Since the translocator protein (TSPO) is involved in neurodegeneration diseases, many scientists' interest has been focused on the development of a ligand targeting TSPO. A novel compound based on pyrazolo[1,5 -a] pyrimidine structure, DPA-714, has been studied and considered as a TSPO ligand with high affinity. In this highlight review, several researches for the novel radioligand for the translocator protein are illustrated.
