Synthesis and Preliminary Evaluation of an F-18 Labeled Fluoropyridine Losartan Analog as a Novel PET Tracer for Imaging AT1 Receptors
Several cardiac diseases, including hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, and myocardial infarction, result in the upregulation of cardiac angiotensin II type-1 receptors (AT1R). Imaging the AT1R in vivo via PET provides the potential to monitor disease progression and guide therapy accordingly. The aim of t...
