“…Since then, we have been developing 2-arylquinoline (2-AQ) derivatives for tau PET imaging (15-17) and 3 18 F-labeled derivatives, 18 F-THK-523, 18 F-THK-5105, and 18 F-THK-5117, have already been evaluated in clinical studies (13,18,19). In recent basic and clinical studies, 18 F-THK-5117 demonstrated high binding selectivity and affinity for tau over Ab pathology and better pharmacokinetics in the living brain than other THK probes (18).…”
