Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is a key regulatory and protective enzyme because its substrates include many physiologically active amines including neurotransmitters, drugs and dietary amines. It occurs in two different subtypes, MAO A and MAO B which are different gene products and have different substra

โฆ Synopsis
We report here the radiosynthesis, in vitro, and in vivo characterisation of novel b-amyloid binding radiotracers and compare them to the recently reported [ 11 C]-6-OH-BTA-1, currently being tested in Alzheimer's patients 1 . The compounds in the Table below were radiolabelled with 11 C and their binding affinity for Ab1-40 aggregates measured. They were evaluated using in vitro and ex vivo autoradiography in transgenic mice expressing ร-amyloid protein.

In developing 99m Tc-based radioligands for in vivo study of cardiac adrenergic neurons, we compared the relative uptake of the new 99m Tc-labelled compound 99m Tc-FBPBAT with those of the SPET radiotracer 123 I-MIBG in rat vascular smooth muscle cells and neonatal ventricular cardiac myocytes as es
