Abstract

The translocator protein (TSPO) has attracted scientist's attention for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging due to correlation with brain cancer, stroke, and neurodegeneration. Recently, GE-180, a novel tricyclic derivative has been developed as a new high affinity agent for the TSPO and evaluated to confirm a possibility for the TSPO ligand. In this highlight review, several studies for the novel TSPO radiotracer are described.
