This article describes the experimental set-up and pharmacokinetic modeling of P-glycoprotein function in the rat blood-brain barrier using [(11)C]verapamil as the substrate and cyclosporin A as an inhibitor of P-gp. [(11)C]verapamil was administered to rats as an i.v. bolus dose followed by graded infusions to obtain steady-state concentrations in the brain during 70 min. CsA was administered as a bolus followed by a constant infusion 20 min after the start of the [(11)C]verapamil infusion. The brain uptake of [(11)C]verapamil over 2 h was portrayed in a sequence of PET scans in parallel with measurement of [(11)C]verapamil concentrations in blood and plasma and CsA concentrations in blood. Mixed effects modeling in NONMEM was used to build a pharmacokinetic model of CsA-induced P-gp inhibition. The brain pharmacokinetics of [(11)C]verapamil was well described by a two-compartment model. The effect of CsA on the uptake of [(11)C]verapamil in the brain was best described by an inhibitory indirect effect model with an effect on the transport of [(11)C]verapamil out of the brain. The CsA concentration required to obtain 50% of the maximal inhibition was 4.9 microg/mL (4.1 microM). The model parameters indicated that 93% of the outward transport of [(11)C]verapamil was P-gp mediated.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) describes the resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy and has been ascribed to the overexpression of drug efflux pumps. Molecular imaging of drug efflux pumps is helpful to identify the patients who may be resistant to the chemotherapy and thus will avoid the unnecessary treatment and increase the therapeutic effectiveness. Imaging probes targeting drug efflux pumps can non-invasively evaluate the Pgp function and play an important role in identification of MDR, prediction of response, and monitoring MDR modulation.

ABC transporters at the human blood-brain barrier protect the brain against the entry of harmful compounds but may also limit (or prevent) the cerebral entry of therapeutic drugs (e.g. anti-epileptics, antidepressants and antipsychotics).

Capillary endothelial cells in the brain express P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which works as a functional blood-brain barrier (BBB). P-gp pumps out multiple types of molecules from the brain parenchyma into the blood. Therefore, altered P-gp function at the BBB will change the concentrations of therapeutic drugs in the central nervous system (CNS) and hence impact the toxicity and efficacy of CNS drugs.

P-glycoprotein function is associated with a number of neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases as well as with pharmacoresistance to for example antiepileptic drugs. The ability to measure P-gp function in vivo would allow for an increased understanding of the mechanisms of disease and treatment. This review assesses the various approaches to in vivo quantification of P-gp function using currently available P-gp tracers and PET in humans.
