Do Brain Extracellular Fluid Concentrations Predict PET‐Inferred Receptor Occupancy in Human CNS? A Mechanistic Model‐Based Analysis of Dopamine D2 Receptor Ligands

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
A mechanistic CNS PBPK model framework was applied to eight antipsychotic D2 receptor ligands, comparing brain extracellular fluid (brainECF) and brain cell membrane (brainM) as biophase for predicting human receptor occupancy compared against PET neuroimaging data. BrainM concentrations showed improved agreement with PET‐derived receptor occupancy for
