The glycine transporter type 1 (GlyT1) has emerged as a key novel target for the treatment of schizophrenia. We have recently discovered and developed [11C]RO5013853 as a novel positron emission tomography tracer for GlyT1 for which a reliable five-step synthetic route was established. The incorporation of the radioisotope was achieved in the final step through methylation of a sodium sulfinate precursor, itself easily accessible upon reduction of the corresponding sulfonyl-chloride analog. [11C] RO5013853 was prepared with high specific activity (>49 GBq/μmol) and high radiochemical purity (100%). A validation study of [11C]RO5013853 in animal imaging studies is in progress. Copyright
