Translocator Protein 18 kDa PET Radioligands With High Affinities Regardless of Genotype Description of Technology: This technology relates to a group of Translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) radioligands for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) that are specific and accurate, regardless of genotype. TSPO is a mitochondrial protein expressed in inflammatory cells, which is a marker for neuroinflammation. Neuroinflammation is symptomatic of many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, epilepsy, dementia, and traumatic brain injuries. Monitoring and quantifying TSPO 18 kDa with radioligands in PET may have clinical application in understanding, diagnosing and treating many neuropsychiatric disorders. However, current TSPO 18 kDa radioligands either lack specificity or, due to TSPO polymorphisms, have highly variable inter-subject sensitivities depending on genotype. These new ligands are specific and accurate, regardless of genotype, allowing simplified interpretation and quantification of the binding signal. Potential Commercial Applications: Biomarker or diagnostic for neuroinflammation Competitive Advantages: Specific and accurate, regardless of genotype Development Stage: • Early-stage • Pre-clinical • In vivo data available (animal) Inventors: Robert B.
