چکیده
As PET candidate tracers for EGFr-TK, five 4-(anilino)quinazoline derivatives, each fluorinated in the aniline moiety, were prepared. Each was tested in vitro for inhibition of EGFr autophosphorylation in A431 cell line. The leading compounds were then radiolabeled with F and cell binding experiments, biodistribution and PET studies in A431 tumor-bearing mice were performed. Metabolic studies were carried out in a mice control group. From our results, we concluded that while in vitro experiments indicates efficacy of 4-(anilino)quinazoline compounds, kinetic factors and rapid blood clearance make them unsuitable as tracers for nuclear medicine imaging of EGFr-TK. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.

Positron-Emission Tomography (PET) is an imaging technology currently used in drug development as a non-invasive measure of drug distribution and interaction with biochemical target system. The level of receptor occupancy achieved by a compound can be estimated by comparing time-activity measurements in an experiment done using tracer alone with the activity measured when the tracer is given fo...
متن کاملParametrically excited non-linear systems: a comparison of two methods
Subharmonic resonance of two-degree-of-freedom systems with cubic nonlinearities to multifrequency parametric excitations in the presence of three-to-one internal resonance is investigated. Two approximate methods (the multiple scales and the generalized synchronization) are used to construct a first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and ...
متن کاملFast algorithm for 3-D vascular tree modeling
In this short paper, accelerated three-dimensional computer simulations of vascular trees development, preserving physiological and haemodynamic features, are reported. The new computation schemes deal: (i). with the geometrical optimization of each newly created bifurcation; and (ii). with the recalculation of blood pressures and radii of vessels in the whole tree. A significant decrease of th...
متن کاملFault-diagnosis of grid structures
The problem of fault diagnosis in grid-connected systems is considered. A diagnosis algorithm, called DAGS and based on the PMC model, is presented. DAGS provides a diagnosis which is shown to be correct, although possibly incomplete, if the cardinality of the actual fault set is below a bound Tσ, dependent of the actual syndrome σ. A bound T independent of σ is also derived by a worst-case ana...
متن کاملContextual modulation of orientation discrimination is independent of stimulus processing time
Contextual inhibition of neural activity in the primary visual cortex begins immediately and is most pronounced in the early transient response component. Using backward masking to control available processing time, we investigated whether the interaction between perceptual contextual modulation and processing time reflects the neural dynamics of contextual inhibition. We found that the thresho...
