Reversible opening of the blood-brain barrier by mannitol increases brain uptake of 99mTc-TRODAT-1
To determine whether the reversible opening of blood-brain barrier is able to increase the brain uptake of 99m Tc-TRODAT-1; Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were infused with mannitol via femoral vein at rates 0.25mL/kg·s for opening blood-brain barrier
GBR12909 was used to characterize the pharmacological specificity of 99m Tc-TRODAT-1 for dopamine transporters after infusion of mannitol. After infusion of mannitol
the brain uptake of 99m Tc-TRODAT-1 showed a dramatic increase
but no effect on striatum/cerebellum and pharmacological specificity of 99m Tc-TRODAT-1. This study shows that the reversible opening of blood-brain barrier with mannitol may be a useful approach to improve brain uptake of 99m Tc-TRODAT-1 and other 99m Tc-labeled specific receptor imaging agents.
