Popis: | Here, we describe the very first attempt to visualize in vivo formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) in mouse brain by positron emission tomography (PET). FPRs are expressed in microglial cells where they mediate chemotactic activity of β-amyloid peptide in Alzheimer disease and, thus, are involved in neuroinflammatory processes. To this purpose, we have selected (2S)-3-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-2-{[(4-methoxyphenyl)carbamoyl]amino}-N-{[1-(5-methoxypyridin-2-yl)cyclohexyl]methyl}propanamide ((S)-1), that we have previously identified as a potent non-peptidic FPR agonist. (S)-[(11) C]-1 has been prepared in high radiochemical yield. (S)-[(11) C]-1 showed very low penetration of blood-brain barrier and, thus, was unable to accumulate into the brain. In addition, (S)-[(11) C]-1 was not able to label FPRs receptors in brain slices of PS19 and APP23 mice, two animal models of Alzheimer disease. Although (S)-[(11) C]-1 was not suitable to visualize FPRs in the brain, this study provides useful information for the design and characterization of future potential PET radioligands for visualization of brain FPRs by PET. |
