  • * Half-life of peak SUV of cerebellum was estimated from time–activity curves in literature.

  • Symbols indicate results of binding intensities semiquantitatively analyzed by ARG-based binding assay. − indicates no binding of compound to tau or Aβ, + corresponds to weak binding, and +++ corresponds to strong binding.
