Esters of 6-(4'-Fluorobenzylamino)-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid as potential benzodiazepine imaging agents for P.E.T.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/jlcr.2580360302

As potential P.E.T. imaging agents for the benzodiazepine receptor, two fluorine-18 labeled analogues of the β-carbolines were prepared via N-alkylation of the corresponding desbenzyl amine precursors with [¹⁸F]fluorobenzyl iodide.
