Design and Synthesis of an 18F-Labeled Version of Phenylethyl Orvinol ([18F]FE-PEO) for PET-Imaging of Opioid Receptors

The semisynthetic oripavine derivative phenethyl orvinol (PEO), a full agonist at opioid receptors (OR), is an attractive structural motif for developing 18F-labeled PET tracers with a high degree of sensitivity for competition between endogenous and exogenous OR-ligands. The target cold reference c...
