The potential of 6-deoxy-6-[18F]fluoro-d-galactose (6-[18F]FdGal) as an in vivo tracer for studying galactose metabolism in tumors and liver was investigated. High uptake and rapid clearance of the radioactivity were observed in many organs of mice after i.v. injection of the tracer. d-Galactose loading did not affect liver uptake. Three experimental tumors showed a slightly higher uptake than other tissues, and rat brain tumor was clearly visualized by autoradiography. However, the radioactivity in tumors decreased rapidly. In the liver, a significant amount of the tracer was found in a galactonate form, while this oxidation was a minor metabolic pathway in the tumors. In both tumor and liver tissues, small amounts of the tracer were incorporated into macromolecular glycoconjugate via phosphate and uridylate forms as intermediate precursors. These results indicate that 6-[18F]FdGal is not suitable for studying galactose metabolism in vivo because of the low affinity of the tracer for the metabolism.  相似文献

Metabolism of galactose is a specialized liver function. The purpose of this PET study was to use the galactose analog 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxygalactose (FDGal) to investigate hepatic uptake and metabolism of galactose in vivo. FDGal kinetics was studied in 10 anesthetized pigs at blood concentrations of nonradioactive galactose yielding approximately first-order kinetics (tracer only; n = 4), intermediate kinetics (0.5-0.6 mmol galactose/l blood; n = 2), and near-saturation kinetics (>3 mmol galactose/l blood; n = 4). All animals underwent liver C15O PET (blood volume) and FDGal PET (galactose kinetics) with arterial and portal venous blood sampling. Flow rates in the hepatic artery and the portal vein were measured by ultrasound transit-time flowmeters. The hepatic uptake and net metabolic clearance of FDGal were quantified by nonlinear and linear regression analyses. The initial extraction fraction of FDGal from blood-to-hepatocyte was unity in all pigs. Hepatic net metabolic clearance of FDGal, K(FDGal), was 332-481 ml blood.min(-1).l(-1) tissue in experiments with approximately first-order kinetics and 15.2-21.8 ml blood.min(-1).l(-1) tissue in experiments with near-saturation kinetics. Maximal hepatic removal rates of galactose were on average 600 micromol.min(-1).l(-1) tissue (range 412-702), which was in agreement with other studies. There was no significant difference between K(FDGal) calculated with use of the dual tracer input (Kdual(FDGal)) or the single arterial input (Karterial(FDGal)). In conclusion, hepatic galactose kinetics can be quantified with the galactose analog FDGal. At near-saturated kinetics, the maximal hepatic removal rate of galactose can be calculated from the net metabolic clearance of FDGal and the blood concentration of galactose.  相似文献

An ideal positron emission tomography (PET) tracer should be highly extractable by the tumor tissue or organ that contains low toxicity and can provide high-resolution images in vivo. In this work, the aim was to evaluate the application of Al18F-labeled 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid containing sulfonamide group (18F-Al-NOTA-SN) as a potential tumor-targeting signal-enhanced radioactive tracer in PET. SN as a tumor-targeting group was incorporated to NOTA to make a ligand. Subsequently, this ligand reacted with Na18F and AlCl3 to produce a compound 18F-Al-NOTA-SN. This compound was further characterized and its property in regard to cell cytotoxicity assay, microPET imaging, biodistribution, cell uptake assay, and tumor selectivity in vitro and in vivo, was also investigated. 18F-Al-NOTA-SN possessed low cell cytotoxicity and uptake to COS-7 and 293T healthy cells and high cell cytotoxicity and uptake to MDA-MB-231, HepG2, and HeLa tumor cells in vitro. Moreover, 18F-Al-NOTA-SN showed good tumor-targeting property and high PET signal enhancement of HeLa tumors, liver, and kidneys in mice, as well as the uptake ratios of tumor to blood and tumor to muscle, were 4.98 and 3.87, respectively. 18F-Al-NOTA-SN can be accepted to be kidney and liver eliminated earlier and show a potential tumor-targeting signal-enhanced radioactive tracer in PET.  相似文献

