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
Figure 1, 1a, hNK1 IC 50 = 67pM) is an NK1 receptor PET ligand that was developed in collaboration with the Turku, Uppsala and Hammersmith PET Centers. One drawback of this tracer is its faster rate of defluorination in nonhuman primates than in humans. It was our desire to improve [ 18 F]SPARQ for preclinical PET studies in non-human primates by slowing the rate of defluorination and increasing the plasma halflife of the tracer. Previously we introduced deuterium atoms in the fluoromethyl methylene group to produce [ 18 F]DSPARQ, 1b, and more recently we have synthesized the fluoroethyl analog ([ 18 F]FESPARQ, 2; hNK1 IC 50 = 17pM).

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
