On the viability of tadalafil-based 18F-radiotracers for in vivo phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) PET imaging

Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a clinically relevant biomarker and therapeutic target for many human pathologies, yet a noninvasive agent for the assessment of PDE5 expression has yet to be realized. Such agents would improve our understanding of the nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosp...

Zusammenfassung:Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a clinically relevant biomarker and therapeutic target for many human pathologies, yet a noninvasive agent for the assessment of PDE5 expression has yet to be realized. Such agents would improve our understanding of the nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cGMP)/PDE5 pathway in human pathologies and potentially lead to novel uses of PDE5 inhibitors to manage lung conditions like SARS-CoV-2-mediated pulmonary inflammatory responses. In this study, efforts were made to produce an 18F-labeled analogue of the PDE5 inhibitor tadalafil to visualize PDE5 expression in vivo with positron emission tomography (PET). However, during the late-stage fluorination step, quantitative epimerization of the tadalafil C12a stereocenter occurred, yielding a less active epi-isomer. In vivo dynamic microPET images in mice revealed that the epimerized radiotracer, [18F]epi-18, rapidly accumulated in the liver with negligible uptake in tissues of known PDE5 expression.
