PG - 93-97 LID - S0969-8051(20)30283-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.nucmedbio.2020.10.003 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: The deposition of islet amyloid composed of amylin aggregates is related to beta-cell mass dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and it may be involved in the development and progression of T2DM. In this study, we newly designed, synthesized, and evaluated a radiogallium-labeled pyridyl benzofuran derivative ([(67/68)Ga]GPBF) as an amylin imaging probe. METHODS: An in vitro competitive inhibition assay was performed to determine the binding affinity for amylin aggregates. An in vitro autoradiographic study was carried out using pancreatic sections from a T2DM patient. A biodistribution of [(67)Ga]GPBF in normal mice was evaluated. Finally, we carried out ex vivo autoradiography using mouse transplanted with amylin aggregates. RESULTS: GPBF exhibited binding affinity for amylin aggregates in vitro. In addition, [(67)Ga]GPBF clearly labeled islet amyloids in in vitro autoradiography of a T2DM pancreatic section. In a biodistribution study using normal mice, [(67)Ga]GPBF showed initial uptake into the pancreas, but non-specific accumulation in the liver, spleen, and pancreas was also observed. Furthermore, an ex vivo autoradiogram demonstrated that [(67)Ga]GPBF bound to amylin aggregates in the pancreas of the amylin aggregate-transplanted mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide useful insights into the development of radiogallium labeled probes that target amylin aggregates in the T2DM pancreas. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
