This study reported a fully automated radiosynthetic procedure of a novel tau tracer [F-18]-S16 and evaluated its safety, biodistribution, and dosimetry in healthy volunteers as well as its potential utility in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results showed that [F-18]-S16 could be synthesized automatically with favorable biodistribution and safety in humans. [F-18]-S16 PET demonstrated high image quality for imaging tau deposition in AD and distinguishing AD from healthy controls.
Background: The goal of this study was to report a fully automated radiosynthetic procedure of a novel tau tracer [F-18]-S16 and its safety, biodistribution, and dosimetry in healthy volunteers as well as the potential utility of [F-18]-S16 positron emission tomography (PET) in Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods: The automated radiosynthesis of [F-18]-S16 was performed on a GE Tracerlab FX2 N module. For the biodistribution and dosimetry study, healthy volunteers underwent a series of PET scans acquired at 10, 60, 120, and 240 min post-injection. The biodistribution and safety were assessed. For the AD study, both AD and healthy controls (HCs) underwent dynamic [F-18]-S16 and static [F-18]-FDG PET imaging. [F-18]-S16 binding was assessed quantitatively using standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs) measured at different regions of interest (ROIs). [F-18]-S16 SUVRs were compared between the AD patients and HCs using the Mann-Whitney U-test. In AD patients with all cortical ROIs, Spearman rank-correlation analysis was used to calculate the voxel-wise correlations between [F-18]-S16 and [F-18]-FDG.Results: The automated radiosynthesis of [F-18]-S16 was finished within 45 min, with a radiochemical yield of 30 +/- 5% (n = 8, non-decay-corrected). The radiochemical purity was greater than 98%, and the specific activity was calculated to be 1,047 +/- 450 GBq/mu mol (n = 5), and [F-18]-S16 was stable in vitro. In the healthy volunteer study, no adverse effect was observed within 24 h post-injection, and no defluorination was observed in vivo. The radiotracer could pass through the blood-brain barrier easily and was rapidly cleared from the circulation and excreted through the hepatic system. The whole-body mean effective dose was 15.3 +/- 0.3 mu Sv/MBq. In AD patients, [F-18]-S16 accumulation was identified as involving the parietal, temporal, precuneus, posterior cingulate, and frontal lobes. No specific [F-18]-S16 cerebral uptake was identified in HCs. The SUVR of AD patients was significantly higher than that of HCs. No specific binding uptake was found in the choroid plexus, venous sinus, and white matter. A significant correlation was found between [F-18]-S16 binding and hypometabolism across neocortical regions.Conclusion: [F-18]-S16 could be synthesized automatically, and it showed favorable biodistribution and safety in humans. [F-18]-S16 PET indicated a high image quality for imaging tau deposition in AD and distinguishing AD from HCs.
