项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant application proposes the design, synthesis, and evaluation (in vitro and in vivo) of new PET (positron Emission Tomography) radioligands for in vivo imaging of the ?---aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter localized in the presynaptic neuronal membrane. Although GABA is one of the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitters in the mammalian brain, and dysfunctioning of the GABA system is evident in such important human diseases as epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism, there are currently no in vivo imaging agents for studies of the presynaptic GABA---ergic innervation in the human brain. The specific aims of this project are the synthesis of a series of diarylalkenyl ether nipecotic acid analogs of the clinically used drug tiagabine (Gabatril(R)) and evaluation of their in vitro binding affinitie and lipophilicity. Candidate compounds with low nanomolar affinities, and appropriate lipophilicity, will be radiolabeled with carbon---11 or fluorine---18 and tested in vivo in rodentsto determine blood---brain---barrier permeability, metabolism, brain pharmacokinetics, and pharmacological specificity for the GABA transporter type 1 (GAT---1). The most promising radiotracers will then be evaluated in the rhesus monkey brain, to determine pharmacokinetics and potential for quantitative measures of GABA---ergic neuron innervation. The goal of the project is to identify candidate radioligands with suitable brain uptake and pharmacokinetics for further development into PET radiopharmaceuticals for non---invasive studies of the GABA neuronal system in human neurological and psychiatric diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：本拨款申请提出了用于 γ-氨基丁酸 (GABA) 转运蛋白体内成像的新型 PET（正电子发射断层扫描）放射性配体的设计、合成和评估（体外和体内）定位于突触前神经元膜。尽管GABA是哺乳动物大脑中主要的抑制性神经递质之一，并且GABA系统的功能障碍在癫痫、精神分裂症和自闭症等重要的人类疾病中很明显，但目前还没有用于研究突触前GABA的体内成像剂—— -人脑的能神经支配。该项目的具体目标是合成一系列二芳基烯基醚哌啶酸类似物临床使用药物噻加宾（Gabatril(R)）及其体外结合亲和力和亲脂性评价。具有低纳摩尔亲和力和适当亲脂性的候选化合物将用碳---11或氟---18进行放射性标记，并在啮齿类动物体内进行测试，以确定血液---脑---屏障通透性、代谢、脑药代动力学和1 型 GABA 转运蛋白 (GAT---1) 的药理学特异性。然后将在恒河猴大脑中评估最有前途的放射性示踪剂，以确定药代动力学和定量测量 GABA（能神经元神经支配）的潜力。该项目的目标是确定具有合适脑摄取和药代动力学的候选放射性配体，以进一步开发成 PET 放射性药物，用于人类神经和精神疾病中 GABA 神经元系统的非侵入性研究。
