Specific targeting of tumors with radioactive isotopes is the key for high‐sensitivity scintigraphy detection. A labeled neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor is described that accumulates in vivo in tumor cells expressing this enzyme, which makes it a potential tool for noninvasive evaluation of NEP expression. Its structure (black with the label depicted in red, DTPA=diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) is shown in a model of the NEP active site (blue).
