Positron emission tomography studies were performed in healthy volunteers at placebo conditions and after treatment with clinical doses of moclobemide. In either condition, a two-tissue compartment model (2CM) provided better fits to the data than a one-tissue model. Estimates of k<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\/ k<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> values from an unconstrained 2CM were highly variable. In contrast, estimates of the specifically bound radioligand distribution volume ( DV<jats:sub>B<\/jats:sub>) from an unconstrained 2CM were exceptionally stable, correlated well with the known distribution of MAO-A in the brain (cerebellum &lt;frontal cortex \u2248 putamen &lt;temporal cortex \u2248 cingulate &lt;thalamus) and thus provided reliable indices of MAO-A density. Total distribution volume (DV) values were also highly stable and not different from those estimated with the Logan approach. Fixing the DV of free and nonspecifically bound radiotracer ( DV<jats:sub>F + NS<\/jats:sub>) or coupling DV<jats:sub>F + NS<\/jats:sub> between brain regions enabled more stable estimates of k<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\/ k<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> as compared with an unconstrained 2CM. Moclobemide treatment leads to a 64% to 79% MAO-A blockade across brain regions, a result that supports the specificity of [<jats:sup>11<\/jats:sup>C]-harmine binding to MAO-A. The stability and reliability of DV<jats:sub>B<\/jats:sub> values obtained from an unconstrained 2CM, together with the computational simplicity associated with this method, support the use of DV<jats:sub>B<\/jats:sub> as an appropriate outcome measure for [<jats:sup>11<\/jats:sup>C]-harmine. These results indicate the suitability of using [<jats:sup>11<\/jats:sup>C]-harmine for quantitative evaluation of MAO-A densities using PET and should enable further studies of potential MAO-A dysregulation in several psychiatric and neurologic illnesses. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.jcbfm.9600197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,4]],"date-time":"2005-08-04T05:46:47Z","timestamp":1123134407000},"page":"330-344","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":90,"title":["Positron Emission Tomography Quantification of [<sup>11<\/sup>C]-Harmine Binding to Monoamine Oxidase-A in the Human Brain"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Ginovart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PET Centre, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey H","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PET Centre, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anahita","family":"Boovariwala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PET Centre, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doug","family":"Hussey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PET Centre, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eugenii A","family":"Rabiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PET Psychiatry, Translational Medicine and Genetics, GlaxoSmithKline, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sylvain","family":"Houle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PET Centre, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan A","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PET Centre, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-sj.jcbfm.9600197","first-page":"228","volume":"35","author":"Abi-Dargham A","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Nucl Med"},{"key":"bibr2-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TAC.1974.1100705"},{"key":"bibr3-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0969-8051(95)02051-9"},{"key":"bibr4-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02246250"},{"key":"bibr5-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0969-8051(97)80003-0"},{"key":"bibr6-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0969-8051(97)00013-9"},{"key":"bibr7-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s002280050260"},{"key":"bibr8-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1527-3458.2003.tb00245.x"},{"key":"bibr9-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jcbfm.1989.41"},{"key":"bibr10-sj.jcbfm.9600197","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1124\/jpet.102.046953"},{"key":"bibr11-sj.jcbfm.9600197","first-page":"699","volume":"37","author":"Buck A","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Nucl Med"},{"key":"bibr12-sj.jcbfm.9600197","first-page":"347","volume-title":"Positron emission tomography.
