Classification of M/sub 1/ and M/sub 2/ receptor subtypes in vivo by autoradiography using (/sup 125/I) (R,R) 4IQNB: Implications for imaging receptor subtypes
(/sup 125/I) (R,R) 3-Quinuclidinyl 4-Iodobenzilate (4IQNB) is a high affinity radiotracer for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor which exhibits differential kinetics of dissociation from the receptor subtypes, M/sub 1/ and M/sub 2/. The authors have determined the relative percentages of M/sub 1/ to M/sub 2/-receptor subtype in six structures of rat brain by equilibrium competition using the selective antagonist, QNX, and by analysis of the off-rate profiles for 4IQNB. The results are comparable and provide: (% M/sub 1/) caudate nucleus - 100%, hippocampus - 92%, cortex - 82%, thalamus - 6%, superior + inferior colliculi - 41%, and pons - 23%. To determine the relative proportions of M/sub 1/ to M/sub 2/ receptors in vivo we examined the distribution of 4IQNB at 2 h and 24 h by autoradiography. At 2 h, both M/sub 1/ and M/sub 2/ receptors will be labeled but at 24 h only the M/sub 1/ receptor will retain radiotracer. At 2 h, all structures of the brain are variably labeled with the cortex, hippocampus, caudate nucleus, olfactory nuclei, nucleus accumbens, pontine nuclei, and anteroventral thalamic nucleus (AV) most heavily labeled. At 24 h, both the pontine and AV, as well as the less heavily labeled hypothalamus, superior colliculus and mesencephalic nuclei, are devoid of radiotracer thus indicating predominantly M/sub 2/ receptor. Quantitation is necessary to determine possible washout of activity from the M/sub 2/ receptors in cortex. Similar time studies in man should provide distinctions between the M/sub 1/ and M/sub 2/ receptor rich structures and the preferential loss of a subtype of receptor due to disease.
