Plasma concentrations, maximum regional brain concentrations, and specific regional binding in the brain after administration of 0, 0.1, and 0.2 mg/kg doses of (S)-ketamine were measured in a randomized, double-blind, crossover study in five volunteers and were related to induced effects such as analgesia, amnesia, and mood changes. Specific binding in the brain was assessed by simultaneous administration of (S)-[N-methyl-11C]ketamine quantified by positron emission tomography. High radioactivities in the brain corresponded to regional distribution of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complexes. A significant and dose-dependent reduction of binding was measured as a result of displacement of (S)-[N-methyl-11C]ketamine. Memory impairment and psychotomimetic effects were related to dose, plasma concentration 4 minutes after administration, and decreased regional binding of (S)-ketamine in the brain and were consistently seen at plasma and maximum regional brain (S)-ketamine concentrations higher than 70 and 500 ng/ml, respectively. The magnitude of specific binding of (S)-ketamine, measured with positron emission tomography, can be related directly to drug effects.
