Recently, tritium (H-3, 3H) labeled VUF11211 ([3H]VUF11211) was assessed in vitro, and the results suggested that it has a high affinity for human CXCR3 and has fast binding kinetics.[17] The positron emission tomography (PET) imaging probes of such compounds can provide sensitive Information that enables the investigation of pathophysiological processes of various inflammatory disorders, including atherosclerosis. This evidence concerns the gene CXCR3 and atherosclerosis.
