.v.) administration was required for optimal specific binding. Ligands were administered systemically 40 min prior to i.v. administration of radiolabel. The alpha(1)-adrenoceptor ligands prazosin (ED(50)=0.15 mg/kg i.p.), benoxathian (0.52 mg/kg i.p.) and phentolamine (51 mg/kg i.p.) were all able to block in vivo [(3)H]prazosin binding from mouse brain. In addition, receptor occupancy values for a number of compounds including haloperidol (ED(50)=0.83 mg/kg s.c.), clozapine (2.2 mg/kg s.c.) and MDL-100907 [R(+)-alpha-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-[2-(4-fluorophenylethyl)]-4-piperidine-methanol], (10 mg/kg s.c.)], which possess high to moderate affinity at alpha(1)-adrenoceptors, were also determined. These results suggest that in the mouse, [(3)H]prazosin binding can be used to measure in vivo receptor occupancy of ligands with affinity at central alpha(1)-adrenoceptors. 相似文献

The main objective of the current study was to determine the sensitivity of the positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand [11C]P943 to fenfluramine-induced changes in endogenous 5-HT in nonhuman primate brain. Fenfluramine-induced changes in 5-HT(1B) occupancy were compared to those obtained by self-block with unlabeled P943. Two baboons and 1 rhesus monkey were given preblocking or displacing doses of fenfluramine (1-5 mg/kg) or preblocking doses of unlabeled P943 (0.2 mg/kg) and imaged with [11C]P943 PET. Receptor occupancy by the low dose of fenfluramine (1 mg/kg) in the baboons was 25 and 29% and by the high dose of fenfluramine (5 mg/kg) in the rhesus macaque was 42%. Receptor occupancy by P943 (0.2 mg/kg) was 68 and 86% in the baboons. PET imaging of 5-HT(1B) receptors with [11C]P943 may be a useful approach for measuring changes in endogenous 5-HT in the living human brain. 相似文献
