UNLABELLED: We recently developed a novel PET probe, 6-(11)C-methyl-m-tyrosine ((11)C-6MemTyr), for quantitative imaging of presynaptic dopamine synthesis in the living brain. In the present study, (11)C-6MemTyr was compared with β-(11)C-l-DOPA and 6-(18)F-fluoro-l-dopa ((18)F-FDOPA) in the brains of normal and Parkinson disease (PD) model monkeys (Macaca fascicularis).
METHODS: PD model monkeys were prepared by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) administration, and (11)C-β-CFT was applied to assess neuronal damage as dopamine transporter (DAT) availability. (11)C-6MemTyr, β-(11)C-l-DOPA, or (18)F-FDOPA was injected with and without carbidopa, a specific inhibitor of peripheral aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase. In normal and PD monkeys, the dopamine synthesis rates calculated using PET probes were analyzed by the correlation plot with DAT availability in the striatum.
RESULTS: In normal monkeys, whole-brain uptake of β-(11)C-l-DOPA and (18)F-FDOPA were significantly increased by carbidopa at the clinical dose of 5 mg/kg by mouth. In contrast, (11)C-6MemTyr was not affected by carbidopa at this dose, and the metabolic constant value of (11)C-6MemTyr in the striatum was significantly higher than those of the other 2 PET probes. Significant reduction of the presynaptic DAT availability in the striatum was detected in MPTP monkeys, and correlation analyses demonstrated that (11)C-6MemTyr could detect dopaminergic damage in the striatum with much more sensitivity than the other PET probes.
CONCLUSION: (11)C-6MemTyr is a potential PET probe for quantitative imaging of presynaptic dopamine activity in the living brain with PET.
