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 (18)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.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of angelicin on the NSCLC tumor growth.
Background: Accumulating evidence shows that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis, making CAFs an increasingly attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Targeted therapies against CAFs have been considered to have the potential to significantly improve cancer treatment outcomes, overcome resistance, and improve immune evasion.

Copper-mediated radiofluorination (CMRF) of organoboronic precursors is the method of choice for late-stage radiofluorination of aromatic compounds as positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers. However, CMRF generally requires harsh reaction conditions, a large amount of substrates, and harsh solvents (e.g.

Purpose: In cancer immunotherapy, the blockade of the interaction between programmed death-1 and its ligand (PD-1:PD-L1) has proven to be one of the most promising strategies. However, as mechanisms of resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition include variability in tumor cell PD-L1 expression in addition to standard tumor biopsy PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC), a comprehensive and quantitative approach for measuring PD-L1 expression is required. Herein, we report the development and characterization of an F-PD-L1-binding macrocyclic peptide as a PET tracer for the comprehensive evaluation of tumor PD-L1 expression in cancer patients.

Background: After initial treatment of prostate cancer, increases in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels commonly signify potential relapse or metastasis. 18F-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is considered a promising treatment due to its favorable physical properties.
Purpose: To investigate the diagnostic value of 18F-PSMA PET/CT for the recurrence and/or metastasis of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BRPca).

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is regarded as a promising target for the diagnosis and treatment of tumors as it was overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts. FAP inhibitors bearing a quinoline scaffold have been proven to show high affinity against FAP and , and the scaffold has been radio-labeled for the imaging and treatment of FAP-positive tumors. However, currently available FAP imaging agents both contain chelator groups to enable radio-metal labeling, making those tracers more hydrophilic and not suitable for the imaging of lesions in the brain.
