A new fluorescent biarsenical peptide labeling probe was synthesized and labeled with the radioactive isotopes <sup>11</sup>C and <sup>18</sup>F. The utility of this probe was demonstrated by installing each of these isotopes into a melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) binding peptide, which targets melanoma tumors. Its applicability was further showcased by subsequent <i>in vitro</i> imaging in cells as well as <i>in vivo</i> imaging in melanoma xenograft mice by fluorescence and positron emission to ...[more]
