Abstract
BACKGROUND: The molecular actions underlying the clinical effects of inhaled anaesthetics such as sevoflurane and isoflurane are not fully understood. Unexpected observations in positron emission tomography (PET) studies with [11C]AZD9272, a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) radioligand with possible affinity for monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B), suggest that its binding is sensitive to anaesthesia with sevoflurane. The objective of the present study was to assess the effects of sevoflurane anaesthesia on the binding of [11C]AZD9272 and of [11C]L-deprenyl-D2, a radioligand selective for MAO-B in non-human primates (NHPs).Entities:

Fig 1Two-tissue compartment model used to interpret regional brain radioactivity after intravenous radioligand injection. K1, k2, k3, and k4 are first order rate constants. For irreversibly bound radioligands, dissociation from the target protein is assumed to be negligible.
Regional estimates of total volume of distribution (VT, ml cm−3) for [11C]AZD9272 and λk3 (ml cm−3 min−1) for [11C]L-deprenyl-D2 in non-human primates anaesthetised with ketamine/xylazine or sevoflurane. Values are presented as mean (range; n=3).

Average images from 27 to 93 min after radioligand injection. Image intensity is presented as standardised uptake value (SUV). NHP, non-human primate; PET, positron emission tomography.
Fig 3Graphical analysis of the difference in regional specific binding for the radioligand [11C]AZD9272 in non-human primates anaesthetised with ketamine/xylazine or sevoflurane. The relative difference in specific binding was calculated as described from the slope of the line. VT, ketamine and VT, sevoflurane represent the total distribution volume for ketamine/xylazine or sevoflurane anaesthesia, respectively. NHP, non-human primate.
