Abstract
The versatile (18) F-labeled prosthetic group, 4-nitrophenyl 2-[(18) F]fluoropropionate ([(18) F]NFP), was synthesized in a single step in 45 min from 4-nitrophenyl 2-bromopropionate, with a decay corrected radiochemical yield of 26.2% ± 2.2%. Employing this improved synthesis of [(18) F]NFP, [(18) F]GalactoRGD - the current 'gold standard' tracer for imaging the expression of αV β3 integrin - was prepared with high specific activity in 90 min and 20% decay corrected radiochemical yield from [(18) F]fluoride.Entities:
