Abstract
As part of our program to develop PET tracers for investigating monoaminergic processes in the brain, mianserin, a tetracyclic, atypical antidepressant, was selected as a candidate for labelling with ^11^C for in vivo evaluation. [N‐methyl‐^11^C]Mianserin was produced by the alkylation of N‐desmethyl mianserin with [^11^C]methyl iodide followed by HPLC purification and formulation. [N‐methyl‐^11^C]Mianserin was obtained with a radiochemical purity >93% in a 16% decay corrected radiochemical yield. For a typical production starting with 40 GBq [^11^C]CO~2~, 1.9 GBq [N‐methyl‐^11^C]mianserin was obtained as a formulated solution in a synthesis time of 35 min (counted from EOB).

## Abstract The radiochemical synthesis of N‐[^11^C‐methyl]‐L‐DOPA was accomplished by N‐methylation of the methyl and ethyl esters of L‐N‐tert‐butyl‐oxycarbonyl‐[β‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)] alaninate with [^11^C]iodomethane using sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran and deprotection of the N‐methyl inte
## Abstract [^11^C]Paraquat was synthesized by the reaction of [^11^C]methyl triflate with the mono‐triflate salt of 1‐methyl‐[4,4′]bipyridinyl. The product was selectively separated from the precursor by a microcolumn of Chelex 100 ion exchange resin. The method was applied to the synthesis of a v
## Abstract Roxithromycine, a new macrolide, was labelled with [^11^C]CH~3~I in a good radiochemical yield (40‐45%)and high specific activities (500‐550mCi/μmol). This antibiotic may be useful for detecting pulmonar or cerebral infection foci using positron emission tomography.
