Melanin probe-2 (CAT: I015203), also known as compound 5, is a non-radioactive bromopicolinamide precursor. It is used in the synthesis of 18F-labeled Picolinamide PET probes (HY-136404) for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The probe can be utilized to visualize and study melanin-related processes and pathways in various biological systems. Its application in PET imaging provides valuable insights into melanin distribution, metabolism, and function, enabling researchers to explore melanin-associated diseases and develop targeted therapeutic strategies.
