ABSTRACT
Targeting receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for various neurodegenerative disorders. The development of a positron emission tomography (PET) probe for brain RIPK1 imaging could offer a valuable tool to assess therapeutic effectiveness and uncover the neuropathology associated with RIPK1. In this study, we present the development and characterization of two new PET radioligands, [11C]PB218 and [11C]PB220, which have the potential to facilitate brain RIPK1 imaging. [11C]PB218 and [11C]PB220 were successfully synthesized with a high radiochemical yield (34 % - 42 %) and molar activity (293 - 314 GBq/µmol). PET imaging characterization of two radioligands was conducted in rodents, demonstrating that both newly developed tracers have good brain penetration (maximum SUV = 0.9 - 1.0) and appropriate brain clearance kinetic profiles. Notably, [11C]PB218 has a more favorable binding specificity than [11C]PB220. A PET/MR study of [11C]PB218 in a non-human primate exhibited good brain penetration, desirable kinetic properties, and a safe profile, thus supporting the translational applicability of our new probe. These investigations enable further translational exploration of [11C]PB218 for drug discovery and PET probe development targeting RIPK1.
