Abstract

Development of agonist positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands for the 5-HT neurotransmitter system is an important target to enable the understanding of human 5-HT function in vivo. [(11)C]CUMI-101, proposed as the first 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist PET ligand, has been reported to behave as a potent 5-HT(1A) agonist in a cellular system stably expressing human recombinant 5-HT(1A) receptors. In this study, we investigate the agonist properties of CUMI-101 in rat brain tissue.
