Kinetic Analysis of [11C]Vorozole Binding in the Human Brain with Positron Emission Tomography.
Using positron emission tomography, we investigated the kinetics of [11C]vorozole ([11C]VOR), a radiotracer for the enzyme aromatase that catalyzes the last step in estrogen biosynthesis. Six subjects were scanned under baseline conditions followed by retest 2 weeks later. The retest was followed by a blocking study with 2.5 mg of the aromatase inhibitor letrozole. The binding potential (BPAd) ...
متن کاملIn vivo quantification of the [11C]DASB binding in the normal canine brain using positron emission tomography
BACKGROUND [(11)C]-3-amino-4-(2-dimethylaminomethyl-phenylsulfanyl)-benzonitrile ([(11)C]DASB) is currently the mostly used radiotracer for positron emission tomography (PET) quantitative studies of the serotonin transporter (SERT) in the human brain but has never been validated in dogs. The first objective was therefore to evaluate normal [(11)C]DASB distribution in different brain regions of ...
متن کاملMapping the cerebral monoamine oxidase type A: positron emission tomography characterization of the reversible selective inhibitor [11C]befloxatone.
Befloxatone is a competitive and reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase-A (MAOI-A). The aim of the study was to characterize the in vivo properties of [(11)C]befloxatone and to validate its use as a ligand for the study of MAO-A by positron emission tomography (PET). PET studies were performed in baboons after i.v. injection of [(11)C]befloxatone (551 +/- 70 MBq, i.e.14.9 +/- 1.9 mCi). [(11)...
متن کاملIn vivo imaging of vesicular monoamine transporters in human brain using [11C]tetrabenazine and positron emission tomography.
The pharmacokinetics of [11C]tetrabenazine, a high-affinity radioligand for the monoamine vesicular transporter, were determined in living human brain using in vivo imaging by positron emission tomography (PET). The radiotracer showed high brain uptake and rapid washout from all brain regions with relatively slower clearance from regions of highest concentrations of monoamine vesicular transpor...
متن کاملImaging of adenosine A1 receptors in the human brain by positron emission tomography with [11C]MPDX.
We report the first clinical PET study using [1-methyl-11C]8-dicyclopropylmethyl-1-methyl-3-propylxanthine ([11C]MPDX) for imaging adenosine A1 receptors in the human brain. The binding of [11C]MPDX evaluated quantitatively as the distribution volume by a graphical analysis was high in the striatum and thalamus, and low in the cerebellum. The distribution pattern of [11C]MPDX was coincident wit...
