Abstract

The regional distribution of N1′-(¹¹C]methyl)naltrindole ([¹¹C]MeNTI) in vivo in mouse brain correlates with established δ opioid receptor densities in vitro. [¹¹C]MeNTI binding is blocked by naltrindole, a δ antagonist, but not by cyprodime, a μ antagonist, of by (±)-U50,488, a κ agonist. Thus, [¹¹C]MeNTI selectively labels central δ opioid receptors in vivo in mouse, and shows promise for positron emission tomography studies of δ sites in human brain.
