McN5652

Introduction

McN5652 is a molecule that can be radiolabeled and then used as a radioligand in positron emission tomography (PET) studies. The [11C](+)McN5652 enantiomer binds to the serotonin transporter.[1]

The radioligand is used for molecular neuroimaging, but also for imaging of the lungs.[2]
