Abstract
The MCHR1 is involved in the regulation of energy homeostasis and changes of the expression are linked to a variety of associated diseases, such as diabetes and adiposity. The study aimed at the in vitro and in vivo evaluation of [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP as potential PET-tracers for the MCHR1. Competitive binding studies with non-radioactive derivatives and small-animal PET/CT and MRI brain studies were performed under baseline conditions and tracer displacement with the unlabelled MCHR1 antagonist (±)-SNAP-7941. Binding studies evinced high binding affinity of the non-radioactive derivatives. Small-animal imaging of [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP evinced high tracer uptake in MCHR1-rich regions of the ventricular system. Quantitative analysis depicted a significant tracer reduction after displacement with (±)-SNAP-7941. Due to the high binding affinity of the non-labelled derivatives and the high specific tracer uptake of [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP, there is strong evidence that both radiotracers may serve as highly suitable agents for specific MCHR1 imaging.

Introduction
The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic polypeptide consisting of 19 amino acids, produced predominantly by neurons in the lateral hypothalamus, incerto-hypothalamic area and zona incerta with extensive projections throughout the brain1. Besides, MCH is also found in peripheral organs and tissues, such as the pancreas2, colonic epithelial cells3 or adipocytes4, 5. The biological effects of MCH are mediated by two G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), termed MCH receptor 1 (MCHR1)6,7,8,9 and MCH receptor 2 (MCHR2)10,11,12,13. While the MCHR1 has been isolated from rodents and humans6, 8, the MCHR2 has thus far been identified in primates, dogs, ferrets and humans10, 11. Several lines of research evinced that MCH acts as an important mediator in the integrated regulation of energy homeostasis and body weight and is linked with diseases such as diabetes, insulin resistance, colitis and obesity14,15,16,17,18,19,20. The distribution of MCH and the expression of the MCHR1 in the brain outside of regions connected with nutritional behaviour, has led to the finding that MCH signalling is also involved in a variety of psychiatric disorders, such as depression and anxiety21. Previous studies have shown, that MCH acts as an important mediator of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis and positively controls cilia beat frequency of ependymal cells, whereas a lack of MCHR1 provokes an increase in ventricular size22, 23. Given the fact that ependymal cells and MCH neurons are both involved in glucose sensing24,25,26, MCH fibres could control the activity of ciliated cells to initiate an increase in CSF flow to meet metabolic needs. This strongly supports the idea that the MCH-system may also be involved in non-neuronal intercellular communication, but evidence is still lacking. However, to enable a quantitative in vivo assessment of the MCHR1 pharmacology and to facilitate preclinical to clinical translation, a suitable positron emission tomography (PET) tracer needs to be developed. Based on the specific MCHR1 antagonist (+)-methyl(4 S)-3-{[(3-{4-[3-(acetylamino)phenyl]-1piperidinyl}propyl)amino] carbonyl}-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-6-(methoxymethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-5-pyrimidenecarboxylate hydrochloride ((+)-SNAP-7941; Fig. 1a)27, the successful preparation of the first potential PET radiotracers [11C]SNAP-7941 (Fig. 1b) and the [18F]fluoroethylated analogue [18F]FE@SNAP (Fig. 1c) was performed28, 29. Since both tracers yield adequate amounts of radioactivity with suitable molar activity, initial preclinical evaluation has been accomplished30, 31.
Based on the preceding results, the current study focused on the quantitative in vitro and in vivo assessment of main biological and physicochemical properties of [18F]FE@SNAP and [11C]SNAP-7941 and the corresponding non-radioactive derivatives to enable confidence about the MCHR1 pharmacology. In detail, the aims of the study were (i) competitive binding studies with the non-radioactive derivatives, (ii) small-animal PET/CT and MRI studies of healthy rats with MCHR1 displacement and (iii) small-animal PET/CT and MRI studies of healthy rats under baseline conditions.
Results
Competitive binding studies
Displacement of specific [125I]MCH binding on CHO-K1 membranes, expressing the hMCHR1, in presence of the different MCHR1 ligands evinced high binding affinity for (±)-SNAP-7941 and (+)-SNAP-7941, both in a low nanomolar range, whereas the binding affinity of FE@SNAP was determined to be significantly lower (Fig. 2 and Table 1). Differences of the Ki values between (±)-SNAP-7941and (+)-SNAP-7941 were found to be statistically not significant (P > 0.05). MCH revealed high binding affinity with a Ki in a low nanomolar range and was found to be in good agreement with previously reported values. Hill slope factors of (±)-SNAP-7941, FE@SNAP and MCH indicated no binding cooperativity and were determined to be statistically not significantly different (P > 0.05). On the contrary the Hill slope factor of (+)-SNAP-7941 was found to be significantly higher and revealed a strong positive cooperativity. A detailed summary of corresponding IC50, Ki and Hill slope factors of the dedicated MCHR1 ligands is shown in Table 1.
