Background: Inappropriately high aldosterone in patients with primary hyperaldosteronism (PHA) is due to increased aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) activity. Selective in vivo imaging of overexpressed CYP11B2 in adrenals with positron emission tomography (PET) has not yet been achieved due to close homology of enzymes involved in aldosterone and cortisol (CYP11B1) synthesis.Aim: Synthesize a fluorine-18 labelled highly selective CYP11B2 inhibitor,...

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common potentially curable cause of secondary hypertension and is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. For patients with unilateral disease adrenalectomy can be curative. However, PA remains substantially underdiagnosed due the complex diagnostic pathway required to identify patients with unilateral disease, and the difficulties in accurate lateralization of the affected adrenal gland.
