In the present invention, a
deuterium-substituted FP-CIT linear precursor is developed in order to increase the linear stability of a precursor. When the
deuterium-substituted FP-CIT linear precursor according to the present invention is dissolved in an
organic solvent and stored,
linearity is maintained well even at
room temperature, and the same effect as a conventional radiopharmaceutical product [18F]FP-CIT is exhibited. In addition, D6-[18F]FP-CIT can be prepared simply and in a high yield, and thus can be effectively used as a starting material for the synthesis of D6-[18F]FP-CIT. Furthermore, a novel radiopharmaceutical product D6-[18F]FP-CIT enables
visualization of
dopamine transporter (DAT) distribution to be performed through improved
image contrast, and has particularly high accuracy in diagnosing Parkinson's
disease and related degenerative brain diseases, and thus can be effectively used.
