The present disclosure provides novel compounds, including compounds that bind to potassium channels, methods for their manufacture, and methods for their use, including their use to diagnose and/or assess traumatic brain injury and use to treat demyelinating diseases, and/or in vivo imaging of the central nervous system, and to diagnose and/or assess the progression of MS or other diseases.

Use of fluorinated derivatives of 4-aminopyridine in therapeutics and medical imaging

Disclosed herein are methods for the fluorination aromatic N-heterocyclic N-oxides that comprise at least one leaving group. The N-oxides may be reduced to the fluorinated aromatic N-heterocyclic amine analogs. This novel fluorination approach may be successfully applied for synthesizing aromatic N-heterocyclic compounds labeled withF.
