Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Due to the limited availability of suitable positron emission tomography (PET) tracers, the majority of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) scans is performed using SPECT rather than PET. AIM: The aim of this study is to design and synthesize carbon-11-labeled ammonium salt derivatives and explore their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and their potential as PET-MPI agents. METHODS AND RESULTS: Three carbon-11-labeled ammonium salts were developed. SAR of the labeled compounds were explored vis-à-vis the effects of charge density and lipophilicity on the distribution kinetics in mice. These studies pointed at [(11)C]4 as the lead compound. Comparative microPET/CT scans in healthy rats, using both [(11)C]4 and [(13) N]-NH(3), substantiated the potential of [(11)C]4 ([(11)C]-DMDPA). A proof of concept for the potential of radiolabeled ammonium salts as MPI agents has been demonstrated in a newly developed swine model of permanent partial coronary artery occlusion. CONCLUSIONS: SAR studies of (11)C-labeled ammonium salts suggest that both lipophilicity and charge density affect the performance of these compounds as MPI probes. In a swine model, the labeled lead successfully visualized the defect regions in the myocardium. The data presented call for the development of fluorine-18 analogues, to increase clinical impact.
