123I-Rotenone (123I-CMICE-013) (i) rotenone derivative designed as a mitochondrial complex 1 (MC-1) inhibitor (ii) high myocardial uptake, high first pass extraction, slow washout because of specific MC-1 binding, very good target-to-background ratio (iii) 123I [ = 13.2 h, = 159 keV (83%), electron capture] (iv) 123I[Cyclotron production {124Xe(p,n)123I}]
