Strategy to develop a MAO-A-resistant 5-hydroxy-l-[β-(11)C]tryptophan isotopologue based on deuterium kinetic isotope effects

BACKGROUND: The serotonin precursor 5-hydroxy-l-[β-(11)C]tryptophan ([(11)C]HTP) is in clinical use for localization of neuroendocrine tumors and has been suggested as a proxy marker for pancreatic islet cells.
