SPECT Tracer Database
The purpose of this database is to facilitate the sharing of tracers
between compound developers and researchers. The goal is to broaden
the availability of novel research SPECT tracers for in-vivo animal
studies and to thereby broaden the use of SPECT studies in basic
biology and pharmaceutical research.
The tracers in this database can be obtained from a variety of sources
- hospital or commercial radiopharmacies (for clinically approved
compounds), companies who are conducting clinical trials of novel
tracers and are willing to make them available for pre-clinical
research as well, and a wide range of researchers who are developing
tracers for specific targets. The last group has by far the largest
number of tracers to offer to the research community, and we hope that
these developers will enter their compounds into the database and make
them available to other researchers.
New tracers can be entered into the database simply by clicking on
[NEW]
at the top of the page and filling out the requested information. New
tracers will be added to the database as long as there is sufficient
information to show that they have demonstrated specific molecular
targeting in an animal model.
We hope that you will find this database useful both for disseminating
information about your new tracers and for obtaining information on
other tracers that may be useful in your research. We welcome your
new entries into the database as well as your comments and
suggestions for improvements.
