Abstract
A hexafluorinated 2-nitroimidazole (CCI-103F) has been synthesized and its properties as a hypoxic cell binder investigated. The drug has a plasma half-life of 90 min in Balb/C mice and a tumor-to-plasma ratio of 0.8. Following sustained exposure to the drug and a washout period for the unbound drug, liver and tumor samples were excised. NMR investigation of the excised tissue in a 2.35 T animal sized NMR facility revealed the presence of 19F bound to both tissues. Further improvement in sensitivity is required to make 19F NMR detection of binding in situ feasible.Entities:
