General Description

A-18-F-NH2, or 18F-labeled 5-(2-aminoethoxy)-N-(3-fluoropropyl)benzamide, is a radiolabeled chemical used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to visualize the distribution and density of neuroreceptors in the brain. A-18-F-NH2 is a radiotracer that binds to the sigma-1 receptor, a protein associated with various neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and depression. A-18-F-NH2 has shown promise in preclinical studies for imaging and understanding the role of sigma-1 receptors in these conditions, and could potentially aid in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for these disorders.
