Six fluorine-18-labeled alkylating agents were selected as potentially suitable synthons for the labeling of antisense oligonucleotides. The selected synthons were evaluated in a model reaction with the monomer adenosine 5'-O-thiomonophosphate. Of these synthons, alpha-bromo-alpha'-[18F]fluoro-m-xylene and N-(4-[18F]fluorobenzyl)-2-bromoacetamide were found to be the most promising. Labeling with the former synthon was less complicated and time consuming and gave higher uncorrected overall yields. The latter synthon required smaller amounts of the costly precursor to achieve acceptable labeling yields.

Introduction: Enterohepatic circulation (EHC) of conjugated bile acids is an important physiological process crucial for regulation of intracellular concentrations of bile acids and their function as detergents and signal carriers. Only few bile acid-derived imaging agents have been synthesized and hitherto none have been evaluated for studies of EHC. We hypothesized that N-(4-[F]fluorobenzyl)cholylglycine ([F]FBCGly), a novel fluorine-18 labeled derivative of endogenous cholylglycine, would be a suitable tracer for PET of the EHC of conjugated bile acids, and we report here a radiosynthesis of [F]FBCGly and a proof-of-concept study by PET/MR in rats.

Introduction: Several lines of evidence suggest that 7α-substituted estradiol derivatives bind to the estrogen receptor (ER). In line with this hypothesis, we designed and synthesized (18)F-labeled 7α-fluoroalkylestradiol (Cn-7α-[(18)F]FES) derivatives as molecular probes for visualizing ERs. Previously, we successfully synthesized 7α-(3-[(18)F]fluoropropyl)estradiol (C3-7α-[(18)F]FES) and showed promising results for quantification of ER density in vivo, although extensive metabolism was observed in rodents.

The fluorine-18-labeled positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer [(18) F]MK-9470 is a selective, high affinity inverse agonist that has been used to image the cannabinoid receptor type 1 in human brain in healthy and disease states. This report describes a simplified, one-step [(18) F]radiofluorination approach using a GE TRACERlab FXFN module for the routine production of this tracer. The one-step synthesis, by [(18) F]fluoride displacement of a primary tosylate precursor, gives a six-fold increase in yield over the previous two-step method employing O-alkylation of a phenol precursor with 1,2-[(18) F]fluorobromoethane.

In the search for an efficient, fluorine-18 labeled amino acid based radiotracer for tumor imaging with positron emission tomography (PET), two new tryptophan analogs were synthesized and characterized in vitro and in vivo. Both are tryptophan alkyl-derivatives, namely 2-(3-[(18)F]fluoropropyl)-DL-tryptophan ([(18)F]2-FPTRP) and 5-(3-[(18)F]fluoro-propyl)-DL-tryptophan ([(18)F]5-FPTRP). Standard reference compounds and precursors were prepared by multi step approaches.

The metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) is recognized to be involved in numerous brain disorders. In an effort to obtain a fluorine-18 labeled analogue of the mGluR5 PET tracer [(11)C]ABP688, 13 novel ligands based on the core structure of ABP688 were synthesized. Molecules in which the methyl group at the oxime functionality of ABP688 was replaced by fluorobenzonitriles, fluoropyridines, and fluorinated oxygen containing alkyl side chains were investigated.
