Radiosynthesis of a 125I Analog of a Highly Selective Alpha3beta4 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Antagonist Ligand for Use in Autoradiography Studies

Our laboratory has discovered a series of very high affinity and highly selective ligands for the α3β4 nAChR subtype. We now report the synthesis of a radiolabeled 125I analog of N-(2-iodophenyl)-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-amine (AT-1012), a subnanomolar affinity, highly selective α3β4 nAChR ligand from this series.

The names we play: exploring MMOG players’ avatar naming conventions

Our hypothesis is that naming practices represent one primary (and underexplored) means through which players maintain continuity and a stable identity across their MMOG play. Here, we report on the avatar naming practices that we identified through both quantitative and qualitative analyses of this data set.
