Treatments Being Tested
Fluoro[18F]promethazine
It is the first F-18-labeled VMAT2 imaging agent for PET imaging that is currently being used in the clinic internationally. In the brains of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, the target binding of fluoro\[18F\]promethazine was significantly reduced compared with that of normal controls, with an 81% reduction in the posterior region of the nucleus accumbens, a 70% reduction in the anterior region of the nucleus accumbens, and a 48% reduction in the caudate nucleus; the radioactivity uptake in the caudate nucleus of PD patients was correlated with the extent of their disease
