We developed novel PET probes, 2-tert-butyl-4-chloro-5-{6-[2-(2-F-18-fluoroethoxy)-ethoxy]-pyridin-3-ylmethoxy}-2H-pyridazin-3-one (F-18-BCPP-EF) and 2-tert-butyl-4-chloro-5-[6-(4-F-18-fluorobutoxy)-pyridin-3-ylmethoxy]-2H-pyridazin-3-one (F-18-BCPP-BF), for quantitative imaging of mitochondrial complex I (MC-I) activity in the brain and preliminarily evaluated their properties in comparison with F-18-BMS-747158-02 (F-18-BMS). Methods: The affinity of F-18-BCPP-EF, F-18-BCPP-BF, and F-18-BMS to MC-I was analyzed using in vitro binding assays with H-3-dihydrorotenone and bovine cardiomyocyte submitochondrial particles. F-18-BCPP-EF, F-18-BCPP-BF, or F-18-BMS was intravenously injected into rats, and the uptake (standardized uptake value) in each organ was determined by dissection method. The effects of rotenone, a specific MC-I inhibitor, on the uptake of each probe were assessed by whole-body PET imaging in rats. Ischemic brain model rats were imaged using F-18-BCPP-EF. Results: The rank order of affinity to MC-I was F-18-BCPP-BF > F-18-BMS > F-18-BCPP-EF. The uptake of F-18-BCPP-EF and F-18-BMS was high in the heart, intermediate in brain, and low in muscle and bone 60 min after the injection. F-18-BCPP-BF provided increasing bone uptake with time after the injection. The uptake of F-18-BCPP-EF and F-18-BMS into the brain and heart was significantly decreased by preadministration of rotenone; however, the reduction degree of F-18-BCPP-EF was more pronounced than that of F-18-BMS. Rotenone did not affect F-18-BCPP-BF uptake in either the brain or the heart. F-18-BCPP-EF imaged the cortical ischemic neuronal damage without any disturbance by microglial activation even on day 7 when F-18-FDG showed high uptake in the damaged area. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that F-18-BCPP-EF could be a potential PET probe for quantitative imaging of MC-I activity and its ischemic damage in the living brain with PET.
