• Beschreibung: 2-(3-Iodophenyl)acetic acid is a synthetic radiotracer that binds to dopamine receptors. It competes with the endogenous ligand dopamine and is used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to determine the distribution of dopamine receptors in various parts of the brain. 2-(3-Iodophenyl)acetic acid has a high affinity for dopamine D2 receptors, but its binding is not as selective as that of other PET radioligands such as raclopride, which binds more specifically to D2 receptors. This means that 2-(3-Iodophenyl)acetic acid can bind to other types of receptors, such as 5HT1A serotonin receptor or α1 adrenergic receptor. The uptake and reuptake rate constants are measured by modelling the data from radioactive tracer studies. These values depend on the concentration of 2-(3-Iodophenyl)acetic acid in different regions of the brain and can
