Microchemical synthesis of the serotonin receptor ligand, /sup 125/I-LSD

Journal Article · · Anal. Biochem.; (United States)

The synthesis and properties of 2-(/sup 125/I)-lysergic acid diethylamide, the first /sup 125/I-labeled serotonin receptor ligand, are described. A novel microsynthesis apparatus was developed for this synthesis. The apparatus employs a micromanipulator and glass micro tools to handle microliter to nanoliter volumes on a microscope stage. This apparatus should be generally useful for the synthesis of radioligands and other compounds when limited amounts of material must be handled in small volumes.
