The aim of this work is the evaluation of biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of a cocaine analog, the N-(3-iodo-prop-2E-enyl)-2beta-carbo-methoxy-3beta-(4-methyl-phenyl) nor-tropane (PE2I), labeled with carbon 11 ([{sup 11}C]PE2I). The [{sup 11}C]PE2I is a selective radioligand for imaging neuronal dopamine transporter (DAT) with positron emission tomography (PET). The DAT is a membrane-bound pre synaptically located protein that regulates the concentration of dopamine at nerve terminals. DAT radioligands are often used to evaluate the progression of Parkinson's disease or the efficiency of neuro-protective therapeutics and, typically, these studies required several successive PET scans.

Constituents of fruit pulp of Maytenus salicifolia and complete 1D/2D NMR data of 3?-hydroxy-D:B-friedo-olean-5-ene  

British Library Electronic Table of Contents (United Kingdom)

A mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons constituted by nonacosane (29C, 7.5%), hentriacontane (31C, 48.3%), and tritriacontane (33C, 30.1%), the ester 1?-acetyloxymethylpentacosa-20?-enyl 10-hydroxydecanoate (2), ?-amyrin (3), friedelin (4), and lupeol (5), and 3?-hydroxy-D:B-friedo-olean-5-ene (6) were identified as constituents of fruits of Maytenus salicifolia Reissek (Celastraceae). The structural formula and the stereochemistry of compound 6 were established by the data obtained through 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including DEPT-135 and 2D (HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY) experiments. By analysis of the spectral data, it was possible to correct seven chemical shift assignments of compound 6, which were erroneous attributed and published in the scientific literature.
