  ABSTRACT: Synthesis of 11C-labeled capsaicin ([11C]-2) was accomplished by O-[11C]methylation with [11C]-methyl iodide to a corresponding catechol precursor (1). In Vivo whole-body distribution of [11C]-2 in rats was investigated by positron emission tomography after intravenous injection. The results showed that [11C]-2 accumulated in the brain and body surface, which was closely associated with the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1.