Myocardial extractions of pyridaben, a mitochondrial complex I (MC-I) inhibitor, is well correlated with blood flow. Based on the synthesis and characterization of pyridaben analogue 2-tert-butyl-5-[2-(2-[18F]fluroethoxy)ethoxy]benzyloxy]-4-chloro-2H-pyridazin-3-one ([18F]FP2OP), this study assessed its potential to be developed as myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) agent.Methods: The tosylate labeling precursor 2-(2-(4-(tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-pyridazin-4-yloxymethyl)benzyloxy)ethoxy)ethyl ester (OTs-P2OP) and the nonradioactive 2-tert-butyl-5-[2-(2-[19F]fluroethoxy)ethoxy]benzyloxy]-4-chloro-2H-pyridazin-3-one ([19F]FP2OP) were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS analysis. By substituting tosyl of precursor OTs-P2OP with 18F, the radiolabeled complex [18F]FP2OP was prepared and further evaluated for its in vitro physicochemical properties, in vivo biodistribution, the metabolic stability in mice, ex vivo autoradiography and cardiac PET/CT imaging.Results: Starting with [18F]F? Kryptofix 2.2.2./K2CO3 solution, the total reaction time for [18F]FP2OP was about 100 min, with final high-performance liquid chromatography purification included. Typical decay-corrected radiochemical yield stayed at 41 ± 5.3%, the radiochemical purity, 98% or more. Biodistribution in mice showed that the heart uptake of [18F]FP2OP was 41.90 ± 4.52%ID/g at 2 min post-injection time, when the ratio of heart/liver, heart/lung and heart/blood reached 6.83, 9.49 and 35.74, respectively. Lipophilic molecule was further produced by metabolized [18F]FP2OP in blood and urine at 30 min. Ex vivo autoradiography demonstrates that [18F]FP2OP may have high affinity with MC-I and that can be blocked by [19F]FP2OP or rotenone (a known MC-I inhibitor). Cardiac PET images were obtained in a Chinese mini-swine at 5, 15, 30 and 60 min post-injection time with high quality.Conclusion: [18F]FP2OP was synthesized with high radiochemical yield. The promising biological properties of [18F]FP2OP suggest high potential as MPI agent for positron emission tomography in the future.  相似文献

Introduction

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease, affecting 0.5 to 1% of adults in industrialized countries, in which systemic inflammation and synovitis drive joint destruction. [18F]DPA-714 is a specific tracer of the 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO), which is overexpressed on activated macrophages, and proposed as a biomarker of neuroinflammation. Today, diagnosis of patients with early inflammatory arthritis is limited by poor sensitivity and specificity. The present study aims to investigate the potential of [18F]DPA-714 to monitor in vivo inflammatory processes at a preclinical stage via positron emission tomography (PET).

Methods

RA was induced in Dark Agouti rats by subcutaneous injection of inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Development of arthritis clinical signs was investigated daily and the severity of the disease evaluated. Animals were imaged at the peak of inflammation using [18F]DPA-714 and a small-animal PET-CT tomograph.

Results

The first clinical signs appeared at 10 days post-injection, with a peak of inflammation at 20 days. At this time, PET-analyses showed a clear uptake of [18F]DPA-714 in swollen ankles, with mean values of 0.52 ± 0.18% injected dose (ID/cc) for treated (n = 11) and 0.19 ± 0.09 for non-treated (n = 6) rats. A good correlation between [18F]DPA-714’s uptake and swelling was also found. Immunohistochemistry showed an enhanced TSPO expression in hind paws, mainly co-localized with the macrophages specific antigen CD68 expressing cells.

Conclusion

These preliminary results demonstrate that the TSPO 18kDa specific radioligand [18F]DPA-714 is adapted for the study and follow-up of inflammation linked to RA in our experimental model, suggesting also a strong potential for clinical imaging of peripheral inflammation.  相似文献

