study was to develop a positronemissiontomography (PET) tracer based on the dual P-glycoprotein (P-gp) breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor tariquidar (1) to study the interaction of 1 with P-gp and BCRP in the blood–brain barrier (BBB) in vivo. O-Desmethyl-1 was synthesized and reacted with [11C]methyl triflate to afford [11C]-1. Small-animal PET imaging of [11C]-1 was performed in naïve
