ACTIVE MOIETY
Results: Five AD and 4 controls were high-affinity binders (HABs). Three AD and 3 controls were mixed-affinity binders. In the medial temporal cortex, a significant difference of VT (p=0.044) was found if the TSPO binding profile was entered as covariate. If only HABs were included, significant differences of VT (p<0.05, Figure) were found in the medial and lateral temporal cortex, caudate, putamen, thalamus, posterior cingulate, and cerebellum. Conclusions: (18F)FEMPA seems to be a suitable radioligand to detect increased TSPO binding in AD if the binding status is taken into account.
ACTIVE MOIETY
The distribution kinetics of (18)F-FEMPA was evaluated by in vivo PET/CT imaging. (18)F-FEMPA uptake was compared in atherosclerotic (LDLR(-/-)ApoB(100/100), n = 10) and healthy mice (C57BL/6 N, n = 7) ex vivo at twenty minutes post-injection. Biodistribution was analyzed from harvested tissue samples, and aortas were sectioned for autoradiography. Aortas of LDLR(-/-)ApoB(100/100) mice showed large, macrophage-rich atherosclerotic plaques. In vivo, (18)F-FEMPA showed rapid blood clearance but no difference in aortic uptake between atherosclerotic and healthy mice. In the mice studied ex vivo at 20 minutes post-injection, quantification of radioactivity in the whole aorta showed 1.3-fold higher (18)F-FEMPA accumulation in atherosclerotic than healthy mice (P = .028). Autoradiography showed higher tracer uptake in plaque areas with high macrophage content as compared with areas of no macrophages (count densities 190 +/- 54 vs 40 +/- 13 PSL/mm(2), P < .001), but the uptake in the plaques was not higher than in the normal vessel wall (230 +/- 78 PSL/mm(2)).
