Résumé

Age-related neurodegenerative diseases have in common the occurrence of cognitive impairment, a highly incapacitating process that involves the cholinergic neurotransmission system. The vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) positron emission tomography (PET) tracer [18F]fluoroethoxybenzovesamicol ((−)-[18F]FEOBV) has recently demonstrated its high value to detect alterations of the cholinergic system in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy body. We present here the development of the new vesamicol derivative tracer (−)-(R,R)-5-[18F]fluorobenzovesamicol ((−)[18F]FBVM) that we compared to (−)[18F]FEOBV in the same experimental conditions. We show that: i) in vitro affinity for the VAChT was 50-fold higher for (−)FBVM (Ki = 0.9 ± 0.3 nM) than for (−)FEOBV (Ki = 61 ± 2.8 nM); ii) in vivo in rats, a higher signal-to-noise specific brain uptake and a lower binding to plasma proteins and peripheral defluorination were obtained for (−)[18F]FBVM compared to (−)[18F]FEOBV. Our findings demonstrate that (−)[18F]FBVM is a highly promising PET imaging tracer which could be sufficiently sensitive to detect in humans the cholinergic denervation that occurs in brain areas having a low density of VAChT such as the cortex and hippocampus.
