DihydrotetrabenazineorDTBZ is an organic compound with the chemical formulaC₁₉H₂₉NO₃. It is a close analog of tetrabenazine. DTBZ and its derivatives, when labeled with positron emitting isotopes such as carbon-11 and fluorine-18, are used as PET radioligands for examining VMAT2.^[1]

Use in Positron Emission Tomography[edit]

[¹¹C]DTBZ as a PET radioligand with affinity for VMAT2 was developed in the mid 1990s by David E. Kuhl and colleagues at the University of Michigan.^[3] There are two enantiomers of alpha-dihydrotetrabenazine, and the dextrorotary(or (+) isomer) has a high affinity of about 1 nanomolar K_i whereas the levorotary (or (-) isomer) has approximately 1000 fold lower affinity with a K_i of about 2 micromolar.^[4]

VMAT2 is a membrane bound protein and a biomarker for Parkinson's disease. Binding of DTBZ to VMAT2 in individuals with Parkinson's disease is significantly reduced.^[5] Moreover, the VMAT2 density as determined by [¹⁸F]DTBZ has been shown to be well, inversely correlated with the severity of Parkinson's disease.^[6]

Avid Radiopharmaceuticals has sponsored clinical trials of [¹⁸F]AV-133 (or [¹⁸F]Fluoropropyl-(+)-DTBZ) to identify subjects with dopaminergic degeneration.^[7]
