| Title: | Halogenated 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= ##STR2## wherein n=2-8; 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 C.sub.p H.sub.2p+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. Additionally, a precursor of a radiolabeled neuroprobe and a kit for preparing the iodinated neuroprobe are provided. |
