Page/Page column 20, (2008/06/13)
The presently disclosed subject matter provides a method for synthesizing a radiological imaging agent by reacting a COX-2-selective ligand with a compound comprising a detectable group, wherein the COX-2-selective ligand is a derivative of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) comprising an ester moiety or a secondary amide moiety. Also provided are compositions that are synthesized using the method, as well as methods of using the compositions of the presently disclosed subject matter.
