In an effort to identify novel binding sites for cocaine and its analogs, we carried out binding studies with the high-affinity and selective ligand [ 125 I]RTI-121 in rat frontal cortical tissue. Very low densities of binding sites were found. Saturation analysis revealed that the binding was to bo

Tomographic imaging of central nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) via single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been hampered by the lack of a radioligand with suitable in vivo binding characteristics. Therefore, a novel analog of epibatidine, (6)-exo-2-(2-iodo-5-pyridyl)-7-azab
## Abstract The tropane alkaloid RTIβ82, an iodoarylazide, has been labeled with iodineβ125 for use as a photoaffinity probe for the cocaine binding site of the dopamine transporter. The oneβflask radiosynthesis involves nocarrierβadded electrophilic radioiodination of the corresponding aniline fol
