17455246 Biegon A, Gibbs A, Alvarado M, Ono M, Taylor S: In vitro and in vivo characterization of [3H] CNS-5161--a use-dependent ligand for the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor in rat brain. Synapse. 2007 Aug;61(8):577-86.

The goal of the present work was to characterize and validate a candidate agent for noninvasive positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of this receptor. [(3) H]-labeled N-[3-(3) H]-methyl-3-(thiomethylphenyl) cyanamide (CNS-5161) was incubated with rat brain homogenates at increasing concentrations, temperatures, and times to establish the binding kinetics and affinity of the ligand in vitro.
