Overview • Accelerator Mass Spectrometry • Positron Emission Tomography • Combining AMS/PET • Clinical Design • AMS/PET Data Summary • Conclusions/Applications
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry • Isotope ratio technique • Originally developed for radiocarbon dating • Extremely sensitive • Typically used with 12C/14C
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Injection magnet Ion source Linearaccelerator High energyallows separationof rare 14C fromother isotopes 99.8% 12C Analysingmagnet 1.1% 13C 10-11% 14C
Positron Emission Tomography • PET • Non-invasive nuclear imaging technique • Tissue distribution • Drug labelled with positron emitting radionuclide (e.g. 11C or 18F)
Positron Emission Tomography • 11C 11B + β+ + v + energy (97keV) • PET Camera β+ • 11C • PET Camera
AMS & PET • AMS • Prolonged PK data • Limitation – no distribution information • PET • PK in tissue • Limitation – short term PK only • Combination • Long term PK (AMS) • Brain PK (PET) IN THE SAME SUBJECTS
Clinical Design • Administration of verapamil • Calcium channel inhibitor • P-glycoprotein substrate, crosses blood-brain-barrier • Well documented safety and PK profile • IV dual labelled (R/S)-[14C], (R)-[11C] verapamil (50 µg) Position of dual label (11C and 14C) Chiral centre
Clinical Design (2) IV dual-labelled verapamil (50 μg) IV dual-labelled verapamil (50 μg) Oral verapamil (80 mg) Period 1 Period 2 IV Verapamil = 50 µg(R/S)-[14C] (4.1kBq), (R)-[11C] (407 MBq) • PET scan/arterial plasma collection (0-60 minutes) • Venous plasma collection (0-24 hours) • MRI scan 7 healthy male volunteers 7 healthy male volunteers
Aims • To establish a protocol for microdosing studies • R-verapamil in brain by PET • R- and S-verapamil in plasma by AMS • Assess PK linearity between therapeutic dose and microdose
Quantification of R- and S-verapamil by HPLC-AMS • Separation of R- & S-verapamil by 2D C18-chiral HPLC R-verapamil S-verapamil
Plasma Data Summary R-verapamil Microdose + therapeutic dose Microdose
PET Data Summary PET micro dose PET therapeutic dose MRI SUV 2.8 0
PET Data Summary Total 11C 11C-R-verapamil Arterial plasma Whole brain grey matter
Conclusions • Principle of AMS/PET combination demonstrated • Long term plasma PK obtained along with tissue distribution information • Verapamil shown to be dose linear • Plasma (by AMS) • Brain (by PET) • S-verapamil shows preferential clearance • Proof of concept for combination studies • Applications in brain, tumour, cardiac therapy
