The important roles played by the A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) in brain physiology and pathology make this receptor a target for in vivo imaging. Here we describe the distribution of A1ARs in the living human brain with PET, made possible for the first time by the highly potent and selective A1AR antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-3-(3-[18F]fluoropropyl)-1-propylxanthine ([18F]CPFPX). In vivo data demonstrate a rapid cerebral uptake, peaking at 2.9 ± 0.6% injected dose/liter at 3.3 ± 1.3 min, followed by a gradual washout. Consistent with the results of autoradiography, high receptor densities occurred in the putamen and the mediodorsal thalamus. Neocortical regions showed regional differences in [18F]CPFPX binding, with high accumulation in temporal > occipital > parietal > frontal lobes and a lower level of binding in the sensorimotor cortex. Ligand accumulation was low in cerebellum, midbrain, and brain stem. Metabolism of [18F]CPFPX is rapid outside the central nervous system, but the metabolites do not penetrate the blood–brain barrier. In conclusion, in vivo application of [18F]CPFPX, a highly potent and selective PET ligand, for the first time allows the imaging of A1ARs in the living human brain. |