As an effort in the development of more flexible (18)F-labeling chemistry, we report herein on the use of the Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition, also known as the "click reaction", to form (18)F-labeled 1,2,3-triazoles. Nucleophilic fluorination of 2-azidoethyl-4-toluenesulfonate followed by distillation provided 2-[(18)F]fluoroethylazide in 55% radiochemical yield (decay-corrected). 2-[(18)F]fluoroethylazide was reacted with a small library of terminal alkynes in the presence of excess Cu(2+)/ascorbate or copper powder. The most reactive alkyne, N-benzylpropynamide provided nearly quantitative incorporation of 2-[(18)F]fluoroethylazide after 15 min at ambient temperature, whereas the majority of the alkyne substrates provided excellent yields of the corresponding (18)F-labeled 1,2,3-triazoles following heating to 80 degrees C. Using the method described, a model peptide was obtained in 92.3 +/- 0.3% (n = 3) radiochemical yield (decay-corrected) after purification by semipreparative HPLC.  相似文献

Aim of this study was to label the potent dual P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor elacridar (1) with (18)F to provide a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer to visualize Pgp and BCRP. A series of new 1- and 2-halogen- and nitro-substituted derivatives of 1 (4a-e) was synthesized as precursor molecules and reference compounds for radiolabelling and shown to display comparable in vitro potency to 1 in increasing rhodamine 123 accumulation in a cell line overexpressing human Pgp (MDCKII-MDR1). 1-[(18)F]fluoroelacridar ([(18)F]4b) was synthesized in a decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 1.7±0.9% by a 1-step no-carrier added nucleophilic aromatic (18)F-substitution of 1-nitro precursor 4c. Small-animal PET imaging of [(18)F]4b was performed in na?ve rats, before and after administration of unlabelled 1 (5 mg/kg, n=3), as well as in wild-type and Mdr1a/b((-/-))Bcrp1((-/-)) mice (n=3). In PET experiments in rats, administration of unlabelled 1 increased brain activity uptake by a factor of 9.5 (p=0.0002, 2-tailed Student's t-test), whereas blood activity levels remained unchanged. In Mdr1a/b((-/-))Bcrp1((-/-)) mice, the mean brain-to-blood ratio of activity at 60 min after tracer injection was 7.6 times higher as compared to wild-type animals (p=0.0002). HPLC analysis of rat brain tissue extracts collected at 40 min after injection of [(18)F]4b revealed that 93±7% of total radioactivity in brain was in the form of unchanged [(18)F]4b. In conclusion, the in vivo behavior of [(18)F]4b was found to be similar to previously described [(11)C]1 suggesting transport of [(18)F]4b by Pgp and/or BCRP at the rodent BBB. However, low radiochemical yields and a significant degree of in vivo defluorination will limit the utility of [(18)F]4b as a PET tracer.  相似文献

A strategy for the solid phase synthesis of [18F]labelled peptides has been developed. The peptides were prepared on solid support and acylated with 4-[18F]fluorobenzoic acid using HATU within 3 min and the labelled peptide was released from the solid support within 7 min. The [18F]labelled peptides were produced in good purity with a specific activity of 20-25 GBq/micromol.  相似文献

We studied the tumor uptake and metabolism of 4-borono-2-[18F]fluoro-d,l-phenylalanine ([18F]FBPA), an 18F-labeled target compound for boron neutron capture therapy. In mice bearing FM3A mammary carcinoma, the accumulation of [18F]FBPA in the FM3A for the first 2 h, and its decrease in all other tissues, resulted in high FM3A-to-tissue uptake ratios. In the FM3A, the tracer was stable for metabolic alteration, which was in contrast to the gradual increase of protein-bound radioactivity in plasma. Imaging of FM3A was demonstrated by whole body autoradiography. [18F]FBPA has potential for use as a PET tracer for tumor imaging with high contrast, even in the pancreas.  相似文献

The noninvasive imaging of cell death, including apoptosis and necrosis, is an important tool for the assessment of degenerative diseases and in the monitoring of tumor treatments. Duramycin is a peptide of 19-amino acids. It binds specifically to phosphatidylethanolamine a novel molecular target for cell death. N-(2-18F-Fluoropropionyl)duramycin ([18F]FPDuramycin) was prepared as a novel positron emission tomography (PET) tracer from the reaction of duramycin with 4-nitrophenyl 2-[18F]fluoropropionate ([18F]NFP). Compared with control cells (viable tumor cells), the in vitro binding of [18F]FPDuramycin with apoptotic cells induced by anti-Fas antibody resulted in a doubling increase, while the binding of [18F]FPDuramycin with necrotic cells induced by three freeze and thaw cycles resulted in a threefold increase. Biodistribution study in mice exhibited its rapid blood and renal clearance and predominant accumulation in liver and spleen over 120 min postinjection. Small-animal PET/CT imaging with [18F]FPDuramycin proved to be a successful way to visualize in vivo therapeutic-induced tumor cell death. In summary, [18F]FPDuramycin seems to be a potential PET probe candidate for noninvasive visualization of in vivo cell death sites induced by chemotherapy in tumors.  相似文献

