PE2I is a high-affinity dopamine transporter (DA(T)) ligand that exhibits high selectivity for the DA(T) over the serotonin (5-HT(T)) and norephinephrine transporter (NE(T)) making its carbon-11 and iodine-125 labeled forms very useful for quantification of DA(T) binding sites in vivo. In this paper, we reported the synthesis of tritium-labeled PE2I, as well as improvements in the preparation of its acid precursor and PE2I itself with significant improvement in the total yield compared to previously published results. The new radioligand was evaluated as a tool for assessing DA(T) binding sites in vitro. The radioligand binding to mice striatal membranes demonstrated a homogeneous population of DA(T) binding sites with the K(d) value 9 nM.
