Florbetapir-18F

A PET tracer labelled with fluorine-18 that binds to beta-amyloid plaques in the brain; approved in the United States in 2012, it was the first radiopharmaceutical authorised to image amyloid plaque density with PET. This family brings together the active ingredient.

Did you know?It grew out of research on Pittsburgh compound B, labelled with carbon-11, which lasts about 20 minutes: fluorine-18, with a half-life of almost 110 minutes, allows the tracer to be made elsewhere and shipped to hospitals.