L-ascorbic acid (AA) was reported to have an anti-cancer effect over 40 years. In recent years, several ongoing clinical trials are exploring the safety and efficacy of intravenous high-dose AA for cancer treatment. The lack of appropriate imaging modality limits the identification of potentially suitable patients for AA treatment. This study focuses on identifying AA-sensitive tumor cells using molecular imaging. 6-Deoxy-6-[18F] fluoro-L-ascorbic Acid (18F-DFA), a structural analog of AA, was synthesized and labeled to visualize the metabolism of AA in vivo. Colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines with high and low expression of sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters 2 (SVCT2) were used for a series of cellular uptake tests. PET imaging was performed on xenograft tumor-bearing mice. More AA uptake was observed in CRC cells with high SVCT2 expression than in cells with low SVCT2 expression. The substrate (unlabeled AA) can competitively inhibit the 18F-DFA tracer uptake by CRC cells. The biodistribution of 18F-DFA in mice showed high radioactivity was seen in organs such as adrenal glands, kidneys, and liver that were known to have high concentrations of AA. Both PET imaging and tissue distribution showed that cancer cells with high SVCT2 expression enhanced the accumulation of 18F-DFA in mice after tumor formation. Immunohistochemistry was used to verify the corresponding results. As a radiotracer, 18F-DFA can provide powerful imaging information to identify tumor with high affinity of AA, and SVCT2 can be a potential biomarker in this process.  相似文献

An investigation of the metabolism of [18F]-6-fluorodopa (FDOPA) given to carbidopa treated subjects for scanning by positron emission tomography (PET) has been carried out by analysis of plasma. Reverse phase ion pair HPLC and alumina extraction were employed to fractionate and identify the [18F]-labelled compounds of plasma over a two hour period. During this time, the plasma levels of both total 18F and FDOPA decreased as a bi-exponential function of time. The rates of 18F, but not FDOPA, elimination were observed to decrease with age. In addition to FDOPA, only one other major peak of radioactivity was resolved by HPLC. Identification of this compound as the O-methylated derivative of FDOPA (MeFDOPA) is based on its shared HPLC elution time with in vitro synthesized O-[methyl-14C]-FDOPA. The ratio of the concentration of MeFDOPA to FDOPA (MeFDOPA/FDOPA) in plasma increased linearly with time, and the slope of this linear relationship decreased with the age of the individual.  相似文献

Fluoroalkyl and fluoroaryl analogues of valdecoxib were found to possess potent inhibitory activities against cyclooxygenase-2 comparable to that of the parent valdecoxib. Among them, the fluoromethyl analogue was chosen for 18F-labeling. Thus, 4-(5-[18F]fluoromethyl-3-phenylisoxazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide (approximately 2000 Ci/mmol at end of synthesis) was synthesized by [18F]fluoride-ion displacement of the corresponding tosylate in approximately 40% decay-corrected radiochemical yield within approximately 120 min from end of bombardment.  相似文献

[18F]FEAC ([18F]4a) and [18F]FEDAC ([18F]4b) were developed as two novel positron emission tomography (PET) ligands for peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR). [18F]4a and [18F]4b were synthesized by fluoroethylation of precursors 8a and 8b with [18F]FCH2CH2Br ([18F]9), respectively. Small-animal PET scan for a neuroinflammatory rat model showed that the two radioligands had high uptakes of radioactivity in the kainic acid-infused striatum, a brain region where PBR density was increased.  相似文献