Small-animal imaging
Small-animal PET/MRI brain scans in healthy rats evinced high radiotracer uptake in the entire ventricular system for [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP respectively, whereas the uptake in other brain regions was found to be comparable low. Representative triplanar PET/MRI rat brain scans are shown in Fig. 3 ([11C]SNAP-7941) and Fig. 4 ([18F]FE@SNAP). Differences between the mean SUV in the ventricular system before and after displacement with 15 mg/kg (±)-SNAP-7941 were found to be statistically significant for both [11C]SNAP-7941 (Figs 3a and 5b) and [18F]FE@SNAP (Figs 4a and 5d). As opposed to this no effect was determined after displacement of the basal radiotracer uptake with the vehicle for [11C]SNAP-7941 (Figs 3b and 5a) and [18F]FE@SNAP (Figs 4b and 5c). A detailed summary of all mean SUV values, of both radiolabelled compounds before and after displacement with (±)-SNAP-7941, the corresponding vehicle and corresponding P values are shown in Table 2. Whole brain uptake of [11C]SNAP-7941 was found to be significantly reduced after displacement with (±)-SNAP-7941 (Fig. 6b), whereas in the group where the vehicle was used as displacement agent differences were proved to be statistically not significant (Fig. 6a). In contrast to that, differences of the whole brain uptake of [18F]FE@SNAP before and after displacement were found to be statistically not significant for both displacement with (±)-SNAP-7941 (Fig. 6d) and the vehicle (Fig. 6c). Since the brains of all groups were counted in the Gamma Counter too, the findings of the micro PET scans could be confirmed. Ex-vivo brain uptake of [11C]SNAP-7941 measured in the Gamma Counter revealed a normalized value (mean ± SEM, expressed as %ID/g) of 0.023 ± 0.002 for the vehicle group and 0.015 ± 0.002 for the group where displacement was introduced via (±)-SNAP-7941. Differences of group means were proven to be statistically significant (P = 0.0156). Ex-vivo brain uptake of [18F]FE@SNAP revealed a normalized value (mean ± SEM, expressed as %ID/g) of 0.020 ± 0.001 for the vehicle group and 0.018 ± 0.003 for the group where displacement was introduced via (±)-SNAP-7941. No significant effect between both groups was observed (P = 0.4547). TACs of the whole brain and the ventricular system of [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP before and after displacement with either the vehicle compound or with (±)-SNAP-7941 are shown in Fig. 7. [11C]SNAP-7941 displayed fast tracer equilibrium and a stable signal over the whole time course of the experiment for the group where the vehicle was used for displacement (Fig. 7a and c, blue line with triangles), whereas a clear drop in the TACs for both, whole brain and the ventricular system, was observed after displacement with 15 mg/kg (±)-SNAP-7941 (Fig. 7a and c, red line with circles). TACs of [18F]FE@SNAP evinced fast tracer equilibrium and a stable signal over the whole course of investigation for the whole brain and the ventricular system in the group where displacement was introduced via the vehicle (Fig. 7b and d, blue line with triangles). A clear drop of the TAC of [18F]FE@SNAP was shown immediately after displacement with 15 mg/kg (±)-SNAP-7941 (Fig. 7d, red line with circles), whereas no differences in the TAC of the whole brain was observed after treating the animals with the respective antagonist (Fig. 7c, red line with circles).
