Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Jan 15;18(2):825-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.11.022. Epub 2007 Nov 17.

Abstract

The design and concise synthesis of a fluorescent tolterodine-BODIPY (boron dipyrromethene) conjugate is described which possesses potent antimuscarinic activity. This derivative illustrates proof-of-concept for the preparation of other useful fluorophoric antimuscarinic agents which have potential utility in receptor occupancy studies and high throughput screens.
