Abstract

Background

In the central nervous system, type 2 vesicular monoamine transporters (VMAT2) are responsible for the reuptake of monoamines from synaptic junction back to pre-synaptic terminal vesicles. These transporters are functionally crucial as they reflect the integrity of monoamine neurons. D6-[¹⁸F]FP-(+)-DTBZ, a novel deuterated VMAT2 radioligand, has shown promise as a potential PET tracer for the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study evaluates the biodistribution and dosimetry of D6-[¹⁸F]FP-(+)-DTBZ and includes a head-to-head comparison with its non-deuterated version, [¹⁸F]FP-(+)-DTBZ (AV-133), in healthy individuals and PD patients.

Results

The automated synthesis of D6-[¹⁸F]FP-(+)-DTBZ using the SPE method was accomplished in 35 min, yielding a high radiochemical purity (> 99%) and high radiochemical yields (35 ± 5%). The biodistribution and dosimetry study indicated an effective dose of 37.1 ± 7.2 μSv/MBq, with the liver receiving the highest radiation dose (289.6 ± 42.1 μGy/MBq), followed by pancreas (185.2 ± 29.1 μGy/MBq). Brain imaging with D6-[¹⁸F]FP-(+)-DTBZ exhibited a significantly increased uptake in VMAT2-rich regions, particularly the striatum. In a head-to-head comparison between [¹⁸F]FP-(+)-DTBZ and D6-[¹⁸F]FP-(+)-DTBZ, the latter exhibited approximately 15% higher SUVR in the caudate, putamen, and nucleus accumbens. Preliminary studies in PD patients showed a substantial reduction in VMAT2 uptake in the striatum, with the most pronounced decrease observed in the putamen (a 53% decline).

Conclusions

D6-[¹⁸F]FP-(+)-DTBZ is a safe and improved VMAT2-specific imaging agent, which may be suitable for diagnosing PD by evaluating changes in VMAT2 binding of monoamine neurons in the brain.

新型 VMAT2 示踪剂 D6-[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ 的首次人体研究：全身生物分布和脑 PET 与 [18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ (AV-133) 的比较

背景在中枢神经系统中，2 型囊泡单胺转运体（VMAT2）负责将单胺从突触接头重新吸收回突触前末端囊泡。这些转运体在功能上至关重要，因为它们反映了单胺神经元的完整性。D6-[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ是一种新型的氚代VMAT2放射性配体，已被证明有望成为诊断帕金森病（PD）的潜在PET示踪剂。本研究评估了D6-[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ在健康人和帕金森病患者中的生物分布和剂量测定，并将其与非氘化型[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ（AV-133）进行了头对头比较。结果采用SPE方法在35分钟内完成了D6-[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ的自动合成，获得了高放射化学纯度（99%）和高放射化学收率（35 ± 5%）。生物分布和剂量学研究表明，有效剂量为 37.1 ± 7.2 μSv/MBq，肝脏接受的辐射剂量最高（289.6 ± 42.1 μGy/MBq），其次是胰腺（185.2 ± 29.1 μGy/MBq）。用D6-[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ进行的脑成像显示，富含VMAT2的区域，尤其是纹状体，摄取量明显增加。在对[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ和D6-[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ进行头对头比较时，后者在尾状核、普坦门和伏隔核的SUVR高出约15%。结论D6-[18F]FP-(+)-DTBZ是一种安全、改良的VMAT2特异性成像剂，可通过评估脑内单胺神经元的VMAT2结合变化诊断PD。
