In Vivo Rodent Studies with the Novel PET Tracer [18F]PGM028299: An Inhibitor of D-Amino Acid Oxidase.
Abnormal N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) function is implicated in schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Enhancing NMDAr signaling can be achieved by increasing synaptic d-serine levels through the inhibition of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO). We report the synthesis and preclinical evaluation of [18F]...
