Evaluation of [11C]TMI as a COX-2 selective PET tracer in baboon

Conclusion: Our PET imaging studies in baboon show that [11C]TMI penetrates the BBB and distributes to COX-2 enriched brain regions. Details of the in vivo evaluation of [11C]TMI in baboon brain will be presented. References 1. Majo VJ et al., Bioorg Med Chem Let., 2005, 15, 4268. 2.
