Abstract
Iodinated neuroprobes for mapping monoamine reuptake sites in the brain, and particularly iodinated neuroprobes that can also serve as radiotracers for use in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging of such reuptake sites, are disclosed. Precursors of radiolabeled iodinated neuroprobes, both with and without a radiotracer atom, and kits for preparing the radiolabeled iodinated neuroprobes are also disclosed.
