Flubatine ([18F]-norchloro-fluoro-homoepibatidine) is a fluorine-18 (18F) labeled radiotracer and radioligand for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, developed as a high-affinity ligand for brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of the α4β2 subtype.[2][3] It is used to image cholinergic deficits in disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.[4] Both (+)- and (−)- enantiomer bind specifically to α4β2 nAChRs.[5]
