[3H]-(R)-NPTS, a radioligand for the type 1 glycine transporter

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Apr 7;13(7):1291-2. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(03)00126-4.

Abstract

The synthesis of NPTS, 6, a potent inhibitor of the type 1 glycine transporter (GlyT1) is described, as well as preparation of 6 in optically active and tritiated form for use as a radioligand for affinity displacement assay of GlyT1.
