      The adenosine A<sub>2A</sub> receptor (A<sub>2A</sub>R) represents a potential therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases. Aiming at the development of a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer to monitor changes of receptor density and/or occupancy during the A<sub>2A</sub>R-tailored therapy, we designed a library of fluorinated analogs based on a recently published lead compound ...
    • Sigma-1 receptor positron emission tomography: A new molecular imaging approach using (S)-(-)-[18F]fluspidine in glioblastoma

      Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most devastating primary brain tumour characterised by infiltrative growth and resistance to therapies. According to recent research, the sigma-1 receptor (sig1R), an endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein, is involved in signaling pathways assumed to control the proliferation of cancer cells and thus could serve as candidate for molecular characterisation of ...
