BackgroundThe imaging of ß-amyloid (Aß) in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), may support the earlier and more accurate diagnosis of AD. In the past few years, several Aß imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET) have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, but there is still no single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) agent for the clinical diagnosis of AD. Since SPECT is more useful than PET in terms of routine clinical use, the development of a SPECT radiotracer has been a critical issue. The aim of this research is to assess a novel radioiodinated agent as a potential imaging biomarker for Aß in brain.MethodsThe radioiodinated imidazopyridine derivative ([123I] ABC577) was designed and prepared as a candidate for novel SPECT Aß imaging agent. The binding of [123I] ABC577 to Aß was evaluated by saturation binding assay and in vitro autoradiography using postmortem AD brain tissues. In addition, the biodistribution experiments using normal rats were performed to evaluate the biokinetics and radiation dosimetry of [123I] ABC577. Furthermore, to assess the pharmacological profile of ABC577, the binding assays for various kinds of receptors and transporters were carried out. The safety of ABC577 was also evaluated by extended single-dose toxicity study. We performed a clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of [123I] ABC577 in humans.ResultsNo-carrier-added radioiodinated [123I] ABC577 was successfully prepared through an iododestannylation reaction from the corresponding tributyltin derivative. In a saturation binding assay using brain homogenates of AD patients,[123I] ABC577 showed high binding affinity for Aß (Kd= 1.83 nM).[123I] ABC577 clearly demonstrated not only specific binding to Aß but also very low nonspecific binding to white matter in autoradiographic studies using postmortem AD brain sections. In biodistribution experiments using normal rats,[123I] ABC577 showed high brain uptake (0.788% ID/g at 2 min) and rapid clearance from the brain (0.044% ID/g at 60 min). The estimated effective doses of [123I] ABC577 were similar to those of other nuclear medicine agents. In receptor binding assays, no remarkable inhibition was observed for various receptors and transporters (eg, DA, 5-HT, GABA, Histamine) at 10 Âμmol/L concentrations of ABC577. Extended single-dose toxicity study demonstrated the safety of ABC577. In a clinical study,[123I] ABC577 demonstrated a favorable safety profile and a good ability to differentiate AD patients from controls.ConclusionsPreliminary data suggest that [123I] ABC577 may be a useful SPECT imaging tool to identify Aß in the human brain. The availability of a SPECT Aß tracer may provide increased accessibility to an imaging diagnostic tool for AD.
