The alpha (v)beta (3) integrin receptor ligand [I-125]L-775,219, 1c, was sy
nthesized for use in an in vitro receptor binding assay with high specific
activity (>1500 Ci/mmol) and a radiochemical yield of 15-20%. Conversion of
iodide 1b to the corresponding aryl trimethylstannane 2, followed by radio
iodination using (NaI)-I-125/iodobead gave 1c.
