Purpose: The goal of the present study was to evaluate the reproducibility of cerebral A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) quantification using [18F]CPFPX and PET in a test-retest design.
Methods: Eleven healthy volunteers were studied twice. Eight brain regions ranging from high to low receptor binding were examined. [18F]CPFPX was injected as a bolus with subsequent infusion over 120 min. Various outcome parameters were compared based on either metabolite-corrected venous blood sampling [e.g. apparent equilibrium total distribution volume (DVt')] or a reference region [ratio of specific to non-specific distribution volume (BP2)].
Results: Test-retest variability was low in the outcome measure BP2 (on average 5.9%) and moderate in DVt' (on average 13.2%). Regarding reproducibility, the outcome parameter BP2 showed an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.94 +/- 0.1. For DVt' the between-subject coefficient of variation (%CV) was similar to the within-subject %CV (around 10%), resulting in a poor ICC of 0.06 +/- 0.2.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that quantification of [18F]CPFPX imaging is reproducible and reliable for PET studies of the cerebral A1AR. Among the outcome parameters the non-invasive measures were of superior test-retest stability over the invasive.

Accurate assessment of isolated radiochemical yields (RCYs) is a prerequisite for efficient and reliable optimization of labeling reactions. In practice, radiochemical conversions (RCCs) determined by HPLC analysis of crude reaction mixtures are often used to estimate RCYs. However, incomplete recovery of radioactivity from the stationary phase can lead to significant inaccuracies if RCCs are calculated based on the activity eluted from the column (i.

Purpose: imaging for the A adenosine receptors (AARs) with positron emission tomography (PET) using 8-cyclopentyl-3-(3-[F]fluoropropyl)-1-propylxan- thine ([F]CPFPX) has become an important tool for studying physiological processes quantitatively in mice. However, the measurement of arterial input functions (AIFs) on mice is a method with restricted applicability because of the small total blood volume and the related difficulties in withdrawing blood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to extract an appropriate [F]CPFPX image-derived input function (IDIF) from dynamic PET images of mice.

Introduction: The suitability of novel positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands for quantitative in vivo imaging is affected by various physicochemical and pharmacological parameters. In this study, the combined effect of binding affinity, lipophilicity, protein binding and blood plasma level on cerebral pharmacokinetics and PET imaging characteristics of three xanthine-derived A adenosine receptor (AAR) radioligands was investigated in rats.
Methods: A comparative evaluation of two novel cyclobutyl-substituted xanthine derivatives, 8-cyclobutyl-3-(3-[F]fluoropropyl)-1-propylxanthine ([F]CBX) and 3-(3-[F]fluoropropyl)-8-(1-methylcyclobutyl)-1-propylxanthine ([F]MCBX), with the reference AAR radioligand 8-cyclopentyl-3-(3-[F]fluoropropyl)-1-propylxanthine ([F]CPFPX) was conducted.

Purpose: The A1AR antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-3-(3-fluoropropyl)-1-propylxanthine ([(18)F]CPFPX) has recently been shown to be a suitable radiotracer for quantitative in vivo imaging of the A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) in rats. The present study evaluates the reproducibility of non-invasive longitudinal A1AR studies with [(18)F]CPFPX and a dedicated small animal positron emission tomography (PET) scanner.
Procedures: Twelve male Sprague Dawley rats underwent four repeated dynamic PET scans with a bolus injection of [(18)F]CPFPX.

Unlabelled: In vivo imaging of the A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) using (18)F-8-cyclopentyl-3-(3-fluoropropyl)-1-propylxanthine ((18)F-CPFPX) and PET has become an important tool for studying physiologic and pathologic states of the human brain. However, dedicated experimental settings for small-animal studies are still lacking. The aim of the present study was therefore to develop and evaluate suitable pharmacokinetic models for the quantification of the cerebral A1AR in high-resolution PET.
