title: NCL-6-124I: a PET agent for the adrenal.
abstract: The radiopharmaceutical 6 beta-[124I]iodomethyl-19-nor-cholest-5(10)-en-3 beta-ol (NCL-6-124I) was synthesized. The product was less sensitive to autoradiolytic decomposition in chloroform, than when stored as an injectable solution at 5 degrees C.
