Evaluation of radio-thin-layer chromatography as an alternative to radio-HPLC for [18F]SynVesT-1 metabolism analysis in rats
Purpose
Alterations in synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) are linked to various neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with radiotracers targeting SV2A, such as [18F]SynVesT-1, has proven effective for monitoring these changes. However, SV2A PET quantification using kinetic modeling requires radiometabolite analysis, which presents challenges, particularly in preclinical longitudinal studies due to the relatively large sample volume required by the standard radio-high-performance liquid chromatography (radio-HPLC) method. This study aimed to evaluate radio-thin layer chromatography combined with autoradiography (radio-TLC/AR) as an alternative to radio-HPLC in rat plasma radiometabolite analysis.
Methods
All rats received intravenous infusions of [18F]SynVesT-1. Arterial blood samples were collected at predetermined time points for up to 60 min post injection. [18F]SynVesT-1 radiometabolites in plasma and brain were assessed using both radio-HPLC and radio-TLC/AR.
Results
We observed a decline in [18F]SynVesT-1 plasma concentrations within the first 5 min post-injection. The parent fractions obtained by the radio-HPLC method significantly correlated with those obtained using radio-TLC/AR (R2 = 0.99, p < 0.0001). While radio-HPLC detected minimal radiometabolites in the brain (1.34 % ± 0.83 %, n = 4), these radiometabolites were not identifiable in selected brain regions using the radio-TLC/AR method (n = 1).
Conclusion
We were able to reliably evaluate the parent fractions of [18F]SynVesT-1 in plasma over a 60-min period using normal-phase radio-TLC/AR as an alternative to radio-HPLC. This approach requires less plasma and is less time-consuming with high reproducibility. Future studies will focus on applying this radio-TLC/AR method for metabolism correction of input functions, in the quantitative analysis of PET imaging data using kinetic modeling.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine and Biology publishes original research addressing all aspects of radiopharmaceutical science: synthesis, in vitro and ex vivo studies, in vivo biodistribution by dissection or imaging, radiopharmacology, radiopharmacy, and translational clinical studies of new targeted radiotracers. The importance of the target to an unmet clinical need should be the first consideration. If the synthesis of a new radiopharmaceutical is submitted without in vitro or in vivo data, then the uniqueness of the chemistry must be emphasized.
These multidisciplinary studies should validate the mechanism of localization whether the probe is based on binding to a receptor, enzyme, tumor antigen, or another well-defined target. The studies should be aimed at evaluating how the chemical and radiopharmaceutical properties affect pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, or therapeutic efficacy. Ideally, the study would address the sensitivity of the probe to changes in disease or treatment, although studies validating mechanism alone are acceptable. Radiopharmacy practice, addressing the issues of preparation, automation, quality control, dispensing, and regulations applicable to qualification and administration of radiopharmaceuticals to humans, is an important aspect of the developmental process, but only if the study has a significant impact on the field.
Contributions on the subject of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals also are appropriate provided that the specificity of labeled compound localization and therapeutic effect have been addressed.
