Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) is a dual-substrate PDE that hydrolyzes both cAMP and cGMP and is selectively expressed in striatal medium spiny neurons. Recent studies have suggested that PDE10A inhibition is a novel approach for the treatment of disorders such as schizophrenia and Huntington's disease. A positron emission tomography (PET) occupancy study can provide useful information for the development of PDE10A inhibitors. We discovered T-773 as a candidate PET radioligand for PDE10A and investigated its properties by in vitro autoradiography and a PET study in a monkey.
Profiling of T-773 as a PET radioligand for PDE10A was conducted by in vitro enzyme inhibitory assay, in vitro autoradiography, and PET study in a monkey.
T-773 showed a high binding affinity and selectivity for human recombinant PDE10A2 in vitro; the IC50 value in an enzyme inhibitory assay was 0.77nmol/L, and selectivity over other PDEs was more than 2500-fold. In autoradiography studies using mouse, rat, monkey, or human brain sections, radiolabeled T-773 selectively accumulated in the striatum. This selective accumulation was not observed in the brain sections of Pde10a-KO mice. The binding of [(3)H]T-773 to PDE10A in rat brain sections was competitively inhibited by MP-10, a selective PDE10A inhibitor. In rat brain sections, [(3)H]T-773 bound to a single high affinity site of PDE10A with Kd values of 12.2±2.2 and 4.7±1.2nmol/L in the caudate-putamen and nucleus accumbens, respectively. In a monkey PET study, [(11)C]T-773 showed good brain penetration and striatum-selective accumulation.
These results suggest that [(11)C]T-773 is a potential PET radioligand for PDE10A.
磷酸二酯酶10A(PDE10A)是一种双底物磷酸二酯酶,可水解环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)和环磷酸鸟苷(cGMP),并选择性地在纹状体中等棘状神经元中表达。最近的研究表明,抑制PDE10A是治疗精神分裂症和亨廷顿舞蹈症等疾病的一种新方法。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)占有率研究可为PDE10A抑制剂的开发提供有用信息。我们发现T-773作为PDE10A的PET放射性配体候选物,并通过体外放射自显影和对猴子的PET研究对其性质进行了研究。
通过体外酶抑制试验、体外放射自显影和对猴子的PET研究对T-773作为PDE10A的PET放射性配体进行了分析。
T-773在体外对人重组PDE10A2表现出高结合亲和力和选择性;酶抑制试验中的半数抑制浓度(IC50)值为0.77nmol/L,对其他磷酸二酯酶的选择性超过2500倍。在使用小鼠、大鼠、猴子或人类脑切片的放射自显影研究中,放射性标记的T-773选择性地积聚在纹状体中。在Pde10a基因敲除小鼠的脑切片中未观察到这种选择性积聚。大鼠脑切片中[(3)H]T-773与PDE10A的结合受到选择性PDE10A抑制剂MP-10的竞争性抑制。在大鼠脑切片中,[(3)H]T-773与PDE10A的一个单一高亲和力位点结合,在尾状核-壳核和伏隔核中的解离常数(Kd)值分别为12.2±2.2和4.7±1.2nmol/L。在一项猴子PET研究中,[(11)C]T-773表现出良好的脑渗透性和纹状体选择性积聚。
这些结果表明[(11)C]T-773是一种潜在的PDE10A的PET放射性配体。
