Abstract

Rational modification of the potent calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist MK-3207 led to a series of analogues with enhanced CNS penetrance and a convenient chemical handle for introduction of a radiolabel. A number of (11)C-tracers were synthesized and evaluated in vivo, leading to the identification of [(11)C]8 ([(11)C]MK-4232), the first positron emission tomography tracer for the CGRP receptor.
