Sagittal slices of rat brain tissue were exposed to [18F]Bavarostat in the presence of 10 µM Bavarostat or Tubastatin A Results: the binding of [18F]Bavarostat was reduced by almost 40% in the cerebellum, relative to corpus callosum, a region of high nonspecific binding. Tubastatin A, an HDAC6-selective compound, reduced the amount of bound radioactivity to a comparable level as Bavarostat. These data indicate that the binding to brain tissue occurs with selectivity for HDAC6. | |

Selectivity
- ‘in vivo SB’ (tracer 후보의) (by pretreatment with unlabeled Bavarostat)
- Target occupancy (약후보의)
SB 얻는 방법 두가지 (2017 Zhang):
i) Competitin
ii) Target KO: mimicking complete TO. i)보다 덜좋은 방법이라는 듯, target receptor 가 아니라 protein 전체가 없기 때문인가?
Zhang 2017: a ligand candidate in a non-radiolabeled “cold” form at a low tracer dose (typically <10 µg/kg) was injected into test animals.
LC-MS cold method 의 좋은 review: (Barth 2014): i) radiometabolite 관련 ii) anatomic delineation 어려움 iii) false negative iv) (Paul) For LC/MS studies due to detection limits you are somewhere around 0.5-1 mg/kg, which is a significantly higher dose than those for PET study dose.. However for those targets with low expression, you can essentially block all the target and so the majority of the material present is non-specific and so you will be unable to differentiate the specific binding.

- IDT vs HDAC6-KO
Validation in KO mouse / Competition with T-412 (panels)
- LC-MS-based target occupancy study indicates that T-4035187 and T-4055455 are useful for target engagement study of HDAC6 inhibitor
- Validation study in NHP with radiolabeled molecules is underway
Which was better to evaluate specific binding: Kp.hippocampus or Hippocampus concentration
(Slide overlay panels showing four occupancy/concentration scatter plots with red callout boxes)
- This can represent NULL occupancy of 412. 위에 그림으로 부터 추측 가능 (4그림 중에 첫번째). 즉 412에 의해 막히지 않은 condition.
- This can represent full occupancy of 412. 4그림 중 마지막 (즉 KO이라거나, R 465가 매우 적은데다가 가까이 412에 의해 fully 막혀있게 되는 거랑 같다는 의미). 그런거지 같음 받은 의미라는…
- 412의 dose @ 변화시킨 거와 4번 째에 실린 occupancy 를 잘다라가 양상으로 같지를 결정.
- Concentrations in plasma matched those in hippocampus, caused Kp.hippocampus.
- Kp.hippocampus values correlate with specific binding among study batches: (WT/Vehicle, HDAC6-KO):
13.3 ± 5 [CV 64%, n=12], 3.61 ± 0.88 [CV 28%, n=4] - Hippocampus concentrations corresponding to null occupancy were stable among study batches: (Mean ± SD): 6.13 ± 0.24 [CV 4%, n=12], 1.85 ± 0.24 [CV 13%, n=4]
→ Hippocampus concentration could be better to estimate target occupancy.
Non-imaging methods to triage selected compounds and assess specific target binding
- LC-MS quantification of “cold-tracer” tissue distribution
- A novel, efficient paradigm for identifying PET tracers
Step 1: IV administration of non-radiolabeled compound
Step 2: Tissue dissection and sample preparation at desired time-points
Step 3: LC-MS quantification of compound concentration
Step 4: Tissue distribution and time course analysis
LC-MS allows for the quantification of a compound’s regional distribution without needing to prepare a PET tracer precursor or develop radiolabeling methods. It can be used to assess specific binding, time-course activity as well as metabolite profile and translates well into NHP

Flow/criteria of PET tracer development (cold study)
Blue: Criteria
Step 1
- IC50: <10 nM (Bmax/Kd (>10))
- MDR1 ratio: <3
- LOGD: 1-3
- fu. brain: >1% free (>5% preferable)
- Mouse IV: rapid elimination
- Labeling position: 11C, 18F
Target expression / distribution analysis (rodent, monkey, human / WB, mRNA)
Step 2 — Specific uptake
- IV screening for specific binding in rodents (LC/MS/MS)
- Differential-distribution (target/reference region)
- reference region O. PDE10A
- Dose-dependently change of Kp 2. reference region X. CHQ4H
- Differential-distribution (target/reference region)
- Metabolite identification in vitro: No/little undesirable metabolites
- Monkey IV (cassette): rapid elimination
Step 3
- ↑ Cold — Competitiveness: Pretreatment study by drug candidate (LC/MS/MS) → Competitive
- Selectivity: LC/MS/MS study in KO mouse → Negligible off-target binding
- ↓ Hot (Collaboration): Radiolabeling, PET imaging in NHP or Rodent
- Bavarostat: (Strebl, 2017 #475) fig3
