Radio-ligand receptor binding assay in vitro and animal biodistribution in vivo of 99Tcm-N-ethyl-N2S2-memantine as a potential NMDA receptor imaging agent
The pharmacologic characteristics of ,99,Tc,m,-N-ethyl-N,2,S,2,-memantine, an NMDA receptor imaging agent, was investigated. It was prepared by a one-step reaction from N-ethyl-N,2,S,2,-memantine. The affinity and specificity were determined by radio-ligand receptor binding assay (RRA). Biodistribution ,in vivo, in mice was performed. The results showed that ,99,Tc,m,-N-ethyl-N,2,S,2,-memantine bound to a single site on NMDA receptor with a ,K,d, of 584.32 nmol/L and a ,B,max, of 267.05 nmol/mg. A competitive analysis showed that such specific binding could be inhibited by specific inhibitors of NMDA receptor, such as ketamine and (+)-MK-801. The biodistribution exhibited rapid uptake and favorable retention in mice brains. The major radioactivity was metabolized by the hepatic system. A two-compartment model of ,C, = 4.49,e,–0.083,t, + 1.42,e,–0.0016,t, was established, and the half life was 8.35 min in blood. In conclusion, the new radio-ligand ,99,Tc,m,-N-ethyl-N,2,S,2,-Memantine has a moderate affinity and specific binding to NMDA receptor, and can easily cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, it may be a potential NMDA receptor imaging agent.
