Objectives Sigma1 receptor (σ1), found in plasma, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticular membranes and involved in many cellular functions of the endocrine, immune, and nervous systems, is a promising target for novel concepts in diagnostics and therapy of cancer and brain diseases. To support such research by molecular imaging of σ1, we have comparatively evaluated the 18F-labelled (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of the σ1 ligand fluspidine in pigs. Methods (R)- and (S)-[18F]fluspidine were synthesized from enantiopure tosylate precursors with high specific activities (650-870 GBq/µmol) and radiochemical purity (>99%). Brain pharmacokinetics were investigated by dynamic PET studies in anaesthetized pigs under baseline (n=3 per enantiomer) and blocking conditions (n=3 per enantiomer) using σ1 selective SA4503. SUVs were calculated for 24 MR-defined brain regions. One- and two-tissue compartment modeling was applied to calculate individual rate constants, total distribution volumes (VT) and binding potentials of (R)- and (S)-[18F]fluspidine. Furthermore, VT was estimated from graphical Logan plot analyses. Organ doses (ODs) and effective doses (ED) of both radiotracers were determined in CD-1 mice and an extended single dose toxicity study of (S)-fluspidine was performed in SPRD rats. Results (R)- and (S)-[18F]fluspidine displayed significantly different brain uptake kinetics. Although initial SUVs were similar (R)-[18F]fluspidine showed higher values (60-150%) at 120 min p.i. Brain distribution in pigs correlated with brain distribution in CD-1 mice (Fig. 1). SA4503 reduced SUVs and k3 of both radiotracers by ~65% and 70-95%, respectively, in almost all brain regions (Fig. 1B, C), while effects on k4 differed region-specific. VT values estimated by full nonlinear kinetic and Logan analyses correlated highly and revealed also a significant decrease in all brain regions for both radiotracers by SA4503. The expected EDs of (R)- and (S)-[18F]fluspidine to humans are 31 and 28 µSv/MBq, respectively, and up to 620 µg (S)-fluspidine/kg no test item related effects were observed in the toxicity study. Conclusion Both [18F]fluspidine enantiomers appear to be suitable for σ1 imaging in human brain. The different pharmacokinetics of (R)-[18F]fluspidine and (S)-[18F]fluspidine may be translated into diagnostic imaging of different pathological conditions such as degenerative as well as cancerous processes.
