Abstract
Three new 18F labeled fluoroalkyl tyrosine derivatives, O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-alpha-methyltyrosine (FEMT, [18F]2), O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-2-L-azatyrosine (FEAT, [18F]3), O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosineamide (FETA, [18F]4) have been synthesized and radiofluorinated with 5-34% decay-corrected yield. In vitro studies were carried out in U-138 MG human glioblastoma. Cellular uptake of new tracers was compared to clinically utilized imaging agent O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET, [18F]1). The uptake of tracers followed the order of FET ([18F]1) > FEAT([18F]3) > FEMT ([18F]2) approximately FETA ([18F]4). Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.Entities:
