The type-1 glycine transporter (GlyT1) is a target of interest for the development of new medications for schizophrenia. A specific and selective positron emission tomography (PET) GlyT1 ligand would help understand disease heterogeneity and support drug development studies to determine whether a drug is able to engage this target. During the last 3-4 years, a number of potential ligands have been reported both for preclinical and clinical use. Here, we review the most promising candidates reported to date and make recommendations with regard to their use in clinical studies.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that enables the investigation of drug pharmacokinetics in vivo. The technique is especially powerful for pharmacokinetic studies of new CNS drug candidates as tissue samples from the brain are understandably difficult to obtain. The PET technique involves the administration of a radiolabelled molecule whose spatio-temporal distribution can be measured using tomography. The radiolabelled molecule can be the drug under investigation, a structurally different molecule that binds to the same target as the drug candidate or a molecule that interacts with a downstream target that is believed to be affected by the action of the drug candidate. Such radiolabelled probes allow PET to address several questions central for CNS drug development: Does the drug candidate reach the target site? Does the drug candidate interact with the desired target? Is the concentration of the drug at the target site sufficient to illicit an effect? What is the temporal nature of such an interaction? What is the relationship between the target site concentration and the administered dose and/or plasma concentrations?

Jiao J, Schnabel JA, Gunn RN, 2013, A generalised spatio-temporal registration framework for dynamic PET data: Application to neuroreceptor imaging, Pages: 211-218, ISSN: 0302-9743

This work presents a novel pharmacokinetic model based registration algorithm for the motion correction of dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) images. The algorithm employs a generalised model that derives the input function from the tomographic data itself to model the PET tracer kinetics and thus eliminates the need of arterial blood sampling. Both the temporal constraint from the tracer kinetic behaviour and spatial constraint from the image similarity are integrated in a joint probabilistic model, in which the subject motion and tracer kinetic parameters are iteratively optimised, leading to a groupwise registration framework of motion corrupted dynamic PET data. The algorithm is evaluated with simulated and measured human dopamine D3 receptor imaging data using [11C]-(+)-PHNO. The simulation-based validation demonstrates that the new algorithm has a subvoxel registration accuracy on average for noisy data with simulated motion artefacts. The algorithm also shows reductions in motion on initial experiments with measured clinical [ 11C]-(+)-PHNO brain data. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

Guo Q, Colasanti A, Owen DR, Onega M, Kamalakaran A, Bennacef Iet al., 2013, Quantification of the Specific Translocator Protein Signal of18F-PBR111 in Healthy Humans: A Genetic PolymorphismEffect on In Vivo Binding, Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol: 54, Pages: 1-9

PET is used to image active inflammatory processes by targetingthe translocator protein (TSPO). In vitro, second-generation TSPOradioligands, such as PBR111, have been shown to bind to humantissue samples with either high affinity (high-affinity binders, HABs),low affinity (low-affinity binders, LABs), or an intermediate, mixedaffinity (mixed-affinity binders, MABs). We previously explainedthese differences in affinity in human tissue via the rs6971 polymorphismin the TSPO gene and predicted that the specific signalfrom PET ligands in vivo would vary accordingly. In silico modelingpredicted that 18F-PBR111 would have a moderate to high specificto-nonspecific ratio in the normal human brain. To test these predictions,we present here the analysis and modeling of 18F-PBR111data in healthy humans. Methods: Twenty-one subjects (9 HABs, 8MABs, and 4 LABs), 28–62 y old, genotyped for the rs6971 polymorphism,underwent 120-min PET scans with arterial samplingafter a bolus injection of 18F-PBR111. Compartmental models andLogan graphical methods enabled estimation of the total volume ofdistribution (VT) in regions of interest (ROIs). To evaluate the specificsignal, we developed 2 methods to estimate the nondisplaceablevolume of distribution (VND): the first assumed that the in vitro affinityratio of 18F-PBR111 in HABs relative to LABs (4-fold) is preserved invivo; the second modeled the difference in the HAB and MAB signalsin the context of an occupancy plot. Results: A 2-tissue-compartmentmodel described the data well, and a significant differencewas found between the VT of HABs, MABs, and LABs across allROIs examined (P , 0.05). We also found a significant correlationbetween VT and age for both HABs and MABs in most ROIs. Theaverage VND estimated by the 2 methods was 1.18 6 0.35 (methodI: VND 5 0.93, method II: VND 5 1.42), implying that the 18F-PBR111BPND was 2.78 6 0.46 in HABs, 1.48 6 0.28 in MABs, and 0.51 60.17 in LABs and that the in vivo affinity ratio was simil
