Radiolabeled 2-amino-4-alkyl-6-(haloalkyl)pyridine compounds are disclosed. In some aspects, the compounds bind to inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) with high specificity. In some configurations, a compound comprising a radioisotope can be used for diagnostic imaging of iNOS distribution in a mammalian subject such as a human, using a scanning method such as positron emission tomography (PET scanning). Methods of synthesis of the compounds are also disclosed.
