INTRODUCTION: The dopamine transporter (DAT) is intricately associated with a broad spectrum of neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease and various other neurodegenerative conditions. In vivo imaging DAT with radiolabeled tracers has emerged as a prevalent and highly favored approach. This study aims to develop a novel in vivo stable 99mTc-labelled probe [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for DAT-related disorders with the reported [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1 as the leading compound.
METHODS: The deuterated labelling precursor for [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 was synthesized and the 99mTc-labelled radioligand [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 was successfully obtained with radiochemical yield (RCY) > 90 % and radiochemical purity (RCP) > 90 %. In vivo stability of the deuterated probe was evaluated and compared with the non-deuterated [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1 in rodents with radio-HPLC. The specificity and selectivity of the deuterated probe [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 for DAT were assessed through comparative analyses of in vivo biodistribution, blocking experiments, and autoradiography.
RESULTS: Biological distribution results revealed that the target-to-non-target ratio (striatum/cerebellum, ST/CB) for [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 surpassed that of [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1 at 120 min post-injection (3.95 ± 0.39 vs 3.05 ± 0.61, p < 0.05). In vivo metabolism investigations demonstrated that [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 exhibits enhanced in vivo stability in mice compared with [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1. Ex vivo autoradiographic findings indicated that [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 selectively accumulated in the DAT-abundant striatum and its ST/CB ratio was higher than that of [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1 (4.11 ± 0.25 vs 3.27 ± 0.09, p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: A novel in vivo stable 99mTc-labelled SPECT probe [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 targeting DAT was synthesized by deuteration on [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1 with an RCP of >90 %. The deuterated tracer [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 showed good DAT affinity and specificity. Furthermore, [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-d4 with improved in vivo stability provides a higher target-to-non-target ratio than [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1, giving access to a highly promising 99mTc-labelled radioligand for SPECT imaging of DAT in the brain.