Discussion
The in vivo quantification of MCHR1 pharmacology is a crucial step for the better understanding of the pathogenesis of a variety of endocrine disorders like obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance. Therefore a specific PET radiotracer for MCHR1 imaging is of high scientific interest, since it comprises several advantages for clinical medicine and biomedical research, such as monitoring of the hormone receptor status and related pathologies in-vivo, compound dose selection and the in vivo quantification of the MCHR1 as a risk factor and early diagnostic tool for adiposity, diabetes and insulin resistance. To foster the in-vivo imaging of the MCHR1, PET radiotracer development was initiated28,29,30,31,32,33. Based on the preceding results, the current study focused on the quantitative in vitro and in vivo assessment of main biological and physicochemical properties of [18F]FE@SNAP and [11C]SNAP-7941 and corresponding non-radioactive derivatives to enable confidence about the MCHR1 pharmacology. Due to the low density of the MCHR1 in the human brain (BMax = 5.8 ± 0.3 fmol/mg)34, a high binding affinity is mandatory. In the present paper we demonstrated high binding affinity in a low nanomolar range for our non-labeled reference compounds FE@SNAP, (±)-SNAP-7941 and (+)-SNAP-7941 in competition experiments using CHO-K1 cell membranes expressing the hMCHR1. Although no significant difference of the Ki of (±)-SNAP-7941 and (+)-SNAP-7941 was found, the Hill slope factor of (+)-SNAP-7941 was significantly higher, indicating a strong positive cooperativity. Potential advantages and physiological cross-influences due to high positive binding cooperativity for the in vivo assessment of the MCHR1 pharmacology still remain unclear and need to be evaluated in future imaging studies. However, FE@SNAP and (±)-SNAP-7941 evinced no binding cooperativity and compared to the natural hormone MCH, differences were proved to be statistically not significant. It has been described that the MCHR1 is expressed in central brain regions, like the lateral hypothalamus, inceto-hypothalamic area and the zona incerta1, but recent studies revealed also a high level of MCHR1 expression in the ependymal cells of the ventricular system22. Since there is still a lack of potential imaging biomarkers targeting the MCHR1, the study focused on the potential of [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP to specifically label MCHR1-rich regions in healthy rats under baseline and displacement conditions. Intravenous injection of [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP evinced high tracer uptake in the ventricular system (see Figs 3 and 4), which supports the expression of the MCHR1 in the ventricular system as reported in previous studies22, 23. Further quantitative analysis depicted a clear and statistically significant reduction of the tracer uptake for both [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP after displacement with (±)-SNAP-7941, whereas displacement with the vehicle revealed no effect (Fig. 5), indicating high specific radiotracer uptake on MCHR1-rich regions on the ependymal cells of the ventricular system. Compared to the uptake in the ventricular system, whole brain uptake was rather low for both [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP. Detailed quantitative analysis of the whole brain uptake of [18F]FE@SNAP before and after displacement with (±)-SNAP-7941 revealed no significant difference. Interestingly, we found a significant difference in the whole brain uptake before and after displacement with (±)-SNAP-7941 for [11C]SNAP-7941 (Fig. 6). The result may be biased due to the higher specific uptake in the ventricular system of [11C]SNAP-7941 and the fast metabolism of [18F]FE@SNAP30. Knowing from initial preclinical experiments with [11C]SNAP-794131, the low uptake in MCHR1 rich regions in the brain may be caused by limited blood-brain-barrier penetration due to binding to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP).
Since the MCHR1 is highly expressed in the ependymal cells of the epithelium of the ventricular system, a tracer for the MCHR1 should show specific uptake and be significantly reduced by an unlabeled ligand in these areas. The specificity of [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP was successfully proven in small animal PET studies by displacement with the unlabeled MCHR1 antagonist (±)-SNAP-7941, which confirmed that both radiotracers are highly specific agents for MCHR1 imaging. Further, these results were affirmed by ex vivo brain autoradiography in a previous study32. Since the MCHR1 is primarily involved in the integrated regulation of energy homeostasis, [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP may serve as a useful tool for imaging and therapy monitoring of a broad range of connected disease such as diabetes, adiposity and insulin resistance. Given the fact that ependymal cells and MCH neurons are both involved in glucose sensing24,25,26 MCH fibres could control the activity of ciliated cells to initiate an increase in CSF flow to meet metabolic needs. Therefore both [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP may serve a high potential candidates to investigate the involvement of the MCH-system in non-neuronal intercellular communication. Future small animal experiments will focus on the global pharmacodynamics and –kinetics of both radiotracers addressing the peripheral involvement of MCHR1. These insights should facilitate the monitoring and treatment of MCHR1 related pathologies.
Methods
Radioligands and chemical compounds
The radioionated no carrier added (n.c.a.) MCHR1 agonist [125I]-Tyr13-melanin-concentrating hormone ([125I]MCH) was purchased from PerkinElmer® (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). The radioligand [125I]MCH was described to reveal high affinity towards the MCHR113, 35 and used to serve as a radiolabelled reference compound for the competitive binding experiments.
