Development and evaluation of deuterated [18F]JHU94620 isotopologues for the non-invasive assessment of the cannabinoid type 2 receptor in brain
Background
The cannabinoid type 2 receptors (CB2R) represent a target of increasing importance in neuroimaging due to its upregulation under various neuropathological conditions. Previous evaluation of [18F]JHU94620 for the non-invasive assessment of the CB2R availability by positron emission tomography (PET) revealed favourable binding properties and brain uptake, however rapid metabolism, and generation of brain-penetrating radiometabolites have been its main limitations. To reduce the bias of CB2R quantification by blood–brain barrier (BBB)-penetrating radiometabolites, we aimed to improve the metabolic stability by developing -d4 and -d8 deuterated isotopologues of [18F]JHU94620.
Results
The deuterated [18F]JHU94620 isotopologues showed improved metabolic stability avoiding the accumulation of BBB-penetrating radiometabolites in the brain over time. CB2R-specific binding with KD values in the low nanomolar range was determined across species. Dynamic PET studies revealed a CB2R-specific and reversible uptake of [18F]JHU94620-d8 in the spleen and to a local hCB2R(D80N) protein overexpression in the striatal region in rats.
Conclusion
These results support further investigations of [18F]JHU94620-d8 in pathological models and tissues with a CB2R overexpression as a prerequisite for clinical translation.
