The pharmacokinetics of two 2-substituted phenylmetyrapone analogues, 2-methoxyphenylmetyrapone (2-MPMP) and 2-bromophenylmetyrapone (2-BrPMP), developed as potential adrenal imaging agents, were investigated ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Metyrapone, a potent inhibitor of llβ-hydroxylation in the adrenal cortex has been chemically modified to facilitate labelling with SPECT and PET radionuclides. The 2substituted phenylmetyrapone derivatives 2-...