Monitoring immune function with molecular imaging could have a considerable impact on the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of immunological disorders and therapeutic immune responses. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging modality with applications in cancer and other diseases. PET studies of immune function have been limited by a lack of specialized probes. We identified [(18)F]FAC (1-(2'-deoxy-2'-[(18)F]fluoroarabinofuranosyl) cytosine) by differential screening as a new PET probe for the deoxyribonucleotide salvage pathway. [(18)F]FAC enabled visualization of lymphoid organs and was sensitive to localized immune activation in a mouse model of antitumor immunity. [(18)F]FAC microPET also detected early changes in lymphoid mass in systemic autoimmunity and allowed evaluation of immunosuppressive therapy. These data support the use of [(18)F]FAC PET for immune monitoring and suggest a wide range of clinical applications in immune disorders and in certain types of cancer.  相似文献

In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the biochemical, morphological and molecular genetic differentiation of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Fluorine-18 L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography ((18)F-DOPA-PET) has been introduced for differentiation between focal and diffuse CHI. The ability to take up L-DOPA and convert it into dopamine is correlated with the activity of the aromatic amino acid decarboxylase and increased in the hyperfunctional affected pancreatic area in comparison to normally functioning pancreas. The high sensitivity of this method allows the surgeon to perform a curative limited resection of a focus without the risk of long-term diabetes. The exact preoperative planning by (18)F-DOPA-PET/CT computer tomography allows laparoscopic operation in selected cases with the focus in the tail and limits necessity to open the pancreatic duct in cases with focus in the head. Patients with persistent CHI should be managed within a strong network of diagnostic, treatment, and research institutions.  相似文献

In recent years, [18F]Fluorodéoxyglucose-PET imaging has emerged as an important oncological imaging modality. In metastatic thyroid carcinoma (M1), [18F]FDG-PET has been shown to have a high sensitivity in non iodine-avid metastases and/or dedifferentiated tumours and may therefore provide real-time prognostic information. The use of [18F]FDG-PET is more controversial in M0 patients with low residual serum Tg values but is very sensitive in aggressive histotypes such as tall cell variants of papillary thyroid carcinomas.  相似文献

Lipophilic cations such as phosphonium salts penetrate the hydrophobic barriers of the plasma and mitochondrial membranes and accumulate in mitochondria in response to the negative inner-transmembrane potentials. Thus, as newly developed noninvasive imaging agents, [(18)F]-labeled phosphonium salts may serve as molecular "voltage sensor" probes to investigate the role of mitochondria, particularly in myocardial disease. The present study reports the radiosynthesis of (6-fluorohexyl)triphenylphosphonium salt (3) as a potential agent for myocardial imaging by using positron emission tomography (PET). The reference compound of (6-[(18)F]fluorohexyl)triphenylphosphonium salt ([(18)F]3) was synthesized with 74% yield via three-step nucleophilic substitution reactions. The reference compound was radiolabeled via two-step nucleophilic substitution reactions of no-carrier-added [(18)F]fluoride with the precursor hexane-1,6-diyl bis(4-methylbenzenesulfonate) in the presence of Kryptofix 2.2.2 and K(2)CO(3). The radiolabeled compound was synthesized with 15-20% yield. The radiochemical purity was >98% by analytical HPLC, and the specific activity was >6.10-6.47 TBq/μmol. The cellular uptake assay showed preferential uptake of [(18)F]3 in cardiomyocytes. The results of biodistribution and micro-PET imaging studies of [(18)F]3 in mice and rats showed preferential accumulation in the myocardium. The results suggest that this compound would be a promising candidate for myocardial imaging.  相似文献

In this study, 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose, ([18F]FDG) was used to radiolabel human granulocytes in vitro for possible clinical use by positron emission tomography (PET). Uptake of [18F]FDG was dependent on the amount of glucose in the labelling medium, e.g. when 1 × 107 granulocytes were incubated with [18F]FDG containing 15μg/mL glucose 80% of [18F]FDG was incorporated within 30 min, but in the presence of 1 mg/mL of glucose it was reduced to 2%. Increasing the cell concentration and activating the granulocytes with Streptococcus pneumoniae, opsonized zymosan or phorbol myristate acetate all increased the uptake of [18F]FDG. Retention of the [18F]FDG by the cells as [18F]FDG-6-phosphate was also dependent on the extracellular glucose concentration, 9% was released within 60 min in the absence of glucose, but 27% in the presence of 1 mg/mL glucose.  相似文献
