Blood–brain barrier permeability of ginkgolide: Comparison of the behavior of PET probes 7α-[18F]fluoro- and 10-O-p-[11C]methylbenzyl ginkgolide B in monkey and rat brains

Add time:08/04/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

The blood–brain barrier permeability of ginkgolide B was examined using positron emission tomography (PET) probes of a 18F-incorporated ginkgolide B ([18F]-2) and a 11C-incorporated methylbenzyl-substituted ginkgolide B ([11C]-3). PET studies in monkeys showed low uptake of [18F]-2 into the brain, but small amounts of [11C]-3 were accumulated in the parenchyma. Furthermore, when cyclosporine A was preadministered to rats, the accumulation of [18F]-2 in the rat brain did not significantly change, however, the accumulation of [11C]-3 was five times higher than that in the control rat. These results provide effective approaches for investigating the drug potential of ginkgolides.
