Equilibration of 6-[18F]fluoro-L-m-tyrosine between plasma and erythrocytes.

چکیده
UNLABELLED Intracranial or intraventricular blood pools have been suggested as noninvasive sources of an input function for quantitative PET. These techniques measure the concentration of the tracer in whole blood, but the concentration in plasma depends on the equilibration of the tracer between plasma and erythrocytes. METHODS FDG, 6-[18F]fluoro-L-m-tyrosine (FmT), or its major metabolite, 6-[18F]fluoro-3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (FHPAA), was added to blood samples obtained from healthy fasting volunteers along with radioiodinated human serum albumin (RIHSA). Samples were incubated at 37 degrees C for times between 10 s and 2 h and then plunged into an ice bath and centrifuged. Whole blood and plasma were counted for 18F and 125I activities. The resulting time courses were fit to successively more complex models, evaluated using an F test. RESULTS All radioactivity associated with RIHSA remained in the plasma, whereas FDG equilibrated instantaneously between plasma and erythrocytes. FmT took about 1 h to equilibrate between plasma and erythrocytes; this time course could be described by a single exponential with a half-life of 10 min. FHPAA equilibrated within the first 5 min of the study. CONCLUSION Our results show that, unlike FDG, the partitioning of FmT between plasma and erythrocytes is a relatively slow process. We present an analytic correction that may be applied to the measured time course of radioactivity in whole blood to obtain the time course of the tracer in plasma.

A Practical Method for the Preparation of 18F-Labeled Aromatic Amino Acids from Nucleophilic [18F]Fluoride and Stannyl Precursors for Electrophilic Radiohalogenation.
In a recent contribution of Scott et al., the substrate scope of Cu-mediated nucleophilic radiofluorination with [18F]KF for the preparation of 18F-labeled arenes was extended to aryl- and vinylstannanes. Based on these findings, the potential of this reaction for the production of clinically relevant positron emission tomography (PET) tracers was investigated. To this end, Cu-mediated radioflu...
متن کاملA within-subject comparison of 6-[18F]fluoro-m-tyrosine and 6-[18F]fluoro-L-dopa in Parkinson's disease.
Progression of Parkinson's disease symptoms is imperfectly correlated with positron emission tomography biomarkers for dopamine biosynthetic pathways. The radiopharmaceutical 6-[(18) F]fluoro-m-tyrosine is not a substrate for catechol-O-methyltransferase and therefore has a more favorable uptake-to-background ratio than 6-[(18) F]fluoro-L-dopa. The objective of this study was to evaluate 6-[(18...

Metabolism of no-carrier-added 2-[18F]fluoro-L-tyrosine in rats
BACKGROUND Several fluorine-18 labelled fluoroamino acids have been evaluated as tracers for the quantitative assessment of cerebral protein synthesis in vivo by positron emission tomography (PET). Among these, 2-[18F]fluoro-L-tyrosine (2-[18F]Tyr) has been studied in mice at a low specific activity. Its incorporation into proteins is fast and metabolism via other pathways is limited. The prese...

PURPOSE We aimed to assess the usefulness of positron emission tomography (PET) using the amino acid tracer L-3-[18F] fluoro-alpha-methyl tyrosine (FAMT) in detecting metastatic liver lesions compared with 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG). METHODS We included 24 patients with liver metastases who underwent both FDG-PET/computed tomography (CT) and FAMT-PET/CT. Maximum standardized uptake v...
