1 RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS FOR NEUROIMAGING Prof. Cristina Maria Moriguchi Jeckel Brain Institute of Rio Grande do Sul, PUCRS Workshop on Quantitative SPECT and PET Brain Studies BRA6024 PUCRS, Porto Alegre, January 14th 16th, 2013

2 Summary Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism o Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism o Cerebral Glucose Metabolism Neuroreceptors and transporters o Dopamine System o Serotonin System o Cholinergic System o Opiate System o GABA System Neurodegenerative processes o Alzheimer s disease o Parkinson s disease Neuroinflammatory processes Neurooncologic processes

3 Ideal characteristics for any radiopharmaceutical Rapid plasma clearance Low nonspecific binding No peripheral metabolism High membrane permeability and intracellular trapping Specificity and high affinity for molecular targets Specific activity must be high to prevent sites saturation Tissue distribution and target binding should be favorable for developing kinetic modeling to estimate quantitative data Radiation dosimetry favorable for multiple imaging studies Rapid and suitable synthesis

4 Criteria for adequate brain penetration Lipophilicity (Log P or Log D = ) Molecular weight < 450 g/mol Metabolically stable (an absence of functional groups that will strongly ionize at physiological ph) No affinity for efflux pumps (such as PGP) Not a substrate for enzymes at the BBB
