Synthesis and preclinical evaluation of a novel 2-[ 18 F]fluoropyridine-bearing rhodamine for myocardial perfusion imaging with PET
Maya Mahmood, Emily Murrell, Seniha Ozyuncu, Junchao Tong, Angelina Lui, James A. H. InksterA [ 18 F]fluoropyridine-bearing rhodamine has been designed for myocardial perfusion imaging. Straightforward synthesis of precursors and automated radiolabeling methods permitted the evaluation of [ 18 F]Rho6G-DEG-Py-F uptake into rat hearts with PET.
