ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Sirtuins (SIRTs) comprise a group of histone deacetylase enzymes crucial for regulating metabolic pathways and contributing significantly to various disease mechanisms. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), among the seven known mammalian homologs, is extensively investigated and understood, playing a key role in neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. This study focuses on potential as a therapeutic target for conditions such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods:
Utilizing positron emission tomography (PET) as a noninvasive molecular imaging modality, we aimed to expedite the validation of a promising sirtuin 1 inhibitor for clinical trials. However, the absence of a validated sirtuin 1 PET radiotracer impedes clinical translation. We present the development of [11C]1, and 11C-labeled benzoxazine-based derivative, as a lead imaging probe. The radiosynthesis of [11C]1 resulted in a radiochemical yield of 31 ± 4%.Results:
Baseline studies demonstrated that [11C]1 exhibited excellent blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration capability, with uniform accumulation throughout various brain regions. Self-blocking studies revealed that introducing an unlabeled compound 1, effectively blocking sirtuin 1, led to a substantial reduction in whole-brain uptake, emphasizing the in vivo specificity of [11C]1 for sirtuin 1.Discussion:
The development of [11C]1 provides a valuable tool for noninvasive imaging investigations in rodent models with aberrant sirtuin 1 expression. This novel radiotracer holds promise for advancing our understanding of sirtuin 1's role in disease mechanisms and may facilitate the validation of sirtuin 1 inhibitors in clinical trials.Palavras-chave
