New ChemMedChem paper: Chemistry of TSPO PET radio tracer GE387

24 June 2019

The group has recently published a paper about the Chemistry of a novel TSPO PET radiotracer candidate GE387 in ChemMedChem. While still preserving the in vitro / in vivo properties of its analogue GE180, GE387 is shown to be independent from the TSPO genetic polymorphism which presents an exceptional advantage. We hope to...
