Herein we design, synthesize, and evaluate several irreversible fluorine-containing MAGL inhibitors for positron emission tomography (PET) ligand development. Compound 6 (identified from a therapeutic agent) was advanced for 18F-labeling via a novel spirocyclic iodonium ylide (SCIDY) strategy, which demonstrated high brain permeability and excellent specific binding. This work supports further development of novel 18F-labeled MAGL PET probes.}, pages = {8866--8872}, title = {Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of 18F‑Labeled Monoacylglycerol Lipase Inhibitors as Novel Positron Emission Tomography Probes}, volume = {62}, year = {2019} }