The non-radioactive reference compound MCH was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich® (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The MCHR1 antagonists including the racemic mixture of SNAP-7941 ((±)-SNAP-7941), the enantiomeric form (+)-SNAP-7941 and the fluoroethylated analogue (+)-(2-Fluoroethyl)(4 S)-3-{[(3-{4-[3-(acetylamino)phenyl]-1-piperidinyl}propyl)amin]carbonyl}-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-6-(methoxymethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-5-pyrimidenecarboxylate (FE@SNAP), as well as the precursor compounds (4S)-3-{[(3-{4-[3-(acetylamino)phenyl]-1piperidinyl}propyl)amino]carbonyl}-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-6-(methoxymethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-5-pyrimidenecarboxylate acid (SNAP-acid) and 2-(Tosyloxy)ethyl-3-{[(3-{4-[3-(acetylamino)phenyl]-1piperidinyl}propyl)amino]carbonyl}-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-6-(methoxymethyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-5-pyrimidenecarboxylate acid (Tos@SNAP) were synthesized in collaboration with the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and the Department Organic Chemistry of the University of Vienna (Vienna, Austria) as previously reported36, 37. All other chemicals were of analytical grade and purchased from commercial sources.
Tracer preparation
Radiosynthesis of [11C]SNAP-7941, the radiolabeled analogue of (±)-SNAP-7941, was performed in a fully automated synthesizer (TRACERlab™ FX C Pro, GE Healthcare, Germany) as previously reported28. Radiosynthesis of [18F]FE@SNAP was performed in a microfluidic device (Advion NanoTek®, Ithaca, NY, USA) as described elsewhere29, 30, followed by a purification in a conventional synthesizer unit (Nuclear Interface®, GE Medical Systems, Uppsala, Sweden). Both radiotracers are formulated in physiological saline solution for intravenous injection. Radiochemical purity and molar activity of [11C]SNAP-7941 and [18F]FE@SNAP were determined by analytical radio-HPLC (Agilent, Boeblingen, Germany).
Competitive binding studies
Competitive binding studies were conducted on CHO-K1 cell membranes expressing the hMCHR1 (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, USA). Briefly, cell membranes (10 µg/mL) were dissolved in 500 µL 50 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4) (containing 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EDTA, 0.1% bacitracin and 0.2% BSA). The equilibrium inhibition constant (Ki) was evaluated using several concentrations (0.1–10 000 nM) of MCH, (±)-SNAP-7941, (+)-SNAP-7941 and FE@SNAP in the presence of 0.1 nM [125I]MCH. All non-labelled compounds were initially dissolved in DMSO and diluted with deionized water to the final concentration, where the amount of DMSO never exceeded 5%. The membranes were incubated in vials at room temperature for 120 min. Subsequently, bound and free fractions of radioligand were separated by centrifugation at 40 000 × g for 20 min. The supernatants were removed into new vials and pellets were washed twice with 800 µL ice cold Tris buffer. The pellets were finally dissolved in 1300 µL Tris buffer and the radioactivity of both, the supernatant and the pellet, was measured in a Gamma Counter (2480 WIZARD2, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). The half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) was determined using GraphPad Prism 6.0 (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and converted into the Ki using the Cheng Prusoff equation38.
Animals
Twelve-weeks old male Sprague-Dawley rats (HIM:OFA, Himberg, Austria) weighing 389 ± 86 g were kept under controlled environmental conditions (22 ± 1 °C; 40–70% humidity; 12 hours light/dark cycle) with free access to water and standard laboratory animal diet (sniff R/M-H, sniff Spezialdiaeten GmbH, Soest, Germany). Prior to each experiment, the animals were placed into an induction chamber and anesthetized with 2.5% isoflurane. When unconscious, the animals were taken from the chamber and kept under anesthesia with 1.5–2.5% isoflurane provided via a mask during the whole experiment. Physiological parameters and the depth of anesthesia were monitored continuously. Administration of radioligands and MCHR1 antagonists were performed intravenously via the lateral tail vein. All procedures and protocols using animals have been approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, as well as by the Austrian Ministry of Science, Research and Economy (BMWFW-66.009/0029-WF/V/3b/2015). Every effort was made to minimize both, the suffering and the number of animals. All experimental procedures and protocols used in this study were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.
