Abstract
The development of positron emission tomography radioligands for the GABAA /benzodiazepine receptor complex (GABAA receptor) labeled with (11) C and (18) F is examined. The review covers labeling strategies as well as brief biological evaluations of radioligands. In addition, we assess the special considerations that must be taken during a development program for radioligands targeting the GABAA receptor and explore some of the challenges that lie ahead.Keywords: F-18; GABA; benzodiazepine; radiochemistry; radioligand
