A practical method for the preparation of large amounts of enantiomerically pure alpha-[14C]methyl-L-tryptophan using the enzymatic resolution of the corresponding D,L-methyl ester is reported. The radiolabelled alpha-methyl group was introduced using the alpha-methylation of the lithium enolate of

Local cerebral serotonin synthesis capacity was measured with ␣- [C-11]methyl-L-tryptophan ([C-11]AMT) in normal adult human brain (n ϭ 10; five males, five females; age range, 18-38 years, mean 28.3 years) by using positron emission tomography (PET). [C-11]AMT is an analog of tryptophan, the precur