Small-animal imaging
Anaesthetized rats were immobilized in a multimodal animal carrier unit (MACU; medres® – medical research GmbH, Cologne, Germany) and maintained at a body temperature of 37 °C throughout the whole experiment. Animals received either [11C]SNAP-7941 or [18F]FE@SNAP, followed by an injection of (±)-SNAP-7941 (15 mg/kg body weight, freshly dissolved in 400 µL; displacement condition; n = 3) or 400 µL of the respective solvent (vehicle condition; n = 3). The MCHR1 antagonists and the vehicle were administered either 15 min ([11C]SNAP-7941) or 20 min ([18F]FE@SNAP) after radiotracer injection as a bolus via the lateral tail vein. A stereotactic holder attached to the MACU was used to fix the head of the animals in a reliable and reproducible position within the whole imaging study. Experiments were initiated with a 7 minute cone beam attenuation CT (CBCT) of the brain (360 projections; binning 4 × 4; 80 kV; 500 µA; 200 ms exposure time) using a small-animal CT scanner (Siemens Inveon microSPECT/CT, Siemens Medical Solutions, Knoxville, USA). Subsequently the animals were positioned in the imaging chamber of a Siemens Inveon microPET scanner (Siemens Medical Solution, Knoxville, USA). [11C]SNAP-7941 (75.85 ± 5.80 MBq; molar activity: 33.12 ± 25.73 GBq/µmol; radiochemical purity: >99%) or [18F]FE@SNAP (44.12 ± 4.41 MBq; molar activity: 22.18 ± 9.72 GBq/µmol; radiochemical purity: >90%) was injected (200–800 µL) via the lateral tail vein and dynamic PET imaging was performed 45 min for the [11C]-labeled radiotracer and 60 min for the [18F]-labeled ligand. Immediately afterwards, T1-weighted high-resolution axial, coronary and sagittal brain MRI scans (2D FLASH; echo time: 3.85 ms; repetition time: 282 ms; flip angle: 30°; field of view: 35 × 35 mm; resolution: 68 × 68 µm; slice thickness: 0.4 mm) were performed using a Bruker BioSpec 94/30 USR small-animal MR system (Bruker BioSpin GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany). At the end of the imaging study animals were sacrificed under anesthesia through an intravenous injection of pentobarbital sodium (Release® 300 mg/mL, WDT, Garbsen, Germany), brains were removed, weighed and subjected to radioactivity measurements in a Gamma Counter (2480 WIZARD2, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Values were normalized to weight and dose and expressed as the percentage injected dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g).
Image reconstruction and data post processing
CT raw data was reconstructed with a Feldkamp algorithm using a Shepp-Logan filter followed by standard rat beam-hardening correction and noise reduction (matrix size: 1024 × 1024; effective pixel size: 97.56 µm). PET list mode data was sorted into three-dimensional sinograms according to the following frame sequences, for [11C]SNAP-7941: 1 × 3 s, 3 × 2 s, 1 × 6 s, 1 × 15 s, 1 × 35 s, 1 × 145 s, 1 × 270 s, 1 × 285 s, 1 × 165 s, 3 × 30 s, 1 × 120 s, 1 × 240 s, 1 × 420 s, 1 × 900 s and for [18F] FE@SNAP: 1 × 3 s, 3 × 2 s, 1 × 6 s, 1 × 15 s, 1 × 35 s, 1 × 145 s, 2 × 270 s, 1 × 285 s, 1 × 165 s, 3 × 30 s, 1 × 120 s, 1 × 240 s, 2 × 487 s, 1 × 976 s. PET images were reconstructed using an OSEM 3D/OP-MAP scatter corrected reconstruction algorithm and a ramp filter (matrix size 128 × 128). The data was normalized and corrected for random, dead time and radioactive decay. A calibration factor was applied to the data for converting units of the microPET images into absolute radioactivity concentration units.
Multimodal (microPET/CT/MRI) rigid-body image registration and biomedical image quantification was performed using the image analysis software PMOD 3.8 (PMOD Technologies Ltd, Zurich, Switzerland) and Inveon Research Workplace (IRW; Siemens Medical Solutions, Knoxville, USA). Volumes of interest (VOIs), comprising the whole brain and the ventricular system of the rats, were outlined on multiple planes of the CT and MRI images and transferred to the PET images of the individual time frames. Time–activity curves (TACs) were calculated, normalized to dose and weight and expressed as standardized uptake values (SUV; g/mL) to facilitate comparison.
Statistical analysis
Unless mentioned otherwise all experimental data are expressed as mean ± SEM from at least three independent experiments with different batches of radioligand. Statistical testing was performed using GraphPad Prism 6 (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA). Descriptive statistical measures were used to confirm the goodness of the nonlinear regression models. Differences among groups and conditions were proved using either a two tailed, unpaired Student’s t-test with Welch’s correction or a two-tailed parametric paired t-test. Multiple comparisons testing were performed using either ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction or ordinary two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s correction. Values of P < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.
