چکیده
N-(2-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)ethyl)-6-fluoronicotinamide ([(18)F]FNEM), a novel prosthetic agent that is thiol-specific, was synthesized using a one-pot two-step strategy: (1) (18)F incorporation by a nucleophilic displacement of trimethylammonium substrate under mild conditions; (2) amidation of the resulting 6-[(18)F]fluoronicotinic acid 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl ester with N-(2-aminoethyl)maleimide trifluoroacetate salt. The radiosynthesis of the maleimide tracer was completed in 75 min from [(18)F]fluoride with 26 ± 5% decay uncorrected radiochemical yield, and specific activity of 19-88 GBq/μmol (decay uncorrected). The in vitro cell uptake, in vivo biodistribution, and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging properties of its conjugation product with [Cys(40)]-exendin-4 were described. [(18)F]FNEM-Cys(40)-exendin-4 showed specific targeting of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) positive insulinomas and comparable imaging results to our recently reported [(18)F]FPenM-Cys(40)-exendin-4.

Arylboronates capture aqueous (18)F-fluoride in one step to afford a highly polar (18)F-labeled aryltrifluoroborate anion ((18)F-ArBF(3) (-)) that clears rapidly in vivo. To date however, there is little data to show that a ligand labeled with a prosthetic (18)F-ArBF(3) (-) will provide functional images.

متن کاملRadiosynthesis and evaluation of an 18F–labeled silicon containing exendin-4 peptide as a PET probe for imaging insulinoma
Background Analogues of exendin-4 have been radiolabeled for imaging the glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptors (GLP-1R) which are overexpressed in insulinoma. The aim of this research was to synthesize an 18F-labeled silicon containing exendin-4 peptide (18F-2) and to evaluate its in vitro and in vivo behavior in CHL-GLP-1 receptor positive tumor-bearing mice. 18F-labeled silicon containing ex...

In this study, radiosynthesis and biological evaluation of a new [18F]labeled glutamine analogue, N-(2-[18F]fluoropropionyl)-L-glutamine ([18F]FPGLN) for tumor PET imaging are performed. [18F]FPGLN was synthesized via a two-step reaction sequence from 4-nitrophenyl-2-[18F]fluoropropionate ([18F]NFP) with a decay-corrected yield of 30 ± 5% (n=10) and a specific activity of 48 ± 10 GBq/μmol after...

Background: Due to interesting tumor imaging properties of bis-thiosemicarbazones, [103Pd]-di-acetyl-bis (N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) ([103Pd] ATSM2) was prepared according to the analogy of radio copper homologues. Materials and Methods: Palladium-103 (T1/2=16.96 d) was produced via the 103Rh (p,n) 103Pd nuclear reaction with proton energy 18 MeV. The final activity was eluted in form of Pd ...

A novel thiol-reactive bifunctional agent, an analogue of fluorobenzaldehyde-O-[6-(2,5-dioxo-2,5dihydro-pyrrol-1-yl)-hexyl]oxime, (FBAM) has been synthesized. The new prosthetic group, [18F]FBAMPy, replaces the 4-fluorophenyl moiety with a 2-fluoropyridinyl moiety leading to increased polarity (FBAM analytical HPLC Rf = 6.4 min; FBAMPy Rf = 4.8 min) while retaining the sulfurreactive pendant.
