Background:
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been indicated in the development of AD/ADRD. Complex I defects from the ETC of mitochondrial respiration have been associated with ROS production and neurodegeneration. Herein, novel mitochondrial complex I inhibitors were synthesized and biologically characterized to develop complex I PET radiotracers METHOD: Radiochemistry was conducted to radiolabel the identified complex I inhibitor with F-18 and the radiotracer was characterized in mice with PET/CT imaging for its biodistribution and brain penetration.
Result:
The radiotracer can quickly enter the brain and shows a promising clearance profile. Blocking studies with the parent compound demonstrated good specificity.
Conclusion:
A new complex I PET radiotracer was successfully synthesized and characterized in mice by PET/CT studies.
