Toxicity and radiation dosimetry studies of the serotonin transporter radioligand [18 F]AFM in rats and monkeys

Abstract: Background[18 F]AFM is a potent and promising PET imaging agent for the serotonin transporter. We carried out an acute toxicity study in rats and radiation dosimetry in monkeys before the translation of the tracer to humans.MethodsSingle- and multiple-dose toxicity studies were conducted in Sprague–Dawley rats. Male and female rats were injected intravenously with AFM tartrate as a single dose of 98.7 or 987 μg/kg (592 or 5,920 μg/m2, 100× or 1,000× the proposed human dose of 8 μg, respectively) on day 1 or as… Show more

“…Serotonin transporter (SERT) regulates serotonin levels by reuptaking serotonin from the synaptic cleft [4]. Abnormal operation of the serotonin receptor and/or SERT has been linked to various mental disorders [4] [5]. Thus, SERT is the primary target of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a group of drugs widely prescribed for the treatment of neurologic and psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, suicide, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and drug addiction [6] [7] [8].…”
