Recently, there is much interest to label choline with C-11 and F-18 for PET imaging of various tumors. Hara et al. reported the preparation of [ 18 F]fluoroethylcholine (FECh) and DeGrado et al. the synthesis of [ 18 F]fluorocholine (FCH). Both syntheses require sophisticated purification step (pre

β¦ Synopsis
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a high-resolution, sensitive and non-invasive imaging technique that can be used in humans. It is the most advanced technology current ly available for studying in vivo molecular interactions and also represents the method of choice to assess the distribution and pharmacokinetics of proteins in vivo. The most widely used positronemitting radiohalogen is fluorine-18 (half-life : 109.8 minutes). Among the positron emitters, it is likely to be the radionuclide of choice for its physical and nuclear characteristics. However, apart from a few exceptions, its use precludes the "direct labelling" of macromolecules such as proteins and requires the design and development of dedicated fluorine-18 labelled prosthetic groups (1,2). Carboxylic acids and their succinimidyl derivatives are the most common reagents developped and dedicated to the labelling of amine functions (Lys -( e )NH2 essentially) via acylation reactions. In the present work, we have designed and synthesized a [
18 F]fluoropyridinyne-based maleimide reagent, [ 18 F]-1, for specific radioactive alkylation of thiol functions (Cys-SH).
