MePPEP ((3R,5R)-5-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-3-((R)-1-phenyl-ethylamino)-1-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyrrolidin-2-one) is an inverse agonist at cannabinoid CB1 receptors. Radiolabeled MePPEP may be used for PET imaging of cannabinoid CB1 receptors in the brain of patients with psychiatric disorders such as alcohol dependence and psychoses.
