Abstract

Although in vitro theory indicates that ligand binding is sensitive to competition with neurotransmitters, only some imaging ligands have shown such competition in vivo. The purpose of this study was to determine whether increases in acetylcholine (ACh) levels induced by an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, physostigmine, inhibit in vivo binding of [123 I]5‐iodo‐3‐(2(S)‐2‐azetidinyl‐methoxy) pyridine (5‐I‐A‐85380), a single photon emission computed tomography ligand for the high‐affinity type nicotinic ACh receptor (nAChR). Baboons were used for seven studies with a bolus plus constant infusion equilibrium paradigm. After achieving equilibrium at 5 h, physostigmine (0.02 (n = 1), 0.067 (n = 3), and 0.2 (n = 3) mg/kg) was administered intravenously and data were acquired for up to 8 h. To confirm equilibrium conditions, [123 I]5‐I‐A‐85380 plasma levels were measured in four studies, including all studies with 0.2 mg/kg physostigmine. Prior to physostigmine administration, thalamic activities were stable, with changes of 1.1%/h or less, except in one study with a gradual increase of 4.2%/h. Thalamic activities were decreased by 15% in one study with 0.067 mg/kg and 14–17% in all studies with 0.2 mg/kg physostigmine administration (P = 0.009). In these studies with 0.2 mg/kg physostigmine administration, [123 I]5‐I‐A‐85380 plasma levels showed a transient or a sustained increase after physostigmine administration that would have increased thalamic activities. These results suggest that elevated ACh levels induced by physostigmine can effectively compete in vivo with [123 I]5‐I‐A‐85380 binding at nAChRs. However, decreased thalamic activities could have been caused by other mechanisms, including internalization of the receptor with an associated decreased affinity for radioligand.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In nonhuman primates, elevated ACh levels induced by a high dose of intravenous physostigmine can compete effectively in vivo with [123I]5-IA binding at β2*-nAChRs.

    “It has been shown previously in nonhuman primates that elevated ACh levels induced by a high dose of intravenous physostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, can compete effectively in vivo with [123I]5-IA binding at β2*-nAChRs (27).”
  • When β2*-nAChR availability is measured in the absence of bound endogenous ACh, there is no evidence of a change in receptor number.

    “These results, together with the non-human primate study (27), suggest that when β2*-nAChR availability is measured in the absence of bound endogenous ACh, there is no evidence of a change in receptor number.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
