[11C]quinidine and [11C]laniquidar PET imaging in a chronic rodent epilepsy model: impact of epilepsy and drug-responsiveness.
    Nuclear medicine and biology, 2013, Volume: 40, Issue:6

    To analyse the impact of both epilepsy and pharmacological modulation of P-glycoprotein on brain uptake and kinetics of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers [(11)C]quinidine and [(11)C]laniquidar.. Metabolism and brain kinetics of both [(11)C]quinidine and [(11)C]laniquidar were assessed in naive rats, electrode-implanted control rats, and rats with spontaneous recurrent seizures. The latter group was further classified according to their response to the antiepileptic drug phenobarbital into "responders" and "non-responders". Additional experiments were performed following pre-treatment with the P-glycoprotein modulator tariquidar.. [(11)C]quinidine was metabolized rapidly, whereas [(11)C]laniquidar was more stable. Brain concentrations of both radiotracers remained at relatively low levels at baseline conditions. Tariquidar pre-treatment resulted in significant increases of [(11)C]quinidine and [(11)C]laniquidar brain concentrations. In the epileptic subgroup "non-responders", brain uptake of [(11)C]quinidine in selected brain regions reached higher levels than in electrode-implanted control rats. However, the relative response to tariquidar did not differ between groups with full blockade of P-glycoprotein by 15 mg/kg of tariquidar. For [(11)C]laniquidar differences between epileptic and control animals were only evident at baseline conditions but not after tariquidar pretreatment.. We confirmed that both [(11)C]quinidine and [(11)C]laniquidar are P-glycoprotein substrates. At full P-gp blockade, tariquidar pre-treatment only demonstrated slight differences for [(11)C]quinidine between drug-resistant and drug-sensitive animals.
