  • Publication number: 20200345870
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a fluorine-18-labeled, translocator protein overexpression-targeting PET radiotracer including: preparing a fluorine-18 reaction solution; producing a ((4-(6,8-dichloro-3-(2-(dipropylamino)-2-oxoethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)phenyl) (aryl)iodonium) anion precursor as an iodonium salt precursor; producing a 2-(6,8-dichloro-2-(4-(4,4,5,6-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl-N,N-dipropylacetamide precursor as a boron ester precursor; producing an iodonium salt precursor reaction solution; preparing a boron ester precursor reaction solution; and producing a radiotracer composition containing a fluorine-18-labeled radiotracer by reacting the iodonium salt or boron ester precursor reaction solution with the fluorine-18-labeled reaction solution.

  • Publication number: 20080231072
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle roof of a convertible having a front roof part (2) and a rear roof part (3) that contains the rear window (14) and is hingedly connected to the vehicle body. Front and rear roof part are connected to one another in an articulated manner and can be displaced between a closed position over the vehicle interior and a rear put-away position. The rear window (14) which is pivotably mounted to the rear roof part (3) is connected at the front edge thereof to the front roof part by means of a control rod (22) of a control cinematics, which is pivotably mounted to the front roof part, while in the put-away position the rear window has a position which is elevated in relation to the rear roof part (3). According to the invention, a pivotable bearing part (20) of the control cinematics, which is mounted on the front side of the rear window (14), can be accommodated at the guide (21) of the control rod (22) so as to be displaceable.
