Abstract: | Melatonin demands that this hormone and its receptors be well understood. With this aim in mind, synthetic melatonin was radioiodinated with no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) sodium iodide-123 using in situ generated peracetic acid as oxidizing agent for electrophilic iodination at room temperature. The radiochemical yield was typically greater than 80% after 20 min reaction time especially when relatively small amounts of activities were used (
