Product Information

• Name: 2-Fluoroethyl tosylate
• Synonyms: Fluoroethyl 4-toluenesulfonate

Description

2-Fluoroethyl tosylate is a potent antagonist of the benzodiazepine receptor that is used in vivo to measure the affinity and selectivity of ligands. The 2-fluoroethyl tosylate binds reversibly to the benzodiazepine receptor, so that it can be easily displaced by another ligand. This process can be quantified using positron emission tomography (PET) or optical imaging. 2-Fluoroethyl tosylate has also been used as a radiotracer for cardiac imaging and tumor xenografts. It is also used for studying glutamate receptors and uptake mechanisms in cells. The salt form of 2-fluoroethyl tosylate is sodium salts, which are water soluble and stable at high temperatures, making them useful for in vivo studies.
