The present invention is concerned with radiolabelled quinoline and quinolinone derivatives according Formula (I-A)* or (I-B)* showing metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonistic activity, in particular mGlu1 receptor activity, and their preparation; it further relates to compositions comprising them, as well as their use for marking and identifying metabotropic glutamate receptor sites and for imaging an organ.
In a preferable embodiment, X represents O; R
1
represents C
1-6
alkyl; cycloC
3-12
alkyl or (cycloC
3-12
alkyl)C
1-6
alkyl, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms in a C
1-6
alkyl-moiety or in a cycloC
3-12
alkyl-moiety optionally may be replaced by C
1-6
alkyloxy, aryl, halo or thienyl; R
2
represents hydrogen; halo; C
1-6
alkyl or amino; R
3
and R
4
each independently represent hydrogen or C
1-6
alkyl; or R
2
and R
3
may be taken together to form —R
