    FIGURE 1.

    Time–activity curves for source organs after 11C-NOP-1A injection at baseline and after receptor blockade with SB-612111. Symbols represent mean from 3 monkeys and are same for each of 3 pairs of panels (baseline and blocked). Data are decay-corrected to time of injection.

    FIGURE 2.

    Representative time–activity curves of 11C-NOP-1A in plasma and brain at baseline and after receptor blockade with SB-612111 in single monkey. (A) 11C-NOP-1A concentration, separated from radiometabolites, in arterial plasma is plotted at baseline (▴) and after receptor blockade (▵). Values from 0 to 6 min and from 20 to 100 min are plotted on separate graphs, which differ in range of y-axis. (B) Concentrations of radioactivity in occipital cortex after injection of 11C-NOP-1A are shown at baseline (•) and after receptor blockade (○). Measured brain data were fit with 1-tissue (solid line) and 2-tissue (dotted line)-compartment models. At baseline conditions, 2 fittings overlap almost completely.

    FIGURE 3.

    Transaxial PET images of brain uptake at baseline and after receptor blockade in same monkey. PET images from 40 to 80 min after injection of 11C-NOP-1A were summed, and pixel values represent mean concentration of radioactivity (standardized uptake value). Monkey was injected with 222 MBq of 11C-NOP-1A at baseline and 222 MBq after receptor blockade. Radioactivity concentration was expressed as standardized uptake value (SUV), which normalizes for injected activity and body mass. Coregistered MR image shows that PET slice extends through caudate, putamen, and cerebellum.
