| Title: | Iodinated neuroprobe for mapping monoamine reuptake sites |
| Abstract: | An iodinated neuroprobe is provided for mapping monoamine reuptake sites. The iodinated neuroprobe is of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R=aryl, substituted aryl, heterocyclic, CO(CH.sub.2).sub.n Y, (CH.sub.2).sub.n CHF.sub.2, and (CF.sub.2).sub.n Y, wherein: Y=Cl, Br, I, (CH.sub.2).sub.m, aryl, substituted aryl, heterocyclic CO.sub.2 H, CO.sub.2 R.sup.3, CO.sub.2 NR.sup.3 R.sup.4, OH, OR.sup.3, CH(OR.sup.3).sub.2, CR.sup.3 (OR.sup.4).sub.2, OC0R.sup.3, OSO.sub.2 R.sup.3, OCONR.sup.3 R.sup.4, OCOOR.sup.3, CONR.sup.3 R.sup.4, NR.sup.3 R.sup.4, NR.sup.3 COR.sup.4, NR.sup.3 CO.sub.2 R.sup.4, NR.sup.3 CONR.sup.4 R.sup.5, NCS, NCO; R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 =alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, aryl, substituted aryl, or heterocyclic; m=3-8; and n=1-6; R'=C.sub.w H.sub.2w+1 wherein w=0-6 and C includes an isotope of carbon; and X=an isotope of Cl, an isotope of Br, an isotope of F, an isotope of I, or Sn(R".sub.1 R".sub.2 R".sub.3), wherein R".sub.1 =a C.sub.p H.sub.2p+1 group where p=1-6, or an aryl group; R".sub.2 =a CH.sub.p+1 group where p=1-6, or an aryl group; and R".sub.3 =a C.sub.p H.sub.2p+1 group where p=1-6, or an aryl group. Related analogs are also provided. Additionally, a precursor of a radiolabeled neuroprobe and a kit for preparing the iodinated neuroprobe are provided. |
