BRD1158 is a selective, fully reversible and brain-penetrant COX2 inhibitor . It has a rapid target kon and koff rates which makes it a good candidate as a PET radiotracer to monitor enzyme dynamics in vivo. The radiotracer BRD1158 is particuarly suited for imaging in tissues (such as microglia) where basal COX2 expression is very low, and has demonstrated its in vivo imaging potential in rodent models that express human COX2 (including a mouse Huntington's disease model in which COX2 expression is elevated in disease-affected brain regions).

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
