Title: /sup 76/Br-bromospiroperidol: a new tool for quantitative in-vivo imaging of neuroleptic receptors

Journal Article · · Life Sci.; (United States)

Bromine-76 labeled bromospiperone has been prepared with a very high specific activity (>1 Ci/..mu..mole). In-vivo studies in rat correborated by PET studies in baboon have shown that the regional concentration of this radioligand parallels the morphologic distribution of dopamine receptors and that its binding in the striatum is saturable and displaceable. Tomographic images show a clear delineation of the stratial region 2.5 hours after administration of the radioligand.
