PET studies were carried out on brain dopamine D1 receptors using two new ligands, [11C]SCH 39166 and [11C]NNC 756.
Four normal subjects and eight predominantly unilateral patients with early Parkinson's disease were investigated. Each of them underwent both a PET scan with [11C]SCH 39166 and one with [11C]NNC 756. A dose of about 185 MBq (5 mCi) of these ligands was administered intravenously and a dynamic PET scan with an ECAT 931/08 PET camera was carried out. Ratios between the striatal and cerebellar uptake of these compounds were calculated.
Both [11C]SCH 39166 and [11C]NNC 756 accumulated in the striatum. There was also some neocortical binding; 75% of the striatal value in the case of [11C]SCH 39166 and 60% with [11C]NNC 756 which displayed higher (p < 0.01) uptake in the striatum than [11C]SCH 39166. There were no significant side-to-side differences in the controls nor in the parkinsonian patients.
These results imply that both [11C]SCH 39166 and [11C]NNC 756 can be used in PET studies for the visualization and quantification of dopamine D1 receptors. Since [11C]NNC 756 has a significantly better signal-to-noise ratio in the striatum than [11C]SCH 39166, it seems to offer definite advantages for studies of D1 receptors.
使用两种新的配体[11C]SCH 39166和[11C]NNC 756对脑多巴胺D1受体进行了正电子发射断层扫描(PET)研究。
对4名正常受试者和8名主要为单侧患病的早期帕金森病患者进行了研究。他们每人都接受了一次用[11C]SCH 39166的PET扫描和一次用[11C]NNC 756的PET扫描。静脉注射约185 MBq(5 mCi)的这些配体,并使用ECAT 931/08 PET相机进行动态PET扫描。计算了这些化合物在纹状体和小脑摄取之间的比率。
[11C]SCH 39166和[11C]NNC 756都在纹状体中蓄积。也有一些新皮质结合;[11C]SCH 39166的新皮质结合为纹状体值的75%,[11C]NNC 756的为60%,[11C]NNC 756在纹状体中的摄取高于[11C]SCH 39166(p < 0.01)。对照组和帕金森病患者两侧之间均无显著差异。
这些结果表明,[11C]SCH 39166和[11C]NNC 756均可用于PET研究,以可视化和定量多巴胺D1受体。由于[11C]NNC 756在纹状体中的信噪比明显优于[11C]SCH 39166,它似乎为D1受体研究提供了明确的优势。
