Radiosynthesis of [11C]‐N‐methylacyclovir

Abstract
A selective and potent analogue of the anti‐herpes agent acyclovir has been labelled with 11C in good yield and at high specific activities. 1‐[11C]‐Methyl‐9‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)methyl)guanine may be useful for detecting HSV encephalitis using positron emission tomography.
