An in-vitro study using [11C]GF120918 was carried out in Caco-2 and Madin–Darby canine kidney cells in the presence or absence of a transporter inhibitor (cyclosporine A and unlabeled GF120918). The biodistribution of radioactivity after the injection of [11C]GF120918 was determined in Caco-2-bearing mice using a small animal PET scanner. \nResults: In Caco-2 cells expressing Pgp and BCRP, coincubation with unlabeled GF120918 caused an approximately two-fold increase in [11C]GF120918 uptake compared with that of the control ([11C]GF120918 only). In Caco-2-bearing mice, PET results indicated that [11C]GF120918 uptake in the tumor was low, but was significantly increased by treatment with unlabeled GF120918. In metabolite analysis, the radioactive component in the tumor almost corresponded to intact [11C]GF120918. \nConclusion: A PET study combining the administration of [11C]GF120918 with unlabeled GF120918 may be a useful tool for evaluating the functions of Pgp and BCRP in tumors.}, pages = {985--993}, title = {PET study on mice bearing human colon adenocarcinoma cells using [11C]GF120918, a dual radioligand for P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein}, volume = {31}, year = {2010} }
