Preclinical In Vitro and In Vivo Characterization of Synaptic Vesicle 2A–Targeting Compounds Amenable to F-18 Labeling as Potential PET Radioligands for Imaging of Synapse Integrity
2019
Purpose Current synaptic vesicle 2A (SV2A) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents include the nanomolar affinity probes [11C]UCB-J and [18F]UCB-H derived from the anti-epileptic drug levitaracetam (Keppra®). An industry-utilized “de-risking” approach was used to carry out initial pharmacological characterization and to assess potential next-generation candidates amenable to F-18 radiolabeling for preliminary evaluation.
