Carbon-11 labeled d-oxyphenonium iodide, a cholinergic antagonist is synthesized for in vivo visualization of muscarinic receptor-sites on airway tissue by positron emission tomography (PET). Methylation with [11C]CH3I of d-demethyloxyphenonium, followed by HPLC purification affords the desired radi

✦ Synopsis
Dexetimide (Fig. la), a potent muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist, and levetimide (Fig. lb), its pharmacologically inactive enantiomer, were labeled with "C for non-invasive in vivo studies of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the human brain using positron emission tomography. The syntheses were completed in approximately 32 min using [ct-HC]benzyl iodide as the precursor. The synthesis, purification, characterization and determination of specific activity are presented and discussed.
