To develop a superior VAChT imaging probe for SPECT, radiolabeled (-)-OIDV and (+)-OIDV were isolated and investigated for differences in their binding affinity and selectivity to VAChT, as well as their in vivo activities.
Radioiodinated o-iodo-trans-decalinvesamicol ([125I]OIDV) has a high binding affinity for vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) both in vitro and in vivo. Racemic [125I]OIDV was separated into its two optical isomers (-)-[125I]OIDV and (+)-[125I]OIDV by HPLC. To investigate VAChT binding affinity (Ki) of two OIDV isomers, in vitro binding assays were performed. In vivo biodistribution study of each [125I]OIDV isomer in blood, brain regions and major organs of rats was performed at 2,30 and 60 min post-injection. In vivo blocking study were performed to reveal the binding selectivity of two [125I]OIDV isomers to VAChT in vivo. Ex vivo autoradiography were performed to reveal the regional brain distribution of two [125I]OIDV isomers and (-)-[123I]OIDV for SPECT at 60 min postinjection.
VAChT binding affinity (Ki) of (-)-[125I]OIDV and (+)-[125I]OIDV was 22.1 nM and 79.0 nM, respectively. At 2 min post-injection, accumulation of (-)-[125I]OIDV was the same as that of (+)-[125I]OIDV. However, (+)-[125I]OIDV clearance from the brain was faster than (-)-[125I]OIDV. At 30 min post-injection, accumulation of (-)-[125I]OIDV (0.62 ± 0.10%ID/g) was higher than (+)-[125I]OIDV (0.46 ± 0.07%ID/g) in the cortex. Inhibition of OIDV binding showed that (-)-[125I]OIDV was selectively accumulated in regions known to express VAChT in the rat brain, and ex vivo autoradiography further confirmed these results showing similar accumulation of (-)-[125I]OIDV in these regions. Furthermore, (-)-[123I]OIDV for SPECT showed the same regional brain distribution as (-)-[125I]OIDV.
These results suggest that radioiodinated (-)-OIDV may be a potentially useful tool for studying presynaptic cholinergic neurons in the brain.
为开发一种用于单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)的更优质的囊泡乙酰胆碱转运体(VAChT)成像探针,分离出放射性标记的(-)-OIDV和(+)-OIDV,并研究它们对VAChT的结合亲和力、选择性以及体内活性的差异。
放射性碘化邻碘反式十氢化萘维司米可([125I]OIDV)在体外和体内对囊泡乙酰胆碱转运体(VAChT)均具有高结合亲和力。通过高效液相色谱法(HPLC)将外消旋[125I]OIDV分离为其两种旋光异构体(-)-[125I]OIDV和(+)-[125I]OIDV。为研究两种OIDV异构体对VAChT的结合亲和力(Ki),进行了体外结合试验。在注射后2、30和60分钟对每种[125I]OIDV异构体在大鼠血液、脑区和主要器官中的体内生物分布进行了研究。进行体内阻断研究以揭示两种[125I]OIDV异构体在体内对VAChT的结合选择性。在注射后60分钟进行离体放射自显影以揭示两种[125I]OIDV异构体和(-)-[123I]OIDV在SPECT下的脑区分布。
(-)-[1二十五I]OIDV和(+)-[125I]OIDV对VAChT的结合亲和力(Ki)分别为22.1 nM和79.0 nM。注射后2分钟,(-)-[125I]OIDV的蓄积与(+)-[125I]OIDV相同。然而,(+)-[125I]OIDV从脑中的清除比(-)-[125I]OIDV快。注射后30分钟,(-)-[125I]OIDV在皮质中的蓄积(0.62±0.10%ID/g)高于(+)-[125I]OIDV(0.46±0.07%ID/g)。OIDV结合的抑制表明,(-)-[125I]OIDV选择性蓄积在大鼠脑中已知表达VAChT的区域,离体放射自显影进一步证实了这些结果,显示(-)-[125I]OIDV在这些区域有相似的蓄积。此外,用于SPECT的(-)-[123I]OIDV显示出与(-)-[125I]OIDV相同的脑区分布。
这些结果表明,放射性碘化的(-)-OIDV可能是研究脑中突触前胆碱能神经元的一种潜在有用工具。
