Exploratory Study of Sex Differences in P-Glycoprotein Function at the Blood-Brain Barrier. (PubMed, Clin Transl Sci) - "For future [18F]MC225 PET studies, a mixed-sex population can serve as an appropriate age-matched control group for neurodegenerative studies. Further research is needed to explore sex-related differences in younger populations, particularly with respect to hormonal cycles."

Oral Administration of [18F]MC225 for Quantification of P-glycoprotein Function: A Feasibility Study. (PubMed, Mol Imaging Biol) - "Oral administration of [18F]MC225 faces challenges and, at this stage, cannot be used to quantify P-gp function. Further research to assess tracer stability and metabolism in the stomach and intestine will be essential for advancing the feasibility of oral tracer administration."

Blood-brain barrier P-glycoprotein function in Alzheimer's disease measured with [18F]MC225 and PET (EANM 2024) - "This proof of concept study showed significant differences in P-gp function at the BBB between AD patients and HV. These findings support the further use [18F]MC225 PET in larger AD cohorts. It addition, it will be a potential in vivo tool to monitor response to disease modifying drugs."

Impact of Delay Calculation Methods in LAFOV PET Kinetic Analysis (EANM 2024) - "For a [15O]H2O bolus injection, the LE method shows very good agreement with the traditional JE method, for both delay and kinetic parameters. For the slow [18F]MC225 injection, delay and kinetic parameters obtained using the LE method showed a poorer agreement with the JE method, indicating that the LE method may not be the optimal approach in case of non-bolus injections."

Quantitative Accuracy of Reconstruction Methods in Preclinical PET and Effects on Kinetic Modelling (EANM 2024) - "Furthermore, dynamic scans of two Wistar rats injected with 34MBq of [18F]MC225, with blood sampling, were acquired with the same scanner and reconstructed using the aforementioned protocols [3]... In preclinical static and dynamic scanning, OSEM2D and HR-OSEM2D performed similarly and outperformed the other reconstruction methods. However, the reconstruction does not affect the TACs and only inconsistently affects kinetic parameters. Additionally, the 1TCM fits best on HR-OSEM2D reconstructed images."

Pre-Clinical Assessment of Cardiac P-glycoprotein Function In Vivo with [18F]MC225 PET Imaging (EANM 2024) - "In this study, a novel PET radiotracer [18F]MC225 was applied for the first time to evaluate P-gp function in rat hearts. The findings suggest that [18F]MC225-PET imaging is promising for assessing the functionality of P-gp. In the future, [18F]MC225-PET may possess the capability to predict the cardiac bioavailability of pharmaceutical agents as well as provide precise, individualized insights for therapeutic optimization, but also the effect of cardiotoxic agents."

Kinetic analysis of [18F]MC225 data without arterial sampling (EANM 2024) - "This study shows that an accurate BAC can be obtained using a LAFOV PET and that, for [18F]MC225, arterial samples can be replaced by venous samples, making a [18F]MC225 study more patient-friendly and cost-effective. It should be noted that the use of venous samples should be validated for each tracer separately."
